But how much Breen, who la at pree-

While investigating the record o

upon his likeness In the rogues' gal
lery at the police station. Breen did
not deny being the original of the
picture. In connection with the pic
ture it was learned tnai Breen waa
convicted of cattle stealing m the su
perior court of Spokane in 1S93 and
served three years in the penuen
Mary Since doing time in the peni
tentiary Breen has lived In different
parts of the country, and asserts mat
he lived in the Blue mountain section
of Oregon at the time the Brittain
boy was spirited away from home.
When upbraided for demanding
money from Ur. Brittain before he
would tell the latter what he knew
regarding the disappearance of the
youngster Breen aaid he was merely
thinking of the future of his wile
that if he got this money It would be
used to care for her. From this It
was not clear whether Breen intended
to implicate himself or that he waa
merely demanding the money In or-
1 ' der to express thoughtfulness of his
wife.
Chief of Police Rice la Inclined to
take Breen's pretense or knowledge
regarding the kidnapping case with a
' srrsat deal of salt. Unable to get any
thing that he regarded as of much
Importance from Breen, Chief Rice
gave his consent early In the day for
Breen to be taken to the office of At
torney Smith In the Zelgler building.
where he was questioned at length. In
giving his consent, the chief said he
bad been in hope that Breen might
give up Information that would aid
In solving the problem and console the
distracted father of the missing boy.
Detective Macdonald bad custody ot
Breen on the visit to the office of the
attorney.
Attorney Smith refused to discuss
the outcome of the conference In any
way. It was learned, however, that
as stated above, Breen said enough to
arouse hope that he knew who had
kidnapped the boy and what had been
the fate of the youngster, his bad rec
ord discrediting him somewhat, how
Encouraged and . hoping against
hope that some clue will yet be found
In Spokane leading to definite Infor
mation as to the fate of her missing
son,' word came from Walla Walla
last night that Mrs. Brittain left that
city for Spokane yesterday afternoon.
It is said she still has some hope hat
the lad found near Marshall, Wash.,
and later claimed as the son of Mrs.
L. M. Hart, a variety actress, may be
her boy, and Is coming to Spokane to
see the child. Chief ot Police Rice
aid yesterday that there was no
longer doubt in his mind that the lad
found at Marshall Is the son of Mrs.
Hart
In furtherance of the hope that
James Breen may know as to the fate

and the officials probably will be held

Merchants at Seattle are of the

' With the advance of spring and the
nearer approach of the time when

In the first place, potatoes are very

There has been a recent sharp ad

that present prospects are that the

greatly Increased this year and the
onion output will be much larger than

GROWTH OF RAWHIDE; NEVADA
Phenomenal City of the Nevada Mln
lng District.
A correspondent writing to the Ore'
gon Dally Journal of Rawhide, Ne
vada, says of that place:
Rawhide, Nevada, Is the latest
town to show a most phenomenal
growth. Five months ago It was a
place of 25 men. Today It la a city
of 9000 population, which Is some
percentage In gain. Every day there
Is an Increase in population of from
100 to 200, all seeking the fortune
that the gold minea offer.
All of the Inhabitants will not get
rich, only a tew will secure the wealth
but the people will suffer all kind of
trials and privations to get a chance
to pick up the golden nuggets. Meal
are not so expensive, 75 cents, but
for a place to sleep $1.75 is asked.
The new town has grown more
rapidly than even the wonderful
Qoldfleld or Tonopab, which are
gradually becoming depopulated, the
people going to Rawhide, where the
rainbow shines more brightly.
Every day long caravans of wagons
in train ot three, one wagon hitched
back of another, and drawn by 18
horses, wind their way across the
alkaline waste into the one long tent
lined street of the mining camp. The
drivers of these trains sit on the nigh
horse of the team next to the first
wagon and guide the whole 18 horses
with a single long rein.
On of the many striking features
of the gold camp, that shows the ag
gressiveness and quickness of the Am'
erlcan Is the automobile stage lines
that are run from Reno, Fallon and
Schurx to Rawhide. From Reno the
distance Is something over 100 mile

Boy Killed by Horse. -
News reached the city today that
the 13-year-old son of Wall Miller, a
well known resident 'of the Grande

Wednesday as the result ot being
dragged "by a horse, say the Lewis

' The boy with hi father had been
working In a field in the afternoon
and mounted one of the work horses'

the La Follette camp.
Thoughtful people have grouped the
Roosevelt strength under three candi
dates first, those who follow La Fol
lette, and believe hlra to be the only
logical successor to Roosevelt, and the
only man. aside from Roosevelt that
can bring victory to the republican
party; second, the followers o( Taft,
who look to a Judicial Roosevelt, and
finally the admirers of Hughes.
gome people are of the belief that
La Follette is radical. It is true, he
was denounced a few year ago for
advocating the things which today
are accepted as Roosevelt policies.
It Is a matter of record that La Fol
lette In Wisconsin had made several
campaigns on railroad rate legislation
before President Roosevelt undertook
to pass his rate bill. Not only Is La
Follette committed to these reforms,
but he showed his knowledge on cur
rency legislation when In his Bpeech
before the senate on March 17 and
18 he denounced the Aldrlch currency
bill as being framed In the Interests
of the ' large corporations notwith
standing the fact that President Roos
evelt favored Its passage as originally
framed.
On March 17. while Taft and Mr.
Hughes were out on the stump telling
the people why they should be elected
president, Bob La Follete waa at his
post of duty In the United States sen
ate guarding the people's Interests
against corrupt legislation. If the re
publican party wants a leader to carry
out the Roosevelt principles why not
be consistent and select a man they
know beyond all doubt will fight for
every reform pledge put In the party
platform. They want no figurehead
of candidate bolstered up by the en
dorsement of a few party leaders.
What the people want and demand 1
a man whose only endorsement Is his
past record of achievements.
PUMMELED RADICAL DIVINE.
KvanscllHt Miller Taken to Task for
Criticising Women of .Utlca, Neb.
Rev. Frank A. Miller, 'a well known
evangelist, who spent a part ot 1905
In Walla Walla, wa assaulted By a
tnob of men in Utica, Neb., Monday,
for criticising the women of a church
society. Reporfs state' that his con
dition Is serious, The assault occur
red while Mr. Miller was on his way
to a railway station. The women who
Jvere criticised by the evangelist In
cited the men to attack and cheered
them as they assaulted the preacher.
The minister assaulted is well
known In Washington and Oregon,
having spent the year 1908 In these
states. He spent a month In Walla
Walla at tho First Congregational
nhurch,- says the Statesman.
During his sojourn in Walla Walla
Mr. Miller expressed strong views .on
several questions and was particular
ly "hitter in denunciation of amuse
merits and card playing and dancing.
It Is supposed by local friends that hi
denunciation of some form of enter
tainment' In a sermon was taken by
the women of Utlca as a criticism of
their actions. , . ;

A Washington letter say ot th
new pontoffioe ruling which require
newspaper to carry a bona tide, paid-
up list ot subscribers, th ruling tak
ing effect on April 1:
The order of the postofflee depart
ment. Issued December 4, 1907, r
quiring the publisher ot newspaper.
magnalnei and other periodical to
maintain a practically paid-up sub
orlptlon Hat In order to entitle their
publication tu th privilege of eo
olid-clans matter, has stlrrnd up quite
sjii.I dent of apprehension on the
part of publisher ot country nwapa
per, whoa custom It la to extend un
limited credit to many ot their ub
tcrlber.
These apprehensions have been call
ed to tho attention of th third assis
tant postmaster general, A. I lAwshe,
who disclaims any Intention on the
part ofha department to embarrass
the jtlihllahers of legitimate newspa
pers or magatlne or of placing any
obstacles In the way ot conducting
their business or Interfering with It,
but say that the primary object of
the order In question Is to correct two
great abuses of tha second-class mail
ing privileges which have resulted
from the carrying of expired sub
scription for Indefinite periods and
from the old 100 per cent sample copy
privilege that Is for every copy ot
the paper sent to a subscriber, the
rubllxher under the old regulation,
wa allowed to mat) a sample copy
at the sernnd-clara postal rate of one
cent per pound.
The essential feature of the new
regulations, Mr. Lawshe state, fix
reasonable limit for the carrying of
expired subscription and reduce the
sample copy privilege to 10 per cent
of tho mailing of publication. In hi
opinion, will not work any real hard
ships upon legitimate publisher, but.
on the contrary, will bring many ben
eflclal result.
The postofflce department has re
cently completed a thorough weighing
of nil classes of mall matter transmit
ted by It, nnd from those welghlngJ
hns been abln to arrive at a correct
estimate of the coat and revenue o
each classification of mall.
The estimate show that 67 per cent
of all mall carried I second-class mat
tcr. and from this 67 per cent only
per cent of the revenues of the entlr
postofflre department I obtained. The
estimate shows that for transmitting
first-class mall matter letter an
senled articles the department re
celves 84 cents per pound.
.For merchandise It receive 18 cents
por pound. For publication not en
titled to second-class mall privileges,
It receive 9 cents per pound, and for
second-cluxs matter, I. e., newspnpere
and other periodical publications, It
receives 1 cent per pound.
Py correcting tho abuse which have
been growing up under the second
class matter privileges. It Is expected
by the postofflco depnrtment that the
enormous loss to the government,
brought about by these abuses, will
bo In a large degree lessened, and the
postal service, If not placed on a self
supporting or paying basis, will bo
brought near enough to that condition
to Justify a decrease In the rate of
first-class postage, thus bringing great
benefits to the entire country.
Tho new regulations, when Issued,
provided that they should go Into ef
fect on January 1, 1908; later It was
decided to postpone the date until
April 1, 1908, and on this date the
department will put the regulations
Into force.
Rules Are Reasonable,
The rule In reference to the renew
al of subscriptions Is as follow:
"A reasonable time will be allow
ed publisher to secure renewals ot
subscriptions, but unlesa subscription
jare expressly renewed after the, torm
for which they are paid, within the
following period:'
Dallies, within three month.
Trl-weeklles, within six months.
Weeklies, within one year.
Semi-monthlies, within four month.
Monthlies, within six month.
Bl-monthlles, within six month.
Quarterlies, within six months.
They shall not be counted In the
legitimate list of subscribers, and
copies mailed on account thereof shall
not be accepted for mailing at the
second-class postage rate of one cent
a pound, but may be mailed at the
transient second-class postage rate of
one cent for each four ounces or frac
tion thereof, prepaid by stamp affix
ed. The right of a publisher to extend
credit for subscriptions to hi publi
cation Is not denied or questioned, but
his compliance or non-compliance wtth
the regulation will be taken Into con
sideration In determining whether the
publication Is entitled to transmission
at the second-class postage rates."
