BALTIMORE CONVENTION CITY.
In the days "befo' th' wan" Balti
more was the favorite national con
vention city of the Democrats. In
that city Jackson was nominated in
1832, Polk in 1844, Cass in 1848, Pierce
in 1858, and both Douglas and Breack
.enridge in 1860, a fateful year for the
Democracy.
From 1860 the Democrats avoided
Baltimore as a gathering place until
1872, when Horace Greely was made
the standard bearer and led in a cam
paign resulting in his crushing de
feat and ultimate death from a broken
heart. Of the nine conventions held
at Baltimore the candidates of only
four were successful at the polls.
For many years following the war
the Democrats had looked upon Balti
more as a "Jonah" but a certified
$100,000 check in the year of grace
1912 appears to have dissipated all
fears.
Baltimore is an ideal convention
city. It has splendid hotels and res
taurants, unexcelled transportation
facilities, well lighted, well paved and
clean streets and a citizenship unsur
passed in hospitality anywhere on the
globe.
THE HERO OF PEACE.
"He was a splendid fire-fighter and
he died a hero in the discharge of his
duty."
Such is the tribute paid by Police
Commissioner Waldo of New York tp
Battalion Chief Walsh, who was killed
in the Equitable building fire.
It is a noteworthy character of fire
department officers not only in New
York, but in other cities not to stand
idly by and direct their men where
to go, but to lead them in the dis-
charge of their perilous duties.

defence of our lives and property are

when free from regulation, it is within their power by dis-,
crimination either to KILL OR MAKK ALIVE.
It has only been after legislative regulation and judicial
contests thereupon that much progress has been made in clearing up
the questions that have been raised in connection with the public du
ties and responsibilities of carriers.
One of the most effective means of eliminating fraudulent and in
defensible practices resulting in discriminations and other violations
of the act to regulate commerce is the LIGHT OF PUBLICITY,
the power to require disclosure.
The holding company is often a MASK OR SHIELD through
which some artists of the legal profession have found a way to ac
complish indirectly that which under the law could not be directly
effected. This device is successful only when the form is permitted
to encloud the substance.

15 CENT FARE TO PORTLAND ASKED
(Continued from page 1)
had obtained a renewal of its Oregon
City franchise next fall.
.John F. Jennings declared that the
company had raised the rates to his
station twice within the last six years.
Prior to the acquisition of the line by
the present corporation, the commu
tation rate between Jennings Lodge
and Portland was 11 cents with a 5
cent fare to Oregon City, The station
was moved to conform with the es
tablishment of the main street 100
yards distant and the rate to Oregon
City immediately went up to 10 cents
and the Portland rate was not lower
ed. Up to the time the State Rail
road Commission made its recent or
der the Jennings Lodge people en
Joyed a commutation rate of 7 cents
to Oregon City, and since this rate
was abolished most of the Jennings
Lodge people traveling to and from
Oregon City get on and off at Mel
drum and walk the short distance re
maining to Jennings Lodge.
Mr. Jennings said the commutation
rate to Portland was later increased
to 12 1-2 cents and now it is 13 cents.
The Railroad Commission reduced the
cash fare to Portland 5 cents and
increased the commutation rate,
though the residents of Jennings
Lodge would rather have had the cash
fare increased than the commutation
rate lowered. Mr. Jennings pointed
out that the distance from Portland
to Jennings Lodge is 10.675 miles, for
which i fare of 15 cents is charged,
while the distance to Oregon City is
only a trifle more than three miles,
yet the interurban company demands
10 cents to this point.
"Oregon City is the natural place
for us to trade," declared Mr. Jen
nings, "and I know that with a cash
fare of 5 cents there would be $5
spent here where there is $1 now."
B. T. McBain explained that Glad
stone formerly had a commutation
rate of 3 cents from Oregon City and
later a 4 1-2 cent fare, which could
be obtained by the purchase of a 50
ride book. The traction company dis
continued the use of these books, and
now the fare to Oregon City is 5 cents,
with no commutation rate and the
fare to Portland is 20 cents, which is
the same rate as Gladstone had before
the Railroad Commission changed the
passenger tariff. Mr. McBain said
that the company could well afford
to give Oregon City a round trip rate
of 25 cents and a single trip rate of.
15 cents to Portland by double track
ing its line. He referred to the fact
that the company formerly maintained
an excursion fare on Sundays of 25
cents and was compelled to run long
trains to carry the crowds. He be
lieved the Southern end of the line
was being discriminated against.
The Live Wires committee, consist
ing of M. D. Latourette, H. E. Cross,
B. T. McBain, E. E. Brodie and W.
A. Shewman will represent Oregon
City and Gladstone at the conferensce
with the P. R., L. & P. Company of
ficials; John F. Jennings and P. D.
Newell will go from Jennings Lodge,
and W. A. Hedges and S. L. Stevens
will appear for Canemah.

The interest in the revival at the
Baptist church continues unabated.
Sunday was the fourth Sunday of the
campaign and many persons were
turned away from the church Sunday
evening owing to the fact that there
was not even standing room. Mr.
Evans is a remarkable speaker from
the standpoint of simplicity of utter
ance, intensity of purpose and drama
tic power. He holds the closest at
tention of his audience. Mr. Hay
worth, the pastor, is delighted with
the excellent results of the campaign.
About fifty additions by baptism will
be made to the church roll and a large
number by experience and letter. The
Baptist church of this city i3 now one
of the largest on the Coast, having
exceeded the five hundred mark in
point of members.
Mr. Evans will continue the ser
vices until Wednesday evening. The
pastor will baptize candidates every
evening.
E
TO BE FLAG STATION
Feeling that the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company has not been giv
ing them a square deal, citizens of
Parkplace met at Abernathy Grange
hall and appointed a committee to
confer with the railway officials rela
tive to giving Parkplace a flag sta
tion, stopping all local passenger
trains there, and to allow Parkplace
a freight station.
J. T. Apperson, Hugh Hall and C.
H. Dauchy, Jr., were appointed on the
committee, and they will communi
cate with General Superintendent
Campbell of the Southern Pacific line
to arrange a time and place for a conference.-
It was also suggested to the
committee that it ask the railroad
officials to change -the name of the
'station from Paper Mills station, as it
is now known, to Parkplace.
At the meeting it was reported that
enough money is being paid to the
O. W. P. line on local freight ship
ments each year to construct a freight
depot, because of lack of proper facilities.
The Whale'g Appetite.
A whale's appetite is phenomenal.
His chief diet cousists of-jellyfish. He
has simly to open his mouth and pad
dle along leisurely in order to take in
jellyfish by the wagon load. Such is
the method adopted by the whalebone
whale. The sperm whale, on the con
trary, captures hugs squids weighing
often several tons. Like his brother
the whalebone whale, he must be con
stantly on the lookout for food; other
wise he would starve. As many as
fourteen seals have been taken from a
thirty foot "killer."

Roger Webb was the last to finish his
dinner, and he was just leaving the
mess house when Boss Clintock gal
loped up to the door and Intercepted
him.
"Say, Webb, have the others goner"
"Yes; they are just rounding the last
gate," said Roger, pointing to a half
dozen rapidly diminishing horsemen.
"Anything I can do?"
"No yes, of course yon can. I've
been called up to North Fork to iden
tify a bunch of cattle, and I've just
had a phone ' from Belford that bis
kid's coming over for a visit. It's thir
ty miles from Belford's place over here
and a tiresome ride. He wants me to
meet Teddy on the other side of Black
pass or send a trusty man. I'll have to
send you."
' "Very well," returned Roger. "Shall
I start now?" .
"You better go right off and be sure
and get on the other side of the pass,
for the kid's afraid to come through in
the dark."
"I'll be there," assured Roger, and
he went away to saddle his horse.
Roger whistled and Buckskin pound
ed the turf lightly as they covered mile
after mile of the twenty that lay be
tween the Lone Bull ranch and the far
ther entrance to Black pass.
Now, when Roger' and Buckskin
threaded their way down its narrow,
winding trail the sun bad passed over
the rocky summits of the pass, and a
deep twilight was drawing down. As
he went out at the other end he looked
expectantly around the sunlit plain
for a glimpse of Teddy Belford, but
the lad was nowhere in sight.
"I suppose his dad has told bim to
wait here at the pass for me. and, as
HE URGED BUCKSKIN FORWARD.
he Isn't here, I believe I'll nose around
and have a look at that place Clintock
was telling me about."
With a last glance along the trail
ahead Roger turned to the right and
followed directions be had received
from the boss of the Lone Bull. In an
hour be had found the ranch be was
looking for, had a long talk with its
owner and taken a hasty survey of the
premises. He was favorably impress
ed with the place and believed it would
make a good opening for bim; also, it
was well within the limit he had set
for expenditure. He decided to talk it
over with Clintock before closing a
deal.
He was halfway back to the south
entrance to Black pass before he re
membered Belford's kid. He glanced
around at the gray plain fast losing its
outlines in the gathering dusk and
smote bis thigh sharply
"Great horn! If I haven't forgotten
the kid! I wonder" He spurred
Buckskin into a run without complet
ing his sentence.
Long before hp reached the pass he
was straining his eyes for a glimpse of
a horse and rider waiting for him. But
he saw nothing, and when he finally
pulled to a breathless standstill there
he appeared to be all alone in the
gloom.
"I don't believe he's arrived yet," he
said uneasily. "If be was afraid of
the pass he would be sure to wait for
me."
Roger waited anxiously, listening for
the faintest sound that might presage
the approach of Teddy Belford. He
rebuked himself bitterly for his neglect
of duty for running off to nttend to
his own affairs when he bad assured
Mr. Clintock that he would safely es
cord Teddy through Black pass to the
Lone Bull ranch. All at once dark
ness fell completely, and there were
only the distant stars winking down
out of a dim blue sky.
Roger swore softly and turned Buck
skin into the pass. He rode until hp
came to the middle of the pit of velvet
blackness and listened. Far ahead of
him he thought he heard a faint sound
Again it came a broken whistle. He
urged Buckskin forward until he heard
plainly the tremulously whistled notes
of "I'm Afraid to Go Home In the
Dark."
"The doggoned. plucky little kid!"
ejaculated Roger thankfully, and then
be lee out his voice until the pass M
choed.
"Hello there! That you. Teddy Bel
ford?" s
"Yes!" came back a shaking vofr-e.
"Wait for me. Teddy. I'll be thore
In a minute."
In a few seconds he brought Buck
skin to a scrambling bait "Where are
you. Teddy?" be asked.
"Right here," was a low toned reply
close beside him. "That isn't Mr.
Clintock. is it?"
"No. I'm Roger Webb. Mr. Clin
tock was called to North Fork and
Rent me instead. I was to wait on the
other side of the pass for you, but I
thought there was time enough to look
at a piece of property I was interested
in."
When they were riding slowly for
ward, allowing the horses to pick their
way along the trail. Roger turned his
head and resumed conversation with
his unseen companion.
"You're afraid of this place, aren't
you, Teddy?"
There was a little hesitation before
the answer, came curtly:
"Yes."
"1 don't blame you. Were you whis
tling 'I'm Afraid to Go Home In the
Dark' to keep up your spirits V
"Yes: to shame myself for being
afraid," was Teddy's crisp reply.
Roger laughed with unconcealed ad
miration. "You're a plucky kid." he
remarked.
Teddy Belford did not answer, and
Roger concluded that he was ashamed
of what might have been termed a dis
play of cowardice. He had no idea of
how old Teddy Belford might be or
whether he was large or smalL So far
his companion was merely a voice.
"How old are you, Teddy?" he asked
suddenly.
No answer.
"How old are you, Teddy, lad?" re
peated Roger good humoredly, not
that he cared greatly, but the low, con
tralto voice of Belford's kid interested
him without his knowing exactly why.
It sent a thrill of paternal tenderness
through his being. At least he thought
It was paternal.
"I don't believe Mr. Clintock would
have sent you to meet me if he had
known how how impertinent you
were going to be," said Teddy Belford
calmly.
"Impertinent wow!" Roger was
plainly disgusted. "1 beg your pardon.
Mr. Teddy Belford." he ended sarcasti
cally. "Mr. Teddy Belford!" repeated Bel
ford's kid indignantly as they emerg
ed from the gloom of tbe pass into
the open plain where the trail lay
white under tbe rays of n rising moon.
Before Roger could turn around and
look at bis companion hp tiPHrd the
swish-sb of n quirt through i lie air and
Buckskin shot forward like rocket.
, "The little dev-devil!" panted Rog
er as he realized thr.t Mnckskin was
having things his own ni:'d way.
Mile after mil? they pounded, over
the dry grass, away frni the trail and
far to the east of the Lone I'.ull ranch.
Roger did not know wbsit had become
of Teddy P.elford. and he did not care.
He was aware th:it away off behind
somew"here there was a faint thudding
of hoofs.
Roger sawed away at Buckskin's ob
stinate mouth without result. He re
alized that the horse was growing
tired, and if the beast could escape
stepping into a prairie dog's hole or
did not stumble he might be brought
to reason before long. -
But Buckskin stumbled, and it hap
pened so suddenly that Roger was toss
ed over tbe animal's head and landed
surprised and dizzy on a Crumbling
sand hillock. For nn instant, he lay
there breathless and bruised watching
Buckskin's form waiting wearily near
by.
"You old skyrocket!" he breathed at
last
Then another horse loomed into the
moonlight, was tufned loose to nip at
the grass and a slender form hurried
to Roger Webb's side and knelt down
with a cool hand on his forehead.
Roger saw that "the newcomer wore
skirts, and his dizziness increased.
"Oh. Mr. Webb, I am so sorry! I do
hope you're not hurt!" cried the girl
in the voice of Belford's kid.
"I'm all right," said the dazed cow
boy, struggling to a sitting posture.
"But where did you come from?"
"Why, I was following you through
Black pass, you know, and you were
rather impertinent. You know you
were. You called me Teddy and kid
and all that! But I should not have
struck your horse. I am so ashamed,
and I beg your pardon," she ended,
with a dangerous quaver in her voice.
"Are you Teddy Belford?" demanded
Roger.
"Yes; Theodora Belford My friends
call me. Teddy. Father and Boss Clin
tock call me kid. I don't mind from
them," she concluded.
"Of course not," said the chagrined
Roger. "Only, you see. nobody told
me you were a girl and I thought you
were a boy! The apologies are on my
side."
"Well, we've got a whole lifetime to
apologize to each other in," laughed
Teddy Belford as she leaped into her
saddle unassisted. "But let's not waste
any time over that. I really think we
are quits. Mr. Webb. I am afraid to
think what a narrow escape you had.
It would have been my fault if"
"I wouldn't have missed it for any
thing." said Roger sincerely, thinking
of her cool hand on his forehead.
"We will be late for supper." said
Teddy hurriedly.
As they rode home through the moon
light Roger decided that he would buy
the ranch next to Belford's place. "It
will be handy for her to run over and
see her folks after we are married,"
he said to himself.
Of this decision, of course, Teddy
Relford knew nothing until after they
became engaged.
Human Hitching Post.
Arriving in his office the other morn
ing, a suburban Elk found the following
verse carefully pasted on the front of
his roll top desk:
I stood on the curb at midnight.
When I could hardly Bee,
And a man stepped from his wagon
And tied his horse to me.
There was no signature, but the
young man was not dense. He knew
the rime had reference to an incident
in which he involuntarily played a
prominent part when he was trying to
get home after a' long evening at his
favorite club. New York Herald.

CITY ENGINEER'S WORK APPROVED
(Continued from page 1) --
ment of work done in each block and
intersection, from there he makes his
monthly estimates due the contrac
tors. In the previous administration the
monthly estimate for contractors wer
handed in to the council showing the
work done the previous month only.
The new system of monthly estimates
at the end of each month show not
only the work done that month, but
all the work previously done and al
lowed for. This system is a check
upon the possibility of allowing twice
for the same material or allowing too
much over the total.
As a matter of fact, owing to the
manner of presenting the estimates
of work done previous to the new sys
tem of the past year.
Some material has been allowed
contractors more than had been used
or called for and to find this, required
the search of the warrants in the re
corder's office at the cost of consid
erable lime and work as there was
nothing in the office to show . why
these quantities had been allowed.
-We find that a printed form of daily
reports is filed away of all work done
by the different contractors, showing
nuinber of men at work, where they
are, and what kind of work is being
done.
This daily report is entered into a
big record book, gotten up by the
present engineer and entitled "In
spector's Daily Report."
Another large record book contains
the itemized statement of material
and the money paid contractors.
Another book contains stubbs and
particulars of all permits Issued for
sewer connection, to the public at
large. Also a book for permits issued
to citizens for streets and concrete
sidewalks.
There is an index book for all plans
filed away, also an engineer's payroll
time-book.
, The engineer payroll and contrac
tor's monthly estimates are made in
triplicate, one filed with the recorder,
one copy given the contractors and a
copy filed in the engineer's office.
Besides the general plans and pro
files of sewers, we also find a com
plete large detail of the sewers show
ing measurements to all Ys connec
tions, etc.
At present the engineering force
consists only of a city engineer and
one rodman.
The work on hand left to be finished
can be looked after and attended to
by this force, and we think it is only
a question of a few days when Four
teenth street and Sewer District No.
7 will be finished, which will leave
only Monroe street to be attended to,
this should not require the entire time
of a city engineer and a city engineer
could be paid for the time he actually
gives the city. .

There is nothing that broadens and
cultivates the mind like travel, and
it is not all persons who have the
opportunity to travel, so the Satur
day Club of the Congregational
church in connection with the Boy
Scouts has arranged a good substi
tute for Thursday evening. The Har
riman system has a magnificent col
lection of views, which' will be ex
higited. The views will be described
so that all may become familiar with
the scenic grandeur of the Columbia
