His prv .v.' downfall was the direct result of his axtravagant mode of living. On 1 salary of $1500 a year young Downs for several years past lived at put that only a millionaire could follow without going bankrupt.

May 17.-Albert Hoppert, "0 years old, had become so disgusted with a long article in news papers concerning President Taft's golf playing that when he came upon another of the narratives yesterday in his home at Fair Ground, L- I-, he yawned so widly and so long that he dislocated his jaw. It required a j journey to a hospital and the services of two psysicians to relieve him. HEALTH OFFICER REAMES MAKES THOROUGH-GOING SEARCH-ALL WELL urday, and that he would agree to make 158 pounds, but would insist on a much larger purse than the which has been mentioned previously, ketchcl intimated that he would d.i tvad a loose of from $10,000 to $15 COO. As Kctchcl has many engage ments ahead and his demands arc not considered promising for n light with Papke, there is sonic thought ot matching htm with Tommy Ryan, the veteran, who has just come forward with a broadside challenge. ritv Health Officer Dr. Clara Reames, accompanied by Police Chief Fred Oberg, yesterday boarded the tmr Samson .and gave that vessel a cnmnlcte overhauling, with a view to determining the alleged bad conditions existing on her. Captain Hobson re-j eeived them with courtesy and did all in his power to make the visit one of success in every way. ine uoctor found that the vessel was free from all taint and germs and that the water used on board was of the oest, the solendid water of Astoria being used entirely for drinking purposes, and the cooking water taken from the river in its upper and clearer reaches, with tanks and water-butts, sweet and clean and washed out reg ularly: in fact the vessel was given a clean bill of health in so far as the idea of her impregnation with dan gerous causes for communicable dis eases was concerned. It was ascer tained that young Charles Darrah, whose unhappy death was supposed to have originated on the Samson, had previously been in service on the dredger W-. S. Ladd, now condemned and laid up in ordinary at Portland, and that he had been on the Samson but three weeks. He had been in Portland during that city's recent un fortunate water troubles, so it re mains a problem as to just where h; contracted the malady that sacrificed his young life. STILL INTERPRETATION.

BOSTON. May 17--Hugh H. Cain the Boston sculptor, declares that women's figures have 'been ruined by devotion to fashion. 'Woman's fig ure is getting poorer and poorer every year," declares Cain. The female form is degenerating because of style. "The women of today are getting further and further away from the Greek figure of 2000 ears ago, which they are all seeking to attain and which the whole world admires. As one instance of this, those who determine what is fash iomble are trying to bring the waist line further down all the time. "At present an effort is being made to get it down as low as the hips. This U all wrong, of course, for nat ure long ago decreed that it should be jut below the breast, allowing a oft. graceful line from hip to arm-m."

Captain Aaroilion and his crew of live, of the IJriti-.h schooner Roa- fiokt. which went to pieces 25 mile off the Azores on March 26, arrived tiere today on the Fabre line steamer Gallia. Loaded down with a cariro of -alt from Santa Paola, for St. Johns, N. B., the Roanoke ran into a hurri cane when 150 miles off Fayal which cut her canvas into shreds. A jury S'lii was rigged and the crew manage to get the sinking vessel to a point 25 miles from the Azores when the seas carried away the deckhouse. The onlv lifeboat on the Roanoke had been so damaged by the storm that it was necessity to repair it with canvas. As the Roanoke began to settle Cap tain Aaronson and his men got under way in a small boat, thcy rowed the 25 miles into Fayal through raging seas, the work requiring three nights and three days. In that time thty passed two steamers which did not reply to their flaring torches. At Fayal they were so exhausted that they were kept in the hospital until tne OalJia touched there and brought them to New York. There has been a number of changes in the game laws as enacted by the last legislature. It is now unlawful to kill elk until 1919.

Salmon trout and bass can be caught at any time and the trout season is. from April 1st to No vember Ut. The limit of ducks is 35 in one week but no limit on geese. Quail arc limited to five in one day or ten in one week. The trout limit j is a on one May. Ducks can be sold between November 15 and Decem ber 15. Under the old law ducks could not be sold but they were sold on the quiet. The new laws goes into t effect May 25.

No grout- of rmy kind can be . -.old or -hippi-d outside of the state. Heretofore th" game laws were made I in the interest, of the Multnomah ; Rod & Gun Club, but this year people ( in other sections of the state may U-noy the same priviliges.
