BOUHXE MAY BE CANDIDATE. Rumor Says He May OpiMse Selling for Senator. Portland, Ore. A rumor that has been in circulation for several weeks in political circles, that Senator Jon athan Bourne. Jr., who was defeated for renomination by Ben Selling in the republican primaries, will be come a candidate for re-election on an independent ticket, took more definite form when it was learned that the senior senator from Oregon had been communicating with friends in Oregon as to the advisa bility of such a move. It is reported that Senator Bourne will make an announcement in this regard following the progressive con vention at Chicago, August 5. On account of his adherence to Theodore Roosevelt, even when it seemed possible that Senator La Fol lette would secure the republican delegates from Oregon to the repub lican national convention, supporters of F. W. Mulkey, who has announced himself as candidate for the senator ship on tbe progressive ticket, de clares that he is the logical progres sive candidate and that he will re main in the contest to tne .inish. BIG POTATO CROP. Klamath Count.-y Will Outdo Itself This Season. Klamath Falls, Orei I nless un foreseen conditions arise the Klam ath country will this year outdo itself as h potato country. It is estimated that about l,50o acres have been planted and at least two-thirds of the acreage will average better than 100 sacks to the acre. The year has been exceptionally favorable so far. Never in the history of the country has the potato crop, taken as a whole, looked so well, and never has there been so large an acreage planted to potatoes. Last winter the farmers of the Klamath .country exported the first potatoes. They .found it to be ready and easy money. Several nun dred additional acres in potatoes are the result this year, and if the out side market is good, quite a sum of money should come into the country from the crop. HONOR MEN FIGHT FIRE.

A. MITCHEL A tourist viewing the ruined castles on the Rhine bank from the boat that plies up and down that historic stream. Just above Wiesbaden, will see a bro ken pile of stones which mark the for mer home of Bnron Korner. The bar on's wife was in her youth considered Vie most beautiful woman in all Ger many. Indeed,' so beautiful was she that persons came from a distance to have a look at her. As was to have been expected, the lady became so vain that her beauty, j instead of being a source of comfort to her husband, was a matter of regret He never complimented bis wife on her beauty; consequently she cared lit tle for him. devoting herself to admir ers who went into raptures over It. The baron naturally became very bitter on tbe subject of woman's beuu ty, and when tbe baroness presented him with a daughter, Hlldegarde. since beauty is hereditary and tbe child would likely be a beautiful woman, be gave orders that no one should even tell Hildegarde that she was beautiful. He also destroyed all tbe mirrors in the castle and disposed of tbe jewelry and other woman's adornments that tend ed to cultivate vanity. Then he gave orders tbut uo one should bring any of these things into his borne ou pain of being thrown into tbe donjon under tbe castle. The baroness died when Hildegarde nna 6ecn am wondering if It would be was but a few years old and long be- I there when she returned. Carl mean fore tbe child could be conscious of while feeling confident that she had her appearance. She grew up us beau tiful as ber mother aud, never having seen her face, was unconscious of ber attractive appearance. But she lived rather a lonely life, for her father ad mitted few visitors to tbe castle, and no one was supposed to enter without making a pledge not to give evidence of having noticed Uildegarde's beauty. nor was tbe girl ever permitted to leave the castle. Baron Korner as he grew older and bis daughter's splendid beauty grew more transcendent formed a plan when Hildegarde came to a marriage- 1 , 1 ! . 1, . L 1 1 t u.e " l" ",UUBU"."U wno snouiu Keep up nis policy wun regard to her. Having no son, he se lected a younger son of a neighboring baron to wed her and take bis place at his death as lord of tbe domain. Carl Von Ebrensteln was tbe chosen man. but not before be bad sworn a solemn oath to surround his wlfe'wlth the same barriers to which she bad been accustomed. Soon after the celebration of the nup. tials the baron was killed by a fall from his horse while hunting, and Carl Ebrensteln became the lord of the cas tle, lie deeply loved his wife and was very proud of ber beauty, but he had been thoroughly informed by tbe late baron of all be had suffered on account of ber mother's vanity and was Intent to prevent it in Hildegarde. But she was now twenty years old, and it was not so easy for her husband to keep ber shut up in tbe castle as it had been for her father to imprison a child. No sooner had there come an end to the late baron's obsequies than Hilde garde begaj to evince a desire to see the world. Now, Uildegarde's nurse when her young mistress emerged from child hood became ber maid, and tbe young baron consulted with her as to taking bis wife outside the castle and still keeping around ber the safeguards to which she had been accustomed. The maid. Gretchen. thought thnt tbe bar oness could be taken on a tour without seeing a reflection of her person. Mir rors were not so common in those days as now, and' Gretchen promised to watch for them-and guard against ber mistress being brought face to face with one. So the bnron yielded to his wife's persuasions and set out with her, attended by her maid to show ber tbe world. The young husband was in terror from tbe first Every person who passed them started on seeing Hilde garde and looked at her rapturously. "Why do these persons stare at me thus?" she asked. "It is because, never having been out Into the world, which is filled with wickedness." replied her husband, "your features show that the innocence to which you were born is still in you." Hildegarde was pleased with this, but not satisfied. They were at the time passing through different scenes from those to which her vision had been limited, and she was delighted with them. "Shall I become wicked now that 1 bave left the istle?" she asked. "Not If you remain with me and Gretchen and do not mingle with the throng." Hildegarde meditated for some time over this and at last said: "I don't care to be perfect. I think I shall risk being corrupted by min ting with a few persons." The young bnron had arranged to fake his wife for their first stop to the home of Helnrlch Reinbenrt. n friend of his living near Worms. He had con fided to this person the plan on which his wife had been brought up and hnd Recured the promise of the removal of all mirrors from the premises and that all persons ' there should refrain from appearing to notice the beauti ful guest A few hours aftw their arrival of their stopping place, which was situ ated In tbe center of beautiful grounds, HilJegarde slipped away from her guardians and went out to walk by herself. On the peak where she had been born there was no water except the Rhine flowing far below. In Rein heart's place there was a very beauti ful sheet of water. As soon as Hllde garde saw it she ran toward it, clap ping ber hands with delight There was no breeze, and tbe surface was perfectly placid. The young wife was enraptured with the smoothness of it. surrounded as It was with verdure, which on the opposite side was reflect ed in it She wondered if the brink on which she stood was thus reflected. Looking down into it she saw the blue sky there and white clouds sail ing slowly along. Rending, she saw her reflection gazing at her. Instantly a look of admiration came upon the reflected features. "Who are you down there.' a water fay? Whoever you are, you are very beautiful." No answer came,' but Hlldegarde no ticed that tbe lips of the image moved while she herself was talking, "You must be an immortal else you would give me some reply. Strange that you should live down there In the water. I have heard of mermaids, but there Is nothing of the fish In your composition. You must be a human being, who instead of breathing air breathes water; but though you can jsee me, you can't communicate with me. Therefore you must be a human being who has grown to my age and died. Oh. dearj I wonder what you are!" She ran back to the house and called to her husband: "Oh, Carl! Do come and see the lieautiful girl living in the under world." The baron Unit his brows, ne fear ed that the secret was out that she had seen her image. He went with her to the pond, she chattering on tbe way about the vision of loveliness she seen herself was trying to invent a story that would satisfy her. When they reached the pond she ran ahead of him and bent over it "There she Is!" she exclaimed joy fully. "Com? and see her." But Carl hung back. "1 know whom you are looking at," he said, "a water fairy. Come away. She will contam inate you." "No. no! She is ns good as she is beautiful. 1 can see purity in every feature." Should Carl lean over the water to j see the fairy his own face would be I reflected there, and his wife would recognize It at once. This would lend ber to understand that the other re flection wns her own. "No, uo. sweetheart." he said. "Should I look at her she might en thrall me. Not for the world would 1 risk being drawn away from you." "Would she?" exclaimed the girl in ajtane that betrayed both fright and disappointment "Then It would be your fault She would never tempt you." "Come away. This is the Lorelei, who has come from the banks of the Rhine. You know how she lures boat men to their death. She would draw me down into the water, aud I could never return to you." Hildegarde. fearful that her husband might be right, knit her brows and saw her image do the same. "Ah." she said. "1 see that yon are evil, after all. You have lured me here that you may take my husband from me. and now that you see he Is not to be tempted you frown. Good by. You are beautiful, but you are evil." With this she rejoined Carl and. put ting her arm through his, returned with him to the house. When again they set out on their j Journey Carl persuaded his wife that they must not go nenr any more wa ter, for the fairy would be in any wa ter they approached and he might see her before he could withdraw. And once seeing her he feared the worst Hildegarde was quite sure the girl she had seen was the Lorelei of whom she had heard so much niid wns ready to avoid the waters in which she lived. And so fearful was she of losing her husband thnt she proposed they go back to the castle, where there was uo dunger. This pleased the young husband, who wns in constant terror lost the admir ing glances of the persons they met would betray the Becret of bis wife's beauty. So they returned to their home, where there were no mirrors, no sheets of water and where every one wus trained to refrain from showing ad miration for the beautiful bnroness. Presently n little son enme to take up her attention, and she did not agnln feel any desire to see the world, or. rather, she feared to leave the cnstle with, her husband for fear the water fay would get him. This worked In , two ways the bnr oness not only remained at home, but would not permit her husband to go even down to the Rhine. This kept hlin with his wife and his family and his retainers. When the physical beau ty of his wife faded It left an expres sion of purity, of unconscious beauty of soul. Persons who hnd formerly come to see ber as a marvel of bodily berfectlon now came to view a saint. It was not till this time that the bnroness discovered thnt she had been so hedged nbout that she did not know Hint she wns the fairy she had seen In the water and thnt it was she who hnd already enthralled her husband. But by this time she and he and their children hnd become welded together in one loving family, and her pnst beauty was not a nsatter of regret to bur. t ! M M I A U .11 I t rU fk .. A.

Treatment and Care of Tuberculosis Subject of Interest. The interest in and success of the exhibit and splendid series of lec tures on the prevention, treatment and cure of tuberculosis has given rise to the suggestion that the state should provide a permanent exhibit of a similar kind and keep it con stantly on display at some public place. Mr. Cosper, who has charge of the exhibit at the Salem armory, said the supreme purpose of the movement was to awaken an enduring interest everywhere In the stamping out of the white plague, and that no better evidence of genuine appreciation of the efforts of philanthropists be hind the. movement could be shown than actions by states to provide and maintain permanent exhibits. It was Mr. Cosper s idea that the state board of health could properiy get behind such a proposition, and it Is believed the movement would be enthusiastically indorsed and abetted by labor, religious, fraternal and civic bodies generally.
