"Dnckedo fhe Guard.

When one undertakes guard
duty it is well for him to be as
sured of the righteousness of his
cause. # he is armed it is better
to be prepared to. shoot in an
emergency than To alloWspme.
body to take his weapon from
him and make him stake water -
In the latter case he is made an
object of ridicule, while if he
shoots and Injuries someone the
chances are that he is elected to
a lot of serious trouble, therefor
if his guard duty is not of sufi-
cient importance to admit of
shooting somebody in case he is
interfered with it is far better for
him to have his weapon at home.
A circumstance that we'll H.
lustrates this point occurred last
Friday evening. The previous
evening some party saw fit. to

that is part of the fountain that
greets visitors gaze on enter
ing the o A c grounds. From
the manner in which the paint
was applied it is natural to sup
pose that whoever committed the
rnisdemeanor is of low and vulgar
taste. In order to prevent any
further outrages to the figure,
guard was posted by it On Hal.
lowe'en night. A lot of fellows
surrounded said guard, disarmed
him and ssduckedn him in the
fountain reservoir. It is not
known whether the guard could
swim or not, but that it was
cool evening for bathing goes
without questioning. The affair
caused considerable merriment
about town and fttingly illus
trates that a guard may some
times be lucky if he is unarmed,
as any advantage that may be
gained over him in such an event
is not nearly so laughable.

Harry Withvcombe, who spent
the summer and fall in the Fish
Lake country, asa forest ranger,
arrived home about "a week ago.
He stood the duties of his posi-
ton splendidly and says he had a
/ splendid outing. The fires left
by campers kept him fairly busy,
but he was fortunate in experience
ing no disastrous fires in his ter
|ritory. Harry and another rang
er on the government reserve
were the last two men TO be dis.
charged at the close of the season.
Next year it IS thought that the
number of rangers employed by
the government viii be consider
able less than the number in ser
vice the past season.
It is proposed that during the
coming year cabins shall be built
on the various mountain peaks of
the reserves and an outlook kept
by man stationed there to over
look the surrounding country
with the aid of a powerful glass.
In case the rHan On the mountain
discovers an alarming amount of
smoke in a certain district he will
communicate the intelligence to
a given place by means of hello
graph. Men will then be sent to
investigate the matter.
1t is thought by some that this
will not prove a successful method
for coping with the fire, as it is
claimed that at certain periods,
and IN some parts of the reserve,
the atmosphere will become so
smoky that it will be impossible
for the lookout to locate where
there is or is not a fire. And
should he determine this matter
to his own satisfaction he would
be unable to flash his message to |
the desired point. These are
some ofthe points that Mr.. Witty
combe has heard discussed in
connection with this problem.
Sunday, Harry left Corvallis
for Chicago, where he will COM.

TROUBLES Of Married Man"

Troubles of Married Man" will be
presented by local talent at the Opera
House, Saturday night. This pref
ty socisty comedy was lapted from
the French, and has all the dash and go
of pure farce. The stage settings are
bright and pleasing aud the costu ming
pretty.
The play was written to please rather
than to Instruct, aud its chief merit lies
ia the fact that it has no Objectionable
features and the situations are all clever
and highly amusing.
The scenes are all laid iu Paris and the
atmosphere of the play is distinctly
French. Fhe following players appear

keep his chin from trembling. He licked
out his tongue to moisten his lips.

The speaker turned in his chair to where
Fraslin had been but a moment before. The

Monsieur lie Prince, however, was not so
far behind the Austrian! Varenne followed
him. Juggling at his coat, but Cont shook
him off, sprang into his carriage and was
away.

De la Chaise, aristocratic, handsome and
thickwitted, remained alone at the table,
