Released at Vancouver, C. W. Hart'
grove, Is Returned Here on
Similar Charge
Officer F. A. Miles of this city re
turned to this city Wednesday from
Vancouver Washington, bringing with
him C. W. Hartgrove, who is wanted
here for beating a board bill. Hart-
grove was employed in the Hawley
paper mills here last winter, and
boarded at the Brunswick. One night
he asked Mr. Sllcox, the proprietor,
to "go good for him" at a local store
for a pair of shoes. Mr.. Sllcox did as
requested, and a few days later, his
boarder suddenly departed, forgetting
to pay a portion of his board. It
also developed that he was absent-
minded In regard to the shoes, and
the bill was presented to the genial
Mr. Silcox.
Leaving this city, Hartgrove went
to LaCamas, Washington, where he
worked the same trick, but he was
picked up by the authorities and giv
en thirty days In Jail. Learning of his
presence in Vancouver, Officer Miles
went over at the expiration of his
sentence, and returned him here for
trial.

INJURES REAM
WILLAMETTE LAD SERIOUSLY IN
JURED SATURDAY AF
TERNOON. Acldental Touching of Lever In Wil
lamette Mill Almost Has
Fatal Ending.
John Ream, an employee of the
Willamette Pulp & Paper Company,
received injuries Saturday afternoon
that came near costing him his life.
Ream, who is 19 years of age, was
working on the wood splitter In the
wood mill, about half a mile up the
river from the company's main plant.
Ream was helping to haul a log over
to the splitter, when the forehead of
one of the workmen accidently hit
the lever and the heavy, steel blade,
weighing about five hundred pounds,
struck Ream in the back between the
shoulders, inflicting a deep gash. He
was brought to this city immediately
for surgical attendance and has good
chances for recovery, though it is a
wonder he was not killed outright. It
was feared that his spine was injured.
Two ribs were broken and one lung
Is probably damaged. The blade of
the splitter knife is two feet long
and is wedge Bhaped, ranging in
shaft.

8TOPPED BY AUDUBON
80CIETY.
Oregon and California Will Work
In
Unison In the Work of Pre
serving our Feathered
Friends.
The results accomplished by the
Oregon Audubon Society during the
past month in protecting the wild
birds of this state is set forth in a
report that has just been made by the
advisory committee of this organiza
tion. In addition to (stopping the sale of
aigrettes in this state and the use of
plumage of native birds, the same
steps are soon to be taken in Califor
nia against the use of the plumage of
white herons, grebes, terns and other
native birds. The law protecting
these birds In California was passed
at the last Legislature and will go
into effect June 17. The fact that
Oregon and California will work to
gether In this regard will give wild
birds much better protection than
they have ever had before.
The Important work of guarding
the great colonies of birds that breed
on Lower Klamath and Malheur Lakes
has been undertaken by this society.
The two extensive areas embracing
these lakes are now set aside as
Government reservations and no hunt,
ing or trapping is allowed within the
reserves. The fact that great numbers
of ducks and geese and other wild
fowl nest on these reserves is re
garded as very important from the
sportsman's standpoint, because these
areas will serve as Immense wild
fowl nurseries to supply Oregon and
California with game.

RATHER ANCIENT EXHIBIT
Mummied Dinosaur hat been dead
tome three milloln years, but he
will be at the Seattle Exposition
Some enthusiastic antiquarian at
the national capital has gone back
three million years to fish up an ex
hibit for the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc Ex
position. A letter from the government ex
position agent describes it as a mum
mied dinosaur, or trachadon, but it
U even worse than that, It will be
an acceptable addition to the other
old timers who will gather by the
lake side when the gates are open
on June 1st.
Not much of Colonel Trachodon's
antecedents 1b known, nothing In fact,
except that he died suddenly In Wy
oming on an extremely hot day. Judg
ing from the position In which the
remains were found by Charles H.
Sternberg, it died with its feet In
the air and then lay out in the heat
for two or three thousand years,
which, fortunately for posterity, made
It a mummy instead of a dislocated
skeleton, for the ekln of the beast is
Intact, albeit, very much wrinkled as
becomes ripe old age.
The dinosaur is. now being prepared
in the -American Museum of Natural
History. It is being renovated, or
revamped or whatever it is that is
done to ancient dinosaurs to make
them fit for other company. It will
then be brought to Seattle aa a part
of the government's exhibit.

Various Committees Appointed by President
of Improvement Association
HAWAII TO BE REPRESENTED.
Delegation from Island Will Attend
Trans-Mississippi Congress.-
Hawaii will attend the Denver ses
sion of the Trans-Mlsslsslppi Com
mercial Congress, and delegates be
ing appointed by Governor Frear, the
chamber of commerce of Honolulu and
the Hawaiian Promotion committee.
At the Oklahoma session of the Con
gress Hawaii appealed to the western
commercial sentiment in behalf of
Pearl Harbor, and as a result of the
agitation, to which the Congress con
tributed largely, the government rec
ognized the justice of the Hawaiian
claims. Last year at the San Fran
cisco session Hawaii had a large del
egation, which was appointed more in
appreciation of the work of the Com
mercial Congress In her behalf. This
year the delegates will ask the com
mercial bodies of the Trans-Mississippi
section to make some vigorous repre
sentations in behalf of Immigration,
which is now the very great question
agitating the Hawaiian mind. Hawaii
wants the right kind of immigrants,
She wants the land laws applied to
her public domain, and, most of all,
she wants the Islands completely
Americanized as a bulwark against
Oriental Invasion of any kind.
Shut Out Oswego.
The Oswego team met its first shut
out this season Sunday afternoon on
home grounds in a game played with
the People's Clothing Company, of
Portland. The feature of the game
was 'the errorless ball played by the
Clothiers, and the work of Eston, their
pitcher, who allowed but three hits
during the entire session. At no time
during the contest did an Oswego
player pass the keystone sack. The
batteries were: Peoui) Clothing Co.,
Eston and Mullen; Oswego, Blankin
and Blankin. Sunday afternoon, Os
wego fans will witness a classy exhi
bition of the national game when the
fast Canby team crosses bats with
the home team. Both 'have splendid
records so far, and the outcome of
the game is far from settled.
Tualatin Defeated.
In a game of baseball Sunday af
ternoon between the Portland Gun
Company and Tualatin, the former
aggregation succeeded in blanking
their opponents, the score being 6
to 0. Sexton,, who attended to the
twirling for the Gunners, was in fine
form, and allowed but three scattered
