R. D. Humo. the millionaire nalmnn
packor of Curry County, and known
throughout the state as the kin of Roftue
River, is reported to be dyln. at his

He is sufforlng from a severe attack of

the wife and two nephews, one In
Seattle and the other at Wedderburn.
Mr. Hume has occupied an unique
position In Oregon. He is known as
the "King of Rogue River.'" and In
reality has lived up to the title given
Mm. When he first came to the Coast
lie made the trip by way of Panama
and was not without money. His can
nery on Rogue River paid extensively
and he acquired great wealth. He be
came the owner of over 6000 acres of
valuable Curry County land and to
day puys one-stxth of the taxes of the
entire county. He practically controls
the financial affairs of the locality.
Mr. Hume first built a cannery at
Gold Beach. This was burned in 189J.
and he built another and more modern
plant at Wedderburn. He recently
constructed a $35,000 cold storage
plant and owns and operates the only
private fish hatchery In Oregon.
The Hume home at Wedderburn Is a
spacious one and besides this, Mr.

however, have been chiefly in Curry
County and he spends most of his time

the Wedderham Radium, and Is now
published as a weekly. It has been
said of Mr. Hume that he held large
tracts of land without developing or
opening them to settlement, but a few
months ago the salmon king offered
to actual settlers tracts of land with
house, cattle and other livestock to
any good cltlsens who would come to
Curry County to live. A number of
persons took advantage of the gener
ous pffer made by Mr. Hume.
lurlng recent months Mr. Hume has
made frequent vlsys to Coos Bay. He
has shown a spirit to enter into the
general development work of Southern

JancigaJ la an. Austrian, and was
employed in the paper mills. He was
infatuated with pretty Mary Smrekar,
who spurned his advances because Jan

smiled on young Charles Koman. This

"TIPS" PULLMAN'S PROFIT ?
rOMPAXT EXPECTS PORTERS TO
WORK PUBLIC, SAYS HOFK.
State Labor Commissioner Believes
lie Has Inside Facts In Car
Corporation's Figures.
SAIJiM. Or.. Nov. IS. (Special.) That
the Pullman Company expects Its porters
and waiters to "work" the public for a
large part of their compensation, and
probably for more, is the opinion ex
pressed by State Labor Commissioner O.
P. Hoff in his biennial report to the Leg
islature. That the company receives a
part of the "tips" is a deduction Mr.
Hoff makes from the fact that the gross
receipts of the company In Oregon, as
reported to the State Treasurer, amounts
to tl..l. while the amount paid out in
wages alone, as shown by the report to
the Labor Commission, almost equals that
amount. Mr. Hoff summarizes the report
of the Pullman Company and comments
thereon, as follows:
"This bureau has been unable to get
exact figures paid by the general public
in tips. Wages of porters, upon which
they have to live and clothe themselves
In bright new uniforms, are $30 a month
for tourist and tS In standard sleepers;
waiters working under the same condi
tions. The company expects them to work
the public for the balance of wages. The
gross earnings of this company, as report
ed to the State Treasurer of Oregon,
amounts to $S1.0S5.1. or praotlcally the
amount paid for salaries and wages. It
is possible, though we are unable to
learn, that the tips, exceeding a fair re
muneration, are turned over to the com
pany and form the profits on their in

ber schedules, which became eiTective
October 15, have established rates from

authorized by the Commission.
Into this territory the Commission
authorized an advance over the old rate,
to begin at the Pembina line and In
crease gradually until the Mississippi
River was readied, and there the maxi
mum Increase should be only 5 cents.
Specht contends that the increase shotlld
be graduated, but cites the schedules to
siiow that throughout most of this ter
ritory the roads have imposed tho maxi
mum rate: that It is points :) miles west
of the Mississippi River that are now
compelled to pay the same rate as points
on the river.

Reach an Understanding.

between Baker City merchants and the
O. R. & N. Company, J. P. O'Brien. M. J.

mill here. It is said that some officials
of the railroad discoursed the mill pro
ject, calling attention to the fact that a
waterpower mill at North Powder, only a

part of the time. When this Information

build sidetracks for tho new mill as first
outlined. They also called attention to
the new depot to be erected soon, which
Is to. be patterned after the Walla Walla
depot. Everything seemingly was ad
justed in an amicable way.

Scheme to Prevent Dishonesty
in Primaries.
GIVE ALL AN EQUAL SHOW
Principle of Proportional Represen
tation Would, It Is Believed, En
courage Each Voter to Regis
ter True Party Principles.
BY A. VT. PRESCOTT.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 13. (Special.) A
plan has been suggested which, if found
practicable in other respeccs, would
solve the problem of preventing mem
bers of one party from registering as
members of another party, and at the
same time furnish a basis for distrib
uting representation on a proportional
principle. The plan Is that each party
shall be assured representation in the
Legislature in proportion to its regis
tration. This woull induce every voter
to register honestly his party affiliation
and at the same time determine fairly
and equitably what representation each
party shall have. Under such a sys
tem. If any Democrat registered false
ly as a Republican, his party associates
would censure him, instead of encour
aging him, as has been done in the
past.
In practice the plan would wafk
something like this: If a legislative
district had five Representatives to
elect, and the party strength as shown
by The registration should -be three to
two, the Republicans would be entitled
to three Representatives and the Demo
crats two. Nominations would be made
in the usual manner, and the election
conducted a now. but after the votes
had been counted, the three highest Re
publican candidates and the two high
est Democratic candidates would be de
clared elected.
Any plan of proportional representa
tion would requl-e the formation of
districts large enough to entitle them
to about three Representatives, at least.
Proportional representation would be
impossible in districts with only one
Representative, and In most cases, a
fair distribution could not be made in
districts with as few as two Repre
sentatives. Exact proportion would be
Impossible in almost every instance, for
the odd Representative would always
be allotted to the party having the
larger fraction of the number of vot
ers taken as a basis of apportionment.
Thus, if a district had 7000 voters and
five Representatives, with the party
strength divided thus, Republicans 4100,
Democrats 2000, Prohibitionists 500, So
cialists 400, each party would be enti
tled to one Representative for each
1400 voters. The Republicans would be
entitled to two Representatives, with
1300 votes to spare; the Democrats
would he entitled fo one Representa
tive, with 600 votes to spare. Neither
of the minor parties would have a ma
jor portion of the number of voters
required. This would give the Repub
licans threo and the Democrats two
Representatives.
The plan of basing proportional rep
resentation upon registration has been
discussed by men w.io have given some
thought to the subject, and though it
Is open to some objections, its advan
tages 'are thcught to be as many and
as strong as those of any other plan
of dividing representation among the
parties.
