The following record of Mr. Tongue
during his first jaind present term
tells a simple story of success. He
lost only 17 cases out of over 630 Cir
cuit Court cases ia the different coun
ties, a few of which are still pending:
he has won every criminal case tried
in the Supreme Court. The number
of cases above set forth does not in:
elude the hundreds of Justice or Po
lice court cases simply the Circuit
and Supreme court cases; those of im
portance consisting of murder, burg
lary, highway robbery, rape, etc., the
list including six murder cases 5 con
victions one acquittal.
We know that Mr. Tongue will hon
estly, vigorously, faithfully and impar
tially perform the official duties with
out fear or favor and accord to every
individual, irrespective of party, pol
itics or personality, a square deal un
der the law, keepng always uppermost
in his mind the interests of the tax
payers, and that he will protect the in
nocent, as well as prosecute the guil
ty; that he will require every case to
stand upon its own merits and pre
vent private cases from being tred at
public expense; that he cannot be
clubbed, slandered bluffed or driven
to squander the taxpayers' money on
useless, frivolous or malicious pros
ecutions; We, therefore, respectfully submit
that Mr. Tongue merits reelection, and
should be supported by the voter3 of
the Fifth Judicial District

One of the largest and most enthus
iastic meetings ever held by Warner
Grange was that at New Era Satur
day. More than 100 members were
in attendance. The sentiment of the
grage almost was unanimous against
the bonding system for building
roads. Captain J. T. Apperson spoke
on agriculture and declared that grow
ing vegetables- was more profitable
than growing the usual farm prod
ucts. C. T. Dickinson, of Oswego,
state deputy and Miss Hazel Paquet,
of Evening Star Grange, of Multnom
ah County, also spoke. A. J. Lewis,
formerly fruit inspector gave an in
teresting lecture on tree spraying.
Mrs. F. J. Meindl, of Portland, spoke
of equal suffrage.

YOUNG MAN LEADS N AMERICA
Abroad ths Leading Golfers Are Men In
Their Pol-tie's, While on This Side of
the Atlantic' the Best Players Are
Young Men.
The advance of John J. McDermott.
open champion of the United States,
on the British title at Muirfield. Scot
land, will afford one of the most strik
ing contrasts between golf in this
country and Great Britain in that
youth leads in the United States, while
age Is at the forefront abroad.
It has been suggested that If we
were to select the twenty leading ama
teurs on this side of the big pond
not more than five of tbem would be
men who have passed the thirty-five-year-old
mark. Chick Evans, the Chi
cago marvel, the first American ama
teur to win a big event open to pro
fessionals, left the Northwestern uni
versity when he was a junior to enter
business. He is generally regarded as
America's most representative golfer.
Albert Seckel, who won the western
amateur championship last year, Is a
student at Princeton. Henry Heyburn.
the Pennsylvania state champion, is
an undergraduate at the University
of Pennsylvania.
Jerome D. Travers, the metropolitan
and New Jersey state title holder, is
still In the twenties. All the leading
players in Chicago, a city famed for
its big players, are men who are either
In college or have but recently gradu
ated. Prominent among them, in ad
dition to Evans and Secke, are Mason
Phelps, a former western champion;
Warren K. Wood, national runner up in
1910; D. E. Sawyer and Paul and
Robert E. Hunter. The same Is true
of the New York players. Of the
older players there are only Wa Iter J.
Travis, Findlay Douglas and John M.
Ward.
Our present national open champion.
John McDermott.the Philadelphia boy
who is the professional at the Country
club at Atlantic City, is only twenty
two years old.
Abroad the leading golfers, both am
ateur and professional, are men In the
forties. Harold Hilton, the interna
tional champion, is past forty, as is
John Ball. These two men have held
the British amateur championship be
tween them for years. The leading
professionals, Harry Varden, James
Braid, Taylor. Duncan and other big
"pros,"' are approaching the half cen

On: e the idea entered his mind. Rose
went to Professor George Meihling of
the Olympic club of San Francisco and
suggested That he would like, a few

"Sure," answered Meihling. - "Come

Meihling explained a few of the holds
and then proceeded to demonstrate
them In person. That was where the

trouble commenced. Meihling, a lilllpu
tian compared to the giant Rose, discov
ered that he couldn't execute the holds
on the monster. His arms were not long
enough to reach around Rose's body,
and, all in all, It was a miserable fail
ure. So Meihling, full of resources, did
the next best thing. He stood at one
side and explained the holds in theory.
If not la practice.
"The worst about the whole thing,"
was the comment of the Instructor, "is
that when I am on the floor with Rose
on the aggressive the referee can't
even see me. much less figure out
whether Rose Is entitled to a fall."

Gamblers.
It is said that George IV lost 800.
000 at cards before he saw his twenty
first birthday, and one is not surprised
when one reads the gambling chroni
cles of the time in wbirh he lived. At
Almack's. we are told, it was quite a
common thing to stake 5,00 on a sin
gle card at faro and for 100.000 to be
won and lost in a night. Of the mad
gambling at White's club many re
markable stories are told such as how
one player lost his entire fortune of
150.000 at. a sitting and when the
last card fell against, him produced a
pistol and before a hand could be
raised to prevent him put a bullet
into his brain. Londou Answers.
A Man of Memory.
Sir Thomas Lawrence, who afterward
became president of the British Royal
academy, wns not only one of the
greatest of English portrait painters,
but was in addition the possessor of a
marvelous memory. His father was
the landlord of the Bear inn, DVvizes.
which was on the coach road to Bath,
and by the time "little Tommy" was
five years old" he would say to the la
dies and gentlemen who stopped for
their meals at his inn: "Here's my son.
Will you have him recite from the po
ets or take your portraits?" This was
no idle boast, for he could do either
with equal facility, and could roll off
reams of Shakespeare. Milton and Pope

Picture In Disguise,
Many and strange have been the vi
cissitudes of some of the world's great
est pictures, and a fine painting which
is owned in England has an interest
ing history. This remarkable picture,
which for some years consisted of a
painting of flowers, was pronounced by
an art dealer to be merely a mask for
some other picture, and on his reviv
ing permission he gradually cleaned
off the flowers, discovering underneath
a very fine portrait of Charles I. by
Van Dyck. It is supposed that the por
trait was thus disguised in order to
save it from destruction by the Round
beads at the time of the- commop
wealth. London Standard.

The use of tobacco is universal in the

The buying movement of potatoes
for the San Francisco market has sud
denly ceased in the local territory.
Bids of the.. San Francisco buyers
have been quickly reduced from $2
per cental at country shipping points
to $1.75 to $1.85. Some are not an
xious to take hold of extra fancy ev
en at the lower figure.
According to the advice received
bygone leading shipper from San Fran
cisco fifty car loads of Oregon pota
toes are now on the trade unsold
there. While this incident was not
mentioned in the messages "to other
dealers, - all buyers quickly reduced
their prices.
There remains, however, a very
good demand from the southwest and
additional business is passing with
Arizona. For this account shippers
are bidding from $1.50 to $1.60 per
cental in the Willamette valley r and
from $1.25 to $1.35 at eastern Oregon
points. -
Only one or two firms are now in
the buying field for potatoes so far
as outside account is concerned. Oth
ers have called in their buyers and
are awaiting development before
again entering. Owing tt th ex
treme strength . that the market has
shown here recently and the high
prices that have ben in effect, it is
not likely that farmers will begin to
offer more freely for a few days at
least.

PLAN TO DIVIDE
(Continued from page 1)
the southern boundry of the county.
He sad that the area contained 5,000
people, property which was assessed
at $5,500,000 and that it at the pres
ent did not receive one-hundreth of
the county revenues when it was by
right - entitled to at least one-ihird
if not nearly a half.
J. E. Gibson, of Boring, and H. S.
Barclay, of Estacada, spoke at some
length upon the proposition. It was
the unanimous sentiment to go ahead
with the plan of the campaign and
upon motion of Mayor Reed it was
decided to send a committee to the
Logan, Springwater, Currinsville, Gar
field, Viola and other nearby towns
to make speeches and outline the ob
jects of organizing" a new county.
Representatives of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company
were present at the meeting, in the
persons of W. T, Buchanan, public
ity agent; J. E. Werlein and R. M.
Townsend. Mr. Buchanan said that
the company did not take a position
in the matter, that it could not mor
ally and would not. He asserted that
it was a matter purely for the citi
zens to decide and it was a local is
sue in which the company could not
consistently take part.

uor to minors in Recorder Stipp's
