The reader scrubbed on the pad Of
paper before him and slipped it in the

er Miss Celeste read the confirmation
of her suspicion and bore it in triumph
to her brother.
John Noailes came as close to swear
ing at a woman as he had ever done in
his life, but he checked his temper and
solemnly warned her OF the folly Of
giving heed to the charlatans, but even
as he spoke he knew that nothing
would convince her of Vincent'S inno-
cence save the finding Of the ring
Gradually it became noised about
the town that the spirits had told Miss
NOailes that Crawford was q thief.
Vincent had not been near the house
since that night, and his apparent
break verified the gossip. 1t began to
look ugly for his prospects when Miss
Noailes was moved 10 entertain few

Elyia sat apart from the rest trying

sat up in her chair.

LOGS NOT TO FLOAT AGAIN.
Grande Ronde to Carry Lumber Nc
More, but Cars Do Work.

PENDLETON, Feb. 5.-This season
for the first time in 20 years there viii
be no log drives for the Perry sawmills
on the Grand Ronde river. Hereafter
the logs for the seasons run will be
hauled from the Blue mountains by
trains
The company now has about 2000,-
900 feet in the dam at the mill, which
were run down during the high water
of the fall months, but this was per-
haps the last drive that will ever be at
tempted Oh the Grand Ronde river.
For 20 years the annual spring
log drive from the Blue noun
tains down the Grand Ronde has been
the most important industrial event in
the mountain districts. Hundreds OF
skilled log drivers from all over the Pa
cific coast have made Perry and Hill
gard their objective points in the
spring months and for two and three
months braved the waters of the river
in bringing down miles of logs for the
big mills at Perry.
Now this work will be done by a
railroad train which will be kept in
service every month in the year. The
log road has been built up the river
for Is miles and will be extended every
season as the supply of logs becomes
scarcer
A large number of teams are now
employed in banking out the logs at
the dumps along the railroad and en-
ployment of several hundred men is
still furnished by the logging industry
in the mountains as we'll as at the ePr-
ry mills.
The mills will start this year about
February Is, a month earlier than
usual, because a supply of logs will
BE on hand through the operation of
the railroad.

tion?"

Gleason asked the witness if he
thought Thaw knew at the time of the
shooting that the act was wrongful
and knew its nature.
"He did not" replied Wiley.
After wrangle the court, upon Je-
rOme's motion ordered the answer
stricken from the record. The answer
was not in accordance with the rules
of evidence laid down by the court of
appeals in opening on hypothetical
questions.
Gleason tried to get an answer to
the same hypothetical question which
would accord with the rules.
Wiley answered that he believed the
act that of an insane man.
Jerome went at the witness asking
him what he believed.
Il believed he was suffering from a
delusion," said Wiley.
"Of what nature?" asked Jerome.
"They were impressions reached by
my conclusions said Wiley.
do you know anything about Chris
tan science?" asked Jerome

it,"
DO you believe them insane?'
NO"
Then Jerome and the witness wres-
tied with the medical difference be-
tween pathological conditions and per-
verted functions.
Jerome made Wiley admit the opin-
ion that Thaw was insane was based
upon the street car incident but not
until after he read of the shooting and
he further admitted the opinion was
partly formed by what he read in the
newspapers.
Jerome turned to the question of
pathological conditions and perverted
functions and asked Wiley if he ever
applied the Rhomberg test.

DR.. AndersOn'S service with fhe
state is ending rather suddenly, al
though it is understood that d change
had been planned for about April I
by the state administration. A few
days ago the delegation in the legis
lature from Spokane called on Cover

that DR.. Anderson is removed. The
attitude Of the delegation and its call
on the governor appeared in the Spo-
kane newspapers
DR.. Anderson at once got busy with
the telegraph wires to find what Was
was going to be done at once He
was ready to make a settlement with
the state, he said. 1t was then decided
to send Mr.. Jones to Medical Lake TO
superintend the change.
The Spokane county delegation is
reported to have objected to DR.. An
derson on the ground that he is an
unfit person to be superintendent; that
he is greatly disliked by the relatives
that call to see the patients.
Governor Mead is reported to have
told the delegation that the state was
doing the best it could with the money
available: that it was the intention
to ask for more liberal appropriations.
1t is understood that DR.. Anderson
would nave been retained in minor
capacity had he chosen to remain With

Why He Was Arrested.

Mrs. Gibson No. l resides at Van
cOuver and her mother at Yacolt
Washington. When Gibson went to the
grandmother to get the child, she told
him that he should get a divorce, not
knowing that Gibson had already been
married to Mrs. Gibson No. 2. Gibson
brought the boy to Portland and it is
said told Captain Bruin that he wanted
to take care of the child as Mrs. Glib
son was unfit to provide for him.
Mrs. Gibson No. l had already left
Gibson upon the ground that he had
failed to provide for her.
The case presents several unusual
features. chief of which is the present
status of Mrs. Gibson No 2. The tam
gle is a veritable maze to the officers
and showed a new trait hitherto I'M
suspected in Gibson. The man has all
along sought to impress the fact that
he is weakminded upon Mr.. Foster. The
latter says that Gibson was a reve-
lation yesterday when confronted by
Mrs. Gibson No. 1.
Mrs. Gibson No. l was formerly Miss
Kittel and Mrs. Gibson No. was a
Miss Thompson. Gibson was arrested
by Mr.. Foster for impersonating a
