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-

;iml swear ity the Rods of truth that the

" never saw tlie bill." said County
.T.i.lan Webster, "tut I saw some notes

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. I'm not
for It."
County Clerk Fields Denies Bill.
And now It la up to Frank 3. Fields.

the county officials say the bill that

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

After being- handled roua-hly. stripped of

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

had been assla-ned to the charge of Mr

him that he had Just 15 minutes in which
to keep an engagement with himself

his forbears for many centuries. The
villa is said to have a most command

During tbe few years he has been

marked distinction by his renned and
gentlemanly demeanor, having been

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

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

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

that Silas Whitney's track on Beavon

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.

A complexion beautitler that ist not only
