FLANDERS, Feb. 15 (By Mall to New York.) Nleuport, the pretty little city to the west of Ostend on the Belgian coast, has gone to join the long list of cities that were but are no more, uniy tne name re mains. Like Pervyse, Louvaln, Sermalze and so many smiling towns of Bel- glum and France, nothing Is left of Growing out of the dispute between the Newport Land & Construction Co. of Hermtoton, which has the con tract to build the Columbia highway In Hood River county, and J.

English sparrows, which flock In the trees of Public Square Park and make It decidedly unpleasant for people who get on and off trolly cars, are the cause, of worry to the city commls sioners, who hsve undertaken vari ous means of ridding the central city of the birds. Many plans have been tried out In trying to drive sparrows to other quarters. Stuffed owls are now to be placed in the trees because the com mltisloners think this deadly enemy of the English sparrow may drive the birds to other haunts. If this method falls the commissioners will probably give up the task. RECORD OF DEEDS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ( battle. Mortgage. T. E. Brassfield to 11. J. StillinKS, 150. One bull, 1 horse. E. E.

Cats, It is said, to places instead attach themselves of to persons. Greeks were employed at half price. The contractor said If the work was satisfactory there should be no par ticular nationality favored. Regard ing this Mr. Elliott said to one of the men: 'I'll make it hard sledding for the company unless Italians are employed." The lawyer said Mr. Elliott had In terfered between the contractor and sub-contractor regarding the removal of earth and had Informed the men the company 'was making a profit of or that member of the .household. She let herself be stroked and she purred back In thankfulness but way down deep in her heart she liked the house more than she did the people Inhabiting it. So when the Germans advanced and started to bombard the city, the citizens fled, group by group, until all had gone but three old maid sisters who were evacuated only this week by force. They were found In a cellar with their three cats, the sisters as lean as the cats, the cats as thin as matches. "We thought the old maid sisters were spies," a British officer told the correspondent "For after all, it did seem queer to us they should remain behind In Nleuport after ev ery other single soul had made tracks for France. We placed them under arrest and started to march them oft to prison when the cats came out or hiding and mewed and rubbed against the sisters and showed that they knew and liked them. This was a fact in the sisters' favor so we toon them to the hospital, fed them and found out who they were. They were all right and we sent them to the rear. They Insisted on taking the cats along and we sent back to get them, carrying a large covered bas ket for the purpose. After a time the women succeeded In catching the critters and got them In the basket Then, all of a sudden, the lid flew up like you've seen Jack-ln-the Box es do, and out bounded the cats and off through the ruins of the town.

It also was alleged that Mr. Elliott frequently had men discharged, em ninvd bv the contractor. He would sav: "This man is Incompetent, he must h discharged. Although he declared the Greeks to h incompetent as masons, his in spector had approved their work, de- rlnred Mr Johnson.
