Says He Was SIugged.-William
Harris, a young man who is porter at
one of the local hotels, is locked up at
the county Jail while the authorities
are investigating several strange
things which are worth looking up in
connection with his case. Wednesday
evening Harris came into the police
station with a big Jag on" and re-
ported to the night police that he had
been touched" for SIS by his pal who
has disappeared. Shortly after being
locked up at the station, the police
say, Harris went completely wrong,
and acted like a crazy man. The
police did what they could for him in
his intoxicated condition, but he was
taken over to the padded cell at the
county Jail and locked up. He sober
ed up finally and was taken down
among the other prisoners. After he
sobered up he told the same story
of being slugged and robbed of SIS.
He says he had just been paid his
wages of $40, and had gone out for a
time" He claims that his pal,
whose name the police have, slugged
him first on the head and then on the
jaw and knocked him down.

OUEBEC'S GREAT FETE.
Notable Pageant Planned for Her Ter
centennial Celebration,

centennial CeleDTdtiOn.
For the greatest pageant of modern
times, that to be given next July on
the scene of Wolfe and Montcalm's
bloody fight on the heights of Quebec.
when the city observes the tercente
nary celebration of the founding of the
settlement. 5000 performers are now
being recruited in Quebec, Montreal
and Ottawa. They will shortly com
mence their rehearsals and drill under
the direction of Frank Lascelles, who
was the master of the oxford pageant
last year and who has gone to Quebec
at the special invitation of his friend,
Earl Grey. governor general of Can
ada.
There is no other such stage in the
world for dramatic pageantry as the
Plains of Abraham" said Mr. Las
ceiles to Quebec correspondent Of
the Chicago Record Herald. where
the grandeur of the natural scenery
defies description and where the 10000
spectators on the grand stand. facing
the st. Lawrence 500 feet below, at a
point where Wolfe's highlanders clam
bered up the heights. will be able to
see at the grand finale of the perform
ance the combined navies of three
great powers, consisting of twenty to
thirty men-of-war, appearing on the
scene 60 fire a deafening salute to the
past, the present and the future of the
Canadian nation.
1.-The spectacle will be given in vthe
crown, the vice president of the United
States and the representatives of the
president of the French republic and
of the families of the French and Eng
fish generals who met there in mortal
combat q century and half ago"
Mr.. Lascelles has been asked to ex-
plain what the coming pageant will be
like, what historic scenes are to be
portrayed and how they are to be rep
resented in the great open air drama.
This in part is what he said:
From the foot of his statue. where
stands for all time the bronze figure
of the great Champaign, stepping
ashore, as it were. as he did so long
ago to take possession of this new
country of the west, the Prince of
Wales and Mr.. Fairbanks, with other
illustrious guests. will see pass in pro-
cession before them all the great men
and women who have made Canada
what it is. and later on, on the Plains
of Abraham, they will see the living
pictures of the great events of those
early days.

summer we shall see again. as Cartier
saw nearly 400 years ago, cluster of

FOREST FIRES.
The Watchful Rangers and the Way
They Fiqht the Flames,

In almost any of the western noun
tains the traveller sees the fire warn
ings of the forest service, and he Is
likely to meet some of the rangers.
You will find them crossing the high
SierraS in California, in the Crazy
mountains of Montana, among the
Olympics in Washington or following
the old Apache trails along the mesaS
in Arizona. Wherever he is. the ranger
keeps keen lookout for the smoke of
forest fires, and in the clear western
atmosphere even n little smoke column
can be detected from afar. As soon as
he discovers it the ranger takes his AK
and shovel and goes as only a western
horse and rider can. Many small fires
are stopped by this watchfuiness, but
there are others which take many men
many hours to subdGe. A fire in a
ehaparral so thick that man can
hardly force his way through it and
parched by six months of drought
makes hard and trying fighting. Then
there are fires in the big timber among
the dead trees of old windfalls and
overhead fires that spread faster than
a man can run. If unchecked, they
will burn for weeks over thousands o.
acres of timber.
And all this destruction may be caus-
ed by a carelessly left campfire or q
match dropped from horseback. The
sheep men used TO set the forest on
fire purposely, for the year after a fire
the burned acres yield fine forage.
Happily this practice is discontinued.
Sparks from locomotives now set more
fires within the national forests than
any other cause Camping parties are
the next worst offenders. Indians,
stockmen, miners and lumbermen who
travel continually in the forests very
seldom leave campfires to spread and
do damage. They know too we'll the
, results. For time almost every year
the citizens of Portland. Ore, lose sight
of some of the great mountains around
the city on account of the smoke from
the burning forests. There is little
doubt that since the white man settled
in the west more timber has been use
lessly burned than has been cut and
used.-Arthur w. Page in Worlds
Work.

Police Arrest Hazers.-It begins to
appear that the prolonged class fight

rather serious appearances during the
last week has gone a little too far,

four boys who were principals or par

has been shaved on one or both sides
of the heads of members of both
classes by other classmen who cap

solitude and trimmed their locks and
in several instances the clippers have
been run through the middle of the
hair leaving a bare streak in what
was thick head of hair. Clothes
have been torn and families disturbed
during the quiet hours of the night
by the hooting and bowling of boys
on the streets. But that is not all. 1t

THE hide SHOULD
GO WITH TIE TALLow

County Auditor Allen is doing his
best to convince the people that he
alone Is responsible for the increased
valuation of some of the railroads.
According to his statements the peo-
pie have been waiting for years for
him to get into office, so these valu-
ations upon the tax duplicate could
be increased. Mr.. Allen must have
forgotten that the auditor of every
county through which the railroad
passes has a say in the valuation of
the lines. Instead of being the whole
cheese, as he poses, he is only one
of dozen in some instances and a
score in others, of auditors who place
valuation for taxation upon the
railroads.
Mr.. Allen points with great pride
to the fact that he has increased the
valuation of the Erie railroad and the
G. d. & NJ. 1t must be remembered
that the Erie has made some remark
able improvements in Marion county
in the past few years, and 1t is only
right that the valuation should be
raised. When Mr.. Allen went into
the office the G. D. & NJ. was very
primitive. The road was new and
was not equipped with rolling stock
as II is now. 1t is only right that
its valuation for taxation should be
increased. Any other auditor would
have favored increasing the valua-
ton OF the railroads, just as Mr.. AL
len favored it, when the auditors met
to place the valuation. 1t would have
done him no good to stand out
against the increase anyway, for the
other auditors on the appralslng
board would have increased the val
uation without him.
But, If Mr.. Allen persists in claim
