Milton, Jan. 30.-The olinger
brothers, who have been in the lum-

of here, have leased the Brown mill
and installed a ripping, edging and
planning mill in connection with their
lumber yard in Milton.
The lumber will be sawn in the
mountains and dressed here, instead
OF there. The reason for this is cheap
er power. The cost of hauling rough
and dressed lumber from there is the
same. Then the shavings will be util-
lied here, while there they are burn

lumber. they will be able to do all

Insane Housebreaker.
Cries of Let me in; let me in,"
together with violent shaking of
the front door of the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Ferdinand Kraft, awoke
them about 1 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. Mr.. Kraft is known for his hos
pitality, but could not understand the
eagerness and impatience that his
company seemed to show. Mr.. Kraft
quickly arose and asked the party
on the outside what he wanted He
replied THE burglars are after me;
let me in. let me in" Mr.. Kraft
says that he didn't really want him
in, but as the intruder insisted. and
as he supplemented his request for
admittance with shoulder to the
door. he saw that it was but a ques-
tiOn of a few minutes till he would
be on the inside. So he opened the
door but instead of welcoming his
guest with open arms, he grabbed
him by the back of the neck and
kicked him out And then the dog
was set upon him and he made q hur-
ried exit. Mr.. Kraft has promised
his wife TO secure at the first oppor-
tunlty. a gatling gun to combat the
strenuous life of Echo.
After the unknown had left with
this unceremonious reception still
haunting him, he wandered down to-
ward the river. and realizing that
Sunday morning he ought to appear
at his best entered Mr.. Gilbert's
home. He was not satisfied to pass
through the front door as common
people do, but started to work his
way up from the cellar. The first in
timation that Mr. Gilbert had that
business was TO be brisk was when
he and his wife were awakened by a
noise in the cellar.
At first they thought 1t was the
dog. but after they had listened a
while, they came to the conclusion
that it was human being. The in
habitant of the cellar heard them
moving in the room above. and cried
out: Let me out of here; let me out
of here" Mr.. Gilbert did not insist
on his remaining. and called back
that he would soon have him out.
The plan of campaign was the
next consideration. Mr. Gilbert sug-
gested that he go for the marshal.
but Mrs. Gilbert did not like the idea
of staying alone. so she went for the
marshal. After some time, she was
successful in arousing the marshal.
and with volunteers, they gathered
about the house. Gentle persuasion
was tried but to no avail to get the
stranger to come forth. Finally.
when assurance was given him that
no harm would come to him, he
came out of the cellar. The hand
cuffs were attached to him. and he
was prevailed upon to spend the rest
of the night in the city lookup. In
the morning he was questioned. and
1t was learned that he got off the
morning train which passes through
Echo. at 340 a. m. His home is in
Portland where he has a brother in
a meat market on Third street. He
gave him name as Fred Jones, and
from papers found in his pocket this
is probably his correct name. The
man is demented, and seems to be
laboring under the delusion that rob-
bers are after him.
That he went through the escap-
ades that he did without meeting
violence is to be wondered at. That
he was not shot at while trying to

The Widows Mark.

One of fashions latest crimps is for
young widows to wear white strings
with their mourning bonnets. Used
with fine discrimination this could
be made an interesting feature. Let
the white strings designate the
young widow who has no intention of
retiring permanently from the matri-
monial mart. Then blue would do for
the widow who now looks coldly on
Cupid. but may warm up bit later
on. No strings at all could mark one
determined to retain her widowhood.
And dainty woven strings of grass
in fact, this bonnet-string idea could
be worked to cover all sorts and con
ditions of widows.
