Keats is bewitchingly lissome and
dainty, and she does her work with an
abandon and revealing grace o ex

almost in a child of her years. She is
much too young to be able to compre

dancing, but seems to grasp the ex

STENOGRAPHER LEAVES MACHINE
FOR LIFE OJf OWJf FARM.
MIs Inex Buckler Resigns Her Posi
tion at City Hall to live on
Land Semr Redmond.
Having saved up enough money dur
ing seven years" employment as a
stenographer at the City Hall to buy
two horses, a cow, a cabin, some farm
implements and still have a bank ac
count to go on, Miss Inez Buckner
yesterday gave notice that she will
quit her position next Thursday and
move to a 160-acre homestead which
he has taken up 12 miles from Red
mond, in Eastern Oregon. Unassisted,
the young woman will begin the strug
gle to place the land under cultivation
and prove up on it within the three
years prescribed by the Federal irri
gation act.
Her only neighbors will be her un
married sister, who has already taken
up a homestead, and a few scattered
settlers who have been at work on
their land for a few months past.
aiiss Buckner, a slight appearing
young woman, 26 years of age, says
she first decided to become a land
owner and a farmer soon after she
went into the city service. On her va
cation last Summer she visited Eastern
Oregon and selected her ground and
men Degan to make arrangements to
leave. She bought a pair of good
horses, a cow, arranged for a cabin,
got some chickens and some imple
ments and had them sent to her sis
ter's homestead, where they now await
her arrival.
"Every young woman should look
ahead," says Miss- Buckner. "Some
girls spend their earnings for clothes
and good times and as a result they
have nothing to show for their labor
after a period of years. This is not
to my liking. I would hate to think
that I would have to spend my life
struggling for a living in an office
thumping a typewriter when there are
so many opportunities for a woman to
do something better in the world. The
nomestead and the farm are just as
opn to women as to men."

To the Public:
In announcing- my candidacy as
Coroner of Multnomah County I an
nounced my platform and nave stuck
to it.
I have not sought to indulgro in
generalities, or to evade an l.ssue.
J have pledged myself to establish
and maintain a publ io 'morg-ue with
out additional expense to the tax
payers.
I will be Coroner of Multnomah
County and not a representative of
an undertaking' establishment.
I will not use the office or allow
it to be used as a first and pre
ferred claim for any private busi
ness concern.
I will divorce the county business
from all alliances and entanglement
with private interests.
Some of my opponents are seeking
to evade these points by making the
statement that he "favors a public
morgue."
If this is true, why has he not
established one? Past actions in of
