'.00 Six DOING GOOD WORK William Jennings Bryan has boon down at Panama and In tho Com moner publishes tho following on how our government Is handling thlrig8,iri the Canal Zone: . Softools have been opened in overy town and eighteen hundred children are being instructed by fifty-six teachers. Nor have the morals of the various communities beon neglected. Nlrie resident and four visiting chaplains of dlfforent denomina tions minister to the spiritual needs of the employes of the zone, and at tho larger towns club rooms are conducted by representatives of the Young Men's Christian Association. These rooms are equipped with libraries, reading rooms, bath rooms, gymnasiums, amusement rooms, pool tables, bowling alloys, etc., and more than one-fourth of the American employes are regular mem bers of these associations. There Can bo no doubt as to tho great value of the services rendered by these club rooms. ,,.1 think it is safe to say that at no former time and under no other government have so many people men, women and children been transported from a temperate to the torrid zone for temporary residence, and surrounded wltho many of the comforts and conveniences or home. And It Is entirely proper that this should be so,, for thoso who are making a success of this national enterprise deserve all the care they are receiving. An excellent government hotel' at Ancon, tho Levoll, accommodates transient guests. Gambling and disorderly houses are not allowed on the zone, but these restrictions unfortunately are not observed in Colon and Panama, which arq by treaty tinder the government of the republic of Panama. However, as there are no night trains excepting on Sunday, the visits to Panama and Colon are reduced' to a minimum. ' There' are fifty-four saloons In the Canal Zono, each one paying a license of twelve hundred dollars per year. They are open from 6 a. m. to 11 p. m. on week days, and from C a. m. to 11 a, m. on Sundays. -o Denmark is ,building railroads and making the unearned, Increment of tho land Increased in value by them pay for tho roads built. Even .then, less than one-third of the increased values nro taken. . o Tho people of Oregon should have the power of taxation close in their own hands. , What they will da with it is another matter. ' O ; The reclamation of 42,000 acres of land .In Oregon by the national government 'will bo followed by nearly 150,000 acres more. Tho total cost will not be moro thnn $30 an acre on an average, but will, create land values to more than $100 an acre. Tho entire cost will not equal half that for a "Dreadnaught." Every dollar of the reclamation fund will return to the treasury. Every dollar of the "Dreadnaught" will sink In a scrap pile. o With tho assurance that Undo Sam will appropriate $60,000 for Sluslaw harbor, and the local taxes giving twice as much more, prop erty shoujd go up a great deal. The kind of property .that will go up in. price will not bo any kind that human labor and invention will be able to produce or bring in, or take away, or destroy. That kind of property always increases three times more from such Improvements mentioned as their local cost. In Denmark, a' tax on It of one-third the unearned increment pays back tho total cost of tho Improvements In "harbor work, railroad build ing, canal digging, etc. o The Port of Toledo has been formed for the betterment of Yaqtiina Bay, Thore are maenlflcent onnortnnltlea lvlnc Irllo nil around Yanttlnn.

Druggists, SALEM. 5 A PATHETIC STORY BY THE San Francisco, March 17. Pov erty, pathos, struggling ambition and a lovo of nrt, surpassing his re alization of right and wrong, ara fenturcs of a romarkablo story told yesterday by William Kunzee in ox planatlon of why ho stole the twon- ty-flve thousand dollar Millet paint ing from the Park gallery hero last Sunday. "I could not resist tho thought that I ought to own it and have It where I could see It and study It all the time and try to reproduce the wonderful color," ho declared. Kunzee's strange story is .borne out, according to tho belief of th. police, to a large extent by the fact that he freely talked or his theft to A. W. Beck, his only friend in this city. Beck reported It to the au thorities. When arrested Tuesday evening, Kunzee was at work in his cheap, barren garret, trying to reproduce the colors of the Millet. The picture Is a pastoral called, "The Return of the Shepherd." Here is Kunzee's own story of his life, his ambition and his disgrace, told through the bars of his cell: "All my life I have tried to be come an artist. More than anything else I wanted to paint pastoral scenes. That Is tho reason tho Mil let picture, with its beautiful twi light colors and sheep, so affected mo that I could not resist the thought that I must own It and study It until I could paint great pic tures myself. "My father was a Dresden shoe maker. I worked hard when I was a boy. There was no money to give me an art education. My brother Max was given an education as a musician and later went to the Bos ton Symphony orchestra as flrjt basso. "I could draw when I was a little boy. As I grew up I spent every holiday I could get in tho . picture' galleries. I knew all of the win. dows where art dealers kept pic tures. I spent every spare mark In getting prints or great pictures, "At the technic school I read about Millet. He was -very poor, but ho 'never stopped painting. I often thought about him, but I never saw otto or his paintings until I came to America, about eight years ago. "Now I am between 25 and 2t years or age. When "It canto time for my military duty I ran away from home, after I had letters from my brother, Max. ' i stowed away on a cattlo steamer nnd was arrested when X reached Portland, Maine. That Is tho only other time I was ever lit trouble. Max got me out of jail and I went to Boston with him. "There aro other paintings at the library. I went to see Abbey's pic tures. And I went to the museum of fine arts many times. "Next I went to New York. For some time I only walked down to rite picture dealers' places. Most or tho time I looked Into tho win dows. One or two places I went into. One or them has a French name. It Is on Fifth Avenue. "Finally I asked about libraries COMPANY CLAIMS THE ACCRETION Tho supremo court yesterday listened to the argument or attor neys in tho case or the Taylor-Sands Fishing company against the State Land Board. This case was instituted In the court or Judge Gnlioway for tho pur pose of restraining tho board from tho leasing of certain lands located In the Columbia river. It seems that some tlmo ago the company purchnsed from tho stnte an island In tho river for seining grounds nnd that slnco then, through tho actlou or the water, or tho stream, an addi tion has been made to tho original tract. When tho state, In response to an application, sought to loaso this additional area, tho companj brought action to restrain tho board but Judge Galloway denied It. The contention of tho company 13 that tho now nroa Is an accretion to Its lands and under the law bolongs to It, and that theroforo the state has no power to lenso or soil It, It is further contended thnt should the state havo this power that tho com pany would bo without any means of reaching the river and that It should bo given an option upon the land. o NOW 300,000 COAL MINERS .

Otherwise no scale would be signed and tho titott would 1 be ordered out. The scale committee or tho niln workers held an executive session last night. Although no announce ment was made, It was hinted that the member, could not syree on a new wax scale.

I The average man's voice Isn't , tuned for lullaby stunts. IS TOLD POOR ARTIST KUNZEE and galleries nnd a Gorman told nv to go to the Metropolitan museum "There I saw for the first time r Millet. It was 'The Sower.' Noth ing else I saw had such color, such dimensions, so rich. "Many times I went thero; al ways td seo 'The Sower.' I studied the colors of others. But that color was greatest. "I have nevor hnd a sweetheart I havo no rriends. In New York 1 knew no one. I knew only one man ltere.. Ho Is, a cook, but his brother is a painter. I had to work hard and I could not paint because' I had no paints. "The pictures In the windows and at the Metropolitan were as my com panions. I knew when the dealers changed the pictures, ajtd It was as though I lost rriends, but found new ones. "Then I worked my way along th Big Four railroad as a laborer. Nex I struck . the Northern Pacific and made my way to Spokane and Seat tle. From there I went to Portland and a few years ago I came here. "I had a little money, so I started painting for a living. It is hard te soil water colors, but easier to sel' oil paintings. I got a dollar for m water colors, pictures eight incite' by ten or twelve! always landscape" most of them with sheep. For oils I got $3 sometimes; enough to live I have never signed my name to any thing I painted. That was to .come after I had studied. "I used to see the pictures in Sut ler street and in Post street win dows, nnd then I went to tho mu seum. I had never been out ther until recently. "Sunday morning I wa'ked out i see the Millet. When I got Into th museum I went right to it. It came over me that if I had'it all the time I could look at it and -study it and paint better. "I was shaking; I thought of cut Hng It out of touching it with my fingers. There was no one In the room. My hand went Into my pocket. It was so easy. Then I cut out the picture and rolled It up stuck It tinder my coat and walked out the main entrance. "Thero was a policeman at the door. He did not notice me. I httr r'ed back to my .room and spread the picture out before me and I look ed at It for ii lone: Hmp. Thn t "' my paints and tried to imitate the colors. "I did not Intend even to try to copy the painting exactly, but tp copy the sheep in one picture and the figure in another, and above all. to study the colors. "I had no accomplices. Nobody to tell me to steal the picture. I knew that it was worth a lot ot money, probably $1,000, I thought after I got home. Only when I read about It In the papers when I went to,n restaurant for breakrast Mon day morning did ,1 know how much It was worth In money. But I did nor want money when I stole it. I only wanted to have it and worship It nnd havo it always ter my own." SOUTHERN PACIFIC RY. CO. Time Table 58. Bfrectlve Sunday, January 1910 12:01 a. m. .Northbound.

" Beautiful Hair at Small Cost HAIR troubles, like many other diseases, have been wrongly diagnosed and altogether mis. understood. The lialr itself is not the thing to be treated, for the reason that it Is simply a product of the scalp and wholly dependent upon Its action. The scalp is the very soil In which the hair Is pro uuced, nurtured nnd grown, and it alone should receive the attention If results are to be expected. It would do no earthly good to treat the stem of a plant with a view of making it grow and become more beautiful the. soil In which the plant grows must be atteuded-to. Therefore, tho scalp Irt which the hair crows must receive the attention if you ars to expact it to grow and become mors beautiful. lfss of hair Is caused by the scalp drying up, or losing its supply of moisture or nutriment; when baldness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed upon (a plant or even a tree would die under similar conditions.) The natural thing to do In either case, is to feed and replenish the soil or scalp as the case may be, and your crop will grow and multiply as nature intended it should. Knowlton's Danderine has a most wonder ful effect upon th hair glands and tissues of tho scalp. It Is the only remedy for the hair ever discovered that Is similar to the natural hair loeds or liquids of the scalp. It penetrates the pores quickly and the hair soon shows the effects of Us wonderfully exhilar ating aud life-producing qualities.
