The party who has these stolen orders in his posses sion fills same out for various amounts usually from $35 to $45, made pay able at the office where he wishes to operate, and changes the first figure in the number of the order from a 3 to an 8 by means of red ink. "His method is to .make a purchase at some store, usually jewelry cr clothing stores, and in payment pre sent one of these forged orders taking the difference in cash. So far as ad vised he always operates on Saturday nights, thus giving himself time to be out of town before the orders can be presented at the postoffice on the fol lowing Morlday. He usually identifies himself by letters he has upon his person, , "You will please interview your merchants and give them full particu lars of his methods of operation and description of the party, and impress upon them the importance of causing this party's immediate arrest should he appear, when this office should be notified by wire.

SURVIVORS OF EMILY REED V SECOND OFFICER AND THREE SEAMEN OP ILL-STARRED VESSEL ARRIVE ON SUE H. ELMORE HEROINE ABOARD. When the steamer Sue H. Elmore arrived in from Tillamook at 7 o'clock last night she brought, among her pas senger four survivors. of the ship Emily Reed. They were Second Of ficer Thompson and Seamen Vicente Sanchez, Lawrence Sullivan and Her man Uartels. From them it is learned that the captain's wife was a heroine. Previous report showed that she was 'tween decks during the trouble, when the fact ha been shown that she was called ou deck at once by Captain Kernel and was informed by him that lh. vessel was lost She proved her self a heroine by remaining on the poopdeck, and did all that a man could do to assist in saving life. ' According to the story of the sea men, who were among the saved, the chronometer was faulty and the cap tain was misled thereby. "1 was in the for'castle," said Sea man Sanchez, "and had changed my timepiece to conform with the ship's time, as I was going on watch at 2 o'clock in the morning. At a quarter to 2 the captain called us on deck and ordered the yards squared, and after we had done it the ship struck. I have been wrecked five times in dif ferent parts of the world, and I thought this was my end. When we struck, the vessel started to go to pieces right away. You say that the first officer and a boat reached shore? Good! I'm glad to hear it. We didn't think we would ever see them again or hear of them. We hurried aft, and as she broke up die surf broke over us. We kept as close together as we could, waiting for daylight.' The skipper's wife was with us, and she saw Ernest, the captain's boy, trying to reach us. 'Give me your hand, Ernest, I'll save you she said. 'Can't you see riiy hand, boy, here, here.' The spanker boom then swung around and, striking the un fortunate man, swept him into the surf and he was lost." At daybreak the crew, at low tide, reached the shore and were taken care of. The captain and his we were made the guests of Mr. Bozorth, where they are now resting, while those who arrived last night came up on the Sue H Elmore and are now in the city. They report that the vessel is-a to tal loss, even the survivors losing all their worldly effects, but happy in the thought that their lives have been spared.

What appeared to be a big fire and what actually was a bad one occurred in the boiler house of the North Pa cific Brewing Company's plant short ly before 11 o'clock last night There was a strong east wind blowing, and only quick work on the part of the firemen prevented the entire plant from being laid low. At this writing it is impossible to state the amountof the loss or the ac tual damage done. Manager Schimpff said it might run as high as $8,000 or $10,000, but could not estimate it with any accuracy as he did not know how badly the en gine and other machinery was dam aged. , The fire was well handled, and this proves that Astoria has a fire fighting crew to be proud of and it is.

CLCSSET&DZYZRS PORTLAND. OREGON. ARKANSAS DIAMONDS. NEW YORK,Feb. 20 -That real diamonds have been found in Arkan sas was the statement made in a paper read by George F. Kunz of New York, one of the foremost American experts on precious stones, before the American Institute of Mining Eng ineers yesterday. Kunz stated that about 140 diamonds had been found near Murfreesboro, Ark., and that they were without doubt the genuine product of the country. He said: "From the 200 karats available for examination, it appears that the Ark ansas gems compare favorably with most of those in South Africa. Their average size is fairlv s-ood. thouo u far none larger than 6.5 karats have oeen found. There js a large propor tion of white stones, for the most nar of a high grade in brilliancy and free dom from flaws. Some of the yellow ones are of exceptional quality. , He pointed out that these diamond finds are isolated and that no cred ence should be given to a report that the continuance of the vein has hr found.
