This, he said, had been in the face of bitter opposition and some misrepre sentation. The county and this court have built 52 miles of heavy grades for roads and have graded altogether 292 miles. These roads extend to every section of the county and were built by warrants, the present law not al lowing bond issues for such purposes. Phil S.

In response to a request from Representa tive Hawley, Attorney-General Craw ford today furnished an opinion rela tlve to a contract to sell lands formerly Included in the Siletz Indian Reserva tion, declaring the scheme one to de feat the interest of settlers. "Complying with your request of re cent date," says the Attorney-General, "I have examined the contract purport lng to be given by one George H. Glade, of Joplln. Mo., to one A. M. Haswell, of Springfield, Mo., dated February 15, 1912, purporting to grant to the said Haswell the right to purchase and sell for one year from date thereof certain lands situate In the rollowlng town ships (here setting out the townships ) and containing in the aggregate 112, 640 acres of land. Contract la Described. The contract is in the nature of an option to purchase and as we under stand same, covers land formerly in oluded in the Siletz Indian reservation but was, a few years since, thrown open to settlers, who entered the same under the homestead laws of the unitea States, and have made final proofs and oavment". but have not yet received patents, for the reason that the said contract was recorded in the county in which said lands are situate and pur nortnri to crive rieht to sell same, which is contrary to the tenor and spirit of the homestead laws. "Upon Investigation I find that said option has been released and release recorded In said county, mat Me re lease was procured tobe filed without the knowledge of the settlers, that the ODtion In the first place also was exe cuted and placed of record without any authority of any- settler and without any legal right to execute or record r h a m m A. "Under the circumstances the option never created anv lien or interest in snirl lands nor anv part of the same. It the said George H. Glade received anv money or more valuable thing from said A M. Haswell for said option then he can be arrested and punlsnea ior Acirrlntr monev under false pretenses. If either party has sold lana tney cuuiu be prosecuted for selling property which did not belong to mem. Perpetrator Not Liable Here. "However, they have committed no crime for which they can be appre hended in Oregon and looking at the option closely, the thought suggests itself to my mind that It is a scheme by which some person, uiaae, is em nlnvH b s. syndicate of capital or other interested parties who desire to secure said lands in lieu of other land which may have been lost out of lands granted to some railroad corporation or other land grant company. "If they can cast a cloud upon the tiAr's rood faith and Induce the land department to cancel the right of the settler, then the land of course would be open to be selected or taken in some other way. "I am making this suggestion with out havlne- examined the act which al lowed these lands to be settled upon, it Q v ha thnt thev cannot be taken except under the homestead laws; if so, then I am unable to account, ior mo execution of sucn option, dui h i e rtont that it was executed in the inter est of some person who desired to de feat the interest of the settlers and again render the land a part of the pub lic domain.

If French shipping summons the energy to work Brest properly, the results may be far reaching for the rest of Europe. It li certain, for instance, that nine-tenths of the North American traffic for tn continent of Europe, and practically all the traffic for Central and South Amer. ica could be diverted via Brest, if Brest were made the French Liverpool. For the time being Brest is entirely asleep, except for the naval arsenal. ONE LONE, BRAVE WOMAN Sophie Wright, Cripple, Educator, Benefactor.' Indianapolis News. Sophie Wright of New Orleans, died the other day some say of a broken heart because of an agitation against naming a city school for her. This was doubtless an exaggeration since she had been in ill health for a year that is, ill health even for her. Here Is what nature did for her and what she did for herself: She was crippled by a fall when 3 years old and spent her life In a steel harness, hobbling about on crutches. Poverty also was her portion. She taught in a private school during the day so that she could run her free night school. At 14 she opened a school for girls, teaching in the afternoon in the normal school to get money to pay for her lessons in languages. When she was IS, a young man, ashamed of his ignorance, came to her to be taught. This gave her an idea, and she borrowed 110,000 with which to open a night school for other young men. Bankruptcy threatened A banker loaned her a new $10,000 to pay the old. After another year she bad a thousand pupils In her night school. Bad boys off the street were her specialty. She made them over. Soon everybody knew about her, and she branched out into similar work in schools and hospitals. She was born in 1886. She died at the age of 26. Practically all her life she was a crip ple, and, not this only, but a sufferer from asthma, so that she could hardly spend two hours a night in bed. It was said of her that she "led the most effective and the most beautiful life that New Orleans has known in this generation." This was a life that comes now and again oftener in women than in men, perhaps to renew our faith in human ity, to make us stand in awe of the mysterious ways of God. Down th centuries comes the question of the Master: "Could ye not watch a little wiiile?" At a supreme crisis stout men could not even watch a little while. Do we, the average among us, blessed with all that goes for equipment In the battle of life, do any better than this? Do we even watch a little while? What, then, shall we say in the face of such a vision as this? Simple Sophli Wright! Think of 23 years of physical torture! Many of those called "brave men" would have made an end of it all. That ls. would have deserted. Sophie Wright stayed in the ranks where she was put, accepted the lot that was apportioned to her, and, as if to show her faith and full obedience, made this world where she lived and suffered a better place for thousands to live in, and in so doing aid a worK that few with every equipment have done. One lone, twisted, tortured worn an. drawing her breath In pain, car ried the light with a steady hand. What martyr has done more? A tithe of her courage and self-denial would rid this world of all that we can evil, lilt up the heart that is bowed down, ana make for us a place where there is no more sorrow. Perhaps one lesson is that we need not prosperity out adver sity, not gratification but sultering. A WEEK IN WALL STREET BREST MAY BE MAIN PORT Frenchman Plans to Make Harbor Chief One in Europe. Paris. July 20. (Special.) M. Claude Caslmir-Perier. son of the late President of the republic, is at the head of an undertaking, which. If carried out, should be of extreme importance to French shipping and to the world's shipping. The wonder is tnat tne scheme nas never yet oeen imtn seriously. It is one for making Brest the main European harbor for trans atlantic traffic. The natural advantages or .Brest s nnsltlon are obvious. The port is the nearest European point to the whole of America, Northern. Central and South ern. Its natural roadstead is a mag- Lnificent one, and could be . made ;0 Prices Bulge When News Come Mor gan Has "Fired" Employe. T.lfa When the news came at the opening Monday that Mr. Morgan had discharged one of bis stenographers, there was general confusion. It was claimed by some of the more invidious that insiders had had- news of the event as long as a fortnight ago. On the whole, however. the street was taken completely by sur. prise. The street very much dislikes to be taken by surprise, for that compels it to discount an event after It has hap pened, which is very annoying, prices bulged. On Tuesday It was reported that Mr. Ryan was trying to get control of the Goddess of Liberty. There nas been feeling for some time that the Goddess of Liberty should be controlled, bonded, stocked, watered and underwritten by someone. It only remained for a finan cier with sufficient initiative and an nexing power to perfect the details. Upon being interviewed in regard to the matter Mr. Ryan aeniea everytnmg. This was taken as positive proof that th.e report was correct, and prices un derwent a distinct metamorphosis. The greater part of Wednesday ana Thursday was consumed in a discussion of the new arbitration treaty between St. Paul and Minneapolis. The feud that has existed between these two commu nitie for so many years has had a very depressing effect on the shorts of the new railroad, which has not yet been built, between Chowchow, in the Prov ince of Slngslng, and Oomya, in the Province of Tutut. If this railroad can be built and a satisfactory working ar rangement can be brought about be tween Minneapolis and Bt. Paul, many shrewd analysts are of the opinion that it will have a profound effect on a num ber of the leading stocks in general and on the general market in particular. This remains to be seen, and in the meantime prices have been duly cau tioned to hold themselves in readiness for the worst. Prices signified their as sent to this tentative arrangement.. Friday's market exhibited many un usual tendencies of a kind that have been so common lately that they have ceased to excite comment. Prices seemed satisfied with themselves. The bank statement, which arrived on Saturday, looked tired and haggard, as if it had been trying to elude the money trust investigation. ORIGIN OF SAVINGS BANK An English Clergyman Known as the Father of the Idea. Harper's Weekly. The savings bank Is thought to owe Its existence to a suggestion made by the author of "Robinson Crusoe," al though De Foe did not live to see the realization of his scheme. It was in 756. in Brunswick, Germany, that the first savings bank was organized. A few years later another institution of the kind, solely for the use of servants, was set up in Switzerland. Soon the idea took root in other countries and became popular. Eng land lagged behind considerably, and it was not until the end of the 18th cen tury that such a bank appeared, when one for children was organized by Pris cilla Wakefield, an enterprising resi dent of Tottenham. This proving a success, four years later Mrs. Wake field widened the scope of her plan by receiving deposits from adults: She had at first the assistance of six men acting as trustees, but as her business, increased, so did the number of trustees. The Wakefield banks allowed interest at the rate of 5 per cent on sums of S5 and upwards, provided money was not withdrawn within 12 months. The next in the field was a clergy man, who instituted a "Frugality Bank," so called at the suggestion of Bentham. the political writer, who for a Ions time had been Advocating tja mk (lill f tbe boss refuses to raise your salary; on't be barsb with him. i. t .

Duncan, of Rothwell, Is, owever, generally credited with being the "father of the -saving banks," as such institutions are at present under stood and conducted. There may still be seen at Ruth, in Dumfriesshire, the tiny whitewashed cottage wherein Dr. Duncan established his bank. A Xew Industry. Judge.

It is difficult to determine the cause 1 of most aeroplane accidents, but dur ing the investigation which followed the fatal accident to Lieutenant Sevelle recently in France an important discov ery is said to have been made by eye-, witnesses. This was that the wing of his Blerlot broke downward instead of upward, indicating that there was an extreme downward pressure as the op erator started to volplane. Experi ments lately made in Francs are said to have confirmed this, and it Is now believed to be necessary to guy the wings as substantially above as below. HOW TO PRESERVE YOUTH AND BEAUTY. One great secret of youth- and beauty ior the yoan( woman or the mother is the proper understanding of her womanly system and well-being. Every woman, young or old. should know kersttf and her physical make up. A good way to arrive at this knowledge is to gef good doctor book, such for instance, as '.Th People's Common Sense Medical Adviser," by R. V. Pieroe, M. D., which ean readily be procured by sending thirty-one cents for cloth-bound copy, addressing Dr. Pieroe, at Buffalo, N, Y. The womanly svstem is a delioate machine whioh esn only be com pared to tbe In tricate mechanism of a beautiful watch which will keep in good running order only with good car and the proper oiling at the right time, so that the delicate mech anism may not De worn out. v cry many times young women get old or run down before their time through ignorance and the improper handling of this human mechanism. Mental depression, a confused head, backache, headache, or bot flashes and many symptoms of derangement of the womanly system can be avoided by a proper understanding of what to I do, in those trying times that coma to all women. Mrs. G. H. 'Wn.UAHS, of Lynnhsven, Va wrote: It is six year since my health save way. I had female trouble and oil the doctori ( I employed threa ) mld 1 would die.
