Ills Operation A Very Nervous
Passengrcr With $1G0.
OREGON CITY, Dec. 5. A hold-up oc
curred on the line of the Willamette Falls
Railway Company about five-eighths of a
mile but of Oregon City this afternoon.
The highwayman secured about 58. The
company operates a trolley-car between
Oregon City and Willamette, a distance
of about three miles, on the east side
of the river. Yesterday, a rail was found
oa the track, but its presence was attrib
uted to the pranks of school boys. On
three different trips today" a tie was found
across the track, . and the third time a
masked man, of .medium size and height,
sprang from the hrush and ordered the
passengers to alight. This order was
promptly obeyed. There were only five
passengers on the car, and among them
-was Frank Capen, of the Capen Shoe
Company. He had over $150 in his purse.
He endeavored to conceal the money, but
It slipped between his trousers and under
clothing and fell to the ground, and Mr.
Capen did not pick up his purse until the
robber disappeared. The thief compelled
each passenger to deposit his money on
the bank. He then took It and
disappeared In the brush, and the car pro
ceeded on to this city. The police believe
that the highwayman is the iman who has
been operating on the road below town.

place a sub-station on the university
grounds adjacent to the proposed Y. M. C.
A. building, which would make the arrival
and departure of student teams and dele
gates much more convenient than at

Jackson and Battle of New Orleans.
Scrlbncr's.
Of four British Major-Gcnerals present,
two Including Pakenham were killed and
a third wounded. In one regiment 505
were killed or wounded out of a total of
775. The losses of the whole command
were 2036 out of COOO engaged. Jackson
lost only 8 killed and 33 wounded on his
own side of the river, and, counting the
losses in Morgan's .command, on the west
bank, the aggregate was only 71. It is
hard to find in military annals a record
of a defeat so complete under such favor
able circumstances. On the British side
were regular troops, the veterans of Sala
manca and Badajos and Cludad Rodrlgo,
commanded by ofilcers specially selected
for their skill and experience In actual
war, while Jackson commanded tho most
picturesque and motley aggregation ever
brought together two regiments of regu
lars, two brigades of backwoodsmen, form
ing the militia of Kentucky and Tennes
see; a battalion of free negroes, a detach
ment of Lafltte's pirates, a squad of
French soldiers who had served under Na
poleon, a battalion of San Domlngans. an
other of Louisiana Creoles, some sailors
and Jackson, towering above them all, rid
ing the whirlwind, and "By the Eternal!"
bringing order out of chaos. Nothing was
lacking to heighten the dramatic effect,
and these three weeks Jackson gained a
popularity among the masses of his coun
trymen which no error or indiscretion dur
ing the subsequent 22 years of his public
life could ever shake or diminish. He re
mained in command at New Orleans after
the close of the war, being retained in the
army In the reduction of 1S15 as one of the

"WANT TO EXCHANGE LANDS.
Settlers In Forest Reserve Make a.
Proposition to the Government.
WASHINGTON, Dec 5. A number of
settlers on the Mount Rainier forest rz-
J serve have been in communication with
Senator Foster, with a view to securing
permission, ir possible, from the Depart
ment of the Interior, to relinquish cer
tain holdings In various isolated parts ot
the reserve, and take In lieu thereof
claims bunched In some locality where
school facilities and other advantages of
civilized communities might be enjoyed.
There Is no law warranting compliance
with this request. Nevertheless, a thor
ough Investigation of the whole subject
--
FRANCIS DONAHOE.
has been instituted at the request of Sen
ator Foster, and an effort Is being made
to In gome way offer relief to settlers who
have been isolated and deprived of school
and other advantages by establishment of
forest reserves.
It is also the desire of Senator Foster
to make some arrangement whereby set
tlers who have made Improvements on
claims located Inside of reserves may se
cure some return for their labor and In
vestment, should they elect, under the
provisions of the existing law, to select
In lieu lands elsewhere. It Is not believed
that any cash compensation can be se
cured, but Representative Jones and oth
ers are of the opinion that it may be
possible to Insert Into the law a provision
that an estimate shall be placed on the
value of Improvements and a settler may
secure In exchange for the same a certain
amount of land adjacent to the property
which he selects In lieu of his land locat
ed Inside of a forest reserve, provided, ot
course, that such additional lands are
available.
C03IE TO TERMS "WITH TRUST.
Head Minors Will Get Less From
Smelting Combine in Future.
SPOKANE. Wash., Dec 5. Advices
from New York say that the smelting
trust will pay 3.3 cents per pound Tor
lead from Colorado and Utah mines after
the first of the year. The price is a fifth
of a cent lower than will be paid to Coeur
d'Alene lead miners. A conference be
tween officers of smelting trust and mine
owners of Coeur d'Alene has been In
progress for the past two weeks In New
York. After much discussion, a settle
ment has practically been reached. Coeur
d'Alene lead miners will get $3 50 per hun
dred pounds for lead In future, instead of
$4, the present price It Is provided that
tho new arrangement shall last for six
months, but the t-melting trust has the
right to cancel the contract on giving 0
days notice. Lead miners are much dis
satisfied with the contract. The profits
of some mines will be cut in half. Coupled
with this difficulty Is the demand on the
part of the smelting trust that miners
shall work their properties only a about
two-thirds of their normal capacity. That
arrangement is to keep down production.

BIG LOT OF WHISKY DESTROYED.
Northwest Mounted Police Emptied
It Into the Yukon River.
VANCOUVER, B. C. Dec 5. The
Northwest mounted police have destroyed
whisky valued at $3500. The stock was
at Cariboo Crossing, at the foot of Lake
Bennett, and across the border from
British Columbia Into Yukon territory.
Duncan Anderson had had a stock ot
liquor at Bennett, B. C, and secretly
moved It down the lake by scow to Car
iboo Crossing. He sank the scow to the
bottom of the lake and built a house with
false walls, hiding the stock of llquor3
In the apertures. The mounted police tore
down the walls and emptied the liquor
Into the Yukon. The story came out In
court, and when it was heard by the Yu
kon Commissioner last week, Anderson
was fined $400.
ABOUT A DRYD0CK.
Wood Best Mntcrinl For Its Con
struction New York Docks.
PORTLAND, Dec 3. (To the Editor.)
The Port of Portland has assumed soma
heavy responsibilities recently, and not
the least Important is the construction
of a drydock, which, in conjunction wltft
general harbor improvements, means the
broadening of lt maritime dignity to that
of a first-class seaport. Like any other
radical Improvement in which a whole
community Is interested, the project meets
with considerable opposition from the
ever-present "calamity howlers," but as
a progressive necessity It Is too positive
to warrant any discussion.
It therefore resolves itself into a ques
tion of ways and mean3, with strong rea
sons for arriving at results with as little
delay as possible. The recent discussion
In The Oregonlan as to the relative mer
its of steel and wooden drydocks deals
rather with sentimental generalities than
cold facts, and shows both popular and
editorial preference in favor of steel,
which doeg not seem to offer much encour
agement to the banner product of Oregon.
As a matter of fact there are no steel or
chard!: In this Immediate vicinity, ana
such of the Eastern product as finds its
way to Portland not only pays heavy trib
ute to transcontinental, but frequently
cutters much personal abuse through con
tact with local ironworkers, and In the
completed structure Is not always the Im
perishable product which It Is assumed to
be. On the other hand, there are some
few trees In this vicinity, and the country
gives promise of being able to furnish ma
terial for cheap and efficient repairs for a
considerable period In the future.
What better precedent covering all phas
es of this drydock matter can we hope for
than by consulting the experience of Ncw
1'ork City? There the drydock business
has been reduced to a commercial proposi
tion and it is fair to assume that th- a:cn
eyed individuals and corporations who
have made their Investments have been
guided by experience of the most stable
character. Notwithstanding this, It is a
notable fact that practically all the large
Moating drydocks in New York and vicini
ty are of wood construction, and It Is fur-
proximity of New York to the greatest (
sieei centers ot me worta, tne mater
ial for their docks came from the South
at considerable cost, and was of a variety
which Orcgonlans claim Is not the equal
of their native fir. In view of these facts,
and believing that the Port of Portland
Is not compelled to spend all of their $400,
003 appropriated for the purpose. It is very
difficult to maintain the "underpinning or
the steel drydock argument, and notwith
standing the trend of popular expression.
It Is very doubtful If the commission have
given It any serious consideration.
Assuming wood to be the only logical
material of construction, and coming to
the character or design of the dock, does
not precedent again offer valuable assist
ance? The two latest, largest and best
floating drydocks In New York Harbor are
practically Identical In construction. In
fact, are both made from the same de
sign, with minor differences In the details
of operating machinery, etc. They nra
the balanced sectional, self-docking va
riety, and are the result of searching and
well-directed study of n straightforward,
though difficult, engineering problem.
The writer has had the privilege of see
ing an iron steamship about 330 feet long
enter one of these drydocks. and just 45
mln.utes thereafter a gang of painters
were busy scraping and repairing the bot
tom plates. A visit to the same dock the
following day found another vessel In the
dock, and the dock master said he expect
ed another the following day. During
the same week, a United States transport
capsized In a drydock across the harbor,
killing and wounding a number of me
chanics, and accenting the Importance of
positive appliances in such Important
work. A visit to all the various dry
docks, marine railways, etc. within a ra
dius of 10 miles of New York would prob
ably fall to disclose any adequate reason
for believing that a dock of the type In
question ..h not pre-eminently fitted for the
conditions extant In the Port of Portland,
and It Is hoped that the worthy Commis
sion will shortly 30 decide. One special
advantage, aside from a'.l others, is the
fact that the facilities offered by such a
dock do not demand any very great ex
tent of water front, and It would there
fore not be necessary to have a dock lo
cated at some distant and Inaccessible
place where contractors engaged In mak
ing repairs would have to take a day off
to see if their employes were really work
ing, or having a picnic in the adjacent
woods. W. H. CORBETT.
FORMED BY ENVIRONMENT.
Influence of Places of Evil on Youth
ful Character.
' VANCOUVER, Wash.. Dec. 4. (To the
Editor.) The comments In The Oregonlan
on the youthfulness of the murderers of
young Morrow and the responsibility of
parents must command the attention of
all right-thinking rieoplo; but we should
go farther than thl3 In placing responsi
bility for the increasing number of youth
ful criminals.
There is a time in the life of every child
when outside forces come In to Influence
and help form his character. Even when
both father and mother are united In their
efforts to build up ail that Is virtuous and
of good report In the life of the ch'Id,
when he leaves home and comes under
the Influence of other teachers how often
the parents learn to their sorrow that they
are regarded as back numbers.
"What shall we say of the position and
condition of things where there Is a di
vision of purpose between the heads of
the house; or either where the father sim
ply refuses to recognize his duty and ob
ligations to his children, and neither by
word or example strengthens the teach
ing of the mother In lines of morality and
righteousness?
This condition we oftentimes find; In
deed, we are sorry to have to say that
we believe that this is the prevailing con
dition In society today. While we would
impress upon the mother her tremendous
opportunity and responsibility, we must
In justice to all lay the chief burden
where It belongs.
The moral teachings of the home are
being dissipated and discounted by the
Immoral conditions surrounding the home
and society generally. Can a boy have a
great abhorrence of evil social usages and
customs that he knows have been estab
lished, countenanced and supported by
those who are regarded as leading men In
church and state? Nothing, In our esti
mation, is more responsible for the tre
mendous Increase of vice and crime among
the youth ot our land than the dual atti
tude, the dual life, many so-called good
men are living today. Places of evil In
fluence, as the saloon, the gambling den,
the brothel, could never exist without the
approval and complicity of the majority
of men. Natuially, the son comes to re
gard these places as not so bad after all,
for father regards them as a necessity.
Is not opposed to them, and many others
who stand well In the community are in
favor of licensing them.
When talking about our children we do
not believe that It Is necessary for their
welfare that they should pass through
these schools of vice. Then. In God's
name, how dare we provide them to the
destruction of other children.
Our word3 belle our actions when we
say that we should stand guard over the
children, and then proceed forthwith to
place vile traps on every side to catch
their unwary. Inexperienced feet.
Men are preaching a morality they are
unwilling to practice, and, worse, they
are helping establish Iniquity for the few
paltry dollars that the licensing of It may
bring In, every dollar of which, In tho
sight of God, Is blood-money.
Let parents realize to the full extent
ihelr responsibility as parents, but let
them not forget that they have also an
equal responsibility as citizens, which ex
tends beyond their own thresholds, and
enters into even department of city, coun
ty and Btate government.
If we would have our ch!Sren grow up
God-fearing, law-abiding, useful men and
women, we must do more than shield,
guard and train them In the home, and
then turn them out to run the gauntlet
of vice and iniquity which abounds in
every city and town In our land.
In the cose of Wade and Dalton, Is It
not fair to conclude that the saloon fur
nished them with the fiery liquor which
nerved them to go out on their dreadful
lound :n search of a victim? The saloon
Is the place where such creatures most
do congregate. It Is the place where the
weak, the Idle, tho unfortunate, are gath
ered In to their ruin and death.
When will men learn that the duty of
the state is to throw Its protecting arm3
around those who are Its wards; that
feel the exquisite thrill of motherhood with indescribable dread and
fear. Every woman should know that the danger, pain and horror
of child-birth can be entirely avoided by the use of Mother's Friend,
a scientific liniment for external use only, which toughens and renders
pliable all the parts, and
assists nature in its sublime
work. By its aid thousands
of women have passed this
great crisis in perfect safety
and without pam. Sold at $1.00 per
bottle by druggists. Our book of priceless
value to all women sent free. Address

Gray Hair
Ayer's Hair Vigor doesn't
suddenly restore color to
your gray hair; but gradually
the old. color comes back
all the dark, rich color it used
to have. It stops falling of
the hair, too, and will often
make the hair grow to be
very long and heavy.
" Ayer's Hair Vigor is certainly won
derful. It has restored the natura
color to my gray hair and has made a
colendid new growth." Miss Emmi
Calder, New York City.

it Is the truest statesmanship to uplift,
to educate; that the paltry money which
comes back from the licensing of evil can
not compensate for the destruction of all
that is good In human hearts?

At the beginning of the thirteenth cen
tury it occurred to some one to preserve
the likeness of his departed friend, as well
as the symbols of his rank and station.
So effigies were introduced upon the sur
face of the slabs, and were carved fiat,
but ere 50 years had passed away, the art
of the sculptor produced magnificent mon
umental eitlgles. Knights and nobles lie
clad In armor with their ladles by their
sides; bishops and abbots bless the spec
tators with thrtr uplirted right hands;
Judges He In their official garb; and mer
chants with the emblems of their trade.
At their feet lie animals, usually having
some heraldic connection with the de
ceased, or symbolical of his work; c: g.,
a dragon Is trodden down beneath the
feet of a bishop, signifying the defeat of
sin as the result of hte ministry. The
heads of effigies usually rest on cushions,
which are sometimes supported by two
angels.
