Coprrifht iqoo by Hart Schaffner & Man g g j PEOPLES WAREH ABSURDITIES OF XEW STATE KOAD LAW Salem, Ore. So replete is chapter 143 of the general laws of the last legislature (house bill 81) with am biguities and contradictions that if the strict letter of the act were to be ' followed out, now that it is irt effect, it would be unlawful for any vehicle with tires measuring six inches or more in width to be hauled over any Improved road In a county west of the Cascades carrying a load of less than 4500 pounds in weight. Xo max imum weight is prescribed for this character of vehicle. House bill 81 Is intended to regu late the weight of loads of cordwood, sawlogs, lumber, ties, timbers, piling or heavy merchandise to be hauled on the Improved public highways or the several counties of the state, and gives the county courts jurisdiction to make the necessary regulations by order. No doubt the Intent of the au thor of the bill was to limit the max imum weight to be hauled upon wagons of different widths of tire to protect the improved highways from damage by being cut up. It is diffi cult to say, however, what view a court would take of the act as a whole should the occasion arise to test Its legality. Section 3 of the act, after reciting the powers of the county court in making an order regulating tht weight of loads to be hauled over a certain road, says: "The maximum weight thereof (load) shall not be less than 3500 nor more than 3500 pounds for any vehicle having tires of any width less than four Inches, nor less than 3500 nor more than 4500 pounds for any vehicle having tires of more than four inches and less than six inches In width, nor less than 4500 pounds for any vehicle having tires of six Inches or more In width," etc. From the latter clause it would appear that it would be un lawful to haul a vehicle having tires of six Inches or more In width over an Improved road unless It carried a load of not less than 4500 pounds. SEATTLE MAX KnXS GIRL WIFE AXD HIMSELF Seattle. Unsuccessful In his at tempt to effect a reconciliation with Mildred Payne McComb, his 17-year-old wife of a year, and to get her to agree to accompany him to Los An geles, where they might start mar ried life anew among strangers, J. W. McComb, aged 38, shot and klllea her at an early hour Wednesday morning as she lay asleep In a sec ond floor bedroom of their home at 3436 Erie street, near Leschi park, and then, crawling over her dead body, sent a bullet into his own brain, which must have caused instant death, according to Deputy Coroner William Barthwlck. His arms and the weapon, an old-fashioned 41 caliber Colts, fell upon the young girl whom he had loved. The double tragedy was not discovered until late In the afternoon. McComb was a conductor on the Yesler Way cable line. The couple became estraned three weeks ago and McComb left the house, going to live with a sister, Nell McComb, who resides a few blocks away. Neighbors heard two shots fired at H For a few more days our HALF PRICE SALE will be in full blast, during this sale we are, se ling any spring or summer suit in' our stock up to and including $25.00 values for exactly half price, and all heavy weight and all suits over $25 are reduced one-third.

GET FORTUNE OF $75.0(10 IX A SINGLE BLAST Downievllle, Cal. Between $75,000 and 3100,000 in almost pure gold was loosened by a blast in the Eldorado tunned at Allegheny, this county, last evening. Hatfuis of gold with parti cles of quartz attached were picked from the floor of the tunnel. This find promises to eclipse even the Six- teen-to-One and the Tightener, botn near neighbors. H. L. Johnson, own er of the Tightener, bonded th(? Eldo rado two weeks ago for $23,000. The Morning Glory mine, nearby owned by Rohrig Brothers, has Juft hroken into rock of Immense value, big slabs sprinkled and seamed with gold being exhibited. The owners re fuse to say what their strike broke, but it is said to be $70,000. An old-fashioned rush Is on to-Alle-gheny from all directions, and men of every vocation and of every age are flocking into the district to stake cialms. II.' L. Stark, consulting engineer for George Wlngfield, the well-known millionaire mining man of Goldfield, was there some time ago trying to buy and consolidate the Tightener, Slx-teen-to-One, Eldorado, Morning Glory and other rich properties, but Mr. Wingfield's wealth proved Inadequate. Excitement is running high. ALDRICII BILL DISPLEASES. FRENCH LACE MAKERS Paris. The free admission of a certain type of lacemaklng machine granted by the senate tariff bill in Washington has tempted only one. lacemaking firm in Calas to establish a plant in Senator Aldrlch's state. This' It is asserted, is one reason why the bill permits the entry of only one kind of machine, while nine others used (ln Calas are excluded. M. Sayoux, secretary of the Feder ation of French Merchants and Man ufacturers, predicts a tariff war of retaliation. "This Is an attempt to rob France of one of her most Important Indus tries," said, M. Sayoux. "Even be fore the bill allowing free importation of this lacemaklng machine was made public, lacemakers of Calas had been visited by agents of American rail ways and steamships, offering trans portation of their machines at far be low usual rates. "Our annual exportation to the United States of lace and embroidery averages $12,500,000." State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucm Conn ty, s. Frank J.

That the Japanese resident of the west is a better Chris tian than the one who seeks to keep him out of the schools and the coun try was the Intimation of Dr. A. W. Halsey of New YorU, secretary of the board of foreign missions, In his ad dress following the report of the board before the general assembly of thp Presbyterian church here. "I have received a letter," said he, "from a man representing 1000 Japa nese In 'various western states. He says that his people have raised $3000 for the evangelizing- of the Japanese, and he wants the assembly to give a like amout. They are scorned, but they are Christians, and I wonder If they are not better than the ones who scorn them." The report of the board Indicated that there are 500,000,000 heahens In the world who have never heard ot the Bible, and Dr. Howard' A. John ston of Colorado Springs smrgested that for eac h 1000 Christians in this country to send one missionary would mean n teacher for each 25,000 heathens, and this would' tie only equitable. Dr. Halsey grew critical toward the church In America as he contrasted It with the missionary work done by natives In Bltnost every foreign country. He did not speak of the missionaries, bvit said that great credit is due the unschooled na tives for their zeal for the church. Dr. George B. Stewart, president of Auburn Theological' seminary, pre sented the report of the educational' committee. He said there was not such a present need of money as of insisting on a better moral and n liglnus Influence In the home. Iff said if" the influence of the homo wpro properly directed there would b a better fitted ctass of men and women for the missionary fields. Dr. Sylvester W. Beach of Prince ton, who formerly was a worker In the Latin quarter of Paris, spoke of the work among the American stu dents there. He said there) were L'OOO American boys and girls there when the work was first taken up, and at that time there was no re ligious Influence of any sort.
