FIND NO TRACE OF HENRY G0ER
Man Lost Near CIatskami, Ore,
Last Week.

CLATSKANIE, Ore, Nov. 10
Sheriff White has arrived in Clatskanie
after a diligent search for Henry Goer,
who was lost on Nehalem ridge, be-
tween Clatskanie and Mist. Sheriff
White and a party of 40 men searched
two days. They worked by compass,
40 abreast, over all the neighborhood
but not a trace of him could be found.
The sheriff found in Goer's coat at
Dippold's, where he stayed the night
previous to his being lost, two letters,
one from Goer's brother in Germany,
where he expected to go next year
and one from a banker at Fairfield
Iowa, concerning a loan which GOer
had made to a man named Bailey. 1t
was quite a large loan, for the banker
spoke of Bailey's paying somewhere
between 5000 and $500 interest in two
years.
The sheriff has given up the search
saying he has done all he can do, un-
less some of the people where Goel
| has been for some time wish to con-
tinue the search.
Some of the people think Goer has
been dealt with foully.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
Thought He Saw Double.

ThOught He Saw Double.
A worthy professor was invited to
dine at the house of lady Of fashion.
The day was hot, the wine cool, the
professors thirst great, and the fair
neighbor with whom the professor was
engaged in a lively conversation filed
his glass as often as it was emptied.
b When the company rose from the Ia
BILE the professor noticed, to his great
CONSERVATION, that he was unsteady
on his feet.
In his anxiety to save appearances he
repaired to the drawing room, where
the lady of the house yielded to the
wishes of her lady friends and ordered
the nurse to bring in the baby twins.
The pair were lying together on a
pillow, and the nurse presented them
for inspection to the person nearest the
door, who happened to be the professor.
The latter gazed intently at them for
awhile, as if deciding whether or not
there were two, or one, and then said
somewhat huskily:
Really, what bonny little child!'-

ATTORNEY eoDWIM SOUNDS WARAINe

PENDLETON, Nov. &c. T. God
win, the attorney of Milton, who has
been in the city on circuit court busi-
ness, stated that not a great amount
Of damage was done by the recent high
waters in the Walla Walla river around
and at Milton, nor was the river as
high as it was at the time Of the heavy
rains of last June.
About the only damage done in Mil
ton was the destruction of the ap-
proach to the bridge over the middle
fork of the Walla Walla river. This
approach was washed out last June
and was repaired at the expense to
the city of about $500, a portion of
which was paid by the county. This
expense will have to be met with
again, and it is probable that the new
approach will be partly built Of cement.
One of the results Of the high water
in the Tumalum river Immediately be-
low Milton, was that large quantities
Of rocks, dirt and debris were
washed down by the swift waters,
filling the river channel almost to the
level of the banks. The stream was
therefore spread out considerably, and
had the water been much higher, the
damage to gardens and small fruit
farms would have been extensive.
Must Dyke River.
People residing along this river
were given a taste Of the work done
last June by reason of the high waters
and now that the channel has been
filled up to a much greater extent by
the recent swollen river, measures are
being agitated for securing protection
in the future. It is conceded that in
the course of time dykes will have to
be built along the Tumalum to retain
the water in it's natural channel, but
as this plan will mean a great cost to
the owners Of property there, it is a
matter that will demand assistance
from the county, and perhaps from
the state. 1t is probable that the
property owners will get together some
time soon for the purpose of consider
ing plans for the proposed dyking sys-
tenn,

THE BLANEY TWINS HAPPY.
Set Fire to Jail and Shout With GIee
Over Their Success.

SOMERVILLE, N. j., Nov. 49,
The Blaney twins were born bad
Their grandfather was hanged for muir
der, and their father, who died few
months before they were born, was
also very bad man; at least that is
the story told to Justice Kitchen by
Mrs. Blaney, their mother. They are
colored. This morning they attempted
to burn down the Somerset county Jail
by sprinkling live Goals over a number
of beds in the cell room of the juve-
nile department Of the Jail, where they
are confined on a charge of larceny
The beds blazed up and the diminutive
ten-year- twins poked their little
black heads between the bars of the
corridor windows and shouted "Fire!
and "Murder!"'
The twins had yelled in the same
manner before and old Billy, the jailer
who had been fooled SO often, paid nc
attention to their cries this time. II
was not until he took a turn outside
and saw smoke pouring from the win
dows in the second story of the jail
that he realized that the twins were
not fooling. When he rushed to the
cell room it was so full Of smoke
that he could not see the twins. but
the pair heard the door open and
they hurried out. The smoke spread
through the Jail building and caused
much alarm among the prisoners, blu,
the fire was soon put out.

0 DEVELOP LOCOMOTIVES
Plant Where Largest Engines Can be
Run at Full Speed Indoors-Even '
the Sparks Weighed.

ALTOONA, Penn, Nov. 19.-All the
conditions of a 1000 mile run by a
locomotive pulling a heavy train can
be duplicated in the huge indoor en-
gne-trial plant which the PennSylva-
MIA railroad has just completed here.
By the arrangement of the testing ap-
paratus the largest engines can be
run at the top speed without travelling
an inch. The great advantage is that
constant results are obtainable and
that these results can be measured
and tabulated with far greater exact
ness than is possible in road trials.
The amount of fuel consumed, the
steam evaporation, even the weight of
the cinders and sparks that go up the
smokestack, the friction of the yari-
Gus parts-these are only a few of the
elements of locomotive performance
udl are dSCerCdlneO at the IoSIluS
plant Although this plant involved
considerable expense, officials of the
motive power department say that the
value of the results obtainable with 1t
Tar exceed the cost of the venture.
Nine locomotives of. different types
not in regular use on the Pennsylvania

poses. One of them is a French engine
