Fire at Lebanon.

A dispa ch from Lebanon Wed
nesday says:
An attempt to burn the fine
college building at Sodaville,
resulted in failure, from some
strange cause. Fire was started
in two places. Under the stair
landing in the corner Of the build
ing the fire got good start and
burnt out a space of several feet
in the floor and large hole in
the wall, and then either was put
out or went out. In another place
a hole two feet square was burnt
out but the wall was only scorch-
ed. Some think it the work of
children, who, when they saw
what they had done, put it out,
while others think it incendiary.
Still others think it is the work
of an insane person. No reason
can be given, as no bad feeling
is known to exist. The build
ing cost about $4,000 and has
only 81, $50 insurance.

SIR JOHN MOORE.
Tie Brave Soldier Died as He Had A.
ways Hoped He Would.

ways ftoPSo ne Wouios
Moore was dying. Baird was Sc
verely wounded. The early winter
night was creeping over the field Of
battle, and Hope, gallant soldier
though he was, judged it prudent tc
stay his hand. Soult had beer
roughly driven back. The transports
were crowding into the harbor 1t
was enough to have ended a long re-
treat with the halo of victory and
to have secured an undisturbed en-
barkation.
Meanwhile Moore had been car
ried into his quarters at Coruna. A
much attached servant stood with
tears running down his face as the
dying man was carried into the
house. NMy friend" said Moore,
esit is nothingH Then, turning to a
member of his staff, Colonel Ander-
son, he said: 'Anderson, you know
/ have always wished to die in this
way. hope my country will do me
justice" Only once his lips quiver-
ed and his voice shook as he said
F'Say to my mother" and then stop
ped, while he struggled to regain
his composure. ''Stanhope," he said
as his eyes fell on his aid-de-camp's
face, remember me to your sister"
the famous Hester Stanhope,
Pitts niece, to whom Moore was en-
gagged. Life was fast and visibly
sinking, but he said, 81 feel myself
so strong 1 fear I shall be long dy-
ing" -
But he was not. Death came
: swiftly and almost painlessly. Wrap
ped in a soldiers cloak, he was car
ried by the light of torches to a
grave hastily dug in the citadel at
Coruna, and far off to the south, as
the sorrowing officers stood around
the grave of their dead chief, could
be heard from time to time the
sound of Soult's guns, yet in sullen
retreat. That scene is made i'm
mortal in Wolfe's noble lines:
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not a word of sorrow,
But we steadfastly gazed on the face that
was dead,
And we bitterly thought of the morrow.
We thought as we followed his narrow
And smoothed down his lonely pillow
That the foe and the stranger would
tread DER his head,
And we far away on the billow.

POWER OF PARDON.

Oregonians in common with
Ehe citizens Of many other states,
may justly protest against the
LOO free and easy exercise Of the
spardoning power. Criminals
who have committed every felony
an the catalogue of crime, whose
presence in any community is d
constant menace to the peace,
property and lives of orderly,
aaw-abiding, reputable citizens
are convicted, usually after great
efforts and expense, only to be
set free and again given oppor-
tunity to prey upon the commur-
ity.
Everyone knows how difficult
it is to apprehend and convict
criminals who have wealth, or
political or family influence at
their backs. Offenders having
Ihe aid of these are able to eln-
ploy all the arts of chicanery in
their defense and so escape
the penalties which just law
provides for their punishment.
But even though such offenders
znay be convicted and placed be-
hind prison bars there is no as
surance they must abide the
penalty meted unto them.
Presently an appeal is made to
the pardoning power and their
prison doors are unbarred.
So long as maudlin sentiment
may assume the garb of humane
gbenevolence, so long as the
pardoning power rests with men
deficient in moral courage, we
shall see the power itself grossly
abused, justice thwarted and
sseber-minded citizens Inundated.
Certainly courts co not admln-
isaar justice hoping to see their
Judgments overridden, neither
do the people elect a governor
that he may achieve noLoriety by
frequent exercise of the pardon
Gng power.
1t is not probable the people
would, nor do we think they
should consent to the elimina-
tion of this power from our juris-
prudence, but it is evident it
should b. greatly restricted in
ats exercises, and placed in the
hands of those less likely to be
moved to its exercise by any con-
-sideration save that of doing
justice.

Worried About Fuel.

Already in Corvallis there i,
anxiety among residents in re-
gard to their fuel supply for the
coming winter, and while every
one is endeavoring to secure the
usual amount of wood the ques-
tion arises, "From whence is the
required amount to come?'
The condition is due to the
fact that men who formerly en-
gagged in the wood choppipg
business are now receiving bet
ter wages at other kinds of work
aud refuse to hire out in the
wood camps. Help in every
line is scarce, and doubly so where
the wages offered are necessarily
lower than those afforded in
other occupations, and this will
certainly mean that there will
not be enough wood cut and
ready for market this tall to fill
the woodshed in Corvallis. And
while some people have declared
their intention of getting oil
burning stoves they have never
carried their idea unto practice,
so that wood has always BEEN
and will doubtless remain the
standby" in case it can be
procured, which is now the prob
lem that vexes consumers.

If their children go astray from

In most boys there is strain
of devilishness that is hard to

reason which controls him and
sounds the alarm when he has
gone far enough. But the boy

To Restore Faded CoIors.

often become faded after being
washed a time or two. Get a few
cents worth of salts of lemon and
scald it. When quite cold, plunge
the article in and let it lie for some
twenty minutes or so, turning over
once or twice. The color will be
quite restored. Dry in a shady

THE LADIES ALL BOWED.
Led to an Amusing I'M
position.

How different the social customs of
Uruguay are from those of Great Britain
was well illustrated by a story related
by South American visitor, says Cas-
sells.
He told how young Canadian went
to Uruguay to join a friend from the
United States, who had spent some
years in Montevideo, the capital
The Canadian was much struck by the
friendly terms which his friend seemed
to have established with the fair olles
Of the place, and rallied him upon the
fact. The American calmly replied that
he knew every lady in the city!
This struck the Canadian rs a deCid-
eddy 'tall' statement, and, his friend
volunteering to convince hin, on the
point, the two set off for jaunt through
the capital
In the course of the walk the pain met
several hundred ladies, all of whom &C
knowledged the Americans salute with
bow and smile, and the Canadian ad-
mitted himself convinced.
And his wonder was intense until he
learned that he had been victim of a
Uruguayan custom under which any
gentleman who bows to a lady in the
street receives an answering bow of
recognition whether she knows him or
not

LAST YEARS sHIPBUILDINc
Was the Poorest Season in This Coun-
try for the Last Six
Years.

Shipbuilding throughout the world
is at its lowest point for the last six
years, according to the figures made
public by Lloyd's Register of British
and Foreign Shipping in special cir
cular, and according to these same
figures the year was the poorest in the
United States for the same period. In
Great Britain, there is a slight gain
over last year, the low-water mark
since 1897 and this despite the fact
that the largest steamships are now
under construction.
All this applies to the merchant fleet.
and war vessels are not considered in
these figures. In the latter respect
the showing by the United States for
the last year-the launching of ships
aggregating III, 900 tons displacement
has never been equaled with but one
exception, the year 1901, when 100000
tons of British war vessels were put
overheard.
With decrease in building mer-
chant vessels in the United States for
the last year of $4,000 tons, as COM
pared with the previous year, the
enormous falling off is accounted for
in the decrease recorded on the Great
Lakes, which, from an average of 1884,
900 tons for the years 1901-19O3,
dropped to $4,000 tons in 1904. Yet
the largest steamship Augustus
B. Wolvin, of 6,585 tons-ever built on
the lakes was launched last year.

IMPROVED PH0NoGRAPH.

One of the attractions at the fair
next week will be an auxetophone, ex-
hibited by the James Music Co. This
instrument is built on the same princi-
pie as the phonograph, only the plans
have been changed and modernized.
The auxetophone produces music from
a record the same as a photograph but
has the latter skinned" sever ways
for Sunday, in the fact that it produces
natural music-music not so harsh or
grating or the ear. All the metallic
sound is done away with and the
natural tone, whether it be a song or
instrumental music. is produced in its
natural tone. As an attraction and
entertaining feature for those who will
attend the homecoming. MIR. James
has consented to have the machine
placed in the old Continental store
bnilding-homecomsrs' headquarters
evenings, where those who visit the
place will be entertained by its music
The machine costs $500 and discounts
anything of the kind ever brought to
town.
