The steamship Roanoke arrived in
port last night at o'clock from Los An
geles, San Francisco and Eureka with
Ill passengers in her cabins and big
manifest of freight. She was at tht
Calender dock for an hour or more and
then left up for the metropolis. 1t is
to be hoped she wont get lost on the
way and have the marine reporter of
the Oregonian telephoning queries to
Astoria for news of her, while she is
lying sung at her dock in Portland, as
he did in the case of the F. A. Kilburn

SUPERVISORS WILL
 MEET TUESDAY NEXT
Purpose Is To HdStGD Action On Douglas School
 District Bonds

Chairman !. J. Bowen of the Board of Supervisors announced yesterday that a meeting of the board will be held Tuesday evening for the purpose of confirming the sale of the Douglas school district bonds.
 When the bonds were presented to the Supervisors some time ago a tech nicality was found that brought about their being rejected but with instruc- Jicns to make the change and they would be satisfactory.
 Assistant District Attorney E. J. Flanigan yesterday completed an in- spection of the bonds. and turned them over 10 Chairman Bowen, who at once telephoned to Clerk Howe of the board to notify the other mem
 bers that he had called a meeting for
 Tuesday evening.
 The bond issue amounts to S40,00O, having been voted at a recent cleo ton. Douglas people are anxious to get the money in order to make im- prOyements in the school system of
 that city. Several number of builG- ings are contemplated as well as large
 additions to these already in use. Whether or not the board will take
 up the Lowell incorporation matter is
 not known. Two petitions. asking for
 incorporation, have been presented to
 the board for its action.
 Clerk Howe is reported to have compared the list of signers to the
 incorporation petition with the list of
 taxpayers in the Lowell section. He
 has found that but thirty-fve of the .l55 signers are taxpayers.

MEXICAN EORGER
 GOES 10 JAIL
OfdunO Bound Over 10 Grand Jufy-Tfied To Blk
 His Friends

In Justice Murphy's court yester- day morning, Orduno, the Mexican who was charged with forging the name of Albert Paul for two checks of $16 each, was bound over to await sum Of $500 bond. He was unable to furnish the bond and Sheriff Hunt took him to Tombstone last night, where he will be held until the grand jury takes action on his case.
 The three Mexicans who were held as accomplices in the forgery appear ed and swore that Orduno had worked the checks of on them as genuine. One swore that Orduno bought an ac- cordeon of him and gave the S16 check in payment The check was for more than the price asked for the accordeon, and Orduno stated that be would return the next day and get the change. which he did not do.
 Jesus Gardenas the chief witness against OrdunO. testified that the de- fendant had bought a guitar from him and gave him a check on Albert Paul for SIG. The check was larger than the amount asked for the instru- ment, and Orduno stated he would re turn the next day and get his change. He did not show up. It was learned afterawrds that Orduno had taken the two instruments and sold them for SS.
 GaTdenas is being held in jail as a witness against Orduno, although the charges against him and the other two Mexicans were dismissed. His friends are trying to secure a s1OO appearance bond for him.

SPIDER EATS BIRDS.
South American Tropic Forests the
Home of Insect with Re-
markable Appetite.

There has just been deposited in the
insect house at the London ZOO
specimen of the bird-eating spider
which earns its name by occasionally
including in its menu some of the
brilliantly hued humming- birds and
varicolored tinches of the South Amer
lean tropics.
1t is doubtful whether the silken
threads which he spins in profusion
constitute his most effective tackle for
securing his prey; indeed, it is more
probable that the little birds get
caught through alightng upon the
banana and other leaves. in the twist
ed folds of which the spider makes
his home, The similarity of his color
ing to the bark of trees, to which he
attaches himself, is also powerful
factor in enabling him to approach his
prey.

them, of course about her father-Mr Roosevelt

talked about as bride but she is not too young
to be talked about debutante, though she
is younger than debutantcs usually are. Miss
Ethel is likely to be the bright particular debu
