Destructive Fire.

The stable in the rear of Constable Jno.
Ramirez's residence in Charles street, be-
tween Railroad avenue and Lessard
street. and two frame buildings in the adj
joining yard of Contractor Joseph Mes
sina' S premises were completely destroyed
by fire at about 4:30 o'clock Wednesday
morning Mr. Messina lost quantity of
valuable tools, implements and materials,
several thousand feet of dressed lumber,
and a lot of bottled syrup and other
stores, his loss being in the neighborhood
Of $1700. Constable Ramirez estimates
his loss at 5000. None of the property
was insured. The fire IS believed to have
started in Mr.. Messina's storeroom, but as
there was nothing of a combustible ma
ture stored therein he is at loss to account
for the origin of the flames. The fire de-
partment answered the alarm promptly
and gave a splendid account of itself,
subduing the flames in short order and
combining the damages to the least pos
sible amount

This contractor got results.

Some years ago a contractor build
ing railroad in a warm climate was
troubled great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat and were
drinking water from stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats fed
to the men.
He also boiled Quaker Scotch Oats
and mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs OF stomach disorders passed
and his men showed a decided improve
ment in strength and spirits. This con-
tractor had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal.

Another week has passed away and
still the drouth which has prevailed in
this section for the past month remains
unbroken. A slight improvement has
been effected in the condition of the
weather during the current week in as
much as the unseasonably low tempera-
| lures OF the preceding fortnight have been
replaced by higher averages, but the
change has brought with it no sign of
rain and it begins to look as though the
drouth will last for some time longer.
Fall plant and stubble are holding their
own, but would do whole lot better with
good drenching, and spring plant, while
struggling along as best it can under the
circumstances, can't possibly stand the

what ways should college education
appeal to them? First Of all. the
world is now demanding trained
workers as never before. The day is
almost past when any one can teach
school who has not had definite train
ing in the principles underlying child
development and the methods best
suited to each peculiar stage OF men
tai growth and change. Moreover.
the field of woman's work is increas-
ing with rapid strides. so that every
one can now find some occupation
suited to her ability. Even from the
practical viewpoint of a salary and
good position. college education pre-
sents far-reaching possibilities. And
yet how much greater the opportunity
seems to one whose ideal is not per-
sonal gain, but service in molding the
future of our country in the ways OF
general culture and high moral stan
dards. Such young woman has
learned to use rightly the best things
which her alma mater offered, an at
titude of generosity and service as
the highest purpose to be gained, and
a true Interpretation of life's needs
and the methods of improving them.

Charles ogilvy, we'll known and high
ly respected residents of Pilot Rock.
The boy was brought to Pendleton
last night by Sheriff Taylor. having
been apprehended by that official af-
ter search lasting since Sunday.
Young Ogilvy is charged with un-
dertaking to drive 10 to 20 head of
horses belonging to Tom Gibson from
the Gibson range on East Birch creek,
on across the mountains into Union
county. His task proved to great an
undertaking. however, ror when he
reached Starkey prairie all but three
of the animals had escaped from him
and been lost in the timber.
These three were traded to a young
man on Starkey prairie for a saddle
horse and a few dollars to boot. He
then returned to his home in Pilot
Rock and attended school yesterday.
When on Starkey prairie he gave
the name of Roy Smith and Ukiah as
his home.
Sheriff Taylor was notified by tele-
phone Sunday that someone had stol-
en- the Gibson horses. He made the
trip to Pilot Rock by auto where he
was Joined by Gibson and on horse
back they made the trip across the
mountains to Starkey, picked up the
trail Of the youthful horsethief, fol-
lowed it back to Pilot Rock and made
the arrest. Taylor arrived home about
9 o'clock last evening, having his pris-
oner in custody.

AFTER HIDDEN TREASURE.
Want to Dig Under Chep-
stow CAStle.


London.-The duke of Beaufort has
refused a party of Americans permis-
sion to conduct a treasure hunt in the
vicinity of Chepstow castle. The in
vestigators expected to find in a con-
cealed cavity of the cliff overlooking
the river Tyre certain ancestral docu-
ments and jewels which were hidden
away when Cromwell recaptured the
castle.
The explorers acquired from the
owner of the land. which is just out
side the top boundary Of the castle
grounds, permission to blast and ex-
cavate, and for some months they en-
ployed a number of workmen, spend
ing hundreds of pounds on the pro-
ject. The initial point OF operations
was high up in the cliff and tunneling
operations were directed upwards to-
ward the roots of tree which stands
on the top Of the cliff ground.
Apparently they made no discovery
and at length they abandoned the
quest, at all events for a time. 1t
was rumored that the documents, II
found, were expected to throw some
light upon the authorship" of some
OF Shakespeare's plays. The investi-
cations, before they returned home,
sought to obtain the permission OF
the Duke of Beaufort owner Of the
castle, to allow them to make explo-
rations from within the castle, but in
this they were unsuccessful.

GERMAN PRINCESS is

emperor and empress, is today cele-
brating her eighteenth birthday Con-
gratulatory messages and valuable
gifts were showered upon her by all
the kings, queens and princesses OF
Europe, and there were many popu-
lar demonstrations of the affection
entertained for the young princess by
the German people.
Princess Louise honorary colonel of
the Deaths Head regiment and wore
its brilliant uniform at recent mill
tary maneuver at Danzig. She was
confirmed last October and abandon
ed her short dresses, assuming the
garb and duties Of a society woman.
She has a palace of her own and Of
ten entertains on her own account.
The German princess Is a pleasant
faced girl. although hardly beautiful,
and is amiable and unaffected in de-
pertinent. It Is likely that she will
be married soon when her imperial
father has decided upon an alliance
that will serve TO prop up the throne,
now so sadly undermined by the social
democrats. Many royal princes and
archdukes have been mentioned as
possible husbands for Princess Louise
but it is not believed that a definite
choice has yet been made.
Despite her royal station, the prin-
cess has been thoroughly educated In
housewifery, and when she becomes
bride. will be able to obey her
fathers precept for women to mind

Princess Louise affects the Eng
lish manner Of dress, and the tailor
made costume surmounted by a sailor
hat is her favorite wear. She speaks
English fluently and has a wide ac-
quaintance with English slang, which
appears to have a peculiar fascination
for her. Her only talent aside from
the housewifely duties before men.
