MILTON CITIZEN WILL MAKE AN
INVESTIGATION IN CROOK
COUNTY.
Wonderful Cave Said to Exist In Many
PIaees-One Opening Has
Been Explored.

w. S. Mayberry, of Milton, who is
now principal of the public school at
Antelope, Wasco county, expects to
visit the caves of Crook county, Ore
gon. this summer. on an exploring
trip. Mr.. Mayberry spend two years
in that portion of the state some years
ago, and while there visited the lava
beds and caves on the Des Chutes
river and will return to more fully
examine this wonderful region which
has been explored but specifically
says the East Oregonian.
At places in the lava formation on
the Des Chutes, holes are found in
the surface of the ground which lead
to subterranean caverns of unknown
depth and in many places water can
be heard running underneath the
floors of the caverns on a still lower
chamber. The caves vary in height
and width. In some places it is neces-
sary to crawl through the small OPEN
ing between the dark chambers, and
in other places the caves widen out
into spacious rooms, filled to over
flowing with bats and reptiles.
1t is said that one of these under
ground chambers has been explored
for a distance of over a mile with no
ovid Of fnr1 Of
derful suites of subterranean rooms.
The formation is lava and the caves
open into side chambers and smaller
rooms innumerable. At places open
ings are found reaching out to the
surface at varying depths and the en-
tire country is undertake with sys-
tenn o fthese lava caves.
The principal opening by which the
caves are entered is at a place on the
Des Chutes river, where a round hole
has been formed in the surface of the
ground, by a section of the earth's
crust about 80 feet in diameter sinking
to a depth of 80 feet forming a circu-
lar hole 80 feet across and 80 feet
deep, from which the cave opens and
by which exploring parties enter.
/. Mr.. Mayberry will take a compan-
ion with him and make a complete
exploration of the caves this spring,
if possible 1t is thought that a won
derful system of underground caverns
may be discovered adding new and
thrilling attraction to Oregon's thou
sand wonders.

No Irish Suicides.

"The Irish,' said statistician, do
not commit suicide. Practically never,
1 mean. That is to say, where you
hear of ninety suicides of Germasn,
Russians, Italians, Frenchmen and
Americans, you won't hear of more
than one Irish suicide, and maybe you
won't hear even of that
1.-The Irish are a hopeful and brave
people. In the most heartrending dis
tress they keep up their spirits, laugh
ing, joking, declaring that better times
will come soon. In Ireland suicide is
an unknown evil.
I'm the indomitable pluck, gaiety
and optimism of the Irish, there is a
lesson for us all to learn"

SLEW HIS OWN DAUGHTER.
Tragedy of Brigandage in a Small
Dalmatian Village.

Tragedy of Brigandaxe in a Small
Dalmatian Village.
How many times has the theme Of the
following story been used by roman.
cists? In the village of Knin, IN the
district OF lara, Dalmatla, lived a
peasant by the name Of Valentisch. Not
long ago, accompanied by his daughter,
he drove pair Of oxen to a neighboring
market and sold them for $50 gulden.
He gave the money to his daughter to
carry. On their way home he was at
tackled by two robbers, who killed him
in the hope of getting the money. In
the meantime the daughter, panic
stricken, had run away. She reached
hut and sank exhausted at the door,
\ woman took her in and, hearing her
story. insisted on her staying the night
there, as the mountains were very up-
safe.
An hour later two men appeared
the murderers, as it turned out, and
one Of them the husband of the hostess.
The girl did not recognize them and
gladly accepted their offer of hospitality
and aid. When they learned that she
had the money they determined to kill
her also. They sent her to bed with the
daughter Of the house. particularly in,
s.ructing the latter to sleep on the left
SIDE Of the bed. Later in the night the
two men came into the room and stran!
eIed the girl that lay on the right side
OF the bed. AS 1t happened. It was not
the intended victim that was killed.
but the girl that was with her.
The guest had got up in the night to
get drink Of water and the other girl.
in her sleep, rolled over to the right
side of the bed. thus unconsci0usly saw
ing the life Of the guest at the expense
OF her own. The half-crazed witness
Of the crime managed to escape while
tae murderers were taking away the
ody Of the dead girl and reached a
keighboring village in safety. She
aroused the police and they got to the
hut just as the chief robber was firing
4 kiln to burn the body Of his daugh-
ter, and it was not until then that he
learned what he had done.-New York

IRONING OLD.

Old-we are growing old;
Going on through beautiful road.
Finding earth a more blessed abode;
Nober work by our hands to be
wrought.
Freer paths for our hope and our
thought.
Because of the beauty the years unfold,
We are checrfully growing old.
Old-we are growing old;
Going up where the sunshine is clear;
Watching grander horizons appear
Out of clouds that enveloped our
youth:
Standing firm on the mountains of
truth:
Because Of the glory the years unfold,
We are joyfully growing old.
Old-we are growing old;
Going in to the garden of rest
That glow through the gold of the
West,
Where the rose aud amaranth blend,
And each path is the way to friend {,
Because of the peace that the years I'M
fold.
We are thankfully growing old.
Old-are we growing old!
Life blooms as we travel on
Up the hills, into fresh, lovely dawn:
We are children. who do but begin
The sweetness of living to win:
Because heaven is in us, to bud and un-
fold,
We are younger, for growing oil
