Postal Theft

"Spokane, Wash., Feb. 18.
'Tostmaster, Astoria:
"Sir This is to notify you of the
operations of a very clever money or
der forger now operating in your vi
cinity. Some time ago Station No.
15 Seattle, Wash., was burglarized
and money order forms Nos. 35033 to
35300 were stolen. 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. Please give this
your immediate attention and notify
alt merchants, so far as practicable.
' "Very respectfully,
"G. D. LINN,
v "Inspector in Charge."
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.
Kodak Supplies,
" A full line of films, papers, cameras,
kodaks, etc., just received at Hart's
Drug Store. . '

FIRE IN BREWERY
BOILER HOUSE
THE SKY WAS LIT UP AND
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE RAN
TO THE SCENE OF THE CON
FLAGRATION.
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.

SAN FRANCISCOi Feb. 20.-Cap-
tain A. McMorland, chief of the army
service of Sydney, Australia, arrived
in this city yesterday on the America
Maru on his way to London and
Aldershot, Eng., where he will take a
special course of instruction in trans

to fit him in the art of provisioning
the great army which Australia is
now training under its new system
of compulsory military education.
Capt. McMorland has already com
pleted a tour of investigation and
study through China and Japan. He
expects, during his journey across
America to England to study the
military 6ystem of this country.
Australia, through its recently est
ablished circle of cadet schools, will
soon be in a position to put into the
field at short notice a first class fight
ing force. Under the new compul
sory military education law, all young
men from the ages of 18 to 22 years,
will be required to take a complete
course of instructions in the art of
war. From the cadet school these
young soldiers would be graduated to

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. There is no vein to Win
with, he said. . ,
