Mr. wood who is now in a local hospital, penned The letter of instructions to Mrs. Maurice Brooks, who shot her husband Tuesday night. When the police were Investigating the shooting. they searched Mrs. Brooks' apartment in the Villa St. Clara, found the letter, turned it over to the federal authorities and the grand Jurr did the rest. The letter, it Is said, contained other things than di rectlons as to how the bottles should be muffled to prevent-1 the tell-tale gurgle! Third Episode Bea-ims. Indictment of Mr. Wood Is the third episode of the career of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks since their advent to Portland each episode being a thrill. When they were coming to Portland with suitcases, each containing 14 quarts whisky, they were shadowed on the train from Oakland mole by a sleuth" of the department of justice. Mr. Brooks had a hunch as the train neared Portland, so when passing Mil- waukie he took his suitcase to the platform, opened the trap, threw the suitcase to the grouna ana jumpea. At his heels dropped the government man. Mr. Department of Justice grabbed Mr. Brooks and the suitcase and from Milwaukie telephoned to ar rest the woman. As Mrs. Brooks alighted from the train at the Union depot, she was po litely and warmly welcomed to our city by Mr. Wood In his very best manner. Gallantly Mr. Wood relieved her of her suitcases (with 14 quarts) and lightered her to a taxi. Depositing Mrs. Brooks within. Mr. Wood and the precious suitcase followed suit. Mr. Um4 Paid the Fine. Then up bobbed another federal of ficer who proceeded to horn into the car. Tableau! Mr. Wood assured the minion of the law that he knew noth ing of the contents of said juitcase. but that the lady was a very old friend Mrs. Brooks admitted the suitcase was her own. and took the consequences. Mr. Brooks was fined for bootlegging. Mrs. Brooks was fined for bootlegging, although both explained they were not bootleggers, but were merely, in the hospitable California spirit, bringing presents to friends. Mrs. Brooks hav ing no money, Mr. Wood gallantly paid the fine. Mr. Brooks just had enough to pay his own. Came the second episode Tuesday night with a bang, when Mrs. Brooks plunked a bullet into her husband's arm in their apartment. Mr. Brooks offered to forget and forgive it his wife would repent, but she refused and Is now In the city jail. The police searched the Brooks' rooms and Mr. "Wood's letter was unearthed.

I'p to this point neither the police nor the federal authorities knew that Mr. and Mrs. Brooks were the boot leggers who made the sensational entry to the city a few weeks ago. for when arrested the first time they used an alias. Following the discovery of the In criminating letter of instructions and other things, the wheels of justice be gan turning and then Mrs. Brooks talked. She is said to claim that when Mr. Wood met her and the pinch was made, he told her that she would be searched and that if she had any money it wonld be advisable to dispose of it. Mrs. Brooks Is said to contend that he handed over a couple of hundred dollars to Mr. Wood and that It was from this bank roll that he gallantly paid her fine as a bootleggeress.

"The usefulness of the Oregon Aeri cultural collage is largely due to his work; it was his mission to brine- the nstltution and its work In touch with the people. He had a thorough, prac tical knowledge of all rural problems and he delighted to put this knowledge it the disposal of all with wnom he came In contact. He knew the state better and was in closer touch with the people than any other public man in Oregon. He told me once that he bad been on practically every section of land In Oregon. He contributed in far larger measure than is generally real ised to the prosperity of the state and to the :onu'ort and efficiency of its people. "Wnile he had these broad views of public policy. Governor Withycombe was not an iconoclast. He had firm faith in the political principles on which the American commonwealth is builded. He believed that the government which has come down to us from the fathers ' was beyond all price. Although he was born and reared in Europe, his whole manhood was spent in Oregon and there was no divided allegiance in his fealty. His Americanism was gold without al loy. "At an earlier period than any other governor he predicted our embroilment in the late war and he waa the first state executive to demand adequate preparedness. Prior to, our entry into the war he devoted himself to the strengtnrning or the Oregon national i guard. He differed in political affil-' iations from the president of the United States, and yet a personal representa tive of the president who visited the western states in the summer of 1917 said that no other governor was giving such fearless, outspoken support to war measures as was Governor Withycombe. He hated disloyalty and was untiring in his efforts to suppress It in Oregon. "It was largely due to the fervor of his patriotism that Oregon led the union In volunteer enlistments and In several other of the testings which the war en tailed. He urged men to enlist and he was mindful of their comfort after they donned the uniform. The prestige and nfiuence of his office were available to every private In the ranks for the correction of wrong done him and for the prevention of nnneccsary hard ship. I was present when he bade fare well to the last battalion of the Third Oregon to leave the state. I wish he ould have been spared to welcome them on thMr return. Of all the thou sands who will line the streets of Port- and wh-;n these troops march up Vic tory Way to the Liberty temple, no one will bid them a heartier welcome than they would have had from the governor If he could have been present- In a summing up of a life, achieve ments are less important than charac ter. We are more interested today in what Governor Withycombe was than in what he did. He was a grateful man. outspoken in his appreciation of every courtesy extended to him. He was a loyal friend, staunch, sympa thetic, helpful and dependable. He was a capable, high-minded public servant, accustomed to broad views of public questions and solving them with an eye single to the public weal. His lead ership was constructive. His sympa thies were catholic He was interested in the welfare of the whole state and of every class of its citizens. He en joyed the companionship of his tellow tnen and had a wholesome sense of humor. He was well poised. He remained sweet tempered in hit periods of ad versity and ne was unspoiled by suc cess whicn fulfilled all his ambitions. As chief executive of the common wealth he remained kindly, approach able and attentive to the message of every citizen. He was always a gen tleman, courteous, unobstructive, tact ful, thoughtful of the feelings of others It was his delight to be helpful. His most distinguishing characteristic was his large endowment of good, common sense. He never discredited the state by advocating that which was wild, foolish or destructive. His Judgment was sound and dependable. -Ht waa clean of thought, upright 4 H. P. Clay Engine Outfit ( B. F. O. B. factory 160 n 12-15 H. P. Sterling, with com plete equipment, F. O.

That which was expedient from his point of view always yielded to that which was right. In the 19 years I knew him, I do not believe he ever ex perienced the sensation of fear. His conduct was always manly, dutiful and courageous. I know the home life which centered around the personal ities of Governor and Mrs. Withycombe. A more beautiful home life I have never seen. As a husband and a father he was all that a man can be. We are here to express our sorrow at his departure, to extend our sym pathy to this wife, this daughter and these sons whose loss Is unspeakably great. We condole with the common wealth, deprived in a critical hour of a wise counsellor ana trusted guiae. Let us be mindful of our high priv ilege in our contact with the personal ity of him we shall meet no more in this world. Let us be thankful for these fruitful years he has spent among us; thankful for such a life and such a character: thankful that our country's institutions can evolve this type of pub lic leadership." 5 The Original Buttermilk & Starting Feed The lactic add in the pure, rich buttermilk strengthens and tones up the sensitive digest ive organs of the little chick and helps to pre vent While Diarrhea.
