Attorney McCann asked mercy for his client on the ground that Roe is a cripple and not a bad man at heart. The attorney held a letter in his hand, from Roc's aunt in the East. This he told the court showed that Roe had received excellent training from re ligious parents and was formerly an exemplary young man. He said Roe recently come here from the East and fell in with bad companions. These persons. Mr. McCann intimated, had a hand in forging the checks. He said the court should also take into con sideration that Hoe had not "peached" on his companions. Hans Nelson was arraigned on a charge of contributing to the delin quency of a 10-year-old girl.

I noticed in lat Sunday's Oreg-onlan ref erence made to the coming of Swift's plant and the building of a mammoth packing plant at "St. John, also concerning the pros perity which would acorue to Portland on that account. It eeeme to me that the proposition la -worthy of analysis. When the Swift Company builds its plant, many men at present out of work can And it directly on tho g-round. Trade along all lines of building material will improve. The impetus given the labor and material market will be felt In the food market. -clothlm? market and along- all lines of busi ngs. When men are in a position to buy. others may produce their specialty 'and all may work and live. So far all have bene fited. Each has Riven value for value, serv ice for service, or a fair exchange has taken plan - - The workman has given his labor for his whp. The dealers in material exchange lumber, cemen steel, etc., for money, the dealers In food exchange flour, crackers, bread, hutter, groceries, etc., for money. Money is merely an automatic bookkeeper. In each case, service is given for service. One other effect of this manufacturing plant has not been mentioned thus. far. Heal estate or land will rise in price. This i a question that also is worthy of analy sis, in the first place what makes the price of land ? Supply and demand ? Since this supply if fixed In quantity as well as loca tion, the, price must vary with the demand, the more people the higher the price. But If the people are not working, the price Is liable to go down, l mean the more people work the h ighcr the price of land. This seems to agree with the fact that real estate will rise when the Swift concern comes to town and puts the unemployed to work. In the above example the Swift Company starts the wheels of industry In motion, wealth is produced and distributed, giving to men the ability to rent or buy themselves a suitable home. The price of, land increases as the community increases, ami with the industry of the community. What return does the holder of vacant land make to the community for the Increase of price? I. for one. can so no evidence of a fair exchange, of service for service, or of pro ductive industry. It seems to me something like this: A man goes to work for the Swift Company. At the end of a year the man has given his labor and received his wage. The deal is square. The Swift concern has caused a rie In the price of land. The man by his industry is a part of the organiza tion, therefore a part of the cause. There fore the man by his industry causes to a certain extent, the rise in the price of land. He goes to purchase a lot on which to build Before the nYan went to work the price of the lot was $200. Now, the holder wants $'iOO. In fact, the man has produced the $100 advance In price, he has earned $lO0 which he did not get, and now In order to be al lowed the privilege of building a home, must pay the $100 for having gone, $100 "shy" in his pay. To make a long story short, that $200 lot actually cast the man $400. I can plainly see how the community has showered a number of benefits upon the holders of va cant land, hut am at loss to see how he makes a return. AH other business seems to be based on the principle of fair exchange. All other business pays more taxes than the holders of vacant land. P. S. GUIL.FORD. G00DN0W TO DIRECT WORK Probably Will Build Pacific Coast End of St. Paul Hoad. It is probable that work of building the Pacific Coast end of the Chicago. Mil waukee & St. Paul Railroad will be car ried on under the Immediate direction of C. A. Goodnow, until recently general manager of the Chicago & Alton. East ern reports are to the effect that Mr. Goodnow Is under consideration for ap pointment by President A. J. Earllng as western manager, to serve under H. R. Williams, president of the western or ganization of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. The advices from Chicago are that, while It Is probable Mr. Goodnow will accept service on the Coast extension work, "his appointment has not yet been made, and will not be made at present. Mr. Goodnow recently visited the Coast In company -with President Earllng, and the fact that their trip West was for the purpose Of Inspecting the Coast exten sion of the Milwaukee led at once to the surmise that Mr. Goodnow was to become connected with this work. The present reports, which emanate from Chicago, tend to confirm the Impression that was gained when the railroad men visited Portland and Seattle. In his capacity as western manager. If he accepts that po sition, Mr. Goodnow will have oversight of the line to be constructed to Portland as well as the road now under way to Puget Sound. Death of J. Dix. J.

Survivors Who Reached Flattery in Open Boat Went 7 0 Honrs With out - Food or Drink. - PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Feb. 21. (Special.) Wrecked with the stranding of the American ship Emily Reed when that vessel went to pieces on the rocks at the mouth of the Nehalem River February 15. the experience of three survivors who reached Cape Flattery. 200 miles distant, in an open boat, three days later, carries incidents not met with in marine ad venture outside the wildest fancies of maritime fiction. Mate Fred Zube and! Seamen Arthur Jahnke and Ewald Ablld stedt, recovering from the effects of their exposure and hardship as castaways, in the United States Marine Hospital here, relate stories that put at naught other adventures of shipwreck in the history of Pacific Coast shipping. Ole Sorlet. ship's cook, died from ex posure and thirst 50 hours after having been cast away, and 20 hours before his mates found safety in being blown Into an anchored fishing schooner at Neah bay. Wash. The sailors left the sinking ship in a 30-font metal lifeboat. Belnr thrown into the sea amid wreckage from the breaking ship, their escape from foundering in the wreckage was providential. Their outfit consisted of a single oar. and a lug sail of less than 40 square feet. A cask of water lashed to the lifeboat was cast overboard, after having been loosed of moorings by the fail of the boat, and threatened to crush the limbs Of the crew. The voyage at sea for 70 hours was one of constant hardship and unfavorable cir cumstance. Not a particle of food was had, nor was there found a drop of water to quench the thirst, of the struggling men. The boat in which the men hadi left the ship was an old one. Timbers that had fallen into it from the wrecked ship had opened many seams and caused punctures that required the use of practically all the scant clothing worn to stay the in rushing water.

Calls for aid were unheard and! unheeded. When forsaken by the steamer. Cook Sorlet gave up his fight for life. He begged and prayed for water; demoniacal ly fought his companions, who sought to prevent his drinking from the sea. Stealthily he caught the frayed end of the small sail and sucked the canvas In hops of getting relief from moisture gathered from overhanging fog. The act was suicidal, for the sail carried salt water from spray thrown over it. "The cook's death occurred in an hour, with the greatest of agony. Twenty hours later, when help was reached1, the remaining survivors were all but overcome. Another hour and they would have been unable to ask for as sistance, were such at hand. The legs and feet of all were distended and swollen beyond human proportions. Swollen tongues hung from parched throats. Hands were cut and lacerated in using for bailing a Jaggedly-cut section of one of the boat's air-tanks. So weak had the seamen of the party become when safety was reached that they were kept alive only by constant prodding and threats from Mate Zube. With a broken arm and head terribly cut. the mate handled the sail with his teeth, steered with his unbroken arm and directed every act of the rescue. .His eyes had not closed in sleep throughout the . long battle against death. flight lives were lost in the wreck. Captain Kessel, his wife, and four mem bers of the crew escaped by remaining on the after part of the ship.- This sec tion hung together until morning, when they were able to walk ashore at low tide.
