Rabbits Invade Willamette Vallev.-

haOOltS INVADE willamette ValleV,-j
Monroe, Ore-In a recent dispatch
from Salem, mention is made OF the
fact that the black-tailed jack rab-
bit has just made its initial appear
ance in the Willamette valley. Ben
ton and Lane counties are ovverrun
with these pests, and have been for
four or five years. In many instances
outside gardens are practically de-
stroyed by them, and on account of
the lay Of the land, 1t is going to
be difficult task to get rid Of them.
II is only matter of time until
some action will have to be taken
by the valley farmers to exterminate
these animals, or turn their ranches
over to the rabbits. Dogs chase
them through the grain and destroy
great quantities.. while the rodents
themselves cut down large areas of
growing wheat and oats and make
runways through what Is left. 60

man who tries to learn his bread by
the sweat of his brow" Thousands

TO CHECK RECKLESS
AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS

Reckless automobile drivers Will
have to cut down their speed on the
boulevard turns next year, or the
hospitals will be very busy.
Park Commissioner Hinchman has
about decided TO adopt q Chicago idea
here in planting iron posts in the
roadway at the angles OF the boule-
ward so that II will be necessary for
drivers TO slacken speed unless they
want 20 smash their machines. Red
lights will be placed on top OF these
posts for use at night as warning.
These portions OF the boulevard are
now in q sad state, as q result OF the
speeding done. Autoists swing round
the corners at a rapid rate and. In al
doing, tear up the surface OF the road
Resurfacing will have to be done at
practically eli the corners this year
and II is probable that a hard pave
ment will be used at these places
instead OF the macadam.

JUDGE FIRES DRUNKEN
JUROR FROM PANEL

Well have to show your husband
that this Is no monkey business. When
man is called for jury work he has
no business getting drunk"
Judge Rohnert was addressing Mrs
Ashley, wife OF Harry w. Ashley. OF
No. Sol Poplar-st.. circuit court jur-
or In the case Of Lottie Gehringer
against the ID. U. R.. who. when court
assembled Monday afternoon, was
found in the. corridors, drunk.
Mrs. Ashley was In court TO report
to the Judge that In going home, Mon
day night, her husband either fell
from a car or was struck by one, he
didn't know which. and was badly
bruised on the head and hip. being I'M
able TO appear, Tuesday.
When II was found that Ashley was
in no condition to serve on jury he
was put to sleep In q locker room. He
did not reach home until 10 o'clock
at night, his wife said, and then he
was covered with blood. Mrs. Ashley
pleaded with the Judge to be lenient
with her husband, that he did not
drink very much. and one or two
drinks are sufficient to put him to
the bad. She said they had no money
TO pay a fine.
We'll. you can tell your husband
that he has lost his job on the jury,
and I'll want him any more I will send
a sheriff after him, and perhaps put
him In jail for WHILE" Judge Rohn-
ert told the woman. and she left the
court weeping.

CHARITY FETE
is ARRANGED
HOUSE OF PROVIDENCE WILL
HOLD BAZAAR, LASTING
WEEK. IN WAYNE PAVILION.

Arrangements have been practically
completed for the big chrysanthemum
fete and bazaar for the benefit OF the
new House OF Providence hospital
which Is being erected on West Grand
boulevard. The affair will be given
In the Wayne pavilion and will last
week, beginning Monday evening, Nov.
80. with promenade concert. Con-
gresham DENLY and Mayor Thompson
have been invited TO be present at the
opening and deliver addresses. and a
special program OF music and other
entertainment will be provided for
each evening.
AS there will be an informal dance
the first evening. the admission has
been placed at so cents. but during
the remainder OF the week, the nom
inal fee Of ten cents will be charged.
Each evening will be given over TO
one or more OF the various charitable
organizations. and II il expected that
members will attend at that time.
While the members OF nearly every
Catholic church in the city Is taking
an active part in the bazaar, dona-
tons have been received from busi-
ness men. irrespective OF creed, as the
institution Is non-sectarian. The Al
ma Mater society OF Windsor has also
taken a booth and the ladies OF the
border town are assisting materially
with the work. Tuesday, and Satur-
day evenings. the Seventh regiment
band will furnish the music.
The idea Is prevalent In some places
that only those who have been person
ally invited are expected TO take an
active part in the bazaar, but the la
dies in charge are anxious that any
one who has the time to devote 10 this
charity, will attend the meetings and
do what she can to further the inter
ests OF the work.
Mrs. Miles. OF the Miles Business
college, has contributed a scholarship
TO either a young man or woman. and
II is expected to dispose Of this by
voting for the popular girl or boy.

will be held in the home on Elizabeth

giving.

BY r. c. SHOTWELL.

NEW YORK, Nov. l7.-PrOIeSSiou'
al traders were astonishel this morn
ing when Union Pacific opened with
block of $500 shares at 1872 81. a
new high record for the year and an
advance over night OF l 3-S points.
This caused a wild scramble through
out the list and everything moved
briskly to high levels for few min
utss. Southern Pacific sold at llS IA,
Steel at 81 "a, Rock Island preferred
at 81 and other stocks accordingly.
The public remained faithful and con-
tinued to absorb stocks but refused
to sell In spite of the desperate at
tempts on the part OF the profession
ais to raise q specter OF war In Ger
many. II Is probable that the German
people are not half 50 anxious over
the emperor's conduct OF the empire
as are the Wall-st. bears who are not
only losing their money trying TO find
the top OF the market, but also losing
their nerve.
The street reports today were that
an announcement would be made in
connection with Southern Pacific pre-
ferred stock In about week.
The traction shares are being ma
nipulated and foundations are being
laid for one OF the greatest crimes of
the century. These stocks are to be
advanced sharply and unloaded on
the public. Purchase Of a share OF
PETERBOROUGH metropolitan or OF Third
Ave- Is exactly the same as to bet on
a horse race. Long odds are being
offered and these stocks are being
considered a splendid gamble.
On the curb market silver mining
shares were under leadership OF La
Rose, Nipissing and Mckinley Oar
ragh. It Is reported that Cobalt Cen
trar has made another rich strike In
the Big Foot Goldfield shares were
inactive.
Copper stocks were dull on the curb
and on the inside market. A few
minutes before the end Of the first
hour, Union Pacific sold at lS3 and
Southern Pacific at 118 1-2.
In London Americans were lower
when New York opened. but toward
the close abroad, prices hardened and
n general, advance was seen In the list
Around midday new high records
were made In Duluth. South Shore and
Atlantic preferred. at 81; Union Pa
cific. 1873 IA; Reading. 141 IA; Allis
Chalmers preferred at so; the com
mon at l47-S, and Rock Island pre-
ferred at 511-4. There was heavy
selling OF Steel common, but the
price yielded only fractionally. In the
early afternoon a reaction carried
prices down an average Of point, but
there was a quick recovery.
