Robert Baton, first assistant sec

erican ambassador to Germany, ac
cording to well-defined reports
among members of the foreign dip
lomatic circles here. Charlemagne
(n.int Srwi by Lonf t lu4 Wlr.)
San Frsnclaco, March Jt.A correc
tion has been mad In regard to the
recent ruling of the Interstate commerce
commission whloh had been so eon
strucd as to close the "lortland gate
way to Fuget eouna points on a oom
petltlve baals with the rat or the
Northern Paolflo railway. The sale of
tickets from Chtcaso to Seattle rla
28. I portiand at the aame rat as the North-
em Pacific had been discontinued by the
Southern Pacific, wtth the reeult that a
large proportion of the travel waa
thrown to the Northern Pacific, and
Portland might have been left out In
the cold.
The manner of the publication or me
rate, tt la now atated, waa what the
Tower, the present ambassador Is to Interstate commerce commission objeet-
f-raphlo orders have bn sent out by
he Southern Pacific to resume the sal
of tickets as heretofore. Prior to the
ruling- mad by th Interstate commerce
commission tickets were sold from Chi
cago through Hacramento. Portland to
Taopma and Seattle for 160.
When the new ruling was mad th
$60 only carried persons as fnr as Port
land, and th eitra cost of riding from
Portland to Seattle had to be added,
making the ticket coat fbS.CO.
Th Increase In the cost of the tickets
had th effect of making a certain olass
of travel take the rout over th North'
rn Pacific. The change In th travel
being felt mainly by the cities or Bao
ramento and Portland, and more espe
cially Inrtland, as most of the trains
to Portland went through Huntington,
leaving Sacramento to the south and
west. The changing back to the former
rates will send th travel back to th
old route and make conditions at Port-
retire from this post voluntarily or
to be recalled by the president, ac
cording to Information at the state
department. Tie appointment of
Secretary Bacon.' Is regarded as cer
' tain because of tie fact that the use
fulness, of Dartd Jayne Hill is ended
so far as American ambassador at
- the court of BerUn Is concerned, ow
log to the misunderstanding which
. Las suddenly developed as to his
standing with the kaiser. Nothing
. will be done, however, until the let
ter which the German emperor
reported to hare written to the pres
. ldent, explaining his attitude In the
affair is received and considered by
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Boot.
, - Kothlng further developed today
. to clear tfce mystery which has sur
rounded thw affair since the report
to the effect that Dr. Hill would not
be satisfactory to the kaiser.
Diplomatic factions In -Washing
ton discount the theory that Dr. Hill
Is not as able a diplomat as the
kaiser would like to hare as the
United States representative at his
court. The moet remarkable bit of
gossip relating to the whole affair
Is that It will be found, If the Tower
letter Is ever published, that Mrs.
Hill Is discussed therein. .
' - One of the officiate of the state de
partment who know Dr. Hill very
well, said today that the only rea
sonable supposition -was that the
German ccurtlers who had retailed
small talk t the kaiser, got hold of
the story of Mrs. Hill's "democratic
methods" wWle In Washington. This
official said that It was a well-known
fact that' Mrs. Hill was regarded in
society as "peculiar." Asked what j
that meant, he said:
"Well, she dresses too gaily for
d to, snd not th rate Itself, and tele- land and Saoramento normal again.

as the wife of an assistant secre
tary of state. One of her customs
was to go to market herself, often
on her bicycle. She usually wore

(Special Dispatch to Tbe Jonrnal.)
Corvallla. Or., March 28. Th Bell-
fountain High school building, recently
computed. Is one of th finest struc
tures of th sort to be found In the
rural districts of Oregon and la the Just
pride of southern Benton county. Built
at a cost of 14,(90, It Is provided with
all modern conveniences, such as heater,
patent blackboards and desks, etc, and
one of th best lighted school. bulld-
nrs in the state. Modeled on th cot-
tag plan, th school has that Inviting,
home-Ilk air found only in a few
schools of th best character.
Across the street is the little union
church, which Is a by-product of the
great religious gatherings of Simpson
ouapel and the BelUTountatn camp
mes iings, where Father Wilbur, Dr.
Roberts, I. D. Driver and other apostles
of Methodism expounded the gospel in
the early days of Oregon.
At Simpson chapel, four rhlles away,
was held the first Methodist conference
on the Pacific coast.
This farming community, which is
unusually gifted In those arts of de
bate, music and entertainment that are
the outgrowth of highly cultured in
fluences of long standing, may modestly
claim as Its own many of the public
men of Oregon, among whom are Con
gressman Hawley, who was born and
reared in this community. It Is th
boast of th people that there are 26
students from that locality now In at
tendance at colleges ana universities.

Ask any artist where the largest and most

to be found.
Ask any of the leading families, foremost .
schools and educational institutions or promi
nent musicians where they secured their in
strument. Ask any one who has the slight
est knowledge of pianos and their real value
where you can secure the greatest intrinsic
piano value for every dollar invested, and the
answer to each question will be the same.

On our new easy-payment plan there is
hardly a home, no matter how modest the in

Harris of being the "brains" of a gang
of confidence men who have obtained
nearly half a million dollars within the
last 10 years by arranging prize fights
and wrestling matches. The scheme
that cost him $37,000 was a wrestling
match between Ole Morris and an "un

wrestler who could beat the unknown

"club." Morrison threw the "unknown."
Th defeated wrestler fell heavily,

spurted from his mouth and dyed his

that the man had been killed and ran
from the building, carrying the stakes

Cavanaugh learned that red Ink was
used by the fakers to make tt appear
that the defeated man had burst an ar

posed death until Cavanaugh plucked
up courage to report the matter to the
police to aid him In the recovery of his
