Y , Tbla la the wlsb. and hope and belief
: of A. 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. .

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.

American girls, members of excellent
families, who were sent back to Am
erica last, yearthrough the bounty of
a generous angusnman.
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.

opera and the audiences there move
the writer to eloquence. He says It
Is Impossible to dream or an exhibition
of luxury more complete or more seduct

He-praises the excellence of the com
pany, -which he considers superior to
any In Europe, but says he cannot un
derstand the worship of Caruso or how
Americans can be satisfied with rich
ness of voice alone. This would not sat
isfy European audiences, who took for
