In plain legal language, It was
the beginning of tlio casu of Gus E.

Mackintosh and L. E. Smith. Judge
Uarncs was served with a copy of

county, whllo servlco on Mr. Mac
kintosh and Mr. Smith was made
through tholr attorneys, II. II. De
Armond and Vernon A. Forbes.
jTho Deschutes court has had an
inulng that something of the kind
was in tho wind for several days
past, and gavo District Attorney Do
Arniond authority to employ what
ever additional counsel ho might see
fit. In addition to Mr. Forbes, It
is intimated that outsldo legal tal
ent may bo retained beforo tho caso
is finished. Tho two I! end attor
neys worked on tho matter tintjl af
ter midnight, and this morning had
lrclded to make a formal appear
unco in court, nlthough no dcllulto
c inclusions had been reached as to
tho exact lino of defense. They
stilted that they will tight tho case

J)lg to build a court house und Jail,
jy furnlturo and levy taxes.
It Is further alleged that at tho

i l Is based, C5 per cent of tho vot-
s In tho proposed Dosohutos toun
t' did not vote In favor of tho now
unty, nnd that 36 per cent of tho

JOO Illegal votes woro cost In favor
of Deschutes county, that 1S29
ites woro cast for, and 996 against,
In tho proposed county, with 630
for, and 995 ngolnst, In Crook coun
ty proper. Judgment that tho Des
i'utes county government bo do
tlared an unlawful usurpation, Is
asked, togother with tho ousting of
the county court.
Undeterred by tho Question as to

PAPER IN THE MAKING.
Wood Pulp It the Basis of Moat of th.
Modern Product.
Two thousand jears ago paper was
made by hand In little cradles. Tho
word paper is derived from papyrus, a
plant from the leaves of which a pulp
was made by pounding and macerat
ing In water. Nowadays, of course.
Improved machinery Is used to mako
paper, and in this one Item of manu
facture America leads tho world.
Writing paper is made mostly from
rags, but for practically all other
grades wood pulp Is the basis. The
wood used Is spruce or poplar or hem
lock. Poplar Is used for tine book pa
pers and spruce pulp goes Into news
paper, wall paper and bag paper.
Tho fine wood pulp must, of course,
bo treated with a preparation contain
ing clay, dyes and other Ingredients
and called "stuff" before It finally be
comes paper. Hut by n careful process
of tilling In the open spaces .with clay
mid prcbslng through henvy steel rol
lers or manglers, the wood pulp takes
ou the appearance and texture of pa
per. As tho product comes from tho pa
per machine It Is wound off on a reel,
making a large rolL A roll of news
paper will weigh almost n ton and Is
often handled by a derrick, snys tbo

Why Lions and Tigers Can Roar and

of purring, simply becauso tho hyolil

so that tho cat purs and cannot roar.
Rut hi tho lion and tiger tho liyold Is
loose, and therefore even when call

roars of tho Jaguar nnd leopard nre llko

Measuring a Snowfall.
Tbo snowfall on mountains is esti
mated in n number of ways. Ono
method is to measuro the height ac
cumulated on a board one meter fcquaro
supported one meter above tho ground,
and then sliding It Into a zinc tank for
determining tho water it makes on
melting. Another typo of Instrument
is n tube which Is pushed down
through tho snow, then closed at tho
bottom by a shovel to retain the con
tents of tbo tube on wltbdrawaL In
remote places, visited only at consld'
erable Intervals, tho snow Is collected
In a tank, only tho snow water for
a stated period being measured. Vase
line oil 'in the tank rovers the water,
preventing evaporation, and calcium
chloride hastens the melting of the
snow.
MOTION PICTURE ACTORS.
Coached In Emotional Expression by
Phonograph Music.
The lot of a movie star has Its hour
of trial and tribulation, as well as of
satisfaction. The sharp call of the di
rector to "regUter Joy" or "resistor
terror" or register any one of the thou
sanj and one human emotions which
aro displayed upon the Mm must be
obeyed, whatever the emotion which
happens to be uppermost In the actor's
mind nt the moment. It Is not easy
always to bnve naoti faolle command of
the face, as is demanded for Hit work,
either from tho camera artist or the
worker in the "legitimate." and for the
former it is perhaps eren bonier tuan
for the latter, since many of the ai-rea ,
sorJes which go to throw the actor on
the stage into, the spirit of his worn
aro absent In the studio. It cannot I ,
easy to rcjls'er lonpliis in be midst of f
s babel of directors and property men
and disengaged performers, with the
camera grinding away In front of one
and a half doren strange "sets" being
noisily erected on nil sides.
To assist the actor In this thankless
task tho phonograph has been called
Into play. Picture the sweet country
maid dreaming of her lover In a fnroff
land. The director tells her to lqok
wistful, lonclng. melancholy or what
vou will. He gives the command "Gd!"
which Is tho signal for action, the
talking machlno is started, nnd the
strains of "I Hear You Cnlllng Mo"
are heard. A sympathetic note 1
struck In the heart of the actress, her
fnclal expression Is Indicative of the
effect of tbo music, und the proper
mooj Is cnlled forth.
"Wo know how much music cu
hances the effect of the motion picture
as presented in the theater." says the
director responsible for this innova
tion. "The nudleiu'c does not often re
nllze tho linportnnce of the musical
accompaniment, but omit the music
and they will feel the dlfferenco In a
moment" Philadelphia Press.
MUSICAL MOUNTAINS.
Singing Cliffs In tho Pyrenees
and
Roaring Sands In Hawaii.
In certain parts of tho world are
mountains nnd hilts which nro said by
the natives t slug. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re
sembllng tho strains of a harp. Two
other.clltTs In the smile chain nre called
the "suorers." When tho wind Is In
tho southwest they send forth n pe
culiar sound not altogether musical
The faces of theso cliffs aro marked by
deep gullies, open In front, which mny
be compared to tho pipes of nu organ.
At certain times n stratum of air, held
between tho cliffs und bordering trees,
closes tho openings whllo tho wind
blows freely between through tun gill
Ites, or organ pipes, behind; henco the
music Hint Is beard.
At tho confiueiicu of the Orinoco nnd
tho ltlo Mctn nro granite cliffs which
sing nt sunrise. Humboldt refers to
the phenomenon ns the musical stones
of the Orinoco. The liiusle is caused by
tho rush of tho expanding air through
llssures partly closed by mica.
Many moro examples may bo cited to
show that nature makes uso of prin
ciples which have been adopted by
man in tho creation of musical sounds.
Nor are the musical Rounds of iinturc
confined to rocks, mountains and hills,
for In Hawaii Is n sand bank fifty feet
high which, vvlion Jho hand is moved
about In the loose sand, produces a
sound llko that of n mclodeon. It Is
said that If the observer slides down
tho bank on his bnck, dragging both
bands In the s.iud, tho sound becomes
as loud as faint thunder.
SLIDING TO DEATH.
A Perilous Mountain Incident and a
Lucky Eecape.
An American who lives In China
mado the ascent of tho sacred moun
tain, Sliiooutnlshaii, u jenr or two
slii'-e, ,nml made, or at least began to
make, tho descent In a much mure un
premeditated manner.
Ho had tenched an altitude of over
0.000 feet nnd, liming lost tbo trail,
branched off and climbed a lower peak
to see whether ho could discover the
right track. Ho mnnaged to crawl to
the top, nnd since tho low was very
flno ho opened his paint box to make u
sketch.
As ho wns sorting lilt brushos the
stono ou which he wns Mtlhig gave
way, and ho started sliding down tho
almost perpendicular slope. Ho tried
to clutch tho ground with his hand,
no seized every projecting stono In
tbo hopo of stopping his precipitous de
scent, but at tho sliced at which ho
was going thnt was no easy mutter.
Death Btnred him In tho face, for
another 100 yards would bring him to
tho edge of n preclpleo severul hun
dred feet high, over which ho must in
evitably go. Ills hulr stood on end ns
bo approached tho spot, nnd ho enn
well remember tho sound of his heavy
P'llnt box clanging from rock to rock
as It accompanied him In his descent.
A violent shock, which nearlv tore
bis body In two mado 1)1 m think ho
bud gone oier; but, no ho had sudden
ly stopped.
Ho opened his eyes, htif. bo did not
dare mote, for bis position, nlthough
much Improved, was far from safe.
Ills coat and strong leather strap that
wns slung under bis arm had caught
on a projecting stone, but a single false
movement on bis part would start him
sliding down the Mope again.
Slowly, carefully, as be lay on tho
almost perpendicular slope, he tried
to ,jet a footing. When be had suc
ceeded in doing that the great dim
culty was to turn rouud. After several
anxious moments, each of which seem
ed ages long, he succeeded, and there
he was. half kneeling, liilf lying, with
bis body on the ground, clutching the
rock that saved him.
Then, when his agitation passed
awny. be managed to crawl up, cut
fashion, to n Mitloii of safety.
Old Time Oratory Unpopular.

of public spea.'ng cnlled "oratory" is

An Indiscreet Envoy Who Paid Dea-ly
For His Loose Tonguo. i
in n history of the Turks, Chalcouey. I

At tint tlmo there was nt tho court
of Athens an ambassador of tbo king
of France, who set out In a galley to
visit the chiefs of the fleet. The adml.
rnl confided to him thnt ho had been
ordered to take Constantinople by sur
prise. Tho ambassador spoke of the diffi
culties and dnugers of this passnge, as
It was between two banks from which
bnlllstne could hurl upon tho cssols
enormous stones, boiling oil and, above
nil Greek fire.
The ndnilml revealed to htm that the
governors of tho forts would make lit
tlo resistance, as they bad been brib
ed. Tho ambassador was so pleased
that as soon ns he had returned to land
ho bad great trouble to bold bis tonguo.
Ho wns beard to prophesy In myste
rious words that the famous passnge
would soon bo fo'recd.
As there wcro Rples on nil sides tbo
