The plot of this romance hinges on fervid human emo
tions— love, jealousy, avarice, hatred. Every character Is
Intense and graphically delineated. There are two beautiful
women—Cerlsse and Narcisse—one like a pure, beautiful
lily, all gentleness and affection, the other a siren whose
restless spirit thrives, only in excitement and change. To
their lives are linked the welfare or wreck of others, and
where the story Is not absorbingly dramatic It becomes
startlingly tragic.

Taft and Carnegie Dedicate SI,OOO,-
OOO Bureau Home.
Washington, April 27.*—Theaaagnifi-
cent new marble buildinjf o f the Inter
national Bureau of American Republics
— within a stone’ s throw of the White
House— was dedicated in the name of
universal peace today.
President T a ft joined with Andrew
Carnegie, Secretary Knox, Senator
Root and Senor de la Bera, the Mexi
can ambassador, as representative of
the Latin-American republics, in pro
phecies of peace among the 21 Am eri
can republics, and pledged themselves
to strive for that happy state. Mr.
Carnegie went so far as to express the
hope that Canada, with the consent of
Great Britain, would some day join the
family o f peaceful American republics.
The president called out general
laughter by referring to the contro
versy between Theodore Roosevelt and
Mr. Carnegie two years ago at the lay
ing o f the cornerstone o f the building
dedicated today.
“ They differed as to the methods by
which peace should be obtained,” said
the president, “ but that both were
earnest and strenuous and determined
to have peace there was no doubt.”
“ Hear, hear,” shouted Mr. Carnegie
as the laughter died away.
The new buildng, a g i f t o f Mr. Car
negie, won the admiration of all who
passed within the bronze portals this
afternoon and at the reception tonight,
at which President Taft and Mr. Car
negie headed the receiving party.

Baker City— The greatest call for
laborers ever sent out from Eastern
Oregon can now be heard in all parts
o f Baker county, and there is no pros

A ll lines o f industry are cramped by
the shortage and it is probable some
campaign will be inaugurated by the
large concerns to secure men.
One

hundreds ofmen and is unable to secure
them at any price. • The Warren Con

Washington —- Senator Bourne has
received final assurance of free trans

on the Pacific coast where lobsters will
grow.
Fish Commissioner Bowers
says: “ Shipment will be made between
May 1 and 10. The fear expressed by
Yaquina people that the lobsters will
injure the fishing industry is ground
