After Spending1 Night
With Friends Here.
Br. Hubert Work, secretary of
tho Interior in the cabinet of Presi
dent Coolidge, was puzzled today
when he Inspected the Salem In
dian training school at Chemawa.
It was In the kitchen of the do
mestic science department. On a

ber's brow wrinkled as he studied
tho written Instructions.
"What does B. P. stand for?"
ho asked the instructor.
"Baking powder," answered the
teacher.

Some folks In theso parts are
afraid Secretary Work's Ideas arc
eastern. But his conversation and
his drawl are decidedly western,
He conies from Colorndo. In an
easy, winning way ho questioned
Instructors and students as he pass
ed through the buildings.
"You have those scissors upside
down," he srid to nn Indian maid
en from Montana, who was cutting
out pieces ror a garment In the do
mcstlc arts department,
"Whore you from?" he asked an
other.
"California," the girl replied.
"Do you wa n t to go ba c k
there."
"I surely do."
Jokes With Students
"That's funny," the secretary
paid. "I don't see why you want to
go back to California r.hcn you can
tay here.
"Where arc you from?" Dr.
Work nked an instructor in an

YEGGS ATTEMPT
TO BLOW SAFE IN
BLODGETT STORE
Dallas, Or., Jlly 8. Five men
who attempted to blow the safe
at Thompson u general store at
Blodgett on the Corvallis-Newport
highway wtre frightened aw-jy
before their job was completed
about 3 o clock this mormn-;.
They had removed the outer door
of the store safe and were raady
to blow ofi the inner door when
the Eudden whirring of a sm.iil
electric motor in the store base
ment scared them into instant de
parture. .
The Thompsons have a small
electric lighting system for the
store and uieir nouse nearby ttnJ
when one of the members of the
household got up and turned on a
light the ni'jtor In the store was
luiomaticaliy slerlcu.
The would-be robbers fled Jn
two curs down tlio Kings valley
highway into Dallas which loins
th0 CorvaHis-Newport highway it
Blodgett. Sheriff Hooker was
notified at orce and he raced dovn
the road as far as Lewis-vine but
neountered no one. It Is thought
that they turned off on some side
road. Their evasion of their P'ir-
suers has led to the general con
clusion that they far well -ac
quainted with the geography ct
the district. Tre only loot win
they secured v.us a new rife
taken from the store.
Blodgett is in Benton county.
There is a postolficc safe In thi
