Chehalis. the Pacer. . Speaking of Chehalis, Frank Frazier'a wonderful pacing stallion, the Oregonian says: , Chehalis did not surprise local horsemen when he went a mile in 2:091 He won a big five heat race by taking the last three. Pathmont took ' the first two. The Woodland track, according to good authority, never saw a prettier contest. There were numerous starters, but the race was between the Oregon entries from start to finish. Both Pathmot and Chehalis distinguished themselves in a marked degree. Chehalis, it is said took the last three heats with the greatest ease. Horsemen who saw the race say that he can go several seconds faster. He is not entered in any more races for the preseat season, but it is very probable that his owner and driver, Frank Frazier, of Pendleton, will start him in the great free-for-all race at Sacramento next week. Veterans of the turf in this city predict that Chehalis will get a very low mark if he starts in that race, and believe that he can beat any pacer on the coast. CAPTURED A COUNTERFEITER. Clever Piece of Detective Work by Deputy Marshal Bentley. , By a piece of clever detective work, Deputy United States Mar shal John M. Bentley yesterday captured W. H. Lane, who, the ev idence at hand shows, has been en gaged in the manufacture of coun terfeit coins, and has been very diligent in giving the same the largest posisble circulation. Lane, it is charge, has been doing a flour ishing business, and, in his section, has almost driven Uncle Sam's coins out of the market. Several months ago Mr. Bentley learned that counterfeiters were at work in this county, and upon in vestigation he concluded that Lane was the criminal. He proem ed a warrant for the arrest of that gen tleman, but did not obtain suffic ient evidence against him until Wednesday, when he set out for Pilot Rock with William McBride, expecting to find Lane at CottreH's ranch, where some races were being given. But Lane did not matera lize, and the officer had to drive to his home in the mountains, 6even miles from lba. : At 4 o'slock yes terday morning, Mr. Bentley arose and at 8 o'clock he had his prisoner and was on his way back to Pend leton. Lane was arranged before Unit ed States Commissioner Bean yes terday afternoon, and entered a plea of not guilty. His bail was hxed at $500. He will have an examin ation in a day or two. Mr. Bentley gays that many spurious coins of Lane s manufac ture have. been circulated in Pend leton. . The prisoner has apparent lv been in the business for some time, and seems to have worked alone. He is a married man and has one child. Tribune. The Post's View. In a long editorial the Salem Post supported the secretary of state in his position of opposition to the regents' demand for" the ap propriated money, and says that "Mr. Kincaid takes the sensible ground that he is bound by law to issue warrents to the persons who have performed service or furnish ed supplies, on properly verified vouchers, after and not before the amount have been due. And here the attorney general is in accord with the secretary of state. Al ready $1,600 of the $16,000 has been paid out, and. the whole amount can thus be drawn as fast as it is needed. And this should satisfy any reasonable person, or any body of reasonable persons. But the fact is, the money is not wanted to run the school, but rath er to put in a bank for the benefit and conveyance of private partios. But this was not the purpose of the appropriation. Neither was it the intention, of the legislature.'? Oregon's Fruit Interests. It is the intention of the state horticultural board, says the Port land Telegram, to compile and pub lish in the near future a sort of history or record of the fruit in dustry of Oregon. Thfs will be a verv interesting and valuable work, and one in which every prominent fruitgrower will have a place. I he Durtxrae is to give a description oi v . . 1 VI' - the fruit farms in every part of the state, when the trees were set out the number and variety, by whom owned, etc. The record will be as complete as possible, and the data obtained from the most authentic sources. Secretary George I. Sar gent will have charge of the gener al compilation of this history. It will involve a great amount of hard and careful labor. , Rejectecfthe Proposal.

He Also Thinks the Single Tax Would Help Us I note in a recent issue that you welcome Chicago people who are looking up the idea of establish-. ing a beet-root factory in Eastern Oregon, and suggest that some of your townsmen ought to make them advantageous offers to establish their industry in 'your neighbor hood. I know enough about the climate and soil of your section to be sure that U advantages are great, but thero are other ways by which you can make it advantage ous to ousinesa men to locate with , you. For instance, thereis the present unjust and foolish way as sessors have of taxing industry; just as soon as a factory or indust ry, is erected they tax it, and prac-. ticallv place a fine on industry, while the law speculator ana tneir names is legion) gets off without any more tax at all, and furthermore he gets the benefit of the general advantage of the'eommunity with- -out paying his share, reaping where he has not Bovvn. Profit can not be earned by him without taking away from some one else. If you were to adopt the single tax on land values you would at tract industries to your state by that, more than any other way, and I urge the idea upon the con sideration of vour many readers.
