HOLVERSO
The grand Jury late this afternoon
brought out a grist of Indictments and
one not true bill, but the only one
which has been made public is the
latter, In the case of Oregon vs. Nels
Holverson, C. 8, Hawea and.: Frank
Standford, all of Hllgard, who were
accused of violating the local option
law. This ends the weeks of litigation
and frequent arrests that have been
brought against Holverson." ,
It is believed the other matters re
ported by the grand Jury are' true
bills, , or the nature of the decisions
would, have been made public.
, The, case which Is now on trial Is
that hf Herman Rothschild, against
Nash -of North Powder. It Is over an
alleged sale of four horses.

ERRING YOUNG GIRL
Will Be Sent to Some Home In Port-
land Soon. ., -Oroa
Hopkins, a poor, unfortunate
girl who has been under arrest - for
several days, charged with roaming
the city, is being committed today by
Judge Henry to some Portland home,
whose specialty is to. care, for erring
young girls. This girl is said to be a
little past 15 years of age, with no
parents or friends to care for her, and
she hss fallen a victim to vicious and
designing men. The police picked her
up late one night and it is to be hoped
the step taken will result la good.
Bryan Knows It's Bosh.
fresldeut Roosevelt hiis sai; on

tion evils are chimerical. Courtesy
:profcably prevented the president from
adding that the alleged remedies are
so chimerical. Impracticable ' and ut
terly at variance not only wltb Che
constitution of the United States. lut
with the rights of property every
where throughout civilisation, as to
suggest Insincerity on the part of tho
person submitting ncfh flimsy absurd
Ules.
We have before pointed out thst
Bryan's plan of preventing any cor
poration from doing more than SO per
cent of the total boslness In any par
ticular line would Invalidate the pat
ent and trademark laws of the United
States and rob nch and every In
ventor of halt the Income to which he
Is entitled. It would Involve an In

and It mlsrbt readily be construed to
cover proprietary articles of every
sort But why pursue the snbjecO
President Roosevelt haa chosen the
more polished phrase "chimerical."
The fact is. however, ra plain talking
English. It's bo:ib just bosh, and Bry
an knows Ifs tosh.
President Roosevelt tgaln hits the
nail on the head when be says that
"no law defying corporation lias any
thing to fear from yon (Bryant aave
what It will suffer la the teaeral
paralysis of business wklch any at

the one corporation csnsplcnona for Its
defiance of taw and dealing In an arti

seems quite ready te nra the tisk f
Bryanlsm for the prospect hlch Bry

the law. The corporarsMi In ejueatle

Monday and today deposits at both

This almply tends to shpw that the

to general trade depression, but sim
