Again today has old ]. Pluvius done
his best to put an end TO the cleaning

touches to the most successful cam
paign since the plan was ~inaugurated
are being put on this afternoon. The
real end will not come until next week
when the city will put men. horses
and wagons on the job hauling the
debris to the dump pile.
The odor of burning rags and 9TH
er debris has been in the air contin-
uously since early yesterday morning
and despite the showers it is still
prevalent this afternoon. While not
strictly pleasant in itself, the odor is
none the less pleasing in hat it sig
nifies that the city is rapidly being
made more beautiful and healthful.
So much enthusiasm in the cam
paign of improvement has been en-
gendered that in some quarters where

..Clinper Jack" Arrested.

Berlin.-Berlin's women and girls
have been terrorized by a young man
with a mania for cutting off their
hair. He is Joseph Fodor, aged 81,
and comes from Hungary. He has
been arrested.
He piled his strange calling with
great skill. He cut off hair with the
same slight-of-hand with which pick
pockets obtain their booty. Thus he
escaped detection. and was able to
continue plundering women of their
hair month after month.
Fodor's victims numbered humid
reds, on some days he victimized as
many as 10 persons successfully. His
lodging was stored with hair obtain
ed in this way. The locks were bound
up with ribbons of all hues, and la
beled and classified according to their
color and fineness of texture.

SEEK SHORT ROUTE FROM
WALLA WALLA TO LA GRANDE

A special from Weston to the Ore
gonian says:
"A party of railroad surveyors are
at work on Weston Mountain, eight
miles east of town. They refuse to
give out any information beyond the
fact that they are seeking the short
est route from the Grande Ronde
valley to Walla Walla. 1t is said they
are unable so far to find a suitable
grade down any Of the canyons lead
ing to Dry Creek or Couse Creek from
Weston Mountain, and that they are
now seeking a route towards Wes-
ton in which event the new road will
PASS about a mile east of this town.

AGED MAN WATCHES
REMOVAL OF HIS LEG

Butte. Mont.-Seated on the oper-
ating table, conscious Of everything
going on about him, Joseph Hen
worth, a miner, watched the SURGE
n at Murray hospital amputate his
leg, but suffered little. if n pain
from the operation at the time. In
performing the operation Drs. With
erspoon and Kistler used stovaine' in
jecting it into the spinal cord. 1t was
used for the first time in the state
and the operation was success in every
detail. Dry gangrene necessitated
the operation.
Henworth is 70 years of age. His
advanced age made the giving Of an
anaesthetic inadvisable, yet the am
putation of the limb was deemed ne
cessary to save his life, and it was
decided to use stovaine.

Tact is that rare quality teaching a
man to deal with his fellow men as
he finds them. Some people take tact
for Jolly. The man who jollies you
is not your friend. 1t is your friend
who criticizes you and your enemy
who flatters you. I have tried to
profit by that. The mar who tells
you you are wrong wants you to I'M
prove.
You must nave tact. 1t is the way
you say a thing as well as what you
say. When. you are debating a letter
please bear in mind that your per-
lsonality does not go with it-hot words
become cold type when received and
read.-Hugh Chalmers.
