He Comes Back and Gets Out

CENTRALIA, Wash, March 23.-Jo-

rooming house. was called from the
parlor of the house where he was con-
versing with the landlady, Mrs. A.
Fleming, at II o'clock last Thursday
night, by a young man rooming there.
At the foot of the stairs a trio of men
gagged and blindfOlded him, and took
him to the Gate City railroad track,
where they threatened to bind him to
the rails and leave him. They then
took him to the Skookumchuck bridge
and placed him at the edge saying they
would push him into the stream, about
20 feet below. AS he failed to beg for
mercy they tied him across a log and
gave him a severe whipping. When
they released him he was told to leave
and not come back to town. He came
back however, and at once caused the
arrest of the young man who called
him from the room. He had failed to
recognize the other three.

Evening
Chit.Chat
by PATRICIA ANpATTEN

How true it is that by her carriage
woman is known. We pass a girl
on the street who walks with quick
springy steps and buoyant air, her
chin held high, eyes sparkling and we
instinctively class her as a person of
some ability or consequence in life
Again, we meet a woman who fairly
shuffles along with a humble, apollo
getic air, head low and eyes downcast,
and we at once size her up as either
a poor downtrodden creature, or one
sadly lacking in life and spirit.
Often the gown will seem to actually
affect the spirit of the wearer. 1 have
seen a young woman IN a sloppy ging-
ham dress run hastily around to the
corner grocery with the most common
and slack air. And again the same
woman in a ball gown would assume
queenly tread and regal air that was
good to see.
1t is not so much the quality or style
Of a garment as the way it is worn
that gives an individual an air Of dis
tinction. A Partisan shop girl win wear
her simple black gown with such chic
and grace that you will forget the
goods is only of cotton. Her erect
little figure will show poise and her
dainty, alert step will betoken the con-
fidence of one who knows that she is
a picture pleasant to look at.
The girl who has round, stopped
shoulders admits to the world that
she is too lazy to care how she looks
to take the pains to stand WELL A
brisk daily walk taken in cold or warm
weather will do much to improve ones
carriage. Hold the chest high by deep
breathing from the diaphragm One
would think half the women one meets
were in the last stages of consumption
judging from their fiat, caved-in- chests
These may seem but trifies, but it is
the little things by which we are meas
ured. Many a really fine woman has
been harshly judged by the world
merely because of the slow, aimless
fashion in which she walked or the
awkward, uneasy manner in which she
carried herself

PEACH AND APRICOT CROP
ON SNAKE is HARD HIT

SPOKANE, March 23.-The peach

iously injured by the severe cold
weather in January, and the yield OF
these fruits is estimated at from 20
to IS per cent of the normal crop.

some orchards, I understand, is esti-
mated at not more than 20 per cent.
Peaches are not hurt as badly as april

cHEMAWA SCHOOL
FUGITIVE BROWNS.
Tries to Cross Tualat;n River, Lesky
Boat Sinks With Him.

CHEMAWA, Ore, March 23.-Four
Alaska Indian boys ran away from the
Indian school Saturday, and were To-
Gated near Wilsonville yesterday. The
au horities of the school apprehended
them at Tualatin and after being cap
tured, while walking along the streets
to Tualatin, Charles Wal. on, an Alas
kan, one of the number, broke and ran.
He made through the brush for the
Tualatin river where, finding an Cd
boa, he attempted to cross, padding
with his hands. When half way across
the boat sank and he attempted to
swim ashore, but being weighted with
clothing and heavy shoes, was unable
to do so and was carried to the bottom.
His body was recovered, but life was
extinct The coroner was notified, but
said an inquest was unnecessary His
body was returned to the school last
evening on the Oregon Electric.

AANSkA NOT DEAD;
HE'S A LOGGER AT
MILL CITY, OREGON

COLFAX Wash, March 23.-John
Hanska, the Winona rancher who dis
appeared suddenly from his ranch
April % of last year, was not muir
dered for his money, as was thought
to be his fate by the authorities who
have been in search of him. Hanska
last week wrote to Henry Troub, of
Colfax, who owns land adjoining his,
asking Mr.. Troub to pay taxes on his
land and send him the bill. He was
working in a saWmill at Mill City.
Ore, he SAID He gave no reason for
his sudden departure. His brother,
Frank Hanska, of Yukon, Okla, came
west in search of him, mad paid all
claims against the ranch and was of
the belief his brother had been muir
dered, as he had $4,000, which he had
received as his snare of an estate, and
no record could be found of it's deposit
or investment. On April % Hanska
prepared seed potatoes and vegetables
for planting and turned his horses in
the pasture for the night, and the
letter is the first that has been heard
of him since.

GOODBYE, TEDDY.

With all the nation today, we eX-
claim "Goodbya. Teddy may God be
with you At noon today, Theodore
Roosevelt, who has just released the
reins Of government, and who has
been one of the most potent factors in
the recent development of the United
States, sailed from New York pier
to hunt in the wilds of Africa. Much
has been said and the we'll beloved
man has been cartooned from one end
of the country to the other. He has
been criticized. he has been advised,
he has been warned. But through 1t
all has shown the love born him by
the great American people. Fearless
in this expedition as he has been in
other things, he has taken only the
advice of men whom. he knew were
we'll informed. He has taken his own
way. the way that the people Of the
nation have generally found to be the
risht way.
There are many who say that the
eX-president can never endure the
climate of Africa. There were many
who said he could never endure the
second term as president in the face
OF the opposition Of the trusts. He
will come back, that every man who
loves him feels certain. He is needed
and he knows he is needed, and he
will take no unnecessary risks.
The expedition is not to be merel!

the work rapidly and watch it closely.
He appraises it's Importance both from
the large and the small points Of

undertaking and controlling the work,

Nothing under the direction of the
war department is half so important

There are no pressing questions in

canal as proposition gets bigger and
bigger every year and will need all of
the attention that can be given it.

FIuIPiNoS FEAR
TARIFF PROBLEM.
Believe Closer Trade Relations May
Affect Future Independence.

MANILA, March 23.-The Philippine
assembly is considering formally the
tariff legisla ion now pending in Wash
ington. 1t is planned to take up the
question tomorrow and to embody the
views of the assembly in a set of reso-
lutions which will be forwarded to the
Filipino representatives in Washing on
1t is expected that these proposed res
olutions will oppose any action of con-
gross tending in any way to alter the
trade relations between the Philippines
and the United States. 1t is manifest
that a majority of the members of the
assembly fear that closer trade rela-
tons will lead to closer political rela-
tions, which will interfere with the ul-
innate independence of The islands
They also fear that the losses to is
land revenue by free trade would enc
the financial independence of the gov
ernmen. and compel it to appeal to be
placed under the direct control Of con-
gress, thus lessening the assembly
voice in insular affairs.

FARMERS FRET AT
o. w. p. LINES TIME
Rose City Extension Along the Sandy
Road Would Slice 80
q Minutes.

= CLECNE, Ore, March 23.-The peo-
pie of Fairview and along the Sandy
road are des4rous of having the Rose
City car line extended since the ex-
of speedier service and cheaper rates
in addition to increasing the value Of
property and promoting business in
terests.
The resent trip over the circuitous
o. w. P. route requires on hour and
20 minutes, with wait of about 20
minutes at zimmerman Junction,
whereas the extended Rose City line
would furnish 40 minute direct SER
vice to Portland.
In all probability the route of the
extended line will be along the Sandy
road. In this case, it is said, the
farmers will cooperate with the coun-
ty in the matter Of right of way.
The section of the country which
the line would tap is expected to de-
velop rapidly within the next four
years. Many improvement are beiaC
made on all the farms along the
Sandy road and the stump land is he
Ing cleared UP. On the advent of the
electric line it is expected that many
Of the large farms will be cut up and
sold in small tracts.
The farms lying along the proposed
extension are notably prosperous and
the land, on account of it's fertility
and the absence Of gravel and rocks,
is considered very valuable. The Jap
anese have leased hundreds of acres
at prices ranging from SIS to $50 per
acre.
