her much praised mother consented to
allow her 'to enter the .realm of musical

Passengers arrived in this city' from
the south tell interesting stories of the
escapades which make Dunsmulr and his
pretty, companion the talk, of Mexico and

Tha pair began the swath cutting pro-

made her a welcome guest in the cities

every eye witness say was in harmony
with the temperature of tha southern
climate. ' Though the spectators-- were
mostly Indians and the pavilion an open
air afair, young Dunsmulr reveled in
the plaudits that his , fair companion
won. ' ' ; : :
"It was a spectacular affair," said
one of the eye witnesses who arrived
In San Franclnco on the steamer San

Only those who met Miss Russell and

constitution shall apply to measures ap
proved. by people declaring what shall
be subject to taxation or exemption
and how it shall be taxed or exempted,
whether proposed by the legislative
assembly or by Initiative petitions;

thorised to regulate taxations and ex

amendment makes it necessary that all

unwillingly we concluded that his credu

for what Balllnger has been allowed to

Why did the attorney general of the
United States heed to misdate a docu
ment in order to deceive the public
about the amount of investigation made
before a public servant was dismissed?
The "Eternal Way." - :
Why did th president of the United
States 'need to tell the senate he had
based . bis decision partly on a report
of the attorney general which did not
exist; and whv did he conceal from the
senate a document which would have
shown that the '"exoneration" of Sali

by the interior 'department? ? " . .:
The ' reason that the president, the
attorrfey general, and th Interior de
partment struggled so hard to suppress,
by shameless trickery, the essential doc
uments in the Balllnger case, is that
the LawlerBalllnger report, on . which
the president founded his so-called ex
oneration, Is a wicked document; a false,
cruel, cheating document; a report so
full of lies and oppression that it Justi
fies our term, "The American Dreyfus
Case."- If the president believed this
evil concoction, no wonder he discharged
Glavls and allowed Plnchot Shaw,
Price and Hoyt to be sacrificed also to
the serpent-slaying Achilles. Mr. Taft
wrote a few months ago that he had
seldom gone so deeply into any matter
as into this. Then alas for him!

It is no wonder the administration

the fighting powers of Mr. Brandels,

whole plan was to refuse to answer
squarely any questions, treating them
all as "persecution," and to He with in
credible freedom. . It was only at the
end of weeks of struggle that Mr.
Brandels obtained absolute proof of

Mr. Balllnger denied any personal

Now, by the way, we will answer, in
a brief Who's Who, this question of Mr,

dels is ihe man who, more than any oth
er, is responsible for a system of sav

chusetts ahead ; of all other states In
the effort to make old age easier for
the poor. He is the man who, something
over a year ago. won the Oreeon -case
4n the : supreme court of the United
btates, and thereby settled the prin
ciple that laboring women may be pro
tected by state law. against long hours
of employment He , is the man who,
only a few weeks ago. left the Ballln
ger investigation to run out to Illin
ois and win, before the supreme court,
a victory similar to the one in the Ore
gon case., He is the man, who, in the
well known gas controversy, defended
the interests of Boston, which now has
a better arrangement with hef gas. com
pany man any other big city in Amer
ica, Ha Is the nan who went down
to Cooper , Union, In New York ,City,
some, years before the : Metropolitan
Traction company tailed, and explained
In figures exactly how the frensied
finance of that company would bring
disaster, He Is tbe man who, almost
single handed, conducted the- campaign
against the New Haven merger with the
Boston & Main a He is the man whose
attacks are always on the predatory
powerful, and who ; Is ever ready In
defense of, the undefended many.' He
is,- we hope, a man who has ahead of
him long years in which to arouse the
fury of papers Influenced as the "Sun"

growers of Hood River take exceptions
to the Statement of Horace W, Day, of
the commission firm of Scobel & Day,
of New York, that the YeUow Newtown
apple will soon become almost obsolete.
Hood River is setting heavily to New
towns. In many cases the orchards are
being set solid to this variety.
When attention was called ta Mr.
Day's statement at a recent meeting of
the White Salmon fruitgrowers, sev
eral of th Hood River growers inter
preted the motive to mean that New
York wbuyers desired the White Sal
mon, Mosler and Hood River districts
to grow more red apples for the east
ern market and less yellow apples for
the foreign market.' - , ,
The Hood River Newtowns sold last
year for 12.40 per box f. o. b., and a
fewdays ago were selling in England
for ' $9 per box. Further exception is
taken to the statement that the bigger
the- apple the better. Hood River has
been better able to seoure large markets
and higher prices for the medium sized
apples than for -the extra large ones,

half of the damt the lining of spillway
with concrete, and the dry fill of the
western section. T parallel ridges
of rock and earth stretch across the val

ridges the hydraulio fill is being made.
In the east half of the dam the hydraulio
fill Is at S3 feet above sea level, whioh is
within 62 feet of the final height. Ir
the western section the" hydraulic fill
has Just been begun. Of the total ap-
