THE WORLD'S RICHEST WOMAN Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, passed away yesterday. She left something more than a hun dred million dollars as an evidence of her thrift and financial ability. That she was full of business was shown by the bargain she made at her marriage. The man she married, Edward Green, who had made a for tune of several millions in the silk trade in Manila, re turned to New York and there boasted that he would marry the richest heiress in the country. That person at that time was Hetty Robinson, nearly thirty years old. Green made good his boast and wooed and won the heiress. It was rather a cold-blooded romance for before she consented to marry she made Green sign a contract ' pledging himself never to touch a cent of her money and to support her and any children that might be born of the marriage, from his own funds. That she held him to the contract strictly is asserted. Just before her marriage she inherited $10,000,000 from her father and in the fifty-four years since she had in creased that sum to above the hundred million mark. It is said of her that her son, "Eddie," as she called him despite his :',50 pounds, was the only person to whom Mrs. Green never openly begrudged money. Accumulat ing money was her ruling passion and remained with her until her death. Her son said that just before her final illness his mother said "there was nothing in her life to regret." - ... Looking at life from her standpoint, that its main ob ject was to accumulate money, her statement was prob i ably correct. It seems she had never missed an oppor ' tunity to make or save a dollar when she could and this . -was the accomplishment of all that was good as she ; viewed life. The things that appeal to the average healthy-minded person evidently, had no attractions for . her, hence she cannot be judged by common standards, i In fifty-five years she added $00,000,000 to her fortune, ' but it only took her an instant to let go of it all when the time came. With her love of money it must as Abe : Martin might say, "have almost killed her to have to die." She was perhaps in some respects not an un- kind woman, nor an uncharitable one. Born with a love '. of money and money making, is she any more to blame for following the bent of her inclinations than she would have been to devote her whole time to music or to art had she had a prediction that way? Was she in fact any different in her conduct than the philanthropist, the i missionary, the evangelist, the statesman, the inventor or any other whose genius and desires led along certain paths? If so, how and why ? The cheering statement is made that wood is to be advanced one dollar a cord, in Portland, at least. This is not due to the fuel supply of Oregon getting short, but to the fact that the starting up of the mills caused the wood cutters, to jump their jobs and seek work in the logging camps where the pay is much better. Coal will also be advanced because the shortage of wood permits the ' dealers to stand the consumer up for more. It is the old ; story of supply and demand. It is stated that if the country can manage the Mex ican war without Colonel Roosevelt, in case war should come, that he will tour the country in behalf of Mr. - Hughes. This settles it, for if war comes it necessarily follows that it cannot be carried to a successful termina tion unless the Colonel is at the front with his teeth in eight. The Oregonian paragrapher says "war scarcity of . chemicals has some compensations. We do not see so much of the peroxide blonds." Can it be possible hehas not caught on to the latest styles. Curious how nobody suspected the deep affection ex isting between Charlie and Teddy. Their little spats preceding the Chicago convention it seems were only lovers' quarrels.

The attendance was large, all parts of the valley responding to Salem's invitation generously, and everything was carried out without a hitch. The baby parade was, as usual, the most attractive feature and this can be said without disparagement of any of the other splendid tilings, lhe queen personified; the Cherrians ornamental; the auto parade was beautiful; Hiawatha was an attractive feature; the music was fine and the dance last night a most delightful affair for those who are worshippers at the altar of Terpsichore. The day, Cherry day, was in every way all that could be hoped for it, and much of the credit for its success is due to Mr. Benjamin Brick who had charge and who was indefatig able in his efforts to make it an occasion long to be re membered. He succeeded. Today the eagle is screaming out at the fair grounds and the Fourth is being celebrated in good old fashioned way. thousands of guests whose presence contributed so large ly to the day being thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks are also given abundantly to the weather clerk for a perfect day. Oregon's production of gold for the calendar year 915 was 90,:521 fine ounces . valued at $1,867,100. Six other states and Alaska each produce more, but New Mexico and Idaho both mining states produced less than Oregon. The production amounts to over two dollars per capita. California leads with 1,090,731 fine ounces to Colorado's 1,089,928, but Colorado's silver production was about four times that of California placing her in the lead as a producer of precious metals. California's total product was valued at $2:1,390,500; Colorado's at $26,122,700. Alaska was third with a total of $17,2:56,100. The English seem to be doing as they did in the so called "great offensive" of last year. After a little dash at the German trenches the official dispatches state that they have in "many instances fallen back to their orig inal positions with only moderate loss." The bravery and efficiency to the British armies evidently goes to the extent of making them good spectators just out of rifle range while their French allies do the real fighting. Out side of their colonials their efforts to form a fighting machine must have afforded the Germans a good deal of amusement. This is a legal holiday and about everybody and his friends are utilizing it by going fishing, or to the fair grounds or just being lazy. Of course this does not ap ply to the newspapermen who have just that much harder work to find something to make the paper readable, since all places of business are closed and the sources of news cut off. However the Capital Journal gang is a good natured bunch and sincerely hopes all the balance of the city is having a pleasant time and that they did not get their money on the wrong horses at the races today. . The Portland sleuths are not at all certain that Ben nett Thompson is the person wanted for the Jennings murder, but they are suspicious enough of him to have him arrested on a charge of stealing a pair of scissors. So far they have not discovered any blood spots on the scissors. In view of present conditions between this country and Mexico, it is worth noting that 68 years ago today, July 4, 1848, the treaty of peace with Mexico that brought a large portion of the West and the Pacific coast under the American flag, was completed. Mount Jefferson peeped out yesterday afternoon look ing like a big dish of ice cream on top of the Cascades.

Starr Jordan, of Stanford universitv. i said on his arrival here yesterday from a peaco mission at El Taso and Albu querque, N. M. Dr. Jordan, who is attending the Na tional Education association convention said : "The 'future history of this country is written in the schools. Our history has fallen short of its high ideals of freedom, democracy and peace. If the schools nad done their duty the idea of war with Mexico at this time womrl be absurd. 'America first' is inconsistent. We are nil tied up here. The welfare of America is not independent of the welfare of other nations." Strikebreaker Shoots Portland Dock Worker Portland, Or., July I.

FOURTH OF JULY TETANUS Hack in 1!I0." thero were 104 deaths the I'niteil States from Fourth of July tetanus, this figure representing about the average nnnunl mortality, says the C.

When the returns came in it was found that a boy down in Maine had been injured, developed tetanus and died. The single fatality was only one among several hundied thousand oc- curing in the I mted States during I9I.1 but it resulted from Fourth of July tetanus or loekj-iw, a preventable disease, and was therefore an unneces sary death. I lie loss of this bov makes it necessary to again dissemi nate information regarding this whol ly uvoidnble infection. The blank cartridge wound is the great cause of Fourth of July tetanus but injuries from crackers and fire arms are at times responsible. Wheu driven into the tissues the wadding arries with it innumerable bacilli. It' these be tetanus bacilli the poisonous products or toxins resulting from their multiplication produce the disease. Tetanus bacilli thrive only in the ab sence of oxygen.

The cost has doubtless increased slight ly, as the important copper companiee have increased the wages of their em ployees, but this increase has beea largely offset by decrease in cost due to working plants at the maximum, capacity. Jinny small mines are op erating that could not be profitably worked under normal conditions and this, of course, tends to increase the average cost per pound. The profits of the producing com panies have been large and as much ut the output is sold several month ahead of delivery the prosperity of the industry is well assured for the re mainder of the year, so that 191(5 will doubtless be the most profitable year in the history of copper production to the present time and possibly for yean to come.
