1t was with q great deal Of joy the
community learned the other day.
that the affairs of the Oregon Smelt-
ing and Refining company has taken
such shape as to insure the early
operation Of the plant. While no
definite statements have been made
rs to the time Of starting, the fact
that the new manager, Mr.. Fuller, and
his superintendent, Mr.. Kirchen, are
here, and the further fact that IL Is
we'll known an ample ore purchasing
fund as been raised are enough to
convince the public that the smelter
will he running at no distant day.
The enterprise has been carried be-
yond the stage OF organization and
promotion, and It has been successfully
demonstrated that the company has
u plant thoroughly adapted to the
reduction of ores which eastern Ore
gon produces. The test run made
last winter proved the plant to be
complete and modern In every re-
spect. In his visit later Mr.. Fuller,
who is a practical and competent
smelter man. pronounced the institu-
tion one Of the best of it's kind In
the country. A great deal of credit
Is due the Killen, Warner. Stewart
and Professor Eberman as or
ganizers and promoters, and DR..
Mueller. as the manager, to the present
stage, when he deemed II advisable
to rssigu In favor of more practical
men.
The Importance Of the instution to
the mineral Industry of eastern Ore.
gon. especially to the mines of the
Immediate vicinity, and to the bus
mess interests of Sumpter, Is scarcely
to be estimated. The starting Of the
plant will produce an awakening
along all lines, and its continuous
operation will do more toward the
of the districts mines
than almost any other one thing.

holds the same office that IL was
u ecessary to coin great quantities Of
gold, In order TO keep the machine

Of gold coined during the first four

NEW LIFEBOAT
Will Stop Itself If Overturnend in
the Waves.
philadelphia Record.)

An AUTOMOBILE lifeboat has been
adopted by the United States Life
Saving Service for use in rescuing
people from the shipwrecked vessels.
1t runs itself, without cars or sails,
and if it happens to capsize the en-
CINE stops of itself instantly. This
point is important. because if it were
otherwise the craft might run away
and leave its crew struggling in the
water, or they may be killed or woun-
ded by the blades of the propeller.
Instead it pauses promptly and the
men are enabled to scramble aboard
again. Like an ordinary lifeboat, the
automobile boat is self-rightinng and
unsuitable.
This new kind of lifeboat has
heavily-weighed keel while at each
end is large air chamber. Through
it may be upset, it is bound to turn
right side up Immediately because of
the weight of the keel and the buoy
ancy of the air in the chambers The
rear chamber contains the engine. run
by gasoline, to which is attached a
propeller.
One of the most vital advantages
of this boat is that the life savers are
brought to the scene of the disaster
fresh and ready for the work of res
cue, whereas with the lifeboats Of
the ordinary type the men often ar
rive on the scene tired and exhausted
after terrible battle with the waves.
Another innovation which is being
experimental with by the life savers
is the use of acetylene for illuminat-
ing the beach during the work of res
cue.

The play has all the features that
got to make good melodrama and
not only is the plot strong. filed with
stirring events, thrilling climaxes and
original comedy, but the scenic in
vestment of the play and the cast
far above the ordinary in merit. For
months the great Pennsylvania coal
strike engrossed the attention of the
people and now that we have a play
dealing with the greatest strike on
record it is but natural to predict
for it unlimited success. Tonight s
engagement promises to be a success
in every particular.

RELIEF TN SIGHT
Hay Fever Toxin is Discovered at

Now that frost has appeared and

doctor has discovered toxin that will
cure the disease. The following dis
patch gives all the information:

Only ten per cent. of the horses we

ton at all. -

HOW ABOUT IT?
Lights at the Table Go Out, But
Guests Can See to Eat.
Iondon Mail.)

The very latest idea in entertaining
halls from Paris and smart Swiss
towns. where the thing now is to en-
terrain your guests, if not entirely il
the dark. at any rate in darkness OF
semi-darkness all the time.
At dinner party the hors d 'oeu-
vers and soup were served as usual III
brilliantly lighted apartment, and
then, to the CONSERVATION of people
who are new to the idea, the light
goes out. Then the door opens and
the servants come carrying brilliant
ly illuminated dishes containing the
fish. al as each guest takes his or her
portion they help themselves to a
light at the same time, and when
every one is served the effect is fairy
like. Suppose the dish contains lob
ster in some form or other, the cleo
trio light SADIE is the shade of the
head of lobster and sheds a delight
ful red glow over the table.
The most ingenuity, however. is
shown when the ices are served. Gen
orally huge bird or beast. basket or
cornucopia made of ice is wheeled in
to the room. blazing with lights and
filled with ices. When each guest is
served the light goes out, and only
those on the plates illuminate the
room. When the strawberry ices are
served the shades take either the
form of the berry itself in crimson or
the pure white blossom These are
given alternately to the guests and
have the prettiest effect.
At big Swiss hotel the ice is serv-
ed in this way every evening. A favor
lite design is a Swiss chalet This is
wheeled in brilliantly illuminated.
/ neach apartment are two lights and
two ices, and when every one is helped
the twinkling lights die away and the
chalet disappears on its invisible
wheeled chair.
Another popular way of serving
the ice is the polar scene Blocks of
glass represent the icebergs and the
electric light is swathed in cookbook
ing glue, while the snow is made of
white cream. Sometimes a few white
china animals are placed in inches in
glass to give greater effect.
