Angry Father Kills Eloper.

Brownsville-Charles Powell, q
well-known and highly-respected
farmer residing three miles west of
Brownsville, shot and instantly
killed Homer Roper, young man
at the j. A. Nice place last week.
The trouble which led to the fatal
result arose over the fact that Roper,
who is aged 22 years, about six
months ago ran away with Powell's
l5-year-old daughter, taking her to
Pilot Rock. Powell followed and
brought his daughter back and Ro-
per soon came, too. Since that time
he has persistently sought the girl,
although warned to keep away.
The girl attended a party at the
Nice place Thursday night, where
Roper appeared and enticed her
from the house. Powell was noti-
fled at his home and with his wife
went to the Nice home and began a
search for their daughter. She was
found in Roper's company by Mrs.
Powell.
Roper then went to the barn.
Powell returned and when near the
barn was accosted by Roper, who
informed him that he had the drop
on him. Powell, who carried a IA
Winch ester rifle, then began shoot
ing, hitting Roper just above the
right eye, killing him instantly
Powell remained on the scene of the
tragedy and when the o.lcers ap.
peared gave himself up.

gerson, wounding her assailant in
the hand Sainclair is to use his
friendship with M. Darzac, Mile. Stan
gersons lover, to introduce Rouleta-
Lille into the chateau. IlI-Rouleta-
billie induces M. de Marquet, the eX-
amining magistrate, and M. de Ma
leine, his registrar, to talk about the
case. The only possible point of
egress from the pavilion for the
murderer has been the window of the
pavilions vestibule, near which blood
stains have been found. The win
dow, however, was found latched af-
ter the assassin's escape. A bullet
hole Is found in the ceiling of the
yellow room. w. Shortly before
the attack the announcement of the
engagement of Mile. Stangerson and
M. Darzac had been made. V-Rou-
letabille and Sinclair are informed
by Frederic Larsan, famous detec-
tive working on the case, that the
concierges have been arrested. Meet
ing NJ. Darzac, Rouletabille utters a
mystic sentence, "The presbytery
has lost nothing of its charm nor the
garden its brightness" which seems
to terrify Darzac. VI-The arrest of
the concierges is due to the fact
that they we're seemingly near the
the pavilion when the crime was com
mitted. Their denial of guilt is doubt
ed. Rouletabille and Darzac become
friendly. A mutton bone such as is
used by French assassins, has been
found in Mile. Stangerson's room and
professors retorts a partly burned
paper bearing the strange sentence
about the presbytery. VII-In the
yellow room Rouletabille finds a wo
mans hair, which he declares to be
important evidence. VIII-Mlle. Stan
gerson tells of her movements on
the day of the attack. She feared
something of the sort, she says, af'
ter seeing shadows pass in front OF
her window and therefore borrowed

Postland-A proceeding that is at
tracing a great deal of attention
from homesteaders and others inter-
ested in the acquisition of title to
the public domain has been in prog
ress all this week before the regis
ter and receiver of the Portland
land office and several days longer
may be required in the hearing of
the issues involved.
1t appears from the evidence al
ready adduced that settlers in the
vicinity of Euchre Mountain, in the
former Siletz Indian reservation,
commuted their homestead entries at
the end of IA months from the date
of filing. The forestry service insti-
tuted contest and is prosecuting
the same on behalf of the govern
ment, on the ground that the sub
mission of proof at the end of only
eight months residence is evidence
of bad faith. If this contention is
sustained by the local land office Of
ficials and confirmed by the land de-
partment, it is claimed that it will
have the effect of establishing dam
gerous precedent and place many
other homestead claims in timbered
districts in peril, as it has heretofore
been common practice to accept
eight months actual and continuous
residence as sufficient to sustain a
Communication proof.

A Tobacco Pouch.

When wife or daughter makes a to- bacco pouch for the batter he's always delighted. A pretty pouch in rich brown or dark green, lined with a maroon silk. would be attractive when the edges are pinked and a draw string of heavy silk with long tassels run in near the top. It's not the kid, the lining or the cord that makes these bags so unusual, for without the mon Ogram or crest done in gilt thread or in bright colored silks the pouches. aside from being handmade, would be quite the same as those bought in the shops. But with an attractive emblem or two or three initials prettily em- broidered in one cGrncr the pouches are presents any man, no matter how surfeited with &iftS, would be glad to receive at Christmas.

PIPE RACK.

gift that an ingenious woman who is clever with carpenters tools can make. This present is a novel pipe rack. To make the rack procure four boards from carpenter-tWo eighteen inches long by six inches wide and two eight cen inches long by five inches wide. In one of the latter pieces get car penter to bore four holes three-eighths of an inch in diameter and running lengthWise in the board. The two end holes are four inches from the ends of the board, and all of the holes are two and a half inches apart. The two larger boards are joined together by means of braces, which screw on the backs with very small screws. Five inches from the top of the longer side is fastened the board with the holes in it, so that it makes a shelf on the first piece. Then, five inches below this, is fastened the ether board in the same manner as the first-by means of screws from the back. The rack is fin ished as far as the carpentering goes. The upper shelf is for the pipes. the holes being made for them to rest in, while the lower shelf is for tobacco boxes, matches, etc.
 The next thing is to stain it the pop ular mission color. Then get screw eyes and put them on the back, and through these put picture wire to hang 1t by. The hardest thing is to print above the first shelf, "A Mans Best Friend" Paint the letters with gold paint, which sets off the dark color of the wood and gives the rack a finished, decorative appearance.
