The' amount, added to the available balance, will provide ample (uihIh for continuing work throughout the coming lineal vear, ml the fact that all three of them work are now known a "continuing contracts" will probably mean that ap propriation therefor will be made in the milidry civil bill and will not de pend uiMin the imaxuge of a river and harbor bill at the coming mnnion.

With nitro glycerine and borrowed tool, three mfe-cracker forced the vault of the private bank of Scroggin & Wortman, here early Monday morning, took $5, 000 in gold and silver ami eacaixxl without leaving a'clew, not ithstand ingtbatJ. Z. Eakin, the mayor of Sheridan, took three rifle allot at them from clime range. Ho similar were their method to thim of the bandit gang who attempt ed to rob the Newberg batik on October 1, that no doubt exist in the mind of Sheriff Sitton, of Yamhill county, and hi deputies that the roblier bam Is are identical. The robber entered tbe bank by trV' ing open the front door. A brick vault with wall thn fet-t thick were cut through with tool borrowed from the railroad toolj house at Bullston, four mile away. The amull safe inside the large vault wa then drilled, nitro glycerine was oured in and an explo- ioii uri-urreo, wnicn wrecKeu the sale, the vault and the interior of the bank, ami tbe plate glass window in front. rierea of tbe safe were thrown through the steel door of the vault and into the street. The sound of the explosion alarmed Mayor Eakiu and;, other citizens. With bullet inging over their heads. the roblier climbed into a buggy with the valuable contents of the bank a freight, and drove to the southward. Within half an hour all Sheridan knew that the only bank in town had been rohlied. The identity of tbe safe roblier is as much a mystery a their present loca tion, and it wa the belief of Sheriff Sitton that 'the gang who terrorized Newberg returned immediately to Port- lam!, if tin holds true in the Sheri dan robliery, the move to the south ward was merely a blind.
