WIFE HUNTS FOR HUSBAND
George Shannon and Fishing Party
.Are Day Overdue.
BAKER, Or., June 12. (Special.) In
search of her husband, who, with
Ashing party, is nearly a day overdue,
Mrs. George Shannon . started by auto
towards Durkee, where It is reported
that a car answering to the description
of that driven by Mr. Shannon had been
seen.
Accompanied by William Miller and
Henry McMahon, Mr. Shannon- started
on the trip, intending to return last
night so that all three could go to
work this morning. No word had been
received from them at noon today.
trlct They- are waging a fight now
against a tent colony built up in their
district by Mrs. C. A. Wells.
It is declared by residents of the sec
tion that when they erected their homes,
or most of them at least, their prop
erty was restricted to modern struc
tures. They say they were not per
mitted to erect double houses, flats or
apartment houses because the tract was
reserved for a high-class residence sec
tion.
, City Attorney Investigate.
It is said that the restrictions seem
to have been lost eight of and after
the neighborhood has been built up
unsightly tent colonies are permitted
to spring up.
The fight against the tents has been
carried up to th City Council, but as
yet the Council has done nothing. The
question has been referred to City At
torney LaRoche to try to work out
some solution. He is looking Into the
question of some of the tents occupying
street space and also some other build
ings being on the street area.
The residents of the section say that
Mrs. Wells has erected the tents for
commercial purposes. She is not in
need, financially. It is said, being the
owner of considerable other property
in the city. They Bay the tents are
unsightly in the neighborhood, and have
greatly reduced the value of property
and the desirability of the district for
residence purposes. Attractive homes
face the tent colony on every side.
Protection ' la Sought.
The Heights Terrace people say they
are campaigning not only for the bene
fit of their own community, but also
for the general good of the city. They
contend that it is an exceedingly bad
thing for the city If unsightly things
are to be permitted in residence sec
tions after people have built .attractive
homes and improved their property.
It is a detriment that the city will
feel, these people say, and one which
111 keep many people from erecting
homes. They want the City Council to
prescribe a limit for the protection of
the districts established for attractive
homes.

July 7 for a 13-day session.
FARMERS EXPECT PLAGUE
Thousands of Grasshoppers Are In

BAKER. Or., June 12. (Special.)
Grdwing hope of ranchers that the cold
and rain had killed the grasshoppers
in that vicinity has been blasted by the
Spring sun, which has hatched out
thousands of the pests In the sandhills
in the Beech Creek district.
The number is so large that ranchers
expect a plague and are preparing a
campaign against inem to Keep crop
from being attacked, but it is believed
the loss will be immense.
The appearance of the army of grain
eaters' in the sandhill is considered
an indication that all of Grant County
will De invaded this season.

Report la That Order for Advertising
for Bids Has Been Received for
Long-Deferred Work.
Work on Portland's new $1,000,000,
six-story, modern Postoffice building,
it is alleged, will -perhaps begin some
time next August.
Postmaster Myers, according to re
liable information, received word from
the supervising architect at Washing
ton, D. C, yesterday, instructing him
to advertise for bids at once on the
construction of the entire building.
When these bids are opened at
Washington, August 7,. it is said, the
contract will be awarded at once.
That, at least, is what the Instruc
tions from the supervising architect are
reported to be. You may take them
for what they are worth, keeping in
mind that the supervising architect has
held up the work for one reason or an
other ever since 1912.
Therefore it probably is perfectly
safe to allege that there is a possibility,
so it is said, according to Postmaster
Frank S. Myers, that work will per
haps begin on the new PostofTice. un
less the supervising architect thinks
up another reason for stopping it once
more, some lime around August 7 or
thereafter principally thereafter.

Who judges Coffee
at your house?
"HO SITS at the breakfast table and gets
the real pleasure smile when the coffee is
so good? In almost every home there's
some one who instantly and immensely appreciates
good coffee. Some one who feels that the day is some
how wrong, unless it's well started with a cup or two
at breakfast. Your natural thought is, "Yes, that's
right, but how can I get such coffee? "
The answer is easy. You can
get such coffee only at your
grocer's. It will be packed only
in a vacuum-sealed tin. It will
be ground.
There are several good coffees
packed like this you're safe
with any of them.
Schilling's Best is good coffee
plus. It is fine coffee at the price
of good coffee.
The economy will surprise you.
In cost by the cup it closely rivals
the cheapest bulk coffee. And, as
to flavor well, there's no com
parison !
Much of this is due to the
vacuum-sealed tins. These per
mit us to grind the coffee into
even bits, so that every particle
yields the utmost smooth, rich
flavor. Then, after taking out the
bitterish chaff, the coffee is hur
riedly packed into the air-tight
tins that keep it ever-rfresh. To
get best results, follow directions.
Schilling! Best it sold through
grocers only.

Hilmer Papst, Hamilton F. Corbettand
Colonel H. C. Cabell were appointed
yesterday from the Chamber of Com
merce on a committee to interest busi

and professional men's military instruc
tion camp to be held at American Lake,
August 14-September 9.
This appointment was made follow
ing the address of Colonel Cornelius
Gardener, U. S. A. retired, before the
members' council. In which he outlined
the purposes and plans for the instruc
tion camp and urged the business men
to take a serious interest in the work.
Colonel Gardener warned the business
men against being lulled into a false
idea of security, pointing out upon what
small points frequently turn the dlplo-
matic interchanges which lead to war
or peace. In view of the insecurity of
peace, he maintained that the Nation
should keep itself always In readiness
for snch conditions as might arise.
"I-don't believe In universal military
service." he said, "but I do believe in
universal ' military training. Every
man should be given the knowledge
necessary to make It possible for him
to act effectively in case he should be
called upon for soldierly duty." '
Dr. Pierce's committee will meet
Tuesday with Colonel Gardener at a

handling the work in Portland in prep
