plays, so as to present all subjects in

When Women Go On The

This is a hard one on the men who
oppose the women in their effort for
reform. You wouldn't believe it of
the ladies unless you see it with your
own eyes on the screen of the
GRAND THEATRE
where it will demonstrated beyond question
They deprive the men of their trousers. The
deacon is a sight to behold and lands in a water

dollars to doughnuts you will want to see it again.

A MERICANS In Mexico found it difficult in some parts of that revolution
Ized country to flee to Vera Cruz, El Paso and other points in accord

of the damage done to the railroad traffic by the rebels. Bridges were
dynamited and burned and tracks were ripped up by rebel bands of track
wreckers. These pictures tell the story better than words. They show graph

HENRY AN OFFSHOOT
OF OLD CAM TRIBE
PENDLETON, Ore., Sept. 26. That
Chief Yelkis, known as "Indian Hen
ry," the last of the Molallas, whose
i body was found this weelc near Mo-
i lalla, was really the last of one branch
' of the Cayuse tribe, is the statement
i of Mayor Lee Moorhouse, local histor
' ian, who holds that all northwest ethn
; ologists will concur in the statement,
j The Molallas, instead of being an in
' dividual tribe, were really an off shoot
; of the Cayuse tribe now living upon
!t'ne Umatilla reservation, he says, and
are the only Indians who preserved
the old Cayuse tongue in its purity.
"Many years ago," said the major
' in speaking of the death of the old
i Indian, "the Cayuses and Snakes
' fought a bloody battle near the pres
ent site of the town of Umatilla. The
Snakes were victorious and scattered
their enemies? One band headed west
with the Snakes in pursuit, and the
chase continued until . the fugitives
were across the Cascades. There they
settled in the Molalla valley, and nev
er returned to their tribesmen. The
other Cayuses remained here, and,
through thir close association with
other tribes lost their native tongue
and gradually adopted ""what is known
as the Nez Perce Walla Walla langu
age. "The Willamette valley branch,
which came to be known as the Mk
lalla tribe, however, kept their tongu-a
and preserved it to the lasi."
L. E. Karo, of Portland, has bought
for $16,260, the entire Oregon City
stock of Barde & Levitt and will begin
at once to put into operation a great
advertising campaign and sale .for the
disposal of the goods. Mr. Lvitt will
remain in the store during the dis
posal of the stock and will assist in
the sale that they have planned to be
gin in the next few days.
The stock was bought at the bank
ruptcy sale from B. N. Hicks, referee
in bankruptcy, at the same time that
the three other stores of the corpora
tion were sold. The total value of
the four stocks, $48,247.12, is divided
as follows: Salem, D. Sondheim, $13,
690; Corvallis, Matt Mosgrove, $12,
370.50; Hood River, M. Bloom, $5,935.
62; and L. E. Karo, Oregon City, $16,
260. The total of the bid for. the stock
of the four stores was that of Baron
& Fulop of $47,100. As the total of
the four bids exceeded that of the
single one, the referee ordered that
the stock be sold to the different bid
ders, which was done.
The bidders for the stock of the
Oregon City store were: L. E. Karo,
$16,260; Matt Mbsgrove, $15,832.06;
Ben Selling, $14,590. The highest bid
took the property.
Within the next few days, the own
ers will place the stock on sale for
final disposal and will clean itsjut of
the shelves. Mr. Levitt will be in the
store to assist the new owner and will
co-operate with him while the sale is
in progress and the shelves cleaned
of the old stock.
' Shortage of -capital at a critical
time is though to be responsible for
the failure of the firm and its declar
ation of insolvency.
.Thomas F,.Ryan an, assistant in the
office of the state treasurer at Salem,
was in Oregon City Friday on a visit
with his friends here. -
CITY IS DIVIDED INTO
Districts Are Numbered and Cards
Will be Printed and Sent to
Every Home Are to : N
be Tacked Up.
The new fire alarm system is com
pleted, the first' real alarm has been
turned in, and cards of information
are being prepared which give instruc
tions and information to be used in
case of fire.
The first fire since the installing
of the new boxes was the burning of
the frame building on the east side of
Main street between' Fourth and Fifth
Wednesday afternoon, and the effici
ency of the new system was shown.
Under this plan each telephone is
as effective as a direct box. All that
is necessary is to tell central the
name, address, and fire ward and she
rings in the alarm.
One feature that meets with some
little opposition is the test rings at
nine in the morning. It is said that
in case of a real fire at that time in
the" morning it would be almost impos
sible to summon t-ie department as its
members would, think the ringing
merely a test. . -
The fire wards are:
Ward 14 From Hawley mill north
to 6th street, and from railroad west
to river. . Signal 14. ...
Ward 15 From 6th street north to
11th and Railroad, west to river. Sig
nal 15. -
Ward 32. From Railroad avenue
west to river and 11th street, north to
city limits. Signal 32.
Ward 24 From city limits on the
south to 4th street and from the bluff
east to J. Q. Adams- Signal 24.
Ward 16. From 4th street north to
11th street, and -from the bluff east
to Harrison street. Signal 16.
Ward 43 11th street north to city
limits and from the railroad east to
city limits including all of Kansas
City. Signal 43.
Ward 27 All of Falls View. Sig
nal 27.
Ward 33 All of Elyville. Signal 33.
General Alarm for all departments;

Every morning at 9 o'clock there
will be a test signal of three rings.
