"WhHt kind of a wife do you de
sire?'' he was naked.
"Well.'' answered the colonel slowly,
"if she would take me I'd like to many
the most beautiful girl in the world."
' A story said the 42 year old son of
the richest woman in the world had en
tered into a compact with his mother
that he would not marry until he had
reached his present age. This the col
onel denied.
"I have been willing

"What was the difficulty?" was
asked.
"Well." he answered, "I, like Barkis
was willin". but the girls wouldn't pro
pose to me. But I'v reached a differ
ent conclusion now. I find I must
propose."
"Have you any one In mind to whom
you may soon put the question?''
- "Well no," was tne response.
"Have you got your eye on any one
of the scores of girls who wrote to you
a few months ago proposing marriage?"
Boms Under Consideration.
. "I still have some of them under
consideration," he said.
"What kind of a girl do you want?"
"Merely the right ne."
. "Young or old?''
"Preferably young."
"Between 20 and 27?"
"1 might stretch a point either way."
"Blonde or brunette?"
"If beautiful, a blonde; If beautiful,
a brunette." answered the Impartial col
onel. "One or the other: of course
not both. I have, no Inclination to
ward polygamy."
Colonel Green laughed. He is a big
man and when he laughs, he laughs.
In discussing New York women Green
said:
"Women should marry with the Idea
of having children and caring for a
home. How many of the women here do
so?
"The majority of wealthy New York
wives, even though they have a child
or two. do not know any more about
why paregoric' Is given or when the

AN
AND TRAMP
BATTLE ON TRAIN TOP
(PoblUherf' tr 'xea Wlr.
Chicago. Aug. 12. In a desperate
hand to hand battle on top of a fly
Ins train with flashes of lightning the
only illumination, Charles . Tetiel, of
Chicago, was probably fatally wounded
early today. The battle occurred in
the southern outskirts of Chicago and
Tetzel's assailant, a tramp, escaped.
Tetsel, employed by the "101 Ranch
Wiia West Show," discovered the tramp
riding on the roof of one of the cars
of the train. The early morning storm
was at lta height but Tetzel, at the
risk of hi life, climbed to the top of
the car to inquire as to the intruder's
business.
"Get off of her or I'll throw you
off," screamed the tramp above the
roar of ths storm. The man seized
Tetzel and attempted to make good his
threat Fighting for his life, Tetzel
grappled with the stranger. Nearer
and nearer the edge of the car roof the
tramp forced his antagonist. In a des
perate effort to save himself Tetzel
missed his footing and slipped from the
roof.
Later he was found crushed, bruised
and delirious lylnar beside the Illinois
Central tracks. He was taken to the
Pullman hospital where he recovered
long enough to tell his story and then
became unconscious.

(Special to Tha Journal.)
Walla Walla. Wash.. Aug. 12. Two
big blasts were fired on the North
Coast division of the O-W. R. A N.
near Lyons Ferry, on Snake river,
this afternoon. The powder used ag
gregated 14 carloads, and ths blasts
in the main were successful. The
flrsfc 10 cars, wis entirely successful,
but the last blast blew rock all over
the . nehborhood. The explosions sent
a big wave up the river over t.' mile
and a quarter.
The work offloading the cliffs with
explosives has "been under way since
March 1. A large force has been en
gaged continually in this work and
thousands of feet of tunnels have
been driven to receive the masses of
powder necessary for the work. Be
fore this was undertaken the cliffs
were carefully measured and an Intri
cate and complete set of plans drawn,
showing those tunnels and shafts con
nected with them which were neces
sary to distribute the explosives with
in all the pockets of the cliffs. This
la done in such a manner that each
pound of powder would have Its par
ticular work to do and that the whole
mass of material would be acted upon
uniformly and equally. In order that
the same would be moved as required
without failure or excessive and un
necessary explosion.
The blast cost the contractor 160,
000 and was seen by quite a crowd,
including many railroad men.
there were no Injuries, although the
machine was wrecked.

I Oregon hotel occurred yesterday when
Messrs Wright and Dickinson, owners
of the hotel, relinquished active super
vision of the hostelry and promoted M.
K. MacKae from chief clerk to resident

clerk, was made chief clerk.
Mr MacRae, who has held important
positions with the leading hotels of the
northwest since 1884, bean his labors
in the Hotel Oregon In January, 1908,
In the capacity of chief clerk.
"MacKae is undoubtedly the best man
who ever officiated In the capacity of
chief clerk." said Mr. Dickinson. "Long
years ago he filled the position of man
ager cif another prominent hotel. Mac
Rae Is famed throughout the United
Slates for his wonderful memory, his
geniality, his veracity and faithfulness.
The promotion given him has been Just
ly earned, and is occasioned by the fact
that the owners of the hotel are very
buy men."
Besides operating the Hotel Oregon
they albn operate the Hotel Seattle;, In
Seattle, and it is rumored that they
have aspirations for still larger fields
and are about to erect hotels in other
cities. This does not mean that Messrs.
Wright and Dickinson are In any way
going to relinquish the supervision of
their present property. It merely means
that MacKae has won their confidence
and esteem and is worthy'. of dealing
with the details of the Motel Oregon as
iney may arlae. Mr. Wr ant or Mr.
Dickinson will be at the Oregon the
