The Peoples Warehouse Where it Pays to Trade Save Your Coupons STMT NO. 1 ill SWEEP STATE DE LIB HIES OF DEATH VALLEY Paul Pe Laney, formerly employed on the East Orcgonian, Is now edit ing the Death Valley Magazine at Rhyolite. Nevada, and in the last Is? sue' describes Death Valley In the fol lowing graphic manner: Death Valley is a name ot magic as well as of terror. In the Pahute language the valley la c.illed Tomesha, meaning "ground afire." To the Jakhawkers" who discov ered it in 1S49. it is a nightmare, a memory of hell. They gave it its name. x To the prospector today, it is a mystery, a vague danger-spot on earth, with a thousand bony hands beckoning men on to death. No two pairs of eyes ever saw it alike: no two minds ever formed the s.ime conception of it; no two mem ories ever drew the same picture of it: no two mirage-lakes of the same f.'rm ever glistened in the sun ahead of thethirst-tortured traveler. "This valley has a length of about 60 miles and an 'average width of from five to 10 miles." says official ly, Marius P.. Campbell of the United States geological survey. "At the lowest point its floor Is supposed to be about 4 50 feet below sea level." "The valley has a length of 120 miles and a width varying from three to 10 miles" officially states Sydney H. Ball of the United States geologi cal survey. "The lowest point within the area mapped is about 280 feet be low sea level, but 15 miles farther south the depression is at least 125 feet deeper." Mr. Campbell compiled his data In 1502; Mr. Ball made his report In 1S0T. "If you can cross it under 25 miles at any point you will have to find some trail that has never yet been discovered." says an old prospector. The fact that It Is surrounded by abrupt mountains with few passes re quires several days' travel over most of the trails before Death Valley prop r can be crossed. Death Valley, still, mysterious, awe inspiring, with Its silent depth and uncanny legends, appeals like magic to the unscientific. The unlearned man beholds it from the mountain tops and visions of mystery flit through his brain, and every inch of the vast area possesses to him an In terest that Is superstitious. To the scientific man, it is a study with out an end. It appeals to him as an un fathomable spot upon earth where r.ature has played her greatest pranks to puzz!e the student Its vastness of smallness deceives all men who behold it, so that the scientific differ In conclusions as well as the unlearned. One may stand upon an eminence and see every Inch of It, and yet to survey it and exam ine it as one would other like areas of the earth's surface, would require a time and a capacity 'possessed by few men. Funeral and Grapevine mountains on the east tower above it from 6000 to T000 feet, and the Panamlnt range on the west ranges higher than 10, 000 feet. At no approach to Deatn Valley Is there a pass possibly under 4000 feet above its floor. At many places the walls are - perpendicular and where It la approachable, a half day or more of travel Is required to . reach the edge of it. When one has reached It through the long journey of stifling heat, surrounded by drifting sands or long stretches of erystallied salt-beds glistening In the sun. with high mountains tfwerlng to thesldes on either side, shutting one out from the world, there, in the giant of sepur chers, one realizes the vastness of the place, and the lack of ability of any man to study or examine it suficiently to form a satisfactory conclusion. Visions of green lawns, running brooks, singing birds and the busy life beyond the mountains call out in the stillness of the place, and one does not long remain deaf to their calls. From the top of mountain peaks, some of them eternally covered with snow, one may look down almost straight on the earth's surface. The valley, lying between the two great ranges of mountains which seem to come together at each end; bears the form of a huge serpent From the mountain crests one sees lakes and meadows, and stretches of green woodlands. It was these that doubt less gave, the parched-lipped Immi grants of old the courage to plod on to the depths of the valley after crossing the barred and waterless mountains. But when the valley Is reached, the lake beds are either found to be of salt-brine or of an alkali substance that gives out a reflection like wa ter. The meadows are long stretches ow dry salt-grass and the green wood lands are small thistly mesquite bush es peculiar to that soil. PULLMANS TO BE "DRY." Sak of Liquor Will Be Abolished by Sleeping Car reople. Pullman cars are "dry" now. Following Its decision of last Feb ruary to abolish the sale of all liquors on its cars In every part of the United States, Canada and Mexico as soon as the stock on hand could be disposed of without loss, the Pullman company has finally put that rule into effect, and given strict instructions to all Its division superintendents to see to it that the rule Is not deviated from In the least, stat'es a San Francisco re port. The left-over stock has ben sold back to the wholesale liquor dealers. The company has- taken this action owing to the great Increase in the number of hlstricts of its territory where prohibition Is being enforced. Furthermore, not only have these changed conditions of the past four teen or fifteen month cut deeply Into Ihe profits formerly derived from this source, but on long or through runs liquor canNbe sold only for portions of the distance, and the company's of ficials found they were constantly In danger of prosecution for law-breaking through the carelessness of em ployes. This was particularly the case In states like Maine. Kansas. Texas and Oeorgla and In many towns In other states, where under the local option law prohibition prevails. The only trains on which liquor can be had are those with dining cars, and It must be used ln,the latter. The various roads own and control these dining cars and the Pullman people have no Jurisdiction over them. There Is serious trouble In the pub lic school at Klona, "Wash. Last Fri day all the girls In the room of Prin cipal R. H. Simmons left the room and the building when the principal Informed them that they were so badly boy-struck they could not do Justice to their studies. The parents of toe girls uphold them In resenting the Insult and the principal has been asked to resign, which he refuses to do without a hearing. HOTEL ARKHVALS. Hotel St. George.

Muehlno Shall Ho Swept Amiy Many Antl-Siateiiieiit Men Are Switching Over to the Peo ple's Side. The Oregon Sunday Journal says of tho prospect of statement No. 1 swooping the state at the coming June election: Eight legislative candidates pledg ed to statement No. 1 hove been plac ed In the field by tho voters of Wash ington, Yamhill, Lincoln and Tilla mook counties in opposition to the antl-statcment No. 1 nominees elected at the recent primaries. Non-partisan mass meetings of the voters of those four counties were held Friday and Saturday nt Hillsboro and MeMlnnvllle for the purpose of nomi nating candidates who would be pledg ed unqualifiedly to vote for the peo ple's choice for United States senator, and there Is little doubt that the men thus nominated will be elected In June. Sentiment In favor of statement No. 1 Is overwhelmingly strong In the leg islative districts represented In the.m mass meetings. Republicans as well as democrats are determined that the will of the people as expressed In the June election shall be observed by the legislature. The movement Is distinct ly non-partisan, the two parties being equally represented on the new ticket. Barrett Changes Front. One of the most significant Indica tions of the temper of the voters of the founr counties represented In these mass niootiifgs s-the fact that W. N. Barrett, who was nominated In thp primaries on a "republican voters' choice" platform, has changed front and has subscribed to statement No. 1. Mr. Barrett realized that the mass of his constituents would be opposed to the election of any candidate who had not pledged himself unequivocally to statement No. 1, and he thererore concluded t bow to tho popular will. When It was announced at the Me Minnville mass meeting that Barrett had decided to adopt the pledge em bodied In statement No. 1, the news was received with cheers and he was made the nominee for state senator from the 24th senatorial district. The Independent vote in Washington and Yamhill counties Is very heavy and they are recknnod In the doubtful column In all close contests over state elections. In 1906 Chajnberlain car red Yamhill by 115 vofes and Wash ington county went against him by only 31. In Lincoln and Tillamook counties the vote Is comparatively small, but in both, Chamberlain re ceived a good vote in tho last state campaign. In the four counties, Lincoln. Til lamook. Washington and Yamhill, Chamberlain ran behind Wlthycombe In 190 by only 29 votes. In the present campaign the adherents of Chamberlain and of Cake are alike In terested In seeing statement No. 1 can didates elected to tho legislature, and there l little reason to doubt, there fore, that the nominees of the Hills boro and MeMlnnvllle mass meeting will bo successful at the polls In June. Plans are already on foot In other counties of the state for the nomina tion of Independent legislative candi dates who will be pledged to statement No. 1. nnd present Indications are that an overwhelming majority of the next legislature will be committed to the election of tho people's choice for United States senator.
