A Different Tlew.. .. ' .....
I feel that under thi circumstances

to sty, however, that I am expressing
personal views of the matter and to

cltlsens, most of the sufferers from

criticised by others, j- : '
"I have taken the position that we
had no need for outside assistance be
yond the relief of a few cases of desti
tution amonr those who had their all
swept away by the flood, and the relief
of whlcti would require comparatively
small amount of funds. I took this

ground above and below the town for

- Keen indignation prevails among
the stockholders of the Multnomah
County Fair association . ovek what is
looked on as a reliable report to the
effect that the management has entered
into a contract to permit the syndicate
bonking ; system to be , employed at
Irvlngtnn during the coming meet It
is asserted that this plan was pursued
by the- directors of the King County
Fair association, 1 and has practically
ruined the reputation of Beattle .as a
racing center.
The syndicate plan is called by horse
men a "cinch system." the bookmakers
reckoning on from 40 to 60 per cent
profit By preventing competition In
making books at Seattle, owners of
horses found It Impossible to profit
anything, and the sport waa so nearly
killed that the management of the as
sociation had to throw the gates of the
track open to free attendance. It Is
aid that the meet, though scheduled
for six weeks, would have been closed
July 4 had not $11,000 been secured, by
the "bookies" nut of 921,000 passing
through their' hands. , '
Numerous Complaints are also made
Of pulling horses, and of unfair de
cisions. Many owners of blooded -animals
have left In disgust. It is said, and
others sre penniless and unahh to get

In a letter from a local horseman,
now in Seattle, to a friend, descriptive
of the situation, he says It Is commonly

. If the report should prove true, and
one of the stockholders saya he Is posi

He Is treasurer of the local army and
as loyal a soldier as ever wore the red

to a doubting, sinful crowd. She is a
Salvation Army lass, young and pretty,
and aa riven in the faith aa any girl
who ever donned the quaint poke bonnet
of her creed. ...... ... r . ... -
She la sergeant-major of tha local force
and for many years haa tramped bravely
behind the, banner that waves in every
olty on the globe. . For eight long years
they both have labored bere with wicked
men, telling them to follow that light
which tbey themselves nave found.

But the martial glamor of tha god of
war has grown quite dim, and In lta
stead has come the captivating wiles ot
the little god of love. Dan Cupid has
played havoo with tha army corps and
has put to rout two of its bravest offi
cers, who-until they- met had never a
thought save only to recruit Its ranks.
Salyatlon Army circles In the city are
ae-dg over tne . approacning weaaing.
Mra Brigadier Btlllwell will perform the
ceremony next Friday night that will
unite in marriage Treasurer rater-van
erkelen and Sergeant-Major . Phoebe
Mitchell. . It will, occur at corps bead.
quarters, M8 Davis street, and will be a
joyous time. ' .
Twelve little girls will march at the
head of a procession Immediately after
tbe ceremony and proceed through some
of the principal streets of the city. At
tired in pure vestments, each will ring a
tiny bell, whose peals shall Join tha
clamor of tha drum ana tambourine.
The bride and groom will march behind
the little girls.
" '' ' Devote lit te Causa
- It la a peculiar vow . which each will
take when tbey reach the altar. And
after It over no rtoe will be thrown
upon the wedded pair op anything be
done that Is frivolous in Its nature. The
law is plainly told In a book that la kept
by each army corps In which the mar
riage vows and regulations are concisely
laid down. .
"We do solemnly declare." each will
aay before the assembled comrades of the
faith, ."that w have not sought this
raarrtags for the sake of our own nappi-
ness or Interests only, but because we
believe that this union will enable us to
better please and serve Ood. and more
earnestly and successfully to ngnt ana
work In the Salvation Army."
Both Vanerkelen and his promised
bride are well known In army circles In
this city. She Is S3 and ha is two years
her senior, . When scarcely more than an
Infant she waa thrown upon the world
and sought shelter from its cruel stings
behind the great red banner. An ardent
and devoted worker for the cause,-she
labors Industriously while not preaching
or singing on tha streets. By laborious
work and thrift she baa supported her
self and a younger brother. And besides
she contributes generously - to 'the
cause.' , - -
Tha groom is alao a sacrificing soldier.
During the day he tolls In the city, while
at night he exhorts the people upon the
streets. Both have been stationed In this
city for many years and are two of the
most trusted and respected officers. She
holds the highest position in the city
aside from the staff of field officers.
At every meeting in the city tha an
nouncement la being made each night
that a wedding will occur next Friday
nis-ht but the names .are a profound se
cret AH the officers and soldiers of th
city will be there, and many besides
wno aremterestea in tne army.

sopus, M. X., July 80. Thomas Tar
rart. national chairman, made a hasty
visit to Eeopus last night, reaching Judge
Fafkar home at :25 and leaving" soon
after for his western borne.
He came in response to a telegram from
Judge Parker today,- because Judge Far
Iter wanted to hav another talk with
his manager before he rot out of the
state.
When Mr. Taggart got off th train at
Esopua Re waa met by reporters, to whom
he talked quite freely. There seemed
to be no reason to doubt this vrhen he
got Into the carriage that was to take
him to Roaemont.
On . returning to Eeopus station and
after Judge Parker had; left him. .he
would not be draw Into any sort of
conversation about the executive com
mittee or Its prospective officers,, other
than to say he had not yet decided
upon the membera who will constitute
that body.' Ha will announce their names
on Saturday of next week. Nor has he
decided npon xecutlve officers for th
committee in New York.
It may now be aald with eafety that
Judge Parker Is to be his own campaign
manager and that the chairman and his
aaalstanta will perform functions such
ss they will be directed to perform by
th nomine hlmeelf. From what took
place between Mr. Taggart and Judge
Parker tonight It would not be wrong to
guess that aome other than Sheehaa will
be named for chairman of tha executive
committee and that Bheehan wlU remain
at Eaopus all during the summer to ad
vise, with the national, candidate, thus
belnc relieved of office duties.
It may also be said that Jurlge Parker
at last haa decided he wouicrvnak Dut
three or four speeches from now until
election time and these will be delivered
from his porch at Rosemont

and even at on time, it la aald, he waa
lost sight of for days before any . on
of th few residents of the town saw
him.
There ar only a few houses In the
town. . Several times settlers would ar
rive there on the train at night. They
would be met by Lawrence, who the
next day - would take them Into th
desert, apparently to show them loca
tions on government land. In Juattoe to
Lawrence, the people do not directly ac
cuse Mm of murdering any of these
people, for they never gav suoh a terri

The contractors along tha government
canal have, now taken a hand in th
