CHASED BURGLARS IN PAJAMAS
Baker City Man and Best Girl, Aided
BY dad" Send Bad Man
Flying.

Mr. SchOllard, a well known and
popular young man and clerk at the
Standard Furniture store, last night
took a five-pound bucket of noodles
and called on Miss Queen Miller,
daughter of Pete Miller, a we'll known
yaung lady of Bakers social circles. In
addition to the noodles Mr.. Scotland
also carried considerable money in
bank notes in his pocket, says the
Baker City Herald. 1t is not known
whether the noodles or the money was
the attraction for a couple of burglars
but anyway the burglars came, set the
household in a panic of excitement, to
say nothing of endangering Mr.. Mil
ler's health by inducing him to search
for the burglars attired in his pajamas
and f1ourishing f1at-iron.
The burglary happened shortly be-
fore-well it was early in the evening.
All the Miller household had retired
excepting Miss Miller who was enter
tanning her company in the parlor.
There was a noise at one of the win
dows and the young man suggested
burglars. Miss Miller secuted the idea
but when there came a determined
noise from the kitchen door Mr.. Schol-
lard was convinced that it was burg
lars and went to investigate. Mr.. Mil
Ter was also aroused and Miss Miller
went into the bedroom where she dis
covered a man crawling into the house
through the window. Mr. Miller did
not wait to dress but Selling the first
available intrument of defense, the
same being a f1atiron, started around
the house to intercept the intruder
who had been frightened from enter
ing the house by Miss Miller. But
Mr. Miller missed his man and the lat
ter made good his escape. Another
man was found hiding in the shadows
near the gate and he also took to
flight.

LESSONS IN ARID FARMING
Possibilities BY Cultivation.

Object lessons in arid farming that
are of absorbing interest can be seen
just now in a drive through the higher
valleys and hill slopes of Washington,
Boise and Canyon counties, says the
Gem State Rural of Caldwell, Idaho.
This is particularly true in Long,
High and Round valleys in Boise coun-
ty; also in Garden valley and the
Sweet and Brownlee district, of the
same county, Grain fields, meadows,
truck gardens small fruit planting,
and even orchards are the refreshing
sights that greet the eyes of those who
journey through those sections of our
state. 1t is not only interesting to
see and think about but the condition
reflects the Importance of this system
of farming to Idaho. 1t means the re-
clamation of thousands upon thousands
of acres of immensely fertile land that
has heretofore been considered of no
greater value than the scant susten-
ance they would afford the range focks
for a portion of the year, and then to
become a parched and barren expanse,
altogether improbable, as we'll as I'M
lovely to look upon. Surely great
changes are in store for the broad
acres of Idaho that are certain to be
brought under this improved system
of soil culture

The Next Quartermaster General.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
Among the important changes which
are to be made in the next few weeks
will be the detail of Major ]. B. Bellin-
ger, of the quartermaster's department.
to duty as depot quartermaster In San
Francisco, and as superintendent OF
the army transport service, in which,
especially, he will succeed Major c. A.
Devol. who has been doing excellent
work in connection with the relief pro-
iect in San Francisco, and now comes
to Washington as a member OF Ihe
general staff. Major Devol has been
persistently spoken of as the next
ouartermaster general of the army,
when there shall be a vacancy In that
important position. 1t is known that
secretary Taft is most favorably In
clined toward Major Devol, and the
fact that that officer was chosen OF
two quartermasters recommended for
detail to the General Staff indicates
that there may be something in the
impression that Major Devol is in line
of ultimate promotion.

grading of II miles of the Elgin ex-
tension, from Elgin to the confux
of the Grand Ronde and wanowa riv-
ers, and has departed for the coast
for a much-needed rest, says the La

tract was small one from a stand
point of mileage, it required practi-
cally a year to complete it, the start
being made September 2, 1905.
Considerable rock work. combined
with the shortage of laborers. retard-
ed the progress of the enterprise.
When Mr. McCabe accepted the
award wages paid men on grading
were s1.75, though the few men he
has been picking up equipment and
getting ready to disband the camps,
force of about so, are receiving
s2.75 a day. During the month of
December there were 600 hands EN-

contractors cut down their expected
profit by many dollars, basing the re-
