Later Mr. McMaugh became dis satisfied and left his home, and brought suit against the children to satisfy the deed. Before any evidence was introduced Saturday morning the court suggested that it might be well to effect a settlement by allowing John McMaugh to remain away from the home as he has been doing for the last few months, and that the chil dren pay a stipulated sum agreeable to all parties, the defendants claiming that they had offered to do this on numerous occasions.

Men Who Won Fame In the Days ef the Old Pony Express. Buffalo Bill Cody, It Is believed, holds the record for the longest horseback ride of which there Is authentic rec ord. He was one of that gallant band of fourscore pony express riders In the sixties. On one occasion young Cody he didn't become Buffalo Bill until some years afterward rode without rest for 322 miles. When the pony express was started for the purpose of carrying mall from St. Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento, Cal., a distance of 1.96G miles, It was planned that each rider should cover seventy five miles In a day on three different horses. It was soon found that twenty-live miles was too much for the horses for a regular unbroken gallop, und the distance was reduced to from ten to twelve miles. For that distance ev ery horse was pushed to his limit. The shortest time in which the en tire distance of 1,900 miles was cov ered by pony express riders was made In March, 1801.- They carried Lincoln's Inaugural address to the Golden State In seven days and seventeen hours, an' average speed of over ten and one half miles an hour. A rider named Ilaslain dashed off 120 miles In 8 hours and 10 minutes. Another pony expressman covered one ten mile stretch in 31 minutes, which Is better than most of the Rocky Mountain railroad limited trains can do. The news that Fort Sumter had been Bred upon was flashed from St. Joe to Sacramento In eight days and four teen hours. Jim Moore once rode 280 miles at an average speed of eighteen miles per hour. The horses were the best that could be obtained, and, as stutcd be fore, they made short runs of from ten to twelve miles. No wonder that sometimes a letter had $27 worth of stamps upon it when carried under such extraordinary con ditions! Philadelphia Ledger. TOLD BY THREE FIGURES. A Sum In Arithmetio That Would Take Many Lifetimes to Work Out. What Is the highest number that can be expressed with only three fig ures? Such is the question put by the Journal of the Astronomical So ciety of England. At first glance it would seem that the number was 999. But it is nothing of the sort; 999 is far away too small. What," then, Is the number? 99" that Is to say, the ninth power of the ninth power of 9. To ascertain what this number actu ally is we must refer to a table of logarithms, for it would take several lifetimes to do the multiplication. The number ' contains 3(19,093,100 figures. To write it out wo should have to fill 23 volumes of 800 pages each, with 14,000 figures to a page, and the num ber would be greater than that of all the atoms In creation. Henri Coupiu poluts out in La Na ture that there are stars so distant that their light, traveling at 180,320 miles a second, takes a million years to reach the earth. Astronomers have taken this as a unit and called it a "million light year." The number of atoms in a sphere of platinum that had that radius would be 225, fol lowed by 88 zeros. Now, n sphere that contained the number of atoms ex pressed by the ninth power of the ninth power of 9 would have to have a radius (In million light years)' of 1,239, followed by 123,231,000 zeros. And yet this colossal number can be expressed by three figures. Tame Silk. There is more slllc In the world than the silkworm ever knew. As a matter of fact, much of the "silk" which is worn Is merely guncotton in a new dress. It Is merely cotton dissolved in a bath of nitric acid, kept water free by the strongest vitriol. The jelly like result is then forced through very minute tubes, and the flue threads so produced are dropped Into water and rendered innocuous by ammonium sul phide. This "tame silk" has a fine lus ter and has all the flexibility of the worms' work. In fact, so close Is the resemblance that it needs an expert to distinguish them. London Chroni cle. She Liked Gloom. It is a matter for thankfulness that widows of this generation are more sensible than the dowager Countess of Buchan, who passed away in the year 1780. On the death of her husband she dressed herself entirely In black crape, engaged two black servants to wait upon her, ate nothing but black pud dings and drank for one whole year nothing but black cherry brandy. Yet she survived this gloomy diet twenty one years before the grim reaper gath ered her in. T. P.'s London Weekly. Diplomacy. "It takes diplomacy to get on with a husband," said the woman who speaks her mind freely. "I believe It does," replied Miss Cay enne. "As I understand It. diplomacy consists largely In seeming to he de ceived whether you are or not" St Louis Globe-Democrat Why She Took Him. Parson Do you. Liza, take Uastus for bet tali or for wuss?

CANNERY TO START Plant at Estacada Will Employ About 50 Persons Estacada will boast its first indus trial payroll in the course of the next few weeks, when the small fruits be gin to ripen. Arrangements have been completed by R. C. Deming, one of the leading small fruitgrowers of Clackamas county, for the opening of a modern canning plant at Estacada, which will give employment to 50 people in the plant an fully 100 pickers during the berry season. The initial payroll for this season will run about $6000, ac cording to Mr. Deming, who is com pleting details regarding equipment of the plant. For a number of years Estacada has made intermittent efforts to start such a project with co-operative fi nancing, but the plans have never ma terialized. The plant will confine its opera tions this season' to the canning of loganberries, raspberries, evergreen berries, blackberries and gooseberries. Last year Mr. Deming and other fruitgrowers of Clackamas county canned their fruits at the Gresham plant and marketed their product through brokers and wholesalers in the east, under the wholesalers' label. This year, however, all goods from the Estacada cannery ' will go under the trademark "Demestore Delicious Qual ity," the "Demestore" trademark be ing the first syllables of Deming, Es tacada and Oregon. MOLALLA CELEBRATES Thriving Community Plans Big Pro gram for Fourth ' The fourth of July will be the occasion for a big celebration at Mo lalla this year as the result of a de cision reached at a meeting of citi zens late last week. - .There is a pos sibility that interest may be aroused in part by the presence of a flying machine. W. A. Beck was elected chairman of the committee to have charge of the celebration and Emerson Reed will act as secretary. Concessions and the grounds will be in charge of Dr. E. R. Todd and Emerson Reed; programs, L. W. Robbins and G. L. Taylor; sports, Fred Park and Leo Shaver; finances, Bert Park and B. Barrick. Each of the committees named will se lect a third member and all will work toward making July fourth the big gest day of the many that have been celebrated by the Molalla people. JITNEY IS RUNNING After Being Arrested Man Provides Himself With Permit George Saunders says he can make money where another man failed. Therefore, George started operating a jitney to the Mountain View district on Saturday, to take the place of the one that gave up the effort last week. Saunders negleced to provide himself with a permit, however, and was hail ed before Recorder Loder soon after he made his first run. Mayor Hackett granted a special permit for the car and the. driver continued garnering the nickles. Saunders applied to the city touncil last night for a regular permit. He is operating a smaller car than the one which found the route did not pay.
