Oregon, The Washington man noticed her shortly after he aettled himself In hla aeat In the train at Charlotte, bound for Washington. She had the chair Immediately in front of that of the Washington man, and after he had studied the back of her head for a while he reached the conoluslon that her back hair waa of an uncommonly fine chestnut tint. Presently she tried to raise the window at her aide, the car being warm. The window stuck, of course, and equally of course the Washington man waa glad It stuck. It permitted him to execute hla little "Pray allow me" stunt. Then he observed that her teeth were exceptionaly fine when she smiled; that her eyes were of a haunted brown and not without a twinkle In them, and that her com plexlon waa a well-nigh perfect olive. For the rest, he concluded that she waa from SI to 19, say and it waa plain that she was traveling quite alone, "That doea not make a draught on you, does It?" he aaked her solicitously, after opening the window for her. "By no means," she replied, amiably, partly wheeling her chair in his direction. "Unless it makes too much breese for youf' she' added, inquiringly. "Myself," she went on, '1 am almost a fresh air crank." "Better to err In that respect than the other way," he said, with a grisly attempt at a pun and so they got to conversing. He told her that he waa glad to find one woman who waa fond of plenty of freah air most women, In his opinion, were too partial to stumneas. And so, before the train was much more than 10 miles away from Charlotte aha bad her chair wheeled all the way around, and they were on very agreeable and chatty terms. When first call for dinner waa passed he very politely aaked her would ahe honor him by taking dinner in hla company, and, with graoiousness equally grandilo quent, ahe consented to do so. "I guess maybe I'm an old chestnut and wallflower and a ahelved proposition Jn general, If I am 40," he said to himself, with a snort of mental preening, aa he led the way to the dining car. Then he added, with a sort of gulp, "Forty and married." It was a very pleasant dinner, with the train bounding paat the restful, sleepy-looking little southern towns and the suns wept 'woods and fields. He suggested that perhaps ahe would like er Just a little pint of the sparkling r that is to say, If she felt that No state In the Union holds such possibilities for the development of a great and permanent mining Industry aa Oregon. ' While It is already successfully carried on ' In many parts of the state, nearly every valuable metal. Including gold, silver, copper, lead, iron, sine, nickel, platinum, quicksilver, coal, salt, sulphur, marble, aluminum, syenite, graphite, corundum and porcelain clay being found, the greatest mineral belt being Eastern Oregon, of which Baker City la the center and metropolis. The vast belt,' about 120 miles square as large as Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut all combined in addition to the whole of Baker County and a large part of Grant and Union Counties, stretches from the northeastern part of Wallowa County into the northern end of Harney and Malheur Counties, and from tha great Snake River far into the tributarlea of the John Day. Spurs of the plo turesque Blue Mountains, from 8,000 to 10,000 feet high, covered with sufficient timber for every purpose, traverse It in every direction, while the innumerable rivers, streams and lakea furnish water for every demand. From the O. R. ft N.'s book, "Oregon, Washington and Idaho." STOP TfiE HOLDUPS. For a city of the .twentieth century. . ' lighted by electrio lamps and the genius of imr police commissioners, Portland presents Jan unusual spectacle. Nightly highway I robberies upon her principal thoroughfares take her back to that dark London when the vocation of footpads entered into the - sports of princes, and the cut-purse was an ' almost noble trade. ' These robberies have become the ordinary news of the day and appear , in the daily i press with the regularity of market reports. , The police either will not or cannot help ' the situation. It is Intolerable that this condition shall longer prevail. - It Is too serious for use as political capital. More than the fate of par - ties or factions is Involved, for the peace and safety of the city is the stake. The 1 carnival of crime open, bold and defiant. challenges the capability of the people to protect themselves. To palter with the sit uatlon, to pretend not to see it, to excuse or palliate it. Is negligence, incompetence, and 'worse. It is Itself criminal. . Criticism has done its office without avail. - If any new energy is manifested in the department It is ill directed, for It is without result. Either the highwaymen are exceptionally skillful or the officers are ex ceptionally incompetent. Portland cannot stand this any longer. The administration may have to await the slow process of political action for its cor rection. In the meantime, the holdups must stop and the hold-uppers must be captured or run out of town. If the police cannot 1 do it, then the people must do it. It must be done. It Is not an impossible task. The robbers are professionals. They have their distin guishing marks, and their dissolute haunts, i They do not congregate in respectable places nor associate with respectable peo pie. It 1b not difficult to find them. There !ls a criminal class in Portland, habitual, hardened, reckless. They ply their trade under the eyes of the police. They have been so long tolerated that their Immunity has grown into a precedent, and their calling has became almost legalized. The police control of them Is and has long been per functory,. desultory, wavering and well nigh benevolent. They do not hide, but walk the streets by day and night, vagrant, known and safe, then the business men of this city can do it. Money, determination and a resolute force employed for that purpose can clear the city In 10 days. It would be worth something as an example to demonstrate to the police administration that criminals can be caught. ' Lawless methods are not necessary. The . law is sufficient to remedy the evil. But it needs to be put In force. And the law has that merit that Its efficacy does not depend altogether upon recalcitrant officers. Any citizen can put It .In motion. All the citizens together can make it a deluge to sweep the city clear of this accumulation of crime and criminals that spoil its good name. It is .not a question of a "moral wave," for it is not immorality, merely, but criminality of the most dangerous kind that menaces, nay that destroys, the safety and lives of the people. The matter is become as tedious as a twice-told tale. More . so, Indeed, for it Is diurnal story. It is time to have done with it, and the way to stop the story of the holdup is to stop the holdup. The question Is past the police and up to the people. A TRAGEDY AND ITS LESSON. "Oh, no," she interrupted with her winning smile that showed her perfect teeth. "I never take anything, you know, except at home and very rarely then." The Washington man said to himself that he admired a woman who didn't drink. "Women who invariably jump at the chance to Imbibe champagne are rather a bore, I think," is the way he framed the thought to himself. A portly man and his portlier wife and four fat children entered the dining car. "I adore children," she, said to the Washington man. "Do you?" "Crazy over 'em," he replied. "You are married?" she asked him, with a delicious uplifting of the brows. "Now, now be nice, be nice!" he replied, shaking an arch and warnlngful forefinger at her and the subject was changed. Oh, It takes the man of 40 and married to put up the genuine article In the way of archness! When it came to paying for the dinner, she politely but firmly Insisted upon paying for her own, whereupon the man from Washington tried to look abused. The remainder of the ride was just as delightful as the beginning had been for the Washington man. ' . It was Just the beginning of twilight when the train pulled Into the station In Washington. He bundled her traps together for her and .carried them to the cab stand outside the ladies' waiting room. "Well?" he Bald to her admiring the way her brown traveling veil blew around her winsome face. "Well, George, you know where you live, don't you?" she said to him, laughing outright. "George!" he exclaimed, stunned and hoarse. "George," she repeated, with a rippling confirmatory laugh. "Cousin-in-law George. Please don't look so absurdly surprised, or I shall become hysterical," and she went Into another peal of musical laughter. "You know I have at least a dozen photographs of you and Gertrude." He had to swallow quite a number of times before he was able to murmur, In a weak, flaccid sort of tone: "Then you are my wife's Chattanooga cousin, Helen and, I didn't know It. Miss Sly-boots and you knew I was Gertrude's husband all the time and you are on a visit to us how de do, how de do!" He looked very foolish Indeed, did this Washington man. On the way to his home in the hansom he cleared his throat a number of times, and then he said to her: "Er by the way, Cousin Helen, If I were you I wouldn't say anything to "Gertrude tout er you know my not recognizing er say you, played It low down on me. you know I wish we bad as many photographs of you as you have of us and Id never have but er there's no need of Gertrude being told of how yunderstand, don't you V and he grinned foolishly again. "Why, certainly J understand. Cousin George!" she reassured him, but she "went Into another peal of laughter that was mighty unconvincing. This happened several days ago. The Washington man is now wondering what the occasion of the half-amused, half-reproachful glances which he sometimes finds his wife bestowing upon him since the arrival on the same train with him of his wife's Cousin Helen. Washington Star. , , They get Into the police court and out again, into jail occasionally, and out again, but these episodes are but infrequent misfortunes incidental to the business, and charged up as the usual and Inevitable losses of a lucrative vocation. These people know the police and the police know them. They and the police recognize each other as occasional belligerents, but In the intervals of truce prolonged to the point of estab lished peace, they have mutual understand ings, with each other not necessarily cor rupt, it is to be hoped not, but more or less confidential and altogether tolerant. Here and there and now and then the "entente cordiale" Is disturbed, by some thief letting himself be caught In the flagrant act, and for- the hostilities that ensue he has only himself to blame. It Is the officer's reluctant duty to "pull" him, and he does it with becoming fortitude, but so as not totally to disrupt the pleasant relations pre viously existing. It was naively said by a detective the other day that he must "keep friends with the -thieves." The remark Il lustrates the state Of armed neutrality' be tween the guardians and the breakers of the peace. ;. Now these criminals are not all highway men. Few: of them are- But they thrive in the same places. They - have the same In stincts. Courage or the lack of It alone differentiates them in their calling. The upshot -c4MhHRrgument to that a relentless -prosecution of criminals of all classes will Inevitably, reach the robbers. - t It the: police 'department will not do this, The lesson of the terrible tragedy which occurred yesterday afternoon on the Mor rison street bridge should not be lost on the people of Portland. It is in no spirit of carping criticism that The Journal calls attention to the fact that the bridge has long been regarded as unsafe, and that the catastrophe which has shocked the com munity might well have been avoided by the exercise of reasonable care. The anguish, the suffering and the loss of Ut6 which occurred yesterday are but a por tion of the price which must be paid for past negligence on the part of those whose duty it was to see to the security of the pub lic highways. The sums which the city will be compelled to pay in damages as a result of the accident are but a minor considera tion, but they will doubtless be large enough to emphasize the folly of the penny-wise policy that has been pursued. It is idle to charge any portion of the re sponsibility to the people themselves, for they had the right to expect that the bridge would be closed to travel as soon as it be came unsafe. Private citizens must depend upon the authorities to so safeguard the public as to render the streets, sidewalks and bridges reasonably secure. Apologists for the municipal government may seek to disguise the facts and to shift the blame, but the case IS too plain to De successfully evaded. The responsibility for the tragedy which pecurred yesterday afternoon rests with those officials who, though fully aware that thfe Morrison street bridge was unsafe, have nevertheless permitted it to be used by the public. Upon the shoulders of these negligent public servants must rest the blame. HER 8WIM TO EUROPE. A certain vaudeville actress, who has long been known as the most superb woman swimmer In the theatrical profession, "got away with" a queer wager three weeks ago, the story of which has not yet been printed. She was down at Bensonhurst with a party of theatrical friends. She made her appearance on the beach In her bathing dress, and she said to a well-known theatrical manager who was in the party: 'Tm off for Europe here goes." The manager laughed. "I will wager you a thousand dollars," said the vaudeville actress, seriously, "that after I stroll Into the surf here, three minutes from now, I shall not again set foot on American soil until I've visited Europe." "Oh, let me give you two thousand to your thousand on that," said the manager, laughingly. "You mean that?" said the actress. "Assuredly," replied the manager, continuing to laugh. "Well, adlos," said the actress, and she raced Into the water and swam straight for a white steam yacht that was anchored about three quarters of a mile from the shore. She had already made her' plans to go aboard in that yacht, and all of her clothing and other baggage was already aboard of the yacht. She reached the yacht, climbed over the gangway, the anchor was hauled up, the funnel began to belch smoke and out of the harbor the yacht moved. Ten days later the manager received a cable gram from the actress, dated London, as follows: "Well, here I am. I shall draw on you for the two thousand." The manager cabled her that she could collect the two thousand from his London agent without making any draft, and added to his cablegram: "Nice long Swim, sister. What did you live on flying fish?" Washington Star. ' Like "Elisabeth," of the "Pointed Firs," shs refuses to' be photographed for publication. Indeed she objected strongly to being made the subject of discussion In print and It was not until Dorothy, with unexpected dlplo macy, reminded her that hundreds of women scattered around over the commonwealth would profit by a plain exposition of methods which undoubtedly spell success that she re lented, only stipulating that her name be withheld. ' - "It would In no way add to the Interest of your sketch," she said. '1 am known to so few people outside my own mall circle,1 I could not agree with her, but Dorothy soothed my disappointment by reminding me that the public liked to guess at Idea titles. "Do you suppose," she said, "any one would have bestowed a second thought upon Elisabeth In that German Garden of her's If they had really known who she was? No, Indeed, It is the mysterious always that attracts." Perhaps there Is something In Dorothy! theory. I am willing to hope so. Anyway I am under bond, as it were, not to disclose the name and local habitation of the mar veloua woman of whom I write. Let It suf fice that she lives In Oregon, not more than 100 miles from Portland, and has solved the problem of human existence on this mun dane sphere. The conviction that she has solved it was borne In upon me long before the end of a three-days', visit to her secluded homestead. Dorothy agrees with me far enough to ad mit that appearances favor my conoluslon. She has recently passed her seventieth birthday, this wonderful woman. Elbert Hubbard would call her "70 years young, for in spite of her crown of snow-white hair, she has apparently drunk Of the waters of the fabled Fountain of Eternal Youth. Her eyes are aa clear and as darkly blue, her lips as red, and the contour of her chin as softly rounded as a girl's of 18. The exquisite bloom of her complexion is nature's own, and never a wrinkle mars the smooth perfection of cheek and brow. Her figure, slight, but not meagre, is delicately moulded, and every movement Is characterized by graceful ease. "No," she replied to Dorothy's rather pointed questioning, "I was not always young. At SO I was an old woman, broken In health and spirit, sick of soul and body, I believed that I had exhausted life. Death had claimed my nearest and dearest. ' So clal extravagance and unlucky investments had swallowed home and fortune. In sheer desperation I sold my jewels, all that was left me out of the wreck, and with my two Uttle grandsons came across the continent to bury myself in poverty and sorrow upon this bit of government land in the Oregon woods. , "Cutting loose from old associations, how ever, proved my salvation that and hard work, for I had to work. I, who had never so much as brushed my own hair in the old days, was compelled to cook and scrub and sweep, and even plant potatoes. I went about it with a sort of wretched reckless ness, and a sorry hodge-podge I made of It all In the beginning. But house-keeping comesfeiatural to a woman, I suppose, and I was not so stupid that I failed to learn through experience the things which (every girl should be taught In her early youth. I studied Marlon Harland diligently and with her help began to evolve some sort of order out of my domestic chaos. "About this time I made an interesting discovery.. I found myself no longer a dt palrlnf Invalid forced t drudgt f dally, bread In the face of unnamable difficulties, but woman with" a healthful interest in the homely affairs 'of dally life to whom work ' was pleasure.

"You seem among other things to havs achieved ths conquest of poverty." That, like death. Is Inevitable when lives under; right conditions. Poverty and pessimism are Siamese twins." "And ths right conditioner "They must bs evolved, and ths evolution depends largely upon your own power of spiritual perception. No man can teach you the truth.

"Still you havs some rule or set of rules by which you regulate your daily life?" "If X had, ray rules might not serve you or another." "You are a vegetarian, are you not?" "Yes; that is to say, I eat no flesh,, drink no stimulants and take never mors than two meals a day. Breakfast at 10 and dine at 6, or not at all if It suits my convenience. But these things are of little importance, . What one eats or when, has not a vast deal to do with human happiness." I glanced about ths long low-celled room whose windows fronted the dawn and looked toward the gates of the setting sun, out upon the fruitful acres, where sleek Jerseys grazed beside a running brook. It was peaceful enough scene, but one of utte solitude, walled In by woods. "Are you never lonely 7" I asked. "Never. I have books, "and when I need them, people come to me, or X go to them." There were books sverywhere, books of all sorts, from Homer In the original Greek to Ella Wheeler Wilcox and her Poems of. Passion. In a house so well furnished other wise, we remarked the absence of any kind of musical instrument. "Do you not play?" asked Dorothy. Tn the old days before I discovered how far the birds and winds and running waters excelled me, I was counted a fair musician. Now my only music is furnished my unpaid choirs in the trees and meadows." "But "I shall answer no more questions. Cms out in the orchard and listen to the bds." IDA CLAjstE.
