DOES NOT Live IN FIRE.
Popular Idea About the SaIamander

Popular Idea About the SaIamander
Is FaIlacious.
Now that Spontaneous generation"
has exchanged the realm Of supersti-
ton for that of fact, an older theory
about it becomes interesting. In An
drews' Anecdotes Ancient and Mod
ern' (1789), one reads: Should a
glass house fire be kept up, without
extinction for longer term than sew
en- years, there is no doubt. that sala-
mander would be generated in the Gin
ders." This probably accounts for the
popular idea that a salamander lives
in the fire, fallacy so far removed
from the truth that the curious lizard
like beast SO called cannot endure
even the heat of the sun, but skulks
away under stones to avoid it. 1t will
never lose its reputation for fire-eat-
ing, though, which fingers still in the
heating utensil that is named after it.

iIun1or in His "RuIcs and Directions
for Servants"
There was a servant problem when
Dean Swift was alive just as there is
to-day, and he died in LAS. N his
''RuIes aid Directions fer Servants"
he wrote: when you have broken
all your earthen vessels below stairs
which is usually done in q week
the copper got will do as WE'LL it can
boil milk, heat porridge, hold small
beer; apply it indifferently to all these
uses, but never wash or scour it"
And again: eff you want paper to
SINCE fowl, tear the first book you
see about the house. Wipe your shoes
for want of clout, on the bottom of
a curtain or a damaSk napkin SIN
roasting or boiling" he goes on, ''use
none but the large Goals and save
the small ones for the fires above
stairs" Another touch that might
have been written to-day is the follow
ing: when a butler cleans the plate
leave the whiting plainly to be seen in
all the chinks, for fear your lady
should not believe you had cleaned
it." Once more: There are several
ways of putting out a candle; you
may run the candle end against the
wainscot, which puts the snuff out i'm
mediately; you may lay it on the
ground and tread the snuff out with
your foot; you may hold it upside
down until it is choked in it's own
grease, or cram it into the socket Of
the candlestick; you may whirl it
round in your hand till it goes out :"

UMAIILLA PROJECT
Engineer Henry Believed to Favor
Plan Without DISTINCTIONS.

According to Engineer D. c. Henry,
who has charge of the reclamation
work in the northwest, the report on
the east Umatillt project was sent
to the department last Saturday. He
refused to divulge the nature of the
report, but said it would be given
out from Washington during the week.
However, it is believed favorable
consideration was given the project,
and that it will be taken up in the
spring, unless the Malheur project
should get into such shape that it
could be taken up first. The latter
is much the larger undertaking, but
has been blocked through alleged fail
ure of the military road company to
sign up with the government.
The Umatilla project covers from
$4,000 to $4,000 acres, according to the
plan that is adopted.

WAlLA WAllAN GETS A SEN
TENCE OF ONE YEAR IN
OREGON PRISON.
Freewater "Clubmen" Seeking Petition
From Citizens to Save Paying Fine
in UmatiIIa County.

Jack Shaffer, ex-baker for Charles
Rohrman, and who robbed his en-
players store several weeks ago, was
given an inreterminate sentence in the
penitentiary by Judge Ellis yester-
day afternoon, says the East Oregon
ian. Consequently, under the law he
will nave one year to serve, that be-
ing the minimum for larceny from a
store, and he will stay there that
long unless pardoned out before the
expiration of his term. Shaffer's plea
was that he had lost money at gam
bling just previous to the crime and
that he was thereby made desperate
and robbed his employer while in that
condition.
Ireland and Kelly, the Freewater
"clubmen," also appeared before
Judge Ellis yesterday afternoon to
answer to indictments against them
by District Attorney Phelps How
ever, they asked for a few days time
before sentence was imposed upon
them, and this was granted.
In the meantime it is said to be
the intention of Ireland and Kelly
to secure a petition from Freewater
people asking that the execution of
their sentences be suspended on con-
dition that they do not engage in their
work any more. Should such be done,
it is possible that a heavy fine and
also a Jail sentence may be given
the two men so as to make it an in
ducement for them to remain out of
the business.
