During the earthquake in Santiago
de Chile in 1906 my cook refused to
go upstairs to help me save SONS
clothes and valuables, but unthinking
ly risked her life to get me a bottle
OF whisky.
Il was at the Union club early in
the evening of August 16, and some
Of us were shaking dice for drinks
When the first shock came /, not be
ing used to earthquakes, ran out into
the patio My companions jeered me
when 1 went back to the table We
pretty soon came the grand shock
that lasted three minutes and forty
seven seconds. There was no jeerine
this time, but everybody made for the
front door.
MY house was about five blocks
from the club, btu all the lights were
out, the streets were pitch dark, and
it seemed an hour before l got there,
though l was running as hard as
could. There was light in the dining
room, and everything was on the floor.
1 shouted for my wife, but she, the
servants and the dog were gone.
While 1 was turning off the gas,
Abtonia, our cook, who was an Arau.
canaan Indian, came to the front door,
she cried.
"She told me that my wife had gone
to the Alameda, a wide street some
distance away, and would wait for me
there.

Antonio to come with me to help find
them and some valuables, but she
would not. She ran to the kitchen
and fetched a candle and then caught
the things as l threw them into the
patio. When got downstairs she had
made them all up into a bundle.

Everybody in the city who could

there was such a throng that l could

the spot where Antonio had left her,
but there was not a sign.
I'VE walked about calling her name,

morning that we found her. Then it

Rexall Men i'm Convention

Boston, Mass, Oct. S.-The most
important convention of its kind ever
held in the East, if not in this coun-
try, ended here last night when more
than 80 stockholders of the United
Drug company, and some 500 ladies,
members of their families, stood in
the immense enclosure of the Boston
Arena and united their voices in the
chorus of "Auld Lang Syne" as
finale to the annual banquet. 1t
made an impressive sight. The mag
nitude of everything connected with
the banquet can not be adequately
described. for the plans were carried
out on a scale commensurate with
what the convention represented, a
gathering of leading druggists from
every section of the North American
continent.

Ephrata Expects Power.

A power company that has pur-
chased a great many power plants
throughout the state will invest, we
are informed, at least thirty million
within the state. Assurance is made
that not later than April first they
can furnish power to any one in
Grant county for five dollars per
acre, and they are DESTROYS of estab-
fishing a sub-station in this county.
This would mean that all farmers
who are putting down wells could
have all the power they desired at
cost not to exceed five dollars an
acre by the first of April. They
would also furnish power to promo
tiers who bring in water by the grav-
ity system.
1t is expected that a representa-
tive of this power company will call
at Ephrata and unfold his plans to
the citizens here in detail. A power
company of this description would
undoubtedly be great thing for
farmers living throughout the Quin-
cy and Moses Lake country, many Of
whom would no doubt be in position
to take advantage of this power in
the early spring. When it Is consid
cred that nowhere in the valley do
we have to raise the water to exceed
100 feet and in most places not to
exceed so feet, even though the wa
ter is pumped 200 feet. it would
seem that the Moses Lake and Quin-
cy country, backed up by a power
plant, capable of furnishing all the
power required at the cost above
named would have an assured flu
ture, second to none in the state
Ephrata Record.

No BETS ON WORLD
SERIES
Chicago Fans Holding Off
for an Even Money
Proposition.

Chicago, Oct. 8.-While betting
on the worlds baseball series be-
tween Chicago and Philadelphia has
not yet become brisk, several wagers
have been laid.
"Piker" bets have been laid at
various places, the average price be-
ing ten to seven on the Cubs, but
those on the long end now demand
even money.
Most of the wagers were placed
before the injury to Johnny Evers,
and most of the layers contend that
with him out of the game it is an
even money proposition.
