TRAIN ROBBERS
L
TUSCALOOSA, Ala., Sept. 27
Three masked bandits held up and
robbed the New York-New Orleans ex
press on the Alabama Great Southern
railway at Englewood early today and
escaped with $100,090. ; -
The gang fled on the locomotive of
the train they had robbed, exchanging
snots witn a posse pursuing them on
a switch engine. Distancing their
pursurers, the outlaws evidently aban
doned their engine at some lonely
spot on the line, for the locomotive
ran wild .through Tuscaloosa - and
stopped 40 miles from the scene of
the holdup when its steam was ex
hausted. '
During the pursuit one f the deputy
sheriffs shot and killed Deputy Sher
iff James Bonner, of Birmingham, by
accident.
The train was brought to a stop by
a fouled signal at Englewood, a sta
tion a few miles south- of here. While
the train crewwas investigating, tha

The Truth About It
There was an old veteran, also a
great braggart, who was always crack
ing up his prowess at Gettysburg and
Chickamauga and other battlefields,
and one day a group of fellow towns
men fell to talking about him.
"There's one thing," said the doc
tor, "that I'd like to know. I'd like
to know for certain Just how many of
the boys in gray Jake really and truly
did get away with."
"Well, I cant speak on oath," said
the minister, -with a twinkle In his eye,
"but it looks to me. doctor, when you
come tight down to hard pan, as if
Jake probably killed Just about as
many of the enemy as the enemy did
of him." Detroit Free Press.
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE
FARMER, r
The London Times in a recent is
sue comments upon the unorganized
farmers, and the relation this fact
bears to their lack of success in ad;
vantageously marketing the fruits of
their labors.
"Ayriciiltui-e, the only indispensable :n
dustiy, is also the only industry in Amer
ica that, taken as a whole, is yet unor
ganized. The American farmL-i-s as a
class there are some exceptions, partic
ularly in Wisconsin and among the fruit
growers of the Pacific Coast have not
yet mastered even the elements of mod
ern methods of marketing and distribu
tion; they receive for themselves, it has
been cahiculated. less than half what the
public pays for the produce they raise,
and their poiiticial influence is striking
ly disproportionate to their numbers and
their economic importance."
Consumers are of the opinion that,
the Government should work out some
plan vhich will solve the old problem
of dislribution.
The" Government has accomplished
wonderful things with reference to
production, and has given . valuable
aid to the farmers along this line,
but after helping them to . increased
production, halts at this halfway
point, and leaves the farmer and con
sumer widely separated. Other gov
ernments have done much in "aid of
co-operation that has made it possible
for their farmers to market their
goods at prices which pay them
for their work, though perhaps few
governments have done as much as
our own for the betterment of agri
cultural methods and for the making
"of two blades of grass to grow where
only one grew before."
The subject of cq operation for im
proved methods of marketing has
been . agitated, but it is hoped that
some good working plan may be
evolved through which "the govern
ment can help the farmer to get tha
value of his products.
Almost pure milk is the report. The
pure milk crusade was ont that paid.
Look out for good people and things
as well as bad ones, to notice and
think about.
COMPLETE STORY
IN ONE VOLUME
Since the eyes of the entire world
are now focused on that little narrow
neck of land which connects the two
Americas, the natives of that part of
the globe are beginning to wonder if
anybody has ever before known of
their existence.
Wilis J. Abbot, the author of the
new book on Panama and the canal,
takes his readers back "to the year
1500, at which time it is said the-first
Europeans landed at Panama. He de
scribes the people of the Isthmus tell
ing of their customs and dress; their
home life and -social activities; their
sports and pastimes. Interwoven with
these beautiful word pictures are hun
dreds of photographic reproductions
which accurately poftray the scenes in
the text. Mtiny of these pictures were
taken far from the path of the tour
ist, and show the almost uncivilized
natives who live, in the jungle, and
who are quite unknown outside of
their own little world because of the
great difficulty in reaching them.
Such illustrations are rare and are to
be found only in this book. Beautiful
large color plates also abound
throughout the book, and these are re
produced in splendid full pages from
water color studies. No book of a
similar character contains such a
wealth of magnificent color.
There is a world-wide interest in
Panama at the present time, and in
formation on the subject will be wel
corned by all who wish to keep
abreast of the times. Realizing this
situation, the Enterprise offers "Pan
ama and the Canal in Pictures and
Prose" on the popular pian evplained
in the certificate which is printed
daily elsewhere in these columns.

Garrick's Wit
David Garrick on one occasion pass
ed Tyburn as a huge crowd was as
sembling to witness the execution of a
crimiual. "Who is he?" asked the
great actor of a friend who accompa
nied bim.
"1 believe his name is Vowel." was
the reply.
"Ah." said Garrick, "I wonder which
of the vowels he is. for there are sev
eral. At all events it is certain that it
is neither 17 nor I!"

SCENE IN "OFFICER 666," HEILIG
ING SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER
THEATRE, THREE NIGHTS START-
28; MATINEE TUESDAY
The people who- witnessed the per
formance of "The Great Northwest,"
at the Bell Theatre last night were
surprised agreeably and unanimous in
their praises of the Burroughs-How-land
Players. It is safe to say that
never in the theatrical history of Ore.
gon Cityhas a company of playera
become so popular in so short a time.
"The Great Northwest" is a wonderful
play and calls for capable players, but
Mr. Howland has shown his good judg
ment in selecting his cas;. - Mr. Jack
Burroughs is a well know n actor-manager
in our city and has often been
seen in his clever character imperson
ations. -
Another favorite is Mr. Jerry Valon
tine,; a young and c'.ever actor, witJ
a very pleasing disposition, who joined
forces with tha Burroughs-Howlaad
Co,, coming from Frisco lor this en
gagement. Miss Jane Grey hails from
the Colonial Stock in Salt Lake City
ana is a very charming young person
with one of those contageous smii.es
which captivates her audiences. M.ss
Edith JUrcher is a character conudi
enne of ability and is a great ass-et to
the company she is in.
' - B?e Corr.b.
Eoe comb or beeswax, the material
of which the honey cells in the be
hive are composed, is a wax produced
by a system of chemistry carried tn
in the, "wax pockets" which are locat
ed iu the abdomen of all working bees.
It is a peculiar substance and is said
to be analogous to the fats of higher
animals. Originally it was supposed
that this wax was taken up in an al
most pure state from the flowers by
the bees, but experiments carried on
by the-leading botanists and chemists
of the world conclusively prove that
the bee is capable of elaborating his
peculiar wax, although confined to a
diet purely saccharin in its nature.
DOCTOR TRAVELS OVER

to the charm of tha Oregon
country, Dr. Vietor has not found it

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
Made Use of Her Gowns.
Some divorce agreements have con
tained the odd stipulation that the wife
should be provided with a spring and
fall dress suitable- to her condition. A
case is known where the husband stip
ulated to pay a certain sum (alimony
every week, but demanded that when
ever his wife discarded her gowns for
good they should be turned over to
him.- He was called a "tight fisted"
man by those who mildly disliked him
and a "contemptible old miser" by out
and out enemies. lie resold the gowns
