Alexander Scavey, Lane County Pi
oneer. Ends Well-Filled Life.
KL'OENK, Or., Feb. 1. (Special.)
Alexander Scavey. a pioneer of La no
County, and widely known as a stock
raiser and farmer, died here last even
ing after an illness of a few weeks. He
was S3 years old.
Few men, even among the Oregon pio
neers, have known such experiences as
Mr. Scavey. He was born April 1, IS'24,
at Rockland, Me., on the shore of Pe
nobscot Bay. As a boy he enjoyed the
adventures afforded by the fishing boats
of his nntive town, but as he grew older
he longed for wider experiences, and at
the iise of 25 he embarked on. the sail
ing !ilp Challenge bound for the West
Indies, hut the Challenge soon ended its
career far off the coast of Brazil, where
It burned. leaving the crew to escape in
boats. Alter three days on the open sea,
the mariners found land and remained in
Brazil for several months.
From Brazil, Mr. Scavey took passage
on the Oughtertyre, which sailed from
Aberdeen, Scotland, bound for San Fran
cisco around the Horn. The vessel had
just been visited by a siege of yellow
fever, from which every member of the
crew hut Captain Cook had died, but
after the perilous trip around the Horn,
which took 173 days, the Oughtertyre ar
rived on the coast of California, and Mr.
Seavey went at once to the Trinidad
mines, where he purchased some mules
and organized a -pack train. .
A little later, Mr. Seavey established a
store on Althouse Creek, Josephine Coun
ty, which he continued successively for
five years, selling out and coming to the
Rogue Kivrr country with a mining ex
pedition. In ls"5. he came to l.ane County and
took up 160 acres of land in the hills
lying three miles to the north of Spring
field, and there engaged in stock raising
on a large scale, starting with WO head
of cows and calves. He prospered in this
business and from its earnings purchased
in 1SS3 over 10(10 acres of land, starting in
that year the famous Seavey hopyard,
which is well known all over the North
west country. It includes 100 acres of
splendid hop land and a small army of
Tickers are employed there every year.
Here Mr. Seavey spent most of his time,
coming in to Eugene to stay with his
children here during his last illness.
Through his marriage with Sarah A.
Blachley, the following children were,
born to Mr. Seavey: William C, Thomas
E., J. W.. J. H.. and J. A., all farmers
of Lane. County; Anna," now wife of E.

DECIDES AGAINST DUNBAR
Ex-Seii-oIary Had No Right to Ke-
lain Fees. Says Court.
PALF.M. Or.. Feb. l-(Speclal.)-Judge
William Galloway today handed down a
decision In the Sears-Dunbar case hold
ing that the Secretary of State was not
entitled to retain any fees in excess of
his constitutional salary. The decision is
based upon section t of article 13, which
definitely fixes the Secretary's salary
and expressly declares that he shall re
ceive no fees or perquisites whatever for
the performance of any duties connected
with his office. Judge Galloway calls at
tention to section 10 of article 2, which
prohibits any person from holding more
than one lucrative office at the same
time. These two sections, taken together
preclude the collection of extra compen
sation. This suit was 'originally brought by J.
K. Sears to compel ex-Secretary of State
Dunbar to, Account for fees collected by
him and alleged to amount to $100,000.
It was held that Sears could not bring
the suit, and District Attorney McNary
then appeared on behalf of the state.
The defense then appealed to the Su
preme Court from tho order allowing the
change in plaintiffs, but the Supreme
Court held that this was not an appeal
able order. Defendant Dunbar then filed
a demurrer and motion to strike out part
of the- complaint, and it was upon these
that Judge Galloway rendered his de
cision today .
STiEflTS EXPOSE SEER
I
CLAIRVOYANT'S FINE WORK
PROVES A FAKE.
'Professor'' Chesterfield Conies to
Grief When He Undertakes to
Read College Boy's Flit lire.
EUGBXE. Or., Feb. 1. (Special.)
Through- a clever scheme worked by sev
eral university students this evening
Professor Chesterfield, clairvoyant, was
exposed as an alleged fake. Many peo
ple have been ratronizing the learned
seer since his arrival in this city and he
has been doing a land-office business.
One student in the universi'. who has
had some previous experience with clair
voyants, after being given a reading by
Chesterfield, "announced to several others
that he was a fake, and immediately a
plan to expose him was formed.
Chesterfield's method of procedure In
his art is to have his confiding subject
write out his name, age and date of birth
on a paper. Tho professor then pretends
to burn this paper. But in reality has
done some sleight-of-hand work and has
burned another paper. Then, by learn
ing the victim's age, nr.me, etc., from
the paper whereon the subject has writ
ten it, and which paper "wise man' has
transferred to his left hand and holds on
his knee, the oracle is able to answer
many astonishing questions.
The student detective signed a bogus
name on the professor s paper and during
the trance was told that the bogus name
was his name. Then the student dis
guised himself and appeared for another
reading. When Chesterfield performed
his magic lire stunt the student grabbed
the paper from the fire and found out,
as he had supposed, that it was a blank.
He then seized the clairvoyant's left
wrist, and with the aid of the two other
students implicated in the exposure
scheme, who were in the next room, the
paper with the writing was forcibly se
cured. The man of mystery was much
chagrined at being exposed, and tried to
have the Incident hushed up.
MOB FIGHTS FOB BREAD
UNEMPLOYED IN NEW -YORK
TOWNS ARE LAWLESS.
Police Force Strengthened to Cope
With Outbreaks Free Soup
House to 3e Opened.
BUFFALO, Feb. 1. The police force at'
West Seneca has been trebled to cope
with the possibility of an outbreak of
lawlessness among the hundreds of idle
and hungry foreigners formerly employed
in the steel mills.
A bread riot occurred last night. A
grocer announced that he would give 400
loaves of bread to the poor, and a large
crowd gathered.
The loaves did not come fast enough,
and in the struggle that ensued the bread
was shredded to crumbs. A free soup
house was opened today.
DOLL USED TO AID THIEF
Shoplifter Poses as Young Mother
lo Avoid Suspicion.
PARIS, Jan. 25. (Special.) A queer
story is related about a trick that has
been practiced in one fof the big shops
by a young woman, simply attired, who
excited the sympathy of kind-hearted
people, as she threaded her way from
one stall to another with a baby" in her
arms. Everybody made room for the
young mother and her infant, whose
quiet behavior was also noticed. But
some of the vendors had cause after a
while to take quite a different sort of
interest in this pale and ladylike female.
She was inspecting some articles when
she deftly slipped one among the long
clothes of the child she. was carrying.
The explanation that she was only
steadying the -baby and was on the point
of replacing the object in question was
charitably accepted, and soon afterwards
she left the house. One of the men whdse
business it ip to keep careful watch on
visitors to the large shop had enter
tained a suspicion that the exemplary
conduct of the infant was not altogether
natural, and as he . had remarked the
trifling accident which had attracted the
attention of the sellers, he decided on
following the mother and her child after
they had emerged into the street.
The woman walked slowly along until
she reached a cafe, which she entered,
and soon was seated at a table by the
side of a couple who had left this par
ticular emporium a little time before her.
The inspector took up his position at a
neighboring table, and listened atten
tively to the conversation. There was
nothing in the talk of the trio to lead
him to suppose that anything had been
stolen, but great was his bewilderment
when the young mother, thinking she
was not observed, rearranged her In
fant's clothes, revealing to view a long,
narow box, which she opened for a mo
ment, showing that it was empty. Very
keen scrutiny of the baby's face, which
had been enveloped in a dainty lace veil,
also convinced the Inspector that it was
the face of a doll, and not a child.
The inference was clear enough. The
baby, such as it proved to be, was car
ried about to excite sympathy and to
avoid suspicion, while it also came In
handy for the surreptitious slipping of
goods among its clothes, pending their
insertion into the box which did duty
for its body. As nothing had been stolen
on this occasion, the inspector did not
arrest the woman.

WHEAT FARMERS
ML SAVE
Walla Walla Growers Contract
to Buy Grain Sacks at
Wholesale Prices.
PORTLAND FIRM GETS BID
Farmers' Co-operative Vnion Com
pletes Successful Business Deal.
Itesult Expected to Create Re
newed Interest in Union.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., Feb. 1.
(Special.) The farmers of the Wa.lla
Walla Valley are tonight ia high spir
its over the termination ot their nego
tiations with the dealers in grain
sacks for their 190S supply. At a
meeting of the Farmers' Co-operative
and Educational Union, in this city to
day, contracts were signed by a large
number of farmers for a total of
1.398.356 Calcutta grain-sacks at a
price of 7 cents each, delivered at
any railroad station in Walla Walla
County. This is 3 cents less than the
prevailing price of the same sacks last
yean, and 1 cents less than the price
of the product of the jute mill at the
State Penitentiary last year.
A number of bidders were present at
today's meeting, and filed sealed bids
with the secretary after it was known
how many sacks were wanted. The
bid of J. Z. Smith, representing Kerr.
Gifford & Co.. was found to be the
lowest, and arrangements were made
for the payment and delivery. One
tenth of the purchase price is to bo
paid down and the balance upon deliv
ery of the sacks, between June 15 and
August 1.
. The number of sacks contracted for
today represents- a total expenditure on
the part of the farmers of $103,129.71. and
the cash payment today will represent
J10.312.97.
This is the first time for a number of
years that the farmers have been able
to secure their sacks at such a low price,
and their success will no doubt stimu
late the interest and membership in the
Co-operative and IJducational Union
throughout the grain-growing section of
the Northwest.
Owing to' the fact that only a small
part of the output of the penitentiary
jute mill is assigned for sale in each
county, the result of today's meetjng
means a saving of nearly $50,000 to the
farmers of the Walla Walla Valley. It
Is estimated that it will require nearly
3.000.000 sacks to care for the grain this
year, in the event of an average crop.

Begin Winter Harvest.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Feb. 1. (Spe
cial.) Klamath County is "covered with
a blanket of snow, and, for the first time
this Winter, such a circumstance, has
been accompanied with ifreezlng weather.
The thermometer registers 20 above and
snow has been falling since last evening,
slowly, with a. depth of about three
inches. The cold wave struck Thursday,
and although no very low temperature
has been reached, the ice men have al
ready begun to harvest, with a thickness
of only about four inches. Because of
the lateness of tho cold season, it is
feared heavier ice cannot be had this
year. .

While Playing "Shinny."
TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.)
William Malin, aged 9 years, and Al
fred Craig, aged 14, were drowned in
Snake Lake, while playing on the Ice

POLITICS HURTS THE FUR
SEXATE PLAYS WAITING GAME
WITH APPROPRIATION.
Washington Republicans Fear In
dorsement of TaTt Will Injure
A.-Y.-P. F.xposition.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.)
That National politics is playing an im
portant part in the delay in the Senate
on the Alaska-Pacilic-Yukon Exposition
bill is the belief of some of the state
officers.
It is now a known fact that the time of
the meeting of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee has been put off till later
than usual because of the effect its pro
ceedings mignt have on the fate of the
Exposition measure in Congress.
For the same reason the idea of the
central committeemen Is that the state
convention should not be held until as
near as the required 30 days' of the 'Na
tional Convention as possible.
. It is claimed here hat an indorsement
of Taft as the Republican Presidential
candidate by the central committee is in
evitable, and that an instruction of dele
gates for him by the state convention is
almost as certain.
The fear that such indorsement and
instruction might cause friends in Con
gress of other candidates to get even
with the state by trying to defeat the
Exposition appropriation caused men
closely identified with the Exposition to
urge the chairman, Ellis de Bruler, to
put off the meeting of the central com
mittee until some time In March. The
reason announced was that it was
deemed wise to have the Seattle and Ta
coma municipal elections out of the way
before the central committee met. The
potent reason, however, it is now known,
was the Taft question.

Gives Fortune
To Help Women Who Suffer.
In the past few yfars Mrs. Cora B. Miller
has spent li'p,lKMM0 in giving mcUicaJ
treatment to afflicted women.
Some time ago we announced in the col
umns of this paper that she would send
free treatment to every woman who suf
fered from female diseases or piles.
More than a million women have ac
cepted this generous offer, and as Mrs. Mil
lar Is still r.ceivine requests from thou
sands of women from all parts of the world,
who, have not yet used the remedy, she has
decided to continue the offer for awhile
lonRer, at least.
This is the simple, mild and harmless
preparation that has cured so many women
in the privacy of their own homes aftei
doctors and other remedies failed.
It is especially prepared for. the speedy
and "permanent cure of leucorrhoea or whit
ish discharges, ulceration, displacements or
falling of the womb, profuse, scanty ox
painful periods, uterine or oarlan tumori
or growths; also pains in the head, bark
and bowels, bearing down feelinps, nervous
ness, creeping feeling up the spine, melan
choly, desir to cry, hot flashes, weariness
and piles from any cause, or no matter of
how long- standing.
Every woman sufferer, unable to find re
lief, who will write Mrs. Miller now, without
delay, will receive by mail free of charge,
a iVO-ce-nt box of this simple homo remedy;
also a book with explanatory Illustrations
showing w hy women suffer and how they
can easily cure themselves at home with
out the aid of a physician.
Don't suffer another day, but write ?at
once to Mrs. Cora B. Miller, box 10"Ht., Ko
Jcomo, Indiana.
