Some time ago, before Jack Flana gan left for Curry county on his hunting trip, his many friends were much worried at his very peculiar actions. It was not an uncommon sight to see him walking dejectedly down the street, apparently oblivious to all surroundings, and scarcely re sponding to the cheery howdy of his multitude of old-time pals and life long acquaintances. He was at times seen In earnest conversation with Dr. Straw and Ivy Condron, but noth ing definite could bo obtained from either gentleman, and at last tho gloom seemed to settle upon ovory one. Suddenly the clouds were lifted and Jack appeared upon our streets as cheery and genial as over, but no Information could bo obtained. When finally, through roundabout channels the story was consumated, and here it is. When Gow Why's last b'aby was born, Dr. Straw was the attending physician. The baby was very deli cate, and tosavo the little one's llfo Dr. Straw wired the Chutes in San Francisco to forward at once a baby incubator. It's wholesome effect up on tho little ono Is apparent today to all who have seen Gow's rolly polly, husky llttlo boy. Of course the Incubator fell Into disuse and was placed In stock by Gow. Ono night this summer, while tho doctor and Ivy were returning from council meeting, Ivy complained to tho Doc tor of tho scarcity of spring chickens. When, like a flash, Dr. Straw pro posed that they raise their own chickens, saying: "Wo can borrow Gow's baby incubator and with tho addition of an egg-tray it will work as good as any." Gow was consulted and gladly mado tho loan. Tho ma- chlno was at onco removed to tho Doctor's rosldenco and placed In his back yard. So far so good. Tho necessary egg-tray was subr.tltutod for tho llttlo woolen baby blankets, and tho gun was ready to load. De ciding the best was nono too good, Jack Flanagan was consulted, and tho Luther Burbank of tho poultry world of Plat B sold them a setll'jg of hs now blend of chlx, called thn "Sigma Chi Duckwings," and tho en gine was started. Ono morning, about three wooks later, Mrs. Straw heard the plaintive pip of tho now born, and rushing in shq oxcltcdly told tho Doctor of tho success of tho Incubator. The Doctor phoned Ivy, and It was with great gusto and gleo, they opened the drawer and thero was tho first llttlo product. Bqforo tho day was dono, ovory egg had hatched, and Ivy and tho Doctor kept various swinging doors on the turn all afternoon and evening. Tho lit tle dnes thrived, but their make-up seemed all to run to BUI. As they grew larger ana their bills developed, the Doctor became alarmed and took Jack up to seo them. It was a new one on Jack. And the cause of his deep abstraction was trying to figure out the reason. Ho was about to give It up, when, 0110 morning ho happened to run across one of Frank Wnlte's and Major Kinney's pet sea gulls laying an egg In a Sigma Chi nest. Tho mystery was at last solved, nnd gathering a new sitting of his Oklahoma Reds he hurriedly came to town and explained all to the Doctor and Ivy. Frank Walto hitched up his team and hauled back to Plat B tho motherless gulls, whereuhc and tho Major are acting a3 foster par ents to them. Tho machine was onco more loaded and tho Doctor and Ivy arc living In anticipation of winter evenings spent eating their fall springers. Truly, a happy ending. MAJOR KINNEY WILL HAVE OPERATION Major L. D. Kinney, who was down from Plat B yesterday was seen by a Times reporter and questioned re garding his going to a hospital for an -operation. The Major said ho would not submit to any operation until he was out of debt for he de sired that any sympathy arising from such a contingency should be genuine, and not out of anxiety over a possi bility of losing standing accounts. Mr. Kinney 'has been troubled with a mnlady which has been diagnosed as necrosis of the sternum and his phy sician says an operation is necessary for its relief. PEACHES ARE IN THE LOCAL MARKET Peaches arrived on the Breakwater nnd aro selling higher than was ex pected. The Crawford crop Is about finished and tho next in line will ,bo Muirs which will be in market within a few days. Scarcity and heavy rains which prevented picking, aro causes which havo raised tho prices. ALLIANCE WILL SAIL FOR BAY ON SATURDAY Portland, Aug. 27.

The Alliance was disabled on the morning of August 8. By sailing: Saturday she will havo been out of commission just three weeks, a longer period than was anticipated alter tho first hasty Inspection of her had been completed.
