ML BAKER ALL RIGHT
District Will Pan Out Well Says
. Leo Friede.
Leo Frieda has Just returned from a
- lOrdays' tour In the ML Baker mining
' district In the Stale of Washington.
, Mr, Friede says tha he was unable to
penetrate the entire district on account
of. the monster equinoctial storm which
. ' sprung tip at that time. ' From the f ore
, t man of bis mining property he received
' thte information that Hammond & Co.,
who have the contract for the Installing
. of a 10-starap mill, will complete their
contract by the latter part of this month.
According to Mr. Friede, a typical
, frontier town has sprung up at Maple
Falls.' Maple Falls is a town of about
' ' ISO population. It contains seven sa
- laces, which are always crowded to the
door. Loggers, miners and railroad la
." borers seem to be content with the situa
tion. ' The places are open all night and
a. everybody appears to be making money.
"The B. B. & B. C railway is making
: progress in the building of a road into the
district In about -two years the com
pany will certainly construct a line
. . through the entire mining country.
f .Every one who wants to see a typical
milling camp in full blast -should pay a
visit to Maple Falls. The town Is one of
the liveliest that I have ever seen. Its
.future is assured.

the .effects of his work.

ning team for Hill Military Academy and

In view.
The race for championship honors be
tween theSe three academies will be more
exciting this year than ever before.
McFadden will again coach the Forest
drove team. Last year they played a
reasonably close game with Multnomah
and Eugene, and with the addition of
several new heavy line men feel they will
be able to lower the club colors this fall.

ASK HOME
PATRONAGE
Cigar Makers Are Out With a Cir
cular on tfce Subject.
The Clrgarmakers' Union has Issued u
circular letter which will be addressed to
various business houses In the city "sir
ing them to patronize more liberally home
dealers who are engaged In the manu
facture Of cigars. The circular says In
part:
"There are at present aiout 50 cigar
makers employed here, and the average
wage per man will amount to $100 a
month, and when we Include In this iln
wages of the other people employed
about the shops, either In the capacity of
salesmen, foremen, packers and strip
pers, it will bring it up to ut least $T0'X) a
month. The number of cigars produced
here monthly Is approximately 25O.mi0.
while we have learned from carefully
prepared statistics, and close observation
that the average consumption for t!u
same period will amount to at least 1.2'A
000, or Just five times as many as ir
produced. It Is not hard to figure that
the loss to Portland and its business In
terests is $30,000 a month, or 3"AoO
yea In wages alone."
"The amount of money kept in circula
tion, In our City Instead of going outside
as it now does, would be productive of
great results In the material upbu.lflinK
of Portland. The object of. this, circular
Is to try to Induce the local handlers of
oigars to use as much of the home jri
duct as possible under any and ail cir
cumstances. The cigars produced her?
will compare favorably In polrifctif Equal
ity, workmanship, or price with th .se
manufactured anywhere in the Uriitjil
States."
A. W. Jones has been appointed by fie
union to make a personal visit to all tin
heaviest dealers in the city to get their
views on. the subject, and to impar any
additional information that tney desire

GEORGIA'S STATE ELECTION.
ATLANTA. Ga., Oct. 1 Owing to Its
purely perfunctory character the state
election in progress in Georgia teday is
attracting little or no attention. The
Democratic primary last June amounted
virtually to an election, as no other po
litical party in taa vS?ste has. placed a
ticket In the field. Consequently today's
balloting la merely a matter of form in
compliance with the law. The new Gov
ernor is J. M. Terrell. All of the old
congressmen are to return to Washing
ton with the exception of W. H. Fleming,
of the Tenth district, who will be succeed
ed by T. W. Hardwick.

UNDER THE CILLOTINE.
There Is a story of a ghastly quarter of
an hour once passed by a young Parisian
who wandered Into the "Chamber of Hor
rors" at a wax works show In London.
Finding himself alone, he was seised with
an inspiration. What a glorious thing to
put his neck under the guillotine where
had rested the neck of Marie Antoinette!
He lay down, touched a spring and closed
the collar. But how was he to .release
himself? If he touched the wrong spring
the fatal axe might descend. Unable to
speak a word of Engush, he yelled lustily
for help In French, and before long a
crowd of visitors led by an attendant
came on the scene. The guide was a bit
of a linguist and saw an opportunity with
himself, as master of the situation. He
at once began a practical lecture on the
guillotine, Interrupting his remarks with
little asides in French to the Indignant
victim, asking htm to scream louder or
writhe more agonisingly. "How' well he
acts!" exclaimed the gratified onlookers.
Finally the Parisian 'was released and,
answering the applausj .with maledictions
fled, leaving his hat behind.
