Cousin of Ashland
Citizen Is Killed

John McWilliams, the cousin of F.
G. McWilliams of this city, was
killed in North Platte, Neb, in an
auto accident May 22.
John McWilliams and wife we're
riding in their automobile and at
tempted to cross the railroad tracks
at Willow street and were struck by
fast express train. He had driven
up to the crossing in his car and
there was freight train going west;
he was going north. He had to wait
until the freight passed over the
crossing, when he started his auto
mobile-the freight train obstructing
his view to the west. AS he reached
the middle of the tracks his engine
stalled and the unforeseen train
struck the car, killing him instantly
and injuring his wife very seriously.

Multnomah and Marion counties have

Roof Caves In;
Remodel Building

Thursday afternoon a near-fatal
accident occurred at the Odd Fellows
hall. The workmen were busy re-
modelling the building and fixing up
the banquet room The roof had
been trussed up solidly. However,
an iron washer was defective and
gave way, taking away the strength
from the trussing. Clayton Borror
was the only person in the room at
the time of the accident, and, seeing
the cracking roof, betook himself to
safer quarters. Imediately the roof
fell with a crash. The roof was eX-
ceptionally heavy, because of about
a foot and a half of dirt that was
in above the ceiling, which had been
put there as a protection against fire.
If the cracking of the roof had not
given warning, Clayton Borror would
have probably been seriously hurt.
Mr.. Ogg, William Myers and son
Cedric were also in the building at
the time of the crash.
AS a result of the demolishing of
the roof the Odd Fellows have decid-
ed to remodel the upper story. A
new roof will be constructed over the
whole building. The new plans
place the main lodge room running
from front to back and it will be 60
by 80 in dimensions This will be
on the left. On the right of the
structure there will be provided a
banquet room 40 by 20, kitchen, law
atory, paraphernalia rooms and rest
parlors.

A DREAM AND A LETTER.
Maybe Merely a coineidence, Maybe a
Spirit Message.

The following story of dream was
told TO a correspondent by an acquaint-
ance who is about as stolid and unim-
aginatiVe man as one could meet:
He had friend of whom he had lost
sight of for some time. This friend
committed suicide and one night. soon
after he had done so, the unimagina-
tive man dreamed that he was walk
ing along street after dusk when the
bust of the dead man appeared to him
so, and it led himSto a house. the door
of which was open, and then mp some
stairs TO room where there was a
table on which lay a number of books,
all of which were lying open.
The dead man had been great read
er and therefore there was nothing un-
usual in the spectacle of a great many
books in his room. The bust turned
to the unimaginative man and begged
him 10 turn over a page of each book
so that ii might continue to read. He
did SO. and he remembers that the
bust became petulant when he turned
over two pages in mistake. When all
the pages were turned the bust appear
ed to be happy.
The dreamer awOke and told his wife
about ii. When he went down to
breakfast he found letter lying on
the table bearing the pOstmark of a
town of which he had no knowledge
other than its name. He had never
been there. nor. so far as he was
| aware. had the dead man, nor had he
any friends or relatives in the town.
The only relative of the dead man of
whom he had any knowledge lived in
another city.
When he opened the envelope he
found inside it small photograph OF
the dead man. showing his bust only.
There was not any letter inclosed with
it, nor anything TO denote by whom it
had been sent. and to this day he does
not know from whom he received it.

Method OF Keeping Garments Nice ana

The usual method Of preparing n
closet for the proper keeping of wear
ing apparel is to place row Of hooks
Halong the back and ends. with possibly
long rod extending, from one end to
the other. from which hangers may
be suspended.
AS we all know. this means that gar
ments that hang In the rear are not
very easy to get at. Only those on the
rod are in evidence. For the others
we grope bllndly, grasping skirt to
discover whether it is the blue serge,
the gray voile or the white mohair we
want. And as for the things suspend
ed on the hooks behind. they might as
well be in trunks and boxes as far as
distinguishing one from the other goes.
Now Some clever woman has found
that by fixing a swinging rack-very
much on the order of the towel rack,

ity as well as the convenience is tire.

wood. so they can be doubled, with
light clamps on the outer ends that
slip in a groove. holding fast anything
| placed between. in this way half a
dozen pairs Of trousers or the same
number OF skirts, hung by folded belts,
may be nicely and neatly kept in or.
der on one rack, and If there are two,
