That man Is John ! btafiley, of South Salem. Though not In anyway related to Robertson, Mr. , Stanley has manifested a keen Interest in hU friend's welfare and has prose cuted his search persistently since RobWtson's disappearance. Duing the past few days Mr. Stan ley obtained a slight clew that he thought might aid him In locating the place Where his acquaintance was in terred. Yesterday he went to a resi dence lot at the intersection of Unim and High streets, where ths man, whom suspects of having made away with Robertson, formerly resided. He first . cleaned out a well on the premises, that ' bad been abandoned shortly after Rob ertson dijapjiered. when Is was filled with rubhkh of all kinds. This search availed him nothing but, undlscouraged, excavated to a depth of about nine feet on the site of an old barn, in the rear of the lot. Here he found a large wool hat, several shoes and some cloth ing. The hat; which has been identi fied its the one worn by Robertson. lias a bullet hole In one side, Just above the band. Air. Stanley is not yet satisfied with Ids search but will resume It within k few days, when a neighboring well to the one already explored, will ha Searched. The water In the well to be visited next has not been ued for Months by reason of the fearful stench 'itJ.'S' the v'-om. Mr. Stanley haV enlisted the assist ance A Chif of Police Oibsrtn In his nearfh and will prosecute his quest UnUi he has discovered the remains of Itoinrrt.Hon or until he is satisfactorily convinced that his suppositions are Incorrectly founded.

Scott, at their convention this morn ing, is as follows: I The West greets the East today--! distinction can be made letween l".art and West, anywhere, or even here upon the Anencan chores, of the Ia- cific. ' As a geographical exprewdon the Wet has ever been indeterminate The East has been treading upon the In els of the West, yet ha never over taken it. Latterly the Wt ha taken ship on the Pacific and through one cf the movements of history, has over imh ine ruj-i. America nas put a iv girdle around the earth; and the Wst has moved on. till it has reached the gateway of the -morning, over by the Orient, where the mp;.f thtATVb ed States are plan thru the banners of a new civil! zatlon. West and East, therefore, never quite defined, are being made one for us very rapidly by the march cf great events, compelling the substitution and ure of specific geographical terms fcr a general tnd vague nomenclature. Our visitc rs do not f.nd the West here. The men cf Oregon, of Washington, of California, of Idaho, of Mcntara, of Utah, of Colorado, responding to th call of the country, have carried it over t-eas between the Et and AVeft, we create in the , minds -of cur visitors the im pression that they are not far from home. s New Racket Has started slanghtering: their immmense stock of Clothing. .

ABOUT FRIDAT. The belief that Friday Is a day of bad luck arose from varied reasons. One superstition is that It was on Fri day that Adam and Eve ate the fatal apple, and then It Is agreed that Christ was crucined on Friday. It 1 believed to be bad luck to cut the finger nails on Friday, and manicurists say their business la lightest' on that day. LOCK LEY. At her home in Highland addition to Salem, at 8 . m.

The success of thes-i means, the succevs and supremacy of the race; and our failure to meet the conditions of a, world environment, into; whleh we are now plunged, and froth which we cir.not escape, would mean that the race would gradually fad out and disappear as other races have d'ne under slm'lar clrcum' stances.
