MNED BY JURY
HOOD RIVER, Or.. Nov. 10. (Spe
cial.) A grand jury probe of alleged
infraction of the corrupt practice act
by supporters of H. L. Habrouck,
republican nominee for county judge,
who was elected last Tuesday, ended
today. The investigation which be
gan Monday resulted in no indict
ments but the grand jury publicly
reprimanded the following men:
C. N. Ravlin, formerly secretary of
the Hood River commercial club and
chief of horticulture for Oregon at
the Panama-Pacific International ex
position; Judge R. C. Glanville, prom
inent attorney; Roy D. Smith, repre
sentative of Hood River county on
the Oregon republican state commit
tee, and E. R. Bradley, printer.
Defeated Rival Asks Probe.
The investigation was demanded by
J. O. Hannum, defeated independent
candidate, who claims as false the
statements of postal cards mailed out
a few days before the election charg
ing that he was a candidate of cor
porate interests and naming by in
timation at least the Oregon-Washington
Railroad & Navigation com
pany, the Mount Hood Railroad com
pany and the Oregon Lumber com
pany. The report of the grand jury in part
is as follows:
"We find that some of the state
ments contained in said card are false
and not based on any information
which a reasonable man should accept
in so serious a matter as true and
refer particularly to the second para
graph of this card, reading as follows:
" 'Why is it that all the bills for
advertising, printing and other ex
penses connected with the aforesaid
campaign are being paid by Charley
Early of the Oregon Lumber com
pany?' Practice Not New.
-We further find and so report that
the general tenor of this card by rea
son of the poorly concealed innuendos
and inferences which a reasonable
man would draw from the reading
thereof are unfair and reprehensible
in the extent and this is particularly
true in view of the fact that it further
appears that this literature was pub
lished to the voters at an extremely
late date before the election and with
the intent and purpose of a surprise
attack. We do not feel out of order
to state further- that it also appears
that such practices have to some ex
tent prevailed in the past.
"We further find that one C. N.
Ravlin is the author and prime mover
in this reprehensible undertaking and
Roy D. Smith and R. C. Glanville by
counsel, advice and approval aided
and abetted this undertaking. We
further find that no attempt was
made nor thought given to the serv
ice of these charges being made upon
the opposing candidate and through
out the entire incident a spirit of un
fairness was evidenced.
Printer la Reprimanded.
"We further, find that said card was
printed by E. R. Bradley and that it
fails to bear on its face the name and
address of the printer thereof.
'Based on the foregoing findings
which we have made we desire to
make certain statements and recom
mendations in very positive terms and
in this connection desire to say that
we thoroughly realize the responsi
bility placed upon us as the highest
inquisitory body of this county and
that we feel that in such matters
affecting public peace we are charged
with additional and imperative duty
of service to the interest and future
welfare of the county in a corrective
way.
"We feel that a continuation of
such practices as have been brought
to light by this investigation would
tend to complete nullification of the
statutory provisions of the corrupt
practice act. We have in mind the
conditions which prevailed prior to
the passage of that legislation and of
the abuse of the franchise at which
the corrupt practice act was aimed.
Surprise Attacks Condemned.
. t would indeed be a deplorable
situation if after .what has been
achieved in a progressive way toward
the purification of the ballot Hood
River county should take the lead in
announcing a return to methods con-
u tun iiea oy ail rair-oninded men.
"We also desire to say that we have
no patience with nor tolerance for
eieventn nour attacks UDon th
tive. character or intABritu nf o

convictions may be. Our system of

"We feel the best interests of this
community to be served by publicly
calling to bar of public opinion those
who participate in such practices
whether unthoughtedly or with desire
ana max any more drastic action
could only tend to dissension and un

WASTE B0EDENS ROADS
EXPERT DECLARES ECONOMY
VITAL RAILWAY, PROBLEM.
Cost Accounting System and Labor
Control by Experienced Man
agers Xecessary to Success.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 10. (Spe
cial.) Following the completion of
the survey for the actual value of
the railways, a uniform cost account
ing system must be applied if the car
riers are to show reduction' of ex
penses and reasonable revenue, ac
cording to Dean S. J. Miller of the
University of Washington in a lunch
eon address at the Transportation
club Monday on "Federalized Control
of Railroads." !
The speaker said that waste must
be- eliminated, men. must be placed
in control of labor who understand
the industrial problems and there
must be more personnel.
The fault of the railways today
is that general managers, selected
from the operating departments, are
in charge of the labor, a mistake
from the standpoint of eff iciency,"
said Dean Miller. "Training in
economics is required. We have
reached the stage where experience
alone does not make for efficiency
and a single individual no longer can
begin his career by sweeping out and
then pass through the various phases
to .the top. The American business
is now too complicated for that.
"There is plenty of room for per
sonnel. It would pay the carriers to
establish departments with men at
the head who understand the labor
problem; men who can look backward
as well as forward in arriving at
solutions."

The Northwest Reclamation league,

For over fifty years some of Dr. Pierce's home medicines have
been selling over the drug counters, so that more than forty-eight
million bottles have been sold during that time. ,This speaks well for
the reliability and value of Dr. Pierce's standard home remedies. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a blood tonic and strength
builder which contains no alcohol, yet has tonic qualities that have
endeared it to the American public. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets,
composed of May-apple, aloes and jalap, have long been considered
a reliable vegetable laxative, in the same way that Dr. Pierce's Favor

Dr. Pierce's namely, Anurio (anti-uric-acid), has been successfully

CLEAR UP UGLY SKIN
Irritation and Breaking Out
Often Healed Over Night,
Says Skin Specialist.
Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-Sulphur,
says a noted skin specialist. Because
of its germ-destroying properties,
nothing has ever been found to tako
the place of this sulphur preparation
that instantly brings ease from the
itching, burning and irritation.
Mentho-Sulpnur heals eczema right
up, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the torment,
or disfigurement. A little jar of Men-
tho-Sulphur may be obtained at any
drug store. It is used like cold cream.
