PROPERTY TO BE GUARDED
FROM HARM BY POLICE
EVEN THOUGH IT IS HALLOWE'EN
VANDALISM WILL NOT RE
TOLERATED.
"No vandalism will be tolerated to
night even though It is done in a spirit
of Hallowe'en fun." This is the edict
of Chief of Police Kearney and ho
will have the city well policed to pre
vent youths from working mischief
t.i property. He states that good nat
ured pranks which do not entail any
damage to property will not be pro
hibited, it not being his desire to re
strain the boys and girls from a prop
er observance of the spirit of the
time.
Just the same It will be well for
the citizens to put a padlock on hi
gate and place under lock and key any
portable property lying around his
place, else he may awake in the
morning to find them missing. To
night is Hallowe'en and. according to
the old superstition, ghosts, hobgob
lins, spirits and gnomes are supposed
to be abroad to work their mischief.
However, in these modern days the
mischief Is mostly done by real flesh-and-blood
beings.
Many parties have been planned for
ti-nleht and the hallowe'en spirit will
be very n'anlfest.

SON OF LATE HARRIMAN
IS VISITOR HERE TODAY
YOUTH STOPS OFF SHORT TIME -
AND ASKS QUESTIONS
ABOUT COUNTRY".
W. Averill Harrlman, only son and
one of the principal heirs of the late
K. H. Harrlman, famous railroad mag
nate and owner of the Union Pacifls
and other lines was a passenger on
westbound train No. 17 today and al
ighting from the train at the depot en
gaged Agent T. F. O'Brien In conver
sation during the stop here. He asked
many question regarding the local
country and local railroad problems.
Young Harrlman Is a slender yojth
who but recently reached his 21st
birthday and at that time w-as given
places as director on a number of the
companies In which the Harrlman es
tate has an Interest. However he is
not actively In the railroad work
himself and It is understood his trip
Is educational in its nature. The fact
that President Lovett is now in Port
land may have something to do with
his trip to that city at this time. j
Personally the son of the late rail-)
road wizard Is simple' and democratic
both In appearance and manner. He
won the approval of railroad work
ers by his Interest In railroading and
his zeal to gather first hand informa
tion on the subject.
