APES OF GIBRALTAR.
They Are Highly Priced and Protected
by the Authorities.

The rock of Gibraltar is the home Of
highly priced and carefully protect
ed tribe of Barbary apes. The chief
of this tribe is one Major, and In
Gibraltar there is a saying that it
were better to kill the governor than
Major"
This band of apes numbers about
twenty. They came, mysteriously
enough, from Africa many years ago
and claimed citizenship in Europe.
They are duly protected by the author.
tiles, and any addition by birth to
their number is carefully chronicled
and announced in the local paper.
These apes transfer their abode from
time to time, according to the state Of
the weather, from the highest peaks
of the rock to lower and more shelter
ed places. They indulge their sense Of
humor at times by throwing stones at
the soldiers They may not be seen
for weeks at a time, save in the early
morning hours.
A few years ago, on account Of the
diminishing numbers of these crea-
lures, some apes were procured from
Barbary and turned loose upon the
rock, but the resident apes killed them
all. Although so fierce to intruders Of
their own kind, they never attack hui
man beings and are greatly esteemed.

Municipai Grsnaries,

For more than two centuries the au.
thorities Of London maintained munici.
pal granaries, the first one having been
established by Sir Stephen Brown, lord
mayor. in 1888. By means of these
city granaries the authorities held the
corn badgers" In check and regulated
not only the price of corn, but Of bread.
The great fire in London destroyed the
last Of these granaries and also the
public mills and ovens In which the
city's grain was ground and baked, and
the system was not thereafter intro
duced, chiefly because the general laws
against grain spectators were suffl.
cient to restrain undue speculation.
Corn markets were held, however. as
late as the beginning Of the eighteenth
century at Bear quay, in Thames
street, London. while Queenhithe was
the chief market for -four and meal.
and later the metropolitan trade cen.
tered in the world famous Corn Ex.

SIX inch SNOW
ON MONDAY NIGHT

After three days respite. Hood
River has again been in the grip of
snow, and after fall of six inches of

wheeled vehicles again gave way to

Ferry service is still at a standstill

the wealthy stockman. Bidwell Cram,

P. P. & |. CO. SEEKS
TO ENJOIN DISTRICT

The Pacific Power & Light Co.. own
ing according to the complaint all
riparian rights for a stretch of FIVE
miles along the Hood river, has filed a
suit in the district federal court in
Portland against the East Fork lrriga-
tion District, seeking to enjoin the dis
trict from using any water which
may interfere with the plaintiff cor
poration's riparian rights and from
interfering in any manner with the
natural flow of the East Fork of Hood
River, on which is located the intake
of the irrigation system.
The power concern in its complaint
alleges that it has an investment of
upward of $500. 600 involved in proper
ties along the river, and that it will be
damaged upwards of 500, 900 in case
of failure to secure the relief asked.
Geo. r. Wilbur, attorney for the dis
trict. who was served with papers yes
terday afternoon, summoning him to a
hearing of the case before Judge VOL.
verton on February Ia. says that the
irrigation district has an investment of
5000, 900, exclusive of water rights.
"The system waters $4,000 acres Of
orchard land. the assessed valuation of
which is S2.300,000. he says, ''and
ranchers declare that their property is
valueless without water"

THE MAMERTINE PRISON.
Where King Jugurtha and ST. Paul
Were lmmured.

Were lmmured.
The reputed place of st. Paul's long
Imprisonment, the Forum, is the center
of the noblest ruin of Rome. Not far
from the center of the busy, noisy,
modern city rise the Scared ruins of
her ancient glory. Here are the temple
of Saturn, with its eight columns; the
often copied three columns Of the
temple Of Castor and Pollux, the arch
of Septimius Severus, the temples of
Vesta and Caesar and many other ia.
nous ruins, and beyond are the pal
aces of the Caesars. Not far away is
the magnificent column of Traian, 147
feet in height, around which run re.
liefS of the emperor's wars, containing,
II is said, over $500 sculptured human
figures.
Close to the entrance to the Forum,
this most wonderful collection Of the
ruined monuments of ancient times, is
a small church called the Church of
st. Giuseppi del Falegnani. Under this
church are two dungeons, an upper and
Il lower, called the Mamertine prison,
and from hole in the upper chamber
prisoners were lowered into the moi
some hole below, sometimes to perish
miserably of starvation, as did Jugur-
tha. king of Numidia with whom
schoOlboys become so familiar In their
first year of Latin.
In this dungeon, uncOunted thousands
Of Christians believe, st. Paul and st.
Peter were immured, and every year

sentatives of all the churches of Rome
assemble by torchlight and "in solemn
silence kneel in front of the tradition.

Famous Abductions,

Marriage by abduction was by no
means uncommon In the early ages
The daughter Of the king Of Argus
was abducted by PhOenician. The
Greeks carried off Europa from Tyre
and Medea from Colchis.
Next to the abduction of the fair
Helen, perhaps the most remarkable
in its political consequences was the
king Of Leinster's taking away Of the
wife of neighboring petty sovereign,
O'Rourke of Breffni.
The king of COnnaught avenged the
Insult and drove from the throne his
brother of Leinster, who appealed to
Henry H. Of England for aid to recov-
er his lost sovereignty. The Norman
conquest of Ireland followed, with cen
turtles of war and devastation.
