Governor Writ today save .oat a statement in wbicli he declares that any man who takes the obligation under that law aid form bark to his National conven tion and violates the law. Is a "crook." He states that the law la "as plain a the oosa on yonr face." and that there can be no doubt as to Its mean In and Intent. la Issuing" a statement today as to the law. Governor Wen says: "The law savs: "The members of the political parties subject to this Jaw shall elect their party delegates to their Xatlonai conventions for the nomina tion of their party candidates for President and Vice-President of t!ie United rUat. and ahall nominate can didates for their party Presidential electors at such nominating election. The Governor shall arrant a certificate of election to each or the delegates no elected, which certificates shall show the number of votes received in the state by each person of such delegate's political party for nomination as Its candidate for President and for Vice President. Every such delegate to a National convention to nominate can didates for President and Vice-President shall subscribe an oath of office hat he will uphold the Constitution and laws of the I'nlted Statea and of the State of Oregon, and that he will, as such officer and delegate, to tha best of his Judgment and ability, faith fully carry out the wishes of his po litical party as expressed by Its voters at the time of his election.' "The law is as plain as the nose on your face. It means just what It says. It means that the members of a political party elect their delegates to the Na tional convention and at tha same time make known their wlahea as to their preference for President and Vice President, and the delegates elected are ablixet to take a solemn obligation that they will, to the best of their abil ity, carry out the wishes of the mem bers of their party as expressed at tba polls. "The man who takes this obligation, no matter whether he la a Democrat, a Republican, a Socialist or a member of any other party, and goes back to his National convention and violates It Is a crook and a perjurer, the opinion of the Attorney-General notwithstanding. "I know mort of the men who huve been elected as delegates to tha several conventions, and I would be greatly surprised to hear that Any of them had followed the curbstone opinion of the Attorney-General and violated tho sol emn obligations taken to abide by tha wishes of the people of this state."

From Cordova I went to Kenntcott by rallwajr. and then from vnuna. a point on me line. I com menced the aled trip overland. An Indian guldo was my only companion, and wo took tho trail on fnowshoos, with a single dog team. "Of course no one can travel over land In the Summer in Alaska. The Winter trail, with all Its dangers and hardships, is the only one. On tho sled we packed tho tent and tho sleep ing bags and the staple food, beans, with tea. rice, flour and bacon. The beans are cooked before the start, and are frosen separately, because to expert opportunity for cooking, and even for warming your food.

A pros pector had been froxen to death in his cabin, and we found him and the body of his rat. his only companion, by his aid Exhaustion and starvation had done for him. We turned back and had his body brought to Chltna and I read the burial service over him. "We took th trail again and went up through the region of the Copper River Indiana. These people are in desperate need. Their hunting and trapping grounds have been overrun by the whit men. and they fac famine each year. Once the Government had to send food Into the region or every one of them would have perished. They live by taking Ash and caribou and moose and even lynxes, but most of the three or four hundred of tha tribe are wasted by disease. I used my practice of den tistry and doctoring to good purpoe among them. I pulled teeth and did all that I could for their comfort. "From the Copper River region oyr trail ran through the mountain passes and along tho slopes of Mount Wrang c;i. which Is always smoking. When we camped at night we had to take car to pick a spot where thera was least chance of being overwhelmed by an avalanche. We could hear sev eral-each night crashing down the slopes and carrying away trees and alL I'urtng the day they were a constant fear.

Hi Style Always Adequate to Sub ject Matter He Handles. . Century. Much of Browning's obscurity, harsh ness and uncouthness falls immedi ately Into its proper place, is, indeed. necessary, as he believed that evil was a necessity in the progress of the world. Tba proof of his true greatness, not aa a philosopher, thinker, psycholo gist, but as a poet, lies in the simple fact that when the subject matter he handles is beautiful or sublime, his style is usually adequate to the situ ation. "The Ring and the Book." for ex- amnle. must be taken as a whole. It Is full of exquisite beauty, amaxlng felicity of expression, fluent rhythm and melody; full also of crudities. Jolts, harshness, pedantry, wretched witti cisms and coarseness. Why these con trasts? Because it Is a study of human testimony. Th lawyers talk like tire some, conceited pedants because they were tiresome, conceited pedants: Pom- pills speaks like a spiritual woman In love with Caponsacchl. which was ex actly her nature and her state of mind. Guldo speaks at first with well-controlled, smlllnylrony. and later rages like a wild beast caught In a spring trap. In each Instance the language of the poet Is well adapted to the sub ject. If Pompilla's dying tribute to Caponsacchl had been expressed in lan guage as dull and flat as the pleaa of tie lawyers, then we should be quite sure that Browning, whatever he was, was ne poet. HAD PEARLS WORTH $5000 Laborer's Wife Unconcernedly PnM Valuable Necklace in Hear rocket New Tork World. While Mrs. Henry Vaugban. of 4S Reynolds terrace. Orange, for two days mourned the loss of a $5000 neck lace and the police were busy on the case, ail but five of the smaller pearls of the string were In the pocket of a gingham apron worn by Mrs. Salvatore Stoppanello. of 13 7 South Jefferson street. Orange. Moppanello. who la a railroad laborer, picked up the broken string Of pearls near the Orange atatlon of th Lacka wanna. He took them home to his wife, who was not at all impressed with the find, he dropped them un concernedly Into the pocket of her apron, where they reposed until Ie tectlve John Praboll called. Th presumption Is that the string broke as Mrs. Vaughan got aboard the 11:4 A. M. train for New York and that the necklace lay unnoticed on the car stepg until Jsrred off after the train started. It Is considered remark able that only five, snd they th smaller of the TT pearls, should have been lost. If they. too. fell from the steps of th rar, they are now beneath a covering of snow. -The police may make an effort to find them. Draboll said, he withheld the name of his informant' at the latter own re quest. Th information came through some one who knew that Stoppanello had the pearls and suspected they were of the missing necklace. He gave the tip to Praboll s Informant, and the lat ter probably will receive a reward of 11000 offered by Mrs. Vaughan. A .':Vl j ; : v .

The modulation syatem of steam heating, winch haa been applied so suc cessfully to office builitlnfcs and similar structure, has entered the field of apartment-house heating. Hot water systems, particularly In New Kng.und, have proved unsatisfactory on tnu whole, because of the sluggishness of circulation and the fact that with the exceedingly rapid temperature changes peculiar to trie climate it is imost impossible to attain satisfac tory' control of the heating. Plain steam heating, on the other hand, aiiapts itself readily to temperature changes nd smaller pipes and radiators can be used than is the case with hot water. But this system has important draw backs. Both valves must be wide open or tight shut, otherwise water ham. mer and various similar troubles wll develop. Accordingly, it the steam is on. the entire radiator Is at a tern peratur of 21! degrees or thereabout. nd if th valves are closed the rad iator rapidly cools and th apartment aoon becomes chilly. To overcome these difficulties and at the same time retain all the auvan tages 0f the quick action of steam the modulation system of steam heating was designed. By means of an auto matlc discharge trap on the return end of the radiator, combines with fractional inlet valve. It is possible to vary the amount of radiator surface in action without backing up of the con densation and consequent noises and other disagreeable manifestations from the radiator. The water seat motor or discharge tap Is entirely automatic nd therefore, although this la a two- pipe system, only one hand operated valve at each radiator is necessary The automatic return valve or trap discharges the condensed steam and air to the return line, but prevents steam from passing, so that the amount of steam admitted to the radiator and herefore the proportion of surface in action may be regulated entirely by setting the modulation valve. This heating system, as Installed In the Sumner apartments at Newton Center, Mass.. Is exceedingly simple both In design and operation. Although not a vacuum system the ystem operates on a Aound or less boiler pressure because the sealing of he radiator returns in the manner In dicated insures a differential pressure between the Inlet and d.scbargs of each radiator, and therefore a positive flow. The building is three stories and basement with two five-room apart ments on each floor. The basement contains, besides the heating plant and storerooms, living-rooms for the jani tor and provision for additional serv ants' bedrooms. In tha northwest cor ner of the basement is the heating plant, consisting of an 870 Mott t-'un-ray boiler with a grate SIxlO Inches. Near the boiler Is the hot water service heater connected with a large hot water storage tank. From the boiler a steam main runs across the basement and connects with steam header located at either side. Four risers are taken off each header. These run the full height of the bulld- ng to the third floor snd the return lines are Joined in the attio by a three- uarter-lnch ring header which serves as a vent line to the atmosphere. The method of piping In use in this particular Installation Is wiiat is known as a wet return system. An th steam lir nea are tinder a slight pressure and he returns are vented to the atmos phere In the manner described, the water line in the returns Is necessarily somewhat higher than in the supply nri and In the boiler. The total radiating surface in this uildlng Is 1117 square feet, snd th cost of Installing the modulation sys- em was only slightly greater than that of a plain gravity system. The sys tem has been operating during the past Winter andhas proved entirely satis factory Not only has Its operation been noiseless and the extent t the ra- j dlator surface easily controllable In each room, but a decided raving in coal has also been made possible. As proved In a recent test at Mon treal. Canada, on the operation of the modulation system. Its action is such that the amount of coal burned becomes less ss the outdoors te-nperature rises, and vice versa. This is, of course, tha logical way for any heating system to operate, but It Is not attained In actual practice with the plain gravity system because of th Inability to regulate th average radiator temperature with plain valves. Th many comforts and conveniences of apartment hcuse life are added to materlallv by the Intro duction of this system, by which exact ly th right amount of hest can be ob tained at all times.

It Is all coal and it looks about the same to him. But there is a great deal of differ ence In the heating qualities of various sorts of fuel, as experts know and earn money explaining to others. The fuel elements in coal consist of carbon and sulphur, and there are also ash. mois ture and foreign matter. The expert's first duty Is to determine the exact pro portions of these elements In a given sample of coal. To do this he will make use of an elaborately fitted up laboratory in which he will make a careful observa tion and then report on ita burning qualities and the percentage of heat that can be gotten from It under proper circumstances. The determination of these circumstances forms another phase of the combustion expert's labor. It Is a common thing for an expert to be called into a big manufacturing plant or an office building to deter mine why there Is so much trouble with the boilers and find that most element al requirement lacking air. He finds that in pretentious buildings and oc casionally In factoriea the architect has given weeks of his time to the planning of the exterior and the decoration of halls or the lighting of the place, if It Is to be used for manufacturing pur poses, an then has put the boilers any place at all without any reference to the air supply. And coal needs air to make it bum. Frequently he finds that there has been no provision for the visits of the coal dealer and the bins are so small that a dally visit from the coal wagon becomes a necessity in severe weather. The expert Is often able to remedy the defect, but sometimes he finds that architectural obstacles put In his way are practically insurmountable. The only thing he can do then is to recom mend a sort of coal that will give the best results that could be obtained under such unfortunate circumstances..- Coals with a high percentage of carbon can be burned successfully in most fur naces where there Is a sufficient supply of air. and aometlmes the Installation of a better ventilation system surmounts , a difficult- that has seemed baffling.
