RESIDENTS SHOULD
 LOCATE FIRE PLUGS
A Practical Suggestion by Fire Chief
 Brackett-Contest Run is Scheduled.

That the residents of the city should know the nearest fire plug to their residence is a suggestion of timely i'm portance by Fire Chief Bracket The fire plugs have lately been installed and many of them are somewhat iso- lated and there is a possibility in case of a fire that several minutes would be lost in locating these plugs and at a time when minutes means a good many dollars. This is a very small matter; to know the nearest fire plug to ones residence and might be of considerable importance at any time
 The two fire departments are al ready planning a contest and consid- erable enthusiasm is being worked up as a result. The forces under the com mand of James Daley and NJ. r. Holla- day, respectively, are under the i'm pression that they are entitled to the best record. As soon as the hose carts arrive the contests will be inaugural ed
 In case of fire the first thing is to get the alarm to the central office of either telephone system as soon as possible. The operators will in turn notify the head of the departments at the Shattuck- Nimmo store.

Waived Preliminary Exam nation Was Unsuccess- full in Securing Bond for Three Huadred Dollars Held to the Grand Jury.

Walter Brundage. the son of Vim. C. Brundage a well known rancher living south of town, was arrested yesterday morning about II o'clock on q charge of burglary by Marshal Pet ersOn on a complaint sworn out by John Barnett. When arraigned before Justice Irwin the young man waived preliminary examination and his bond was fixed at $500 It is not known at this time whether he will be able to secure the required bOndsmen or not for his appearance before the grand jury The article stolen was an Elgin watch of the value of S60, taken from the Barnett drug store, on or about the 18th of July. The young man con fessed to taking the watch saying that he entered the store about 6:30 in the morning from the back way. He furth CT stated that the fob which was found with the watch he had taken from the Ellsworth store MT. Ellsworth iden- tified the fob as one he had had in stock The young man however. de- nied that he had broken into the store but said that he had just picked it up then in the store.
 Marshal Peterson called at the office of the Consolidated Telephone com pany yesterday morning where Brun- dage is employed as night operator. when he happened to see the watch. He impediately became suspicious upon learning that the time-piece was the property of Brundage. James Daley who is the local manager for the company added some intelligence to the clue and the officer took the watch number and went to the Barnett store Mir Barnett immediately stated that it was his watch. Marshal Peterson notified Deputy Sheriff Frank Vance of the affair and they began a search for Brundage. They presently saw him start up stairs toward the telephone office and followed him. They aeked him if he had a gold watch. He said that he had none. Marshal Peterson immediately informed him to the con- trary when he finally confessed. John Barnett immediately swore out com plaint. When accosted by Mir Bar nett the young man plead for leniency saying that he fully intended to return the watch yesterday morning but that he had been out on the evening pre- vious and had put it off.
 Brundage is twenty-One years of age and the charge is a serious one.

OREGON IS EXPECTING
 MR. HARRIMAN AGAIN
His Pelican Bay Home Being Made Ready for Him.

Portland. Aug. 6.-E H Hartman is expected to visit his hunting and fishing preserve on the Klamath Lakes in Southern oregon this fall upon his return from Europe. Ar engagements are being made at Pelican Bay to receive him and nothing k being left undone to add to his com fort.
 Chief among the preparations is the installation of q model dairy that will furnish pure milk and cream for the magnate and his friends. for he usu- ally brings a party with him on his visits to his hunting lodge. When he was at Pelican Bay last September he was unable to get a daily supply of fresh milk and cream. This defect is now being remedied and rush or ders have been placed for all the ma terials and stock necessary to fit up a complete dairy.
 Since MT. Harriman's visit last year the Pelican Bay holdings have been largely increased by the purchase of surrounding summer resorts adjoining Pelican Bay and they have been clos ed to the public.
 The private telegraph line that con nects the Pelican Bay lodge with the outside world is being put into first

 TRAVELLING SANTA FE
Careless People Are Looked After and Virtue Receives It's Reward

One beauty about travelling Santa Fe is that the company not only pro vides every possible convenience and service and protects life and limb to the best of it's ability, but it employs train crews who were brought up by the old fashioned rules of honesty and who do their utmost to protect passengers against themselves and their own carelessness. And then that the crews may not feel that be ing honest is loves labor lost they are stimulated to good works by proper recognition of their good deeds.
 On July 25 Brakeman John Hemp hill found a bank book in a coach north bound from Phoenix. It con tained a S1OO bill, a S2O bill and a couple of railroad tickets. Instead of touching up the find for what there was in it, MT. Hemphill reported promptly to Conductor Brown. who found the owner and restored the property, after which he reported the proper conduct of Brakeman Hemphill to Superintendent Story, recommend ing a proper recognition. It is learned that the party whose property was lOSl ana ItSJoTtu Was not tlIuSlNt III his appreciation and hardly thanked the train crew for the favor.
 However. Brakeman Hemphill did not go unrewarded. as will be seen by the following letter which he re ceived:
 Prescott. Ariz. July 27. 1909. MT. J. Hemphill,
 Dear Sir:-I am advised by Con- ductor Brown that on July 25 you found a bank book in coach 103, train 1. containing S12O; that you imme- diately reported same and the party was located and the property returned to him. Your conduct in this matter is certainly commendable and I take pleasure in advising you that your record has been credited with 25 merit marks for your action in the matter.
 Yours truly.

DeceitfuI Appearances.

A remarkable experience once befell
Mark Twain in Australia, which, he
said, determined him never again to
judge by appearances. He had just
landed at III Australian port, and, to
his chagrin, there was no porter in
sight to carry his luggage. Seeing a
rough looking, badly dressed old fell
low leaning idly against post with
his hands in his pockets, the author
beckoned to him and said:
.4See here, if you'll carry these bags
up to the hotel I'll give you half a
dollar
The man scowled darkly, and, tax
ing three or four golden sovereigns
from his pocket, he deliberately threw
them into the sea, scowled at Mark
Twain again and walked away with
out a word.

The Right Hand Seats.

The Philadelphia Record quoted an
observant street car conductor to the
effect that the right hand seats are al
ways filled first. He could not account
for this except on the theory that. as
most persons are right handed and ac-
customed to turning to the right. it
might be simply force of habit
"There is another probable reason
which he did not think off, says the
Record. "It is generally believed that
the right side of car is safer. An
old traveller once said to the writer:
In travelling always sit in the middle
Of car and on the right hand side.
The middle is safer than the ends in
collision, and the right side is not
likely to be "side swiped" by project
ing objects on trains, cars or any We
hicles passing on the adjacent track ;"

public it seeks to meet. Edward

canned beef, which they buy when
ever they have money. That they are

if they are not careful. An exporter
of canned meat was nearly ruined by
clinging to the trademark of a drag

The natives shuddered at the sight Of
the hideous thing. They were not go

vain the agents tore off the labels; the
natives were suspicious and would not
buy The whole shipment had 20 be
