A. Jains' and Truman Butler, both i of Hood River h were In Portland yesterday. Hoth are ardent advocates of J, the creation of the new county of Hood . III ver from the present county 6f Wasco . , .and contend that not only do the peo ", ' pie of Hood Blver desire the change but that the majority of the people In . the remaining part of Wasco county are of similar mind; Bitter nghta Heretofore : f ; Xha formation of Hood River county m has been the cause of bitter political battles in the legislatures for to past several sessions. .Uacb time the ores- tron or the county was -made the ob ject 'of bitter atiacks by residents of , Wasco county 'and because of uilierent trades and - combinations the passage tit the division bill was defeated. - This time the measure has been -taken before the people of the state, as Is provided by the present amendment of the constitution providing that corporations-may be founded by 'general laws but not by the legislative Msm bly by special tawfc -Both Mr. Jayne and Mr. Butler con tend that - all the legislature can ,do under, the present state of the law is to pass general law by the provisions of ' which any community may form a .. new county provided it compiles with the provisions of the law. Under this ' condition, therefore, the only way which a new county can be formed Is - by . the - initiative, which baa been 4- utilised in the present case. ' ..i.y.i, Mam :'Oeieral---atapport.-'-. X "All of the records of Wasco coun v ty show that the people adjacent to ; Hood River are able and willing! to . form and support a new county," said Mr-Jayne in discussing the question "Tyestcrday. "We have Uie area for a . new county. We have - the products, the wealth, the property to support a county government. There Is no rea son why we should not be permitted . to have the county., . "The desire for the new county is . : unanimous in the Hood River district," , continued Mr. Jayne. understand ' that the large majority of the peopla In the vicinity of The Dalles are also . In favor of allowing the Hood River ' peopla to have the new county if they if desire to have It. The two districts are different. They raise different : products, have different Ideas In many ways and are distinct. Hood River and i Its vicinity have the foundation upon 7 which to construct a new county, the people desire to have the new district created and I believe that It Is only . lust that the people of th stnte should i assist In giving them what thfey desire. i Healthy Popnlatloa at Start. -' - "The new county will have a popu lation of about 7,500 with an area, of ji 600 square miles. In. the district there are now 2.0 school 5 houses, seven of St which arigradd dC have frorri two to eight rooms each. There is also ;t i $30,000 hlh school under construe . ; tlon- Even after the division, should j It be made. Wasco county will have a population of 11,600 and a property val uation .of $6,467,720, thus leaving it 'one of the strongest counties in the , "If the people of the state understood? . tne ronomon surrounatng tne errort or the Hood Itlver people to secure the '. creation of a new county there would be .no doubt but that the entire vote of the state would be cast lor the . bill. As It is I believe that the measure will , be favorably considered by the voters ' or the state and tnat tne new county ; will be authorised." Mr. Jayne, and Jfr. Butler returned to thflr homes at Hood River yester day afternoon. .

STARVES WHILE ; IIUIITIH6 Fill -j ; y i Hungarian Girl Latest Vic tim of Tragic Studio Life in Jaris. Paris, May . J. "Starved to death," was all that the police surgeon could say the other day when the concierge of a house In the Rue Campagne Pre miere showed him the body of a young woman lying: in tha middle of a third floor studio. She was a student from seme village in Hungary.. She sas mere girl and ail alone. Those who knew her best a few American girls who studied in the same atelier called her Mary. They knew that she was very poor and not very well. She cams seldom to the restaurant they fre quented. Now and then they met her carrying a two-sou bottle of milk and half a loaf of bread. She waa described as talented. And now the police are trying to find out who her family la while Mary's body J les in the morgue. Such cases ars not very frequent, in the Montparnaase quarter. They only occur once or twica a year. The last time that it happened the victim waa an American girl, and before that it was again a Hungarlana boy that time. The story of his passing is now one of . the legend of . the , Ecole -des Beaux Arts. .Was QuUt Chip. ,' ' HI name was Ernest. He was a hard worker and something of a dreamer. He always smiled when there wasr any fun going, but be never shared actively in the sport. His fellow-students, with whom he was popular, put thia down to bad health. Ernest was pale and ethe real. He had a tremendous amount of talent, and worked from the fall of the flag to closing time. 'The students re membered afterward that he had been getting paler and paler, thinner and thinner for a long time. But - these things passed unnoticed at the time. One day, to the" surprise of every one, Ernest failed to appear. There were a few jokes about a possible flirtation. His absence was again noticed on the followine- day; then every one forgot all about him." . . ' .' One day, a fortnight 'afterward, aa the anatomy elaes 'of the beaur arts filed into the dissecting room, there1 was a sudden stop to horse play and jokes. The great silence that fell on the class was broken only when some one murmured "Mon Dieul" There on the slab was poor jurnesi. -nere was no anatomy lesson that day. An in vestigation showed that Ernest, had dronned in the street the hospital doc- ors said from starvation. He died, and aa there was no means of Identification he was taken to tne morgue.. Tne students afterward took up a collection and paid for a funeral. i,- :.- Tines Are Kara. . " Times 'are exceptionally hard this f'ear in the Montparnasse quarter. It s to be feared that the tragedy of the Hungarian girl will not be tne. only one in me nig coiony oi xoreign students there. Those who know ear that as likely as not the next victim will be an American. There are more Ameri can students than ever in the quarter, ana tne proportion or ineae wno are leading a precarious existence, too hard pressed to buy proper nourishment and too proud to write home for help,' la greater than ever. . , 51 -j- . Each year bring a fresh Immigra tion from- the United States of young men-and women with -few-dollars ana many dreams. -They come here, with vague Ideas of making their own way. Disenchantment awaits them. Not one out of 600 ever succeeds la earning yvhlle In Paris the -price of a square meaL. .The talent market U In a per- fietusl etate of overproduction, and it s th home student who gets first call. Even the exceptional ones who do earn a pittance by artlstto odd Jobbing gen erally succeed In wrecking their health.

Ksd Zdttl Money. These girls cam to Paris In the usual way, with enough money to keep them for six months or to, but determined to stay here for two years at least and go home famous. They took a studio together, in the Rue Campagne Premlere in the same house where the Hungarian girl died and did their own cooking In a chafing dish. When thoy were too tired or out of mood for cook ing they fell, back to the old resource of thin milk and crackers. Even at that their money gave out. By a great streak of good fortune one of the girls goc some xasnion piai.es 10 an. one re ceived two francs apiece for them, but it was an entire evening's work to make one. In this way the two friends man aged to exist one entire winter, study ing hard ell day at the art school and slaving over the fashion plates -at night-"- f 6orne of the boys at the school learned what was going on. They used to call on the girls at night and do the fashion plates for them. Help had come almost too late, however, for both young women were worn to- mere shadows of what they were when they came. Among ih visitors was a young Englishman who had a wealthy father. The youth wrote and told his elder all about It, with the result that the two girls were Invited for a prolonged visit. The good Eng lish family kept them for two months "feeding them up." Then the girls were Induced to accept the loan of two return tickets to New York and a five-pound note apiece. As a rule, such cases do not turn out so well. U. S. OPERA AUDIENCES DELIGHT FRENCHMAN Are Exhibition of Luxnrjr, Complete and Seductive, Says M. : Tardieu. Paris, - May; ; Z. Andre Tardfeu, the writer, who ha been telling of his ex periences with President Roosevelt and others while in " America, ha a three- column caustic article in the Temp -today on the Metropolitan opera house and the American theatre audiences..
