Santa Claus has asked us to tell all the mothers and fathers that there will be an even greater supply of Toys and Dolls this year than ever before, when Santa arrives wun nis nugs yavm. m Christmas-time.

Cook Arrested by Officer Pitta for Shocking Domb Animal and Trial Will Be Today. The Inventive genius of C. J. Cook, an excavating contractor, brought him to grief yesterday, when a new and entirely original system of making mules hurry was being tried out In a practical way under the Morrison street bridge. Cook owns several mules, which he uses In excavating work, and ho has been sorely troubled In the past be cause of "Maud's" rtfusal to speed up. Therefore, he originated a system whereby electricity was introduced. Louis Pitts, an officer of the Oregon Humane Society, noticed Cook apply ing a peculiarly shaped box to the mule's back. Wires led from the box io Cook's pocket. Each time Cook put his hand in his pocket "Maud" jumped several feet and ran, with very satisfy ing result to Mr. Cook. He gave the mule frequent electric shocks. Mr. Pitts protested, but Cook in sisted that the hide of a mule was non-conductive. Just the same as rub ber, only that the leather hide does not have the "spring" that rubber has. This will be threshed out in Municipal Court this morning, where Cook will appear to answer a charge of cruelty to animals. WILD PLUM CROP HEAVY Lake County Thickets Burdened With Free Fruit.

For the first time in several years the city was unable yesterday to get any bids on bonds offered for sale. Tenders were to have been opened for an issue of J150.000 in long-time 4 per cent dock bonds, but there were none to be opened. This is said to be due to demoraliza tion of the bond market as a result of the war. On 6 per cent 10-year im provement bonds sold about three weeks ago the best price was a premium of 2 per cent. The city will offer 300. 000 more of the improvement bonds for sale on September 22. 300 BABES VIE TODAY DOCTORS TO TEST EUGENIC TOTS FOR THREE HOURS. have donated material and for construction of the booths. labor I Mayor to Open Show fn Yeon Building This Morulas: Many Interesting Exhibits Prepared.
