In the early days he was interested In various ventures that brought development and pros perity to the country. He served the city as one of Its councllmen for two terms and later wo appointed the first sheriff of Hood Klver county.

Lowdeu brought three l'JO'J Newtown Pippins out of his pantry at Underwood the other day and found theiu In remarkably good con dltlon, considering they had Is-en In a south pantry over a year. They were slightly wrinkled, but upon placing In the ground a short time came out In good eatable condition The apples, of course, were tion-lrrl gated. The new lodge building which the Woodmen of the World have decided to erect will be a unique and striking structure. It will lie a log buuga low, and already the woodsman Is felling the timbers which are to le 14 foot and placed perpendicular, The dimensions are 40 feet wide and SO long, for a gymnasium and read Ing room are to be part of the build Ing. There will also be a second story While Mr. and Mrs. Hambllu were In Tacoma they lecame acquainted with a lady, Mrs. Shaw, from Phlla delphla, who was in the west look Ing for a location for a home. It took but it few words to Inttrest her In the White Salmon country; she came, she saw, and was delighted with the country; so much so that she had Mr. Hambllu negotiate with Herbert Williams, now lu Minneapo lis, for thirty acres of his land near the Wolpert place, paying $10,000, Part of the land Is developed. Dr. Kussell operated on a man's hand for a wound that was received In a peculiar way. The man under took to spank his young son, who uaturally threw his hand behind for protection. The lad had an Indelible pencil lu his fingers which the father struck, the point penetrating the wrist. For a week It was treated at Hood Klver, but would not heal The other day the arm was placed under Dr. Russell's X-ray and a lot of purple pus was shown. An Incls Ion brought It out ami It was high time, for a portion of the pencil was still there and causing trouble. W. L. Sutherland went to Olympla Monday to present the bill that.

FIRE EATERS. Th. Trick of Breathing Flames an, Sparks From tha Mouth. Fire tricks wore practiced In very ancient times. The first- known tire breather was a Syrian slave named Eunus, a loader In the Servile war In Sicily, 130 B. C. He pretended to have Immediate communication with the gods. When desirous of inspiring his followers with courage he breathed flames and spark!) from his mouth. In order to accomplish this rent V.U- nns pierced a nutshell at both ends, and, having filled it with some burn ing substance, he put It lu his mouth and breathed through it. The same trick Is performed today In a more appnoved manner. The performer rolls some flax or hemp into a ball about the size of a walnut, which he lets burn until It is nearly consumed. Then he rolls around It more flnx while it Is still burning. By this means the fire Is retalued In the ball for a long time. He slips this ball Id to his mouth unpercelved and breathes through it His breath re vives the fire, and be sustains no la- Jury so long as he Inhales only through his nostrils. Various theories have been advanced to account for other feats of this f'rt performed by the ancients. An old ordeal was the holding wf a red hot Iron by the accused, who was not burned if he were innocent Probably some protective paste was used on the hands. The peculiar property of mineral salts, such as alum. In pro tecting articles of dress from Cre has long been known. An old Milanese devised a costume consisting of a cloth covering for the body which had been steeped In alum. A metallic dress of wire gauze was added to this, and thus protected a man might walk on hot iron. Harper's. London's Dramatlo Cantors. London has had Its absurd dramatic censors even If it cannot quite come up to Vienna. Oolley Cibber In his auto biography tells us of one master of the revels who was responsible for the li censing of plays In those days expung ing the whole first act of "Richard III." on the ground that the distresses of Henry VI. would remind weak people of King James, then living In France. In fact, Shakespeare has more than once been censored, for "King Iar" was Inhibited during the illness of Oeorge III.

HUBBARD STARS IN PORTLANDVAUDEVILLE There nre hundreds of persons un dergoing a series of song and dance stunts at the Orpheuiu In Portland this week In order that they may hear a twenty minute "heart to heart" from Ells-rt Hubbard, the Royeroft philosopher and editor of the Philistine and Fra magazines of East Aurora, New York. It was a startling thing for many of the meni'icrs of the floek to think of their meek Pastor Hubbard In the glare of the footlights, when It was fitst announced that the sage of Erie county had taken a brief engagement on the Orpheuiu circuit. Mr. Hub bard went on first as an experiment, and when he found that many of his friends came there to bear him and that he reached a great group of per sons who hail not ls-en touched bv his writings or his more formal lec tures, be was pleased and resolved to spend a few weeks each year In vaudeville In the larger cities of the country. In speaking of his experiences on the circuit. The Fra said: "Many experiences come and go and are lost In the dust-bin of forgetfulness. This one will never pass. I made new friendships, and was one with a strange world, separate and divorced from the world of trade the world of mimicry and mimes, of players to whom 'The play's the thing' loving, tender. Intense, Innocent, loyal to tnelr art, living lu dreams, grips, boarding houses, steamer trunks and emotions, the children of the singe. Afterlife's fitful play may they sleep well. Ois bless them all." Of course Mr. Hubbard Is well paid for his 40 minutes work a day, It I-- Ing understood that the managers give ti I in $1.j00 a week. He Is always glad to meet people, and during this week In Portland the apostle of jov and work will lie entertained by the Press Club, and today he Is to Is? the guest of the Ad Club at luncheon, when he will speak on "How to Lose Money on Advertising." Mr. Hubbard Is a great advertiser for himself and other people, and It Is a question whether he can tell the ad men how to do something he has never done himself. At the close of the Orpheuiu engagement In Port laud Mr. Hubbard will leave the stage, and Is coming to Hood Klver to deliver his lecture, "The March of the Centuries," In the Heilbronner hall Monday evening. Shorter Hours For Hair Carvers At a meeting of the local barters' association held recently, a new agreement was reached lo regard to hours.

On holidays the shops will be closed, but will be kept open two hours later the evening before. IN LAW'S TOILS FOR ISSUINGJAD CHECKS J. P. Renshaw, said to is a real dent of Wasco, was arrested and brought back from Mosier Saturday for passing a fraudulent check for 110 on the Bragg Mercantile Com pany. The check was drawn on the Wasco Warehouse bank of Wasco. While endeavoring to convince the Bragg company that there must Is some mistake In the transaction, word waa received by telephone from The Dalles that Renshaw waa wanted at Pendleton for cashing a bad cneck for $25.
