' Reliable Insurance F. E- Donaldsoa. Skinned Alive. A child was taken sick at its home near town last week and the parents not knowing what to do for the child, which had symptoms ol pneumonia, were persuaded by an old woman to skin two cats alive and wrap the child up in them. The chil l im proved of course and would if warm cloths had been usel instead of the cat eking. The worst of it was that the cats were left to die instead of being killed as axon as skins were taken off. If the cats had been skinned after being killed the heat would have still been in the hides. Where is our humane society? 10 E I j Ins. Companies F. E. Doraldsos. Not a Public Bbidob. Commissioner Frank Jaggar appeared before the Port land water committee on Tuesday to ask that the pipe-line bridge across Bull Run be thrown open ai a county bridge. lie stated that the county bridge which had been built about 11 yean ago, was rotten, and had been condemned about the time the pipe-line bridge was completed, and that, shortly after this, the pipe-line bridge had been closed. He said there was ury little travel on this road, and the county commissioners would like to have the pipe-line bridge thrown open. Their chief engineer was consulted in regard to the matter, and stated that the bridge was some 80 feet above the water, and had a span of 200 feet and that it would not be advis ablo to open the bridge to public travel, as the vibration from teams crossing would be liable to injure the riveted pipe. The secretary was directed to inform the county commissioners of Clackamas county that, owing to the fact that the city's water supply depended on the pipe line, and in view of the liability to damage, it would be im practicable to throw the bridgo open to the public.

Locks Canal Break About 60 lineal feet of wall and bottom of the canal on the west side were carried away on Saturday. The steamer Eugene was going through the locks when the captain noticed the wall was giving away in front of him and immediately reversed the engines and backed down through the locks. If he had gone a few feet further the boat would have been drawn through the break and smashed to pieces on the rocks below. The contractors on the powerhouse ex'ension were excavating under the canal and that weakened the already rotten timbers and caused the break. It is expected thut the canal will be repaired by Monday so boats can go through and the paper mills run. Some of the old wall that stands will be re placed too. The electric powerhouse gets its power from a separate canal and continues to run. Cass Barlow is Trouble Again. C. U. Barlow of Barlow was arrested Sat urday on a charge of embezzlement.
