SILVER LAKE. Or.. Nov. 28. (Spe
cial.) To be deserted In the night by
his saddle horse and left stranded on
the face of a rugged lava mountain, 40
miles from the nearest habitation, was
the experience of A. B. Schroder, horse
man, of Silver Lake.
To lay In wait one day and one night
beside a watering hole where wild
horses drink; to rope, capture, saddle
and subdue an unbranded outlaw bronco,
and to ride the fighting animal more
than 60 miles home was the feat of
the same Mr. Scnroder, who has just
returned to Silver Lake to tell of the
Joys of camping; alone on Cougar Moun
tain when the mercury is playing tag
with zero.
Mr. Schroder rode alone to the lava
beds to round up some range horses he
expected to sell to agents of the Brit
ish and French governments. Night
fell before he found the animals and
the rider made camp to await daylight.
Horse Deserts Rider.
After making a lean-to of juniper
boughs Mr. Schroder built a roaring
campflre, tethered his horse where the
animal could keep warm, spread his
saddle blankets before the blaze and
went to sleep. As the campflre died the
horse became restless, slipped Its halter
and set out for home.
"I was warm when I went to sleep,"
relates Mr. Schroder In telling his ex
perience, "but the temperature dropped
rapidly during the night, and when I
awoke near morning It was bitter cold.
I rebuilt the fire and looked about for
my horse. All X found was a halter.
"The prospects of a 30-mile hike, lug
ging a 40-pound saddle, did not appeal
to me, so I sat down by the fire to await
daylight. In the morning I took the
rope from my saddle and walked to a
watering hole a short distance from
where I camped. Hundreds of horses
that feed over the lava bedr. drink at
this spring, so I built a blinl near one
of the trails and hid to await and rope
the first horse that crossed my path.
Wild Horses Shun Blind.
' ' "I chose the most frequented trail,
but for some reason all the horses that
drank at this hole that morning ap
proached the spring from the side oppo
site my blind.
"In the afternoon I discovered that
I was to the windward of the lava beds
and that I was being scented and
shunned by horses approaching the
spring. Toward night half a dozen dif
ferent droves came within 100 yards of
my blind, where the leader would halt,
sniff the air and then give a wide
berth to my hiding place. The others
would follow.
"When darkness fell I made another
campflre, ate my last biscuit and turned
In for the night. The weather con
tinued cold throughout the day and the
chill increased with the coming of
darkness. A stiff, cold wind breezed up
in the course of the night, and with
only two blankets for cover it was Im
possible for me to sleep.
Untamed Mount Captured.
"The wind shifted in the night, and
with the first streak of morning light
I returned to the watering hole to re
sume the watch. I let the first drove
of horses pass because nothing older
than a yearling came near enough to
my blind to be reached with a rope.
"The second drove sighted me and
took a side path to the spring. The
third drove, led by a big brown stallion
walked within CO feet of the blind, and
I shot a rope over the head of the
second in line. She was a trim sorrel
ware, unbranded and built like a run
ner. "We fought for half an hour before
the mare choked and went down. I was
nlmost all in and she was dripping with
perspiration. I 'hogtied' her until I
could fetch the saddle. She seemed so
docile about wearing the bridle that I
thought there was no more fight left.
This was a miscalculation, for when the
rope was untied and she struggled to
her feet the battle started all over.
Bucker Becomes Docile. -
"I was so tired that it was another
half hour before the saddle was on and
cinched. Then I climbed up and the
third contest was on. She knew more
about bucking than any professional
that ever performed at a round-up. and
she played everything on the programme
and responded to every encore.
"Before reaching the desert we were
on fairly good terms, and by the time
we were within 10 miles of home she
was as docile as a plow horse."
Mr. Schroder will return to the lava
beds within a few days to attempt to
capture the stallion that piloted the
drove from which he took the sorrel
mare. This stallion, he says. Is one of
the best unbranded animals he has ever
seen in the wild horse country.
WOMAN SEES SHIP SUNK
(Continued From First Page.)
"Wednesday we were walking just off
the promenade along the beach, when,
at 10 minutes past 12, we heard a dis
tant explosion, but as the wind was
very high and the sea making a lot
of roaring noise we paid no attention,
thinking it to be either distant gunfire
from the battle in Belgium or a salute
being fired at Sheerness cr Dover.
"But when we reached the beach a
minute or two later we saw a, handful
of people collected, gazing out to sea,
"What is the matter?" I asked -of nn
urchin in the group. 'Don't you ste
the gunboat?" he answered. "They nay
she's been torpedoed."
Fishing Ground Tragic Scene.
"There was no mistaking it. Some
thing was the matter with her. She
was rolling on her side and we could
see from all along the coast many
boats, including the large rod, white
and blue lifeboat, already putting out
" to her. There was a very rough sea,
and you know how rough a Sea in the
Channel can be. '
"The gunboat Niger had been torpe
doed by a German submarine which
lay submerged not more than two
miles from - where we stood watching
her go down- And In the very waters
where that enemy submarine lay sub
merged G." and I had gone fishing
the day before and I caught four fish,
with some friends of hers who have
a motorboat.
"When we were sure that the Niger
was sinking we rushed along. By this
time an immense crowd had gathered
at the house of the Pinnocks, whose
boat we had gone fishing In. They
were Just putting her out to the res
cue. Do you know, they towed In 30
men and then Mrs. Pinnock went back
herself at the helm without her hus
band and got six more, two of them
badly wounded from the explosion.
Sinking Canfri Shudder.
"Meanwhile I secured Pinnock'a tele,
scope and perched on a lighthouse to
watch the Niger sink. It was 20 min
utes before she was completely sub
merged, and It wan a terrible thing to
see her go. I never felt so impotent
as in that half hour, with the ship go
ing down and I standing there on the
shore idly watching while 13 men lost
their lives. I cannot tell you the ter
rible feeling it gave, except that it all
seemed unreal, with Rufus In the Navy
"Also to think that the enemy, who
had so cleverly struck down this steel
ship which guarded us, with within a
mile and a half of where we stood
Half an hour after the Niger went
down six furious and powerful destroy
ers had been summoned from Dover
and were steaming up and down the
sea, full steam ahead, trying to hound
down the enemys submarine, but they
never caught her.
Arrest aa Spy Intended.
"I saw all the rescued men brought
In. They were blanched and exhaust
ed, had lifebelts on, were barefoot and
dripping, for almost all of them had
been In the water. - Two were carried
away on stretchers, and there were
others wounded whom I did not see.
The legs of one were blown off and he
died that night.
"But here is where I come In. In
the evening I was dressing for dinner.
I came out of the bathroom and I saw
a policeman standing in the hall. When
I entered G's rom I found her and
R: with a Major In khaki, who after
wards turned out to be a plainclothes
detective.
Of course, I understood what It was
all about they took me for a spy and
thought I might have had something;
to do with the sinking of the Niger.
And there was evidence enough: I had
slept on the balcony a. few nights be
fore In order to. hear the guns of the
battle near Newport, a curious pro
ceeding at this time of year, which
several people knew of, as I had talked
aDout it.
Evidence Against Her.
"Then I had a German name. I had
Just come and the ship had just sunk.
I was a linguist, just the sort of per
son the Germans would choose for a
spy if they could. I had sent a long
descriptive telegram of the sinking of
me JNiger to Wilfrid (In London), di
rectly after the disaster occurred, and
signed myself "M. Zogbaum." And then
all Americans, in fact all aliens, friends
or otherwise, are obliged to register
in this restricted area, and I had failed
to do so, as I was only going to be
here a week.
"Well, they looked all through G.'s
correspondence first. About eight of
her letters were dated from Bucking-
nam palace, from her mother-in-law.
Lady Katherine. I did not lose my
neau a.i aii, out fj. aia a little, and In
her excitement began to speak French
witn me. There were six policemen
waiting outside with a motor car. I
should love to have fooled them and
had them arrest me and take me to
the Tower of London, but my concern
for the C's prevented me.
"I wish I had time to give you more
details, but I write this en route to
London and must put this In the em
bassy bag or it will never reach you.
It all went off all right. I'm still alive.
"MARGARET."
German Raid Feared.
The letter received by Mrs. Mont
gomery yesterday was dated Novem
ber 14 at "Sandown Lodge, Deal." A
previous letter, dated November 6.
throws additional light on the vivid
story of the battle.
"People here are frightened to death
and anticipate a German raid. A Ger
man submarine entered Dover harbor
the other day and got out unharmed.
We would make a good target for the
enemy here, as although we are cau
tioned to pull down, our curtains and
conceal our lights, the C's are always
forgetting to do so, when they stroll
out of their drawing-room windows at
night and we must be visible for miles
at sea. ,
"I am not a bit well, but G. is look
ing after me like a mother. She wants
to give up her bedroom to me but I
wont let ner. I. had my bed made up
on a balcony last night There was a
full moon rising out of the sea and
the balcony where I slept is not 50 feet
from the water's edge. .
"There was little wind, bright stars,
no mist and it was as warm as Sum
mer. London Is twice as far from here
(Deal), two hours by train, as the bat
tle line in Flanders. In the middle of
the night, kept awake by the surge of

the very brilliant moonlight, I sat up
and could hear the distant roar of the

WOMAN THINKS RING HERS
Token Found in Horse's Shoe May
Have Been Lost 15 Years.
ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 28. (Special.)
If the ring found in the shoe on a
horse's foot recently .proves to belong
to Mrs. M. V. MacDonald, of Portland,
she will have recovered property lost
for 15 years.
A few weeks ago, when a horse was
being shod in a blacksmith shop of
W. P. Morris here, a plain gold band
wedding ring was found In the calk of
its shoe.
Having read in The Oregonian about
the discovery, Mrs. MacDonald has
written here to learn if it is a ring
lost on a road near Albany a decade
and a half ago. Neither her ring nor
the one found have any engraved ini
tial, and an investigation is now in
progress to determine ownership of the
property.

SEASIDE, Or., Nov. 28. (Special.)
Active steps toward providing a can?l
for motorboats from Seaside to War
renton were taken here last night at
a meeting of the residents of Seaside
and surrounding towns. Committees
were appointed to confer with the Port
of Astoria Commissioners and the
motorboat clubs of Astoria and Port
land. Prior to the meeting last night
prominent citizens of Seaside had gone
over the ground between here and War-
renton with an engineer and a profile
map had been prepared, showing the
elevations along the line of the pro
posed canal which lies through a chain
of natural lakes, the highest point of
which is only seven feet above sea
level and as the greater portion of the
distance is already open by Way of the
string of lakes and a canal that, hits
been used for logging purposes, the
project is a simple one from an engi
neering standpoint.
Project Not New.
The possibilities for a canal that
would connoct Seaside with the Colum
bia River are so apparent that the
project was proposed many years ago,
but the necessary backing was not pro
cured at that time. However, a canal
was built from Cullaby Lake, which lies
about midway between Seaside and
Warrenton. to connect with the stream
that empties into the Columbia River
at Warrenton and this canal was used
until quite recently for rafting logs
from the slopes near Cullaby Lake into
the Columbia River. This canal, which
is about five miles long, is in excellent
condition. Cullaby Lake is about three
miles long and the other smaller lakes
tnat are available for use reduce the
distance that would be necessary to
aig 10 aDout tnree miles and one-half.
The completion of such a canal it is
declared would be a valuable factor In
reclaiming the rich marsh land along
the line, most of which is excellently
located for cranberry bogs, one of the
more recent of the Industries of this
part of the county, as the canal would
solve the drainage' problem. Transpor
tation zaciiities also would be given di
rectly to the same valuable lands and
water rates would then be available to
all that territory as well as to Seaside.
Timber Development Cited.
The immense timber holdings of the
Kecanlcum watershed it is Dointed out
could be made available to Columbia
River sawmills and pleasure motor
boats could cruise direct to the ocean
In quiet water from the entire basin of
the Columbia River and all of its
tributaries.
It has been suggested that a ship
canal could be built along the same
route with an entrance from the ocean
under the shelter of Tillamook Head,
where an adequate refuge harbor could
be provided by the building of a com
paratively short breakwater and that
such an entrance to the Columbia River
once built would obviate the heavy cost
of upkeep that now exists at the mouth
or tne river, as there would not be the
ever-present shoal-bulldlng tendencies
tnat exist at the mouth of a sediment.

A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF
Stop Falling; Hair -nd Itching-
Scalp At Once.
There is one sure war that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
It entirely. To do this. Just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is alt
you will need), apply It at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tip.
By morning most. If not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, EilVy and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.
If you value your hair, you should
get rid of dandruff at once, for noth
ing destroys the hair so quickly. It
not only starves the hair and makes it
fall out. but It makes It stringy, strag
gly, dull, dry. brittle and lifeless, and
everybody notices it. Adv.
