I HERE'S HOW o , 1 By EPSON; I Keller is Convicted THE conviction of Frank Keller, jr. in the Polk county court is a victory for honest investment in the state of Oregon. Keller came to Oregon as a high pressure stock sales man an4 promoter. He proceeded about his business and be fore his activities were curbed he had created a company Which behind the front of honorable names had sold a mil lion dollars worth of stock to Oregon investors and used up nearly all the proceeds received from the sales. The parade of witnesses at Dallas was the familiar oneof misrepresen tation tn the part of salesman and expectation of large prof ' its on the part of the gullible-investors.' The misrepresenta tion consisted in salesmen conveying the understanding that no large salaries were to be paid, that officers. had paid in full for their stock, that a large shares of the proceeds were to be held in trust by the state. , . Keller was the man behind the Empire Holding corpor- . ation. He was the man who conceived it, was its sales man ager, its principal promoter.'This was not his iirst venture of the kind. Previously he had belli indicted for use of the mails to defraud. He made stock promotion: his business, and that, ' it would seem, without regard, for the interest of those who invested in his securities. Now he has been brought to book, has been tried, has been found sruuty. . - It is significant that the evidence introduced in the Dal las trial substantiated the material -which was printed in a series 6f articles in Hie Statesman, prepared by its manag ing editor. Not a single point developed in that series was refuted. The. Statesman undertook to expose the methods which had been used, and to relate the facts as they were revealed, leaving to properly constituted authorities deter e a e - ' an . e j n ail o mi nation 01 wnetner any crime naa Deen commirxea. inis ex posure was of untold value in the education of the investing I t j - - j ii i a. j i Tr"-i ! puouc lor saieguaimng me piaceraent ox meir luuus. sel ler's conviction re-enforces the - lesson. Trials of other officers will follow in which their cuilt or innocence will be determined for each indi vidual Regardless of the outcome of those trials, the convic tion of Keller is a great moral victory for the state in the enforcement of its laws against the financial racketeer. Judge Sawyer on the Diatom THERE was the definition of a lobster (or was it a craw fish) as a small red red fish that walked backwards, . which a scientist, (was it Huxley?) ruined by the process of eliminating each item of the description. Equally devasting is Judge Sawyer's analysis of the explanation of diatomace- ous earth giyen by Frank Jenkins, in his Klamath Falls pa per. Not satisfied with his score on the relative merits of the Deschutes and. Klamath potato, the Bend editor returns- fresh to this editorial foray on the offering of his neighbor ; editor. , Mr.' Jenkins should not be discouraged. There are thous ands of well-informed citizens of the state who are equally - ignorant of the true origin of diatomaceous earth. So we re print the following from the Bend Bulletin both as an exam . pie of the virtue of accuracy and a lesson in natural history: , "Interesting discourse on diatomaceous earth as on or the , natural resources of eastern Oregon is contained in a paragraph 1 In one of Frank Jenkins pleasing editorials on the day's news, appearing in the Krenlng Herald of Klamath Falls, and other publications. In the course of his comment. Mr. Jenkins says: Oyer In Harney county there is a mountain of diatomace- us earth; Diatomaceous earth Is a substance similar to chalk, composed of the fossilized skeletons of countless billions of ; marine - insects.' . : ; MTbe paragraph would be Interesting even if the statements i It contained conformed to fact. It is none the less interesting i because. In the main, they do not so conform. I There Is an Important deposit of diatomaceous earth In ; Harney county. On that It is possible to agree; beyond It, in the ; Interest of science, one must disagree. j. -Diatomaceous earth is sisnHir to true chalk only In gen f era! appearance, for true chalk Is a soft form ot limestone, while diatomaceous -earth is a silicate. Thus they are forms ot two entirely different elements, calcium and silicon. "Nor is diatomaceous earth composed ef the skeletons, f os- sfllsed or otherwise, ot marine Insects. It is the siliceous residue f of diatoms which, being unicellular, boast no skeletons. For that : matter, neither does an insect bar a skeleton. :' ' "But the diatom is not an insect. It is an alga, which is ot j the plant kingdom; an insect is of the animal kingdom, and is I strictly defined as one of numerous small JnrertebTates baring the body more or less obriously segmented, it belongs to the ' class fnsecta. comprising six legged creatures, although the term t is more loosely .used to include creatures rejoicing in the poases- slon of even more legs. Oh, yes, the insect is polycellular, too, f whl& differentiates it still further from the diatom. " Diatoms may be either marine or fresh water, but those ("which left behind them the diatomaceous earth to which Mr. ; Jenkins refers. wer fresh water-algae; not' marine. " ' ' Beyond that, the paragraph seems Quite accurate, and the gret that it does not mention, the extensi-e deposit of dlatomace , article in general contains much information of Value. - We re 4 ous earth in Deschutes county, but inasmuch as' Mr. Jenkins' . article aTowedly has to do with Lake, Harney, and Malheur, we will not press the point."

Jennane says that on a dull day the carrier can make his trip in an hour and a half, and on a heary day he takes three hours. At least half of the expense ot delivering mall to the rural patrons could be Bared without orerworking any body, and yet people point to the postoffice as a model of efficiency.
