Miss Maine's story is brief but so
pitiful,. It seems that she was kid

a strange house In a strange city. She
soon gathered from the remarks of her
newly made friends that she was the
victim of the white slave traffic and
she determined to escape at any cost.
In some way she secured a suit of
men's clothes and disguised in these
crept out unobserved during the even

her In any way.
This picture shows Miss Maine just
after she had made her successful es

from the Multnomah county Jail last
evening on $40,000 bo:.d. He plans to
remain in Portland several weeks, vis

At the time Scrlber was arrested
there was but one count of forgery
against 'him. His bond was fixed at
$15,000. Later considerable complaint
was heard among the depositors at La
Grande because Scrlber had been re
leased. Afterward United States Dis
trict Attorney John McCourt filed an
other complaint charging forgery and
making- the bond $25,000 additional.
Mr. McMahan said this morning that
in all probability Scrlber's friends and
relatives wouM make an effort In the
near future to make good the banker's
snortage, wnicn has been estimated at
$125,000. If this is to be done It will
bo with the hopes of mitigating sen
tence of the court in event that Scrlber
decides to plead guilty to the charge.
Mr. McMahan, who is acting as Scrlb
er's attorney, said that as yet It has not
ed whether HcrlDer win n
guilty and ask for clemency or fight
the case which the government Is to
prosecute.
Scrlber will remain In Portland un
til he is wanted in La Grande to as
sist' those In chara-e of the bank a ar
r&irs in straightening out the situa
tion
Mr. McMahan said that the renorta of
mreais to lynon tne oanxer were with
out foundation and that Scrlber would
return to his home town at the proper
time. The attornev also said that
Scrlber's friends and relatives had no
tear or his commuting suicide.

I was taken down and was bed-fast
(suppression of urine). I continued
with my physician for several months.
Three months ' ago I commenced taking
vour kidney compound; took five or lx
bottles. I then had an analysis made
and was advised to use the Diabetes
Compound. I took five or six bottles
and can thankfully say that I am about
a well man. .- I feel sure that
I am coin ir to s-et entirely well If I can
only get something to aid In controllng

eighty years of age. would you recom

I am proposing to get well. -Yours, ,

Just another of those kidnev't oases
that were without hope until Fulton's

with kidney trouble is to take the only
known specific for " Bright's Disease.

TARDY JUROR'S EXCUSE
CAUSE FOR SMILES
Si OF
0REU
President Clark of North
Bank Road Thinks Mag
nate Will Do Much for
This State "Let Things
Settle," Is His Advice.
L. C. McCllntock, a Juryman In
the La Rose murder case, was
late In coming to court this
rooming. The court, the lawyers,
the. other Jurors and the spec
tators gave signs of restlessness
as the minutes wore on, and the
missing Juror did not appear.
When half an hour had elapsed
the courtroom had a frowning
look, and everyone looked for
some stern words from the
bench.
Finally the absentee arrived.
8oon the news spread, and with
It spread also the cause of tardi
ness. For SfcCllntock had art
excuse. He lost no time in ex
plaining that a young McCllntock
had arrived at his home, and bad
.delayed, tbe.hpur of arrival until
almost time for court to meet.
Frowns gave way to smiles.
Judge Morrow acknowledged that
the Juror had an excellent ex
cuse. It was agreed that a Juror
should not be fined because he
waited to hear whether It was a
boy or a girl.
Francis B. Clark, president of the
Spokane, Portland Seattle, returned
this morning from his week's trip with
J. J. Hill and other Hill railroad offi
cials, convinced that there will be some
Important work done by Hill In this
state in the, near future
"I discussed the situation in Oregon
and the need for greater railroad facil
ities here with Mr. Hill," said President
Clark this morning, "and although he
would make no definite statement to
me he said 'Let things settle a little
Frank. Let things settle, and then see
what we can do. Just wait a little
while.'
"Everyone who knows Mr. Hill knows
that he says what he means and makes
no false promises. I think It looks well
for the future and that Mr. Hill's well
known faith In Oregon will be evidenced
before long."
Mr. Clark said that Mr. Hill had en
Joyed his western trip Immensely and
was delighted with the signs of pros
perity to be seen throughout the north
west. ,
"He sees a great deal more than the
ordinary traveler," said President Clark,
"and remembers everything he sees. A
good many entertaining things hap
pened on the trip. For Instance, when
our train pulled Into Seattle the re
porters hurried out to meet Mr. Hill.
He listened to their questions for a
minute and then turned the tables on
them by firing a dozen or more sout
Seattle at them. He hadn't been there
for some time and was anxious to learn
some details of the town's growth. He
stumped them completely, however, and
so neither Mr. Hill nor the reporters
had their questions answered."
Mr. Hill's special left Seattle for Van
couver, B. C, where the railroad king
met his intimate friends. Lord and Lady
Northcott who had Just arrived on the
Kmpress or ( nina. They were taken on
board- the "Manitoba" Mr. Hill's car,
and will visit him In St. Paul.
FIGHT ON PEDDLERS
WILL BE RESUMED
The fight to drive peddlers from the
business district will be on In th-eoun-cil
again tomorrow owing to the 'mayor's
veto of the ordinance passed at the last
session. The mayor did not approve
of. the measure for the reason that it
purported to be an amendment to a
previous ordinance and In his opinion
contained no amendment. He therefore
thought the ordinance would be voM
and recommended it to the council for
further consideration.

Is the variety of WALNUT we will plant
" Down on the Farm "
at ;
versidetetards
There is one point on which all growers unite in regard to the
variety of walnut to be planted in Oregon, and that is they must be
the LATE-BLOOMING VARIETY.
THE FRANQUETTE, while originally a French variety, has
become known in Oregon commercially as
THE. ENGLISH WALNUT
Being a late bloomer, it escapes the spring frosts. It is VERY -HARDY.
This means that it requires little or no care. It is
PROLIFIC. This means big crops and large incomes. It is
FREE FROM DISEASE. This means no spraying.
THE FRANQUETTE is a very large walnut, rather oblong,
being pointed at apex and slightly flattened at the base. The shell
is medium to thin, well sealed and thick enough to ship well. The
quality is excellent, having a sweet, rich, nutty flavor. The kernel
is plump, filling the shell.
SUMMING UP:
The Jacobs-Stine Company is planting the best variety of wal
nut obtainable a walnut that will bring from 2 to 4 cents a pound
more than the imported nuts. The same thing applies to every
thing in connection with the Riverside Orchard Tracts.
THE BE5T I5 NONE TOO GOOD
A small tract can be obtained now for a very small payment
down and only $5.00 per acre each month. Eleven tracts sold
yesterday. Call while the good ones last. Our illustrated pamph
let is free for the asking. ; ,
