SUCCESSFUL farmers are no longer
asking, "Shall I buy an engine?"
They have passed that point and now in
quire, "Which enRine shall I buy?"
A litilo careful observation will show that Inter
national Harvester engines aro tho most satisfactory.
No doubt io leftwlien features like tho following aro
studied: Detachable valvo guides, offset cylinder
head, fuel pump, split-hub fly-wheels, extra largo
intake and exhaust valves, etc.
Ask tho men who have used I H C engines. That
is tho best test. They will explain tho excellence of
lHCconstruction.simplicity.Btrengthanddurability.
Study tho engines yourself at the nearest dealer's
where International Harvester engines aro sold.
They aro made in all styles, and range in size from
1 to 50-H. 1'. Thoy operate on low and high grado
fuels.

law, train robber and convict, Al Jen

that Is another story. This Is how ho
was made to lift Ills bead and see
something bright In the future.
A girl of sixteen was traveling across
tho state with her grandparents. She
was a high school student of Edwards
vllle. Intl.. and carried about a pretty
safe map of human nature In her own
little head. Her grandfather met Al
Jennings In the smoking car. Alice
Warder, the high school girl, thought
that. Jennings looked really nice In
spite of the fact that his face was
seamed and marred with a thousand
wrinkles. His smile, however, was
Uko tho smile of all humanity. And
thero was Ineradicable dignity In his
live feet live Inches, lie saUPlds name
was Mr. Jennings .and he had been
talking to Alice's grandfather of train
robbers.
Mr. Jennings knew everything in
tho world there was to know about
train robbers. He described them In
glnrlng detail In tho light of his Inti
mate knowledge. Alice Warder had
never In her life spent n more thrilling
two hours.
It was dark and Mr. Jennings was
still talking. Alice's grandfather drew

to drink In more adventures.
"Miss Warder, I have deceived you n
little bit. I guess. I talked as If I had
only heard of those holdups from other
people or maybe read about them. The
fact Is I planned every one. 1 nin a
train robber myself. Oot sent up for
It. I am Just out of the Leavenworth
prison.
"I thought I'd tell you about It so
you wouldn't think I had Imposed on
you. I'm through lying. Never did lie
except when 1 had to. There Is mighty
little difference between nctlng n Ho to
a girl like you and telling one. I am
going to tell your grandfather about It
In a minute."
Suddenly Alice, with her knowledge
of human nature this girl believer In
the Innate goodness of bad men had
an impulse that the man who wit
nessed It has never forgotten, no
says now It had n great deal to do
with changing the drift of his life, then
black with defeat Alice Warder, her
eyes shining, stretched out her hands
and cried:
"I don't care about your past I don't
care n bit so long ns your future's all
right"
Five minutes more and the two part

AN OPEN LETTER
Roscburg, Ore., March 10, 1014
To the Voters of the First Congres
sional District:
Hundreds of people living in ev
ery county in the First Congression
al District have never written, tele
graphed or nsked me to become n can
didate for Congress. However be
lieving in tho principle that if a man
wants anything the best way to get
it is to go after it, and not wait for
it to come to him, nnd holding to the
doctrine that under our form of gov
ernment it is no disgrace to seek an
ollice at the hands of the people, I
therefore desire to say that after duo
consideration and without any men
tal reservation or undue influence,
have decided to become a candidate
for Congress on the Republican tic
ket at tho coining primary election.
Doing a stranger to many of you
it the risk of being called nn egotist
I am going to tell you something
about myself in order that you may
be able to form an opinion us to
whether I am as well qualified for
the position as other candidates who
are seeking tho office.
First , in order not to try to de
ceive you, -njst say that I have as
many faults as the average man, and
when the campaign begins to warm
up the other fellows will tell you all
about them. From first evidence 1
have learned that I first opened my
eyes in a modest dwelling on a farm
near Lawrence, Douglas County,
Kansas, more than half a century
tgo., My father died when I was
eight years old, and I came to Oregon
with my mother in 1870, and set
tled upon a homestead in the Yi.quina
Day country. Two years later my
mother died, and I worked for ranch
ers and farmers until I was eighteen,
going to the public schools during
the winter months.
From 1370 to 1803, I worked in'
the logging camps, on the stock
range and at steam-boating. From
1803 to 1898, was county clerk of
Lincoln county, during' which time
I studied law and was iidmMcd to
practice in 1807, since which time I
have been in active practice.
Represented Polk and Lincoln
counties in the legislature three
terms. Appointed Register of the
United States Land Ollice at Rose-
burg by President Taft Dccamher
18, 1009, serving four years.
While a member of the lcginlature
in 1003, I introduced what, was
known as the car shortage or demur
rage bill. It was defeated, and in
1007 I again introduced it, ni d be
ing a member of the committee on
railroads, got it incorporated in
the Railroad Commission Dill, which
became a law. At this same r.ession
1 introduced and secured the passage
of a law providing for tho Director's
Parents-Teachers' meetings. I also
at the same session introduced the
Joues Free Locks Dill, which became
a law, appropriating $300,000, con
tingent upon tho government appro
priating a like sum, for the purpose
of building new, or purchasing the
old locks at Oregon City, and tho op-,
crating of the same free to the people
by the Government. Tho Govern
ment having failed to appropriate
any monoy for that purpose, at the
1000 session I again introduced a bill
continuing tho said appropriation of
$300,000 for ahother two yearn, con
tingent upon the Government making
a like appropriation to purchnso tho
locks. Since that time the Govern
ment has appropriated tho sum and
has taken the locks over, and navi
gation on the Willamette river is now
free to all.
At tho 1907 session I introduced a
resolution to provide for tho umend-
ng of the Constitution to allow wo
men tho right of suffrage. It passed
tho House, but received only seven
votes in tho senate. However, since
that time the progressive voters of
Oregon have voted to allow our moth
ers, wives, tlaughters and sisters tho
iirht of equal suffrage, and another
sUike has been set along the lino of
good government.
During the 1909 session 1 iniro
duced a hill which became a law,
repealing a former act of the Legis
lature, granting to tho Willamette
Valley nnd Const Railroad Company
all the tide and overflowed lauds on
the Alscn, Silctz and Yaquina Days.
At the same session I introduced a
bill appropriating $100,000 to pay
the Indian War veterans claims, due
for use and loss of horses in the
Indian wars of Oregon, a debt con
tracted by the Oregon Territory and
standing unpaid for over fifty years.
This bill passed the House but was
killed in tho Senate, but a similar
bill became a law in the session of
1913.
In 1908, upon my own motion
and at my own cost, I com
menced suits ugainst the Wells
Fargo and Pacific Express Compan
ies of Oregon for a reduction
of express rates. Doth these suits
were decided in favor of the shippers,
and a reduction of twenty per cent
was made in Oregon rates.
During my term as Register of the
Land Ollice I worked for tho revi
sion of the public land laws in tho
interests of the bona fide home
steaders who were seeking to settle
tho wild lands of Oregon. I pre
pared and introduced in the Senate
and Houso of tho United States a
bill providing for an annual six
months leave of absence, for the
purpose of giving the homesteader
an opportunity to earn money with
which to live on while improving his
homestead, and, to allow those who
had children of school age an oppor
tunity to sent the mto school. This
resulted in tho five months leave of
absence law.
If elected I shall stnnd squarely
and fearlessly for legislation in tho
interests of all the people, for the
improvement of our rivers and har
bors, for the deepening of- tho Wil
lamette River that it may be navi
gable from Portland to Kugcne at
all seasons of tho year, for more and
better roads, for the amending of
and enacting of our public land laws
to conform to present conditions,
and for tho surveying and classify
ing of the lands in our forests re
serves that the vast areas of grazing
and agricultural lands may bo opened
to settlement.
If the Government shall finally
win tho suit now pending agiust tho
Oregon and California Railroad Com
pany I shall do all in my power to
keep these lands from being placed
in the forest reserves, and work to
the end that the grazing and. agri
cultural lands may be open to settle
ment under the homestead laws.
Having lived forty-three years in
Oregon, being acquainted with the
conditions in every county of the dis
trict and with many of the people,
lmving worked as lumberjack, farmed
the rich valley lands, run an "arm
strong" mowing machine on tho fer
tile bottoms where the timothy, red
top clover and tide grass grow six
feet high; having walked nearly
every mile of the west line of seven
of our counties that border and
stretch along the Pacific ocean for
three hundcrd miles, from Clatsop
to Curry, pulled stroke oar in a fish
ing boat on the moonlit waters of
the mighty Columbia when the splash
of the Silverside and Chinook was
music to the cars qf three thousand
fishermen; double reefed and scudd
ed before a booming sotithwester
when the storm king was on and the
white caps lit the way from Sand Is
lahtl to Astoria, worked as deck
hand and captain on steam and sail
ing vessels on our rivers nnd bays,
With this personal knowledge of Ore
gon I believe that I can be of some
service to tho state and the people
whom I seek to represent.
If I am elected, come and see me.
Doing of modest means, I will not bo
able to entertain you in the latest
style, but you will be as welcomo ns
the flowers in springtime, and if I
only hnve a tent on tho capital
grounds, the latch string will be on
tho outside, and there will be no
sign, "keep off tho grass."
Sincerely yours,
D. F. JONKS.
