LAW PROVIDES
NO STOP-OVER

er under the law, I am powerless to
do any more."
That the manager of the coming
show will be tickled to death to be
arrested, as long as his show is not
molested, is the general opinion ef
those whose interest in the casa has
been aroused. And they believe he
will readily put up bail, and then go
back and watch his siow go on. In
cidentally it is pointed ou.t tliat if the
manager gets out of lown before the
performance starts, the sheriff, no
matter how earnest his intentions,
may have some difficulty in arresting
him. Bets are now being freely made
that the circus will, show, and odds
of eight to five are being offsred
against those wao are willing to take
the ministers' side as a sporting prop
osition. Preparations for the show are con
tinuing unabated; and the ministers
are also continuing their fight to pre
vent it. Not meeting the success
with their petitions to Governor West
th.it they had expected, one of them
called Attorney General Crawford up
at Sfclem on the telephone and asked
him to give an opinion as to whether
the performance would be a violation
of the law. Mr. Crawford is report
ed to have replied that his office was
not designed to render opinions to
any put state, county or city officials,
and that he could not answer the
ministers.
The ministers have prepared a let
ter to Governor West, setting the
case as they see it before him, and
asking him to procure an opinion
from the attorney general.
COAST MITES JOIN
TO SHOW RESOURCE
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30. A new
slogan for the development of the Pa
cific coast agricultural interests has
been announced by the management
of the California Land Show which
is to be given in San Francisco, Octo
ber 11 to 25. It strikes the keynote
of the aims and purposes of the puhj-.
lie bodies and development organiza
tions, the goal of increased settle
ment of the rich areas by increased
population. Here it is:
"The landless man for the manless
land."
. The Land Show promises to be the
most complete and interesting exposi
tion for the information and encour
agement of the landless man "ever
given in the est. Under the patron
age of the San Francisco Real Estate
Board the plans for the Land Show
have been perfected and space has al
ready been allotted to 23 counties of
California and more than 80 other ex
hibitors. The show will be given in a mon
ster pavilion f of canvas at Eighth and
Market streets that will cover a total
floor space of 100,000 square feet. An
elaborate scheme of decoration has
been devised that will make the ex
hibition hall a fairyland of forest
greens as a setting for the widely di
versified exhibits of 1'acifc coast land
and land products.
OKLAHOMA RANCH
SHOW IS COMING
The Oklahoma Ranch Wild West
show is coming to Oregon City. The
date has been definitely fixed for Sun
day, August 3, and one of the most
picturesquely-interesting exhibitions
of its kind ever seen in this city may
be looked for with confidence. The
Oklahoma Ranch Wild West show, it
is announced, has all the best fea
tures of the most -famous among the
old-time border exhibitions .together
with many novelties that give it a
character distinctively its own. -
It illustrates the old life on the
plains with a wealth of detail find
with what is declared to be absolute
fidelity to historic truth; its Indians
are real Indians, and they hae been
selected from the great Sioux, Chey
enne, Arrapahoe and other tribes that
have figured so thrillingly in the
frontier history of the United States;
its old scouts and trappers have act
ually lived the lives which they re
produce in the arena: the stagecoach
drivers are among the last of that
recklessly-daring race of men who
crossed the plains and mountains,
with the reins in one hand and a six
shooter in the other; the cowboys are
the real chap-wearing, short-vamp,
high-heeled ropers of the cattle
ranges ; the cowgirls are to the man
ner born: the Mexicans have been re
cruited from the great Spanish
ranches in Central Mexico or from
the bull-rings of the oldest of rebellion-swept
Old Mexico; and even the
troupe of Cossacks, under Prince
Lucca, who contrast the riding of the
Russian Steppes with that of the Am
erican cattle ranch, are declared to
be among the most cleverly-daring of
their race.
Among the border dramas to be
given in the great arena when the
mg saow exniDits nere will be a thrill'
ing battle between Indians led by the
great Sioux Chief, Mighty Thunder,
and a company of scouts, frontiers
men and cowboys, under the direction
of Col. Zack Mulhall, the famous
ranchman and sureshct of Oklahoma.
.There will be a picturesque attack
upon tne oia stage coach by Mexican
bandits; Indians will illustrate the
old-time method of surrounding and
destroying an overland caravan, and
there will be other dramatic pictures
of former strenuous days on the
plains of the great W-est.

WIRELESS WAVES
; ....
The Electric Voice That Speaks
1 Through the Ether.
SETTING UP THE VIBRATIONS.
This Is the Work of the Oscillator,
Which Is the Electric Mouth, and Its
Message Is Caught by the Resonator,
Which Is the Ear of the Apparatus.
i .
More truly than any other tele
graphic device, the wonderful wire
less is a speaking voice. It makes
itself heard just as the human voice
does by a series of waves moving free
ly through space.
When I speak my voice is sent out
in undulations of varying length and
frequency through the air. When the
j wireless "speaks" its voice is conveyed
by undulations in the ether, which is
a more retined medium than air. carry
ing the waves of light and electricity
as the air carries those of sound.
The oscillator of the wireless is a
"mouth." sending out undulations in
the ether as our mouths send out un
dulations in the air, and the resona
tor of the wireless is an "ear." catch-'
ing the etherial waves as they im
pinge upon it as our ears catch the
atmospheric waves that strike them.
We see nothing wonderful in vocal
sounds, because nature gave us in our
needs one instrument to produce them,
and another to receive them. But she
left us to find out for ourselves bow
to produce and receive "'vocal" wave9
In the ether. Since we had to make
the instruments that deal with them
the etherie waves seem to us marvel
ous, although they are in principle no
more marvelous than the waves of air.
Man began to use electricity for con
veying intelligence by sending a cur
rent of it along a wire. He pressed a
button at one end of the line, and the
electric current passing along the wire
induced a corresponding motion in a
tapper at the other end. It was a
roundabout way of employing an agen
cy which we now know can be em
.ployed more simply and directly by
throwing away the wires and making
the electric waves "speak" straight
through the ether.
It is true that the language employed
does not consist of the words of any
spoken tongue, but it is one that can
be directly translated into any other
known to man, and so it is the most
universal of all languages.
Now. let us s$e bow it is employed.
First as to the electric "mouth." When
a charge of electricity is accumulated
on a "condenser" a similar but oppo
site charge is induced upon another
condenser placed near. The air be
tween them acts as an insulator be
cause it is a poor conductor of electric
ity. But when the charge attains a
certain degree of intensity the strain
upon the air becomes too great, and a
spark passes between the two con
densers, by which equilibrium is re
stored between them.
The passage of this spark produces,
so to speak, a shock ' in the ether,
which, like the explosion of a gun or
the utterance of a sound, sets up a se
ries of waves in the surrounding me
dium, which radiate away on all sides.
These waves in the ether produce the
electric "voice." If the sparks are reg
ulated In number and frequency the
consequent waves are similarly regu
lated. An instrument for the produc
tion of such waves is called an oscilla
tor or exciter. . It Is a kind of vocal ap
paratus for speaking through the ether
Instead of through the air.
But just as we should have no knowl
edge of the passage of sound waves If
we were not provided with ears to hear
them, so the electric waves would go
unregarded if we bad no apparatus for
receiving them.
The receiving apparatus is called a
resonator, or detector. It may be sit
uated hundreds of miles from the os
cillator, but it will catch the waves
as they undulate to it through the
ether, and it can be made to reproduce
them in an audible or legible form by
causing them to operate a Morse dot
and dash instrument, as in ordinary
telegraphy by wire.
But the electric voice and the elec
tric ear are in some ways more man
ageable than the human voice and ear.
We can only produce and hear air
waves of a limited range of frequency,
and we cannot do much to alter that
limit
' ' Sound waves vibrating less than
forty times a second or more than 40.
000 times are inaudible to us. But elec
tric waves varying in frequency from
a few hundred up to hundreds of mil
lions a second can be rendered per
ceptible, am. it is also possible so to
construct the instruments that they
will send forth and receive particular
rauges of waves and be mute and
deaf to others
Then the distance over which the
electric waves can be detected is al
most infinitely greater than that of
ordinary sound waves. It - takes a
stroug voiced, man to make his voice
audible across a little river, but, as
everybody knows, the electric cry of a
ship in distress can be electrically
heard from the middle of the Atlantic
ocean. And there are enthusiasts who
predict that before very long we shall
be able to speak by wireless to some
other planet, if only there is somebody
there to hear and understand us!

First Civilization.
It was in Egypt in all probability
that lhe condition we call civilization
had .its rise at a time when the very
idea of; writing was unknown to other
nations. An attempt is now being
made to show that the idea of the set
tled and more or less orderly and
peaceful social state to which we give
the name of civilization came from
Cbaldea or Babylonia, when that sort
of thing existed long before It was
'brought to Egypt But not as yet. Is
the theory clearly proved, though Its
advocates are making some pretty
strong points in its favor. So far, bow
ever, the land of Egypt holds the title.

AMiser's Hoard
- - .
. By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1913, by Associated. Lit
erary Press.
Moses Taylor must have been -well
over fifty years old when he arrived
In the Tillage of Noblestown and
brought his reputation as a miser with
him. He bought an old shack of a
house and paid spot cash for it and
then opened business.
Once a week Moses bought about
30 cents' worth of meat and groceries.
He was surly and had little to say to
men.
By and by Moses Taylor became a
fixture and belonged to the town. No
one cared whether he lived or died,
and it was generally believed that he
had no relatives. The Speculation
about him and his hoard never died
out. His wealth had been placed at
$26,000 in gold when he first came. If
it ever showed signs of reduction a
wire fence man would come along and
say:
"Gentlemen, don't yon" fool your
selves. Moses Taylor has at least a
hundred thousand in bright yellow
boys planted in his., cellar.'
Then there would be a higher respect
for - Moses, and the wire' fence man
would be looked upon as a sort of
hero.
The miser's shack was in a suburb.
The nearest house was forty rods'
away. While its inmates did not
neighbor with the old man, they got
into the habit of keeping track of him.
They looked for the smoke of his chim
ney in the morning and for the dis
appearance of his lean candle at an
early hour In the evening. It was a
sort of guardianship without meaning
to be. It had gone on for years and
years, when one November morning
there was no chimney smoke. Moses
had been seen the afternoon of the
day previous, and it was noticed that
he was very .feeble.
After a wait of several hours men
went over to the shack and pushed
open the door and found the old man
dead in his chair. As if he had plan
ned the thing to be a bit dramatical,
his stiff fingers held a two dollar bill.
The proper authorities were notified
and took charge. At the coroner's in
quest the doctors gave it as their opin
ion that the old man had died from
the want of proper food and care.
If a Fourth of July and a circus and
a presidential election had hit Nobles
town on the same day there would
have been no more excitement than
over the taking off of the old miser.
Exclamations and suggestions and
comments flew fast.
"He must have made a will," ob
served Rev. Barnes, "and I have hopes
that he left a legacy to my church to
pay off ihe mortgage."
The Rev. Barnes had collected sev
eral hundred dollars for the heathen,
but had never carried old Moses so
much as a cracker:
A schoolmaster expected at least
$500 because he had once bowed to the
old man.
A certain widow expected that much
or more because she had looked over
her gate at him as she passed.
One of the merchants had sold Moses
a pair of shoes at cost upon an occa
sion, and he moved about whispering:
"Those old misers never forget one
who has befriended them. I think I
can count on at least $4001 think I
can."
It had geen taken for a certainty
that Moses had no relatives; but land
alive, how they came tumbling over
each other as soon as the newspapers
got to work!
It took the full force of the sheriff
of the county to hold the people off
while the proper officials searched the
old shack.
A three room shack, almost without
furniture, is soon searched. Of course
the first thin'g was to find the will.
No will not even an old letter, not
even a memorandum. If will there was
or had been one of the two lawyers in j
town must have drawn it, as old Moses
had never left the town after his ar
rival. Neither of the lawyers had drawn a
will.
There was more talk about graft, and
one or two were beld enough to say
that the searchers had found the will
and pocketed it.
Now for the hoard. It was estimat
ed by the villagers at $150,000 and by
the relatives at $250,000. Six or sevei
fisticuff fights took place before the
crowd compromised on $200,000.
No gold! No greenbacks!
"But there must be!" yelled the out
siders. "We have made a careful search and
found only the $2 he had in his hand
when he died."
"It must be hidden in the walls."
"Then come and find it."
Not a man got into that house with
out being thumped, and not a man got
out until thumped some more. The
searchers were searched, and then the
shack was torn limb from limb, so to
say. Not a dollar not a shilling not
even a copper penny!
"But where has it gone?" was de
manded. The answer didn't come then, but a
year, later, when a stranger visited No
blestown who had known Moses Taylor
for years and years. Moses had about
$800, cash after buying the shack. He
had lived on the sum all the long years,
and the $2 was the last of it. It
was likely that he hadn't had a decent
meal in all that time. When the ex
planation was made everybody said:
"Oh, that was the way of it eh?
Well, he ought to have been kicked for
playing us a dirty trick!"
And that's poor human nature!
EMOTIONS OF ANGER.
Give Them a Little Play Rather Than
Bottle Them Up Tightly.
There are a few universal habits In
the human race which have strange
primitive origins, and there are some
which are universal because they have
a physiological stimulus, and one of
these latter is in the habit that a little
child often has of stamping its feet
when angry. Exactly the same thing
occurs when a man, while he is angry,
brings down his fist on the ta"ble. ; In
both cases it is due to lack ofervous
control. .
The -nervous svstem Is. a. unit and
most of the emotions of anger come
from a sudden thwarting of a calculat
ed nervous plan. Thus if we are
about to sit down on a chair and a
mischievous urchin yanks- the chair
away just as we have let the muscles
of the thighs relax the anger excited
Is out of all proportion to the actual
bruises that, have resulted. If a child
wants a pot'of jam and is denied he is
immediately angry unless he has been
taught to control himself. The desire
for the jam. for example, has set in
motion a nerve plan, and when this Is
suddenly stopped there Is a flow of
nervous energy which has to spend
itself in some way. ' In the case of the
child, he usually works this off by
stamping his feet'nnd crying. In the
case of the man. he tusually goes
through exactly the same processes by
thumping the table and swearing. In
the case of a hysterical woman, she
beats upon the floor with her heels and
screams. It is all the same thing.
Strange as it may seem, moreover,,
the outflow of emotion Is far better
for an angry person than it Is to bottle
It up. Emotion is going to express
Itself in action .somewhere, and if the
muscles are kept still the brain cells
will be exhausted instead. Emotional
force has got to go. somewhere. It can't
Just stop and disappear. Too great a
suppression of the emotions leads to a
gradual atrophy of them, and when
the emotions begin to die out the per
son himself or herself Is of compara
tively little use to the world. It Is for
this reason that nothing should ever j
be done to "break" a child's temper,
bnt only to guide It into right chan
nels. Yon can teach a child not to
lose control of his temper, but never,
as you value the child's development
try to train him not to be angry.

FRUIT TRADE BUSY
WITH PRICES HICH
Yellow peaches are arriving from
Columbia river orchards, and are
competing with local growth fruit,
both of which varieties are selling at
a dollar a box, wholesale. The local
fruit has a shade the best of it in
flavor. Indications are that valley
peaches will soon fill the market, and
that the price will drop considerably.
Imported apricots from out-state
points are being offered at $1.25 a
crate, and sometimes les; but the
fruit has not keeping quality. Later
in the week it is expected that there
will b$ offerings of apricots from the
neighborhood about Canby, and this
fruit is said to be ripening well and
to, give all indications of being well
up to standpard. The Canby fruit is
apt to be higher in price than the
outside stuff.
The berry market is showing but
little change. Blackberries, raspber
'
ries and some lata logans are general
ly being offered at between a dollar
and $1.25 per crate, depending on
grade, and are moving steadily
though not with speed.
Early Malaga grapes from the south
are also being offered at $2.50 per
crate, but are not fully ripened yet.
The vegetable market is showing
practically no change, save that of
