PORTLAND HAS
ANOTHER FACIN
NOTORIOUS EX-C0NvICT UNDER
ARREST FOR BEING TUTOR TO
BAND OF CRIMINAL YOUTHS
OPERATING IN CITY.

PORTLAND, Feb. 5.-Alleged to
have acted as tutsr to a band of
criminal youths barely out of their
teens, whose operations embraced
nearly everything in the calendar of
cri,ae from highway robbery to
burglary, Charles E. Sleigh, alias
schely, notorious ex-convict, who
has served sentences for felonies in
four western penitentiaries, was
brought back from Sea View, Wash
ington this morning by Deputy c.
e. Baty, to stand trial for compile
ity in a series of daring burglaries,
saws the Telegram.
Sligh's arrest is the result of con-
LESSONS secured from John Rydman,
Row Somers, Frank Dennison and
John j. Kelly, the quartette of all
legged house berakers who were ar
rested by Detectives He'lyer and
Maloney in a shack at Seventh and
Everett streets early this month on
charges of larceny in a dwelling.

having been bound over to the grand
jury by Judge Cameron in the
sum of $4,000 each. Kelly's case in
the police court was continued in
definitely on the motion of the Dept
ty district attorney, and although
the police deny the report, it is
rumored has some kind of an ''im
munity contract" with the authori-
ties. In the house wherein the four
men were arrested was found a large
quantity of plumber which was sub
sequent'y identified as having been
stolen.
Sligh's connection with the gang
IS right in line with the exploits of
Fagin, Dickens famous character
study, under whose tutelage imma-
tuer youths were coached in Grimm
al methods and instructed in the art
of larceny. According to the con
fessions secured by the police Sigh
in his capacity of leader of the
organized gang formulated the pans
for the rifling of dwellings. The
detectives avere that one of Sigh
would select the house
to be entered and the ex-convict,
after "'sizing up" the crib, would is
sue orders as to the best method of
an entrance, the most OPP
perfume time for the consummation
of the crime and the class of loot to
be taken.

HEPPNER FARMERS
WELL HEELED
CROPS WERE GOOD IN MORROW
COUNTY SHEEP INDUSTRY
GROWING RAPIDLY.

''Sheepmen will sell their wool
when offered a good price for it,
but wheatraisers hold off for still
better offer and run the risk of
getting less" said G. A. Rhea, presi-
dent of the Heppner National bank.
He has just returned from Portland
after disposing OF his 700 acre
wheat crop, at what he considers
good figures.
"But many of our farmers have
refused to sell when they could get
rs cents a bushel,' he says" and
now the buyers are not offering so
much. Fully two-thirds of the
wheat crop of Morrow county is in
the warehouses. unsold, the farmers
farmers being well healed with
cash and entirely out of debt.
''The county will realize fully
81. 100000 out of its 1907 wheat
crop at going prices, and this will
render the present good times even
better than they now are. The
whole prairie section around Hepp-
ner that used to be utilized as sheep
pasture, is now under cultivation,
and even the steepest hills are be-
ing plowed up this season to be
later on sowed with wheat
At the same time there are still
100000 head of sheep within the
boundaries Of Morrow county, al
though the farmers have taken up
such large proportion of the for
mer pasture At one time we had
10000 sheep in the same area but
the sheep are rapidly disappearing
before the advance Of the plow. -

GREAT FLORIDA
FAIR OPENS
ONLY WINTER STATE FAIR IN
THE UNITED STATES WILL BE
VISITED BY THOUSANDS OF
TOURISTS DURING MONTH.

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 5. With
great throngs of spectators crowd
ing the grounds the Florida State
Fair was inaugurated today and will
remain open during the month. AS
the only state fair to be held in the
United States during the winter 1t
will be visited by thousands of tour
lists who flock to this section every
year to escape the rigid winters of
the north and west.
Many prominent men are expected
to visit the fair during the month
and deliver addresses, among them
William Jennings Bryan, Governor
Hoke Smith of Georgia, Governor
Joseph Folk of Missouri, and others.
Among the novel features at the
fair is the famous air ship, Eagle,
which won the prize and a diamond
medal at great international con-
test in Chicago. This airship which
will make daily flights at Tampa a.
so made a wonderful record in the
recent race from st. Louis to the At
lantic coast, being prevented from
winning over foreign balloons by an
acc 'dent.
The horse racing will be infinitely
better than that at former fairs, as
evinced by the fact that 800 runner
will be brought from New Orleans,
the racing center of the south. Tam
pa has been admitted into member
ship in the National Racing associ-
alton, which is guarantee that
every race will be absolutely
"straigh - and that the meeting
will be conducted in a most up to
date manner.
One of the finest features of the
fair will be the horse show, which
will be on much finer scale than
that of last November. Cash pre-
miums will be given in each class
shown, and the finest saddle, har-
A0oe anu VI duSnI uOISSS III Iue SIdLe
will be exhibited.
A feature of the fair which will
undoubtedly attract great attention
among the agriculturists, hortocul-
turists and fruit growers will be
the daily lectures to be given by the
experts from the agricultural de-
partment at Washington.
Beginning with the inaugural ex-
ercises on the grounds today, there
will be something doing every day at
the big fair until the gates close on
February 20.

Is the new woman about to capture
Turkey? During the recent political
agitation the unheard Of spectacle was
to be seen at Salonica of a woman of
rank, the wife Of young Turk, para
ding unveiled through the streets with
q banner, to the delight of her hus-
bands partisans. At Monastir many
women, bent on political errands, tray
eled about alone.
If this Is to be the result OF con-
stitutional movement, what is to be-
come of the prophets strict command
against women showing their faces In
public? Gone will be the poets dream
of the dark-eyed beauties of Circassia
leading lives of Incidence behind the
screens of the mysterious harem. II
the daughters OF the near east, like the
daughters Of Nippon, are to adopt the
fashions of Paris, go in for political
economy, suffragism, socialism and
small families, like British fashion
ables, and start women's clubs, plat
form campaigns and summer college
courses like their American sisters, a
whole world of tradition and romance
will soon disappear.

A bachelor rector of western
church was alone in his study wher
his housekeeper brought him the caro-
of one of his parishioners, a spinstel
of means and charm.
When the lady was seated on the CD
posite side Of his study table the rector
looked at her inquiringly, expecting to
hear something concerning parish work
i'm which she was active. To his sur.
PRISE an embarrassed silence ensued
during which he vainly sought for some
thing to say.

last i'm faltering tones, do you think

resolutely.

Flushing a Sign Of Sense.

Sir Arthur Mitchell, X. c. B., OF
Edinburgh, who knows much that is
strange about dreams, laughter and
other commonplace human Characters
tics. has just advanced the consoling
theory that blushing is an achievement
of which every one who can blush
should be proud.
He says it requires brains to blush.
Idiots cannot blush, neither can ami
mails. Sir Arthur calls attention to the
fact that tiny infants do not blush, al
though they learn to at an early age,
just as soon, in fact, as the brain be-
gins to exercise its functions. In blush
Ing he says, the mind always must be
affected. 1t is always and only a
bodily expression of a mental state. 1t
is a natural thing for blusher to say
that he had tried not to blush. No in
dividual bushes of his own free will.
The blush arises without call instan-
taneOusly and vanishes almost as quick
ly. Neither for its coming nor its GO
ing is there any exercise of vOlitiOn. 1t
is controlled, Sir Arthur says, solely
by the brain, and is positive sign
that there is an active brain there.

Sufferers from corns or sensitive feet
always dread hot weather, as feet are
peculiarly susceptible to climatic
changes. One woman who has had
trouble with corn and callous places
on the soles of her feet for years says
that she was always uncomfortable
from the time spring began until she
learned to use wet congresses. When
ever her feet begin to sting and burn
or her corn got sharp twinges she would
tie up her feet in cold congresses over
night. To make them she wrung out of
ice water thick Turkish wash cloths
and folded them in double folds over
her feet. Over them she placed dry
towels and thin piece Of rubber to
shut IN the moisture and prevent the
bed from getting damp. In the morning
the corn and callous spots were free
from pain and soft enough to have the
tops lifted out. The congresses were
worn for two or three nights, until the
entire trouble was removed.

Not enough attention is paid to the
falls Of childhood. Mothers get so used
to children tumbling around that they
take it quite lightly unless bones are
broken. 1t should be remembered that
injuries to the soft bones Of a child may
do permanent harm, especially If there
be a head hurt. Keep the child quiet
for a time who has had hard fall,
battle the part freely with some sooth-
ing lotion, and if there seems to be
trouble that does not yield to simple
home remedies, send for a doctor at
once.

TOO What did he want with such

go into the bankruptcy court and wants
to show his creditors where his money
has been dropped. We often get such
requests and are usually able to fill
them"

Health and Beauty Hints.

Almond meal, instead of soap, used
on the hands will stop perspiration.
The chest and bust can probably be
developed more quickly by deep breath
ing than by any other method.
For burns and scalds--Cover with
olive oil, then coat with the white OF
an egg. This is very beneficial.
For a bad breath hold listerine and
water in the mouth as long as possible.
Gargle with listerine after meals.
If any member of the family is very
sick at the stomach beat up the white
of an egg and let him swallow it. lt
acts like charm.
Washing the eyes morning and night
In water as hot as it can be borne is
a wonderful tonic for those useful
servants which are so easily injured.
For a slight cut there is nothing bet
ter to control the hemorrhage than COM
mon nnglaZed paper, such as is USED oy
grocers and market men. Bind piece
on the cut.
Pineapple Juice is good for cleaning
stains out of the hands. 1t should De
well rubbed in, left for few minutes
and then thoroughly washed with
plenty of soap and warm water.
For thick lids mop the place under
the eye with spirits of camphor night
and morning, letting it dry on. Also
wet the lids, taking care that none of
the spirits gets into the eye itself.
To prevent bed sores and to insure q
comfortable bed for invalids, make
pillow that will reach from shoulder
to hips, not too WIDE of some smooth
material, such as sateen, etc.. I'LL with
whole fiaxseeds. This will never lump
or get hot or in any way uncomfortable
Not the least unpleasant, by any
means, of the ills attendant upon
cold is the uncomfortable, unbecoming
cold sore or fever blister. If taken in
time its further development can often
be stopped by the application of a bit
of alum. Moisten this End rub gently
but thoroughly over the spot.
IL you have been a victim OF colds
with the approach Of winter stop to
consider the cause, In nine times out
Of ten it will be found that you are
afraid of fresh air. Keep your windows
up as far as they will go at night
and the more windows you have the
better chance will there be that you

A poultice of witch hazel is often
very soothing to n muscular pain and

Serge is to retain its restored popu-
larlty, and In plain, herringbone and
dence among the new tailored costumes,
as will the wide-wale diagonals, which
gained firm hold upon feminine fancy
in the late spring season.
There are many good neck trim
mings, chief among which will be
found the tiny thick ruches of tullc,
followed by narrow plated ones os
silk, heading silk stocks worn under
fragile lace collars. Smart dressers
are wearing quilted ones like the Wat
teau ruche, and on evening dress will
be found a cleverly arranged ruche Of
small flowers mounted on tulle.
The beauty of many of the new
striped materials will protract the
vogue of the stripe, but in suitings the
vague, indefinite plaid and check de-
signs are newer and are receiving more
favorable attention in Paris. Beauti-
full color combinations and designs are
shown in these new plaids, the blend
ing often being SO subtle that at a
short distance the material looks al
most like one-tone color.
Charming evening wraps are made OF
plain white crepe de chine, cut on the
al,
neck with white silk cord. If 1t is
necessary to line the cape, nothing
could be better than liberty satin
in light shade. The fad for the
kimono and the mikado jackets seems
to be going out, and these ornate wraps
are replaced by simple capes Of silk,
satin and crepe.

In brushing garment that holds
lint and dust place it upon the ironing
board and sweep 1t with the whisk
broom, always in the direction of the
weave, which should be from the band
to the hem. Even this process will not
always insure a perfect clean skirt, for
the broom and brush scatter dust par
ticles, but you will meet with good re-
suits by going lightly over the goods
with a dry sponge. This sponge will
take up all pieces of lint. 1t can be
used to brush the collar and cuffs Of a
coat and is very convenient for dust
ing dandruff from a mans coat collar.

New Buttonhole Plan.

The extremely large buttons used on
coats end skirts have brought out a
new way of cutting the buttonholes.
for now, instead of being just a
straight slit, vertical or horizontal.
they slant upward, and the button is
sewed so that the lower end of the but
tonhole just reaches. This is quite an
improvement. for buttons can not easily
slip out of these holes.

You will notice that you are very de-
pressed and sad, that your blood Is
sluggish and that your digestion Is all
wrong. The reason Of this Is that IN
your moment of anger YOU expended
three or four times the ordinary
amount Of bodily tissue. AS conse-
quence you can not be yeur normal SELF
until the overdrawn tissue Is replaced.
You will note that people with very bad
tempers never live very long, the ex-
cessive drafts upon the physical make
up eventually exhausting the latter. A
certain amount Of reasonable anger,
however, acts upon the system as a
vertable tonic.

Empire Evening Gown.

For this good-loOking gown one OF
the many beautiful lowered robes now
so much i'm demand was employed. Our
sketch shows the effectiveness of design
on front of skirt as well as the clever
arrangement on bodice. The short
WASTED girdle is of soft satin ribbon
fastened on left side under bow which
has long tasseled ends just below depth.
