BK Southerner by Birth but an Oregonian by Adoption. Jno. S. Hodgin, for a number of years a practicing attorney in Union and Wallowa counties, will be a can didate for the Democratic nomination for the office of district attorney in Union county. This announcement was made by Mr. Hodgin today, after deliberating upon toe matter for some time. He has been in public life for some time and is generally known Ito the entire population of this county. Mr. Hodgin was born in Guilford county, North Carolina, where his an cestors have lived for more than 200 years. He comes of old Quaker stock, though some of his ancestors fought in Ithe Revolution and the Indian war preceding. When quite young Mr. Hodgin left home, in fact before finishing his ed ucation, and came to Oregon where he took up his education at the Pacific university, an Oregon college. After ward he spent some time in Califot nja attending as a post-graduate stu dent the Standford university and Lick Observatory. He returned to this state in 1894 where he has since resided. In the study of law he was for a time with former Attorney Gen eral A. M. Crawford in Salem and was also for a time a student at the Port land Law Schools. For eighteen years he has practiced law in East ern Oregon, more than eight of that time in La Grande. He is an Oregon ian 'by adoption and largely by edu cation, although the first three years of his college life was in eastern in stitutions. Mr. Hodgin is a Democrat in na tional politics, but by his own state ment he maintains a strict independ ence in state and county affairs. It will be remembered that Oswald West, while governor of Oregon, voluntar ily apnointcd Mr. Hodgin to the of fice of district attorney in 1914, when it was presumed a vacancy occurred due Ito a change in the state law. which construction was afterward set aside by the supreme court. . Ho was at the time of this appointment holdine the federal position of referee In bankruptcy and also the city at torneyship for La Grande, both . of which he resigned when the district attorney appointment was made. During1 the short time he held the of fice of district attorney his record as an official was good. tt LOST Somewhere between Orctron hotel and the Passenger Depot, 300 customers.

"t athcr and the Boys," with Dig by Bell to supply the fun in a re markably delightful photoplay. The picture, in brief, shows how father puts one over on the boys in "Foxy Grandpa" style.

"Alaska is a land flowing with milk and honey like the promised land of the ancient Israelites but the milk must be sought out, and the honey carefully gathered.' The future and possibilities of the territory of Alaska are thus ambig uously expressed in the annual re port to the Secretary of the Interior of Gov. J. F. A. Strong made public to day. The roseate word picture painted by Governor Strong is based on solid facts and figures as to the increased agricultural activities, greater miner al output and the vast coal fields which await only the coming .of the new governmrit raiHroad to make them big factors in the coal market ' Discussing the Alaska Coal fields the report says: "Tests of the Mat- anuaka coal for steaming purposes were made during the year under the direction o the haw dauairtment. and the coal was found eminently sat isfactory. This field, therefore, should supply the government with all the coal it needs on the Pacific coast, including Hawaii and the Phili pines, for naval and other purposes.'.' , ! That the Pacific coast will find a new market at which it can aurchase coke, thus affording it relief from the present situation is indicated by the statement that the Alaska coal fields contain large quantities of coal suit able for coking purposes. "The completion of the government system of railroads at. -the earliest possible time is a matter of prime importance to the territory." says the report.

Water users don't seem to understand . that practically all the trouble this year is inside the buildings. Letting the faucets run often freezes the waste pipes. If the stop and waste were opened and the faucets were opened there would be no trouble. Portland, Astoria and many cities of the northwest are using much more water than in the driest year during the irrigation season. Some 1500 to 1600 connections would run the entire Grande iRonde river through if alt opened at the same. -time.

Although "gold" and fAlaSka" have been made almost synonynous. the report states that probably the most conspicious feature of minim? development in Alaska during the Inst year is shown 111 the greatly increas ed production of copper ores.

' Three hundred years ago the busi ness of finding out witches was welt established and accepted In courts of law as highly proper. In 10-19 it Is recorded that the magis trates of Newcastle, England, sent to htotland for nn expert witch finder. This gifted person proceeded to show his skill by quickly discovering fifteen witches and securing their conviction. One Matthew Hopkins was a cele brated witch finder of that period. It was easy to discover witches when yon knew how. The suspected person could be forced to weep and then de tected by the well known fuct that a witch could shed only three tears and those from the left eye. or she could be pricked with plus to discover the spot insensible to pain, which was a sure sign of dealings with tbe devil. , That women were fur more likely to dabble in witchcraft than men was conceded. Tbe reason was satisfacto rily explained by a famous German text book on witches published in the fifteenth century. It was simply that women were inherently wicked, where as men naturally inclined to goodness. Exchange.
