Threo months ago two Jolly buoy aint French newspaper men, Louis .Avenel and Oustave Laurent of Mon treal, Canada, were In Pendleton for week, on a tour of the world on foot. They were extremely cordial and intelligent and made many friends here. While traveling together northern California, they were at tacked by robbers and Laurent was killed. Avenel declares that he will spend his life in California to find the murderer and the San Francisco "h1I of January 4, gives the following Account of his efforts in that city: Louis Avenel. a French newspaper man and clone trotter, called at police headquarters yesterday morning with a clipping from a local paper con taining a photograph of James Welch alias Donald Walsh, one of the three men arrested on Sunday morning for holding up Marcelln Cauee. saloon keeper. Fourth street. Avenel said lie believed Welch was the rob- her who shot and killed his companion i.ustnve Laurent near ltedding. In the early morning of October 31. Avenel and Laurent had met at Portland and had decided to work their way to this city. They were on a car of a freight train and. after the car was about four miles from Red ding, two men climbed on the car and ordered them to throw up their hands. Laurent had a revolver and he fired a shot at the two robbers. One of them fired three or four shout at Laurent, hitting him. and he died In about two hours. After firing the Knots the two robbers Jumped from ihe moving train and escaped. Avenel swore that he would hunt down the murderer of his companion and he has been devoting the-last two months to that purpose. He was "taken to the city prison by Detective Coleman, who was accompanied by Interpreter Aguirre. Avenel wanted Agulrre to ask Welch If he had a quarrel with a woman in Redding the day after the murder and if he replied In the affirmative he would be the man. The question was asked Welch, but he said he never had a quarrel with any woman In Redding. Avenel then had a look at him and said he close ly resembled the man who shot his friend. He said he would lay the matter before the French consul here, which he did. He promised to return to headquarters, but failed to do so. Welch said he had been working In a lumber camp at Millwood, Shasta county, for some months and left last July, coming to this city. He could, he said, easily prove an alibi and did not worry about Avenel's allegation. JaTATlS OP KITTITAS SCHEME. Tlrl loved That Lack of Funds Will Operate Against Project. The Post-Intelllgencer has a spe clal dispatch from Washington which i. reads as follows: In view of the recent telegram from Ellensburg citizens urging the adop tion of an Irrigation project for Kitti ' founty, the following official state ment of the present status of the pro . Ject was obtained at the reclamation service today: "During the last quarter reconnols wiice surveys were completed to de termine the feasibility of various new lines at different levels, and in addi tion to this a more careful examination was made of the high line canal pre viously considered. These surveys in dicated that from 30.000 to 60,000 acres might be Irrigated, depending on the line adopted. A ..preliminary report and estimate was preferred, and on October 31 was reviewed by a board of engineers, which recommended that this sub project receive due consideration when funds for Its construction became available. "Other than stream and ditch gaug ing no further work Is contemplated during the coming quarter." Jt Is believed here that lack of funds will operate against the Kittitas pro .

"Sot so many years ago It was quit commonly asserted that modern work men could not quarry, or, having quar ried, could not handle stones as large s the monoliths of Egypt," says a sci entist, "and the writer lias heard a pub lic speaker of note assert that It would be Impossible to handle, with modern Implements, such large stones as were used In the pyramids or to Join them as perfectly as they are Joiued there. Tet, when occasion arose, larger stone than any of these were quarried la Maine, nnd some of the larger mono liths themselves were transported not only to sea, but across It aud erected iu England, France aud America. "There are Individuals today who might if they chose c-uuse the transpor tation to aud erection iu this country of the largest pyramids or build new oues ten times larger and more dur able. Pyramids are not being general ly built nowadays because they are not iu liue w ith the trend of modern atnbl tiou, that's all.

A correspondent requests that we print some of the striking things great men have said about newspapers that is, sayings that embody the purpose and doings of the press. With pleas ure. Bryant said: "The press Is good or evil, according to the character of those who direct it. It is a mill that grinds all that is put into its hopper. Fill the hopper with poisoned grain, and it will grind it to meal, but there is death in the bread." James Parton-said : "The newspaper press is the peoiie'8 university. Half the readers in Christendom read little else." Jefferson said: "The basis of our gov ernment being the opinion of the peo ple, the very first object should be to keep that right, and were? it left to me to decide whether we should have a. government without newspapers or newspapers without a government I Should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Cardinal Gibbons said: "The "read of exposure in the public press keeps many a man sticking close to the path at rec titude who otherwise would stray off Into the byways of graft" Cntnajro Journal.

(ho Beat Imitation of It la Made of Celluloid. "Celluloid makes the best Imitation of tortoise shell," says a manufacturer. "It has the requisite hardness aud lus ter and approximates so closely to the real shell that, although I have han dled both products many years, I can not always tell one from another at a glance. Of course I can do so by making a close Inspection. The ability to distinguish shell from celluloid by the appearance can only be acquired by years of experience In handling both. "The principal way In which cellu loid is revealed is In Its susceptibility to the (hllupuce of heat Hold a cel luloid comb In your hand and the heat of the body will cause the teeth, after a few moments, to give a trifle, and there Is not the elasticity In springing back that you will observe iu real shell. Tortoise shell will not bend un less subjected to heat lit the boiling point. There is, of course, a great dif ference iu the celluloid employed In manufacturing combs, and some of the combs that are put out under that mime are not entitled to the designa tion. Even when the celluloid Is of the highest grade It then should be season ed from three to twelve months In or der that there niny be no danger of it shrinking." Jewelers' Circular. A JAPANESE LEGEND. The Girl Fliih and the Shinto Shrine at Choahl. Most Shinto shrines In Japan have a story. Here is one which is told of the leading shrine of Choshl: A traveler was entertained in the home of a rich man. A daughter of the host fell in love with the traveler, who did not care for her because she was ugly. Being under obligation to the family, he could not Ignore the girl's love, so he told her that he meant to drown himself the next day. She decided to do the same nnd did it The traveler gave up the Idea if he ever had it One of the gods changed the girl into a fish, and to this day the fishermen of the town often see that particular fish in the waters near their shores. Some times she is caught in the nets, but she Is .always reverently returned to the sea. A shrine was erected ou the hl'.l above the town and dedicated to the memory of the girl fish. Before starting out to sea the fisher men go to this Bhrine to pray for good luck, and in their absence the families continue to Invoke the favor of the god. A storm at sea or absence of good luck mean that the fish god has been of fended and must be appeased by spe cial offerings. -Chicago News. PANTS AND VESTS. Tao Blflarenoe Between Taeai MS fvonaera as4 Watatcaata. Why do the trade Journals Ignore the word "pants," and what Is tt differ ence between "trowsers" and "trou sers" and between "vest" and "waist coat?" aaks a correspondent of the Clothier and Furnisher. Pants" Is an abbreviation of "pan taloons," a word foisted upon us by the French, though possibly derived from the Italian "pantaleoo," which, according to the-poet Iiyron, has an 111 defined connection wltli the linn of St Mark's, in Venice. "Trows!rs" is old English modernized Into "trousers," which is the proper spelllns. "Vest" is an abbreviation- of "vestment." An other poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, traces it to Londoners iu his line which says: The dangerous waistcoat, tolled! ay cock neys "vest." Genteel usage declares "pants" to be vulgar, though it and "pantaloons" and vest" have their place in trade- and o receive recognition!.
