Whipping out hi handcuffs he attempted to put them on Taylor, though the railroad detec- tives said it was needless. Accord ing to Gray Mr. Wilson's hands shook so presumably from the chill of the evening wind, that he could only get one "bracelet" on Taylor; whereupon the bold, bad man jerked the nippers from Mr. Wilson's hands and offered to lock the other one on his wrist himself. Eventually and with the help of an electric flash lamp which he used in good style Mr. Wilson managed to get the cuffs on Taylor, and then the part adjourned to make further in vestigations. After Doyle produced the "soup and other things he found under the rock in the brush, Mr. Wilson again showed signs of feeling the evening chill, and appeared to be very ill at ease. And when Doyle volunteered to pour the soup'' in the river, Mr. Wilson was quite willing that he should do so, and retired up the bank so that his actions would be untram meled. Later Taylor and Mr. Wilson and a few others came to the county seat. There Taylor was held, until Monday without any charge being placed against him. Three streetcar con ductors failed utterly to identify him as any of the various hold-up men.

Tuttle, of New Jersey, who is the commissioner of the United States government to the ex position. He recently returned from Panama. The Government of Panama has al ready erected several splendid build ings upon the exposition grounds which comprise seventy acres upon a high piece of land overlooking the bay. Two of the buildings are per manent structures of great architec- turalc harm. Plans for the entertainment of visitors are also being completed. During the month of February, when the balmy, dry season of Panama is at its best, there will be a Mardi Gras festival, and the old Spanish city of Panama will be a riot of fun and color for a week. In addition to this, there will be carnivals and other en tertainments, and the native sports win be seen at their best. The exhibits of the Republic of fanama, in addition to a comprehen sive collection showing her natural resources, will include a remarkable collection of tropical birds, animals and pants, incuding many strange pecments that are entirely new to science. I his collection is to form the basis of a national museum. One of the most remarkable exhib- .. Additional.. Locals...

Mr. Wilson also admitted that the first he knew about Taylor and th belief that he might be the much wanted hold-up artist was when the wife of one of the Portland railroad sleuths called him up and told him thut her husband had "got a ipin surrounded in the woods." Asked as to how it happened that the Enter prise and Oregonian gave him credit for having worked on the case for "many months," Mr. Wilson said he didn't know. "Lillis talked to the re porters," said Mr. Wilson, "I never suid a word." Lillis is one of the The First "Lady In Trade."

G. T. MeLain, city engineer of As Long Service in Pulpit and Field Ends For Local Minister The Rev. T. B. Ford, for many years pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church in Oregon City, has been appointed superintendent of the Salem district of the Methodist church this action being taken at the confer ence held this week in Roseburg. The Oregon City pulpit, so long held by Dr. Ford, will be filled by the Rev. J. K. Hawkins, formerly of Medford. Er. Ford has been prominent in Methodist church work in Oregon and the Northwest for many years. Be fore locating in Oregon City he was engaged in general missionary work in the Pacific states when this sec tion of the country was in its pioneer days. Always an ardent worker, and filled with remarkable zeal and force, he has built up a reputation for him self equalled by but few ministers in the country. Last year Dr. Ford was president of the Portland Methodists' association, and While occupying that position gave many valuable hints to his fellow pastors on the successful conduct of church affairs.

Clyde Milan of Washington holds the modern base stealing record, with eighty-eight thefts, acquired back In 1012. But this record Is almost sure to fade unless Ty Cobb drops a leg some time between now and October. Cobb collected steals In eighty-eight games. At this same Impetus he will lay in a supply of pilfered bases well over 100. The two fastest people In the Ameri can league are Bert Shotten and Fritz Maisel. Both are batting around the much admired .300, which shows how often they are getting on. Yet Cobb has stolen nearly as many bases as Shotten and Malsel together. Among others endowed with speed and the bnttbig eye, Cobb has stolen almost as many bases as Collins, Speak er, Jackson, Milan and Strunk all put together and only a few less than the combined steals of the three leading base runners in the National.

Remarkable Measuring. A marvelous instrument Is the com pound Interferometer. With this in strument it is possible to measure a distance as small as one-twenty mil lionth of an Inch. This Instrument will in nil probability be the most deli cate measuring instrument of its kind for many years to come. Some Idea can be formed by the use of compari sons. This one-twenty millionth of an inch is the apparent size of the head of an ordinary pin viewed at a dls tance of 227 miles, or the size of a dime viewed at a distance of 0,000 miles, or the size of a human face viewed at a distance equal to twice the circumference of our mother earth. -Exchange. Frank Isbell Suggest Seven Inning Double Header Games. Frank Isbell, boss of the Des Moines Boosters, has evolved what be consid ers Is a capital Idea for helping out the pitchers when the time comes for playing off those numerous postponed games. Isbell thinks It will be an ex cellent plan to play seven- Inning games in double headers, so us not to work the hurlers to death in July and August, when two games a day come thick and fast. The Southern association plays ouly seven innings In twin hills. When ever there Is a tie at the end of the seventh Inning of the first game in the Southern loop they call quits nnd start the next battle. Isbell says he will take the matter up with President O'Neill and the owners of the clubs. Jnck Holland thinks, though, that the way they will play off the numerous postponements will be to- extend the season. A Book of Jade. The most solid book iu the world, says the Flue Arts Journal of Chicago. Is in the Field museum. It has only teu pages, but they consist of exqtil- Bltely engraved slabs of the finest jade.

The text is In Chinese and Manchu, with elaborate ornamen tation on the first aud last pages. It is believed that this precious relic was turned into cash through the ne cessities of the deposed imperial fam ily, which has been In retirement with a limited Income since the establish ment of the Chinese republic. W. II. Burdick Found Not to llave Cultivated Leased Land When Mrs. Blanche Todd leased her farm near Barlow to W. H. Burdick, it was agreed that Burdick was to de velop the place, industriously sow and harvest the crops, and give Mrs. Todd one half of the proceeds. Before Cir cuit Judge J. U. Campbell Monday Mrs. Todd, through her attorney. Al lan R. Joy, said that Burdick had only raised ten dollars worth of crops from the place since he had taken posession, tnat ne nad let the tarm run down, and had permitted some of the stock to die, and had in no way repayed the owner for over a hundred dollars' worth of seed and material furnish ed. After hearing the evidence Judge Campbell ordered Burdick to vacate the land, and awarded Mrs. Todd $135.35 and five pigs as payment for losses she declared that she had sus tained. Several witnesses were ex amined during the hearing, and tho Burdick declared that the land was "no good,'' he was unable to explain satisfactorily to Judge Campbell why he wanted to remain upon it. Judge Campbell said he could not accept the statement' that the land was "no good," because he had personal know ledge of the value and fertility of other land in the immediatte section. 'TIS QUEER WORLD But Things Like These Never Happen Around the Courier Shop There are those lots of 'em that receive $10 worth of favors everv year through their county papers, and yet so begrudge the publisher the small pittance of a year's subscrip tion they borrow it week after week, and soliloquize on their adeptness at getting so much ahead of the editor.

All of which serves to remind us of a recent experience we had with a fellow who expressed himself rather warmly to the editor, regarding a paragraph that appeared in the Graphic that apparently did not set well with his digestive apparatus.

"Now," said the sage, "imiko mo n square twice the size of the ono before you." "That Is easy," replied the novice, and forthwith, producing the lino so that It was double the length of the first, made another square.

A WASTED LIFE. In every conceivable et of cir cumstances on earth a beautiful life can be lived. Epictetus was a crip pled slave, vet so noble was his soul that he had an emperor as his disciple. Circumstances do not pro duce a wasted life. The wasting must be done by the man himself. "No life is wasted," said Huxley, "unless it ends in sloth, dishonesty or cowardice." Court I rains.
