Each copy contains 1920 pages, 21,--
535 illustrations of 79,137 different
items, and weighs 20 pounds, the entire
edition weighing more than $50 tons.
1t required 10 carloads of paper, 1871
tons of tar board for binding and 58,-
900 square feet of binding cloth to make
up this catalogue, in which the printing
presses have deposited Ia tons of ink
in printing
Not only does this vast catalogue
eclipse anything ever before attempted
in point of magnitude, but it represents
perfection in every detail. The f1ve-
colored productions of Keen Kuttsr
goods are beautiful in appearance ana
perfect in detail, illustrations are cor
rect. descriptions are concise and com
plete, elassifsations of goods clearly de-
fined and, as a whole, it is safe to say
it is the greatest Commercial Catalogue
of any kind the world has ever seen.
This Catalogue is issued exclusively
to the Retail Hardware Merchant for
his use in picturing and describing to
the public any items which might be
wanted but which he would not usu-
ally carry in stock, and by means OF
it the retail merchant can supply any
thing on earth that would be in stock
in the largest retail hardware store IN
the world.
1t is we'll worth the time of any man,
woman or child to call on local dealer
and ask to see a copy of the Simmons

new SONGBIRD
FOR NORTHWEST
EUROPEAN VARIETIES OF SONG
BIRDS HAVE BEEN IMPORTED
BY OREGON SONG BIRD So
GETTY AND HUNDREDS WILL
BE LIBERATED.

PORTLAND, Nov. 13.-Hundreds
of the most noted varieties of Eu-
ropean song birds will be liberated
in Portland within the next six
months by the Oregon Song Bird as
ISOLATION. They include English
skylarks, song thrushes, goldfinches,
chaffinches and blackcap nightin-
gales. Shipments from Europe have
already been made, and the birds will
arrive within few weeks.
At the meeting of the city park
board this morning G. F. Pfiuger, of
the Oregon Song Bird Society, gave
full review of the work of the or
ganization, and asked the co-opera-
tion of the board in the efforts of the
society to encourage the propagation
of various foreign songsters in this
state. He said that various song
bird societies had been organized
throughout the state, and that funds
had been secured for the importation
of SIS pairs of English skylarks, to be
liberated in various parts Of Oregon.
In addition to this, he said the local
society had ordered rs additional
pairs of skylarks, % pairs of song
thrushes, 20 pairs of go1dfinches, 20
, pairs of chaff1inches and 10 pairs of
blackcap nightingales. One-ha1f of
these birds will be liberated in Port
land as soon as they arrive and the
fother half will be retained until
March in aviaries in the city park.
when they, also, will be set free in
the park, where it is believed they
will mate and nest.
The skylarks which were liberated
in this city last spring are said to be
doing nicely. Mr.. Pfuger said that
he had received reports that they had
nestled and that quite frequently
their songs could be heard.
The park board offered him all the
assistance in its power in the work,
as the members believed it an excel
lent proposition to support.

Lee Thomas. charged with drawfng

fled that when he asked Green the
names of his other victims he had re-
piled, Il don't remember" 1t was on
account of this statement made by
Mr.. Robbins that Mr.. Johnson asked
for d new trial. In conclusion Mr..
Robbins slater that under the laws of
the state the jury would be warranted
i'll returning verdict of rape against
Green as the testimony introduced by
the state clearly proved that Green
had been guilty of such a felony.
Johnson Makes Reply.
Mr. Robbins was followed by Mr..
Johnson and i'll opening his argument
the attorney for the defendant stated
that if he thought the jury could not
give fair and inNartial trial to
man because of his color he would not
have attempted to make a statement.
Mr. Johnson stated that the evidence
in the case did not prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that Green was gull
ty as charged and insisted that the
testimony before the jury only proved
that he was guilty of a grievous as
StulL duu battery. NIT. JO1nSOn SIHleU
that offense to which his client had
plead guilty was only punishable by a
jail sentence and because the state
had not seen fit to provide a more Sc
we're punishment for the Offense of
which Green was guilty, this did not
give the jury the right to usurp power
and sentence him to the penitentiary.
Mr.. Johnson pointed out that Green
could be sentenced to six months in
the county jail and be fined 81 900.
Mr.. Johnson also stated that when
Mr.. Robbins made a statement OF the
case before the jury he said that be-
yond the question of a doubt Green
was guilty of assault and battery with
intent to commit rape and that in his
argument Mr.. Robbins had attempted
to convince the jury that Green was
guilty of rape. Mr.. Johnson then ask
ed the jurymen if they were quite
certain in their minds as to what Of
Tense Mr.. Robbins thoueht Green gull
ty Of. Following the able argument
of Mr.. Johnson, Prosecutor Jessup
made a strong argument which was
answered by Mr.. Johnson. After read
ing his instructions Judge Fox ordered
the jury to retire and to consider the
case.

FIRE RESULTS FROM
GASOLINE EXPLOSION
Home of E. w. OdeII on Ridge
Street Was Badly DAM
aged by Flames.
DELAY ABOUT THE ALARM.
MONDAY EVENING THE DEPART
MENT WAS CALLED TO THE
STARR CHAIN AND n A M e
WORkS-LlTTLE DAMAGE.

About 5 o'clock this morning a gas
oltne stove in the home OF E. W. Odell
on Ridge street, exploded. The stove
was located in the l-itchen and imme-
diately after the explosion the gasO-
line spread all over the room. This
ignited and in a very short time the
entire house which is frame StruC
ture, was ablaze. At the time of the
explosion Mr.. and Mrs. Odell and
their two children were in their bed
rooms. Greatly alarmed, they ran
from the house and called upon neigh
bors for assistance.
Mr.. Odell is a stranger in the city
and did not know where the nearest
fire alarm box was located. AS q re-
suit it was several minutes before an
alarm was sent in. When the depart
ment arrived on the scene the flames
had gained great headway and it look
ed as though the building would be
burned to the ground.
Fremen's Good Work.
BY splendid work the firemen were
able to save the walls of the front
part of the house but the kitchen part
was burned down and the entire in
terror OF the living part Of the house
was gutted. NeighbOrs were prompt
in coming to the assistance of the
Odells and did every thing in their
power to save property but owing to
the fierceness of the blaze it was on
ly possible to save q small part OF the
household goods. Just what caused
the stove to explode Is not known.
The house is the property OF Mrs.
Nancy Tharp and she had only moved
out of it a few days ago, when Mr..
Odell and his family. who had come
here from Cottage Grove, O., moved
in. having rented the property of Mrs.
Tharp. 1t is thought that the total
loss occasioned by the fire will
amount to over $1,000 This includes
the household goods owned by Mr..
Odell. 1t is not known whether apv
of the loss is covered by insurance
The Odell family is being cared for
by neiehbors for the time being.
Monday evening the fire department
was called out by a blaze at the Starr
Chain and Hame works. In some nm.
known manner a dipping tub partia1-
ly filled with gasoline caught fire and
for a short time the blaze looked
threatening. On the arrival Of the fire
department the blaze was promptly
extinguished.

County Treasurer Myrick Will
Turn List of DeIinquents on
Poll Tax Over for the Filing
Of Civil Suits.
NEW LAW COVERS CASES
OF JUST THIS NATURE.
In Case of Judgment Against
The Delinquent, the Court
Costs Will Also Be Attached
Law Not Well Known.

County Treasurer B. B. Myrick. Jr.,
will, in accordance with recent act
OF the legislature, attempt to collect
through the prosecutors office all de-
linquent poll tax that should have been
paid to the treasurer last Monday. the
period for the second inStallment of
taxes having closed on that date.
Treasurer Myrick and his assistants
will soon prepare a list OF all delin-
qucnts and this list will be turned oy.
er to the prosecutor.
After receiving this list Of delin-
CuentS on poll tax Prosecutor Jessup
will file civil suit in the circuit court
against each delinquent to recover the
amount of tax he owes TO the county.
OF course, if judgment is rendered
AGAINST the delinquent he will also be
obliged to pay The costs of the case.
1t will be seen that it is cheaper for
the poll tax delinquent to settle his
little, or big account, as the case may
be, with the county out of.rourt
Office Carefully ReeuIated.
The recent decisions Of the supreme e
and appellate courts of the state and
acts of the last legislature make the
office of the county treasurer one that
is most carefully regulated and Mr..
Myrick has to be continually on the
alert to fulfill the hundred and one du-
ties required OF him. Last summer
Mr.. Myrick and his deputies were
busy collecting delinquent taxes other
than poll taxes. He will now devote
his attention to the collection of de-
linquent poll tax. This tax is small
one and very often the person as
sessed for poll tax absolutely ignored
it, in which case the county treasurer
never made an attempt to collect it
as he had no resource to fall back on
until the passage of the poll tax col
lection act.
Very few people in this county know
that there is such a law in existence
and that the higher courts have ruled
that it is perfectly legal. If all the
money due the county for poll tax was
collected, Wayne county's treasury
would be enriched to the extent of sew
eral thousands of dollars.
