WOMAN FORCES A SMART YOUTH T8 EAT A "COMIC" VALENTINE Washington, Feb. 28. A gigantic blow was dealt the trusts today by th supreme court of the United States- when it upheld the anti-trust law Texas. The decision handed down today dis poses of the case in which the state of Texas sought to enjoin the National Cotton Oil and Southern Cotton Oil companies from transacting business in Texas on the grounds that the nature of their business was such as could be con sidered a combination intended to regu ate prices and irregularly stitie conipe tition. The state court of Texas rendered a decision enjoining the companies from further carrying on of business in the state, having found them iruiltv ol vio- ating the anti combination statute The corporation immediately carried the case to a higher tribunal, and a de cision was today rendered giving in state of Texas a complete victory. Justice McEenna read the decision. which holds that the status of the de cision of the Texas courts is entirely proper, and the enactment of such an act as the anti combination statute is within the legitimate powers of the leg islature. Kamiah. Idaho, Feb. 27. Some amus ing sequel- to St. Valentine's day are coming to light. An aged and much re spected woman of this vicinity received a comic valentine which greatly offend ed her. Being desirous of an oppor tunity for retaliation she said nothing, hoping that the offender could be lo cated. In a few days a young and verdant youth made it known that he had sent the valentine. When this confession reached the woman she took from the wall an old six-shooter that had not been loaded since the bloody battle of Shiloh and. with the weapon in one hand and the valentine in tbe other, she made her way across the field to a point where the young man was working tbe told him she had come to request him to eat the valentine, and had brought the gun along as a pursuader. She then tore the valentine into small piecee, wUich she gave him one by one as he began to eat. When the valentine was about half eaten the vonng man suggested that he was thirsty and that he ought to be per milted to visit the spring. This request was refused, however. When the val entine had been consumed the lady re turntii toner home, ine young man came to town and sought to reach the valentine with an emetic, but it was too 'late.

CHANGES IN THE OREGON GAME LAW City Gunners Pay License The Amended Law Effective May I8-Am-endments in Detail.

Governor Mead today vetoed the capital hill, giv ing as reasons the extra expend to be incurred and the apparent coercion in forcing the passage of the hill in both house and senate. He held that taxes were high enough to offer new people and that any extravagance should be curtailed. He save the lobbvista who orked the passage of the bill a hot roast for attempting to hold up legisla tion unless the capital bill was secured passage. Olympia people are jubilant over the veto. The railroad commission bill reached the senate j ust before adjournment for noon and a motion to place it on the calendar passed, 27 to y. The bill was made tiret business of the afternoon hour. This bill passed the house Satua day by a vote of 73 to 11. The veto also covers the removal of the supreme court to Tacoma. W S CHANDLER HURT IN MOTOR ACCIDENT in the regulations regarding dosed sea sons, but the most important acts were the prohibition of the sale of game, the establishment of the hunter's licenseand he prevention of the hunting of deer at night or with dogs. The nnniter of deer that may l killed in a season is limited to five. The purpose of the act prohibiting the pheasant sale of game is to limit, in some degree, pheasant the number of birds killed. The hunt license law is intended to restrict hunting to some extent, but nwre espe cially to compt 1 the sportsmen to con tribute toward the payment of the ex pense of enforcing the game protection laws. If the license bill hail passod -n the sweeping form in which it was in troduced, it would have produced con siderable revenue as it required ev ery hunter to pay a fee of $1 per year. Representatives from the farming counties would not support the bill in that form, however, and it was amended so as to except a man and members of his family hunting on their own land. This means that practically all the li cense monev will come nom city sioris- men. The law says nothing as to the rights of men living on farms which they occupy as lessees, and a strict in terpretation of the law will evidently 1 that when a citv man owns a farm and rents it, as many do, the city man may hunt thereon without a license, while the farmer must pay the license fee be fore he or members of his family can hunt. Provisions or Lictnsf Law The hunters' license law, known as Senate bill 29, makes it unlawful for Marshfield, Or., Feb. 28 -While Man ager W. S. Chandler, of the Coos Bay, Roseburg &. Eastern Railroad, was re- tny person to hunt for, take or kill any turning to Marshfield from Beaver Hill game animals protected by the laws of on his motor cycle, accompanied by Ira this state, during the open season, with Chapman, about 7 :30 o'clock last night, out BUch person having in his eronal tne motor struca a cow wnicli was on noRsession at the time ol said hunting, a tbe track near the drawbridge, just at the entrance of Marshfield, and threw the little car and its otcupanta off tbe track. Mr. Chandler's knee struck the rail, spliting his knee cap open ; he was also slightly bruised about the head and chest. Dr. Horsfall was immediately summoned and this morning does not anticipate any serious results. Mr. Chan. Her is also manager of the Beaver Hill Coal Company, and is one of the best known coal mining men on the Pa cific coast, onapman escaped with a few slight bruises. W. 0. W. CONVENTION AT COTTAGE GROVE Cottage drove is to be favored with another convention on the 8th of this month, when the Woodmen of the World of this district will meet and from all reports thus far received there will be a large number present. Cottage Grove is well situated for these gather inirs. Woodman Hall being commodi ous and well furnished and Raving in connection a reception room, large din ing ball and kitchen, all of which aid in holding a successful convention. Two conventions have been held there in the laet two weeks. i: license issued to him by a connty clerk. A license must be issued to any per son who applies therefor and who pays a fee of $1 if he be a resident of the state and $10 if he lie a non-resident. All li censes expire on December 31, regard less of the date of issue. Not more than one license can lie issued to the same person in any year, and the license shall not le transferable. The license must give the name and residence of the per son to whom issued, and a brief descrip tion of him, for the pnrpose of identifi cation. A license issued in any county is good an vw here in the state, but is subject to inspection at all times by any peace offi cer or person charged with the enforce ment of the game laws, or by the owner of property upon which the person may be hunting. Fees collected under this act must lie transmitted to the State Treasurer, and by him placed to the credit of the game protection fund. Hunting without hav ing in possession a valid license is pun ishable by fine of $25 to $100, or impris onment five to 30 days, or by both fine and imprisonment. Sale of Game Prohibited The act prohibiting the sale of game was Senate bill 77, and applies to deer as well as to birdB. It reads as follows: gray squirrel, wild swan, mallard duck. wood .luck, widgeon, teal, spoonbill, gray, black, sprigtail, or canvasback, or any duck, water-rail , upland plover, prairie chicken, grouse, pheasant, ruf fled grouse, ring-neck or China pheasant quail, bob white quail or partridge, cop ercailxie, wild turkey, woodcock, silver , golden pheasant, copper : green pheasant or Reeves pheasant. Violation of the law is made punish able hv fine of $100 to "000, or impris onment two months to two years, or by ; both tine anti imprisonment. Srason for Ducks and brat I The clol season for ducks and geeee will hereafter beirin Feb. 1. instead of ; March 1, and the law has been changed in several respects by the passage "t Senate bill ,V. amending section 51 I ol ,.. n e. K this act the killing or ivosseesion of anv wild goose, wil ! ;tn mallard duck, wood duck, w Igeon. teal, spoonbill, gray, black, sprigtail oi canvasback or any duck, is forbidden tetween Feb. 1 and September 1 and luring the open season not more thai M ducks can be killed by one person in a week.

New Law for Deputy Game wardens In order to give the Gauie and For estry Warden more power in the ap- Dointment of special dnpauea, tne iaw upon that subject was amended by the last legislature. Tho act permits the Game and for estry Warden to appoint any number of deputies at B per day and expense? ,, but the totHl expenditures must not ex ceed the total amount of the appropria tion added to the amount derived from hunters, licenses.

The Oregon took fire at 1 o'clock yes terday afternoon, Ii miles southwest of Crescent City, the blaze originating among miscellaneous merchandise. All hands were at once ordered out to fight the :ire, and the 5 passengers were advised to prepare for emergencies, but were kept comparatively calm at the same time bv information that the ves sel would probably be able to make Crvs.-ent City harbor safely. Iespite frantic efforts by the crew, the fiames advanced until the Oregon showed a heavy list. In this predica ment she was seen by the Del Norte, which had put out from this point, and all the passengers were safely trans ferred to the Del Norte and to a collier. The Del Norte brought the entire num ber in this morning, the Oregon follow ing nnder her own s'eam. The Oregon is a staunch steamer of 23S5 tons freight capacity, built in 1877 by J. Roach k Son , Cnester, Pa. She is owned by the White Star Steamship Company, of eattle, but is under char ter to the Portland ,v. San Francisco Steamship Company. She left San Francisco last Sundav. fined in upper work. Low grade ore has been found in the drive already, and from some that come in recently colors have been panned, indicating that the shoot is larger at depth than above, and is being entered already.

When the east drift on the Champion has penetrated the zone of the rich shoot, a crosscut of 100 feet will be made to the big vein and drifts extended there. The manage ment believes that this last fissue, which was blind, will prove an import ant producer when properly explored. After the east drift of the Champion has progressed well beyond the shoot mined in upper workings, a crosscut will be made toward the Musick mine, until tbe tunnel emerges at the surface on that side of the divide. This will be the portal for commencement of the mining the best narthoi to work, so the management will know what kind of re- I duction plant to erect.

RICH STRIKE IN THE FAMOUS GREENBACK MINE YAMHILL CITIZENS HOLD BIG MEETING McMinnville. Or., Feb. 27 Last nig t ac. enthusiastic mass meeting was held in '-ie courthouse and an organ lza ; ion formed for the purpose of circula ting a petition favoring referendum of i he house appropriation bill, that car ried $1,021,420, for various state insti 'u ions. Tbe meeting was c.n outgrowth f p pular sentiment that has existed since the adjournment of the legislature. M. B. Hendrick was elected perma nent chairman of the organization a nd H. L. McCann was elected to act as secretary. Many spirited speeches were made in favor of the petition. The citizens of Yamhill county are, as a whole, opposed to the normal school appropriations that are included in the bills for appropriations to the other state institutions, and believe that there should be a separate bill for each ap propriation. The movement for a peti tion favoring a referendum of house bill No. 370 has strong backing in Yam hill county. A rich strike in the well-known Green- men installed a complete modern plant heck mine, near I.eland, is reported.
