WILL SACRIFICE HIS HOME.
In all the dirty mess and muss of the
Holly Rollers, killing of Creffield,
trial of Mitchell and finally the killing
of Mitchell by his sister Esther, the
conduct of one person has shown out
like a beacon in a storm. O. V. Hurt
of Corvallis, the father of Mrs. Cref
field, has been an example of a true
man who has remained true and manly
under the worst load of trouble con
ceivable. His home was broken up by the in
famous Creffield, his daughter has re
viled him. but now when her need Is
greatest, when she has hardly a friend,
he offers to sacrifice his little home at
Corvallis to provide money for her
defense.
He dispised Creffield and fought
against his infamous doctrines and
influence; his testimony went farth
est toward clearing Mitchell; he
knows his daughter was an accom
plice to Mitchell's murder, but see the
great heart of the man in writing to
Mrs. Creffield's attorneys:
"I am greatly upset by the shock,"
states the letter, "but there is noth
ing in view of the circumstances, that
I can do but offer assistance to my de
luded daughter. My little home here
will only bring about $300 on a mort
gage, but I am willing to sacrifice it
for my daughter's sake If the two
women are tried together, I am willing
to back both of them "
The following just tribute to Mr.
Hurt appeared editorially in the Ore
gonian: "Any dissatisfied and unhappy citi
zen who thinks that he has a rough
time in his daily life, and that the
world .doesn't treat him well, should
pause long enough to consider the
case of Mr. O. V. Hurt, of Corvallis.
It is not necessary to enter into de
tails as to the recent history of the
Hurt family, for every one knows it;
and every one feels that few men have
deserved more and got less from the
hands of fortune or Providence, than
Mr. Hurt. Yet he has complained not
at all. but has met each new vicissi
tude with remarkable fortitude and
rare devotion to his high conception
of his duty. The members of his fam
ily have thought little of Mr. Hurt,
but they have received much from
him far more than many another
husband and father in like circum
stances could or would have given.
Now he is going to see that his mis
guided daughter, who abandoned and
reviled him. has proper legal defense
in her triM at Seattle. It is a fine
thing for him to do just as his en
tire conduct throughout his terrible
trouble, or series of troubles, has
been something really beautiful and
noble."
FOUR DIVISIONS OF GOVERN
MENT IN OREGON.
Now Mr. U'Ren proposes to draft a
law regulating the use of money in
political campaigns. Will it be en
acted? Of course it will, says the
Oregonian. In Oregon the state gov
ernment is divided into four depart
ments the executive, judicial, legis
lative and Mr. U'Ren and it is still
an open question which exerts the
most power. One fact must be con
sidered in making comparisons: That
the Legislature does not dare to repeal
the acts of Mr. U'Ren, the executive
has no opportunity to veto them, and
thus far the judiciary has upheld all
his laws and constitutional amend
ments. On the contrary, Mr. U'Ren
has boldly clopped the wings of the
executive and legislative departments
and when he gets time will doubtless
put some shackles on the Supreme
Court. To date, the indications are
that Mr. U'Ren outweighs any one,
and perhaps all three, of the other de
partments. 0
A GROUNDLESS FEAR.
In an interview at Salem, W. S.
U'Ren of this city deplored the exces
sive use of money during the recent
campaign and is quoted as saying that
the experience of the candidates (in
footing the bills) will deter many from
being candidates in the next cam
paign; that two years hence there
may be such a scarcity of candidates
that the offices will be hunting the
men!
Now wouldn't that be an awful state
of affairs. Just imagine offices going
begging in old Clackamas.
However, the taxpayers needn't
worry for fear there will be no one to
spend their money. If the worst
comes to the worst, the salaries can
be increased.
Joking aside, Mr. U'Ren is very
properly concerned about candidates
lavishing money too freely, and his
expressed desire to have laws passed
to stop the improper use of money In
elections is all right. And he is on
the right track, too, when he mentions
publicity of expenditures. There has
been found no cure for corruption,
graft, or other forms of stealing, that
equals publicity.
Evil thrives in darkness.
The city papers have lots of fun
with country papers and the make
shifts they sometimes use. More than
one small town paper was accused of
running the cut of Douglas the shoe
man as a picture of Parker who
(thought he was a candidate for presl
I dent two years ago. Hut there are
others. "Jim" Hill, the big railroad
magnate, was In Portland the other
day and the Otvgonlan had a picture
with his name abovo It on the front
page, but If It wasn't an old cut of
Fred Douglass, the negro orator, then
appearances are surely deceiving. In
the same Issue, the Orogonlan had a
picture of the old V. S. S. Charleston
for the new crusler of that name.
The Ice trusts are being Investi
gated all over the country. The revo
cation by the ice king of Kansas City,
that it costs only $1.73 a ton to man
ufacture ice ami deliver It, is causing
prosecuting attorneys to sit up and
take notice. Ice that costs the fac
tory less than $2 a ton put in custom
er's refrigerators should certainly be
sold at less than a cent a pound.
o
Another land grafter has been con
victed in Oregon. That state has
been hit hard by the revelations of
the land steals, and the last of the
prosecutions has not yet been reach
ed. The President and Secretary
Hitchcock have given orders to the
federal officials to let no guilty man
escape. St. Uniis U lobe-Democrat.
o
In the naval battle of Santiago the
loss of the I'ntted States was one man
killed. In the peaceful celebration of
July 4, 1900, the number killed was
over eighty. Peace hath its carnage,
compared with which that of some
famous battles Is small Indeed.
o
Mr. Bryan's speech on the white
man's burden sounds mightily like a
general indorsement of what the Unit
ed States government is doing in the
Philippines.
o
An advance is announced in the
peppermint market, which is merely
another way of saying that Kentucky
performed Its duty at the recent home
coming.
. o
Dr. Baker's "sunshine" religion is
the right kind, but will be unpopular
with the people who are never happy
unless they are miserable.
o
With his usual luck President Roose
velt got an allowance for traveling
expenses just as the passes were be
ing withdrawn.
EDITOR AS EVANGELIST
The Borealis Utters Solemn Warning
to Heedless Young Men
of Aurora.
The Borealis, whose bright beams
weekly rejoice the people of Aurora,
has viewed with alarm the Indiffer
ence to religious matters by the rising
generation, and last week that paper
contained a solemn warning which we
republish, headlines and all just as
it appeared in the scintilating Boreal
is: PAUSE. PAUSE,
YOUNG MAN
LET THE TRUTH SINK INTO YOUR
SOUL.
Drink From the Fountain of Know
ledge Before It Is Too
Late.
The Adventists are conducting their
meetings in the English language this
week, and the flrey eloquence of the
reverend gentlemen is burning mes
sages of truth into the hearts of our
people which will no doubt take root
and produce a crop of dissension and
subjects for discussion for many a
long winter evening. This Sunday
business seems to be a source of
much worriment to some good people
they want to know which day the
Creator rested and which day he
wants us to rest and fall down be
fore him in adoration. They believe,
and rightly that God Almight should
have his choice in days for us to wor
ship him so long as the Devil has us
the other six, and we have noticed
that some of those who worked hard
est for God on Sunday, worked hard
est for the Devil the other six days
to keep the question equalled. "
Now we hope these people may be
able to put forth some good seed that
shall bear much fruit regardless of
the day and the mere name of their
sect. What a shame to our civiliza
tion that our young men will walk by
this tabernacle of thought, this tem
ple of learning consecrated to the
saving of souls and teaching the way
to a higher nobler life, what a shame
that they will not stop and listen to

How a Queen Proposed.
Reigning queens, by the rules of et
iquette, must make the proposal of
marriage to their consorts elect. As
a young woman the late Queen of
England was embarassed at the pros
pect of proposing to Prince Albert.
This is how she arranged matters:
She summoned Albert to her boudoir,
where he found her alone. After some
desultory talk due to her shyness, she
suddenly said:
"Could you forsake your country for
me?"
The prince answered by clasping
her in his arms.

will pass on Into the darkness of their
own ignorance.
Ah, young man open wide the doors

Pepsikola Tablets Do Cure j
Indigestion.
Possibly you may think our only
reason for praising these tablets is
because of the small profit we make
on each 25 cent box, but how little
satisfaction there would be in rec
ommending a remedy that would dis
appoint you and thereby lose your
trade.
This thing of selling a worthless ar
ticle is mighty poor business policy.
Square dealing always pays best and
when we tell you what Pepsikola tab
lets will do, our confidence Is based
on our own personal experience In
selling them here in Oregon City year
after year.
There Isn't a' remedy in this store
that we recommend more highly and
unless Pepsikola tablets really do what
we claim for them how utterly useless
our efforts would be.
For coated tongue, sour stomach,
wind belching, fullness after eating,
heart burn, sleeplessness, weakened
energy, and other symptoms of indi
gestion we recommend them with
every confidence and always refund
the 25c should you fail to receive the
benefits expected.

LOVELY WOMAN!
Strange But True.
It is easier for a girl In a beautiful
white gown to stand on a palm-banked
stage on commencement day and thrill
a vast audience with eloquent words
about the nobility and courage that
meet life' boldly, than it Is for her, on
a sultry summer afternoon, to spend
gracefully and calmly over a red-hot
stove and help her mother get lunch
ready.
Woman's Rights.
While it Is impracticable to consider
the law In detail, generalizing it may
be said that woman now possesses (1)
complete control of her person and of
her property, real and personal; (2)
freedom to enter Into contracts; CJ)
the right to sue for Injuries to her
character, person or property; (4)
the joint custody of her children,
though this is a recent development
and it must be admitted that the ex
cepted states far outnumber those
where the rule is In force; (5) in four
states the right of equal suffrage and
In twenty-two others and two terrl-!
torles a restricted right, applicable ;
only to school affairs. ;
PUSH AND PUBLICITY.
Push has made American men what
they are today. It Is the groat Ameri
can spirit condensed Into a mouosyl
lable. Hand In hand with push goes
publicity as a motive power toward
success. Tlio two are so close (lint. It
Is difficult to know them apart. The
'man of push Is a champion of public
ity. If he has a good thing ho wishes
the public to know nUmt It, if he has
goods to sell there must be push Hud
publicity if he would convert those
goods Into Income What Is the use
of having the goods to sell If no one
knows of them How are the buyers
to be found? Push and publicity will
provide the articles to be sold and the
persons to buy them. Push and pub
licity are the antidotes of stagnation
and starvation. Louisville Courier
Journal. A TRAGIC FINISH.
A watchman's neglect permitted a
leak In the great North Sea dyke,
w hich a child's linger could have stop
ped, to become a ruinous break, devest
ing an entire province of Holland, hi
like maimer Kenneth Mclver, of
Vanceboro, Me,, permitted a little cold
to go unnoticed until a tragic finish
was only averted by Dr. King's New

Electric Bitters." say Mrs. K. H.
Firunson. of Dublin, On. Surely there's
nothing else keeps the old as young

ELECTRIC LIGHT
AND POWER
A talk with us will convince you that ELEC
TRIC LIGHT is the only light you can afford
to use in your Jhome, or put in the house you
are building. Your property will rent more
readily, will pay a higher income on the invest
ment and attract a better class of tenants
IF IT IS EQUIPPED WITH EI ECTRIC
LIGHT.
ELECTRIC POWER never tires. It serves
faithfully, never complains. Requires little or no
space, less care. Absolute adaptation to all con
ditions. Expense starts and stops at your
command.
The use of ELECTRIC POWER means: Great
saving in machinery and initial cost of installa
tion of plant, high ECONOMY in cost of oper
ation, and an INTENSIFIED PRODUCTION
possible only where ELECTRICITY is used.
Advantages in the cost of producing power in
Oregon City, in comparison with other cities
of the country, enables us to make terms ex
ceptionally favorable to manufacturers, and to
furnish unequalled service at lowest rates.
