Shambrook today caused the detention of one H. J. Richards, who is being held here on suspicion that he is wanted in Wyoming on a kidnapping cnarge. Traveling with the man now under arrest was a i:!-year-old lad whom Richards says is his step-son. IloCh are being held awaiting telegraphic information rrom the Wyoming au thorities. According to Richards' story, he appears to have become entangled in the mairiiuonial affairs of another man residing at Hartford, Wash. Seated on a box in t he corner of the jail corridor, his eyes glued to the floor, Richards in a sort of reminis cent mood stated that he was a painier hy occupation, and arriving at Hartford boarded with the Good man family. The husband was in ill health and in dire circumstances al so Richards claims he offered financial assistance, which was ac cepted, and further agreed to look after the boy. Time wore on, and Mrs. Goodman, her son and himself came to Portland, the husband going to Arizona I'or his health. Rumors reached them that a certain jilted lover or an admirer of the woman, crazed with jealousy, had threatened to shoot Richards on sight. Rich ards says Mrs. Goodman then re turned to Hartford and he and the boy started out hiking it to Califor nit, where (hey wero to be later joined by the woman. Just what action is to be taken by the ciiy officials in ihe matter de pends entirely on the information expected momentarily from the Wy oming authorities. In the meantime Richards will be held in enstotdy here.

IJrown for this district : To all thu pupils in the Oregon pub lic schools: This week your parents have been asked to give liberally lo save the lives of starving children and wom en in Armenia and Syria. I f they understood that little children and lumbers arc actually starving, they would give generously. Fast year, many school children sent us nickels, dimes and thrift stamps, and because the need jp so much greater this year than last, I believe that every one of you will want to help. I know, if there were one hungry child in your school, any one of win would be glad to share! your food with him. These children I are noi hungry - they are starving, and there are more than twice as many of them as there are In all the j grade and high schools (11 the slat; I yf Oregon. I repeat, these children ! are not only hungry -they are starv- intr; many so hungry that they ran- i no; eai. others so hungry they have tone nlind. others cannot speak. They never lauL'h nor play. Fvery one a homeb-ss orphan, and there are Inn, t of them. While I write this letter to you, three ships loaded with fond and clothing are hurrying across tire ocean, but we must load many ships or these children musi die. Tell your parents, toirght, that these starving children are. at our floors. Then bring the little envelope back to vour teacher tomorrow with just a laree an offering as possible. Twenty children giving the value of a thrift stamp each would rare for one child for a month. 1 i:i hits pin-;, pipf HITS Till; t M I PA. VI s. Scott Pritt and his lady companion.

ISAVE TAXPAYERS $3,600 ON CRUISING Of TIMBER 155,555ARES ESTIMATE According to data obtained from County Assessor G uy Cordon this morning, about 15 5,5;") 5 acres of tim ber can be estimated on by virtue of the low bid submitted by Messrs. McMullen and Murphy, well known timber cruisers, who were awarded the. cruising of the standing limber of the county at nine cents per acre, Il also appears that the taxpayers are saved about $:.tUM). This sum approximates the difference between the first bid at 12 cents per acre b Ragley and Company and the present estimate. At 12 cents lint 25,nno acres could 4iaye been cruised for the appropriation of fla.nnii set aside by the court for the carrying out of this work. Mr. McMullen and Mr. Murphy are now making preparations to com mence the task of cruising at once.

Prager, of the Orager Fruit Company, of Salem, arrived here Sunday for Ihe purpose of contract ing for a portion of this year's prune crop. According to information re ceived today, Mr. Drager is offering one cent per pound more for Italians and considerable more for Petltes than was the prevailing price at this lime last year. "Never saw such a pro-pect for prunes," commented Mr. Dialer, and this sentiment seems to prevail also among the growers of ihe county. Reports coming from ill sections bespeak of an exception al prune crop, providing early frosts do no interfere. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars will be realized by the growers from the sale of Ihe fruit that graces the tables or homes and boarding houses. An enterpris ing Riddle rancher has leased a bear ing prune tract in (hut vicinity. Last year he paid the Ion sen $SOO0 as renial and cleared approximately $1:1,000 on the deal, so it is report ed. Another grower of the Fmpitin community realized $ 1 S.000 from the sale of his prune crop. These are only instances, of "letting the prune orchard do it." Hundreds of oihers are doing equally as well, and I !i 1 !l promises to be a banner year for prune growers.

MYSTERY IS GROWING DEEPER Alleged Woman In the Case Hhm SIih' lte'ii Sixmi lle-if W'ifi W ill t.o to Sister In North Itend for the PivtMit. The si range disappearance of I.. L. Sclnilfer, of Long Reach, Cul who left his wife, Mrs. E. M. Schaf ter, at (heir homo on Kuue street under the pretense t hut he was go ing to the country to accept em ployment, mill remains a mystery, ua no clue io tho proHcnt whereuboutg of the man has been unearthed by (ho local auihorltfea, who have been making every effort to locate him. Mrs. Scbalfer atatOH that her hus band tiad little money In h la posses sion at the time ho took his sudden departure, but that ho did have on his person her former husband's val uable silver watch. The fact that the "painted woman' who It was at first thought might have figured in in elopement with tho missing man, las been seen In the city since Mr. -Vhaffer'H disappearance, effectually lispiMes of this theory, and the offl dais arc now working on the suppo sition I hat Mr. Sehaffer Is new lu he vicinity of Albany working on a audi, as It was learned thut both ie and Mrs. Sehaffer had planned on .islliug (hat city Koon, A Hcarch of a trunk left behind y ihe man ditu hiHcd all his personal lelongingH Intact, even to hlB natur illzaHou papers. As Mr. Sehaffer Is i naturalized American citizen, of leruian birth, it would nppear to the 'as ua 1 observer that he would by all nouns have taken these papers with iim had he premeditated his depar ii re. Foul play is scouted, as th lightest Hue that would lead thfl ifficers to believe a tragedy may iave befallen the man has not been fin ml and It therefore appears that Ir Sehaffer quietly moved out for bdils anew. Mrs. Sehaffer, who was left destl ute in this city, today received a ehgram from n sister residing at orib lletid, requesting her lo coma In re. This she has decided to do, iwaiiing the unraveling of the mys erv.
