"Murder has no .place in his insanity taking life is abhorrent to him but to destroy innocence,, to kill virtue, to mur der a soul those are common to; him and his type." WARNS OTHERS Apparently sensing the iragfedy that was to come later the woman wrote" in her diary, under date of May 12 : "Before another day passes and ere my life is taken I want to leave this word of warning to. any other girt; or woman who may be ready to embark upon the sea of companionship wiUt a man.' j " "Let my poor, ead. broken heart, crushed hopes and blighted life be a warning. "Know your man before you give liim your soul, and when I say know him, I mean not only the good alid the sunny j side the Bugar-coated side, the preten- j tious, flattering, false tide but know ' the side that is not at its best. Know the' side the world fails even to see. Know the side that comes to life only in the presence of the 'four walls and you. ; "Know him at his wovst, not his best, before you sell your soul and become ever afterward his slave. For once you give it to him you can never get it back again no matter how hard you try. j "A woman only has power real power once with a man, and thati is when he s madly in love and wants all she's got to give. Once given the charm is "broken for him the battle ts won.," GATE HER ALL ! "This is not justice, but it is a tradi tion as old as civilization and in spits of the light that is coming not yet come) it remains a coldblooded fact at this time (1920). "Women fit their lives to men ; men never fit theirs to women.' "I do not wish to be misconstrued: as meaning that I think all men are bad and wrong. Far from it but it has been my misfortune to give all I had to give to a man a living devil (regardless of what the people may say) before I knew that I had cast my lot astray. j "Fate never says to us. Take this road, or that. We are always far along the road before we know which road It Is. . . "Even-then we might turn back (in some sense of the word), but we.don't not so often as w'e keep right on to ee what is waiUng just around the corner. "Education, culture all that Js sup posed to lift a man above the level of the beasts were used by him to pervert his own .nature that he is able to descend to bestial depths that the dumb animals themselves are unable or incapable of reaching. In what he calls 'love he is insane as many others are. The meth ods of securing the object of their desires vary, but the motive that prompts is the same-the end sought, is identical." POEM PART OF DIARY As indicaUng the poetical side of her nature the following poem was found in the diary: j THINKING j If too think that yon re bten, ' !

', ' ' , Mountain Sheep in Douglas Are Goats, Asserts Timberman Mountain sheep which WV HV Dirrett of Albany, ex-gulde for Colonel Roose velt, claims to have discovered in the mountains of Southwestern . Douglas county, are a band of well bred angora goats, according to the contention of A. W. Morgan, , timber land dealer, who has offices in the Chamber of Commerce building. "The alleged discovery by Dirrett calls to mind the fact that this band was discovered by same other hunters several years ago," says Morgan, "and that these hunters developed an appetite for mountain sheep and killed and devoured several of the band. "Jimmy Yoakenv an old time" miner and prospector, is the guardian angel of this band and he spends much of his time watching over live band, of which there are 300." FOREIGN ESTATES NOTTAXEB OREGON LOSESMILLIONS Salem, jOr., Dec. 3. -Millions of dollars of Oregon property, owned by foreign estates, : escape payment of inheritance taxes aggregating thousands of dollars annually. 1v? cause of the failure of the state law - to make i provision for the taxing of foreign corporations, -whose a Bets consist wholly or in part of real and personal property within this state. :'' I'..'' -y. j - j This condition is called to tlie atten tion of the committee named by Gov ernor OlcoU to. gather data on state sys- terns of taxation and. ways and means for increasing the state's revenue In 'a letter by slate Treasurer Hoff. who sug gests an amendment to the Inheritance . tax law covering such foreign corpora tions. ! 'f' j 'I' . - : .- : - -,. !. 1 As a ipae In point, Hoff points to the estate of Henry Miller, who died in 1916, a resident of -California. The appraise- , ment nf tha Miller estate showed rroii ' valuation bf $41,000,000, Including prac- ticallyj all the stock of the Pacific Live- -stock company, a California ecrrporailon, with real property to the value of Il,690. 000 and personal " property valued lat " ll.200.C00 located In Oregon. Because or the failure of the state law to Include foreign corporations no inheritance: tax haa been (received by Oregon from; this 12,890,000 pregoh . estate, Hoff declares. Frequently a similar eoaditlon arises regarding the timber lands of the state," -Hoff writes, "and ..when it, is recalled that foreign corporations own a large-, i portion of our timber, lands, estimated as high as 90 pr cent, and further that timber is one of the foremost- assets of thU state, lit readily can be seen wherein this law fails to operate where' a tax would be rnoat equitable." The committee to whom Hoffs sugges tion is addressed consists of 1. N. Day and C. C. Chapman of Portland and Miss Cornelia Marvin, ' state librarian, of Salem.
