DOES IT MEAN 4 BIG POWER
DAM AT PRIEST RAPIDS;

Engineer Petheram has estab-
lished a small dam at Priest RAPIDS
and has crew of men digging
soundings for anchors of the pro-
posed dam to be constructed in the
Columbia River at the foot of this
mighty power site.
Mr.. Petheram would divulpe no
other news than the above, but the
inference is gathered that consider
able activity is to be seen there this
summer. It is the belief of many
in the valley that this is the first
step toward building the gigantic
dam which will develop thousands
of hydro-electric horse power and
cost several millions Of dollars.

Trade in BOBBY eggs IL one Of the
sights Of Kingston, Jamaica. Long ago
the British seamen gave the name
''bOoby" to several of the species of
gannets, because these fowls are re-
garded as stupid. The eggs are gath
cred in vast quantities on the islets at
certain seasons Of the year and taken
to Port Antonio by the boatload. The
arrival Of a boat with BOBBY eggs is
the occasion Of no little excitement
among the negro women, who buy
them by the box and then sell them by
retail chiefly in Kingston. though they
are also sold in other towns on the is
land. Though sold mostly by the doz-
en- to housekeepers, BOBBY eggs are also
peddled, hard boiled. on the streets of
Kingston. salt and pepper being pro-
vided that the purchasers may eat the
eggs at once. These eggs are about
two-thirds the size Of an ordinary
hens egg and are quite palatable.

about five years old he began crying
With toothache, and after he had kept
Nup for three hours his mother put her
fingers into his mouth and found a
bose tooth and wrenched it out. The
ans day other things happened.
Johpuy cut his heel on an old tin can,

broke his arm.
Johnny Shaw's father was q carpen-
~ and did not even own the house he
WED IN. He intended that the boy
snould learn the same trade, but at the
age OF eighteen Johnny ran away and
vas not heard Of for years. As he was
always talking about the sea, 1t was
imposed that he became a sailor. He
aad been gone year and no news had

MISS PASe0 AWikES

Pasco has at last awoke to the
importance of up-river trade and
through her Chamber of Commerce
is advocating the purchase of a dock
site and the construction of a NUM-
cipal dock. The plan is the out
growth of river improvements urged
at the open river rally recently held
there. -Hanford Columbian.

When the boy. John Shaw. left home
it was at o'clock at night. and his
mother had run in to a neighbours to
borrow something. When the man,
John Shaw. was asked to state how he
left home and the hour, he claimed that
he lowered himself from his window at
midnight This was the first break he
made. The family had dog when he
left. The name was Billy. Shaw gave
the name and breed all right. but when
asked the color he could not give it.
There was big pear tree In the back
yard, and he had eaten of its fruit and
climbed it's trunk many times. Two
years after he went away the tree
blew down. When asked about the
tree the man denied that there had
ever been one there.
During the first days examination
the man was caught about twenty
times. but, on the other hand. he was
correct In some fifty different state
ments. On the second day the proper
ton was about the same. 1t was OF
course argued that one who had been
away for eleven years and passed
through adventures and hardships and
grown from youth to manhood would
naturally forget many things. but there
were many who were far from salts
fed. On the third day came the SUI
preme test. The mother was still stick
ing by the son and was highly fnd1g-
nant at the assertion that he was an
imposter. OF course. she would furnish
no material to help expose him.
On the third day q woman who had
been married about five years came for
ward to testify. At the age Of sixteen
the boy, Shaw. had been madly inslove
with her. On a certain day, which she
and others remembered because of the
burning Of barn. John had proposed
an elopement and marriage and had
been laughed at. Now he could remem-
Der nothing Of the incident In fact.
he denied it, though there were at least
six witnesses to cOrr0bOrate the one on
the stand. The court decided that no
boy of sixteen ever went crazy over
girl and forgot all about it in eleven
years, and John Shaw was held as an
impostor and at his trial was more
fully exposed and sentenced to prison
for three years.
What followed was strange. He con-
fessed to meeting the real Shaw In
Australia. They were partners for
years, and from day to day he pumped
Shaw and secured information. He did
not know Of the legacy. but had the
impression that Shaw's people were
rich. 1t was in knocking about the
world that the fellow. who had various
names. found himself in the United
States. and he determined to play q
game The strange part Of the matter
was that the mother was so readily de.
ceived. Even after the confession she
stuck to the man. ard had her real son
returned home she might have driven

cheer and she rose and bowed. She
waved to the colonel on the platform
and he waved back with his red
bandana.
Both Mr.. Beveridge and Col. Roose-
welt made Intellectual attempts to
quiet the crowd and the colonel wiped
his forehead nervously with his
bandana. An outburst of handclapping
and the long moan of the bull moose
call interrupted just as Chairman
Beverage secured partial quiet. Or
der was finally restored, the demon
stration having lasted f1fty-seven
minutes.
When the crowd got quiet a flash
light picture was taken. A murmur
Of dismay swept the crowd as a
tongue of flame flicked under one of
the big white cotton bags that sur
rounded the hall. The blazing bag
swung high above a gallery where
many women were seated and several
started to run.
Then up along the long iron beams
of the hall climbed uniformed fire
man. He reached the blazing bag and
with his bare hands rolled up the
blazing cloth and extinguished the
fame. A cheer closed the incident.

REGULATING SALE OF INToxI-

Two of the liquor cases in the re-

terday's session, the third one being
again continued until this morning.
Henry Beard and Arthur Banks, col
ored, who were arrested Sunday on the
charge Of selling whiskey, were dis
charged after the recorder had heard
the evidence and the argument of their
attorney. The evidence showed that
in the case of these defendants they
had been furnished the money to go
and purchase some liquor for a third
party, and their attorney called atten-
ton to the ruling of the supreme
court, which makes a person under
these conditions the agent of the third
party and, therefore, not the dealer in
liquor.
The case of J. w. Brown, the white
man who was also arrested Sunday,
was continued and will be taken up
again at this mornings session.

row. The convention adjourned at
1855 until II o'clock tomorrow. The
plan tonight was to have former Sena-
tor Albert J. Beverage continue as
chairman, thus making one man both
temporary and permanent chairman.
The indica tions still are that Governor
Hiram Johnson. Of California, will be
named as vice presidential candidate.
Delegates were slow again today in
reaching their seats in the Coliseum.
At ten minutes to twelve there were
not more than 200 delegates on the
floor.
1t was 12:47 when Chairman Bever-
idge announced the arrival of Col.
Roosevelt at the Coliseum. This was
enough for the delegates and the gal
leries. They jumped to their feet and
cheered. A minute later the colonel
appeared on the stage almost as if by
magic.
In the midst of the deafening din
he stepped onto the insulated speaking
platform under the big sounding
board.
He smiled his appreciation of the
demonstration and bowed to the right
and left. Grinning broadly, he waved
greetings to friends on the stage and
floor.
Roosevelt wore an ever broadening.
chara cteristic smile, as he turned first
in one direction and then another,
acknowledging greetings showered
upon him.
One Of his visitors on the stage dur
ing the demonstration was Gen. John
H. Mcdowell. head of the Tennessee
division of the United Confederate
Veterans. The colonel said he hoped
to bring the north and south to-
gether.
In the meantime, Mrs. Roosevelt
clad in black, appeared in a box. She
carried a bandana and waved it en-
Enthusiastically.
Chairman Beverage tried to quiet
the rumult. but each bang of his gavel
brought only more cheering.
TALKS WITH NEGRO DELEGATES
Two negroes climbed on the stage
The critical negro question was in the
minds Of the crowd and as the colonel
reached out a hand to each of the
blacks, those around them fell back.
For a minute the three stood in a little
knoll. They gesticulated and talked
wildly, the negroes listening, their
faces serious. When the colonel con-
cluded one of the blacks pounded him
on the shoulder. The three men stood
hand in hand. The crowd yelled. The
negroes were J. c. Gilmer and c. H.
James, delegates from West Virginia
The demonstration had been in pro
gress forty five minutes before the
delegates recognized Mrs. Roosevelt in

Washington, Aug. 5.-When Miss
Lucy Louise Sandberg, a young wom-
an lawyer of this town, was offered a
splendid position as Juvenile court at
torney for the council Of Jewish women
Of Boston recently, she declined it.

Sandberg was making a living in
Washington. And the capital city,
as everyone knows. already has more
lawyers to the square inch than al
most any other town that can be
named.
Miss Sandberg is a graduate of the
Boston University law school and
practiced her profession in the Hub
city for two years before coming
