wJp Clough, chairman of the board

: "Presumably the members of your

"The railway companies which stand
behind . this enterprise. In providing

Legality of Sale of
Cannabis Question
Xiooal Druggist Will Be Arrested To
morrow for the Purpose of Making a
Teat Case Startling Discoveries.
An arrest will probably be made to
morrow of a druggist, whose name is
withheld, that the legality of the sale
of Indian Cannabis, or "hashish," to
voiine bovs mav be tested. Chief Pro-
bation Officer Mcintosh will ask the
city council next .Monaay to pass an
ordinance with an emergency clause
attached against the sale of the drug
to boys.
Ross C. Plurnmer, a member of the
state pharmacy board, said that he
would take up with the board the ques
tion of ruling on the subject, which, he
said, the board is empowered to do..
These measures follow the discovery
by Juvenile court officers that boys
can purchase the drug from several
stores without question. Boys accom
panied by officers went to four .stores
and bougnt quantities of the drug. Mr.
Mcintosh said a dozen boys, from 11 to
18 years old, are known to be addicted
to its use. The investigation yester
day followed about two months of
work on the matter by the juvenile
court officers.
The drug, according to Mr. Plurn
mer, is a substitute for morphine and
cocaine.

wrote:
Portland and the sea,
"I am glad to note the interest
taken in Ithis enterprise by the city of
Portland, much'of which is due to the
broad and far-seeing policy of the
great newspaper that you (addressing
the chairman of the excursion com
Jtiittee, who is a member of The Jour
nal staff) are connected with. It was
an auspicious event for the people of
Oregon when the downhill road to the
ocean passed to the control of the
great empire builder of the north
west. It would look as though Mr.
Hill had rounded out and completed
his great railroad system and could
well rest on what he has already ac
complished, but a man of his vision
and untiring energy sees far into the
future and no doubt he will go on and
on. I am glad to know that the Deo
pie of,Oregon appreciate his splendid
work and propose to honor him In this
celebration.
A latter from S. W. Eccles of New
ljHrk, president of the Alaska Steam
ship company, contains this para
graph:
"Have Just returned from a six
weeks' visit to .California, was in San
Diego the morning the Great Northern
arrived there with her cargo of pas
sengers. She is a fine looking craft
and I am sure she will perform good
service and prove a great pleasure to
the traveling public riding between
the Columbia river and San Francisco.
I hope her operations may prove suc
cessful and beneficial to those who
have spent a large sum of money In
building the ship and inaugurating an
important transportation line."
From H. B, Karling, vice president
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway company, the following ex
pression: "I desire to take this opportunity to
congratulate the people of the dis
trict directly concerned on the es
tablishment of this new steamship
route. Anything which tends to in
crease the tonnage moving via the
northwestern lines must bring bene
fits to all of the communities of the
northwest, including all of the car
riers serving this territory, regardless
of whether or not such other carriers
participate In the direct results."
. President James T. Ramage,- of the
j Spokane Chamber of Commerce, wrote
that he would try to be present at the
celebration. W. P. Conaway, president
of the Vancouver .Commercial club,
said the club wonld be represented by

FORGER KNEW ARREST ,
WAS BOUND TO. COME
SOONER OR LATER
Dunkirk Was Glad When 8
Years' 'Successful Career
of Fraud Came to End,
MAN INTERESTING STUDY
Success Probably tay In Pact That
Ordinarily Sis Checks Were for
Small Amounts. .
If you had been living by your wits
for about eight years, gaining your
livelihood largely by passing checks,
and were caught at last would" you be
glad of it?
Robert II. Dunkirk was:
Robert H. Dunkirk, using more
aliases than he can remember suc
cessfully, passed checks for eight
years before he was apprehended at
a Portland hotel last Sunday morn
ing by City Detectives Hellyer and
Tackabery.
And Robert-H. Dunkirk was glad
of it.
"I had the first good night's sleep
last night that I've had in months,"
he said the morning after his arrest.
I am glad It's over."
Some men might have gnashed their
teeth and cursed their luck, but not
Dunkirk. Arrest to him was a reliif
He had played a game of wits and
played it well; he had employed his
talents to the best of his ability, but
ever with the anticipation of arrest
staring him In the face.
Dunkirk Always on Move.
No matter how i he enjoyed the
money he gained or the company he
was able to keep through that monev
In the final analysis it amounted to
tittle. He had no place he could risrht
ly call home, he had no recognized
niche in. any community, the friend
ship of those men whose confidence
he abused, once lost, was never to be
regained.
Dunkirk had to be always on the
move and always on his guard to pre
vent a slip. Is it any wonder ho
didn't sleep well? He worked alone.
utilizing letters of Introduction as an
entering wedge of acquaintanceship
and relying upon this .acquaintance-
snip for indorsement of his out-of
town checks.
Of a. pleasing personality, a charm
ing conversationalist, wall groomed.
and well dressed, he was well able to
create any impression he wished to
give. One of his most recent imper
sonations was that of "'Robert ' H.
Duke of the American Tobacco com-
rany.
"I don't know that there is any such
person as Robert H. Duke," said Dun
kirk the other day. ! " I never said I
was a member of the Duke family
people took it for granted that I was.'
And Dunkirk was uniformly success
ful In giving an lmprpession that was
helpful to him whether he wished to
or not.
Something suspense, conscience or
what not seized "upon Dunkirk last
month, however, and he began a diary
recounting his actions. Its preface
portends his arrest;
"I am expecting at any time to be
apprehended for one or more of my
many .misdemeanors. The arm of the
law is strong and inexorable, so we
are given to understand, but In my
particular case the arm seems
strangely paralyzed, or posslbuy
asleep."
In less than a month he was ar
rested in Portland.
"Every line in that diary expresses
Just how I felt at Uio time it was
set on paper. I suppose you will call
me a 'bug' for writing it, but I felt
that way and so I did.
Asked how he happened to start
his check passing career, Dunkirk re
plied: "The lean times came and I
found people awfully gullible and
credulous."
By profession, Dunkirk Is a me
chanical appraiser. . He has traveled
extensively, especially in the tropics.
and it is due to acquaintanceships
made in these regions that he was
able to get some of his most influ
entlal Introductions.
Man Is Interesting Study.
Psychologically, Dunkirk is an in
teresting study. From what is known
of him and that isn't much it
would appear that after drifting into
his check , passing career he was un
able to get out. It was easier than
working, and in its way it was surer
pay.
Dunkirk's remarks indicate that he
knew lie was doing wrong and regretted
the fact, but as long.as people proved
easy and gullible,- as long as the law
seemed to be blind and he was smart
er than the other fellow he couldn't
quit and he didn't although arrest
was a genuine relief.
One reason for his success seems
to lje in the fact that ordinarily- his
checks were but for small amounts,
and it is significant that not until be
played for higher stakes was he ap
prehended. Dunkirk jsays candidly
that he was a piker. i
Here is a typical extract from his
diary that is Illustrative ot the
methods he employed:
"Reached Memphis as planned on
the morning of February 16, stopping
In room 506 at the' Chlsca hotel on
Main street, as 'Duke.' Ordered a
$50 spring suit from Guilfoil' and in
payment for same presented a $300
American Tobacco company check,
drawn on Hibernia bank. New Orleans.
Mr. Gullfoil indorsed the check. I
cashed it at his bank,x paid him $50
for the suit, and i everybody satisfied
until a few days later, when tho
check comes back marked no funds.'
Same old gag and then I'm hard to
find! Of course this boasting is poor
form on my part,; but on the square,
I think I am quite an efficient little
grafter, ua a piker scale, to be suce."
Dunkirk started for Omaha yester
day in care of an officer. He will
be arraigned there for passing a $500
draft on the Universal Film company.

Water Wagon or WoodWagon All the Same
Sometimes a good Samaritan drives
a milk wagon.
A wagon heavily laden with cord
wood and drawn by two cautiously
stepping horses, came down Yamhill
street early yesterday morning. The
asphalt was slippery with the morn
ing shower, and on the little down
grade between The Journal building
and the Portland hotel the horses kept
their feet with difficulty.
When It seemed that they sorely
would fall, the driver halted them, got
down from the load -and placed a stick
of cordwood under a rear wheel, so
that the 'horses could rest without
holding back on tho tongue.
The driver was puzzled, and was
shaking his head over the situation,
when along came one of the Brandes
Creamery company's light milk wag
ons. "What seems to be the trouble?"
asked the driver of the milk wagon, by
way of introduction as he pulled Up,
for he knew what slippery pavements
are, and understood without asking.
"Stuck," said the wood wagon driver.
Fears Roses Will Not
Thrive in New Soil
Mrs. James XT. Davis Discourages Plan
to Plant Bushes About Oregon Build
ing at Fair.
Mrs. James N. Davis, of 861 Haw
thorne avenue, an authority on rose
culture, . said yesterday that the plan
to plant roses about the Oregon build
ing cannot help but prove unsuccessful
and disappointing.
"In Oregon, where growing condi
tions and climate are most favorable,"
she said, "we find it necessary to plant
the roses we desire to Bloom in a given
year during the fall preceding,
"The conditions for growing rosea at
San Francisco are distinctly unfavor
able, specially roses transplanted from
Oregon. To attempt to do so- at this
late date means that exposition visit
ors will see about the Oregon building,
spindling, sick, non-blooming roses, and
they will wonder that we have hadtthe
effrontery to boast of the Portland
rose. j
"It would be far better to tell visit
ors to the exposition about Portland
roses, and invite them to come here
and see them for themselves, where all
conditions combine in the production
of the most perfect blossoms.
"The plan to send Oregon grape to
place about the Oregon building at the
exposition la much more feasible, for,
while the transplanted Oregon grape
will do no better than the transplanted
roses, it does not wither so soon." ; '
