GOLD AND FOOD PRICES
Director of the Mint Roberts says
the increased production of gold has
some bearing on the cost of living.
But that the world-wide advance in
food products is not likely to be ma
terially reduced soon. Much of the
new gold mined is absorbed by coun
tries accumulating a reserve of this
metal for the first time, and there
fore is not in circulation.
A common error in Mr. Roberts'
opinion, is to compare the quotations
of the 1896 depression with that of
other periods. He considers the
prices now obtained by farmers more
of a legitimate average. Farmers
have been raised from poverty ip
prosperity, and their land values
have Increased to correspond. Food
prices are likely to decline somewhat
but no one has succeeded in identi
fying them with any single cause like
gold production or a protective tariff.
It is remarked that though men
may come and men may go the gov
ernment runs right along. Rather
say that men will come and men must
go. Nature has never provided for
an Indispensable Individual.

ridge biting this would have been
called a sign of war. Perhaps it
means now that the cost of living is
to be reduced or defied.
Any sort of popgun tarifl bill can
be put through the Democratic House

"GEORGE BGNHAG ONLY
REAL AMATEUR ATHLETE"
Statement Made by One Familiar With
Affaire In Highest Athletic Circle
That Best Men Are Professionals.
"George Bonhag, the champion mid
dle distance runner, is the only athlete
of exceptional ability in either of the
big New York clubs who is a bona
fide amateur." That was the substance
of a statement made recently in Balti
more by a man who has been promi
nently connected with one of the big
metropolitan clubs for years and who
has the doings of the crack athletes of
the country for years at his finger tips.
In speaking of the amateur standing
of some of the men who have been
prominent in the athletic world for
years the person who made the state
ment mentioned above said that it
was not a secret that the men who
were the best performers had received
money for their work at different

times and that the Amateur Athletic
union officials were cognizant of the
fact, though unable to do anything
because of a lack of proof and an ever
readiness on the part of the men ac
cused to produce evidence of their in
nocence when charges of a professional
nature were brought - t
It was his opinion that there is not a
.man around New York at present en
gaged in championship athletic -contests
who at one time or another in his
career has not been guilty of profes
sionalism in its real sense.
It was said of Bonhag in the course
of the discussion that even when tak
ing trips to compete in a meet he in
variably would accept not a cent more
than his bare expenses, something that
few others have done. It was stated
that there had been instances when
Bonhag had been offered sums above
his actual expenses if he would com
pete in certain meets, but that the
great distance runner had always re
fused to do the least thing that might
place him in jeopardy as far as his
amateur standing was concerned.

the next meeting of the Milwaukie
City Council giving the Southern PaJ

trifying its line which passes through
Milwaukie and crosses the Willamette
River at Oswego. This branch of the
Southern Pacific Company is known
as the Beaverton cut-off. It leaves the
main East Side line just south of
Willsburg and passes through the
center of Milwaukie. It is promised
Milwaukie that more stations will be
established inside the city -lmits and
cars will be run oftener than the preo
ent steam cars, but how often cars
will be operated is not yet announced
The movement to electrify the Mil-waukie-Beaverton

electrified it will give Milwaukie an

of the most famous book collectors of
America are to be found occupying
places of honor on the shelves exquisite
examples of this young woman's book

among bibliographers, she has bound
both modern books and incunabula.
Among the latfer are books printed by
Richard Pinsoh, Lichtenberg and Wil

had the pleasure of binding for Mr.
Morgan Caxton's "Siege of Troy," 1472,
the first book printed In English and
the only perfect copy in existence. It

BALL TEAM URGED
TO TRY FOR AUTO
(Continued from page 1)
amabile will almost be an assured fact.
The new Ford will be awarded to the
entrant having the most votes by
J.une 5th and every citizen in the
city would join the ball team in their
efforts to . land the prize. The auto
represents $785 cash, and no doubt
the machine will be immediately sold
for over $750, which would be ample
to outfit -the entire team with the best
of everything. The team deserves
and needs the support of the people
of this city and this plan would be
a unique way for the people to show
their apreciation of the team by sup
porting its candidate in this mighty
interesting race. $750 would really be
more than would be needed to prop
erly equip the team but the balance
of that sum could be used In improv
ing the ball grounds. If the boys
want to put up a presentable appear-
ancp tbia season, this nnnnrtnnitv tr&
obtain a new, complete outfit merits
consideration. With the backing of
each member of the team, it would
only be a matter of a few days till
the team's candidate would be able
to make a creditable showing in the
standing of the candidates.
Just nine more days in which to
win the $15 merchandise certificate
nn fVio T T .ovitt ctnrol Tfva-r-v Hatr
now counts, but Saturday will be the
"red letter" day of the present spec
ial contest when the ' candidate poll
ing the most votes will receive 2,000
free votes. Each of the six leaders
in the race are determined to win the
prize th 30th and" intpr-esting deve
lopments are promised in the course
of the next few days. Miss McCord
and Sheahan already have one vic
tory to their credit .which apparent
ly makes them all the more anxious
to annex another prize. Wilson and
Brown are also out to win this time,
and the result is very uncertain. Next
Saturday, the free vote day, is sure
to bring out a bunch of "reserve bal1
lots" as the 2,000 free votes are desir
ed by every entrant.
Every day now sees more new auto
mobile sappearing on the street whfch
only intensifies the desire cf every
entrant In the race to "make good"
and become the happy owner of a
Ford, now waiting a claimant at the
Elliott garage.
