When- asked, for his vlewa on new legis lation In Oregon, Senator John D. Daly, of Benton County, said: "I have no bills, no plans, and I know of no proposed legislation, except -such as is being freely discussed In the news papers, that will come before the next session of the Legislature. "You ask what is my opinion regarding flat salaries for state officers. Well, I don't see any good place to build an opin ion that Isn't wobbly. The salaries pro vided for by the constitution are all too small. If we make any change we must raise them, and every dollar we raise them comes out of the taxpayer, flat. A few years ago a howl was raised for flat salaries for county officers, because it was thought some of the Sheriffs were making too much money in fees. Well, they got flat salaries for county officers, and the result is the doubling of the taxes in many of the smaller counties and the increasing of the taxes in all the counties, while litigation has become practically free for all, without money and without price. It Is as safe an axiom as any in Euclia that fees will be abol ished when there is no one interested in keeping them up. "The State Printer is the officer most generally discussed unfavorably by tho public. Let ua see hoV much-of it he deserves. The constitution provides that the rates to be paid to him for sucti printing shall be fixed by law.' They are practically so fixed. They are 'Union' rates, and no Legislature will ever vote to reduce those rates. The constitution also provides that "he shall perform all tho public printing for the state which may be provided by law, and here is the leak at the bunghole In the State Printer's office. "Tons of stuff are printed that is abso lutely useless and, although I have no data, I believe that a large proportion of the printing is not 'provided by law.' The officer or officers who order it done follow custom, and not law, and so the work Increases a little every year. Then the printer Is abused for demanding reg ular rates for work he has done: "Much of the printing is done for the state officers. Now I don't believe the state should be required to furnish legal advice or printing for the state officers. Let them pay for their legal advice, as men in o'ther walks of life have to, and then we can dispense with the office of Attorney-General, which is neither useful nor ornamental. Let them pay for their printing, as men in all other walks of life also have to do. This will be legal and constitutional, and then the State Printer won't be able to raise his family respectably on the emoluments of his of fice. The elaborate and costly bi-annual reports of state officers, and the. heads of state Institutions, and of everybody who has anything to do for the state many of them several hundred pages In extent, and some of them expensively bound are utterly useless, for they sim ply tell of the good things that have been done. The people do not want them. Page after page of the stuff le bosh and was better done by some one else before. They are never read, except by the au thor, and to get it the dear man digs through encyclopedias and dictionaries, forgetting that every time his pen scratches he Is adding m's for the printer, as I am doing now; and that re minds me that I must quit," Pulp-MHI Will Rebnild. ASTORIA,. Or., Sept. 15. (Special.) A force -of men has arrived at Skamokawa to begin rebuilding the pulp-mill near there, which was recently destroyed by fire. Work In the logging camp that sup plied the mill will also be resumfd as soon as possible. New Teacher for Xerr Era School. OREGON CITY, Sept. 15. (Special.)

The Average Mother Is Serious, TJn- selfish and Loving-. - Chicago Inter Ocean. While It Is a common theory that no matter what the. father, and husband may be, the mother and wife must rise supe rior to her environments, the fact re mains that the home is as much the man's as the woman's, and he Is relieved of none of his responsibilities because so ciety assigns it to her as iher special province. No man has a right to shirk his duty to his children because, per chance, he has a good wife and they have a good mother. The wife and- motherS rules by love, If she rule at all; the father and husband may rule by author ity as well as love. Tho wife and mother who finds that her love Is losing Its in fluence over her children requires, but Is too often denied, the disciplinary author ity of the husband and father. Ihe wrecks of children may be traced oftener to the failure of the husband to come to the assistance of the wife than to any fault of the latter. Too much, we believe, is said of the shortcomings of women in these days. Those mothers and wives who are neglect ful of their homes constitute the minor ity. The average American mother Is serious, unselfish and loving. If this wero not the case we should hot have, as we have today, a higher average of young manhood than any other country on earth. The assumption that wives and mothers are mainly to blame for the way wardness of children 13 neither reasonable nor fair. It is due usually to a few ex ceptional cases which, because of their exceptional character, "deeply impress the observer. In general, woman's devotion and love do not change as the child grows old, save for the better. Pre-Columbia Books. New York Times. ' When hieroglyphs are mentioned, one naturally thinks of the. records of ancient Egypt; yet before Columbus landed on these shores the Aztecs of ancient Mexico had a most elaborate system of writing in hieroglyphs. They formed long strips of deerskin Into books folded screen fashion, on which were depicted signs and repre sentations of ceremonials. These old pre Columbian books the Spaniards greedily collected and burned so that but 10 are known today In the whole world. One of these has only recently been found in one of the libraries of Europe, and an exact copy presented to the" Amer ican Museum of Natural History In this city, where it will shortly be placed on exhibition. The text represents the his tory of the lives of several individuals. One recounts the life of the Lary Three Glints, who has two husbands and a child, and goes through elaborate ceremonies. Another portion of this old ''Codex," as it is called, treats of the life of a great lord and conqueror named Frle-deer, who, in company with other chieftains, makes many conquests. This old book proves most conclusively how Jove, religion and warfare went hand In hand in the lives of the ancient Mexicans, Just as In peo ple's lives today. HITS OFF THE DIAMOND LEADERS SOW TO WAGE SETTLE ROYAL IX SEATTLE. Tacoma. Comes Here for Five Games With "Portland Harris Suspend ed flieTr First-Baseman. - Seattle will meet the baseball leaders this week, and the result of the five games will be watched with Interest It Is whispered around In baseball circles that Butte is sure to win the series, though by what number of games no one will venture to predict Estimates 'of the respective strength of the teams will do no good, for the games will be really decided by Portland's late guest. Chaunccy Fisher. Fisher, the great unknown, and alleged umpire, will go with his friends to Seat tle to cast the lots at the Sound City. McCarthy will come to Portland for this week's series with Tacoma, beginning Wednesday. Tacoma Is reported to be badly crippled PIONEER CITIZEN AND SALEM. Sept 15. (SpecIaL) Dr. C. H. Hall, who died in this city Saturday, was born in Lexington. Ky., In 1833, and was educated at Ashbury University, Indiana, where he.recelved the A. M. degree) in 1854. He went to Louisville, Ky., and be gan the study of medicine, but in tn following year his plans were chax&ed and he Joined Captain Will iam Craig's engineer 'corps and as sisted in a preliminary survey for s railroad to the Pacific Coast He came' to Oregon in 1856 and occupied the professorship of natural Bclence in Willamette University, of this city. Ho retained the chair for three years and afterwards taught In the Lebanon and Portland acad emies. Alter graduating from the medical department of Willamette University in 1SC8, he Immediately began the practice of medicine and continued in active practice until a few months ago, when 111 health obliged him to retire. In 1871 he accepted a professorship in the medical department of Wil lamette University on pathology and -general practice, and also became editor-in-chief of the Oregon Medical and Surgical Journal, with which h was con- -nected until 1877. when the medical college was moved to Portland. In 1887 he accopted a chair in the medical department in Portland, as professor-of theory and practice of medicine and general pathology, devoting two days of each week to college work, the remainder of the time to his practice at Salem. Dr. Hall was married at Salem In 1S56 to Miss Mary Waller, daughter of Rev. Alvin Waller, who came to this state as a missionary in 1840. Besides his wife, he Is survived by a daughter, Mrs. John H. McNary. of this city, and two grand children Gertrudo and Margaret children of his daughter, Mrs. George B. Gray, now- deceased. ' up with weak pitchers, and the fans think that Portland has a cinch on the series, and a few go so far as to predict that the Webfeet will win five straight This Is unlikely, as no team, however strong over another, stands a chance of winning on five consecutive days. Three games would please the Portland bunch very well, and four would tickle them to death. Each team will play 21 more games this season. If Portland Is to win the pennant It will have to win every one of the 21 and obtain an average of 553.' Butte will have to lose 12 and'-win-nine, and obtain a percentage of 575. Seattle will have to lose seven and get an average of 579, and Helena will have to lose five and get an average of 579. If all the teams will do this Portland can win with Its 5S3 percentage. If Seattle will lose half of her coming 21 games, and Portland will win three-fourths of hers, the Webfeet will beat the Clam dlggers out It is better to let Improb abilities rest peacefully In their graves, however, than to dig them up at this time. Manager Sammy "Vlgneux, of the Port land team, has Indefinitely suspended Harris from the list of the local players. His action In this matter has been forced by Harris' frequent dlsobeyance of the club rules and regulations. Kostal, who pitched for four innings Sunday, was in no shape to pitch at all, nnd should not have had to go in the game. His right hand Is swollen to twice Its natural thlckness,and he can hardly hold a ball In It, let alone try to curve Stovall, the brother of Seattle's crack twlrler, who has been playing with Pen dleton during the season, has been signed by Manager Vlgneux to play on first during Zefgler's absence from the game. Stovall Is a hard hitter. In fact the hardest of the Inland Empire League, and will, prove a valuable addition to the Portland team. Weed, who has suf ficiently recovered to go In the game Wednesday, will be transferred to third, and Stovall will hold down the Initial sick. Great tales of Stovall's hitting have ccme down from east of the moun tains, and he will be expected to do some things when he gets here. ' Fay, who played third for the locals, won the ad miration of all who saw him during the game. He has a cool head, and is cut out for a ball player. Van Buren has been suffering for the past few days with a severe cold that threatens to lay him out of the game If its present sever ity keeps up much longer. The tall fielder would be hard to replace, even for a few days. If he were to go out of the play. Vlgneux has a very bad hand, swollen with blood poisoning, and a very lame hip. the result of his little encounter with Drennan on Friday last Sammy was holding down the home plate, and the Seattle man came along on the hike, and bumped Into him with such force that he went sprawling. He has a slight limp still,- but will be In the game as usual on Wednesday. The single-handed trlplc-play people are hard to down, for they butt In from every side. Here Is a short account from the Sporting Lifer "Lebanon. Pn., Sept 10 Frank Eustace, third baseman of the Pottsville Club, made a triple play unassisted In the game with Lebanon AH-Collcglate here on Sep tember S. With Black on third and Hoyt on second. In the third inning. Locrcher met the ball squarely and It shot at Eustace with terrific force. The ball struck Eustace's glove. As It was falling, ho caught It, touched Hoyt, who was on his way to third, and then he stepped on the bag, retiring Black. The game re sulted 6 to 2 fn -favor of Potsvllle." Hogg snapped his arm square In two Just above the elbow Joint Sunday, and it will be many months before1 he can throw a ball again. Some go so far ns to say that he never will be able to pitch again, but he Is young, and the break Is In the best possible place for a quick and good knit again. The cradk, when It broke, could be heard In the grandstand. Adams, who played first for a few min utes on Sunday, Is not the Adams that pitched in the Northwest League last year. He Is a different man .entirely, and comes from the Inland Empire League. His finger nail was taken completely off, but he wlll .be In the game soon again when needed. Manager Foster, of the Multnomah Club team. Is trying to arrange a series of games with the Everett team next week. A number of the club's players have gone off to college, and football Is endearing Itself to- the others, and the chance for the" trip Is small. It may be pulled off, however, and Foster will take his men over on the Sound to win. Spokane seems to have a cinch on the ceHar championship now, and will prob ably win out WHY THE GAME WAS CALLED OFF. Diamond W. Manager Says He Re sented Dictation of Other Team. HILLSBORO. Or., Sept 15. (To the Ed itorsReferring to an article In this morning's Oregonlan from Forest Grove, wherein the "coarse work of the Diamond W. baseball nine" is mentioned, I wish to stato that, as manager of the Diamond W. team, IN arranged a series of four games with the Cornelius-Forest Grove team, two to be played at Hlllsboro and two at Forest Grove. I did not ask to select tho men who were to play on the Cornelius Forest Grove team, but selected my nine. Late In the evening before the day the first game was to have been played, the manager of the Cornelius-Forest Grove nine virtually refused to play unless I al lowed him the prerogative of selecting my men for me. Of course, this ended the dealings between the two teams. The Diamond W. nine Is ready to meet any team outside the Northwest League, and will play on the diamond, not In the paper. PHYSICIAN OF SALEM. Dr. C H. Hall. If President W. H. Lucas will permit me to select his players and allow me to sign my own team, I will beat any team In the Northwest League. The Cornelius Forest Grove team reminds me of a Wap pato citizen who remarked: "Let me pick my opponent and I am the heavy-weight championship fighter in America." A. C. SHUTE, Manager Diamond W.

His height is 5 feet 7 inches. His weight is 138 pounds. RINGSIDE, FORT ERIE, Ont. Sept 15. Tommy Ryan may be the veteran of tly. middle-weights In the prizerlng, but he is sUll far from a back number. To night in the arena at Fort Erie, In a vicious, bruising fight, he knocked out "Kid',' Carter, of Brooklyn, In the last minute of the sllth round. The knockout was clean and decisive, and came chiefly as the result of superior ring generalship of Ryan ring generalship which enabled him throughout to success fully evade or withstand the heavy on slaughts of his opponent Sturdy and heavy hitting, proud of his great endur ance, full of energyfi confidence and ambi tion, Carter was no mean opponent In fact, he hustled Ryan throughout the fight, forcing him from corner to corner with wicked lunges which only destroyed any effort on Ryan's part to box prettily. Forced to fight, Ryan finally went at the game as only a few can. He stung and Jabbed Carter until he had him bleeding and bewildered, and then several well placed right-arm Jolts on. the Jaw tum bled the husky young fellow, a bleeding mass of senseless humanity, to the floor. Carter fought gamely and tried hard, but he suffered about all the visible punish ment that was noted during the bout Such men as McCoy, Jack O'Brien and others looked with amazement on the Kan sas City man's work tonight While the bout was too short to sufficiently test Tommy's endurance, there was nothing very terrifying to his backers in the wear iness he displayed at any time. The very nature of the fight put up by Carter pre vented Tommy displaying -at Its best his well-known footwork, but "he sidestepped, lunged and plunged In the beautiful man ner of old. When forced to mix he went at It willingly and with rare Judgment, and when In the fifth and sixth rounds Carter slowed up a bit Ryan Jabbed him unmercifully, reducing him to a plight where, if the pace continued, the knock out seemed only a question of moments. When- the men weighed In this afternoon Carter stripped at precisely 158, while Ryan made the weight with all his clothes on. Ryan "was the favorite at 2 to 1 to 10 to 7. The Fisrht by Rounds. The men entered the ring at 9:30. The seconds for Carter were Bob Armstrong and Kid Partland; for Ryan, Harry 'Peffers and Bartley, of Blnghamton. George Slier, of New York, was referee. The fight by rounds was as follows: Round 1 The gong caled the men to the center of the ring at 9:37. Carter at once began edging Ryan Into the corners, darter swung left twice and was blocked. Ryan swung right hard on the ear, and followed with a wicked left on the neck. Carter did not seem disturbed, and tried right for the Jaw. Ryan ducked. Carter put heavy right over Ryan's body, and Tommy swung both hands to the head. Carter missed two heavy right swings. Carter put a heavy right on the body, but in the exchange Ryan got to the head twice heavily. Ryan Jabbed a right to the face and put a right on the body. It was a very fast round. Round 2 Carter came up bleeding slight ly at the mouth from the effect of Tommy's jab. Carter went In with heavy swings for the head and body, and he evi dently hurt Tom t every time he landed. Ryan put In a right on the ribs heavily, and Carter seemed somewhat bothered, but they clinched and fought away. Carter put a stinging left on the Jaw. Tommy laughed and jumped away. There was a world of force In every blow that Carter struck. Ryan was clearly worried. Carter put a heavy left on the solar jlcxu3, and Ryan complained that the blow was low. Carter put a heavy right to tho body. Ryan began going fast, and swinging a heavy right to Carter's jaw daggered him.
