The Colonial Club will Rive their annual ball at the Armory this even ing. Elaborate preparations are be ing made for the event, and those fortunate enough to attend nre promised a good time. Clyde Willis and wife returned to their home at Dlllard this morning after a couple of days sent In Rose burg. Mr. Willis was formerly em ployed lu the Hash ford flouring mills and Is well known lu this city. Uninterrupted by the police, a well known Roseburg man last nlht at tracted considerable attention as he reeled about the streets in a drunken stupor. The fellow first came to notice when he dashed out of the "Smoke House," on North Jackson street, and proceeded in a southerly direction. I'tterly unable to walk on the sidewalk, he staggered here and there along the roadway, and finally succeeded In reaching a point near the corner of Oak and Jackson atreets where he was quickly surrounded by dozen or more young Americans bent on enjoying the sport. After divulging a number of oaths without egard for passing pedestrians the fellow then proceeded to make him self obnoxious by parading the streets, seemingly without fear of arrest. The man who has to split oak wood enough for the kitchen Htuve before he goes to his work each day, will appreciate tho fact that there Is a machine In town now which reduces wood-split ting to a pleasure. Mr. Swank, manager of the Roseburg Feed & Kuel Co., whose warehouses are located on the rail road spur at Winchester street, has just Installed a machine that has at tracted a good deal of attention in the neighborhood. Tho device is a labor saver In all that the term Im plies, easily splitting tho toughest oak knot, doing the work with one stroke. Tho principle of the contri vance Is a heavy wrought steel wedge operated by a piston and earn wheel, giving the wedge an eight inch stroke. The block to be split Is stood on a revolving table, bo that when the wedge strikes lirto the upper end of the stick something has got to give away, therefore the wedge In driven half way through the length of an ordinary stove strlck.

The animal was given to Sheriff Qulne by the state officials at the time the California Kxpress was held up in Cow Creek canyon few months ago. subject to return In the event It was needed in tracking criminals in other sections of the state. I'pon abandoning the search for the bandits, Sherifr Qufne brought the hound to Roseburg and chained It in his barn where It re mained for a couple of days when it succeeded in making Its escape. Nothing was seen or heard of the hound until about two weeks ago, when James Hlbleliratid Informed the sheriff that he had purchased an ani mal similar in apiiearance to the one given Mr (Juine. On the follow ing day, and before the shertrf had investigated, the hound left the Hildebrand home and proceeded a short distance south or the m where It was picked up by Mr. Krey. Sheriff Qulne yesterday learned of the whereabouts of the animal, and Immediately proceeded to the l'rey home where he demanded its return.
