"I have soma Important announcements-
to make," said Mr,- BawhllL "I
also have a. true fish story and a true
pipe story td tell . .,
"Some time ago a Portland newspaper
man wrote an article about Central. Ore
gon, in wnioh he annlce of 'Bend the
Beautiful.' That Immediately became
the name of the town, which stretched
banners bearing the words across the
streets. Since then we have gone ex
tensively Into the Plain but profitable
business of raising hogs and hens and
the things they feed on. The high level
lands to the east are being filled up
wltn homesteaders who are going Into
the business right with tools and money
and equipment and are getting ready to
rumish Portland with more wealth
than the city nw possesses.
Wow for the Story.
"We are doing the hauling business
for- all the country 160 miles east to
Burns.
"Therefor the nam of the town has
ben ahangedItJs--, now 'Bend-' the
Busy.' Such It will remain, though
none of the beauty has been lost. It
Is, in fact, a very busy beauty.
Now for my true pipe story: Some
time ago a Burns concern bought TEOO
pounds of pipe and ordered It shipped
vi Vale; Ninety-five days had passed,
and report . cams that the pip was
somewhere on the' road between Vale
and Burns," but no one knew lust whore.
The shipment had been bought on . 60
days' time; the money became duo and
the pipe hasn't been received yet,
- "A second order for 6800 pounds) of
pipe Was filed, shipment to be mad via
the ' Dtschu V line.
Tells Fish Story.
"Now this Is- my story! - Befow the
railroad was -built to Bend we bad to
travel a week to Portland If we wanted
to taste lobsters or oysters that wore
not canned. Now with the railroad we
can make oysters and the aforesaid lob
sters our chief article of diet If we
are prosperous. One of our merchants
buys oysters by the keg and fish by
the - barrel;
- .".This '. all gives point to my most
Important announcement, that Bend is
Dooming as never before, we are not
misrepresenting any opportunity, but
we are proving that Central Oregon Is
a betur place for investment and work
than any other place we know of. We
have recently erected five handsome
stone buildings on as many principal
corners."

Fails to Win Girl; Takes Poison.

and swallowed poison. Verezello is dead.
The coroner is trying to discover what
kind of poison he took.
Two provisions of the federal' stat
utes having to do with the trial and
punishment of criminals by the govern
ment are suggested by United States
Attorney John McCourt as worthy of
serious consideration on . the part of
those who may revise -the Oregon crim
inal statutes at the next session of th
legislature. Both, says Mr. MoCourt,
have been found effective by the federal
government and superior to the state
statutes.
First, regarding the Imposition of the
death penalty, the federal practice al
lows the Jury to determine whether .the
convicted manshall - be- sentenced to
life imprisonment or to be executed.
Prior to 1S97 there' wore a large number
of crimes in the federal penal code pun
ishable by death. When the code was
revised that year these crimes were lim
ited to murder and rape and a provision
was added allowing the jury to deter
mine whether the convicted person
should be executed or not Section 830
of the penal edde now reads;
"In all cases where the accused is
found guilty of murder In the first de
gree, or rape, the Jury may qualify
thereto "without uapital punishment,' and
whenever the Jury shall return a ver
dict qualified as aforesaid, the person
convicted 'Shall be sentenced to impris
onment for life.'!
The other provision which Mr. Mc
Court believes would be a beneficial
change In trie state statutes Is section
1024 of the revised federal statutes,
which permits the Joining of different
charges in one Indictment. This pro
vision practically does away with the
escape of criminals on technicalities
the bane, of the present state criminal
practice. It permits the consideration
by the court and Jury of the various
attendant features connected with a
crime of which a man may be charged.
As It Is now, a man may have commit
ted a number of similar offenses at or
about the same time, but he can be
tried for one only, and the evidence of
the others is not admissable. The es
tablishing of technicalities Is compara
tively easy, and the escape of guilty
men frequent thereby.'
It is claimed by Mr. McCourt that the
federal statute simplifies matters rreat-

Salem, Or., Jan.' 1. One of the hap
piest children in the state next fall will
be the 'winner of the thoroughbred
Scotch Collie to be offered by C. V.
Nairn of Amity as a first prlae for a
child's display of vegetables, corn, etc.,
at the state fair. Mr. Nairn is the first
man to answer any of a series of let
ters now being sent out to breeders and
producers throughout the state by
State Superintendent Alderman asking
individual prizes for children's exhibits
at the state fair.
The plan Is to encourage industrial
work through the public schools of the
state by offering inducements to the
children to make exhibits of the product
of their work first at their own local,
county or district fairs, and later to
bring the best of these to the state
fair. This movement is to be carried
to every county in the state by the aid
of the. State Bankers' association and it
Is thought It will bring the entire state
Into fuller harmony with the state fair
than ever before,
What Mr. Nairn, a practical and suc
cessful farmer and breeder, has to say
of this movement for the betterment of
country life in Oregon is both Interest
ing and significant: " "I thank my
parents for instruction in farming when
I was a, child., Father would stay with
us boys at hay -me he would spend
days with us until wo could mow with
the scthe as even as a mower. Ho
would teach ub to sow with both hands
as even as a seeder, to single turnips,
to ho potatoes. Kverythlng pertaining
to the farm was thoroughly taught.
Then he would teach us how to build
hutches for our rabbits and cots for our
pigeons. We were happy on the farm
and had no ueslre for the small town or
the city."
