Finder will get "his reward by applying to the county Of ficials whose salaries are to be raised If the author of this bill resides in Port land, he could not have been found yester day if a fl no-tooth oml had been run through the entire list of county officials. Some thought they knew who the faith less father was. some snld they knew, others satd they lind not seen it. nor had they been consulted as to its birth. Vet the bill hp.s put all of the offlrialB In a state of mind. It has been a lone time sinpft the musty old County Courthouse rang: with such words of ria-hteons indiK- nation. That proverbial tempest In a tea pot, tho riduVof "How old is Ann?" and the mystery of the lost Charley Ross sink into tnnijjnilleance compared with tlie deep. and Impenetrable mystery concerning the father of this bill. Not one county official will admit fram- Insr tlie measure. Mow of them declare ihcy never saw the pnrentless child until it Riipearcrt In The Oregonlan of Wednes day. Rvpry county official, both large and mpll. jtimTed yklrwRyu when askel ye lorday uftcrnoon if he ever aw the bill bffore or after it was drafted.

Don't ask me anything about the hill; 1 never heard of it until J read the story In the ptiper." was what County Com missioner Barries' had to ' say over .the telephone. County Assessor RLgler was so angry that he fairly sizzled. Asking him If he knew anything about the obnoxious bill was lle touching a live wire. "Pid I see the bill before It irot to Salem?" he said, and he choked down his wrath like a man trying in vain to swallow something very bitter.' "Of course I saw it. And when I saw that It provided for an increase in my salary and a reduction of $660 of my deputies. I told the man to cut my office out of the bill, or I'd fight it. What's more. I will fight it. I was not consulted about tho bill and I don't believe any of the county officials were consulted. The public will ptrhaps remember, for It was printed at the time, that 1 had a.ked the County 'ourt for an increase of salary for my thief drputy to $175 per month, and one chief field deputy for J1C5. and three field deputies for 100 and after due considera tion the increase ww granted. This bill that no one wants to father content, piates fixing the salary of one chief dep- puty at $1."0 and one chief field deputy at 51 - and three tleld deputies at $90. mak- inff a total reduction of JtitiO.

CHOKE AND BEAT VICTIM under the shade of a On rretcxt of insisting Accomplice Who Simulates Injury, Highway man Entices Rancher Into Dark Strct and Robs Him. Within two blocks of the home of captain or Detectives Bruin, and when the officer was at his residence, two highwaymen perpetrated one of the met daring; and unique crimes in the history or Portland at 9 o'clock last nizht. Pre tending- his companion was injured, a tall man. who was standing- on the sidewalk at twenty-first and Tclanderw atraeta asked W. S. Arnold if he would assist htm in getting- the supposedly wounded traiiffer down the street. It was only a ruae. and Arnold was slugged, choked ana roDoea or big tree. After being- handled roua-hly. stripped of an nis money ana tnre&tenea with death If he raised an alarm, Arnold borrowed cprfare from his landlord In a lodelne house at Twentieth and Washington streets, boarded a trolley-car and hurried to the Imperial Hotel, where he had been stopping up to yesterday. Securing a friend to go with him. he hurried to police headquarters, where he related his story to Captain Bruin. The latter had just reached tlie station, having ridden from his home. Arnold, who is a rancher from Siskiyou County. California, had been at St. Vin- cent's' Hospital to visit a lad who is ill there. He walked down Glisan street to Twenty-third, and from there went south to Flanders. After walking east two blocks, he met two men. One was seated on the curb, the other was standing. "Stranger, will you help me to ?et this man down the street? asked the man who was standing. "He has been hurt." "Certainly. replied Arnold, and he helped to lift up the man on the curb. They progressed hut a short distance. when they reached a big shade tree where it was quite dark. Suddenly the tall man dealt Arnold a terrible blow on the fore head with some weapon, and simultane ously the man who was supposed to be injured grasped the victim bj- the throat. He shoved Arnold to the sidewalk, and then both men searched the prostrate victim's pockets. taking everything: he had but a watch. They then threatened Oak-Street Social Happenings Prominent Party Leader Entertained at ' the Cameron Mr. Hill Wants New Tax Legislation Mr. Lockhart Going to South Africa. THR advent of a great party leader is no small affair even in Oak street social circles, where eminent men are received almost daily. Folltics. of course, is not a fashionable topic, -but the appearance at the Cameron yesterday of that -commanding- genius. Mr. .William Jaftgins Broum, broufrht society out in ail lis brilliance to receive the distin guished guest. Mr. Brown, acknowledged leader of the Kever-Labor party In America, came un expectedly. But no sooner did it become noised about that he was here than a committee headed by British Ambassador Bruin went out In search of him. If the committee supposed Mr. Brown would be located amid the rich luxury of the Salvation Army shelter they were griev ously mistaken. With that spirit of true democracy so characteristic of all his actions, Mr. Brown was makinpr himself comfortable in a plain but comfortable furnished drysoods box in the rear of a fashionable Burnside-street employment agency. When the reception committee came upon him they at once Insisted that he become the center of a triumphal pro cession to tlie Cameron. Mr. Brown is a great party man. Be sides a Never-I-alior leader he is emi nent as an anarchist, being a bitter op ponent of all forms of law. As to labor. Mr. Brown thinks that working should be left to the domain of yeast cakes and hard cider. Man is made for a nobler purpose, he avers. Forty years ago Mr. Brown was ob scure, but 38 years ago his presence on earth began to be felt. Although a com paratively young man of 38 years Mr Brown's days have been proline of achievement. At 15 he had been arrested nine times and at 20 he was In the peni tentiary. A martyr to the. great and good cause of anarchy, he has since spent many years behind the bars. He has also spent a great deal of time before the bars. A -hitter opponent of law enforce ment, he has always had the courage of his convictions. One of Mr. Brown's first mottoes is "sixteen to one." He Insists that all people should adopt this motto and that the masses should refuse to affiliate with appeasers of the public-thirst who fail to devote sixteen ounces of lager to one stein. Mr. Brown is also a firm protectionist and believes all vio lators of the law should -be grlven pro tection from the po lice. Regarding- our forolgn possessions Mr. Brown takes the stand that the American flas should be hauled down in the Fhlllppines, Porto Rioo. Nevada and Seattle.' Government ownership is another sub ject to which Mr. Brown has given much attention. While opposed to govern- mcnts BltOECther. lie feds that since they poem to succeed in existing the should cuine the ownership or j1 I saloons and should Install gentlemen as the keepers tncrcor. At tne present time all bar- keepers are not real Kenilemen. Mr. Brawn ays. and In support of the as sort ton points fec-Ilngly to a peculiar anatomical eminence on the rear portion of Ills cranium. This, he says, was the re-ply he received to his fcracnful and opui-teoun offer to accept the hospital i ty of a Baker City bar. On . the railroad question, too. Mr. Rrown has most pronounced Ideas. Me axserts unequivocally that all railroads should be compelled to upholster their brakebeam!.". inconvenience In travel under present conditions is unutterable. Only a few days ajtto. In comtns: from Pendleton. Mr. Brown's delicate flnaer were nearly frozen through Clinging to the- uncushioned. unheated sides of a brakebeam. As to the car shortajre he feels this le nothing short of a public outrage. Many a night during his West tern tour Mr. Brown has been compelled. through the car shortage, to seek shelter elsewhere. Mr. Brown's stay" in Portland was nec essarily brief. At noon ho l. j ... -. icimiru nt She Cameron on "Why I Have Not Been u.iiiS taieiy." .Mr. Cameron, who had been assla-ned to the charge of Mr Brown's Oregon itinerary, then, informed him that he had Just 15 minutes in which to keep an engagement with himself outside the city limits. Mr. Brown de parted in great haste. SOCIETY loses one of its most pol ished and most valued members in the departure for South Africa tomor row of Mr. Willie Bifrroom Lockhart. prominent OaU-streot clubman and athlete. Mr. Iockhart will go by ocean, the aruest of Mr. Pete . Grant, Senator Iarry - Sullivan and others prominent In the sailors' boarding house world. While he is not com municative on the subject, it is under stood Mr. Lockhart has fallen heir to tne family villa, the abiding place of his forbears for many centuries. The villa is said to have a most command ing view, being situated, well up in a eocoanut tree. During tbe few years he has been in society Mr. Uockhart has won marked distinction by his renned and gentlemanly demeanor, having been arrested only seven times. His posi tion in the Oak-street world is most secure. Inasmuch as he is a protege of that social peeress, Madame Liverpool Elizabeth, tvho has entrusted him with full charere of her fashionable Second-street barroom. Mr. Lockhart's ability as an athlete lias often been of Ifreat value to him durinsr his social "' career, having fre quently enabled him to mainta in n. deeorum at Ma dame Liverpool'a place that might not otherwise have prevailed at all times. Before Sir. L,ork Tiart became a so- cletv man a base efTort to commer cialize his power ful ' constitution was made by sev eral vulgar ma le galists. At the time the gentleman was unhappily ltua-ted. 1-ieft an orphan at the tender age of SO he had to shift for himself for a time. His only ex perience had been derived from pump ing: the water with which his mother did the neighborhood washing. His re moval from these pen tie environs to the rough squalor of a Inmber camp, .by the plotters already mentioned, can best be imagined. But villainy was justly rewarded. Mr. Lockhart's power ful blows In the forest instantly snapped every ax handle that was given him. To save the lumber com- pany from bankruptcy tlie younp: ron- tleman was hurried back to civiliza tion where, for a few weeks, he earned a scanty livelihood by lifting- derailed locomotives back on the track. Then Mme. lliz. discovered li Im and bis fu ture was assured. Mr. Lockhart's intended ocean vov-ag-ft was never suspected until yeter- dny, when Mr. Camortjn chanced to in. vite him to spend I -x monthii at hi Iveily Butte villa, breaking rocks. Mr. liOCkiiart at once protested that lie had planned the trip to South Africa nboai'd a Dutch windjammer- nnrl In view of this fact Mr. Cameron did not Insist, ; v9 T im rumoreJ on Oak street that Hon. Jimmie Hill will leave shortly for I Salem to lobby in the interest of new tax legislation. Mr. Hill stronarly ravors the abolition of tne present tax on liquors. At this time Mr. Hill and his associates are taxed five centa a srlaas for their Doer and 15 eents & drink: for llciuors or a more satisf.vinsr nature. This is deemed a. rank injus tice, which is out of all proportion with tiie capacities of the erentlemen. "Pats a. free hooze bill and life will become worth livingr," says Mr. Hill with emphasis. "It's just as reasona ble as some of the bills they're peddling- around up there a-t Salem, and I believe I can get a lot of good sup- Dort among- the legislators."

FACTS ABOUT AMERICA (Continued from First Pe up our forest- wealUi. - The number ot these Is so great that one can readily be lieve we are consuming: 45,OW,flOO.3 feet of lumber each year. This does not take Into account the damage that is done to timber and undergrowth by forest fires. When this loss is -added to that beine- cut for domestic use, for export, for tele graph and telephone poles, for cross ties and fuel, and for timbers to be used in mining: operations, it is said that our Na tional supply of timber can hardly last more than 20 years. One in 2,000,000 Killefl. While the loss of life from railroad dis asters in the United States is great, the statistics show that only one person out of every 2.000.000 that are carried is killed by accident. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway is said to hold the record for safety, it having: never killed a pas senger inside one of its coaches for CO years. The United States already has nearly half of the railroad mHeaee In the world, and durinaj six months of last year 2298 miles of new track was laid. The fact that we used $4,000,000 railroad ties in 12 months shows where a large part of our timber supply is troiugr. The first railroad In the United States ot which there Is Indisputable record Is that built by Thomas Deiper at his stone quarry in Delaware Oounty. "Pennsyl vania. This was in 1S09. and it is possible that Silas Whitney's track on Beavon street. In Boston, was laid two years earlier than this. The highest percentage of rented houses in the United States is found in Wash ington, D. C. Three-fourths of the private families in that city live in rented homes. Next to the District of Columbia the state with the luraest percentage of rented homes is Rhode Island, and after that South Carolina. The Southern states all rank hisrh as renters because of the negroes. Tlie smallest percentage or rented homes is found in North Dakota. South Dakota and Oklahoma. America's Neglected Peaks. For years past Americans have been "running over" to Europe to see moun tains which, compared with the Rockies, are like a side show to a circus. In Col orado alone there are ldu mountain peaks that are over 13.000 feet highj which is ten times more than there are in all of Kurope. High peaks are so numerous In that state that there are 72 monsters which have never been named. For bij? mountains, and lots of them. Colorado puts Kurope in the second division with out a contest. Irrigation is doing wonders for the West. The farmer who irrigates doesn't have to wait or pray for rain he simply turns on the moisture whenever he needs it. Those who have had experience claim that it is no more difficult to learn to Irrigate than it is to run a self-binder or a hay press. Any man with enough sense to know that water won't run up hill will get along all right. Among the little points to be remembered is not to put too much water on potatoes and plenty of it on tomatoes. An authority wlio is familiar with the subject esti mates that there is enough unsettled land in what is known as the Pacific Coast states, counting from Colorado west, to make homes for as many people as now live in the whole United States. I' rule Sum's Big Domain. Although he f.t constantly disponing of large tracts of land. Uncle Sam still has much territory on his hands. Last year lie disposed of nearly 20,000.000 acres at the rate -of SS cents an aero. Kxperts say that in the course of time lie will begin to reclaim the swamps, as well as desert sands, and when all thee schemes for reclamation get under way no one can say how mar.y more millions of people can be accommodated. It Is hard to understand the reason for coining the phrase "Poor old Missouri." This state is now supplying 92 per cent of the soft lead mined In this country: during the last 13 years she has captured "' per cent of all premiums offered for fine Hereford cattle; she is the first anions the states in value of farm prop erty: she has the largest available school fund of any state except Texas: and she has the largest stock farm and the great est apple orchard in the world.
