given no reason for the refusal
Attorney Roden said the old contract

effective as if it were duly signed. Mr.
Banks had accepted it's terms in open
meeting, and that was all that is
necessary.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Bradley
Mr.. Banks was sent for When he ar
rived he WIS asked why he had refused
to sign the contract. he answered
that the contract was perfectly salts
factory, but he had failed in an attempt
to get wood, and therefore he did not
sign it.
Mayor Barnes asked il anybody had
any Suggestions 10 make. MI. HOueQ
said Banks had become unnecessarily
alarmed. He does not need d great
deal of wood. The citys credit is i'm
proving all the time. Banks came
forward and signed.

poundmaster till the ordinance was
passed. Mr.. Auten said that dogs being

4. {. MALTBY MANAGER
FOR WILLIAM 4. GILMORE

Iditarod, April 13.-(F From the Nome
Nugget. = a. E. Maltby, formerly
United States commissioner for the
lditarod, and at one time a Fairbanks
attorney, has announced he is now the
campaign manager for the Republican
nominee, w. A Gilmore, of Nome, in
the Innoko valley.
The Republicans are now organizing
and the Wickersham men having been
convinced Gilmore accepted the noni-
nation upon the strength of letter
written by the delegate, they are
falling into line and it looks as if the
solid Republican vote with Maltby as
campaign manager will be polled for
the Nome man.

The New Grow"

Mr.. Watson complained of the fact
that women had moved into the block
just east of the creek on Third street.
Mr. Saunders also said he would like to
see the matter attended to.
Councilman Bradley declared nobody
was kicking about the women NOV
ing into that part of the street ex-
cept Saunders and Watson. He
further said that Watson was mad be-
cause he failed to get the girls as
boarders. The councilman claimed
that in encouraging women to occupy
the new block he had kept them from
moving in behind Miller's presumably
on Caribou street,; he does pot have
good opinion of men who go around
such places and then tell what they see.
Mr.. Saunders had said his residence is
so situated that his family or visitors
cannot look out Of either window with
out seeing what is taking place along
the row of houses in question. The
old quarters were not in such plain
view. Bradley said Saunders is lucky
to have window to look out Of; that
if he should cease to be pensioner of
the N. G. Co he would not remain so
well fixed long. BY the women occu-
plying the new quarters, Bradley de-
clared he was enabled to dispose of his

RODEO WAS SUCCESS.
Klamath Falls Elks Close First An
nual Roundup.

The first annual roundup under
the auspices of the klamath Falls
lodge of Elks came to a close Sunday
after the best program of the kind
ever produced in the west had been
enjoyed by a crowd of several thou
sand persons.
Only one man was hurt in the final
days program. r. Chambers was hit
on the head by the fore feet of Lum-
poe, buCking horse which J Judd
was to ride. The horse got away and
ran for the paddock and judas ride
was delayed for half an hour while
other riders took part in the prelimi-
naries which preceded the semi
finals in the bucking contest. Cham
bers' head was badly cut but his in
juries are not serious enough to keep
him away from the arena after his
head had been bandaged.

raised by popular subscription for
the disqualified riders in the buck

CONSTRUCTION OF LINE STOPPED
Oregon Electric Finds Difficulties in
Albany.

Albany, Ore.-The work on the
Oregon Electric line on Fifth street
in this city was held up Tuesday
night by an injunction served by the
owners of the albany Street Railway.
This line is owned by the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern and is one of the
Welch holdings. The work of laying
the line on Fifth street had pro-
gressed to Lyon street, when on
starting to cross the street railway
line the wOrkmen were met with op-
position, and Immediately a car
owned by the Welch company was
placed across the place wwhere the
desired crossing was to be made, and
business was stopped for the time be-
ing. Soon after when undertaking
measures to force their way across,
the wOrkmen were served with in
junction papers
Before this the construction gang
had already crossed the line of the
Corvallis q Eastern. Hartman
property, and no further opposition
was expected. The citizens of AL
bany are wrathy over the action of
the Welch company and all kinds of
threats We're heard against the man
agement when the obstruction was
first discovered It is expected that
the courts will adiudicate the matter
and the crossing be made in very
short time.

A Cheerful Reason.

A French governor OF the south Pa:

his authority while the natives Of New
Caledonia were still cannibals. There
had been rumOrs of an insnrrection,
and the admiral called before him n
native chief. who was faithful to the
French cause. and questioned him as
to their truth.
You may be sure" said the native,
that there will be no war at present,
because the yams are yet far from be-
ing ripe"
The yams. you say?"
"Yes. Our people never make war
except when the yams are ripe"
why is thatT
because baked yams so so very well

STAMP MILL STARTED.
Mill Near Murphy Now Running
TWelVe-HOur Shift.

Superintendent George H. Tubbs
states that the five-stamp mill on the
property of the Oregon Strong Ledge
mine formerly known as the Michi-
gan mine), near Murphy, was started
up last week and is now running a
12-hour shift and has II men at
work.
In order to operate the mine it is
necessary to pump water 200 feet
and with the present reservoir. it is
impractical to operate more than the
II hours daily. Additional reservoir
space will be constructed, which,
with operating the pumps for 10
hours, will give sufficient water to
run the stamp mill "a hours. The
mill has capacity of % tons for the

Its Invention Was the Result of . Cut
on the Finger.
An accident-a cut on the finger
caused Edison to invent the phono
graph or talking machine.
Mr.. Edison told the story OF this in
vention to a reporter. AT the time. ne
said. he was singing into a Telephone.
and in the telephones mouthpiece ne
had placed, for safe keeping. a lne
steel point. Suddenly this point cut
his finger. He found. to his surprise.
that it had been moving here and there
and roundabout, guided by the vibra.
lions OF his voice.
He placed a strip OF yellow paper
under the steel point. replaced 1t In the
mouthpiece and said the alphabet. The
steel while be spoke ran over the pa.
per. and for each letter of the alphabet
1t made different mark or scratch.
This was what Mr.. Edison had hoped
for. BE now held the steel point still
and drew the paper scratches slowly
over 1t. There was given forth. very
family. the alphabet as he had repeat
ed it.
Thus the principle of the phonograph

of the voices vibrutions-was discov.
cred through the cutting of finger. 1t
was Edison's finger. though. that was
cut. Smiths or Browns might have
been quite hacked Off and no phono.
