testimony of the coachman who had
lent his whip for the purpose. This
coachman, who was known to be a
man of extreme good nature, had seen
no harm in lending his whip to a poor
devil who wished to give telegram
or some such hasty message to the lady
sitting Just above them in a lighted
window. The wind was fierce and the
snow binding, and it was natural that
the man should duck his head, but he
remembered his appearance well
enough to say that he was either very
cold or very much done up and that
he wore a greatcoat with the collar
pulled up about his ears. When he
came back with the whip he seemed
more cheerful than when he asked for
1t, but had no 'thank you" for the
favor done him, or if he had it was
lost in his throat and the piercing gale
The communication, which was re-
garded by the police as matter Of
the highest Importance. had been found
in her hand by the coroner. 1t was a
mere scrawl written in pencil on a
small scrap of paper The following
facsimile of the scrawl was given to
the public in the hope that some one
would recognize the handwriting:

and taken In a small piece of paper
which he saw lifted up from below
on the end of whip handle. He could
not see who held the whip, but at Mrs
Fairbrother's entreaty he unpinned the
note and gave 1t to her. While she was
puzzling over 1t, for it was apparently
far from legible, he took another look
out in time TO mark a figure rush from
below toward the carriage drive. He
did not recognize the figure nor would
he know 1t again. AS to the nature of
the communication itself he could say
nothing, save that Mrs. Fairbrother
did not seem to be affected favorably
by 1t. She frowned and was look ing
very gloomy when he left the alcove
Asked If he had pulled the curtains
together after closing the window, he
said that he had not; that she had not
requested him to do so.
This story, which was certainly a
strange one, had been confirmed by the

San Francisco, CAL, Feb. "a
As direct result of the recent Jap
anese war scare, a formidable squad
ron is to be maintained on the Pa
cific Coast. This feet is to be rap
idly assembled and will consist of
seven battle ships with compile
ment of cruisers and auxiliaries.
This feet will cooperate with the
Asiatic squadron, In which are four
battleships, or cruisers of battle
ship strength. Even this combined
feet, 1t is pointed out, will be far
inferior to the Japanese naval
strength in Pacific waters.
The Pacific Coast feet will be dis
tributed along the coasts OF Califor.
mia, Oregon and Washington. Ex.
ira coaling stations are to be pro-
vided, including one at San Diego
anc another at California City, on
San Francisco Bay. A <drydock,
the largest In the world, :is to be
CONSTRUCTED at Hunters Point, on
San Francieco's Bay. It will ao-
commodate two battle ships at one
time when completed.
The first steps toward the forma-
ton of formidable Pacific feet
will be taken when the bsttleships
Indiana and Iowa are sent to the
coast. These two ships will form
the nucleus of the Pacific, battle
ship squadron, which will be furth-
er strengthened by the addition OF
the new battle ship Nebraska, now
nearly completed at Seattle, and
the battle chips Wisconsin and Or.
egon, which are now being exten'
sively overhauled at the Puge,
Sound Navy Yard. These five bat
tie ships will be reinforced during
the next few months by two more
from the Atlantic.
1t Is noted, however, that of the
vessels named, only the Nebrasks
is modern. up-to-date warship
The Indiana is sister ship of tn.
Oregon. The Iowa is only a veal
younger tbae the Indiana. The Wis

card bearers wanted to be de posted
at Oregon City, for hadn't they just
left Salem, bat he could not refuse
their money. He might have an
idea that come of it at leaet was
tainted, but it was not for him to
cay. But he got back. The "Sou.
Pac." does not provide it's hired

paying over $1.29, it cost the law

not, saved 10 cents, enough to buy

Salem Statesman: There is not
general satisfaction with the John.
son road law passed at this session,
aud Mrs. Clera H. Waldo was in
the city yesterday as representa-
tive of the Patrons of Husbandry,
with some notion of urging the gov
ernor to veto it. The bill was not
satisfactory to all the members who
voted for 1t, but it was the best that
could be obtained this year and was
accepted as compromise. This
bill has some good features and
others which are not so good, but
taken altogether it would probably
De the nears of getting some per-
manent roads, though with heavy
outlay Of state money.
The short arm jab in the solar
plexus by Representative Carter OF
Benton, says the Oregonian, was
enough t, put to sleep the Booth
bill which bad passed the senate to
give the State game warden the
privilege of charging 50 cents On
each pheasant shipped out Of the
state. The bill also provided for
smaller charges on other birds
mentioned. Carter eaid that a
number of persons are building up
a coed business in the breeding Of
pheasants and that this bill would
destroy this pew industry. His
motion to indefinitely postpone was
CARRIED without q dissenting vote.
The bill provided charge of fifty
cents on each pheasant, rs on each
quail and 81 on each deer SHIPPED
out of the state.

 Good Food Read a Doctors words
 about Grape-Nuts

A short time ago was called to a patient who had been given up by his physician.
 His stomach would not bear food, and consequently he got no nourish- ment and was slowly dying from ex- haustion.
 He was reduced to skin and bones. immediately put him on Grape Nuts food and Postum Food Coffee He could keep both articles on his stomach and neither caused him any pain. He has been using both the food and the cereal coffee and has gained rapidly"
 The reason a delicate stomach can take Grape-Nuts food is that it Is pre- digested by natural means during it's preparation, and even a small babe can handle it as 1t causes no heavy wulk by the stomach and digestive applrar- us; on the contrary, being predigested, it is quickly assimllated int blood and tissue.
 Grape-Nuts as we'll as Postum Food Coffee contains elements selected from the grains of the field that are of first importance to the human body in nour- ishing and rebuilding it.
