where, after making ourselves known,
Craig made arrangements for a raid
on the house across the street from

opera glass reflection. II"
Then, as secretly as we had come,
we went out. again, letting ourselves
into the laboratory, stealthily looking
up and down the street We entered
by basement door, which Kennedy
carefully locked again. =..
No sooner had we disappeared than
one of the Clutching Hands spies,
who had been watching behind bar

hand down the street to confeder-

means of skeleton key. "..-~ :.
We entered our laboratory which
Kennedy had closed the day before.

his thumb at the ship. :"
YES" added the other crook, "and
lost most of their baggage, too"
Slowly the car proceeded through
the streets up from the river front,
followed by the taxicab, until at last
the Dodge mansion was reached.

slowly in. #s>...

A moment later Aunt Josephine left
her and Elaine went into the library
and over to table. She stood there
an instant, then sank down into a
chair, taking up Kennedy's picture
and gazing at it with eyes fille3 with
tears ........
Just then Jennings came into the
room, ushering the two porters laden
with the boxes and bags.

"oh--anywhere," she answered hur-

Elaine glanced at him surprised.
Then she nodded to Jennings, who
disappeared. AS he did so, the Irish
man limped to the door and drew to-
gether the portieres.
Then he came back closer to Elaine.
A moment she looked at him, not
quite knowing from his strange ac
lions whether to call for help or not.
At motion from Kennedy, as he
pulled. off his wig, l pulled off the
little false beard. --..

Already we could hear the ham
mers and axes of the police whom
Kennedy had called upon before. IS
they battered at this outside door.
At that door a moment before the
lookout suddenly had given. startled
stare and suppressed cry. CHANGING
down the street he had seen q police
patrol in which were a score or more
Of the strong-arm squad. They had
jumped out, some carrying sledge-
hammers, others axes.
Almost before he could cry out and
retreat TO give a warning they had
reached the door and the first re-
sounding blows had been struck.
The lookout quickly had fed and
drawn the bolts of a strong inner
door. and the police began battering
that impeachment
Instantly Clutching Hand turned to
LeCroix at the Fray machine.
Finish them" he shouted.
We were now backed UP against q
small ell in the wall of the cellar. n
was barely large enough to hold US,
but by crowding we were able to keep
out of the reach OF the ray. The ray
shot past the ell and struck the wall q
couple of inches from US.

crumble under the intense heat
Meanwhile the police were having
great difficulty with the steel bolt

to LeCroix.

to avoid the ray, he took the asbestos

that part of the ray which was defect

in the corner, which was of wood. In

Above US now smoke was pouring
into the room where the DETECTED ray
struck the floor and flames broke out.
. "Confound him!" ground out Clutch
ing Hand, as they saw it.
The other crooks backed away and
stood hesitating, not knowing quite
what to do. $500.
The police had by this time finished
battering in the door and had rushed
into the outer passage.
While the flames leaped up, the
crooks closed the last door into the
room.

they opened secret gate, disclosing
a spiral fight of iron, steps.
A moment later all had disappeared
except Clutching Hand himself. The,
last door would hold only few Sec
onds, but Clutching Hand was waiting
to take advantage of even that. With
a last frantic effort he sought to d.
rect the terrible ray at US. Elaine
acted instantly. With all her strength
she rushed forward, overturning the

We are receiving shipments ire
quently which indicate to us that the
entire flock OF poultry has been gath
cred up from the farm and delivered
in n shipment. Unless the farmer
quickly realizes the handicap this Is
going to be to him, we predict that the
Pacific Northwest will be short OF
poultry. We attribute this class OF
shipments to the high price OF feed.
No matter what the cause may be the
farmer should certainly keep enough
poultry on hand to supply his needs
for breeding and laying purposes for
the year 1915.

Lumber Industry Should
Lose Depression in 1915

BY Edward T. Allen. Forester. Western
Forestry and Conservation Association.
-HE greatest industrial activity Of
the Pacific Northwest-forest in
= dustry-has found 1914 a dis
turbing year. Lumber has not brought
the cost of manufacture and a par
ticularly hazardous forest fire season
involved great expense in protecting
the raw material. To some extent
the depression has been caused by the
war and other accidental influences,
but a deeper-seated unsatisfactory
condition seems also evident and the
welfare Of the entire community is
so dependent upon its great lumber
ing industry that even the Govern
ment has recognized the need of study
and remedy. The United States For
est Service and the Department of
Commerce and Labor are cooperating
with lumbermen in such a study. A
similar situation exists in British
Columbia.
At a forest industry conference
held a few days ago in Tacoma, In
der the auspices of the Western For
estry and Conservation Association,
representatives of Federal, state, Do
minion and provincial governments
met with lumbermen and timber own
ers from Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton, Oregon, California and British
Columbia to discuss forest protection
and numbering problems. Nearly a
third of the standing timber in the
United States was represented. One
Of the most prominent speakers, the
Chief Forester of British Columbia
summed up the situation a S follows:
"The present depression in the lum'
Der industry respects no boundary

suitable horses for their armies and
shipping them back to the lands
where our foundation stock was pro-
cured from and thousands of head Of
horses have been sold to these gov
ernments. The Belgian and Perch
eron horses in their native countries
are not plentiful enough to supply the
local demand and the wastefulness of
war is causing them to be still more
scarce. This condition gives a foreign
demand for our surplus horses at a
fairly high price, and there will be
sale for the horses which we have to
offer for some time to come.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-07

and the continual demand for flour
will bring a considerable sum of
money into Oregon, Washington and
Idaho during 1915.
Many small manufacturing plants,
that have been idle for months, have
resumed operation.
The recent increase in freight rates
allowed the railroad by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission has
caused the railroads to place millions
of dollars in orders for cars, engines,
ties, etc., and many more will fol-
low.
In this section there are several
hundred mills manufacturing ties and
heavy timber for general construc-
ton. These mills have been idle,
throwing thousands of men out Of en-
ployment.
The resumption of railway I'M
provement has already caused a big
demand for supplies, which should
cause a great many of these smaller
mills to resume operation at once.
This, coupled with the splendid price
and general demand for everything
that comes from the farm, causes US
to predict a general improvement Of
financial conditions throughout the
Pacific Northwest.
No doubt some good has come
from the agitation against the rail-
roads and corporations in general, but
we believe the time has come when
such agitation should cease and thai
everything should be done to en-
courage the railroads and every Other
line of business to resume operation

sxssE have recently had a report
M on the crop conditions of the
w Pacific Northwest and we find
that these reports indicate that there
has been an increase in the wheat
acreage of about 10 per cent. We also
find that crop conditions were never
better in general at this time of year
and there never was as great a
foreign demand for wheat and bread
stuffs, as at the present time. Sales
reports indicate that more than 80
per cent of the available wheat is
now sold. This has already brought
millions of dollars into this territory

Livestock Industry Viii.
Receive Impetus From War
BY d. II. Detchon, Editor Livestock
Reporter.

BY ID. II. DetchOn, Editor Livestock
Reporter.
lew livestock men are complain
ing of their lot this Winter
and the new year comes with
many things for them to be thankful
for. Of all countries in the world,
this country is in best condition ag-
riculturally and this Northwestern
country is the best section of the
whole country.
We are not only at peace with the
whole world, but we are called upon
to help feed a half-world at war.
Prices of livestock are not as high as
they have been, but they are remuner-
alive and there is a market for all
food animals that are being offered.
Cattle, hogs and sheep are readily
taken at this market and a profitable
cash price is realized for all offerings.
To produce enough meat animals
to supply the worlds demand will be
a problem for the next year or two,
and there is little danger that the
market for such animals will reach
an Improbable condition. At the
outbreak Of hostilities in Europe,
gold and food animals were promptly
prohibited from expectation and the
home supply was conserved for home
use. The supply Of food animals
must be nearly exhausted before
peace comes and when peace does
come, a few years of breeding up and
of raising all the calves, pigs and
lambs will be necessary to replace the
livestock on the European farms.
While the flocks and herds are being
renewed in the European countries,
these countries will still need to buy
meat abroad. Wheat fields a be
returned to full production with one
seeding, but food animals will not
reproduce so abundantly the first
year, and we shall have a foreign
market for food animals for several
years.
Not Expect Big Prices.
We shall probably not receive ex-
, brilliantly high prices for the ami
: mails we sell and 1t would not be tt
. the best interests Of the livestock In
} dustry to have prices prohibitive sc
: as to force consumers to curtail the
!, use of meat or turn to substitutes
. We shall have a market for every an
: imal we raise at remuneratlve prices
And the difficulties in raising live
: stock in the Northwest are less thar
those confronting many sections o
I the country. The dreaded foot-and
mouth disease did not get a footholt
in this section and the outbreaks o
hog cholera have not been as sever
. as they have been in some sections
I of the East. Serum plants have beel
, established in our own part of tn
I country and clean, effective serum !
e supplied to the hog raiser at nomina
d cost, so that he need not fear tn
e cholera If it does appear in his local
t ity. The sheep raiser who will follow
o the few simple rules of his bushes
r will not have stomach-worms, grub
r or foot rot in his herds in this coun
a try. The sheep business bids fair t
! be a profitable industry, too, with tn
s consumption of mutton on the In
0 crease and the price of wool at
S profitable level.
