LOCAL MAN CAUGHT
IN PORTLAND RAID

The following story from the Port

interesting to Pendleton people be-
cause of the fact that the gambling
joint mentioned is said TO be owned

cording to Tom Word, ex-sheriff, was

against a number of other equally OBJ
jectionable resorts that are said to
be conducted for gambling purposes
in the heart of the business district.
The raid on the Orpheus was the
result of the personal efforts of Mr..
Word who swore to the warrant
which occasioned the visitation of the
police authorities.
Directly responsible for the raid
ing of the Orpheum Club was the
falling from grace of Will C. Gibson.
a paroled prisoner from the Oregon
penitentiary and a ward of Mr.. Word.
1t was due to the efforts of Mr..
Word that Gibson was paroled and
allowed to return to Portland where
he behaved himself commercially
until short time ago, when it de-
veloped that he had issued forged
checks.

Sometimes the floral spathe of a

sound like a detonation in a mine.
Such an event occurred in the bo.an-
ical garden iii Algiers recently. The
spathe, nearly three feet long. was
projected to great distance, and for
some moments the head Of the palm
tree was wreathed with golden dust
formed of the debris of the flower. The
suns heat had roasted the flower to
the color of rust. The director Of the
garden explained the explosion as be-
ing due to a fermentation in the flow
