new SERVICES ON EAST MAIN
City Getting Ready for Paving of That
Thoroughfare.

Paying for the paving of street in
tersections will not be all the expense
the city will be put to by paving East
Main and East Alder streets. The
water department is finding it neces-
sary to renew every water service in
East Main street from the bridge to
Palouse street and a crew of men has
been set to work taking out the old
pipes and putting in new ones. In all
there will be something like SO to IS
services to renew which will entail
considerable expense. 1t would have
been necessary, however, to renew
many of the services as in some in
stances the pipes have been used con-
tinuously for 25 years. By putting in
new services now it will not be neces-
sary to disturb the pavement for many
years to come.

SONS AFTER GAMBLERS
Converting Of Grand Jury at PendIe.
ton Scatters Green Cloth Men.

A grand jury will convene in Pen
dleton within few days and as a re-
suit gamblers and owners of games are
packing up their belongings and leav-
ing for pastures new. Commenting on
the coming session of the grand jury
and the probable probing for evidence
in gambling cases that will be made
the East Oregonian last night, editor
tally says:
About Is Pendleton gamblers have
urgent business out of town this week
and consequently nope to escape pros
ecution by being absent during the
sessions of the grand jury. This
should not mislead any one who has
evidence to present before the grand
jury as an indictment can be secured
against an absent citizen as against
one present and the case can be
brought to trial whenever the absent
one returns. This matter is no boys
play. The people who have under
taken to crush out gambling have not
ceased their vigilance nor relaxed their
determination because the gamblers
are leaving town. They have broken
the law, and evidence can be secured
to prove it and the thing to do is to
present the evidence and see that the
cases are prosecuted 1t is said that
all that is lacking to secure vigorous
prosecution is evidence; now let the
evidence be presented and see about
the prosecution.

OPEN RIVER TRAN SPORTATION
COMPANY TAKES STEPS TO
BUILD A FLEET.
and Other PIaees-Mountain Gem
to Make Regular Trips.

Stock subscriptions are being taken
portation company, corporation re-
Gently formed in that city and which
is composed of men from Portland and
outside points where direct benefit is
expected to be derived from the Port
age road and a steamboat line on the
upper Columbia and Snake rivers. A
meeting of those interested was held
yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce
and plans are well under way for the
Inauguration of the enterprise, which
is to result in providing transportation
facilities from Portland to lewiston
by water to The Dalles and from there
to Cello on the Portage road, thence
by boat to the head of navigation
thus forming feeders for the enterprise
formally launched Saturday, which
gives promise of opening an immense
country which for years mas been prac-
tically isolated from the metropolis and
a coast shipping point.
The incorporators of the company
win build several steamers. 1t has
been stated positively that none of the
craft would be purchased, and the idea
is to construct the fleet with a view to
making the vessels of light draft and
with sufficient strength and durability
to withstand the hard usage they will
be put to in navigating the Snake and
Columbia. The details of the plans
formed were not given out, and no act

ner in which subscriptions were being
taken, it is not doubted the project has
been inaugurated with a rush that
warrants the assertion the frames of
the steamers will be under way shortly.
Portland steamboat magnates direct
ed their weather optic on the upper
river just as soon as it was positively
known the state would build the Port
age road, but about that time it was
learned the Open River Transportation
company was being formed, and those
who thought of placing their steamers
on the route are now watching the new
corporation. The steamer Mountain
trade and to replace the Inflated I'm
naha, will be operated regularly on
the river, making through trips from
Lewiston, but it is realized one craft
is not enough to care for the business

sick, the old doctor, who acted as medical at
tendant for the entire settlement, was called,
and prescribed some horribly-tasting liquid
which he positively declared would make the
boy well right away.
Of course the lad did not take the medicine
but every night, as soon as it got quiet, he
went up to the village, and coming down on
the other side, hid in the alders, where he
would have an excellent view of the lumber
pile.
The nights were moOnless and usually
cloudy Still, nothing was disturbed for more
than two weeks. Jack, however, did not get
discouraged, being confident his efforts would
yet prove successful.
According to his calculation, the thief must
be acquainted with the establishment, and,
seeing another boy on the railroad, at once
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-24

On the second night. while our youthful de-
tectiye occupied his concealment, directly
across the stream from the lumber pile and
about one hundred yards distant, as he lay in
such position that the lofty structure was
dImly outlined against the darkened sky, he
observed that one corner seemed to very grad
ually assume new aspect.
While the opposite extremity looked like a
square shadow this end became more and
more rounded, until there could be no doubt
the boards were coming down. But through
the almost total darkness, how it was being
done remained invisible.
1t was turning out just as Jack expected 4;
and cautiously leaving his hiding place, he
ing behind the alders and walking without any
noise, until he reached space of smooth, deep

he succeeded in detecting the marauder.
Each bank of the river, for number of
miles below the Mathews mills, is covered by
dense growth of alders. and the adjacent
country is SO rocky that nothing thriyes ex-
cept tangled bushes and few stunted ever
greens.
A report being started that Jack had fallen
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-24

Before the adventure / am going
to describe, which occurred two
years since, he worked in one of the gang saw
mills, so numerous along the rivers of this
great lumberproducing country.
In these establishments, after the upright
saws pass through the logs and divide them
into strips of the required thickness, rapidly
turning circular saw is employed to remove
the rough edges, the best portions OF which
are saved for fuel, and the remainder burned
to get it out of the way.
As it would not do to have large fire near
a building filed with highly-infammable mate
rial, a railroad is constructed, on an IRON
framework, running some distance generally
TO the river-shore. where mammoth stone
fireplace receives the waste wood (which Is
pushed out on hand-car.
Jack acted as conductor of this conveyance,
and his employer, Mr. Mathews, had a very
high opinion of his ability ard willing dis
position.
One morning this gentleman noticed that
several boards appeared to be missing from
a lot piled on a wharf, awaiting their turn
to be hoated down the stream in RATS
He Immediately set about trying to detect
the thief, and carefully examined every sus-
picious person in the mill settlement. Each
spot near by where property could be conceal
ed was also thoroughly searched; but no traces
Of the missing lumber appeared, and Mr. Ma
thews had almost concluded he must have
counted wrong, when, in less than week, an
other lot disappeared.
This time so many were taken there could
be no mistake, and, as it seemed to be the
work of skillful robber, detective was sent
for, who came in response to an advertise
ment for help, and took his place in the mill
so much like any common laborer that none
Of the hands suspected his real character
The thief, however, was sharp enough to
see through this ruse, and though the otheer
used every means in his power to discover him,
nothing could be found out, and not a board
was taken while he remained.
At last, the detective agreed with MIR. Ma
thews in concluding that the culprit must
have left the country altogether, and turned his
attention to rascals in other quarters.
But the detective had only been gone few
days when the big pile received another noe
turnal visit. This time several hundred feet
of nice boards were removed in such manner
that it seemed they must have taken legs or
wings and gone away Of their own accord.
The mill owner was almost in despair. Some
body could take his lumber with impunity,
and he had almost made up his mind to have
a Eatchman on each pile every dark night,
out his carload of edgings, thought he noticed
how the stealing might 60 on without attract
ing the attention of any one
When the lad communicated his plan to Mr..
Mathews, the latter declared it appeared so
plain he wondered he had not thought of it
himself
As Jack had peculiarly keen sight. his en-
ployer agreed to let him sleep in the daytime
for while and keep guard after dark, prom

concluded the French lad was acting as watch
man.
So our hero let it appear that the ancient
physician had wrought another cure, and be-
gan working both night and day; that is, he
ran his car as usual, to make the thief think
the watching had been abandoned, and in the
evening quietly went to his ambush and await
ed Developments
