Fowls Are Apt Posers

ril KrHponHlliility of B-'4iminic
MihIHn fop Amat.-ur AMIhib in
lurtlaud Svhuol.
ALMDT hunian Intelligt me In pos.
ir.g has been sho'n by an uld
jrray roosttr and u little brwn
lien that have betn requisitioned as
models (or drawing ptiiili'ius in one of
liie city schools. The pupil h:ive
made sufficient progress In their work
so that they draw living objects. They
have pictured flowers. houses ujid
other inanimate things and are now
Jrawlng birds. Next they will tike up
the study of animals ami will draw
from livlnif models.
Tin; drawliiK teacher asked uine of
the pupils who could do so. to feteli
cliKkcus to school from which the
class could draw pictures. A number
of fowls were brought, but they proved
shy or uneasy and all moved about so
much that they made poor subjects for
the children's pencils.
One boy suggested that he had a
rooster at home that would, he felt
sure, prove an apt poser. The next
day the lad brought hl.s biff gray
rooster and placed him on the teacher's
desk w1hu the hour came for the
drawing lesson. The fowl seemed to
realize his responsibility and strutted
up and down the desk as proud as a
peacock on Uie sunny side of the barn,
lie could not have posed better If he
had been trained to it ail his life and
seeim d to enjoy being the cvnosure of
all eyes.
The next day the same boy brought
a little brown lien to school with the
rooster and she was placed on the desk
where the students could see to draw
her. After she had posed for an boor,
the little brown hen laid an egg on the
teacher s desk and thereupon set up a
territic cackling. The big gray rooster
assumed an even prouder position than
before, flapped his wings and crowed
lustily. The teacher and pupils were
delighted with the scene of barnyard
domesticity and to make a proper
climax for the Incident the teacher
was given the egg by the owner of
the chickens. The egg witb the inter
esting history was eaten the next
morning at the teacher's breakfast.
Fire In Theater at Boise.
BOISB, Idaho, March 7. The Columbia
Theater was damaged by fire early this'
morning and for a time it seemed that
the entire structure would be destroyed.
Lai night the theater was crowded at a
number of Y. M. C. A. lecture courses.
The fire started in a shed in the rear of
the theater and spread to the stage. The
structure will be only temporarily re
paired and will give way next Summer to
a fireproof structure.
Tomorrow and Tuesday will positively be
the last days for discount on West Side
sas bills. l-vKTLrAND GAS COMPANY.

The case t f the State of Oregon against
Professor B. E. Hughson, which has been
on trial before Justice of the Peace Reid,

NOTE FOUND IN BOTTLE
Purports to Be Last Message From
C. Stacy, of Rainier.
TV. B. Griffith, Deputy United States
Marshal, who returned yesterday from
Port Orford. brought with him a note
that purports to have been written by
C. Stacy, of Rainier, while in an open
boat about 15 miles off Columbia bar.
The message Is written with a lead
pencil, and was found in .an empty
whiskey bottle which ' was picked up
on the beach near Port Orford recently
by George Sutton. The note bears
date of March 12, 1906, and la as fol
lows: "Just finished this bottle Expect to
be drowned. Open boat, IS miles oft
the Columbia (bar),
. "C. STACY, Rainier."
The finding of such messages or
dinarily do not attract any particular
attention, from people living along the
Coast, but this one had the appearance
of genuineness. The finder requested
Mr. Griffith to have the note pub
lished, hoping thereby to ascertain if
there is such a person missing from
P.ainier, and also if possible, to learn
the fate of Stacy.
