When state engl neers employed in surveying for a state highway leading from Dayton, attempted Tuesday to pass through the Wlndust ranch, three miles west i of here, they confronted an arsenal manned by two women, Mrs. Lewis Windust and Mrs. Pete Swanson, who armed with revolvers, declared they I would shoot the first man who cross- 1 ed the fence.

A sarcastic comment J upon the present economical admin-1 istration was received by the Secre tary of the Treasury from a person signing himself "J 500 clerk" as fol lows: "During the past year, by omitting to cross my 't's' or dotting 'i s, I have saved the government two cents in Ink. Will you please add this to my salary? I am now using my lead pencil down to one-half inch. I hope in this way to save another cent Long live this economical administration. "I am short of paper or I would write longer letter. We are one year nearer the poor house." Tomorrow and Saturday are to be cleaning up days in Pendleton and according to an announcement made last evening at the council meeting by Mayor Murphy, the work .is to be more systematically done than in the past. Though former cleaning up days have been considered successful and have resulted In great improve ment to the appearance and sanitary condition of the city, there have al ways been a few In each section of the city who have refused or neglect ed to pay any attention to the event and have not cleaned up their prem ises. According to the mayor's an nouncement the ordinance regulating these things is to be rigidly enforced this year In every instance in which there is a disposition to evade the Is sue. Through the co-operation of the civic club there will be a woman com mitteeman in each district of the city. She will make note of any failures to observe the law In her sections and will at once notify Recorder Fitz Ger ald by telephone. The recorder will in turn take the matter up with the councllmen of the proper ward who will see that the recalcitrants are forc ed to clean up their premises, even if it becomes necessary to summon the police. At last night's meeting of the coun cil Chairman Stroble of the street committee took exception to the pub lished statement that the school yards are always kept In first class condi tion. He said the condition of the high school grounds near the corner of High 'and Johnson streets was a disgrace to the city. No parj the clty wil1 De over" looked in the cleaning up campaign. Every man, woman and child In the .city is expected to co-operate and judging by the amount of interest be ing displayed there will be few hold ing back. All rubbish which can be destroyed by fire is to be raked up and burn ed, while that which will not burn must be placed in boxes or sacks and placed at the edge of the sidewalk so that the teams furnished by the city can get them without too much trou ble. It is-oniy in the residence sec tions of the city that the rubbish will bp hauled away at the expense of the city. In the business districts the business men will be compelled to bear this expense alone and several of them started in today to ciean up their places of bu;'jneg8 One business man.

As It was Johnson had a single and a homer In three times at bat. ' His single might have been a homer had not Earl Gardner sprang into the air and retarded its progress by a blind stab. But the four-base smash was beyond reach. "Johnson got to one of Carroll's choicest curves and knocked the ball further than any had ever before trav eled in Georgia. Birdie Cree was playing deep for the big fellow. The ball went so far that Cree had not got to It by the time Johnson crossed the home plate, and he only jogged from second. The ball rolled to the fence, which Is fully 800 yards from the plate. , Johnson secured his single, the first hit of his big league experience, off Quinn. The homer greeted Dick Car roll on his appearance In the seventh." Portland Journal. WEALTHY OLD MISER LIVES AMID SQUALOR London. A miser who has lived for years on a few shillings a week, while he was in receipt of an income of J3000 a year and had, it is believed, $250,000 worth of property has Just forsaken his solitary life and sought better shelter In a Salford hospital. . His name Is John Clarence Hudson. For a considerable time he tenanted a 8 mall house In Railway-Terrace, Salford. There he lay ill, until at last he was driven to ask for assistance. He was found by the hospital offi cials on a bedstead covered with a dirty rag, with a stick by his side to keep the rats from his food. Two Shillings a Week. "I can do well on two shillings a week," he told the officials. His food supply was said to be as follows: One cent's worth of milk every four days. One loaf of bread a week. One-half pound of sugar every three months. One-half pound of meat a week. Yet. he admitted that he had $17, 500 worth of railway stock and some house property, and It Is stated that he received a legacy of $150,000 from his parents. He also declared that he had not been bathed for 20 years and it took two nurses two hours and a half to make up the arrears In this respect. . Long Dead Romance. But amid all the squalor of his home the officials found a touch of a long-dead romance. A table was laid in one room for two people to dine. It had always been kept like that, they were informed by the wo man who attended the miser. Hudson, who practiced years ago as a solicitor. Is said t6 have been "crossed In love." ' Another remarkable feature of the case was the discovery of a picture of Spanish beggar-girls, which, Hud son declares, is a real MurlUo. Roosevelt and.

Rules and regulations con trolling the navigation of the air have been formulated by the Aero Club of France and have been submitted to the French government as the basis for a national law. The code, elaborated after much study, aims to meet the rights and interests of all of the aeroplanlst and balloonist flying through space and of man and man's property on the earth below. Following are some of the club's suggestions: Aerial craft, whether aeroplane or dirgible balloon, must not circulate lower than 150 feet above private property. Flying above cities requires a per mit from the municipalities. Flying in a fog Is not allowed and the transportation of explosives, ex cept hunting ammunition Is prohib ited. The fixation of general aerial routes Is recommended as a way of avoid ing collisions and aeroplanes and dir gible balloons should keep off a cer tain distance from spherical balloons, so if accident happens to the dirgible machines the spherical may not be endangered. For the protection of the aeronaut Is recommended the proprietors of high buildings and other structures be required to Illuminate their prop erty at night at each level of 250 feet, while electric wires strung above l&u feet from the ground should be marked each 600 feet with a white fiag by day and a white light by night. Other suggestions relate to the estab lishment of aerial "ports of access" to large citieB. The project Is now being studied by Mr. Miller and the minister ot public works.

Sydney, N. S. W. Napoleon's cabin boy Is still living in this city, in his 106th year. He is William Johnstone, who was aboard the British warship Northumberland, which carried the fallen emperor to St. Helena In 1815. Napoleon took a fancy to the lad, and on arriving at the island chose him to be one of his personal attend ants. He treasures a devotional book containing an inscription by Napol eon. "When I was cabin boy on the Northumberland," said the old man, "I used to look after the emperor's cabin. We used to have many talks, and I think he got rather fond of me." Johnstone is an inmate of a home kept by the French Sisters of the Lit tle Company of Mary, who have no doubt that his story is genuine. A Night Alarm.
