Mra. Higgles, betUr known aa
"Duster Taylor." especially in Port
land and around Salem, whera she
has been tor some time, was arrest
ed her last night by local officers.
"Buster" Is not what her name
Implies, being a rather small, slim
woman, with dark hair which la In
clined to be kinky, and eves that ar
dark and limpid enough to have suc
cessfully sent many a man In th
army service to the detention house
at Camp Lewis whera they are now
receiving treatment from I'ncle
Sam's beat fhyslclan In the hopes
of curlnx their loathsome dlsesse
so they will be fit to go to the front
But their cases seem hopeless, espe
cially for several months yet, for
"Buster" and others of her stripe
strike harder than German bullets
snd single handed are putting more
of our bora out of action than the
best Hun that ever headed an offen
sive or dropped poison In thk? water.
Rumor haa It that German aym
pathlxers ara hiring women of "Bus
ter's" character to go among the
American troops to help the cause
of Germany, but local officers and
the district attorney are doubtful of
this and attribute the matter to
merely Individual practice on the
part of the women.
There la another woman, now in
Granta Pass, who will be taken along
with "Buster" when Mr. Rogers or
one of her assistants from the de
tention home at Salem come to take
them' to that Instlutlon.
Both federal and local officers are
keeping an extra keen lookout for
women of "Buster's" class, and the
detention homes are said to be
crowded with them.
"Buster" seems to know Mrs.
Rogers snd doesn't like the Idea of
going to the detention home, pos
sibly because she has had some ex
perience there. She says she Is mar
ried and that her husband Is at
Salem.

Geo. B. Riddle, Mgr.
This afternoon at 1 o'clock the
small fruit drying plant belonging
to Mrs. J. B. Bolton, now of Arizona,
which is being 'operated by the
Rogue River Orchsrd company, was
destroyed by fire, together with 75
to 100 trays of drying pears. The
fire department was on hand but
nsed nly the chemical apparatus,
that only being necessary. The sul
phur house and other buildings were
saved by the prompt work of young
Elsworth Able and a garden hose.
The fire coming at this time Is a
serious loss to the Rogue River Or
chard company, which has a large
amount of ripe pears to dry and ex
pected to soon start In on prunes.

DRAFTED MEN LEAVE
FOR AMERICAN LAKE
E
Mining Men
Dr. A. N. Seldet and F. B. Garwl. k
ot Chicago, president and secretary
or the Del Norte Claim Holders as
sociation, who spent the past week
or more Investigating the properties
or the association and the ret n re
acquired Waldo properties, left list
night returning to Chicago. These
gentlemen are very much pleaded
with the properties and the progress
that has been made, and in a short
time they will have a full force of
men at work at the mining property
and on road work from Waldo to the
Del Norte group. They are also
much Interested In the development
and success of the entire district.
Another contingent of Josephine
county's draft men left last night for
Camp Lewls American 1-ake, for
military service. They were: Ivan
Howell. Marlon Darnellle, Pashor
Bishop, Harold Christie and George
Earl. Young. Going also with them
was John T. Jewell, of tbla city, who
was sent by the Sliver City, New
Mexico, board. Edmond Charles Kg
:er. of Waldo, In the Josephine
county draft, was inrltuted from
Marshfleld, and was expfcted to
leave that place last night.
On the train were drafted mm
from Jackson county and some Cal
ifornia men. The fellows In one car
displayed a big cloth slsn on which
was palled "This car filled with
Dutch Cleanser. Berlin or Bunt."
A fire alarm was turned In at
3:50 this afternoon, the dwelling of
; Mrs. Lucy Rader, at I and Third
streets having caught fire. The
firemen were prompt in arriving and
saved the house, the only room dam
aged being the kitchen, which was
scorched and badly smoked.
Jugt how the fire started Is a
; mystery, ag Mrs. Rader was not at '
home. Although she slept In th
house last night, she has been work
ing at the hospital for two weeks
and there was no stove In the house,
so she states not even electric wir
ing. . The blaze started on the In
side and It is presumed that mice
gnawing into some matches might
