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.

Lake road, have won new laurels for
themselves by saving Uncle Sam
thousands of dollars by extinguish

about 20 miles east of their camp
The men proved to be excellent help,
according to reports from Prospect,
and when the flames were extin
guished returned to their camp on

A Legend of the River
Rhine 2
By F. 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.

WANT PERMANENT EXHIBIT.
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.
