CARPET STOLEN.
Belonged to Winter & Collier of As
sociation Building.

H. E. Collier, of the firm of Winter
& Collier. has been busily engaged to-
day as a detective, the object of his
quest being two rolls of carpet which
adorned the firms law offices in the
Association building.
The mystery of the carpets disap-
pearance is a deep one and when the
same is fathomed tale of daring
theft or deviltry will doubtless be un-
folded.
Messrs, Winter G. Collier are now
engaged in moving their offices from
the former quarters in the Association
block to the suite of rooms recently
vacated by the White Dental parlors
Whole doing so they had two colored
men engaged to help, and to clean
the carpet. The latter was taken
down the back stairs, cleaned and
rolled up ready to be taken back tC
the new office rooms.
But when the negro was to bring
the carpet up stairs this morning both
rolls were found to be missing, and
no tell-tale clues were left to aid in
finding the stolen goods. The chase
was at once taken up by Mr.. Collier
and while he is hopeful of getting his
lost property, the carpet had not been
returned up to a late hour this after
noon.

ONE on THE IDAHO SHERIFF,
Leaves His Prisoner and is Sidetraclled
at UmatiIia.

On the early train which pulled
into The Dalles this morning, says the
Chronicle, was handcuffed man, who
though a prisoner and on his way to
the penitentiary, was minus the neces-
sary guard. The train had no sooner
stopped, however, than Deputy Sher-
iff Wood stepped on board, secured
the man and took him to the county
Jail, where he was held until the east
bound train came along at noon
when Wood started for Boise, Idaho,
with the fellow.
The joke is on the sheriff of La
tab county, who was conveying a man
who had been given a five-year sem
tence for horse stealing, from Moscow
to the penitentiary at Boise. Putting
one one of the handouts he attached
the other to the seat and leaving the
prisoner in the smoking car, went
back to the Pullman to take snooze.
When the train reached Umatilla the
sleeper was sidetracked, but the
smoker came on.
What then must have been the Of
ficer's dismay to wake up and find
that he was sidetracked and that his
prisoner had gone down the line
He Immediately telegraphed to the
sheriff at this place to look out for
the prisoner, with the result as stated
The prisoner seemed to enjoy the joke
and laughed heartily as he was taken
to the Wasco county Jail.

Value of Irrigation.

A year ago the government recla-
nation service had under construc-
ton irrigation projects involving the
expenditure of $30,000,000 and the
reclamation of 100000 acres of
land. The expenditure of this amount
of money will result in creating land
values in excess of sS7,000,000, and
the lands reclaimed will produce an
annual crop of the value of $4,000
900, or nearly sufficient to pay the
sum advanced by the government
every year. This is one of the argu-
ments which will he used by the ad-
vocates of the proposition of asking
the government for an addition to the
fund of s100,0O0,OOO for reclamation.
The National Irrigation congress,
which meets at Boise Septembre 8 to
s. will have no more important issue
than this one.

they could not have been convicted : that
their Influence could have paralyzed the

had been convicted 1t was certain that
they would have been pardoned, but no ;:
that II convicted their friends would
have rescued them between conviction and
