A BROOKS STORE
BURGLARIZED
LAST NIGHT

Advices were received this morn
ing by Sheriff Minto from the officers
at Brooks informing him that the
Ramp & Ramp store was burglarized
last night and asking him to keep a
lookout for the burglars. f1
The burglars made their entrance
to the store by breaking lock on
the rear door. THE safe was rifed
but nothing of value obtained, save
certain documents After taking
these the burglars turned their atten-
tion to the stock of merchandise and
number of articles in the way Of
clothing were stolen.
This is the second time this year
that this store has been burglarized.

Evidently believing that the JUS
tices of the peace and the majority of
county officers had but little need Of
a set of Lords Oregon Laws but that
it was essential to the welfare of the
good state of Oregon that the mem
bers of the legislature be provided
with them, the last legislature by
resolution and afterwards by law ap-
propriated to each member two sets
and at the same time repealed law
giving a set to the justice of the
peace and the county officers.
Take by Resolution.
When the last legislature con-
vened-and it had hardly convened at
that-both the senate and house
passed a resolution that each men,
Der be provided with copy of Lords
Oregon Laws. The house went the
senate one better and also provided
its members with costly digest con-
tanning the decisions of the supreme
court of Oregon and cases in point
from other states, Some one in the
senate tried to get that kind of a
resolution through that body Also
but it was too much for the dignifed
senators and they voted it down.
Take By Law.
Along towards the last of the ses-
sion the legislature passed a law on
the subject and which provided that
each legislator should have a set of
the laws. Now the legislature of
1909 after much mature reflection on
the subject decided that the justice
of the peace should be given each a
set of the states laws and passed an
act to that effect. The last legisla-
ture with equally as mature a re-
Election but with less of it in the same
law appropriating to themselves
set, repealed this law, and provided
that only the sheriff, county treasur-
er, assessor and county courts should
have sets.
That leaves the justices of the
peace and the other county officers
out in the cold.

APRIL TERM
WILL OPEN
NEXT MONDAY
JURY TO MAKE FINAL RE-
PORT SATURDAY-FIRST CASE
UP FOR TRIAL is THAT OF
OROURKE FOR STABBING
GUARD SIMPSON AT THE PEN.

After dismissing a number of cases
and listening to motions in others,
Judge Kelly yesterday afternoon ad-
journed court until o'clock Satur-
day evening when he will convene it
for short time in order to receive
the final report of the grand jury.
The grand jury returned seven true
bills yesterday morning but has suf-
ficient work to keep it busy until late
Saturday afternoon and it is expected
when it marches into court that it
will return large number more of
indictments.
The court will convene for the reg
ular April term Monday morning at
8 o'clock. The forenoon will be
spent in disposing of motions and
hearing applications for citizenship
and in the afternoon the work of try
ing cases will begin.
O'ROurke Cases Comes First.
The first case scheduled for trial is
that of the State against Thomas
0Rourke, charged with an assault
with a deadly weapon upon the per-
son of Jerry Simpson, guard at the
state penitentiary. O'Rourke was in
dicted at a former session of the
grand jury but his case was post
poned until the April term. Accord
ing to the story of the state prison
officials ORourke had been directed
to have his hair cut and refused to
obey the order and t'hen Simpson
sought to compel him to do so he
stabbed him with a knife. The pen
atty for the crime is death, and in
view of the severity of it the case
will be a hardly contested one.

CAMpHOR BECOMING ScARCER

MOST of the worlds supply of camphor
AvA comes from Japan and Formosa. Of
late years the demand has begun to exceed
the supply, and the question has arisen how
the latter can be maintained. One of the
reasons why camphor is becoming scarcer
and dearer is said to be that it is extensively
used in the manufacture OF celluloid. At
present camphor is produced mainly from
the SO called camphor tree, which attains a
gigantic size in Japan, one specimen recently
measured being one hundred and fifteen feet
tall and having trunk over fourteen and
one-half feet in diameter.
The tree is common in China; but as yet
the production of camphor in that country
IS very limited.
1t is said that camphor can be produced
from other species of trees. In Borneo a
very aromatic camphor is obtained from the
natural deposits of gum on the trunk Of a
species of tree indigenous to that island and
Sumatra. Borneo camphor is rare and very
costly.
