Bond Bros. Peadleton'i Leading Clothien J BANKER SAYS HE HAS FOUND RICH ORE BED SEATTLE, Wash.,-Aug. 11. Din covery of what he declares promise to be the richest mineral land ever lo cated has been made on the Stlnglne river, 40 miles below Telegraph Creek in northern British Columbia, accord ing to J. E. Chllberg. prominent Seat tle banker, who has returned from a trip to that region. If the discovery Is as big as it looks and as rich as the Assays indicate, Chllberg says, It Is the biggest mineral find the world has known. According to Chilberg the zone In cludes sliver, lead, tine and copper ore and the contact has been exposed for miles. The veins may run, he says, from Hrltlsh Columbia to Lynn Canal, Alaska. The ore taken from the sone and assayed thus far, Chllberg says, runs about M99 to the ton. The sum of 150,000 Is to be spent in developing the prospect immediately and the first ore Is expected to be sent out next spring. f )c-an Money Plentiful. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. The lat est fnd among high government offi cials here is Mexican money of varl- oue revolutionary vintage of the last few years. Mils and "coins ef curious design and Interesting history have lieen brought here by exceedingly generous envoys of the warring Mex ican factions. The bills have very little value In Mexico and none what ever here. Attorne;' General Gregory is one of the faddists. He has some strik ingly original SI and 12 coins which Zapata turns out in his private mint when funds In his camp run low a condition which Is said to have be come chronic. These coins are said to t.e of gold and sliver mixed, but the attorney general Is very skeptical about the yellow Ingredient At any rate, they are the first of their kind ever issued by any government and tire particularly prized. Thee are M bills galore In Waiih. Ington almost enough, In fact, to Mart a new revolution. The mints of Mexico have been working over time. One day Carranza enters Mex ico City and turns out his where withal, daring anybody to spend any other kind. The next day Villa goes J:i and makes his. Then Zapata fol lows suit, Some of the notes were Issued by Carrnnza and Villa when they were partners In the rebellion business. and since they dissolved their $1 nots have been worth only 7 cent In Mexico. Ail these notes have been counter felted over and over again, but what's the use? Caranza ahooti all who spend genuine Villa money, and tne latter returns the compliment. Adopted Daughter (Jets Fortune. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Aug. 10. Fifteen years ago, Alice Glenesk, pret. ty 22 years old, was left In Scotland with her three sisters and her mother widowed when he father died while acting as a missionary In Congo Free State. The girl worked with her mother and sisters In the woolen mills, later being adopted by a Minneapolis couple and brought here. Today she received the fortune of Mr. and Mrs. Uobert M. Schmerler, who had adopt ed her. "She was as a daughter to us," read their wills. HKKS MAKE ATTACK O.V ENGLISH SOLDIERS LONDON, Aug. 10. It was the "Battle of the Bees" In llampstead, London's pretty suburb. A full regiment ot soldiers and a full swarm a'. bees were the combatants. The bees swarmed Heath, avenue Horses reared, women scream- ed and ran, the police arrived and then the soldiers were sum- moned. The bees showed fig'it and nearly routed the soldiers until one "Tommy" who knew bee-lore, captured the queen. He put her in a small box In a 0 nearby garden and the bee war- rlors docilely followed. The battle was over. ft There's a body, a crisp ness and true corn fla vour to the New Post Toasties that are unequalled by any other corn flake.

Federal Atithnritk-H Are Worrying Over Outcome of Their "( lean-up t aniHUgn" Hogs Said to he He sponMihle for Carrying Dlncane More Than Other Animals. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. The sus ceptibility of swine to the foot and mouth disease and the failure on the Part of swine owners to recognize Its symptoms are giving the federal au thorltles no small amount of worry In their "clean-up" campaign. Sore mouth, a common indication of the disease, Is an ordinary sequence of hog cholera, and contusions on the feet are frequent In swine which have been driven or shipped. For these reasons little attention la paid by the owners of swine to these symptoms, and unless the herd Is located within suspicious territory foot and mouth disease may continue In a chronic form for a considerable length of time before discovery. The danger of course lies In the ability of these ani mals to disseminate the disease. Since the first case of foot and mouth disease found In a herd of hogs In Michigan, which later permitted the infection of the Chicago stock yards, hogs more than any other ani mal have been responsible for the spread of the disease. A few months ago, in the outskirts of Philadelphia, In a district containing close to 20.000 swine kept in small lots, several thou sand were found to be infected. On July 29 foot and mouth disease Infection was discovered to exist in a herd of 20 cattle within the city lim it of Hornell. Steuben county. New York. Another herd of 25 cattle. pastured across the road from these, had been exposed and is under sur veillance. As no known cause of the disease had previously been found within a radius of over "5 miles, the source of the Infection remained a mystery until two days later, when 125 swine, divided among five herds, were found Infected within a balf mile of the first discovered premises. These swine had evidently had the disease In a mild form for a considerable length of time. Infection had been carried from these to the cattle through drainage. This again emphasizes the need, the authorities state, for continued care ful examination of all live stock in previously infected areas, especially large herds of swine. Farmers and stock raisers by giving immediate no tice of any suspicious cases to the nearest health officer will greatly aid the authorities in their efforts to eli minate this pest, which is allowed to gain a foothold would result In untold damage to the nation. Owing to the fact that few animals are shipped from the section in which the latest outbreak occurred, it is be lieved that no-erious or widespread complications will result from this new center of Infection. Placer Mine Claims Sold. BANDON, Ore., Aug. 10. With the purchase of the old Dlvelbiss and Paddlson claims last week by a Cali fornia syndicate, renewed placer min ing activity In this section is assured. The launching of plans to improve and develop the property were almost simultaneous with the purchase. A force of 40 laborers has begun the construction of five milts of flume and ditch that will supply the water for the operations. When completed this flume will carry the largest head of water ever used in this section. ( H1!(.KS FAKED SAYS V.x. SPY. A : . : v S. I f 4. IV x V V 4 IG iv AT HIS T. UHCOIN, NEW TORK, Aug. 11. Ignatius T. Lincoln, former member of the Brit ish parliament, and self confessed German spy, arraigned on a charge of forgery In a Brooklyn court, says that the charges on which he is held were faked. The complatnent was the British consul general. Lincoln's real name Is Trebltch and he was born In Hungary. He says England is trying "to get him" because he made public the fact that British censors had de stroyed begging letters to the Ameri can Red Cross from Austria.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11. The end of the first year of the colossal Eu-' ropean war brings with it no Indlca-1 tlons that any of the belligerents are weakening in resolution or running short of men or money. A review of the financial drain upon the va-! rious countries at war proves espe cially Interesting at this time show-' lng, as It does, the gigantic cost of war. Excluding Italy, the war loanj have aggregated approximately $15, 500,000,000 for all the other belllg-1 erents. Tto this must be added the total Indebtedness of the warring na-l tlons at the outbreak of the war, in-1 eluding the debts of the several states of th German empire which' was approximately 123.000,000,000 and the resulting )48, 000,000 shows' what a stupendous burden these countries are now bearing. The cash expenditures of Great Britain are larger than those of any other coun-j ty, as service In the army and navy' Is voluntary and the pay and allow-' snces are mucl higher than in the continental countries. In March te' extraordinary expenditures of Great Britain were stated to be about $10,-1 000,000 a day. but the chancellor of( the exchequer recently stated that they had reached $15,000,000 and were still rising. The expenditures of tile German government are probably next to those of Great Britain. The govern-: ment has realized $3,490,000,000 by, means of two loans, which It Is un derstood will carry the war Into the coming fall, but as its expenditures1 have been growing, It Is probable that! they are now as much as $10,000,000, per day. Altogether the estimate of $50,000,000 per day for the outlays of all the governments engaged In the conflict is seen not to be Im probable, but on the other hand quite probable. In order to curb New York's smoke evil, many arrests on land and water have been made during the past month, and It Is believed that the residents of the city will suffer less than this nuisance In the future. Railroad companies, power houses, harbor tugs, factories, Indus trial and public service plans and some apartment houses were among the offenders. So much momentum has this campaign for pure air attain ed that the city government is even turning accuser against Itself, and will attempt to set a good example by reducing the amount of dense, black smoke which issues from the pumping station of the water depart ment at Ridgewood. The health de partment authorities say that there Is no excuse for letting clouds ot black smoke Into the air from any power or heating plant, for it is pos sible to install mechanical stoking devices which will feed the fires so scientifically that even with soft coal or yemi-bitumlnous coal the combuslon will be complete. Many of the chief offenders have been the hotels of the city. The custom has grown up among them of burning refuse and waste collected during the day either at dusk or the first thing In the morning. The result has been that the bon-ton residential sections have often been visited by showers of soot and cinders. The board of health has asked the hotels to modi fy their methods and have In return received assurances that the pro prietors will stop the objectionable practice. Several of the large Fifttl avenue hotels on learning of the com. plaints adopted the suggestion of the health department that rubbish be dispaed of in other ways. I'mler if resolution adopted by the board of education of this city, over 40.000 public school children, who stutter, stammer, lisp or have the "tic" defect in their speech are to be specially looked after with a view to giving them normal articulation. The plan adopted by the board Involves, first of all, giving to every teacher who has speech-defective scholars special medical Instruction aS to how to control and cure these defects. It Is likely that one or two terms of special Instruction, so arranged as not to Interfere with regular school at tendance, will be sufficient to divert the average boy or girl stammere, lisps, etc.. Into a child of normal speech who will face much brighter prospects of success In the world, than if the defect followed them in adult life. llesnlt, all that medical specialists and nurses could do, Dina, said toi have been the only gorilla In thls: country, died yesterday in the Bronx i "Zoo." Dlna was an exceedingly, rare species of ape found In the Jun-j gles of Africa by a special expedition j sent out by the New York Zoologic-. ni anrletv. which returned last Sep tember. She was very young, and the change of climate proved fatal to her. Last winter she caught a se vere cold and had been under medi cal treatment ever since. For a long time she took milk from a nursing bottle, but a month ago she began to( refuse food. Nothing could be found! that tempted her appetite so at last forcible feeding was tried, but shej rejected the food. Dlna gradually suffered a decline and died from lack, of nourishment.

The Belgian government has published a second gray book containing documents re lating to the war, notably a commun ication from Baron Guillaume, Bel gian minister of foreign affairs, dat ed February 22, 1913, apparently con. tradictlng documents recently pub lished by the Germans alleged to have been written by Baron Guil laume. Explaining to M. De Bargerie, of the French foreign office, the mean ing of the Belgian military law. M. Guillaume writes that he said: "We wish to avoid if possible hav ing Belgium again become, as she too often has been, the battlefield of Europe, . . President Polncaire has assured me France would never take the Initiative to violate our neu trality Our aim is sole ly to prevent to the limit of our for ces the violations of our neutrality." The second part of the gray book consists of protests addressed by the Belgian government to the Austrian and German governments against al leged violations of the law of war and The Hague convention. (Chief Kohl or Tries Again. CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 10. Fred Kohler, ousted Cleveland police chief of nationwide fame, has started his third campaign to "come back."

FURNISHING HOME THE DY usage August has become the month for furniture buy ing and home furnishing. It is customary at this season for manufacturers and dealers to encourage trade by favorable prices. Furniture is probably more heavily advertised in August than in any other month of the year. And this same advertising has transformed a very dull month to a very busy one. If you are thinking of buying goods for the home this is the right season to consult the adv ertisng columns of The East Oregonian. a
