The man waa thinly clad, his well worn shirt was open at the neck, his shoes were old and worn and he was without an overcoat on the coldest day of the winter In Portland. Thousands glanced at the banner at tne advertisement which the old man carried so faithfully. Hut no one paid the least attention to aTie man himself. He had air reed to carry the banner a certain number or hours bcrore he re ceived pay for his labors.

(Special Dispatch to Tbs JparnuL) Albany, Or., Feb. 1. A report comes from Benton county that the orchard of A. V. Carter, which was set out seven years ago. Is dying of some unknown cause and Is practically of no value. For two years the trees have been suf fering. Experts from the state agri cultural college on examination found a fungus growth on the roots of the trees and that this was due to the fact that the trees were set out on land that had been cleared from oak grubs and the particles that remained in the rround, in the process of decaying af eoted the roots of the young trees. It ' is considered advisable to thor oughly clean out land that has been re cently cleared before planting trees thereon. A thorough nlowinr for sev eral seasons and the growing of grain is advised.

'TERRIBLE" REAGAN IS SENT TO PRISON (United Freu Ld Wire.) Vancouver, B. C. Feb. 1. Johnny Reagan, alias "Terrible" Reagan, was yesterday sentenced to six months In jail on a charge of vagrancy. Reagan Is well known on the coast and has recent ly completed a term of three years in the British Columbia penitentiary. He was convicted of a hold-up in Vancou ver. Reagan is -the son of a prominent astern Canadian manufacturer who cast the lad off several years ago after he had been convicted of a number of crimes. (CnlUd Preas Uiaed Wirt.) Paris, Feb. 1. Henri LeMolne still insists that he can still make good making commercial diamonds, and the French authorities Insist he must "show them," if he expects to get out of Jail. His counsel is trying to Induce the government to accept ball. The government replied he can get out whenever he agrees to make a diamond In the presence of a few of the govern ment's witnesses. But Henri purposes to keeD his formula to himself, and will mildew In a cell rather than give the great secret away to a "lot of pry ing government experts." I Tho formula is in a deposit box In a I London bank. The French government has asked the bank to band it over. I The bank declines, except on LeMolne'S I oroer. and LeMoine won t give it. Most people thlnK LeMolne could not make a diamond If he tried. Lord Arm strong is a good Judge, however, and he declares he has seen LeMotne do it, knows there was no slelght-of-hand about It; he examined the diamond and round .it a real -and perfect one a beauty though rather small. When the case comes to trial the gov ernment has two witnesses who will swear they supplied I.eMolne the real diamonds which he slid into his retort. pretending to manufacture, then handed to his dupes as his own productions. Mir Julius wuentner. wno caused l- Moine s arrest. Is evidently a good deal puzzled himself. Even after the "dia mond maker" went to jail. Sir Julius offered to pay a round sum for the pris oner's secret processes if the latter would reveal it and let him make hi Sir com for an Interest in the diamond-making busi ness. He grew suspicious because LeMolne would make diamonds only when he fait like It, and the arrest followed. There's been a hint of winter in the air. Are ypur bedding needs supplied.
