Summer Season Will Be Used In Pro tecting Roadbed Along Me oil am Creek With Rojk Weighing From Ono to Five Tons Would Prevent Periodical and Disastrous Washouts Heavy Rails Being Laid on Moun tain DIvlHlon. If rocks weighing from one to five tons each are able to resist the waters of Meacham creek, the O. R. A-N. company will be troubled no more with washouts of Its grade along the creek In the Blue 'mountains. A steam shovel and work train are now employed In getting out massive rock weighing all the way from one to five tons as foundations for the grade which is being built at the washouts and practically all of the grade recently destroyed will be re placed with this heavy material In the hope that a permanent foundation may be secured. ' A monster steam shovel Is at work in a rock quarry near Meacham and the side of the mountain Is being blasted out In securing rock for the work. The work of repairing the grade In this substantial manner will require practically all of the summer season and a work train will be kept busy hauling rock and other material for the repairs. If It were possible to change the grade to higher ground at the places where the track was damaged, this would be done, but there Is no room In the narrow canyon for a change. Consequently the company Is deter mined to make a permanent grade and will use every device known to en gineering to prevent the periodical washout In the Meacham creek can yon. The work of laying heavier steel on the mountain Is also progressing rap Idly and soon the roadbed of the O. R. & X. on the Blue mountains will be a model of railroad building. ' Rnby Goes to Europe. A. C. Ruby, president of the Com mercial National bank of this city and the well known horse Importer, will leave In a few days for Europe from where he will bring to Oregon another shipment of Percheron, Belgian and Shire horses for the northwest mar kets.

Fire Alarms Needed. The need of a fire alarm system was oiKie more demonstrated this morning when the department was called out to quench a chimney blaze at the home of Jesse Saling on Cos bls street between Court and Alta. Not knowing exactly where the fire was, the department kept on west on Alta until the limits of the city were reached. They then turned and came back and were still looking for the conflagration at last reports. A long, hard run would have been avoided with an up to date alarm system. O. R. & N. Orridnls Tlirough.

Robbers Work Combination and Gc $70 from Balfour Guthrie. Arlington, May 21. On entering tho office of Balfour, Guthrie & Co. this morning, Henry Thlssen, local man ager of the company, discovered the snfe open and the cash drawer gone.

Checks were not taken. Marshal Gray was notified as soon as the robbery was discovered, but at a late hour had not succeeded In find ing any trace of the thieves. The only clue so far is the fact that some boy saw two suspicious characters near the warehouse at dark yesterday evening. DISCRIMINATING LADIES. Bajey Valug HerplcMe oa Accent of It DlatlnctlvcneM.
