Ten days ago a man who refused to
give his name landed on Shaw's island.
opposite Vancouver. with crew Of men
and began digging near two cottonwood
trees on small island adjoining Shaw's
island, leased by Jay Beach. Beach
asked the man what he was doing. He
replied that he had come from England
TO find treasure buried by his brother
during the time Of the Hudson Bay com.
pany. The brother was pirate. One
man in the party kept sharp lookout
while the other men were working.

Last Saturday morning about six
o'clock fire burst through the roof OF

whole row OF frame structures in the
block were threatened with destruction.
1t was only through the prompt re-
Spouse and rapid work of the fire com.
panies that the flames were confined to
the place of origin. No better disci-
pline or more efficient effort ever mark
ed volunteer fire department than that
exhibited on this occasion, aud our citi-
zens have just reason to he proud of the
boys. The water-works company, also,
comes In for share of the praise for
Its promptness in supplying the direct
pressure from its pumps. as without it
the work of the iremen to save the row
would have proven futile.
The flames started from a defective
fine above the bake-oyen and spread
rapidly through the building between
the ceiling and the roof. and burned for
some time before it was under control.
The building was owned by Mrs. Geo.
Is. WOnnacOtt. The loss was total, and
its remains will be torn down. 1t was
valued at 500 and insured for $3.50 in
companies represented by Fred. Won

owner the full amount.

their clothing, and his loss on stock and

saspfsisn Of . Terrible Crime.
That was dreadful crime reported
from Toledo 10 days or 70 ago shout m
outrage perpetrated upon girl by two
tramps. The valley papers have been
printing various comments and specu-
lations about it. and now the Elk City
correspondent Of the Corvallis Times
offers as authentic . version OF the effair
which is no less wonderful than the first
story. and ii true. as it seems to be, es-
tablishes one Of the most remarkable in
stances OF somnambulism or sleep walk
ing ever recorded. The account is az
follows:
Miss Cora Mays, the l6-year-old
daughter Of Mrs. Sam Dogan, resides
wit her family on the south side of the
Yaquina river, six miles east Of Toledo.
Between and o'clock Friday night
during her sleep. and clad only in a
nightrobe, she arose from her bed and
walked ont On the back porch. There she
secured an old oilcloth coat. and after
wrapping it around her picked up a
piece Of rope and started for the river,
100 yards distant. At the boat landing
she entered boat, rowed herself up the
river about 400 yards and landed on the
opposite bank. After setting the boat
adrift. she climbed a steep bank on the
railroad track, where, with the rope, she
tied her lower limbs together, passed the
rope around her body twice over her
shoulder. and then tied her hands behind
her body. Then she hobbled up the rail.
road track for distance of about three
quarters Of mile and suddenly fell
She was awakened by the fall, and al
though nearly paralyzed by cold and
fright started to retrace her steps.
Her cries of distress soon alarmed the
occupants of house near by, who came
TO her rescue and found her still tied.
nervous, chilled and in the saddess Of
very sad pliShts. She was taken home
at once. and then her family learned for
the first time that she had been absent
from the house and of course accepted
her condition as the evidence that she
had been the victim of an abduction.
This was the news that first reached the
community, and enraged men secured
the vicinity for the supposed guilty par
ties. Two tramps were arrested at Sum
NIT on suspicion, and after staring de-
struction in the face for several hours
were finally released after establishing
an alibi.
"a good sleep restored the young girl
to her normal condition, and thus what
appeared at first a shocking crime was

For keeping large pieces of meat and

large barrel or hogshead half filled with
charcoal. Put meat hooks in a strip Of
joist and place across the top of the bar
rel. Have netting to spread over this.
This barrel may be kept in a cool place
and pieces of meat be hung on the hooks.
The charcoal will keep the atmosphere
dry and sweet, and the netting will be Il
protection against insects. Should there
be danger from rats or mice use wire
netting.
Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt,
wrapped in paper and buried in bed of
charcoal. OF course the charcoal in
boxes and barrels should be changed at
least once month. 1t can be used for
lighting fires or for broiling meats or
fish. If, however, il it difficult to get II
good supply of charcoal the old can be
purified by putting it into the stove with
few lighted chips and allowing il to
burn until redhot. At this stage open
all the windows to let tic gas l,a5j Off,;
then close the drafts OF thcStoye. remove
the covers and leave The room. When
the charcoal becomes cold, it viii be
ready for use again. - Ladies' Home
