ALBANY (Or), Aug. 3.-The bravery
and grit of Roy La Porte, seventeen
year-old youth of this city, is worthy OF
recognition by all the humane societies
In the country He saved Lizzie MallOy
and Agnes Bury from drowning in the
Willamette River on Saturday. He
CHANGED to pass by while they were
bathing in conventional costumes, and
6 moment later he heard them Shrek.
retracing his steps, young La Porte
saw the girls struggling for life. With
out divesting himself of a stitch OF
clothing he sprang into the water. AS
he reached the girls one of them
ciutched him around the neck, render
ing him almost helpless. The other girl
In her terror seized her companion, and
the trio sank with a seemingly remote
prospect of ever rising again.
With almost abnormal strength La
Porte freed himself and managed to
bring the girls to the surface once more.
In another instant they sank again.
This time La Porte, who had not lost
his presence of mind, made no further
attempt to free himself, but crawled
along the bed of the river until he
reached shallow water, dragging the
two helpless girls with him.
When La Porte reached the shore he
fell exhausted to the ground. AT this
moment A r. Bloom arrived on the
scene and assisted in saving the lives
of the unconscious girls by rolling them
over the ground to force the water from
their mugs.
La Porte and the young ladies are
recovering from the effects of their ad-
venture in the river.

Does Great Damage i'm the Neighbor-
hood OF Grafton.

GRAFTON On. ID, August "a cy-
clone did considerable damage to build
ings about one mile south of Grafton
this morning. Peter Petersons house
was entirely destroyed. There were
nine people in the house, but only two
were injured, most of them taking the
rrecaution to go into the cellar An
old lady was blown out in the wreck
and badly injured. A boy years old
was badly cut on the head. The house
was total loss. An old man attempted
to hold the door from blowing in, and
the next thing he knew he was still
holding the door, but it was on the
ground forty feet away. Going east,
the cyclone destroyed a house and
Sranary and did more or less damage.

Theatrical Managers Organize.

NEW YORK, Aug. Bone hundred
and fifty theatrical managers met this
afternoon and organized the United
Theatrical Managers Association. The
object was declared to be mutual pro-
lection and the securing of equal rights
for the members. The most important
result will be the strengthening of the
positions of the managers who main
tain travelling companies against the
demands of certain railroads which
show a tendency to advance theatrical
rates. The membership present to-day
embraces names from every part of the
country. Another meeting will be held

BOLD ROBBERY.
A San Jose Citizen Roughly Handled
by a FoOtpad.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 3.-A shrewdly
planned robbery on the highway was
successfully carried out about l o'clock
this morning. Paul Hoffman was walk
ing along Oak street on his way home
when some powdery stuff was thrown
in his eyes by a person unseen.
Before Hoffman fairly realized his po-
Sition a blow sent him sprawling on the
ground, and Immediately following the
assault two murderous hands gripped
his throat and choked him into insen-
sibility.
When he recovered his senses he was
alone, but a $50 goldpiece, a dollar in
silver and a gold-plated watch had been
stolen from his person.
Hoffman was able to find his way
home, but his condition was such when
he arrived that his landlady sent for a
physician, who found that the man had
barely escaped a broken neck

LOS ANGELES OIL INDUSTRY.
In Few Weeks 1t Will be a Thing of

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.-The Execu-

this city at it's meeting to-day decided
to move the headquarters of the eX-
change to 426 Bryne block. where the
American Oil Company is located Sec
retary Strasbury of the exchange said
this afternoon:
Il hate very much to admit it, but the
fact is that it is only the question of
week when the oil industry of Los An
geles will be a thing of the past. The
American Oil Company has just sunk
new well and the production is only
about eight barrels. For the last four
months the supply has been 10000 bar
rels short of the consumption. This is
an average of 10000 barrels monthly.
1t will not be long until the furnaces
here are again consuming coal"

A MUSICIANS DEATH.
Suffocated During the Progress OF
Fire at Astoria.

ASTORIA, Aug. 3.-Professor John
Morrisey Navoni, a musician, was suf-
focated during the progress of blaze
in a Sutter- street building early yester-
day morning. Navoni roomed in the
upper portion of the house and made
an attempt to reach his room to save
his violin. He was overcome by the
smoke, but during the excitement was
missed, and it was not until the rooms
were examined by the firemen that his
body was found.
Navoni was born in New York In
1916. He was the son of an Italian
musician of note. In his early life he
was a violinist in many Eastern the
atrical and operate orchestras. He
went to San Francisco about fifteen
years ago and remained there for
number of years, being the first orches-
ira leader in the Tivoli Opera-house.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.-The in

Whittier Reform School is beginning to
show results. AT late meeting of the
