NO NEW BOAT AT PRESENT.
Open River Association VIII Wait
for Completion OF the j. N. Teal.

II. Aotter, local agent for the
Open River Transportation company
informs the Chronicle that owing to
the imposslbillty of securing boat
suitable for the run between The
Dalles and Portland the company has
decided that no boat will be put on
until the Teal is rebuilt, says The
Dalles Chronicle.
This will probably be some six
weeks or more but In the meantime
the holdings of the company on the
water front in this city are being i'm
proved and put in first class order.
A windmill has been Installed for
the purpose of keeping the water
pumped out of the hull of the dock
house, and new coat Of paint will be
put on. When the new Teal, which
is to be better boat than the old one
is fitted up the management is ex-
pecting a large increase of business.
Fred Snipes, superintendent of the
company, has been looking over the
interests Of the company in that
quarter, and everything is being ar
ranged for a through line to Lewis
ton.

" Knives Are Tiny Saws.

Knives, no matter how carefully
sharpened, are little saws. The grind
Ing away OF the steel, done by the
stone, Is not an even work, but when
the edge gets thin is process of tear
ing away tiny bits of steel by the grit
Of the stone. This tearing makes the
teeth. A fine stone makes fine teeth, a
coarse stone coarse teeth. A carving
knife used on meat Is sharpened on Il
coarse stone or steel and has coarse
teeth, although its edge is thick. Its
action in parting the meat is more that
Of saw than a fine wedge. No matter
how soft 1t may be 1t will not cut
easily unless 1t is drawn over the meat
and not simply pressed down. A razor,
however, with its paperllke edge, will
cut into flesh with simple pressure.
1t is wedge dividing the fibers of
flesh just as wedge Of iron divides
the flbers of the log 1t splits. But
razor is saw, too, only as 1t is ground
on the finest stones and later finished
with leather strap, its teeth are very
fine indeed-hundreds and hundreds to
the inch Of blade.-C. ii. Claudy in st.

WANT GAMBLERS FORTUNE.
Rival Claimants Seek Mike McDon.
AIDS Immense Fortune.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-The anticipated
fight for the immense fortune left by
Mike Mcdonald, the former gambling
king and political boss of this city
was begun today when n hearing was
had on an application of an in
junction preventing the estate from
paying Mrs. Dora Mcdonald, the
widow, her dover right in the estate
pending a settlement.
The application was made by Mrs
Mary Mcdonald. former wife of. the
noted gambler. In her application
she declares herself to be the rightful
wife OF Mcdonald, and alleges that
she was the victim of a fraudulent
divorce, denying that she fled to
France with a priest. which was the
ground upon which Mcdonald obtain.
ed his divorce from her. Not the
least interesting phase of the case is
the fact that Mrs. Dora Mcdonald,
the defendant in the injunction pro.
ceedings is soon to be placed on trial
for the alleged murder Of Webster
Guerin, an artist, with whom she is
said to have been infatuated.

Pronunciation of "rhsatre.u

If theatre" was originally written
"theater'' in English, has its pronunci-
alton also varied among the orthodox
that is to say, was there ever n time
when correct speakers said "theayter,"
as many Of the incorrect still do?
There is no direct evidence in verse Of
serious kind for such pronunciation
so far as we know. Shakespeare GER
tainly pronounced the word as we do
now, says London journal. But since
"theayter" does really represent long
"a" Of the original Greek and Latin II
is not easy to understand how the vul-
gar could have blundered on to 1t Of
their own accord. 1t would have been
more comprehensive If they had turned
an orthodox "theayter" into "theater,"
just as the second "a" In "Amasis''
goes too often popularity shortened now.
The French language has had to mark
the length Of the "a" in theatre" by
giving 1t rather irregular circumhex
accent.

Origin Of Curtain Calls.

The first curtain call took place on
the evening OF Feb. 20, 1743. On that
memorable evening yoltalre's "Me.
rope" was performed for the first time
In Paris. The author was known to the
Paris public, but nothing that they had
seen Of bis had pleased them so much
rs "Merope." and the enthusiasm found
expression in noisy demands to see tile
author. In a letter Voltaire says this
Of the incident: They dragged me out
and led me by force to the box occu-
pied by the Duchesse de Vlllars and
her daughter-ln-law The whole thea.
ter seemed to have gone mad-all
shouted to the duchesse to kiss me.
The noise became so great that the
lady finally obeyed. So / was, Ike
Alaln Charter, publicly kissed, but he
was asleep, while 1 was wide awake"
Now authors answer similar calls by
appearing before the curtain. They
gain in so far that they can be seen
better by their audience, but they must
dispense with the duchesse's kiss-at
least in public Tageblatt.

Luck In Eallinu,

"It's peculiar thing the tricks that
luck will now and then play a chap"
said prominent physician recently.
"Take, for instance, the breaking Of
bones In ones body. Did you ever
stop and think how very many hard
and high falls a man can have, light
on rocky ground with half his body
twisted under the other half, so to
speak, and come off with not even a
scratch2 Then, again, fellow will
just trip over his own foot and, falling
to the ground, break leg or an arm.
A good many will say 1t all depends on
how one alights, but that seems to
have absolutely nothing to do with it,
as 1 have seen man alight in GER
tain way from high fall and never
lnjure himself, and then again have
seen second chap alight in the same
identical way and break a leg and an
arm."-Columbus Dispatch.

A Salt Lake dispatch says of the
completion of the sugar beet harvest
and the distribution of $1,000, ,OOO
among beet farmers:
The three sugar companies OF
Utah and Idaho, namely, Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, with headquarters in
Salt Lake; the Amalgamated Sugar
company and the Lewiston Sugar
company, whose headquarters are in
Ogden, will today begin the stupen-
dous work of paying out something
like .$1,5OO,0O0 to their growers of
beets.
The several factories are in Lehi,
Garland, Idaho Falls, Sugar City,
Blackfoot, Nampa, ogden, Logan,
Lewiston and La Grande, Ore, but
the farmers who grow the beets are
located at distances as great as rs to
100 miles from some of the factories.
The payroll for beets to be worked
at Lehi reaches farmers in Utah,
Sampete, Sewer, Wasatch and Salt
Lake counties.
Owing to the imposslbility of Sc
curing gold, greenbacks, or silver
from the banks the Utah-Idaho Su-
gar company has drawn a large num-
Der OF checks of small denominations
on the National City bank of New
fYork.
These checks will take the place
~ .,.glI 4.
mers by all the local banks through
out Utah and Idaho, with which the |
sugar company does business. The |
payroll at the factories has already |
been met In these small New York !
checks. and as they are accepted for !
all trade purposes they naturally take
the place Of currency az they are
payable TO the bearer and known to |
be gilt edged.
In ogden the plan followed is
largely the same, except that the far
mers will receive at the banks for
their usual beet vouchers, cashiers
checks for small denominations.
These will also pass for all business
needs the farmer has in the commu-
nifty, and Judge Rolapp of the Anal
gamated Sugar company, stated this
morning that the merchants and bus
iness men generally were eagerly
aiding in giving them the largest pos.
sible circulation.
Judge Rolapp also states that the
new order of things is working
smoothly and satisfactorily in Ogden
and throughout Weber county, even
the Greek employees of the Utah
Construction company, having &C.
cepted the clearing house certificates
without question.

NOTED CRIMINAL ARRESTED.

men in the United States here tomor-
from the federal prison here tomor-

ed and taken to North Carolina to
stand trial for helping to blow the
safe Of the bank of Davie at Mocks-
Vile. The authorities claim to have
a good case against him for the
North Carolina job, and the probable
tiles are that a long prison sentence
will follow his conviction. Lang
comes originally from New York, but
1t was in the south that he and his
gang conducted their most extensive

OREGON GOT 1888 COLoNISTs.
Hartman Lines Delivered $50 People
Per Day in the State.

Tom Richardson, secretary OF the
Portland Commercial club, says of
the result of the colonist excursions
over the Hartman lines during Sep
tember and October Of this year:
Two hundred and thirty new peo-
pie found homes in Oregon every
day from September l to October 81
as a result of the colonist one-way
tickets, and through the help of the
newspapers the population and
wealth of the state has been enor-
mously increased.
The exact number of tickets sold
as reported by William McMurray,
general passenger agent of the Har-
riman lines, for 1907, was 1888.
For the same time in 1906 1t was
$500, an increase Of 1868 or about
go per cent.

Miss Russell is said to have made a most
captiyating success. Is that OF a young
widow who has inherited stable; fact
which she keeps secret from her friends.
Out of the west comes a young Lochinyar.
In the racing game he Is the rival OF the
fair widow. but In the game OF hearts he
Is a suitor. Joseph Brooks, under whose
direction Miss Russell II starring this
season. has surrounded his star with I'm
excellent supporting company. Miss Rus
seIi has developed wonderfully as an act
