ESTHER MITCHELL
NOT A VAGRANT
Regarding the recent story circulat
ed concerning the discovery of Esther
.Mitchell In an opium den, the Even
ing Telegram of Aug. 26 makes this
correction.
Doubting the story of a woman In
the Victoria. B. C. Jail, who repre
sented herself as Esther Mitchell,
sister of George Mitchell, and who
was arrested In an opium den nea
Nanalmo, B. C, The Telegram wrote
O. V. Hurt, of Waldport, asking him
if the real Esther Mitchell had not
been at his home since her release
from the' Stellacoom asylum. Mr.
Hurt replies
"Waldport, Ore., Aug. 23. (To the
Editor of the Telegram.) The report
that has been circulated that Esther
Mitchell of Corvai:is, was In trouble
In Victoria is absolutely false, as she
is at my home, and has been since
last April, and is living a quiet life.
She has won the confidence and re
spect of this community. She ex
pects to make her home with us, and
can be found here any time, and any
one representing herself as Miss
.Mitchell is an Impostor.
"O. V. HURT."
The Telephone Girl.
The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to voices from every
where, she hears all the gossip, she
hears all the news, she knows who is
I 1. n , , .1 ...V. V, V. W1..n
uayy CL1IU VVUU UttB IUQ U1U13B, BUtl
knows all our sorrows, she knows all
our joys, she knows every girl w
is chasing the boys, she knows of
our troubles, she knows of our strlce,
-he knows every man that talks mean
to his wife, she knows every time
we are with the boys, she knows the
excuses each fellow employs, she
knows every woman who has a dark
past, she knows every man who
inclined to be fast, in fact, there's
a secret 'neath each saucy curl of
that quiet, demure looking telephone
girl. If the telephone girl told all
that she knows it would turn our
friends into bitterest foes, she could
iow a small wind that would Boon be
a gale, engulf us in trouble and land
us in jail, she coald let go a story
which, gaining in force, would cause
half our wlve3 to sue . for divorce,
he could get all our churches mixed
up in a fight and turn all our days
into sorrowing nights; in fact she
could keep the whole town in a stew
if she'll tell a tenth part of the thing
that she knew. Ohi brother, .now
doesn't It make your head whirl when
you think what you owe to the tele
pho ie girl? Vernon (Tex.) Call.
It Is reported that the heat and
rattlesnakes in the Deschutes canyon
give the workmen all kinds of grie'.
In one camp a den of 38 rattlesnakes
were encountered and the canyon U
reported to be alive with them. A
rattler is not a very agreeable bed
fellow, and It is known that they
have a penchant for a comfortable
berth if It happens to be a cool night.
But snakes and hot weather will not
stop the railroad. Moro Observer.

it was a case of graft.
A prominent citizen of Leaver, -ai
In the city today and stated that the
identical letter was received at Den

The United Statas government ha3
.ecognized the means of this graft
and has repeatelly eomimiuicj.ieu

them In sioppipg it, but have never
received ; any reply. It 13 thought

and coughed all the time and if I did
not have consumption, it was near to
it. I commenced using Foley's Honey

and I am now entirely well, and have
gained twenty-eight pounds, all due
