rHE HOUSE wENr powN.
Seventy Tons too Much for the u. z. &
A. N Freight House.

About $50 last evening the little
freight house at the lower end of the
d. P. & A. N. dock went down under
the immense weight of 20 tons of
freight that had been piled up within
it, The Dalles City had just flushed
unloading her cargo, and all hands
about the dock had started home,
when a crash came, and all of sudden
the little house was total wreck.
The timber of which it was built was
scattered around promiscuously and
the large quantity of freight was piled
on the ground underneath where the
house formerly stood in 4 promisc"u.
heap. Fortunately very little Of the
contents of the warehouse went into
the river, and by pressing into service
nearly all the drays in town the com
pany was able to move all the freight
to their large warehouse in few hours.
The freight house was built last
spring and was a structure 24x40 feet,
built upon what appeared to be solid
foundation. composed of sleepers 24xI2
inches, rs feet long laid On stringers
I2zl2 that rested on piling sunk deep
into the ground. The sleepers how
eyer broke in the middle, allowing the
building to collapse.
The company began clearing away
the debris at once, and will have an
other freight house constructed within
a few days. resting on Il firmer founda-
tion, so that in the future there will be
no danger of another like mlshap.

THE oEFAULTING K. P. SECRETARY
He Plead Guilty and Was Sentenced to
Six Years in the Penitentiary

He Plead Guilty and Was Sentenced to
Six Years in the Penitentiary.
George Mcconnell, for several years
keeper of records and seals of the
Oregon Knights of Pythias, who de-
faulted with funds of the order and de-
camped to British Columbia several
months ago, appeared in Judge Sears
court in Portland last Saturday morn
ing and pleaded guilty to three out of
five indictments against him for wrong
fully converting money and for forgery
OF bills of exchange upon banks.
He was sentenced to three, two and
one years respectively-six years in all
but as the sentences run concurrently
Mcconnell will spend but three years
in the penitentiary unless he is par
doned.
The indictments upon which McCon-
nell was sentenced are for forgery of
bill of exchange on the First National
bank of Corvallis for $1,000 ane one
upon the First National bank of Hills
boro for S53.93 and the third was lar
ceny by bailee of S55.97 money of Blue
Mountain lodge, No %, K. of P.
Speaking of McConnell's case the
Portland Telegram says:
McConnell's downfall, which was
quite a sensation in this city, was
brought about by whisky and cards.
-Four months ago he disappeared with
an uncertain amount of cash and went
to British Columbia. Judge Stevens,
while on visit to Rossland, last sum-
mer, found Mcconnell in that city.
He was on a 'toot' and spending what
money he possessed like prince.
When the officer went after him Nc
council sobered up and said he would
accompany him without any trouble
whatever. When arranged today and
asked if he had anything to say, Nc
Connell said that he had no defense to
make of his conduct. Sentence was
then pronounced. 1t is believed that
the Oregon knights of Pythias lodges
have lost altogether something like
$1,000 through McConnell's specu.

The accident that occurl ed to the
D. P. & A. N. freight house last
night was indeed fortunate one, since
very little of the merchandise in the
house was damaged. A few sacks of
sugar and salt were torn and a small
quantity of household furniture was
broken. In all the damage to mer-
chandise did not amount to more than
S25.

the supreme court handed down de-
cision sustaining that of the lower
court in restraining the state treas

that it would be violation of the con.

costing +. P. Sheasgreen's little son
the loss of an eye. The boys were
playing soldier at the time, and when
the accident occurred it was pretty
hard matter to determine which one of
them was the more scared. Fortunate
ly the shot struck the injured boy just
below the eyeball, and inflicted only
slight abrasion of the skin. Had the
bullet rarged a half-inch higher, the
result would certainly have been seri-
ious.

The Ralnless District.

In recent Little Curious Note"
We said, remarks the author of that
department, that 'the drYest region
Ia the world is between the first and
second cataracts Of the Nile. In that
part of Africa rain was never known
to fall and the natives do not believe
the missionaries who tell them about
water falling from the skies 4. A.
K, an Arkansas reader of the RE
public, read the above and then wrote
as follows to the editor of Notes for
the Curlous:" Il think I have found a
curious note equal to your late African
desert article regarding the Nile re-
gion, where rain is unknown. My
quotation is from one of the United
States weather bulletins and on that
account must be "oficial." 1t is as
follows: "The most rainless tract in
the United States at which regular
meteorological observations have been
taken for a series of years is at Fort
Garland, Col. At that place less than
six inches of rainfall have been re-
corded annually since 1885, and dur
ing three years of that time there was
less than two inches of precipitation
between January LIST ana December
3lst. That portion of the Centennial
State is almost as much of desert as
is any portion of the Sahara, but there
are regions within the limits of the
United States that are worse off in
this respect than Colorado. There
are deserts in Arizona, Utah, Nevada,
and California where no drop of rain
or due has ever been known. In the
last-named State there are headboards
put up to graves of Spanish pioneers
which show the chalk marks that were
put on them over 100 years ago, and
they are as plain as on the day when
first made. ""-St Louis Republic.

Latent Heritages.

In some cases we can prove that .
so-called reversion is simply the mani
festation of feature which is latent
in the structure of all the normal in
dividuals of the species. The occur
renee of a distinct premaxillary bone
in man is an example of this sort of
reversion. 1t is the outcome of the
arrest of normal development, and
this arrest might have happened to
any member of the species. We do
not know what causes the arrest, but
the view that it is due to some adverse
circumstance which has kept the in
dividual from completing its develop
ment is much more simple and proba-
BILE than the view that the child in
herits its distin ct premaxilla from any
ancestor except its parents.
When the son of beardless boy
grows up and acquires a beard, we
may be permitted to say that he has
inherited his grandfather's beard ;but
this is only figure of speech, and he
actually inherits the beard which his
father might have acquired had he
lived nor would the case of child
descended from a series of ten or
hundred beardless boys and beardless
women be any different. fit were to
propagate plant by cuttings, for ten
or hundred generations, under con-
ditions which did not permit it to
flower, we should not be justified in
saying that it did not inherit its
flower from the preceding cutting !;
nor would the case be any different if,
for some reason, this preceding cut
ting could not be made to bloom. -

A Bit of Royal Love.

The Emperor, then a yonng man OF

came upon a rustic, rose-covered sum
house, where pretty girl of his own
age was sleeping in hammock. He
did not disturb her, but went on his
way, thinking of little German poem
known as the "Briar Rose.
