Under the present system, all banks

also assessed dollar for dollar. Other

PAID $4,000 FOR STAMP.
Rare Old Blue POstmaster's PrOvis-
ional Stamp Brings High Price.

New York, Dec. 24-Philateiists in
New York are commenting on the
sale of a stamp the other day by a
Philadelphia dealer to George H.
Worthington. of Cleveland, for $4,-
000 The stamp is a postmaster's
provisional issued in Alexandria, Va,
in 1S47, and is on blue paper.
Two or three specimens of the
stamp have been known to collec-
tors, but they are on buff paper and
this is the only known specimen on
blue paper. It was found on an old
letter among some family treasures
by Mrs. M. Fawcett, of Alexandria,
and by her, shown to a New York col
lector. He told her 1t was very val
liable, and 1t finally found its way
into the hands of the dealer who
sold it to Mr.. Worthington. Collec-
tors here say that the price was
fair one, but that the stamp would
doubtless have brought at least $4,000
in England where much higher prices
are paid for rare stamps than in
America. Y,

That Malheur county possesses oil
in great quantities and that 1t will be
upon the markets within reasonable
length of time is the earnest belief
OF Malheur county people, as express
ed today to the East Oregonian by
Prof. W. S. Mayberry, principal of the
Vale public schools who was in the
city this forenoon on his way home
to Milton for the holiday vacation.
The oil we'll nine miles southwest
of Vale is now down 1900 feet and
when 1t was plugged pending the
purchase of new machinery, a few
days ago 1t was flowing about 10 gal
Ions per day of excellent oil.
Samples of this oil have been sent
to Portland, Pittsburg and other
places to be tested and the company
is anxiously awaiting replies from the
tests. In the meantime arrangements
are being made to bore to greater
depth and with that end in view
large amount of new machinery and
new material is being purchased.
The company is composed of east
ern Oregon people, exclusively and
the proposition is not being advertis-
ed to any extent for the reason that
the owners VIII dothelr own develop
ment work and but little If any stock
is for sale.

Portland, Dec. 25.-William A.
owen, arrested in the department
store of Olds, Workman & King last
night, forfeited 500 bail this morn
ing by nonappearance in the munich
pal court for hearing on the charge
of larceny. Owen is about SO years

managed to secrete on his person a
pair Of garters, a sachet bag and a
comb. One of the floor walkers no.
ticed the theft and notified the po-
lice, Detective Tichenor placing the
man under arrest soon after. He
has the appearance of being well to
do and perpetrated the theft with
the cleverness of an expert.
He is thought to have given flc-
titious name, and the police believe
he is a wealthy rancher from Baker
City. He had several hundred dol
lars in his possession and is regarded
as kleptomaniac.

DESERTED ARMY
AND AFFINITY
WOMAN'S HUSBAND IDEN-
TITLES COUNTY PRISONER.
Harry Hayes, Chatting Under Army
Life, Comes to PendletOn From
Boise With Wife of Sergeant Ed
ward Brown-Desertei the Woman
Here at Critical Tme-Will be
Taken to Military Court-Reward
for Officers.

Harry Hayes, who has been held
as county prisoner for several weeks
on the charge OF failing to support
his wife, is a deserter from the U. S.
army and the woman whom he so
basely neglected is not his lawful
wife. Instead, she is the wife of Ser
geant Edward Brown of the 14th cav
airy, stationed at Boise. With Hayes,
whose real name is Henderson, she
ran away from home last spring and
since that time the two have been
living here as man and wife.
The disclosure regarding the two
was made here several days ago when
Brown himself passed through the
city from Boise and incidentally
identified Hayes as the man who elop-
ed with his wife. After learning that
Hayes was here he notified the army
authorities and Instructions for the
deserter's arrest have been sent Sher-
iff Taylor. Hayes will be taken to
Walla Walla tomorrow.
John O'Day, another deserter from
the army. was picked up yesterday
afternoon by the sheriff. He is want
ed for having left his regiment at
Vancouver shortly before it embark
ed for the Philippines. He will also
be turned over to the military court
at Walla Walla and a reward of $50
paid Sheriff Taylor for his arrest.

that the scheme is to bring out ST.

the first, last and only choice of the

LARGEST HOTEL IN THE WORLD
Chicago VIII Have New Hostelry
With 1172 Rooms for Guests.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-The permit for
the new La Sale Hotel, to be erected
at La Sale and Madison streets, has
been taken out. With the furnish
ings the hotel will represent an in
vestment of approximately $500, 900
and with the land, which was leased
on the basis of a value of $2,500, 900,
the total will run up to $4,000, 900.
A feature of interest, as showing
the sharp decline in the price of
building material, is the statement
that the present cost is placed at
nearly 100000 less than would have
been the case five or six months ago.
Tt is expected the work of construc-
tion will be begun some time between
March 1 and May 1, and that 10
months will be required to complete
1t. The building will be 22 stories
high, with two Easements, and, It is
said will be the larkest hotel build
ing in the world. It will contain L.

To be held up at the muzzle of two
loaded six-shooters and robbed of the
cash receipts of big days trade was
the Christmas eve experience of
Postmaster A. B. Stephens of Umatil-
la last evening.
While in his store and postoffice at
Umatilla last evening at o'clock. Mr..
Stephens and his sister-in-law, Miss
Ellen O'Connell, were confronted by
two thugs who wore no masks, but
who presented two 45-caliber six
shooters at them and commanded
them to throw up their hands.
Instead of complying with the gruff
demand Mr.. Stephens fell down be-
hind a counter and rolled himself
through a partly open door into an
adjoining room and Immediately gave
the alarm to ]. w. Duncan. While
stephens and Duncan were discussing
what to do, as neither of them had
arms the robbers compelled Miss
O'Connell to open the till and count
the contents which amounted to 1926
in gold and silver and in the darkness
made their escape.
The postoffice safe in which large
amount of government money was on
hand was not molested. but had the
robbers succeeded in covering Mr.
stephens. it is his belief that they
would have forced him TO open the
safe. His presence of mind in fall
ing behind the counter and making a
hurried exit from the store by rolling
on the floor, he believes, has saved
him several hundred dollars.
Mr.. stephens declares that he
thought some of his friends about the
little town were perpetrating a Christ
mas joke upon him when the. robbers
entered and commanded him to throw
up his hands. At the time he was in
his private office at one side of the
store building and on hearing the
command he stepped out to see who
was playing the prank but was sur
prised to be confronted with two large
s!x-shooters pointed at him at close
range.
Miss O'Connell, who was in the
store at the time Immediately COM
piled and put her hands up high, but
Mr.. Stephens instinctively dropped
to the floor and in the twinkling of
an eye had rolled into an adjoining
room and rushed into j. w. Dun
cans kitchen to secure a gun.
A few minutes later when Steph-
ems and Duncan returned to the store
the robbers had fled and no trace of
them could be found until later in
the night when Marshal Pete Tilson
arrested a man who answers the
description of one of the robbers and
who is now being held awaiting ac-
tion of the district attorney.
At noon today no other arrests had ?
been made. The fellow under arrest
wears a sweater and resembles one
of the robbers so closely that Mr.
stephens believes they have the right
man. When arrested he was in a
saloon waiting to take train out of
Mr.. Stephens says that yesterday,
being Christmas eve was one Of the
biggest days OF the week and he had
an unusually large sum of cash in
the til. Had the robbers waited un-
til few minutes later this sum would
have been locked in the safe.
Mr.. Stephens came to this city this
morning and has been in conference
with the district attorney and sheriff
today.

Pitcher for Custer, Shoemaker pitching
for Pringle after the fifth inning.
Custer won the game in the fourth
and fifth innings, when Stanton lost
control of the ball and was batted hard.
Everyone hit the ball and practically
everyone scored. as there seemed no
difficulty in stealing bases. In fact base
stealing was so simple that a hit was
never needed to advance runner from
first to third. Some errors were made
by our local team, but only one, an
overthrow to first, was costly, this being
directly responsible for three of the six
Pringe scores. Heidepriem's pitching
was worthy of special notice, twenty
men being struck out by him.
All things considered, the game was
