Phone Main SI. A HARD HEARTED MANAGER Henry Ford used poor judgment in selecting a financial agent to look after his peace delegates. The name of this agent is Plaintiff and he manages to classify his pro teges as defendants; that is he is always on the opposite side. ' Besides he lacks savoir faire whatever that is and is shy of that delicate understanding of the working of the faminine mind so necessary in one who is a fiduciary capacity, is controlling the' strings of a very plethoric purse, from which said feminine mind is supposed to draw inspiration, and other things. The dispatches tell us that Monday a bevy of the fair ones fluttered around the hard hearted Plaintiff and suggested that a stunning gown for each to display at the big meeting at The Hague was a sine qua non, a ne plus ultra, and would do more towTard getting the boys out of the trenches before next Christmas than anything any one had yet suggested. Then they cooed: "Would not Mr. Plaintiff 0. K. their bills at the leading modistes for the gowns aforesaid." Why each of those gowns would be a loud voiced argu ment for peace; a "Skookum wawa " making the wearers that one irresistable force that would meet and upset an immovable body the men in the trenches. "Would he please'?' Did he yield? come through? pungle? Not so far as heard from. On the contrary he stood like Ajax defying the light ning, with the Ford purse strings tightly gripped, and with flashing eyes replied "Nixie for you girls, there's nothing doing,; skiddoo.'' "Would he let them stay in dear old Yurrup for a while, and pay their passage back when they returned?" Did he show tact, diplomacy, savoir faire, as afore said? Rid he peddle them hot air flavored with taffy, and tell them he and the whole party would be inconsol ble if forced to make the.return without them? Rid he tell them that life with them handy was one glad sweet song, and without them, a cactus covered desert without an oasis, and dry as Portland on New Year's morning? Did he give them a jolly that made them just crazy to "stay with the ship," and forget all about the gowns, the later trip home and a long visit in Yurrup? He did not. He told them bluntly they could go home on the ship with the balance of the party or foot the bills "the mean old thing." That is why he is a failure on the job. He needs to have his mental clevis pen set over for he takes too much land. As a soil expert would say: "He cuts more than he can cover." If it was for his wife he refused to buy a gown, the act might be excusable; but with Henry Ford's millions back of him and a bevy of women anguishing for gowns in front, he is indeed of heroic mold who stands pat, says no and sticks to it. Another Carnegie medal is due. WEALTH AND HAPPINESS "Think of the life of the New York millionaires!" ex claims a South American observer, "think of the sleepless nights they spend in their efforts to excel one another to attract attention, even if only for a moment. 'A dog would not be satisfied with such a life', they would un doubtedly exclaim with Faust, if they knew Faust, which most of them do not." Hugo Wittman, in 1900, for fun, in his imagination, bought everything which struck his fancy in the art de partment of the Paris exposition. When he had bought enough to furnish three rooms as he should like to have them be found that it would cost him $24,000,000. "Then I did not buy any more," he wrote in his diary, "because I found that happiness was not included." What would it have cost to furnish a mansion at this rate? and this includes only what money will buy. There are many other things which cannot be bought and it happens the unbuyable things are the real things so far as happiness goes. )6 SC fc lC iff (C 3C jft Sft 3fC 9C 3jC 9C 9fC )C lf STATE NEWS Medford Sun: The required 5000 acres for the establishment of a beet sugar factory has been secured, accord ing to au announcement made by the camnuign committee Inst night, and the next move is up to the Oregon-Utah Sugar company. Alex Nibley, secretary of this concern, who has been in charge of the Medford end of tho campaign left Tuesday morning for Grants Pass expecting to return on the afternoon train, but failed. The beet sugar com mittee has enough acreage signed and promised to make up the full quota. It is expected that a conference will be held with Mr. Nibley this afternoon and a definite decision reached. C. W. Nibley is expected to arrive in the city tho Inst, of the week, when another cpnference will be held. Dr. W. A. COX Influenza, or as it is more commonly called "the grip," is epidemic in nearly all sections of the country, and it is of an unusually severe type. Cleveland and Detroit re port about 100,000 cases each, and other cities are in nearly if not quite as bad condition. Business is ham pered by the employes being laid up, and also by the fact that customers are in the same condition. It is one of the most distressing diseases and its worst feature is the ills it leaves behind it. The United States correspondent wiring from Petro grad yesterday gives some astonishing figures as to the strength of the Russian armies. He places the veterans now at the front at 4,000,000, the freshly armed troops at 5,000,000 and other millions being armed at the rate of 500,000 a month. He estimates Russia's strength at the opening of spring at 12,000,000. It would seem that such an army would be irresistable. Bryan would be a thorn in the side of his former superior, the president, and it is possible may stump the country against him should he be nominated for presi dent. There is not much point left on that thorn, but he would make a good running mate for the bloodthirsty Teddy. Their traits would balance each other and make one good average man between them. Walt Mafon THRIFTY The old battleship Oretron, famous for its fast trip around Cape Horn dur ing the Spanish-American war in 1N08 has been given to the naval militia of California for use. At least 100 regu larly enlisted sailors and several offi cers will be stationed aboard tho ves sel to aid in the instruction of the mil itiamen. This is the largest fighting shin that, in the United States, has ev er been given over to a militia. Not many years ago the vessel wa over hauled thoroughly and armed with big nnd modern guns. She has several 13 inch guns in her turrets. The Oregon' will be taken to sea during tho sum mer cruises of the militiamen.

Pendleton Tribune: One of the big gest jnckrnhhit drives of the season toolt place yesterday down in the snge brush country, where nbout 15 Indians from tho Tntuilla mission killed 482 rabbits for tiie New Years dinner there today. The remarkable thing nbout the drive is that every one of these rab bits was killed with a rifle.

It seems a drink has been on sale in Seattle since the state went dry, which does not contain a trace of alcohol. Notwithstanding this Mr. Lundin forbids its being sold and says he will prosecute all who sell it, as it is "a malt liquor." Lundin seems to have about the same ideas about the law as the Neapoli tans who were forbidden "to shed blood on the streets," and who arrested a doctor for bleeding a man who had fallen in a fit on the street. After a long trial the judge held the law did not apply to the act. Lundin should take a few lessons from Naples. The dispatches announce that Cleveland, Detroit and most other large cities have the grip. This is a case of getting the cart before the horse. The fact is the grip has those cities and a good many more.

The state public service commission has made an order inquiring the Coos Bny Water company to construct an ad ditional reservoir, with a enpocity of 250.000 gallons, at North Bend on or before April 1, 1910.
