' STAH TREASURER
Although there are six candidates In
the field for State Treasurer it is now
conceded that either Ralph Hoyt of Port
land or E. V. Carter of Jackson County
will be nominated.
Mr. Carter says, "If elected I will reside
in Salem and give the office my personal
attention." Mr. Hoyt is silent on this
point. , .v-
Mr; Carter says, "If elected I will turn
over to the State' every dollar of the
interest paid on State funds." This
money, from $10,000 to $20,000 per
annum, has heretofore been retained by
the Treasursr.
As Mr. Hoyt is silent on this poin also
it is fair to assume that he intends to
pocket this interest money as has been
aone in ins past, win you vote for a
Portland man and thus continue this
graft? A vote for E. V. Carter is a vote
to stop this graft and reduce taxes
correspondingly.

martial law, fearing an out-break of the
inflamed people. Hunger ana rrtgnt nave
made the refugees desperate. Soldiers
are sharing their rations and livinv nn I
half the amount of food they should have, j
me railway approaches are covered with
many reel or sand and ashes, making1
navigation Impossible. The King and
Queen however, are in the field bringing
relief to the sufferers as fast as thai)
private purses can hold out. A fortune
has already been spent by these two
heads of the nation. The queen Is prac
tically unattended in these stricken scenes,
administering to the wants of the people
to her outmost ability. The showers of
hot mud has ceassd and the people are
very slowly beglning to realize the im
portant fact that the worst seems to be
over. maHUCI. tna ecwmtut aneamna

encouraging messages to the people and

people. Pope Plus has sent two thous

Ghouls are busy in the email towns
and enrolling robbing and stealing from
the wounded and dead. The soldiers
are making hundreds of arrest but the
work still goes on.
GHOULS AT WORK
A party of rescuers in the vie inity of
Ottanjano found the body of a young
woman, the daughter of an owner of a
large vineyard, badly mutilated. Her
fingers were cut off and ears torn, ap
parently by ghouls who stole her ring and
ear rings. Her clothes being cut plainly
shows they were after her belt which
many pheasants wear to carry their
money.
