Meanwhile, Engineer Murphy in

F. W. Hanna, another reclamation

BLUFF CAVES DOWN
ON NEWPORT STORE

Newport, ore, Feb. 1G.-Saturday
evening about o'clock a land slide
occurred here that nearly wiped out
Of existence the home Of Captain
George Tyler, from which Captain
Tyler and family were fortunate
enough to escape with their lives.
Captain Tyler's home and place Of
business is located on Front street,
just below a high bluff. About s
o'clock soon after Mrs. Tyler had
put the children to bed in a room in
the upper story. and was sitting with
Captain Tyler in a front room on tho
ground floor, which is used as mu-
sic store, the top of the bluff caved
off and swept down on their home
like an avalanche with a roaring
crash The kitchen and dining room
in the rear Of the building were de-
molished and buried out of sight and
the storeroom was partly filled.

PARR AND GASTON
FOUND GUILTY
JURY RETURNED VERDICT
IN HALF AN HOUR
Prosecuting Witness Testified That
Money Equal to Amount Stolen
From Him Was Dropped Into His
Pocket While In Law Office-Tes-
tlmony Not Rcfutcd by Defense.

After being out but 35 minutes the
jury in the case of Of Joe Parr and
Sam Castor, charged with robbing
Joe Wilcox, brought in a verdict Of
guilty this forenoon. They will be
sentenced later by Circuit Judge
Bean.
Parr and CASTOR, both Of whom are
half breeds, were charged with hold
ing Wilcox up at the point Of a gun
in the old Merchants Cafe on Main
street. They robbed him Of $50.
The case against Parr and CASTOR
was brought to a conclusion early
Ia the forenoon. District Attorney
Phelps made a brief summary Of the
case for the state, but the attorneys
for the defense refrained from argu-
ing. Judge Bean then charged the
jury and they retired to deliberate.
Thirty-five minutes later the verdict
of guilty was returned.
Money Was Returned.
While on the stand in the trial
Joe Wilcox declared that while he
was in the office of Attorneys Bailey
& Perry an amount of money, equal
to that stolen from him, was slipped
into his pocket. He kept this money
but it did not deter him from testify
ing in the case. No attempt at refut-
ing this testimony was made by the
defendant attorneys.

THE WORD "WINTER."
Sad to Have Originally Indicated
Wetness, Not Goodness.

There Is prevailing impression that
there is something in the word win
ter" that signifies cold, and the sea-
son Is usually associated with the idea
Of low temperature, but where the
word originated there was little Of
winter as we understand 1t, while
there was q great deal Of moisture at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, 80 that 1t Is not the temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given US the word.
The word winter" as we use It, is
found with but slight notifications in
all the branches Of the Aryan Ian
gUlages, for the idea Of wetness asso-
ciated with the season was given to 1t
before the Aryan family was divided.
If we go to the root Of the word we
find "wad," with the Specification Of to
well, to wash out, to moisten or make
wet. Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions Of
moisture, and many words besides
winter have grown out Of it, wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad" Is in the Sanskrit as
"udan," water. Anglo-Saxon has "wae-
teS" and in Latin we have "unda,"
wave, from which we get our "inun-
date"
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the wv" into "v" and have
"vinter." In Icelandlc 1t is "vetir,"
and the old high German has win
tar" and 1t is winter" in German.
These four words are all from the
Teutonic base "wata," which means
wet. So 1t has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth of the
root on which all Of the different words
in dozen languages have grown

DISAPPEARANCE A MYSTERY.
Oscar Sprague, Chehalis blacksmith
Missing Since January s.

Chehalis, Wash, Feb. 16.-Mys-
terry attaches to the disappearance
from Chehalis on January S Of Oscar
Sprague, a we'll known young black
smith of this city. Mrs. Sprague
thinks possibly her husband became
demented and went away during a
spell of melancholy. He started from
the house in the best of humor, how
ever. and there is no known reason
for his strange conduct. The last
seen Of Mr.. sprague in this city was
at Kitchells blacksmith shop on the
morning of January S. He left there
about 10 o'clock.
It has been reported that a man
answering his description was seen
in Tacoma the next day, but there
the trail ends. Sheriff Urquhart and
others have investigated various the
ories. Mr.. Sprague is 80 years old,
is stockily built, of medium height,
and smooth shaven. His family Is
greatly worried.

Helena. Mont, Feb. 1G.-With the

ernor Norris the state will be with
out any form of licensed gambling ex-

That the Norton anti-Japanese
memorial will be favorably reported
by the committee on labor in the
house seems certain from statements
made by members of the committee.
They will amend It slightly and in its
form the resolution asking
that the Chinese exclusion act be con-
tinued and extended to other Mongo-
lians will no doubt pass the house.
There is little possibility, however Of

Almost everybody knows there are

Nevertheless there is a plant, or, rath-
er, herb, growing here which is really
insectivorous.
1t is likely that on account Of its be-
ing extremely small II has escaped
attention. In fact, It seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find it classed
among the sensitive plants.
This is an annual herb, and the en-
tire plant, including the eowers, is OF
a deep rich red color 1t rarely reach

they have absorbed the insect they
