SCHOOLCHILDREN PLEASED
Auk to Have Lecture on Oregon
Repealled.
Ono of the most extraordinary calls
for information on Oregon come from
the public schools of Chicago. For
several wiutcrs the Chicago Daily
Nows has boen giving a series of free
lectures to the public schools, accom
pan 1 en Dy moving pictures, on
different historical places and sub
jeets.. Last winter a series of
pictures taken along the O. R. & N
railway rn tho Columbia river accom
panied by a lecture, "Whore Rolls
the Oregon," was included in these
free entertainments,- and from almost
every school in that groat city comes
the call fir a repetition pf that in
teresting story and the pictures of
Oregon. It is the only instance on
record since this public spirted plan
was begun, in which the pupils have
publicly requeued tho rendition of
any of tho lectures for the aecoud
time, and shows the deep interest they
are taking In Ongcax
Saved From Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt
of Bargertoo, Teun., saw her dying
and. were powerless to save bor. The
most skillful physicians uiid every
romedy nsed failed, whilo consump
tion was slowly but surely taking her
life. In this terrible hour Di. King's
New Discovery for Consumption turn
ed despair into joy. The first bottle
brought Immediate relief and its con
tinued use completely cured her.

A DASHING COLLECTOR
Collect Bcvd Debt on 10 per
Cant Commisilon,
The Friday' Oregon iau contains
au account of the doing of a young
collector who hat been . operating in
the west He itopprd at Grant Pas
last week, operating nnder a different
name, however, but did no business
0 far a we can learn. The Oregon
Ian say :
A dashing yonng man possessed of
many suits ot tailored clothing, a
shock of yellow hair, a striking per
sonality and answering to the name
of "Eugene Cameron, of New York,"
would be a welcome visitor at the
offices of several physicians of the
city at a leading hotel, and incidental
ly at the Police Station.
While Canioron posed as an attorney
ana expert collector of bad bills,
the police aud others who had dealing
with him declare that to have avoided
sailing under false color it would
have been necessary for him to hare
proclaimed himeslf an unmitigated
swindler. The police were only pre.
vented from suggesting as much to
him, through their failure to locate
the fellow.
His method of swiudling is original
and one that appeals to all persons
having bad bill to collect, the police
say. While in Portland he confined
hi atteution to physicians. Just how
many doctors are loser I not known,
although it is thought the number is
not limited. Cameron In approaching
a prospective victim, would state
ho was in expert collector. Tho
harder the bill was to collect the
greater pleasure ho took in extracting
the coin from the unwilling debtor,
he would explain.
Dr. Buck gave the young man a
trial on a $135 doctor bill that had
been pigeonholed as hopeless. . It
developed later that Camoron pre
sented himself to the lady owing
the araonut aud offered to take 115 in
full settlement. Being refused this
amount ho reduced it to 10, then
to 5 aud finally to 12.50, which
amount he received, issuing a receipt
for the satuo as a settlement In full
for the amouut due the doctor.
The police were notified and Detec
tive Joe Day was detailed on the case.
He found Camerou had anticipated
police interference by sUaapnenring
without even pausing to pay his fiotel
bill.
Descriptions of the yonng man will
bo sent to the police departments of
other cities where it is thought Ca.ni
eron may head for.
MACHINE TO SAVE GOLD
Colorado Mevn Clslm to Have
Solved th Problem.
H. L. Orr
has iuvouted
of Oreeley, Colorado,
a new process for ex-
trading gold dust from tailings after
all values havo apparently been re
moved. The process Is said to lie a
compluto success. The machine or ap
paratus has attracted considerable at
tention. In looks liko it might bo a carpet
cleaner, threshing machiue or a play
thing, but Mr. Orr has confidence
that it will make money for him and
his associates. The process i called
the Orr & Finley oil process, and
thoroughly covered by tuuts,the lust
one having been granted about ton
days ago.
The machino is not easily described :
From the sluice box, raised about
fourteen feet above the ground, the
tailings are run onto a sloping piano
of canvas. The plane is about four
teen feet long by six feet wide. At
the npicr cud of tho plane where the
tailings run onto tho canvas, oil is
also pumped onto the plane. The
canvas is in the shajio of an endless
belt and moves upward toward the
sluice box, hut slow enough so that
the oil, silica, water and gold dust
will run down the canvas against the
motion. The mess is thoroughly
mixed In the process. As is well
known, oil and water w ill not mil,
but sand and water will. Gold dost
and water will not mix, but gold dost
and oil will, so that when the mix
ture, which seemed a homogeneous
mass at the beginning reaches the
lower end of the plane, the sand and
water is gathered in the lower strata
and 00 top of this with what gold
dust thero might have been left in
the tailings when they cam from the
stamp mill, float the oiL
The entire mas runs into a tank
from the canvas. An automatio valve
keep the water at a certain height in
this tank just high enough so that
the oil aud gold dust will run over a
sharp rim iuto a smaller tank. From
there it runs automatically into
another metal box flll'd with char
coal This leaves the gold dust ou
the grains of chracoal, and in due
time this is burned up, leaving the
dust.
There is also an attachment for
saving iron aud other minerals that
may be found In the tailings.

Tho regular meeting of the W. O.
T. U. will bo held at the homo of
Mrs. Loo Calvert, Friday, Jan. 29,
t 3 :3() p. m.
At tho suffrage meetings held dur
ing tho past two weeks, there has
been a noticeable Inck of club
women. Inquiry among some of our
prominent club leaders develops
tho startling assertion," We do not nil
believe 111 woman sutTrngol" Think
of it. A woman with intelligence
enough to administer property, some
of which she may havo' acquired
through her own economies, perfect
ly willing to subscribe, to "taxation
without representation." I almost
said that her properly might havo
been acquired through her own
efforts, but, on reflection, I came
to the conclusion that wo find no
autl-suffrugists among our workers.
It is tho drone in our beehive who
cares for no voico iu the conduct of
affairs, the lily of the Mold "who
toils not, neither does sho spin, "who
allies herself to thoso who say : "We
will not vote, therefore you shall
not." Our anti-sufTiaglst can afford
to rido in her carriage to cultivate
her talents to send her children to
private schools, to draw around her
self aud her particular set, the lines
of exclnsivencss. She labors under
the impression that to bo exclusive
is to roflne tho clay; that to reform,
to mix with the workers, sho Is
creating for herself and her kind, a
sort of purified atmosphere iu which
only tho initiated can livo. Kxelu
siveness iu these days bus couio to
take on a new meaning. It has nar
rowed and squeezed, nud shut itself
up until It has finally crowded Itself
Into that most detestable of words
selfishness. And it is down to this
plane that our anti-suffnigist have
lowered themselves. If they do not
wish to exercise themselves their
privilege of citizenship, If they are
10 well taken euro of, so tenderly
guarded, that they do not feel the
pressure of economic conditions that
press so cruelly ou so ninny of their
less fortunute sisters, would not the
womanly course of action he to re
tire?
There is il) tho proposed iiiiicnil-
inent nothing which is Imperative ns
to voting. It docs not say all womeu
shall vote, it merely states that we
shall not lo deprived of all the rights
to exercise this privilege on account
of sex. Ask the woman who earns
her own living what she thinks of
suffrage. Ask our ti achers who work
side by side with the voter and who
is aid from $10 to $-'7 less for lining
the same kind of work, usk tin 111
what they think of suffrage! Ask
our college graduates, who can give
uot only the religious history of our
race, but know also the policy of our
national and stale administration,
what they think of not being al
lowed to Vote, while the man ill the
north cud who makes his Hiving off
tho shame of our sislers is allowed to
exercise the right of suffrage!
They the anti-suffragists tell us
that they fear for the destruction of
the hearthstone that the sanctity of
the homo will be threatened if we
women take a pai t in the affairs of
the government. To that charge 1
answer that it is because we recog
nize more clearly than they tho dan
gers that threaten the heme, that we
are willing to share iu the battle for
its defense. We are not willing to
throw thu entire burden of its protec
tion onto the shoulders of our hus
bands and fathers, already overbur
dened. The true wife is the nuo who
shares not only tho Joys but a lno the
res)sinsibililies, of thu husbands.
The true mother is the one who does
not shut out from her own knowledge,
the dangers and pitfalls that lie In
wait for her boy. She finds out vvl, .1
they aro. She hams that tho 111r.it
dreadful of all is fostered by the
Imtrniiage of the xlitician, aud she
learn that to successfully ott.e-k the
evil sho must meet it with its own
weapon. Because thu love her
homo and her children, shu delegates
the task to 110 01111 else, she does the
work herself.
The anti-suffragist has the supxrt
of the liquor men iu her rampuigii.
TI1U 'HOUSE. UKNISHER
GRANTS PASS, OREGON
Wherever thoro has been any agitation
of tho equal suffrage movemont, we
find tho agent of tho liquor trust.
So, my ant I-suffrage friend, Just stop
and think before you entor on an
active campaign of opposition. You
uro entering into a partnership wtth
satau himself, with the most dreaded
of all home destroyers I I rocall an
experience during a visit to a Wy
oming ranch some years before I
camo to this beautiful Oregon to re
side. It was daring the time for
holding the primaries, and everyone
on tho ranch, from owner down to
stublo boy, Joined the prooossion to
tho sehoolhouso. Thero was no ques
tion ns to the mistress of the ranch
nud her sistor's going. It was as
much their duty as that of tho men
of tho house. Thero was a good deal
of Qxcltement as to the candidates for
school diroctor, one of whom was
noted by tho men to bo a "good fel
low" a littlo wild, perhaps, but
still a good fellow. Tho otlior oandl
dnto was a sober, industrious oow
puncher. I noticed that the women
said very little, nnd I thought it was
luck of Interest. After a littlo
questioning I found that instead of
being la.k of interest, their quiet de
meanor was tho result of an organised
opjiosition to tiio candidacy of tho
"good fellow," and was really the
calmness of determination.
Time for the nominations arrived
and with it a qulot, modest-looking
littlo woman whoso speech in favor
of tho cow puuehor killed for all time
tho aspirations of the "good follow. "
"Do you think that wo will ever
consent to have that man as guardlau
of tho education of onr boys a man
who gets drunk?" That settled it.
Our anti-suffrage friends wore at
home, guarding tho family hearth
stone. But ri ally, there are so few argu
ments that can be brought forward
opposing tho principle 'that it hardly
seems wiso to use valuable space in
combatting them. Tho woman of to
day has awakened to the knowledge
that with new conditions come now
duties; that if it is right aud proper
(or us to think of education, of tak

t i j no also for us to think about those
things that inako the truant and the

tects thu rich, while it oppreises the
poor; of the tariff, of thu trust, of the
giiiun of politics that plunges our
country into wars and strugglus that
rob of us our loved ones aud makes no
reparation. Would thero be war,

How long would it bo before tho
