MYSTERY TERRORIZES
LITTLE FRENCH TOWN

Paris.-The little village of Pego-
mas, near Frasso, has again been ter
rorized by another of those extraor-
binary crimes committed by people
of whom nobody in the viggale has
been able to catch sight.
The prefect OF the Alpes Maritimes
has gone to Pegomas 20 look into the
matter and a special meeting OF the
municipal council has been called.
Twelve gendarmes will patrol the lit
tie village every night until the Grim
inals are discovered and all the in
habitants have been ordered to sub

Gently committed by the phantom

call them. A man named Risso W, 8

whistled into the room land went
trough the hands th.t held the cards.
In house 200 yards away a boy of
16 was shot on Sunday night as he
was going to bed. The boy, whose
name is Musse, had noticed somebody
lurking near the house. At the mo-
ment the shot was fired he stopped
to pick up his gun, which was under
the bed, and so doing saved his life.

MONEY IN APPLES
AT WHITE SALMON

White Salmon, Wash.-Three years
ago there stood in the main street of
White Salmon stumps of trees and
even growing trees. One found a store
or two facing on it, a postoffice,
blacksmith shop and a livery stable.
Today the main street is a clear,
straightaway thoroughfare lined with
business houses, including five brick
buildings and a concrete structure.
Three years ago there We're not more
than $50 people who made their
homes in the neighbornood. Today
the population is close to 1000. The
frame schoolhouse IS soon to give
place to a 10000 brick school, which
is under construction. ..
And this development is founded
on the red apple.
To show how the apple growing
business is extending it is only ne

BEAUTIFUL GIRLS IN
STATION OVER NIGHT

Pittsburg.-Two of the most beau
tiful girls that have ever been the
guests of the Pittsburg police station
were confined in Central police sta
ton Wednesday. They are Anna Nc
Laughlin, who also confesses to the
name of Summers, whose home is in
Nome, Alaska, and Hilda Cornell OF
Seattle, Wash.
Neither is more than IS years old.
They were arrested in a Pittsburg de-
partment store by two detectives, who
allege that they were stealing shirt
waists.
In the room of the girls on Federal
street, there was found Wednesday
night data which proves the remark
able story told by the girls that they
were the daughters of rich mine pro-
moters of the Northwest.
The Mclaughlin girl asserts that
she was born in Juneau, Alaska, and
that her father is a rich operator at
Nome.
With the Cornell girl she agrees
that they lived until two years ago
in Seattle, and that at that time they
were placed in a private school at
Chimawa, Ore, by their parents.
They stated that within the last year
they both escaped from this school
and Joined an opera company, and
since have gone all oyer the country.
Their last employment was as song
and dance girls with the Butler
Brothers Carnival company which
went on the rocks several days since
The girls have retained all their cor
respondence. and the police have
asked that the police of Vancouver,
B. c., get into communication with
Nome regarding them, and that Sc
attic also investigate.
Patrick Mclaughlin of Nome, the
father OF one of the gorls, is said to
have immense wealth. James Cornell
of Seattle is given as Hilda Cornell's
father.

PARTISAN SHORT WEIGHT
DEALERS TO BE WATCHED

Paris.--A new municipal depart
ment has just been opened which will
go far to kill the legend that in Paris
everything is false. The function of
the new department is to examine the
weights and measures used by trad
ers, and, further, to see that certain
articles are not adulterated or fraud
ulent, such as mineral waters, etc.
There will be districts each with
its own inspector, while another in
spector will be charged with the spe-
cial duty of milk inspection. The
other officers will visit the shops,
warehouses, markets, etc, and inspect
meat, fowl game and fish. A great
deal of interest is shown in the new
department and people are wonder
ing what will be the fate of those
traders who are found to be in fault
The assumption is that there must
be a good deal of fraud going on II
the authorities find it necessary TO &C
to the expense of establishing such q
service of inspectors.

SUMMER SEASON BRINGS
AMERICANS TO LONDON

London.-LOndon Is just now given
over to visitors, chiefly American and
continental.
Drawn blinds at mansions in West
End squares are the rule rather than
the exception, and there are, busy
scenes daily in the railway stations in
connection with the departure of peo-
pie for the moors and the seaside.
On the other hand the hotels have
been full for some time. From May
onward Americans arrive in London
in large numbers, and though they
make frequent exclusions into the
provinces they are not absent for more
than a few days at time.
The manager of one largest hotels
in London stated today that the num-
Der of American visitors is increas-
ing year by year. They bring their
families with them, too, which was
not always the case, and they stay as
long as business engagements permit
They seem loath to leave London" !"
he added, "and most hotels are sorry
when they go, for the average Ameri-
can spends sensibly and freely"
The large drapery and millinery es-
adjustments in the West End bear
testimony to the shopping value of
the American lady visitor. "She is
not at all difficult to please" said
one manager, "and unlike her Cana
dian neighbors is not particular as to
price,
The Americans are more interested
in the historic features of London
than its parks and squares. They
consult their guide books daily, and
make out an itinerary. Few show
places of the metropolis escape their
observation.
The Abbey, St. Pauls cathedral and
the houses OF parliament are perhaps
the most popular resorts of visitors,
and all day long there Ks a constant
stream in the direction of Westmin-
ster. A policeman on duty outside
the Abbey counted so taxicabs which
set down fares within 20 minutes.
Restaurants in the West End are
reaping harvest just now during
luncheon hours, and places of amuse
ment in the evening have large
proportion of American and conti-
mental visitors among their patrons.

CLEARING LAND.
Char Pit Process Demonstrated to be
Cheap and Effective.

Portland, Ore.--Experiments just
conducted in clearing land by the char
pit process at Chehalis, Wash, is of
vital interest to the whole Northwest.
The success of the new method has
been demonstrated in the tests just
made and it offers cheap and ef-
fective way to rid cut over land Of
stumps leaving 1t ready for the farm
er's plow.
Experts took up the subject and d.
rected the tests at Chehalis. Secre-
tary Merrill OF the Citizens Club,
Chehalis, arranged for the expert
ments and secured the attendance of
Harry Thompson Of the United States
department OF agriculture, and Prof.
H. w. Sparks, farm demonstrator at
the State College, Pullman, who
showed considerable interest in the
results.
One hundred fir stumps, from two
to four feet in diameter, were kept
burning in this test and an accurate
account kept of the labor required,
Stumps were completely destroyed and
roots burned out at an average cost
OF so cents per stump.
DISNlhNN ohedbNS VI tiiN thoi PiN
system are that 1t can be operated
successfully without the high priced
skilled labor required for blasting
stumps and 1t is much less expensive
than the donkey engine method. The
clear pit system leaves the ground
in good condition for the planting of
crops, whereas the more expensive
blasting method tears large holes in
the ground and lifts the hardpan to
the surface, lessening the productive
ity OF the soil.
Mr.. Thompson's report on the case
will be issued later in a bulletin by
the department of agriculture and
copies may be had by addressing the
Chehalis Citizens club. Secretary
Merrill has arranged with Mr.. Thomp-
son and Prof. Sparks to hold further
demonstrations at various points in
western Washington, calculated to
educate the people along the line of
clearing up logged off lands. If the
new method facilitates the clearing
OF the thousands of acres of idle
stump land in the Northwest it will
accomplish great good.

parison Of the numbers of species Of the
various groups Of animals that were
known in 1890 or thereabout with the
numbers known in 1881. During the in

from 1000 to 300. birds from 5000 to
