Journal, read a poem before the associa
tion and received warm applause for the
-product of his pen. The poem was a
as follows:
"The Press."
Following is the occasional poem written
,by J. H. Cradelbaugh:
Tls good to meet, albeit once a year,
To greet each other and each other cheer.
Forgetting each, those little dies and flings
Begot of nolltlcs, and other thlnas
With which we're wont, as the occasion needs.
To warm each other for alleged misdeeds,
To leave at home the editorial "we,"
And we. like common folks. Just "I" and
"me."
To spend a few days, idle, careless, blessed.
And give our readers a much-needed rest;
To cut loose, as 'twere from all things evil.
To choose our company and eschew the devil.
Forget, then, for the time, the dally grind.
X-tare Items, copy, even ads, behind.
Within these -walls, indeed there's naught to
fear;
Jfo mad subscriber can find entrance here;
3Co good "old citizen" can here find room;
"Vox Popull" grow silent as the tomb;
The "old subscriber," with an ax to grind
3day knock, and knock, and yet no entrance
find;
"Pro Bono Publico" must pass us by.
And we can smile and wink the other eye.
Ho long-haired poet here for long can bore
you,
(The fellow's bold who sends these lines be
fore you.)
Xo yell for copy can disturb you here.
And well, you needn't even "Jeff" for beer.
Because, don't start, or let the faot astound
you.
There's "Capital" In plenty all around you.
And it'fl all yours, we give to you the kegs.
And only say. "do with It what you please;"
Adding to this our Inner heart's best greeting,
Begrettlng that your visit Is so fleeting.
Yet of your calling I would say a word.
If you'll permit me longer to be heard.
There's no pursuit. In all the wide domain.
Asks more of labor or gives less of gain.
Pins every etatement closer to the fact.
Claims wiser Judgment, or a nicer tact.
Its tasks demand sometimes you walk alone,
"With moral bravery and a stiff backbone.
Rewarded only for a gallant fight
By knowledge that you struggled for the right;
Yet, If perchance you get an ugly rail,
What matters If you battled for ub all.
AVe're apt to say of every busy mart:
The city's business is the city's "heart"
Keen competition and the ceaseless strife
These. If It please you. are the city's ""life"
The boats, the cars. In endless rows arrayed.
Define the well-known "arteries of trade."
The Mayor and the Councllmen, 'tis oald.
Provide the city's "conscience" and Its
"head"
But over all. and greater than" the whole.
The city's paper Is the city's soul.
What nobler alms can any calling give?
To teach the way humanity should live."
To put our feelings In the scale with right
And give Just Judgment, should the first be
light.
The His of vice in fitting words to paint,
To'drub a lnner, or to praise a saint.
To play at all times, the full, manly part,
"With cleanly conscience and a -generous heart.
"Unswayed by favor and unmoved by fear,
A smile for pleasure andfor pain a tear.
And charity, when others' weakness calls.
That silence may catch censure ere it fall.
The foe of wrong, the steadfast friend of
right.
Isong may you live to fight the gallant fight.
And when another year be passed, why then
Here'a hoping all of tis may meet again.
Some Early History.
George H. Hlmes, historian, continued
his account of early newspapers In Oregon
and related the career of the Statesman,
a paper founded in Oregon City in March,
v 1S51, by Asahel Bush. Mr. Bush was
State Printer, and because he secured
the lucrative compensation of that office
the Legislature which elected him was
criticised by The Oregonian, Spectator and
Star.
"What changes have taken place in a
half a century is shown by a quotation
by Mr. Hlmes from an early issue of the
Statesman. In that time Mr. Bush de
clared that The Oregonian "had only an
old wooden Ramage press and a few cases
of wornout type with which the editor
could not print a tract that the youngest
apprentice, would not be ashamed to dis
tribute. Colonel E. Hofer, of the Capital Journal,
gave an informal talk on the ethics of
journalism, saying, among other things,
that it is a newspaper proprietor's duty to
be honest with himself and when he lias
made a mistake to own up and take it
back. A newspaper man's first duty is to
his own business, which he should place
upon a paying basis, so that he can be
independent, and then if he feels so dis
posed he may undertake to cure all the
evils with the which the public Is op
pressed. Colonel Hofer expressed the opinion that
newspaper men too pften feel It their
duty to fight public evils, a work for
which they get no thanks. A newspaper,
said Mr. Hofer, has no right to condemn
a person because he is accused of a
crime. Instead of assuming that the ac
cused is guilty It should give him the
benefit of a doubt until he Is proven
guilty.
Theonly exception the speaker made to
this rule Is that once in a while it is
necessary to "make an example of some
public man who has been duping the pub
lic and literally pulverize him."

SILETZ INDIAN MURDERED.
U. S. Grant's Head Was Crushed In-
Evidences of Struggle.
NEW PORT. Or., Oct. 22. U. S. Grant, a
well-known Indian of the Siletz Reserva
tlon, was found .murdered Wednesday
morning at the old Woodman ford on the
Siletz River. His head was crushed in
and his clothes were torn, which indicate
a foul murder. Two stones were found
close to the body, covered with blood, and
the ground in the vicinity showed evidence
of a terrible struggle.
Albert Martin and Scot Lane, two In
dians, are reported under arrest on sus
plcion of being the murderers. Coroner
Carter, Sheriff Ross and Deputy Prosecut
ing Attorney Swope have gone to the
scene.
-J
A telegram was received yesterday by
United States District Attorney John Hall,
stating that U. S. Grant, a famous edu
cated Indian, who has been acting as
Justice of the Peace on the Siletz reser
vation, was murdered there Wednesday by
Abe Logan and Albert Martin, two In
dians of the reservation. The message did
not state any particulars of the crime. It
simply stated that the Coroner's Jury had
held the two Indians named, as guilty of
his murder and asked that an officer be
sent to get them.
The alleged murderers are now in charge
of the Indian agent. A warrant of arrest
for the accused red men was issued yes
terday afternoon and an officer started for
the prisoners last night.
Grant was a well educated Indian and
had studied law. Nearly two years ago
he was made Justice of the Peace and
held the position until his death. He was
well known by the authorities here and
was liked by all who knew him. What
the cause for his murder could be the
officials have no idea.

LOST IN THE FIR FORESTS
SLUGS WERE FOpD FOR HARRY
POWERS FOR DAYS.
Berries, Grass and Snails Helped
Keep Life Until He Stumbled
on a Friendly Rancher.
CHEHALIS. Wash., Oct.,22. (Special.)
Lost in the woods since the second day of
October, tempted almost to suicide by
hunger and exposure, living on red
huckleberries and snails, or slugs, with
a lizard added, Harry Powers told a dis
tressing hardluck story this morning at
the office of Sheriff UrquharL
Powers had worked at a salocn at
Kanowsln. Wash., until October 2. when
he left to get a Job at a coal onlne which
' had been reported south of there. The
mine proved a delusion, however, and
Powers finally wound up on the Nlsqually
River, where he wandered up and down
stream for a few days. He had crossed
the river at Elbe, and headed off, as he
thought, south. The road forked how
ever, after entering Lewis County, and in
an effort to cut off some distance he lost
his way while crossing a marsh. Then
he was back on the Nlsqually River again,
with no place to find food or shelter, ex
cepting the deserted cabins of the early
settlers.
The weather was stormy. It rained and
was foggy at intervals and. he could get

no idea of directions. Powers says that
at one time he was so high up that he
could see the snow and that there were
mountain goats close by. He could ap
proach close to them, but having no
weapon of any kind could not Kin one tor
food. Up on the high hills where the
season is late, he found plenty of red
huckleberries for food, but as he gradually
worked his way lower down these grew
scarcer and he found little to sustain
life. He ate grass, slugs or snails and
one lizard during his experience. Powers
says that slug resembles a raw oyster
more than anything else.
Ten days ago when the weather cleared
up Powers says he was much encouraged
to try and get out of his perilous situa
tion. Up in northeastern Lewis County
there are no settlers whatever, and as he
did not know where he was it would have
been impossible for him to find tnem
anyhow.
He followed the course of small
streams for long distances, but after two
or three days at this had to abandon his
course. After the sun came up he followed
as nearly as he could the course of the
sun, working his way to the west.
As it happened he came over a south-
western course. Early yesterday morning
Powers was so weak and exhausted that
he could scarely travel. Just when hope
seemed almost gone he came out on the
headwaters of the north fork of the Ne
waukum River, above Agate, about 20
miles from Chehalis.
A woman at whose house he applied for
food gave him some bread and bacon but
he could eat little of this. He finally
reached the home of M. D. Wood, a
rancher and sank down exhausted from
hunger and fatigue. They killed him
a'chlfcken and made a supply of broth and
at Intervals all night long the man was
fed. He is feeling better today, Mr.
Wood and John Young having brought
him to Chehalis, but has no craving for
food.
Powers' condition shows his plight. His
feet are sore and his hat torn to shreds.
He threw away a gum coat he had after
being in the woods for a day or two, as
he had become so thoroughly wet that It
was of no use. He says that for days
ho shivered from the cold.
Powers has a little money, but Sheriff
-TTrnnhart Is marine for him. He savs he
formerly lived In Denver, but that it is
ten years since he left his home. During
that time he has had no word from his
people. His father was A. B. Powers, a
manufacturer of sticky flypaper in that
city. Powers says that when a boy he
suffered from an attack of typhus fever,
and that it affected him to the extent that
he took the notion that his family did ,
not care for him.
He gives this as his reason for leaving I
home. He is willing now, however, to
let his folks know where he Is and it is !

previously been made with Manager
George L. Baker, who is hero In person
from Portland. Every seat In the great
auditorium was taken, and the audience
the wealthiest no doubt that ever sat
through a theatrical performance was
highly pleased with the excellent rendi
tion of Hall Calne's famous drama.
Cathrine Countiss as Glory Quayle
was at her best and Asa Lee Wlllard
made an excellent impression as John
Storm.
ALGER COMES TO COAST.
Senator From Michigan Is Disposing
of His Great Timber Holdings.
SAN FRANCISCOT" Oct. 22. (Special.)
Senator Russell A. Alger arlved in town
by way of Arizona late tonight. He Is
here for the purpose of putting through a
big timber deal which has been all but
completed, and which Involves land worth
millions of dollars In California, Oregon
and Washington.
Alger's holdings in California have been
practically closed out to the A. B. Ham
mond Company, which Is purchasing for
the Southern Pacific. After spending a
few days hefe Alger will proceed to Ore
gon and then to Washington, where he
will complete other big timber deals. His
entire holdings In the Northwest will be
disposed of.
This news comes as a surprise, but Is
explained by the fact that Alger Is In
need of ready cash and has found a good
purchaser. Moreover, he will get a better
figure now than he could get at any other
time, as rival railroads have sent the
price of these timber lands skyward.

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
ARE YOU A SUFFERER?
Many are suffering from diseases which are slowly destroying
their finer senses, making them unfit for business or any position in
life. Their gradual decline may not be noticed, but slowly and surely
it will make its appearance when least thought of, leaving hope for
cure blasted. We ask you to commence in time and remove the causes
that will in the future produce such diseases as epilepsy, insanity,
blood poison, Bright's disease and all incurable diseases peculiar to
men and women.
Our success in treating Varicocele, Nervous Debility, Blood Poi
son, Rupture, Kidney and Urinary Diseases convince us that we are
the most successful specialists in the city. Our charges are moderate
and "v'e guarantee to cure all cases we accept.
Cancers Cancers Cancers
Are you suffering from a cancer or do you know of any one suffer
ing from this dread disease?
If you are not a sufferer and know of any one who is, you will
confer on them a great favor and may be the means of saving, their
life if you will show them this advertisement.
We have at this institution Dr. C. Billington, the most successful
cancer specialist known. For fifteen years Dr. Billington has been
treating cancers without the use of the knife, and during this time
has had marvelous success. His treatment is no experiment, but he has
full knowledge of what he undertakes. By his method cancers are re
moved in from fifteen to thirty days, the patient suffering compara
tively no pain.
His methods are entirely original, found after many years of
study.
Don't experiment with X rays or new inventions, but call at our
offices andbe convinced that he can cure you. We have at our offices
original, bona fide testimonials of hundreds of cases he has cured and
who owe their lives and happiness to him.
Only a few weeks ago he removed a cancer from the lip of a man
76 years old, living at North Yakima, Wash., who had been treated
with X rays and several times had been operated on. The man is now
cured, sound and well, with scarcely a scar to show where the cancer
grew. Since then cases from different parts of the country have been
cured, and several are now being treated daily by Dr. Billington.
You are cordially invited to call at our offices and be convinced
that our statements are true. If you can't call, write for our book of
testimonials.
Remember, he does not use the knife.

Contracted Diseases
The progress In the study of chronic con
tracted disorders within the last few years
has completely modified diseases. There Is
no chronic disease so widespread, and Its
tenacity and resistance to all forms of
treatment are features universally known".
Mort than five years ago we described the
method of dilatation which we have always
slnco employed and which has been grad
ually adopted by the profession. We have
added few modifications slnee that time,
but the method has proven Us own. worth
In the hands of others, and Its results are
Incontestable. Dilatations by special dila
tor. Irrigation and frequent Inspections of
the canal with the electric light tuoe. that
no maneuver be undertaken that Is not
surely Indicated, give Indisputable success
ful results.
We do not ask for a dollar, until a. cure
is effected.
