About the time young Comer made
his charges against the two Cooks,
Sheriff Taylor received a description
of a horse which, had been stoles at
Prescott, Wash., a week ago yester
day. When the Cooks were bound
over to await the action of the grand
Jury, the boy was also bound over in

be held as a witness.
Sheriff Taylor Is a pretty good
Judge of faces and when he saw the

guilt,, However, when Sheriff Toner

JAILBEEAKER EATS SSAKE
Man Wanted at Canyon City Is Held
at The Dalles. .
(The Dallea Chronlcl-s.)
Harry McDonald who was captured
last week by local police officers on
advice from Canyoa City, where he is
wanted for horse stealing and Jail
breaking will be sent back to that city
as soon as the officials arrive for him.
He has been positively- Identified as
the man wanted.
McDonald, In telling his story as
to how he became mlxd up In a horse
stealing scrape, tells a picturesque
yarn. He says that he Is a prospector
and while out In the mountains be
fell In with a man named Cretghton,
who also claimed to be a prospector.
McDonald states that Cretghton told
him there was no need of their walk
ing as he had an uncle and brother-in-law
living on ranches near the place
where they met, saying that be could
get all the horses they wanted from
them. . The men visited the ranches
ana at oue tIv Ciliitci t;?t
horses, leaving a note Informing his
alleged uncle of the (act, and at. the
"brother-in-law's" place procured two
saddles, again leaving a . note. Ac
cording to McDonald they went on
their way, he supposing that all the
transaction, was straight until about
half a day later when they were over
taken by the officers and placed under
arrest. Two weeks afterward the men
broke Jail. The local officers were
notified today that Cretghton had been
captured at Redding, Cal. . ; .
"I was out of Jail Just eight days
when you fellows got me," said the
prisoner today. "After breaking away
the first thing I got to eat was a rat
tlesnake, and next came a'pocuplne.
They did not make the; finest meals In
the world, but kept me going for the
first two days, and I was glad to get
themi .' ' ' . ' "

have been good bye to all Jails for
me; I'd have soon been In Australia
and then I would have been Bafe." : .

Washington, Aug. 19. Expert wit
nesses do not stand very high with
Representative Alexander, democrat,
from Missouri, who voiced his opin
ion recently when reviewing the tes
timony of physicians, some of whom
maintained there was no cure for
cancer, while others asserted there
might be. . ,
"Why talk about expert witnesses,"
said Representative Alexander, "you
can prove anything by them. I was
trying a personal Injury case out In
Missouri and I had eight physicians
testify that brown spots on a man's
back were liver spots, and the other
side had eight doctors awear that
those same spots were freckles.".,
Washington, Aug. 16. Once more
the navy department Is calling atten
tion to the record breaking perform
ance of th battleship Delaware, the
finest vessel In the United States navy.
In the opinion of nayal officers, she
has demonstrated anew remarkable
efficiency, endurance and Bea-keeplng
qualities, superlorJo anything ever
accomplished In any navy of the
world. ' ' ., ' . y
The Delaware on Its visit to the
coronation naval review, left New
York on June 4 with 2,479 tonj of
coal, and 282 tons of fuel ofl. She ar
rived' at Tor Bay, England, June 16,
(and at Spithead, the scene of the re
view, June 19. She left Spithead on
June 23, and arrived at Boston .Ally 9.
While abroad, she took on no fuel,
engineering supplies, or stores of any
kind with the exception of fresh wa
ter, and on reaching Boston she had
In her bunkers 607 tons of coal and
18 tons of fuel oil. Her average speed
. average for the whole trip was 11.85
1 knots. (-
I That Is, after crossing the Atlantic
, twice, In a period of one month and
five days, the Delaware still had suf
j flclent fuel to steam 1500 miles.
I . Just previous to her departure from
Boston, the Delaware returned from
.V cruise of 17,500 miles, the, last leg
of which was 4,800 miles. On her ar
' rival In port, with only a few hours
notice, she was sent out on a full-pow
er speed and endurance test, without
opportunity to examine her machinery.
On this test she averaged higher than
her contract speed of , 21 knots. r
Navy officers also believe the per
formance of ? the Delaware ; also
demonstrates the superiority of the re
ciprocating engine over the turbine,
for "general service on battleships. It
Is probable that for the next few years
at least, no turbines will be installed
in the new warships to be built.
Washington,' Aug. 17. The Postof
flee Department has Just discovered
what It claims to be one of the neatest
schemes for obtaining other people's
hard earned cash, formulated In years.
The department has been watching
the development of the plan for some
time and the recent numerous com
plaints from alleged victims of the
originator of the scheme has had the
effect of forcing the issuance of a
fraud order against the companies con
cerned and the Indictment of the pro
prietor of .the ,wq offending organi
zations. '". ' s'r :'''
According to $e. statements of he
Postofflce detectives la charge of the
investigation, the Ingenious orlglpa-,
tor or tne scheme had the tollowlng
advertisement Inserted 'n daily papers
throughout the country: ,
"Young men wanted to copy letters
at home; $15 weekly made by easy,
congenial work. Send 10 cents as
evidence of good faith to. ..... . -
Those who were desirous of in
creasing their weekly stipend by the
addition 6t $15 or more for the sum
specified varied In the different ad-'
vertlsements sent the amounts re-'
quired. In return they received a'
letter saying that the company was
anxious to get letters, jo be used as
testimonials, written on a special type
writer which he was placing on the
market On the receipt of $3, the
proprietor of the film flam game would
send a little "novelty" typewriter
which the Postofflce detectives claim
can be bought at retail for 98 cents,
and upon which It is Impossible to
write 100 letters, much less the 1 000
foe which the "company" was wllltlng
to pay 20.
The originator of the plan Is al
leged to have admitted that he bought
the machines for less than a dollar
and that he sold over a hundred of
them In three months through this
advertisement.
Washington, Aug. 17. Representa
tive Reilly, of Mereden, Conn., has
Introduced in the house a bill making
eight , hours the maximum limit of
time which any watchman in a gov
ernment building shall work continu
ously. -..-..
! At present the watchmen, of whom
there are hundreds In Washington
alone, go to work early In the even
ing and stay on duty until the offices
are opened the next morning. From
12 to 14 hours is the average working
time of many. Rep. Reilly declares. '
. Rep. Reilly holds that the govern
ment has applied the eight hour work-
tav m-WlnlA to all i work done
for the" government, ""and' that It is In -
consistent with this policy to require
night watchmen In government build
ings to work-more than thlB time.
His bill will not receive considera
tion at this session.
Washington, Aug. , 17. When It
comes to painting the lily or carry
ing coals to Newcastle there'are very
few concerns which have anything on
the Reclamation Service, . Improving
nature is one of the easiest things
they do and the creation of scenic
beauties, "natural, not artificial," as
the guides so proudly say Is a week
ly occurrence in the annals of this
branch of the Department of the In
terior. :' ;
.The addition of a beautiful lake In
Wyoming's other scenic attractions Is
the latest stunt completed by the en
glneers of the service. By closing
the entrance to a narrow canon on
the ShoBhone river . with the highest
dam In the world, a broad mountain
meadow baa been transformed Into
a lake which covers an area of over
10 square. miles and is more than 100
feet deep. As the lake is located In
the. region of the Yellowstone Park,
the same wonderful colorings whlcbf
make the park one of the show-posts
of the country are to be found In the
vicinity of the lake.
In addition to being a thing of
beauty the lake serves an economic
and Is guaranteeing bountiful cropB
to the hundreds of farmers who live
further down' the Shoshone river.
From a sheep , pasture of .but little
value this land has become a valuable
agricultural region.
Washington, Aug. 17. Experiments
are now under way along the Panama
Canal with a "gun" with which ce
ment Is being blown upon rock sur
faces. The rock sides of Celebra
cut are crumbling, it is found, and to
save them from further deterioration
a coating of cement is being applied.
This coating, wbl.i Ib about an inch
thick, la expected to prevent further
crumbling. The cement Is blown
with such force by the cement gun
that it is believed that It will become
practically as hard as rock Itself.
The "gun" mounted on" a- flat car,
has a capacity of coating 200 square
yards' of surface in one- day. Five
men operate the apparatus.
It Is operated by compressed air.
Sand and cement are blown from a
nozzle with great force. At the noz
zle, water Is mixed with the sand and
cement, so that by the time the In
gredients reach the rock against
which they are directed, they form a
well-mixed concrete mixture.

FADS AND FASHIONS.
Ne York, Aug. 19. (Special) It
Is rather uncertain whether changes
In fashion the near future may bring
but. there Is accumulative evidence
that some changes, though only slight
and gradual, may be expected. Radi
cal and revolutionary changes of
fashion are no longer feasible. Wo
men are led up to these changes gen
tly and by degrees, bo that they may
not shy wheji confronted by them. The
extensive use of laces and flounce
trimmings is to a great extent re
sponsible for the slight deviation from
the straight line silhouette, clearlv
A.
.
noticeable la the ... latest models im- own with women wko fiad thera he
ported from Paris. . comin?. but the limp, siik mesh veil
borne or trie French makers of fash-
ion seem to be determined to in'.ro
dues perceptibly wider skirts. Models
indicatlug an increasing sweep, usu
ally limp and of bell-like lines, have
already appeared; but on the whole
the late summer models go little fur
ther than the development of scant
flouncts, llttl frills and flat, triple or
double skirt arrangements.
The very sheer summer stuffs are
undeniably prettier and more piquant
with some suggestion of frailness,
particularly around the feet, and a
skirt of fine linon, weighted down Into
group of four little overlapping lace
frills oa the bottom of a softly frilled
straight, narrow lines, is a prettier fin
ish than the flat foot band of silk
satin or heavy lace to which, never
theless, women are so accustomed
that even the limp little frills have a
certain effect of novelty.
In many of the new .moduls the waist
line Is a trifle high and it seems like
ly that many, of the fall models will
retain this very slight waist elevation
though the general opinion among the
knoing is that the normal waist line
will assert itself with emphasis this
fall and that more of the curves of
the feminine torso will be seen, than
have been visible In the toilettes of
the past year,
Slashed skirts are said to be the
greatest and most chic novelty of
fashion In Paris. Skirts are cut away
J to (show the ankle',and Instep,
! j t:i v
or. if
n Ar
rangement of buttons and buttonholes
or a pleat that suggests the presence
of a slash for the moment not definite
ly evident. With these slashed skirts
are worn soft silk or pleated chiffon
petticoats of contrasting color, and a
few daring women have appeared
without petticoats, the silk-stocking
ed ankle being revealed as the skirt
Is moved In walking. It Is not ex
pected, however, that American wo
men will take kindly to these slashed
skirts.
There Is more and more tendency
to get away from the severe, mannish
effects In women's tailored garb, and
this season many snappy touches In
the way of big, graceful collars, dash
ing cuffs, fancy buttons and swinging
paels or sashes give a sprightly and
feminine, suggestion to the Indispens
able coat and skirt suit. . , :-f
Navy blue and scarlet are appearing
prominently In the autumn models,
They are the old army colors, dieep
navy blue and bright red, and are
striking as well as youthful. Blue
serge or rought tweed traveling and
motor coats have hood collars of scar
let broadcloth, and blue serve suits
show . dashes of the scarlet In the
trimming. With these seml-mllitary
suits, many of which have smart
touches of black braid, are worn the
broad sombrero hats heralding the
approach of autumn. White Is ex
tremely good in a hat of this kind,
bent Into a becoming shape and trim
med simply with a soft scarf, a band
or a military ornament.
A wide band of black velvet on the
underdress and a belt to correspond
Introduce a pleasing note of contrast
on an embroidered white voile frock
fashioned in the popular straight tu
nic style. On a lingerie dress for a
young- girl black satin forms a small
sailor collar, and Is used also for belt
and skirt border. A big black silk
bow and pipings of black lend a touch
or distinction to a sailor suit of cream
serge for a girl of 16. The model is
fashioned in one piece, opening In the
front, a simulated opening in the back
being fastened with white silk lacing.
Low neckwear will by no means be
abandoned with the coming of autumn
though there is always a tendency to
ward high and formal neckwear as
cooler weather approaches. For little
rail street frocks of serve and mohair
pretty collars and cuffs of linen and
lace are ready and. of course, a hand
some set of this" sort will add ereatlv
to the dressiness of even the simplest
irocK. -me tJordav style of cniir i
used a great deal and Is seen on manv 1
o fthe handsomest models.
Chenille dotted veils are again fash
lonable. and cobweb effects hold their
