GRIMY FACES AND HANDS
NECESSARY TO HOLD JOBS

Houston, Texas, June 81. - Any
train or engineman on the Hartman
system who comes into a terminal
with n clean face and hands is IL
able to discharge. This novel order
recently has been promulgated on
the lines of the Southern Pacific, a
Hartman property, and Is general
from coast to coast.
The order IS a step toward the pre-
ventlon of wrecks. A study of the
wrecks by officials of the system de-
veloped the fact that a majority oc-
cured in the yards or near the ter
minals OF the divisions. This situa-
ton led to the belief that as the train
approached the terminal all hands re-
Taxed vigilance. 1t was found in these
cases that the crews took time to
wash the CRIME from their hands and
faces so they could enter the terminal
turn over their train and leave the
yards at once.
BY the terms of the order abolu-
tions are permitted only after the
train is in. Should an employe come
into the terminal with shiny coun-
tenance and pink, rosy hands, this
fact hereafter is to be taken that he
neglected his duties and he becomes
liable to discharge.

o3OO VOLTS FAIL TO KILL.
Portland Painter Terribly Burned,
and Bruised by Fall Will Live.

Oregon City, Or.-For ~ minutes
Harry Henderson, Of Portland, en-
ployed in painting and steelwork on
the suspension bridge across the Will
lamette river here, hung suspended
80 feet above the bridge roadway by
a single power wire carrying 23OO
volts of electricity. When the wire
snapped Henderson fell. The force Of
the drop was partially broken by
workmen from the paper mills who
caught him. Several hundred men
coming off shift witnessed the acci-
dent.
Though fearfully burned and suf-
fer,ng from bruises caused by his 80
foot drop, Henderson, the physician
says, will live. He is now being cared
for at the Wildwood hospital here.
Those who saw the accident say
Henderson touched the power wire
while painting and was then thrown
across it so that he received the full
force of the powerful current.

ASSOCIATES WITH
ANCIENTS IN SLEEP

Sumpter, ore, June 27.--The citi-
zens Of Sumpter are aroused over the
mysterious actions Of Gustave
Frencher, a German lad, aged about
16. This boy recently arrived here
from Germany and lives with rela-
tives, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Boyer. He
can not speak English. For the last
week he claims to be under the in
fluence of an old-time German gen.
eral, who in the feudal days fought
a battle to the death with 10 oppo-
nents, and single handed killed the
whole number
At the time the lad retires for the
night and sleep has taken possession
of him, he says the visitor from the
spirit land takes charge and for from
two to three hours the youth is en-
gagged in mortal combat with an i'm
aginary foe supposed to be French
soldiery of the knighthood period. The
weapons are real knives and lance.
While the battle Is on young
Frencher makes a weird illustration
of the way men battled in those days
! The butcher knife must be sharpen
ed to a keen edge for service to satis-
| fy the youthful illustrator performing
in his dreamland spectacle, and is
welded with dexterity. He slashes
right and left, forward and back
ward, in circles and semicircles, and
decribes all the styles and parties OF
sword play in the most dramatic
manner imaginable until the fight is
over and the enemy slain.

sary.

Washington, d. C.-When the clerk
of the house of representatives reach
es the name Of Dies on the roll call,
tall handsome Texan. who sits well
back on the democratic side, is sup
posed to arise and answer yea or nay.
When the mail man calls at 5000
Bunker Hill road, Mount Rainier, Nd,
a suburb of the national capital, the
same handsome Texan answers to the
name of Marion Davis.
Representative Marion Dies of the
second Texas district has been known
in Texas and Washington for many
years by that name, which is his real
name. The people of Mount Rainier
welcomed the Texan into their midst
just about a year ago aes Marion Da-
Wis and he is known by tina name and
none other there.
Representative Dies married Miss
Genevieve Miller, his stenographer,
some time ago and has not been seen
about the capitol during the last six
weeks, His friends could not account
for his absence and were fearful lest
some harm had befallen him.
When cold Man Miller" a messen-
ger in the house postoffice, was ask
ed about his son-,nlaw he stated he
knew absolutely nothing about him or
his bride. He did not even admit that
he was connected by marriage with
the Texan congressman.

Davis admitted, when seen at his
bungalow recently. I'm the man
| you're looking for, ! suppose. / have
married the sweetest and best little
woman in the world. We came out
here to get away from people.
"We do not care for society and

les from Uncle sam, l as a congress-
man and my wife as congressman's

Ranchers Cry for Rain.

Astoria, Ore.-Unless relief from
the present drought by heavy rains
comes within the next week, dairy
ranchers declare that the hay crop
will be ruined in this section. Only
the fields on the tidelands give any
promise of even an average yield, and
those on the upper lands will not
produce by half their average.
There is not enough hay in sight
to last until December, and prices of
dairy products will go soaring unless
rain falls soon. Many small dairy
men will be practically forced out of
business. What is left of last years
crop is being held where possible, and
will bring fancny prices should the
crop fail.
