ASSISTANT CASHIER BAGLEY.

By referring to the advertisement of the
Alma State Savings Bank, our readers
will notice that the list of officials has
been enlarged by the addition of the
name of Lucius Bagley who has been
elected to the Office of assistant cashier.
Another noteworthy change is the in

Sealing Schooner Which Arrived 1t
 Victoria Last Night Brought News.

Victoria Last Night Brought News.
 Victoria. B. O.. Sept 2S.-The sealing schooner City of San Diego, first of the fleet from Behring sea to report. arrived last night. bringing news of several more raids made by Japanese sealing schooners, armed with quick-firing guns. in Copper and Boring Islands. Those rookeries are leased by an American company from the Russian government, which has guards on the island. Hunters of Japanese schOoners who boarded the City of San Diego in Boring sea re- ported that number of Japanese schOoners had made raids at Copper Island, two beng armed with gatling guns with which they bombarded the huts of the guards on the island be- fore landing.
 During the past summer 1t was es- timated that at least twenty Japan ese were killed and none know how many Russians had been shot,. The captain of one of the Japanese schoo- ners was among the killed, having been shot trough the head by the rOokery guards. The City of San Diego reported seeing about twenty five Japanese schooners in Boring sea. They were clustered close about the islands and shooting right and left, consequently the Victoria schoo- ners were obliged to remain sixty miles outside the islands and had a poor season. Despite this, however, some good catches were reported, the highest being those of the Umbriano, Casco and Evamari, each of which took over TOO.

Want U. s. Commissioners.

New York. Sept 2s.-Nicolas Ri vero, proprietor and editor of E Diardo De Ia Marina. the oldest pa per in Cuba, said last night that he did not think anything of importance would be accomplished at the meet ing of congress to-day in Havana. Ii the Moderates attend they would be in the majority. They would appoint a man to follow Palma, and the lib erals would reject him. No matter how they arranged matters, the coun. try would not be settled until a per manent United States commissioner was appointed by President Roose welt. The cubans would like to see General Wood sent to the island. The sight of the stars and stripes floating from one of the public government offices In Havana, Senor Rivero said would serve to keep the turbulent spirits in check.

CARS WEE SMASHED TO sPLINTERs

PENDLETON, Dec. s.-Two car
loads Of sheep and a carload of mer-
cnandise were wrecked by a collision
In the O. r. & N. yards in this city
at 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
The sheep cars were totally wrecked
and the sheep escaped and ran Wild
over all parts of the city. The mer-
chandise car was not entirely wreck
ed and will be saved after the mer-
chandise is transferred to another car.
Freight train No. 55, westbound ar
rived in the city at 8 a. m. and hay
ing some switching to do in the west
end of the yards, stopped the train at
the east end of the yards, and cutting
off the engine the train crew went to
the west yards and We're working
there when the train which they had
left at the Thompson street crossing
came down the track and cursncd
into the cars which were attached to
the engine, demolishing the cars Of
sheep, killing a large number Of the
animals and releasing the remainder
by bursting open the sides of the cars.
The carload of merchandise was
not badly damaged, the end of the
car being smashed in. This car was
later turned over upon its side at one
side of the track to clear the main line
for No. 6, the eastbound passenger
which was due after the collision took
place.
At 9 o'clock the steam crane and
wrecker arrived from La Grande in
charge of Foreman ]. H. aWtson and
soon cleared up the wreck. The two
stock cars were practically a tota,

splinters by the force of the collision
This car was burned at the side of the
track.
The train contained about IS cars
and the impact of the collision was
terrific. The cars of sheep were
crushed like eggshells and the ami
mails were mangled in horrible man.
ner. The sheep were consigned from
Twin Falls, Idaho, to the Union
stock yards at Portland.

man secured 120 carcasses Of the
nangled and dead sheep and took the
pelts from them today.

Smithsonian Institute Employs The
New Machine.
EXPERIMENT SHOWS 10000 REC.
oRDs REPRODUCED WITH
NO CHANGE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. SIN
dian languages are SO rapidly dis
appearing that the Smithsonian insti-
tuition has undertaken to make a Sc
ries of talking machine records of the
dialects, songs and musical chants of
the American aborigines. Although
the photograph has not proven entire
ly satisfactory for this purpose, be-
cause it's reproductions were too me-
chanical and the record cylinders so
perishable, a large number of records
have been made by this means.
1t has now been found that perfect
records may be secured by means Of
a new device known as the telegraph
one. The records for this machine,
which is designed primarily for cor
respondence dictation and to take
down conversation over the telephone
are made by magnetic impressions on
steel wire or disk. These are prac-
tically indestructible.
1t is said that the records made by
the telegraphone are so perfect that
they can hardly be distinguished from
the original voice. Once a record is
made it can be transferred any num-
Der of times, and these duplicate rec
ords will reproduce perfectly, while
one photograph record can not be
made from another successfully. One
telegraphone has already reproduced
over forty thousand times a record
which shows no signs Of having lost
any of it's original strength and clear
ness.
Scientists and philologists are there
egraphone as a means of preserving
the only records that will exist in
the future of characteristic dialects,
which are gradually disappearing.

studies was due to dissipation, rather
than lack of brains. j. M. Estep, son
of councilman, testified:
Il am here against my will, sum-
moned by the state. Sidney Sloane was
my friend and 1 have tried to believe
he was insane, but have been unable
to recall one single insane act"
Many other playmates and class
mates testified to the boys sanity and
showed that dissipation and degener-
acy were the chief causes of his fail
ure in studies. The defendant was
really on trial today, father and moth
er being left out of the testimony.
Charley Riemer, classmate, testified
that Sidney came to the high school
with bloodshot eyes and
breath tainted with liquor, and adj
mitted he was ''out" the night before.
