n.ited by persons familiar with the
camp of the contractors crew and who
We're well acquainted with the surround
ing country. The horses were taken
from the barn at midnight. Ii was
possible TO follow their tracks for,abOut
six miles toward the Columbia, when
the trail became lost at a cross roads.
The theaves or thief then turned either
TO the east and headed for the Yakima
country or went west into the head
waters of the Lewis River.
The sheriffs of five adjoining
counties were notified and have been
conducting an organized search. Ii is
possible that arrests will be made
soon. IL seems that within the past
several weeks a number OF horses
have been stolen in the vicinity.
During the Indian races at Trout Lake
the horses of several visitors were
taken, among them was that Of Editor
Dunnicliff. of the White Salmon Enter
prise. The theft of the Birtleson bays
has. left the impression among the
residents of the community that the
work has been that of an organized
band. The contractor has offered a
reward of $3.50 for the arrest of the
thief.

F0RGER ACQUAINTED
WITH LOCAL AFFAIRS

Additional cases of forgery on banks
here which came to pass in New York
last week, demonstrate that New York
banks are easy for the man with nerve.
Two forgeres for 81 500 each and
one for IS, $50, which netted the forger
So, 750, were reported to the National
Surety Company few days ago.
Judging from the facility with which
the forgers who are not believed ia
be connected in any way, but to have
worked entirely independent of each
other-got away with the money il
might almost seem pity for any man
to plod along, working hard for liv-
ing, when banks in New York are
bursting with money they appear are
only too happy to let out.
For instance, last Friday nice-look
ing man walked into one of the biggest
national banks IL the city and intro.
duced himself as James II. McCann of
Hood River, Ore. He had a cashier
check on the Butler Banking Company
of Hood River. That happens to be a
correspondent bank of the New York
concern.
Hood River is where nice-looking
apples come from. Mr.. McCann intro
duced himself to the cashier. He
knew everybody connected with the
Hood River Bank, and talked apples,
crops, and weather, and made himself
agreeable. He had check for So, 750
which he would like to deposit with
the national bank here to open an ac-
count. lie was not in need of any
money, but would like to deposit the
check for collection and safekeeping
He was stopping at the Plaza.
Well, of course anybody would ac-
comodate so affable man, especially
when he didn't want any money. just
wanted his cashiers check taken
care of. So this stranger, with nc
other introduction, opened an account
for SO, 750 with one of the larges
banks in New York and went his way
There is several hours difference ii
time between Hood River, Ore, anG
New York. When it was noon here
last Monday the Hood River Bank was
Just opening its doors. The cashier
check had just been received there
when the days business was half over
here. They did not think of that at
this end of the line, but when Mr.. Nc
Cam walked IN Monday morning here
and drew his check for SO, $50, they
paid it without murmur. A few
hours later they got a hot wire from
Hood River informing them the chcR
was a forgery. Of course the poor
forger loses the SIS, 900 balance he still
has to his credit. New York Globe.

BOARDS RULING
WILL STAND

At recent meeting and re-organiza-
tion of the student body of the local
high school, the high school boys and
girls made strong protest against
the action of the city school board in
raising the standard of Scholarship to
be maintained by those participating
in athletics from a weekly grade of rs
per cent to that of so per cent. By a
unanimous vote the board was asked to
reduce the grade of that to the old
standard.
The school board, however. according
to one of its members, DIR. II. l.. Dunn
BILE, will retain the so per cent stand
ard. "The high school students should
not think that we are opposed to ath-
letics," said DR.. Dumble, for no one
believes more than we do in the benefit
of sports properly conducted. But we
consider that no student, who does moi
maintain a standard higher than 80 per
cent should spend time on the athletic
| field.

NEAL CREEK ROAD
PROVES POPULAR

Although opened to traffic but
a short period, the Neal Creek road,
which was surveyed and new grade
established over the route last summer,
is proving one of the most popular
highways between the upper and lower
Hood River valleys.
The highways formerly used by resi-
dents of the upper and lower regions
were the road over Booth Hill and the
Dee road. The former had such
heavy grade as to make it impossible
to pull heavy loads over it, while in
addition to number of grades. the
traveller passing over the latter met
with bad stretches between Dee and
Summit
Since the Neal Creek road has been
in use the auto stages have found 1t to
be the most CONVENIENT route to the
upper country.

at C.J
 A. F. Howe's letters to the New personal and. for that reason people read them. What are his sources of information we can only conjecture, but weekly he produces enough poli tical gossip to last over to the next Sunday. This. time we are informed that Lieutenant-Governor Blakeslee has lined up with Representative Hank Hall of Wilmington for tick ct of Blakeslee & Hall, with ex-May- or Hooker of this city in for some place, that Charles C. Bissell of Suf- field is being considered as a compro- nose candidate for Congress from this new district. of Hartford county, and others discussed are ex-Mayor Hen ney, Senator Fem, Representative Chandler of Rocky Hill, who,S he says is not making push, and Attorney John H. Buck, who might be persuad- ed to follow his fathers footsteps. Ov- CT Litchfield county way, where the county has been annexed, report has it that ex-Senator Irving Chase of Waterbury will oppose Senator Bar mum as candidate for the congress sional nomination, and John F. Kel- logg is- also mentioned. Over east pitt of Norwich. ex-Attorney General King of Willimantic and State At torney Searls, but MT. Howe dropped stitch when he forgot to mention the talk of ex-Governor Weeks. It should be remembered that Middlesex ci-Unty is on the map, even if -Can- diGate Shepard of last year is out now for the renomination of Con- gTessman Higgins. Mr. Howe hears that the independent candidacy of Francis Atwater of Meriden for mayor of that city :, is a deep-lald scheme for punishing Representative Donovan for voting for United States Senator against the wishes of H. Wales Lines. Mir. Hill will be renom- mated for Congress unless the party is to go to pieces in that district and it is not expected that old-time threats against him will count for much. Lynn W. Wilson, who oppos- ed him last year, may run again. but Homer s. Cummings, of Stamford, Representative Phillips of Stamford Senator McNeil and ex-Congressnan DeFNorest of Bridgeport would not dodge if the nomination came their way.
