William j Bollons, superintendent of the road, i got on the train at Pilot Rock June- j tion and we happened to occupy the Mast seat. Bollons had evidently had some recent trouble arising from a I confusion of the names Pilot Rockj and Pilot Kock Junction. He said to me. "1 wish you would select some ! short name, we are having trouble by ' the names of Pilot nock and Pilot i Kock Junction becoming confused. We want nome short name for the Junc tion, a name that will be easy to han- die over the wires." I explained to him something of the history of tho pioneer family of Rieth who former- I ly lived there, and suggested the name j Rieth, and also the name Rodeo. Mr ' Bollons subsequently submitted bofh names to the proper authorities, and they wisely selected the name Rieth. I trust this will settle all controver sy as to how the name originated.

If it acquits it self of a deliberate and calcu lated falsehood, it must convict the submarine commander of deliberate and calculated false hood. In either case it proves, as the president said, that "the imperial government has been unable to put any limits or re straints upon its warfare against either freight or pas senger ships."

Olcott Mr. Olcott has been a republican all his life and he has made a record as secretary that justifies a reelection if ef ficiency is an asset in politics. Yet because he is not of the i old guard type the claim is made that he is not a republi- j can and he should be massa- j cred, slain and slaughtered.

Miller was at once discharged from custody. The young man on the stand de clared he had worked for H. M. Han son and still had $130 coming for his services. He declared the check in question was given him by Hanson last December and that he at once sent it to the t American National Bank. He denied having written any thing on It except his endorsement.
