four months, after - serving four years
for holding op a saloon at Ravenadale,
Wash, with two other-ymen. was ar
rested . last night by Detectives Snow
and Kerrigan, and confessed that he is
the man who.' has been cracking safes
In Portland and vicinity on tha whole

Portland stockyards, . where the drills
and powder With which he has been
working were secreted under a pile of
lumber. ''.-'...
It to admitted by Mason that he blew

alone, but In his other crimes be had an
accomplice. Mason is remarkably bright,
and his conversation sparkles with witticisms-He
refuses to give the name of
his accomplice, evidently hoping to se
cure a promise from the authorities to
deal with him leniently before he fur
nishes Information which will bring his
companion In crime to Justice. ' " --.
"How long does it take to drill Into
