HUGE LOGS FOR CHINA

When the steamer NJ S. Dollar left
Linnton, Ore, for China recently she
had on board one of the most singular
cargoes of lumber that has ever left
the port. Her deck load is composed
of huge unsawed logs which are des-
tined to go into Chinese temple.
There are about 25 of these logs
and they range in length from 105 to
106 feet. They average about 43 inches
at the butt, and each weighs in the
neighborhOod Of Is tons. They will
be discharged somewhere along the
river between Shanghai and Hankow,
after which they will have to be
taken long distance into the interior
of the country, where they will be
used in making repairs to a Buddhist
temple which is many centuries old.
The work of transferring them
from the coast to t'ieir destination will
be an enormous task, as for most of
the way they will have to be trans
ported by the most primitive methods
and it will be the work of months to
get them to their destination

That's a fine horse, deacon the
old fellow shouted. Did you buy him
at the fair?'
Yes said the deacon. Then, as
the other came nearer, he added:
az bought him with my pickings

it. But after using two cakes Of Cuti-

The house of Alexander Hamilton
in New York, which. a century ago,
was the scene of bright social fetes
and the haven of politicians who de-
sired the advice of the statesman, is
now damned in against a church on

The famous old house is dwarfed
by the large edifice alongside it, but

and generous Veranda convince one
Of the builders good taste Many of
the regular worshippers next door are

PONY COLT SAVED MOTHER

At ball game in Pleasant HILL Mo-,
the attention Of the crowd was at
tracted by a pretty Shetland colt,
which approached the bleachers from
the direction of a creek 200 yards be-
yond first base. The Shetland baby
appeared to be IN trouble. Various
people on the lines fondled the little
fellow, and presently it turned and re-
traced its way to the creek. At the
edge of the creek bluff it paused but
for an instant, and, after looking in
tently over the brink, it wheeled
about once more and returned to the
right field bleachers. Walker Bran
mock and Lloyd Mckee noticed the
unusual actions of the colt, and when
it once more turned and started fos
the creek they followed. The mystery
was explained when they looked over
the bluff, for there, mfred in the deep
mud, and with her head barely out OF
the water, was the little bay mother
of the Shetland colt Other persons
were summoned to the scene, and will
ing hands soon delivered the little
mare from her predicament.
