Spangle at Head Of

Big Chicago Shoot

men out OF the .tctal entry list of S4i
who were handicapped TO the limit.
the 22 yard line. ,...... a.
G.. w. LQrimcr, OF Ohio, broke 9S
out of 100 birds In the Grand Ameri-
can event, shooting from IS yards.
Spangle shooting frcm 22 wards broke
sb out of 100, tying Jess 1'roeh. or
Portland and Arnold T,roeh, OF van
couyer. The latter shot from 21
yards. Frank Troeh, w,nner of all tho
northwest shoots, made but 02 from
the 22 yard line. while Jim SeaSey.
winner of the state .ilte in Pendleton
last May, was able to break only 80.
Spangle's showing at Chicago Is
remarkable in the face OF
the competition. His name appears
thirty third In the list although only
one other man shooting from 22 yards
broke 95. He should thus be rated
twentieth or twentyfirst as there were
three with 9S, two with 81 and IL
with 90 scores.
OF the 90 men who shot from the
20 yard line, only four were amons
the first 400 in the Grand American.
That position entitled them to a shave
in the prize money. Three OF the four
made 95 and tho fourth broke 93. NO
one under 9B shared in the money.
Spangle says the shooting was hard
to beat as in every event II took l0o
straight to win. except in the Grand
American. That his average should
have been above sc per cent for 400
targets under conditions Is compif-
nent TO the local boy. Further word
from him on the final outcome OF the
shoot is looked for daily.

FIRE DAMAGES PLANT
FELL CLEANING WORKS

The cleaning plant and garage be-
longing to George Fell. i23 Bush street,
were destroyed by fire which was dis
covered at 2:30 this afternoon and of
uncertain origin. Quick work by the
fire department saved the house in
front of the burning buildings and
nearby residences.
Whether a grass fire from without
ignited the building is not known by
Mrs. Fell. She fears that smoke and
water may have done considerable
damage. although up to press time she
had had no opportunity to estimate
damage.
The fire department made quick
work of answering the alarm and once
stream was played on the flames
they were quickly extinguished.

A friend writes US that one reason
for the increasing high prices is that
the newspapers keep predicting that
prices are going up. He says that IL
a campaign were started to lower
prices, with the slogan, prices are
sure to come down." that it would
make people buy more slowly and
carefully, thus lessening the demand
and preventing the creation of a
shortage. There is a good deal in
this, and this paper has more than
once made an intimation along these
lines. Prices must and will come
down eventually-that is sure. The
thing that is standing in the way Of
that contamination at this time IA
the idleness of many, and the conse-
quent halt In production. AS soon as
the strikes are settled and people 90
back to work, prices will come down
Until then material decline in prices
Is not probable.

MEN SAY OF MEMORIAL

New York, Oct. 14.-President
William Boyce Thompson of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association had
received many letters from prominent
writer's and editors endorsing the
work of the Association in perpetual

Roosevelt.
Henry Van Dyke, former United
States Minister to the Netherlands,
and famous a an author, writes:
Theodore Roosevelt can not pos
sibly be forgotten In the history Of
the world. All the more reason why
America should erect a worthy me-
mortal of a man so memorable. .
Robert Grant, Judge Of the Probate
Court of Boston, and we'll known as
a novelist, writes:
"The purpose of the national COM
nittee of his friends will best he real
, lied if the funds be raised by con-
,ributions small or large from his
millions of admirers throughout the
Union. His greatness was of the dy-
manic order; he dwarfed us all by

asm, which kindled in behalf of ma
tsonal righteousness were in their
highest moments irresistible, kepin.
US faithful to our ideals. Every inch
a man, with all the attributes of stall
wart manliness, he was instinct with
the best Of what we call American
ism,-that courage Of conviction
which stands fast for all it holds to
be true, yet meets every man half way
in the spirit of appreciation and hui
man brotherhood. Even his faults
were those of temperament too like
a mountain torrent not at times to
overflow. He sought the votes Of
but never truckled to, the people OF
our Republic; so he stood first in
their affections, for they were sure Of
his sincerity"

We've been predicting that folks
would learn to live without work
after q while, and 1t looks like an
important step in that direction was
accomplished this week when the
Literary Digest printed its publica-
ton from plates made direct from
typewriter sheets, without the set
ting of type. The printers struck,
and there being nobody to set the
type, the typesetting was cut out and
the paper printed just the same.
That's one way to combat a strike
that very likely won't appeal to the
strikers.
