Die of Wound, ; ' , .
WAS CLOSING UP HIS SHOP
.Thieves Waited Outside, and When
Door Was Shut In Their Faces,
Fired Shot Through
the Door.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 5. Joseph
Buttsenbach, n. butcher who has a large
Shop on "Fourth street, -was shot and
probably fatally "wounded tonight about
10 o'clock by robbers. Buttsenbach and
his two sons had just finished counting
up the day's receipts-and -were preparing
to close the shop. One of the sons started
to go out the front door but he was or
dered back by a man who stood outside.
The father and the other son. carrying
the money, started out a side door, but
they were stopped by two men. They
closed the doors, shutting out the rob
bers, who fired throueh the door. A bul
let passed through the father's head. It
is thought .that he cannot live.
WAS WOMAN A MURDERER?
"Joe" Monaghan May Have Been No
torious Kate Bender.
ONTARIO. Or., March 5. That Joe
Monaghan, who herded cattle and rode
the range In this section for 25 years in
the guise of a man, and whose real sex
was not known until her death, was none
other than Kate Bender, the notorious
Kansas murderess. Is the rumor current
here. While there is no proof posltjye
that this statement is true, it is a well
known fact that Joe Monaghan appeared
at Ontario only a short time after the es
cape of Kate Bender.
It is also claimed that Mr. and Mrs.
Bender, father and mother of the no
torious Kate, and as deeply Implicated in
the multi-murders at their Kansas road
house, as was their daughter, now reside
on Snake River, not far from Ontario.
However, the Bender disappearance "has
been one of the historic mysteries of the
West, and, although, many have professed,
knowledge concerning Its true solution,
nothing authentic has ever resulted.
Who Joe Monaghan really was will prob
ably never bo known, but there Is. of
course, a chance that the truth will at
some time become known regarding her
strange life and lonely death.

C. P. CUTS LUMBER RATE.
Increase in Shipments to the East
Is Expected.
"VANCOUVER. B. a. March 5. The
British Columbia Lumber & Shingle Man
ufacturers' Association has reached an
agreement with the Canadian Pacific Rail
way, by which freight rates on East
bound lumber are reduced and the price
of lumbejr is reduced ?1 per thousand
feet all along the line of the Canadian
Paclficf Railway. The lumbermen have
for several months been seeking lower
freight rates and the C. P. R, has been
trying to induce the mills to sell lumber
cheaper to settlers in the Northwest ter
ritories. There have been mutual con
cessions. It is now expected, that there will be a
large Increase in the amount of lumber
exported from Vancouver to the terri
tories during the noxt few months. The
mills at present have on hand fairly large
Btocks of all classes and grades of lumber
and are therefore in a position immedi
ately to satisfy all possible demands.
With the mills turning out more lumber
there will come about a more prosperous
condition of -the logging industry and by
Spring lumbering and logging should be
on a better footing than they have been
for the past 14 months.
TRAINS WAIT FOR A THAW.

trains on the Montana Railway
reported yesterday in these dls
jwtches to be stalled In the spow
drifts have been located, one between Har
lowtown and Ubet, and two other trains
are tied up near Summit. The passengers,
about 20 in all, were rescued last night by
stages, which shoveled a path over the
hills to the traok. The snowplows are
unable to buffet the blizzards and nothing
but a thaw will open the road. -The
crews of the stalled trains stayed with
them, being left an ample supply of pro

days, unless a freight can get through,
the town- will be in darkness. The store
keepers have sold their last barrels of
kerosene and candles cannot be had for
love or money. Ranchers are .able to
supply some provisions, but food will be
gin to be scarce in another week. Never
In the history of the State of Montana

experienced. The passengers from the
stalled trains went by stage today to Big

GARMS HUNG OFF RIVER MOUTH
Had a Severe Shaklng-Up, ' but No
Damage Was Done.
ASTORIA, Or, March 5. (Special.)-
Captain C. B. Larson, of the four
masted schooner William P. Garms,
which arrived in last evening, came
ashore for the fir3t time this morning.
He was much amused when Informed
that his vessel had been reinsured for 10
per cent on account of her long passage.
In telling of the trip he said:
"We made a quick run up the coast,
arriving off the mouth of the Colum
bia River February 17, and on the fol
lowing day wo were picked up by the
tug Wallula. She pulled on us for a
couple of hours, until we found we
were going astern. In fact the strong
tide was carrying both the tug and
schooner to sea. Then the Wallula
let go and we stood off shore.
''Strong southerly gales followed.
Once we were driven as far north a3
Cape Flattery and again to Destruc
tion Island, which we narrowly es
caped running over. Five times we
were in striking distance of the bar,
but there was - no chance to get in.
During this time 710 damage was done
to the vessel and no one on board was
Injured. The experience was, how
ever, not a pleasant one, and I am glad
SLEEP IS PRICELESS.
But It Can Be Obtained by Simple
Methods.
Are you .a hard worker? Are you over
come with fatigue at the end of each
day's labor, and Instead of retiring to bed
with a feeling of satisfaction at the pros
pect of a night's repose, do yo.u wait the
hour of bedtime with dread and shrinking?
Is it your unhappy lot to be awakened
every night. Just after you have dropped
off to sleep, by an intense, uncontrollable
Itching of the rectum? Do you' then en
deavor to relieve the sensation by scratch
ing so desperately that the skin becomes
raw and lacerated, and you finally Blnk
Into the sleep of exhaustion?
If so, you do not need to be told that
you are afflicted with itching piles. Tou
have probably tried every remedy you
could hear Of, with Sat temporary relief,
if any, arid have -concluded " there was
nothing left-ior you- but to drag out a
miserable existence. . As a drowning man
grasps at a straw, s should you eagerly
devour the words of W. O. Mllbury 70
Pearl St,. Reading. Mass. '
"I am pleased to state that I bought one
EO-cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the
drug store, and used about one-half of
it, and it not only cured me of itching
piles, but also of constipation, a trouble
of about 15 years standing. I have tried
almost everything without any lasting
benefit, but I can honestly and truthfully
state that Pyramid Pile Cure has en
tirely cured me, as I have had no return
of that terrible itching, which used to
keep me awake by the hour, night after
night. If the old trouble should ever re
turn I will know just what to do, but I
guess it won't, for it is now six or seven
months since I first used this wonderful
remedy."
We vouch -for the authenticity of t&ls
testimonial, and as Mr. Mllbury found re
lief and a cure, so you may also. Do not
delay, but buy a box and try It tonight,
and do not allow any dealer to sell you
"something Just, as good." You -.will do
well to write Pyramid Drug Company',
Marshall, Mich., for thelr' llttle -book on
the causes and cure of piles; which is sent.

Poets Should Sing of Future Instead
of Past.
SALEM,. March L (To tho Editor.)
confess to great enjoyment in reading
most of the folk song of Great Britain
selected' for the columns of The Orego
nian, and to some sympathy with the
pathos of the translation of the Highland
Canadian boat song, used by General Sir
Ian Hamilton in addressing the High
landers, whom I suppose to be British
soldiers quartered In Canada as part of
the "DomD of British rule over It. But.
saving the expression of family Affection
and love of birthplace common to human
ity, the highest reach of the song is man
worship, loyalty to the chieftain, to be
proven by blood sacrifice. Is not tho
clansman's loyalty left behind by the evo
lution of British society since the battle
of Culloden In 1745, which perhaps re
sulted In tho exile of the Gaelic composer
of that song? Should not that be time
enough to wean sensible men from a
social and politic condition, which had
robbed them of their freedom on their. na
tive heath. It Is no wonder that Steven
son admired that particular composition
because It breathes the soul of some of
his own most beautiful writing in "Kid
naped," but with the American-born,
whether in Canada or the United States
Australia or New Zealand, even; with
wide spaces to redeem from wlldness to
the uses and support of a higher human
ity, is not poetical talent facing the wrong
way when it "sings the glories of an an
cient day" and of chieftains we would
now rate as robbers?
I am not at all sure that the friendly
letter which probably furnished Professor
Wilson more than one sweet night in
translating the song from the Gaelic, did
not picture the real life of a roving crew
of Highland babies In the shape of six
adults rowing a Hudson's Bay Company's
express messenger to American head
quarters at Montreal. If It was, such a
scene could easily have been duplicated
on the" Columbia in 1S23 as the laboring
employes of the Hudson's Bay Company
were in part gathered on the northeast
coast q Scotland, the Orkneys and Hebri
des, anuv more than half the officers ranked
as traders and some of the factors were
Scotch. In 1844 the writer had some op
portunities to talk with some of the la
borers, strong, Ignorant men, serving
under contracts of never less than three
years, at 17 or about $S0 a year, with
salmon and potatoes furnished as food,
which they cooked themselves, or In some
cases took a native woman to cook for
"Ttie Hand That Rocks

them. But the Scotch, as a rule, did not
intermarry with the natives as readily
as did the Canadian. French, and In a
boat's crew of seven the steersman com
mander was generally a Scotchman. This
class, when above the common laborer.
could generally hold a conversation on
the literary estimates of Scott and Bilrns;
and among the books of officers like
Tolmle, Btrnie, Manson and McKinley a
large portion would be the Waverly nov
els, but this grade of men would not
sing tho puling songs of lament over be
ing exiled from the opportunities of
"giving their blood like water" in fealty
to somo owner of cold barren heatn,
which would meet more human needs as
sheep pasture or moorfowl preserve, than
by cultivation, and deprecate utilizing
the "broad meads and hoary woods"
stretching thousands of miles westward
and northward of them; and of which by
using their heads and hands in their own
service, they might have had a choice in
1829, and where there will be room for
millions better than the Highlanders of
Scotland In 1929. I say again then, while
sympathizing to some extent in the love of
birthplace expressed In Professor Wilson's
translation of that Gaelic song and con
fessing to other pleasures derived from
Wilson's prose writings descriptive of lpw
ly life in Scotland at a time when a friend
described him as being "hard at it a line
a week," I still think the British, Irish,
and all other foreign-born energies that
find homes In North America and other
roomy countries, would be better served
by poets or prose writers looking forward
rather than backward. A short time ago
I told your readers of a small district
of Clatsop County, in which English dairy
men have largely superseded the Amer
ican pioneer settles. One good day la mid
January I came upon the united heads
of such a family. They were digging up
plants of Scotch broom to send to thrifty
citizens of Rortland, Or., for cultivation.
so as to have something close to their new
and better conditions to remind of child
hood's days among the broom. That's al
lowable "lest we forget," and there's room
for the thistle of Scotland, the rose of
England, the leek of Wales and the sham
rock of Ireland in this Oregon of ours
they will all flourish in Oregon. So let us
quit puling "Lochaber No More" and sing
of progress away from hungry conditions.
If you will search through the editorials
of The Oregonian of 1S61 I think you will
find one earnestly advising Oregon farm
ers to enlarge their wheat fields and by
a surplus attract the Liverpool wheat
market towards us. It was the right kind
of song for an ambitious newspaper to
give Its readers. I inclose an early folk
song, home made, that editorial Indirectly
produced by raising the question of the
value to the United States of such a poet
as Burns was to Scotland, between two
Mnrlnn Countv farmers eo-oneratlnsr In
their harvest labor with one of the first
half dozen Kirby machines Imported into
this state. You will note there are lines
that are hot original and that the measure
Is that of Burns' "Farewell to the Masonic
of Notre Dame de Beaufort, Qnebsc, for
instance:
"It was several years before our home
was blessed with a child, but our hopes
were finally realized, and. we think this
was due to your medicine, Dr. Pierce's
favorite tresenpuon. 1 was not very
strong; had been a sufferer from'female
weakness before marriage. At tho sug
gestion of a mend, began faking Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and in
rime was pleased and happy to find that
I was regaining strength, and soon to
become a mother. I cannot say too
much, in praise of your medicine, and
hope that all women who are in delicate
bealth will give it a trial, as I feel sure
tnat it win oenent tnem grcauy as it
did me."
"When" a woman has ills and pains that
she cannot bear when life seems dark
for everv woman, she should confide her
troubles to a physician of 'standing in the
community, or one wup uas a ubuuuh
renntation. Certainlv it would not be
the part of wisdom to confide in an
ignorant person wimout meaicax euuea

There is every reason wlrjr she should
