WALKED TO POOR FARM
Idaho Ten-Year-Old Did "What He
Thought "Would Relieve His
Mother in. Her Great
Distress.
WARDNER, Idaho. "April 17. (Special.)
Georgie Decker, 10 years old. lost his
father by death a week ago. and the lit
tle fhap became despondent over the pov
erty the family faced after the death of
the breadwinner. He had heard gloomy
talk about the family having- to go to the
poor farm, and the prospect of seeing his
mother and his little brothers sent thither
preyed upon his mind night and day.
At last he decided that the only way
they could escape would be through sav
ing the expense of his keep, and, without
saying a word to anyone, tho little lad
struck out for the poor farm. By dint of
much walking he got to the place four
days ago and told the keeper that he
meant to stay until he was big enough to
work for himself.
The boy never thought of telling his
mother: and she was heartbroken over
his loss. Chief Decker, of the police
force, after three days' telephoning, got
a trace of the boy and brought him back
safe today to his mother. Now he thinks
that the poor farm is a good enough place
for boys without a home, but he thinks
that he can best help his mother by stay
ing at home and doing his best for her
with his own little efforts.

ROORBACK SPRUNG ON HUSTON
Congressional Candidate Lays It at
Door of Disbarred Lawyer.
HILLSBORO. Or.. April 17. (Special.)
Considerable political excitement was
caused here today by the distribution of
an unsigned circular, purporting to be
the political history of Hon. S. B. Huf
ton, the Washington County candidate
for Congress In this district. The article
was a lengthy one. and contained the al
legation that Mr. Huston left the Demo
cratic party for monetary as well as
other reasons.
Tho circular was given wido distribu
tion among Republicans all oovr the
county, and tonight a letter was
circulated signed by Mr. Huston, who
charges that the attack was caused to
be printed and distributed by Edgar C
Kindt, and ascribes the motive as due
to the fact that Mr. Huston was a mem
ber of the grievance committee of the
Oregon Bar Association when Kindt was
disbarred some years ago. The article by
Mr. Huston further charges that the orig
inal complaint to the Bar Association
was made by Kindt's own uncle.
Huston says he has evidence that Kindt
distributed the circulars and that at the
same time he accompanied some of the
dodgers with a picture of Toosc. The
circular Issued by Kindt was not print
ed by the local Democratic paper. Mr.
Huston's political friends here are high
ly Indignant over the attack coming at
so lato an hour and from such a source.

MANY LARGE FISH ARE CAUGHT
Gillncttcrs in Prairie Channel Arc
the Most Successful.
ASTORIA. Or.. April 17.-SpeclaL)-
Tho deliveries of fish today exceeded those
of yesterday, and the catch thus far.
while not large, has been better than
for several years so early In the season.
This, of course, may be accounted for. In
part at least, by the fact that there was
no fishing during the closed season, and
the schools of salmon in the river were
thus not disturbed.
The boats which drifted last night In
Prairie Channel, above Tongue Point.
were the most successful, averaging about
400 pounds to the boat, with a .good pro
portion of large fish among them. Re
turn from the vicinity of the mouth of
the river were not bo good, as the water
was extremely rough, and many of the
fishermen did not venture out. One je
cullar feature of the present reason is
the reappearance of sturgeon in larger
quantities than for a number of years.

STAMP LAW VALID
Washington Attorney-General
Says He So HoWs.
DESPITE JUDGE HANFORD
Opinions Arc Conflicting Regarding
Trading Devices, and State Su
preme Court "Will Be Called
Upon, for Final Decision.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. April 17. (Special.)
In a long opinion addressed to Sec
retary of State Samuel H. Nichols. Attorney-General
Atkinson holds that the
so-called tradlng-stamp law passed by the
last Legislature Is constitutional and
valid. Thl opinion Is given In face of the
fact that Judge Hanford, of the Federal
Court, has declared the law unconstitu
tional. But the Attorney-General say
conflicting opinions have been rendered
on the subject, and he will hold In favor
of the law until it is declared unconsti
tutional by the Supreme Court of this
state. The Attorney-General says:
"It is my opinion that the Legislature
considered the uso of coupons, trading
stamps and prizes In sales of merchan
dise in this state a grand nuisance, and
that it fully Intended such Inducements
should he illegal and -.should be prohibited.
Under the law. all persons practicing and
advertising through the above means of
coupons and trading stamps are in this
state subject to prosecution and liable,
if found guilty, to tine and Imprison
ment." REGIMENTAL COLORS MISSING

OLY.MPIA. Wash.. April 17. (Special.)
If there was a fund available for the
purpose. Governor Mead would offer a
reward for the return of tho First Wash
ington Territory Volunteer Infantry col
ors. Territorial records show that la
January. 1SC7. the territorial Legislature
adopted a resolution thanking Colonel
Stolnberger. Hon. Elwood Evans, 'then
Secretary of the territory, and others,
for their efforts in securing the return of
the colors, after muster -out, to the ter
ritory, and directing the Secretary of the
Territory to procure a suitable case fer
them and preserve them. It Is apparent
the resolution was premature, for It does
not appear that the colors were ever re
ceived. Governor Mead has appealed to Senator
Piles to have the matter Investigated in
Washington and see if the War Depart
ment has any knowledge of the colors.
It is almost forgotten history that
Washington Territory contributed a rcsi
ment to the Union Army during the Civil
War. It waa recruited partly at Alcalrax

SALEM", Oregon, April 14, 1906.
As a circular signed hy a well-known Populist is being circulated
in the First Congressional District by the competitors of Professor
Hawlcy, the evident object of which is to discredit Sir. Hawley with
tlie members of the G. A. R. and other patriotic citizens, Ave, as vet
erans of the Civil War and members of the G. A. R.r desire to publicly
protest against it as an utterly unjust attack upon a worthy-man.
I is a garbled and distorted statement, cunningly worded to give an
utterly false impression.
Mr. Hawley has been a resident of this community for nearly
20 years, and has frequently shown himself, in his addresses and
otherwise, to be a friend and 'champion of the old soldier. It is our
judgment that he will receive almost the solid vote of the veterans
of this community.

Mr. B. Shaw, of Liberty, whose name is used in the circular herein
above referred to, has published a repudiation of all responsibility
for its circulation, and declares that such use of a private letter, not
intended for publication, is "a low method of politics that will do
its authors more harm than good."
Hundreds of the circulars referred "to, with other matter abusive
of Mr. Hawlcj", have been scattered over the district in envelopes
bearing the postmarks of Portland and Woodburn. Mr. Hawley 's
friends have no comments to make upon such political methods. They
simply submit the whole matter to the old veterans and all good
citizens who believe in fair play and clean and open methods, and
will accept their verdict, whatever it may be.
According to a telegram received from
Senator Fulton by "Dan Smythe, secre
tary" for the Oregon Woolgrowers Associ
ation, it is probable that a road will soon
be opened across the Umatilla reserva
tion for the use of the cattle and sheep
men of the county. The telegram states
that such an order can be made by the
President at hl3 discretion.
