WElitD TALE COMES University of Oregon Investigating Dog with Light in Mouth The strange story of a dog that manifested the same phenomenon as Conan Doyle's "Hound of the Basker villes," in the Sherlock Holme's mys tery series, has just come to the Uni versity from a woman resident of Derby, Jackson county, Oregon. With the story came the head of a dog, which the University was asked to examine for traces of rabies. The letter follows in part: "We went oot to visit one of our neighbors in the evening, and on re turning saw a bright light near the house that looked as large as. a light ed lantern in the distance. On inves tigating we found our dog frothing at the mouth, and the light was com ing from the dog's mouth. The dog was snapping and digging its mouth and face in the earth. We went up to it and it started toward us, so we beat a hasty retreat into the house, and the dog turned and went off, still showing the light at its mouth and snapping. "From the safety of the house we called to- the dog, and after quite a time it came in a glad manner but still frothing and snapping. It want. ew to jump up to the window where we were and for safety we took a gun and killed it. "The dog was a thoroughbred Aire dale, one year old. Four witnessed the sight, two men and two women. Kindly let us know the cause of the dog's acting in this way.'' TALK AGAINST BOOZE Richmond Pearson Hobson, Hero of Many Kissing Bees, To Speak Lieut.

According to plans of the proposed building, as pre pared by P. D. Forbes, the structure will be GO by 70 feet, and will be equipped with a stage and large gal lery. The meeting at which the matter was .discussed was opened with a short musical program. Those who spoke were L. A. Read, principal of a Port land grades chool, who discussed the advisability of a gymnasium .from a teacher's standpoint; Rev. Thomas Broomf ield, pastor of the Gladstone Baptist church, who took up the sub ject from the viewpoint of thee om munity, and A. M. Grilley, of the Portland Young Men's Christian asso ciation. Following these talks, there was much general discussion, prac tically all of those who spoke favoring it. The school directors will be asked to include the erection of a gymnas. ium in their annual recommendations to the taxpayers. It is proposed to pay for the building with a 5 mill tax which would raise $2200. COLD TIME COMING Estacada Editor Glad to Announce that He Can Conserve Heat From the number of fire places be ing built in this neighborhood this fall, it looks as though a hard winter was expected.

This comfortable and home like residence now rivals the newly built Archie Yocum house nearby. ' The Irwin D. Wrights of Estacada will no longer help consume the heat from the editor's fire place on chilly evenings, as the Wright home is now being equipped with a massive fire place, Willis Cox doing the work. One of the allurements of the new W. F. Cary home on Terrace Addition is its fireplace and similar conven iences will be built in other homes this winter. (Estacada Progress) TEACHERS FAITHFUL County Instructors Take Extension Work Very Seriously In Clackamas county 193 teachers have received outlines for their pre scribed reading circle work, and 144 teachers have been sent their certifi cates by the extension division of the University of Oregon, which con ducts the reading circle work for the state superintendent's office. Of the whole number of public school teach ers in the state, about 4500, more than 3700 have enrolled and 2750 have received certificates.

Both bride and groom are well known in the coun. ty, and come of pioneer families. pent.like coils. Her lips blaze start lingly scarlet in her colorless counten ance and her eyes have a baleful, brooding light lurking in their depths. The picture has made the art sensa tion of the day in New York, and will, ere long, be sent on an exhibition tour through the country and shown in the theatres playing the Fox attrac tions. George Du Bois, the art critic of Modern Art, feays of it: "It is the most extraordinary pic ture of an extraordinary woman I have ever seen. I stood long before it; fascinated so that I could not move from the spot. The immense eyes with their slow smoldering fires fol low you everywhere with lazy and sensuous suggestion. The effect of the whole picture is almost terrify ing. 'Evil' it is well named, and it is attractive as sin." MRS. STEVENS AT REST Widow of Veteran Buried in Mountain View Cemetery The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Jane Stevens, who died in the county seat October 5, was held from the home of her son, George Stevens, on Wednes day of last week, interment following in Mountain View cemetery.

CO., Druggisto Oregon City, , Oregon EXHIBIT IS DELAYED Panama Slide May Defeat "Book Worms" of Southern Republic The collier Mars, one of the largest in the United States navy, on its way to San Francisco, is held up by slides in the Panama Canal, and probably will not be able to proceed before No vember. The Mars had been detail ed by Secretary of Navy Daniels to transport a number of the government exhibits at San Francisco to Panama, where they are to represent the Unit ed States at the National exposition which is to be opened by that coun try on January 21. , ' ' Among the exhibits to be carried from San Francisco to Panama are those of the Library of Congress, and the transportation of these to the tropics presents a difficult problem. In Panama there is a large white ant which might be described as the orig inal bookworm, as it devours volumes from cover to cover, leaving only a few scraps of paper. The library ex hibit includes, prints, maps and books which are practically priceless, and the officials of Ihe library are diligently searching for means to safeguard them from the insect pests. The Panama National Exposition is intended to commemorate the dis covery of the South Seas by Balboa, and to promote friendly feeling and trade relations between all American countries. Spain and Cuba have al ready. erected buildings upon the ex position grounds, in which they will maintain permanent commercial ex hibits. BOYS WILL BE BOYS But County Judge Anderson Thinks They Ought to Obey Mother, Too Neighbors of Mrs. Charles Baxter, who is the mother of Lloyd Baxter, were much surprised recently to see a fiery dog run hastily away from the district inhabited by Lloyd, who is 16 years old. The dog was really fiery his hair had been treated with kero sene and then ignited with a match. After the oil burned off, and took with it . some of the canine's hirstute adornment, the dog stopped running; but he did not seem anxious ' to re turn whence he had come. Investigation by Juvenile Officer Jack Frost led the fiery trail back to Lloyd, and Jack Frost finally decided that the best thing to do with the youngster was to take him before Judge Anderson. The county judge listened to the tale of Lloyd's achive ments, and then gave the boy a repri mand. After that the lad was releas. ed on condition that he would do the things that ho should do, shun the things that he should not do, and above all else, obey his mother. Judge Anderson is willing that boys should be boys, but he thinks they ought to be good boys. RHODES PAPERS TORPEDOED One Set Lost With Arabiq, Another With Hesperian, It is Believed On the bottom of the Irish sea are perhaps two sets of Rhodes scholar ship examination papers intended for the University of Oregon. In a let ter from W. C. Burnett, assistant sec retary of the local examination office ab Oxford, England, it is stated that: "The first documents were dispatch ed at the proper time, but according to information obtained from the postoffice "they went down in the Arabic. Duplicates, which. were post ed in Oxford September 1, appear to have been lost in the Hesperian. The third set, however, sent out from Oxford, has reached the Univer sity safely, and the examination was held October 5 and 6, with only one candidate. His answers to the exam ination papers were sent to London. There they will be graded and sent back to the local committee of selec tion, which is composed of the presi dents of the universities that have candidates.
