i This is a word in "The Story , of the Cadillac."
Since the inception of the industry the Cadillac has
become increasingly the criterion of excellence in
practical construction. Each year the public looks
to the Cadillac for that which represents the real
progress in the development of the motor car; not
for. fads, not for features whose value ends in .their,
utility as "talking points;" not feature which are
here today and gone tomorrow; but features which
are practical and features which mark real and sub
stantial advancement. k .

NEWS FOR THE RURAL
Ob
AFTER diligent search and at the sacrifice of considerable
expense money The Observer has establish paid corre--spondents
in a majority. f all the. big towns, and a vast
number of postoffiee and rural districts throughout Union
and "Wallowa counties. Within the course of a month this chain
of paid correspondents will be complete and long and The Ob
server can fien boast of the biggest news-gathering force of any :
out-of-Portland paper in the state. Scarcely a hamlet in the
two counties but what will have its day-to-day news recorded
weekly in The Observer. With' a network of telephone wires,
and rural route mail service, the combination works "going and
coming" The Observer gets the news from the rural districts
by both letter and telephone, and The Observer, in turn, prompt
ly reaches the readers with not only the country correspondence
in full, but its varied other news "to boot"
gossip from the market world wheat, hogs, vegetables, cattle,
in fact, every commodity of trade is reviewed for the instruction
and benefit of the reader who may have no other way of learn
ing these important facts.
No matter how remote the reader is from well-beaten thor
oughfares of commerce or from the larger cities, The Observer,
through its expensive telegraph news system keeps that reader
in close touch with the world's affairs. No corner so distant but
what The Observer telegraph news system reaches there and
quickly, surd)- and concisely puts it before the Observer readers

A Mutiny
By DONALD CHAMBERUN
On my last voyage with Captain
Waterman we bnd bud luck with the
crew. Two men were lost overboard in
a storm, three died of sickness, end five
deserted at Madeira. We went through
the strait of Gibraltar with ejgbt men
und when we reached Naples were re
duced to six, for we bad scarcely cast
anchor when two more men left us for
parts unknown.
We lay In Naples a week, taking on
a cargo of olive oil, figs and Italian
fruits. Several days before sailing on
the return' voyage the captain was re
quested to take some money to New
York. It wasn't much, but quite enough
to excite the cupidity of a common
sailor. Waterman was so proud of. be
ing Intrusted with the amount about
$12,000 that be had to tell one of the
men about It The worst of it was that
we were obliged to make up the crew
at Nnples in order to take the ship back
to New York, and any one who has
ever been in Naples will understand
accept. Some of them were a weak'
ened, degraded lot while the rest look
ed as if tbey had seen service as brig
ands. The fact Is that before we got
through with them 1 made up my mind
that they had spent the greater part of
their lives behind bars.
When we sailed away from Naples
I confess 1 bad misgivings about evel
getting across the Atlantic with such
a crew. The second mate, Ilunford.
felt a good deal as I did about Jt but
the captain didn't seem to feel the
least nueasy. Before making due
westward we went down to Messina
to take on oranges. The evening of our
arrival I noticed by the looks of the
men and certain hurried consultations
that took place among small groups of
them that something was brewing.
1 Instead of going to my berth when 1
' enme off watch and feeling uneasy,
wben no one saw me I slipped Into
one of the ship's boots. I hadn't been
there very long before there was a
commotion beneutb me. 1 beard shots
down botwn decks, and several of
the crew poured up th. companion
way, and the whole lot of them
talked hurriedly directly beneath tbe
boat I was In. I know by wast wss
said that tbey bad killed tbe captain
and the second mate and had been
disappointed lu not finding me In my
berth. Wbat bad become of me was
heir chief topic of conversation, aud
It seemed to trouble them very mucb.
Some one said that he had seen a man
leap overboard, and this seemed to
satisfy them that I bad thus escaped.
but they didn't propose to take any
chances, and their leader, dividing the
ship into sections, detailed two men
to search each section. Certain or
being captured if I remained where I
was, wbcu no one was near me I let
myself down into tke water and
swimming to the rudder, climbed up on
It .' Not being a flmt class swimmer, I
didn't dare to try to get to the shore,
which was fully a mile distant
It wasn't long before I beard the
anchor being drawn np, and I felt sure
thnt the men were going to put out
somewhere and I would stand a good
chance of being drowned , perched
where 1 wns. However, I couldn't
help myself nnd must take my chances
f meeting death thnt way rather than
rhinir myself up to be murdered.
rhev stilled northeastward and in a
w hour came near land, which was
a part of. the tie of the boot of Italy,
us It upiwirx on the map. They coast
ed nlonit till they cume to a very thin
ly settled reslon from which moun
tains rose from n beach. There they
ran the ship ashore. Taking two of
the bouts, they landed, and, turning
the boats adrift they began to walk
northward on the beach. . '
was now relieved of my fear and
turned my whole energies toward fol
lowing them up and turning them over
to the authorities for punlshmeut
Swimming forward to the bowsprit
chains. I climbed np on deck, lowered
a boat and when tne men were pass
ing around a spur In the mountain
pulled awny from the ship. When I .
on me In sight of them again I was to ;
them simply a man in a boat for tbey j
were too fur away to see who I was, .
and, in order to lull any suspicions ,
they might have. I pretended to bo
Ashing. , I
After proceeding northward for a
couple of hours, coming to a gap, they
turued eastward. I pulled ashore and.
leaving my boat took the only road
they could have followed. They stop
ped at a small town, and I baited out
side. When they left the place I en- j
tered It and. finding telegraph facilities, ,
I sent a message to the nearest'polnt
where I would be likely to And a po
lice force sufficient to hnndle them and
sent an account of tbe situation, with
the direction the men were -moving.
I was requested to keep track of them
If possible aud pout the police from
time to time of any change in their
route. . .
About 5 o'clock In the afternoon 1
(net the police detachment and guided
them to a point where I knew the men
were Journeying. We let them pro
ceed to a sort of pocket, where we
railed on them to surrender. They
were only pnrtly nnnert. nnd the police
besides outnumbering them, all bud
rifles. This brought them to terms,
and we raptured them. Including the
$12,000 they hud with them.
They were tnkeu to Naples, where
thqy were tried. Some of them had
been compelled to join the mutiny, and
they were let off. The ringlenders
were given solitary confinement for
life, while the rest got lltfht sentences.
