evidently a foreigner, had moved three
or four days before. He wus a man
of middle age. and there was an old
woman with him, probabl- to act as
housekeeper.
"And I'm nsklng you. sir." continued
the woman ns she raised her hand aud
waved It to anil fro. "If It's the law In
America that a foreigner and an old
womau and a rascally monkey can
move In next door to a resHH'tnlle

"It's an Italian, ma'am, who la your

man. "I wns jabbering with him the
day he reuted the house."
"Then he's In the band organ busi

his own sunny skies to save his life.
You ought to le proud that you have a

Three or four days later the police
heard at the Btnttou to which he was
attached of a bold burglary lu tho
neighborhood. A burglar had entered
by n second story window and made a
haul of money and Jewolry, nud no
clew bud leen left liehlud. This bur
glary was followed by another within
twenty-four bom, and then cuino
what the police and press called a
"wnvo" of crime, though It was strict
ly confined to despoiling prlvato resi
dences, lu some cases It was Impossi
ble to tell how entrance had been ef
fected. In others It was plain that an
open window wns tho route.
Of course tho detectives Investigated,
and of course when no nrresta follow
ed they got a roasting In the newspa
pers. It reached tho point where tho
chief of police was asked to resign as
a man utterly unfitted for the place.
In return he bounced two of bis de
tectives because they could not pick
up clews where uo clews had been
left Then the rod headed pollcemun
sat down to do sumo thinking. Ho
thought of many a thing before he fol
lowed the Hue down to tho widow who
had told him nbout tho monkey.
Then ho began to scratch that red
balr and think the harder and finally
decided to tako a walk around nn
Sands street nud see If the count still
occupied tho house. Ho renched tho
houso of tho widow first. Again sho
was standing ou tho steps. At sight of
bin) she descended to tho walk and
said:
"Ho It's you. Is It? I've been wait
ing a wholo week to ask you if It's tho
habits of monkeys to go to bed like
honest folks at night and get up at
a reasonable hour lu tho morning or
whether Hiejr are philandering all over

"I can't say, sir, but It'a a matter

ment, and such aa is now submitted

Singlo Dbttrirt System
Whereas, The Oregon State Grange
together with other granges and
conventions has gone on record fa
voring the election of our state sen
ators and representatives by the sin
gle district system; and
Whereas. This system would di
vide the state Into GO representative
and 30 senatorial districts, and thus
by creating smaller districts would
bring the choice of a legislative mem
ber nearer home to the people and
place their actions under a more care
ful scrutiny; therefore be It
Heaolved, by the Oregon State
Grange In session assembled, that we
reaffirm our s'and for this system.
and that a committee of seven (7)
members be created by the state mas
ter to give the subject -a thorough
study and frame an amendment pro
viding for the same, to be Introduced
at the next session of the legiHluture,
such bill to contain in part the fol
lowing provisions:
1. Each district to contain only
one member.
2. Cities to be divided separately
from the balance of the county where
such cities contain a sufficient popu
lation for one or more members.
3. The distribution of tho mem
bers of both houses to be made ac
cording to counties approximately at
the same ratio as now.
