German legislators continue to
agitate measures aimed at Ameri
can industrial supremacy, and in
their debates they make no secret
of their dread of American power.
Wednesday this hostility took the
form of a bill to increase the larif
UDon American refined petroleum
which was voted in the face of wise
counsel to the contrary. Ycste
idav it appeared in a proposition
by Baron Heylzu Hermsheim to
have the Government denounce
the "most favored nation" treaties
especially with America. Herr
Bernstein, socialist, pointed out
that such action would renof to
the injury of Germany, but
aerari.in member declared the
United States is more interested
in maintaining trade relations
than" Germany. As a matter
of
fact, the United States buys com
paratively little from Germany
and we believe can find markets
elsewhere for all products that
Germany is not compelled to buy
from us, regardless of duties,
of duties. Germany is not a self-
mipportina nation. The United
States has plenty for its own peo
ple and to spare and goes abroad
only far luxuries. Pittsburg "Ga
zette." Oregon Timber la la Deaaaud.
The most attractive feature
about Oregon to the eastern home
seekers coming here at present
seems to be our timber resources.
Harry Foster, who is now located
in southern Oregon, says that
almost every available acre of tim
ber land in that portion of the
state, and especially in the neigh
borhood of Grant's Pass, has been
taken up recently. Investors are
even locating timber 41 and 50
miles from the raildway. He-says
it is realized that in a few short
years even the boundless resources
of the timber belts of Oregon and
Washington will be on the retired
list. A tremendous impetus has
been given to the business during
the paet year and hundreds of new
sawmills have been put in motion
all through the timber belts on
both states. At the present rate
of consumption, including the de
mand from China and Japan, as
well as our own eastern states, the
price of stumpage and timber tracts
wiirmaterially advance in a short
time.
Automobiles and Pedeatrlana
A young man ran down an old
woman with his automobile in
New York Monday, inflicting prob
ably fatal injuries, and might have
been rudely it not fatally handled
by indignant bystanders except
that policemen were on hand to
protect him and hustle him off to
a place of safety. The telegraphic
story of the incident does not indi-
cate the extent or degree of his
carelessness or negligence, but it
may safely be assumed that he was
careless and therefore should suffer
a severe penalty. Automobiles
must have a right to use city
stieets, but their owners and driv
ers must also be held accountable
for such accidents. The rule
should be that automobilists look
but where they are going, and ex
cept in the case of grosB careless
ness on the part of the injured
persons must be held responsible
for injuries inflicted. This old
woman may have been slow, but
the driver of the vehicle should
have counted on that, and reason
ed, in time, that it was not only
natural but proper for an old
woman to move slowly. Or before
he ran upon her on turning a
sharp corner, he should have calcu
lated that an old woman might
be slowly crossing the street that
he was wheeling into, or thut a
child might suddenly dart athwart
the path of his rushing machine.
In brief, while automobilists are to
be given due rights and privileges
on thoroughfares, they must also
be held to accountability in such
cases. It is for them to beware of
the presence of pedetterians ah2: d
of them, rather than for pedestrians
properly crossing a street to keep
watch in all directions for Fcorch
ing vehicles. Telegram.
Miss Lena Hurley, who says she
is the daughter of the Postmaster

does, has been excluded Irom land

money, but becjuse she is almost

to be a daughter of a wealthy
Costa Rienn planter, arriving a

Miss Allen disappeared immediati

and has not since been seen. Miss
Hurley was found in her cabin

. Christ Benson has entered a
plea of "not guilty" to the charge
of murdering Jailer David Morrcll
in Olympia March 1st. Ho was
rearraigned a second time before
Judge 0. V. Linn of the Superior
Court here in order to make the
state's proceedings against him en
tirely regular. A second motion
to quash the information against
him was overruled, and he was
called upon to plead. Benson cor
rected the spelling of his Christian
name in the information." He
says it is spelled "Christ," and
pronounced as if it were the first
syllable of the word Christian.
Benson's trial will be set for early
in April, when the assignment of
the cases for the
April terai is
made.
When the government ship

proposed building of six battle

uccumbed to seasickness.. When
his sufferings had become too in
tense to be borne longer in silence
Uncle Joe" called out to Secre
tary Moody: "Say, Moody, if you
will get us to shore quickly I'll
give you six battle ships noxt win

than that," exclaimed Senator
Hale, I'll favor 20 battle ships if
the secretary will only keep the
ship still for half an hour."

Piano names are a legion and in
quality and character they vary
quite as much is human nature.
Generally speaking there is tin
cheap commercial Jvind that sell
for a small sum, and come dearer
then the "stenciled" one at which
(lie linger of scorn is always point
jd, the medium priced piano, a
whole horde of them and which art
always pleasing; the high stand
ard piano costing a little more, but
a kind it always pays to l ave; and
finally those that have reached the
very pinnacle of perfection. Pi
anos that remain faultless and
sweet in tone, perfectly sound in
construction and pleasing in 'ion
struction for more than one gener
aticn to enjoy. Instruments that
gifted artists have lavished time
ltd talent on to produce decora
tion to harmoniit with the artistic
md refined tone within; on which
the scientific piano make has be
sionm skill, experience and ex'
perimtmt to evolve a casa combin
ing perfect symmetry of outline
with the utmost possibility for
tone production; to whose con
struction the forests of the world
have yielded up their richest
woods; mine and forge have con
tributed fine metals; from out the
Orient rare ivories have been
gleaned and upland flocks have
fvmished finest fleece for felts and
leathers. Supreme intelligence and
judgment the most discriminating
musical ear and the greatest me'
chanical skill have co-operated to
so assemble combine proportion,
shape and finish these rare pro
ducts that sweetest tone, the great

sponsive touch and perfectly bal
anced action shall produce a fault
less instrument. Few pianos pos
sess all these qualities and none to
so marked degree as the dicker
ing piano, the oldest in America,
Boston's best; the Weber of New
York, by many odds the finest in
strument made in that city, and
the great Kimball of Chicago, the
most modern and progressive up
to-date piano made. One that
through Bheer virtuo of its suier

ableness of i's price has risen in
its short existence of fifteen years
to a prominence in the musical

"AfUr my first baby wat born I did not

better I grew weaker every day. My hus

grateful to find my strength and health

Wine of Cardui reinforces the organi
of generation for the ordeal of preg

of Cardui need fear the coming of her
child. If Mrs. Unrath had taken
Wine of Cardui before her baby came
she would not have been weakened as
she was. Her rapid recovery shou' I

wiw here aha had made Jaofc Urn ham', ac
quaintance. He lifted hia hat, and without another
word turned abruptly away. The girl
made an uncertain movement, at if about
to follow; then ehe turned and went ilowly
into the houie.
"Where have you been, my dear!" her
mother aektd, querulomly.
"Only for a walk," Koaolind anawered,
turning away.
"You have been a long time, and ire you
have not replied to Mr. Hnrgreavei' letter.
"It doci not matter, mother."
" 'Docs not niatter, indeed! Kiwaliod.

And it gave the kindly landlady gnat

"Any tucceea to-day?" ahe atlted, yniu

thtn suddenly there came to her iniiid ti e

purled from Jack (irahnm, and of nil the
bitter worda he had raid, and he dicw a
note book toward her eagerly, She rrcol
lectcif every word uf that convenathm.
S 'e would write a tUv y of which that teerie
should be the central iucidtnt!
Ity noun on the fidlon in Hay Kutatind had
mm!p up her firtl literary proamnion into
a neat parcel, arid tad Hu patched it to the
editor of the Argua. The only communica
tion ahe dent with it was a formal note ak
ing that the manuscript, if rejected, aliouU
be returned to "Mia R., in care of Mn. Bur
ton." The editor of the Argun was not in a very
amiable mood on the morning when it came
into hit handt, and the-effort of an ama
teur were no't likely to be mercifully treat
ed. J lie morning mail had broog;it an al
most overwhelming flood of manuncripta.
Why on eartti will women init on try
ing to write Verne?" he uid, irritably, fold
ing up the manuscript he had juit glanced
over.
He incloiod the printed note conveying
the uaual polite compliments and regret,
and then turned to look for the writer'
name,
"MUn Jane Hargreovei! I wouder it that
it a relation of Koualind U'eKtray'n hus
band?" He sealed the envelope and laid it
ande. "Poor lWalind he defined a bet
ter fate!" he aaid, aoftly. "How ravage I
wat with her that night! Perhaps had 1
been more patient ahe might have Hut,
there, Smithaon teita me that Mn, Har
greaves if 'the j oil lent woman' in the
comity!"
He sat silent for a time, and finally awoke
from hia reverie with a start,
"1 must get on with thi ruhbiih, I sup
pose" and he dragged Kosalind 't manu
script viciously from it cover. "Another!
, Well, I'll make hurried readings do."
j On the contrary, however, he rend and re
read the manuscript. When he reached a
certain point during the first perusal he
went back to the beginning and started
afresh; when he reached that point, he
topped and looked at the address wonder
ingly.
" 'Min R,( care of Mra. Burton.' Who
Mr. Burton, and who ia Mits R.f Can it
be only a coincidence? It's impossible! It
ia Carmet, without a doubt, and she cer
tainly wore a gray dreaa, and the words are
just the same!"
He read the manuscript yet once again,
then he looked at his watch, and finally rang
the bell. Five minutea later he was being
rapidly driven toward Mn. Burton's board
ing house.
I- Miss Westray waa engaged in darning
tocking when Mrs. Burton announced that
gentleman wished to aee "Miss R."
Flurried and excited, Rosalind entered
the parlor, and Mra. Burton closed the
door. A moment of intense silence followed,
broken at length by Jack Graham's ituin
jnering "Mrs. Hargreaves!"
1 "Ah, no," the girl cried, hot blushescolor
Ing her pale cheeks "not Mrs. anybody!"
