San Francisco, July' IB. Abe Ruef Is
again In trouble. The latest woea of
the fallen boss make Job look like a
rank beginner. Ruef says he feels like
an automoblllst who has Just been
stranded in the middle of a Prohibition
state and not a horse in sight.
Abraham's troubles began afresh
when the men on his ball bonds discov
ered that the luxury of writing their
signatures upon the documents was go
ing to be expensive work. They find
they will not be allowed to pay just
once for the Joy of helping their old
friend Abe. but that everv fniiulxltlvp
deputy asses&or would endeavor to
learn whether they had been making or
losing mojiey.
Announcement made at the imiMsnr'n
office that the sworn statements made
by the persons on Ruef's bond would be
accepted as th basis for tholr mv tht
year is the bombshell that has created
such widespread consternation. Of
course, no one ever tells the assessor
how much money he really has. but or
dinarily there Is no harm In letting th
court know your financial standing. As

Salem, Or., July 18-r-Oeorge W. Wal-
ther, a nephew of the lata Wendell
Proebstel, living at Jefferson City, Mo.,
has aat up a claim to the 160 acres of
land In Albina.' over which there la a
controversy as to who Is the rightful
and legal owner. The traot lies in the
residence district of Albina and com
prises what is known as the Irving,
Cook and Williams avenue additions, a
very valuable tract. The title in the
land Is not clear and recently Assistant
Attorney-General I. H. Van Winkle
started an investigation Into the titles
to see if escheat proceedings might be
instituted.
Mr. Walther saw the account of the
Investigation being carried on by the
attorney-general's office in The Jour
nal and writes from Jefferson City. Ma,
as follows:
'I desire, with your permission, to
address you regarding that 160-acre
tract of land lying in the residence dis
trict of Albina, of which Jane Proebstel
waa the original grantee. The title of
this tract. I understand, you are lnves
1 1 sating, expecting to unearth the frauds
that were perpetrated to oniain mat
tract of land from the Proebstel heirs
and so covered up as to make It hard to
untangle.
"Wendall Proebstel. ne nusimna oi
Jane Proebstel, was the only heir liv
ing in this country at the-time of her
death. They had no children and 'the
agreement between them waa that after
her death he was to nave tne entire
estate as long as ho lived, and when
he died one half of said estate was to go
to her heirs, if there were any, ana the
balance to his heirs. When Wendall
Proebstel died it is said that he had
about $40,000 in a Portland bank with
all of his papers, and all of which were
stolen and made away with.
My mother was a sister or wenaan
Proebstel and died in his house In the
spring of 1866, and was" buried In Jthe
cemetery that was on their tract of
land at that time. I am a nephew of
Wendall Proebstel ana there were, be
sides myself, six direct heirs to his
estate, some of whom are dead but nave
children living.
"We are making an effort to get to-
frether and see what can be done to es
abllsh our rights in this matter, and' I
would thank you for any information
you see fit to give me regarding that
tract of land, the circumstances and
conditions surrounding the same.
Thanking you for an early reply, yours
truly, GEORGE W. WALTHER."
As the supreme court of Oregon has
decided that Wendall had no claim
whatever to the estate of Jane, his
heirs, of whom Mr. Walther 1 one, have
hardly any claim.

spinners here today are gravely dis
cussing a project to make a 5 per cent
reduction In wages, which they are
afraid to inaugurate because it is al-1
most certain to result in a strike.
While the master spinners urge the ne
cessity ef a reduction on -the grounds of
slackness in trade, the employes object.
They take the stand that their wages
were not raised while times were good,
and that thev should be protected now.

P. & G. Naphtha Soap sells for no more

P. & G. Naphtha Soap is the best naphtha soap; and,
because it is best, you should use it.
But if, in a year or two or three, some other manufac
turer comes- along and makes a better soap, you should
use his.
It does not seem possible to produce a better naphtha
soap than "P. & G."
The materials of which it is made are very much better
than those used in ordinary naphtha soap.
"P. & G." contains no rosin. Most naphtha soaps do.
Rosin is cheap. That is why it is used in preference to
materials that cost more and do better work.
"P. & G." contains cocoanut oil. No other naphtha
soap does. Cocoanut oil is the highest grade material used
in making laundry soap.
But and this is important the price of P. & G. Naph
