member of the fairer sex: Il bowed
to you on the street two or three

such churlish delinquency. but men

The troubles which are under way in

Oldest City of the World.

No city in the east presents more
charming pictures of oriental life and
color than Damascus; and no other
city contains so many magnificent
private houses, whose shaded courts
and luxurious chambers take us back
in fancy to the enchanted period of
oriental splendor celebrated in the
Arabian Nights" But, however lux
urious the houses, the gardens of
Damascus have, even greater charm,
and they are not only profusely seat
tered throughout the city, but they
stretch for miles around, where the
waters have rescued almost n pro-
vince from the desert. Damascus -
says late writer, has had
a longer continuous existence
than any other city that is
standing in the world today. Over
this garden spot of the desert there
has been eternal conflict. Bloodshed
has been its portion, and century
after century has witnessed battle
without and massacre within its walls -

written, and it is illustrated with a
striking series of photographs.

He Took to a Scow

4 bunch OF fish was taken by Water
Baliff Marshall on the End OF the month
up the river few miles and was
sold to the Lindenberger cold storage
of this city. That much was recorded
NJ the time but the novel method adopt
ed by the patrolman to effect his pur-

baliff had fomerly been tender for the
hunting grounds near Quinn and being
familiar with the territory there he had
been requested TO float the scow used
by the hunters out Of the slough where
II was anchored Il being the intention
OF towing Tito some other point with a
launch. Accordingly on the evening
of the LIST Marshall rowed to the scow
and, boarding 1t, hitched on his boat,
unmoored the fastenings and was soon
on the Columbia. After drifting
short distance down the river the bailiff
noticed two men with d net out and
when he had neared them dropped his
anchor The men, all unsuspecting,
took In their net well filled with good
salmon and went over to Marshall.
They asked him where he was from and
the ballff eplained that he had come
from Portland and was three days on
the way. He said he was out of pro-
visions and asked the men II they
could help him out The kind-hearted
fishermen Immediately offered their
salmon; the balm did not care for sal
mon. he said but being unable to find
mt what the men intended doing with
them wound up by introducing himself
and confiscating all the fish. The fish
ermen were much surprised and told

would contine their attention

transit had now apparently been adop-

time and these were seized by Deputy
Webster and disposed of, Hanson
was brought here for trial and yester-
day in the court of the justice of the

he paid. The net used by Hanson was
a diver and he claimed he was simply
testing 1t and that It was necessary to
do so in the day time and that was
the reason he was caught at that par
ticular time and place accidentally
catching salmon, The testing is done
to see If the net is properly loaded

likely.
