TINY TREE PRODUCES FULL SIZED ORANGE Golden Fruit Raised In Cozy Hotel Slx-Ywir-Old Lcjuon Trco AIm Covered with lllossoias. (From Tuesday's Daily.) A tiny orange tree, literally cov ered with blossoms and bearing n mature fruit fully two and one-half Inches In diameter, with a number of green oranges, is a novolty in fruit trees for this climate raised by Mrs. Stevenson, proprietor of tho Cozy hotel. Tho tree has been In her pos session in Bend for the past six years, and bloomed this year for tho first time. Mrs. Stevenson accounts for the large size of the orange by the fact that all other fruit on the tree has been removed before it at tained any size. A lemon tree, also six years old, is blooming for the first time at tho hotel, but has no fruit as yet. STRIKING PHOTOGRAPH OF MOUNTAIN'S MADE (From Saturday's Dally.) In connection with a plan to obtain good photographs of tho leading scenic features of this section, Myron II. Symons has Just finished a strik ing photograph of the Threo Sisters taken from a point near the Tumalo project. The three peaks stand out clearly against the sky background with enough of tho foreground in view to show the heavily wooded character of the country leading to the mountains. Another picture for the series recently completed by Mr. Symons Is of Tumalo falls. FOUR GIRL BABIES BEND'S VALENTINES u (From Saturday's Daily.' Four valentines In tho shape of brand new girl babies, varying in weight from Ave to. 10 pounds, ar rived at four Bend homes yesterday. Mr, and Mrs. William Robinson of Kenwood, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Win ters of Park addition, Mr. and Mrs. Halley Kutch of Park addition and Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Rhodes of Lytie are tho parents. I left tho wheel and' ran to tho end of tho bridge, to Jump overboard. But tho mlnuto I let go of the wheel tho vessel fell off of tho course, and they noticed It, and BadcwlU sent live of them up on tho bridge and threo others to tho sldo with their revolvers to shoot mo It I should reach tho wa ter. I think If I had bad any ropo to lash tho wheel with I could have got away and they would not have known It When tho flvo sailors reached tho brldgo ono of them Jumped for tho cord and gavo our siren five long blasts In answer to tho tug. Tho tug wns about to launch n torpedo, nnd wo whistled Just lu time. Ono of our men was looking from tho flddley, nnd ho saw tho Huns making for the life boats, so ho got two or threo others and they nil yelled together, "Don't let them get nwuyl" thinking that they would get tho boat over nnd leavo the ship, and. trying, to yell loud enough for tho tug to hear them. Badewltz took this man nnd two or threo others, whether they were tho ones who yelled or not, and beat them up nnd put thera In irons. I thought thero was going to bo n mutiny aboard, but It did not como off, and I am not sure what tho Huns wcro so excited about Tho other four Bailors who ennio up on the brldgo did not touch me, but Just kept me covered with their re volvers. That was tho way with them they would not touch us unless Badewltz was thero or they had bayo nets. The old bull himself camo up on the brldgo after ho had beaten up a xew men, uirew me around quite a bit and kicked me down from tho brldgo and slammed mo Into tho coal bunkers. I felt pretty sore, ns you can lmaglue, nnd disappointed and pretty low generally. After n while wo heard tho anchor chains rattling through on their way to get wet, nnd we pulled up. Then every German ship In tho Baltic camo up to look us over, I guess. They opened up tho hatch covers, and the Hun garbles nnd gold-stripes came aboard and looked down at us, and spit all they could on us, and called us all Uio different kinds of swine In creation. They had them lined up and filing pust tho hatchways all of them giving us the once over In turn. Maybe tlicy sold tickets for this dhow It would be like tho Huns. At first wo were milling around try ing to get out from under the hatch openings and the shower of spit, but somo Limey olilcer sang out. "Brit ishers all I Don't glvo wnyl" nnd we stood still nnd let Mien, spit their damned German lutu;s out beforo we would movo for them, und somo Cor nlshmen began singing their fcong about Trclawney. So "wo made out that we did not know such a thing as a German ever lived. We got better acquainted with Ger man spitting later on, and believe me, they nro great llttlo spltters, not much on distance or accuracy, but quick In action and well supplied with ammu nition. Spitting on prisoners is the favorite Indoor and outdoor sport for Germans, men and women alike. When tho show was over, they li over Uio Hide wltli a lopoto "U.'jlIiu two of them got down Into tho water nil right, but Joyce let out n yell be cause tho wntor was so cold, and n German patrol boat heard him ami Unshed n searchlight. They picked up Joyce right nwny, but Barney whs making good hendwny nnd was almost free when they drugged him In. They bent them up ou tho patrol boat, nnd when they put them buck on tho Ynrrowdnlo Baduwtts bent them up somo more ami put them lu Irons. Then he begun to shoot nt their foot with his revolver, nnd ho had a sailor stand by to hand htm another revol ver when the first ono was empty. Then ho would gnsh their faces with tho barrel of tho revolver nnd shout, "I'm Dadowlts. I'm tho man' who fooled tho English," und shoot nt them somo more. All tho while tho sailors wcro cele brating, drinking and eating, and yell ing, ns usual, nnd tho whistles on nil the German ships were blowing, nnd they were having a great fest. After about thirty hours wo loft, being es corted by a mine-layer and a mine sweeper. I asked n German gnrby If that was the whole German navy, uud ho looked surprised and did not know I was kidding him, nnd said no. Then I wild, "So tho English got nil tho rest. did they?" and ho handed mo ono In tho mouth with his bayonet hilt, so I quit kidding him. We saw rows and rows of mine.", nnd tho German sailors pointed out what they said were II. M. SS. Lion and JJonind, but I do not know wheth er they wero tho same ones that were In tho Jutland battlo or not Finally wo landed at Swlncmundo Just ns tho bells wero ringing the old year out nnd tho new year In. Wo wero n flno bunch of blackbirds to hand the knlscr for a New Year's present, believe me. They mustered us up ou deck, nnd each of us got a cup of water for our terrible" punWuneiifT we prisoner!! were mustered on dock, counted, kicked onto tugs and transferred to the west bank, where the mob wan walling for un. My wounds, an you enn Imagine, wero In a pretty bad liJ-Uwu.i.' .J - : ' ' if m rousted us up on deck end put ua to work throwing tho salt pork and can ned goods Into two German mine-layers. While we were nt It, a Danish patrol boat came out and tied along side us, and somo of her officers caine aboard and caw us. They knew wo wero prisonors-of-wnr, and they knew that a vessel carrying prlsoners-of- I war must not remain In neutral wa ters for over twenty-four hours, but they did not say anything about It That night two men named Barney nill and Joyce, tho latter a gunner from tho Mount Temple, sneaked up on deck and aft to tho poop deck. There was a pair of wooden stairs leading to tho top of the poop deck, apd Joyce jind IIHI lifted it ajjd got A Cup of Water for Our New year's Dinner. New Year's spree. Then wo saw wo wcro In for it, and all hope gone, but we were glad to be released from our hole, becnuso we had been prisoners slnco December 10 three days on tho Moewe nnd eighteen on tho Yarrow dale and the coal was not any softer than when we first sat on it. So wo began singing, "Pack up your troubles In your eld kit bag nnd smile, boys, smile. What's tho uso of worry ing? It's never worth while," nnd so forth. They made us shut up, but not beforo wo naked ourselves If we wcro downhearted, nnd everybody yelled "Vol" And that Is how wo gavo our re gards to Swlncmunde. CHAPTER XVIII. "Pack Up Your Troubles." Wo arrived at Hwlnemunc, on the cast bank, and nftcr wo had had our drink of water and had been rousted back into tho bunkers, Badewltz went across to-the- west sldo In a launch with Joyco and Hill and a guurd of sailors. They wero to bo shot tho next morning, with somo others, at a public shooting-fest The rest of us wrapped ourselves In lumps of coal ns best we could nnd tried to sleep. In the morning crowds of Germans carno aboard, us and were turned loose on tho boxes In tho hold. It was a sight to see them rip off tho covers nnd gobble the salami and oth er stuff Miut wo carried. Tnbio man ners are not needed when thero is no table, I guess,, but If you had seen them, you would suy theso German's did not even have trough manners. I have seen hogs that wcro inoro finicky. Whllo they wero at It, hand to hand wltlL-tho chmv. i;tvtif- nnd rooolvlntr. BRICK vs. OTHER BUILDINGS ERICK BUILDINGS IN BEND VALUE ABOUT $500,000 FIRE LOSS IN FIVE YEARS NONE OTHER BUILDINGS VALUE ABOUT $2,000,000 FIRE LOSS IN FIVE YEARS OVER $100,000 gMcK?' BEND BRICK & LUMBER CO. stnto by this time, nnd wore getting more painful every minute, so that I found I wiih getting ugly, and anxious for, an argument. I know that If I stayed this way I wuuld probably Hover como out nllve, for thero is every chnnco you could wnnt to pick a quarrel while you nro n prisoner thnt will menu freedom for you hut only tho freedom of going west, which I was not anxious to try. When wo got near tho west bank, on the tug, wo could so thnt wo wcro up against n bnttlo with our arum tied. Over half tho crowd was women nnd children, I should say, nnd tho rent wero laborers and old civvies, and re serve soldiers, nnd roughnecks gen erally. Wo could see the spit experts tho spit snipers, deployed to tho front, almost. Ab wo went nshore, tho bomlmrd ment began, nnd wo wero not only under lire of spit, If you could cnll It that, but also of rocks nnd bottles nnd sticks nnd most anything that could bo thrown. All this time, "lest you forget," wo hnd no shoes, and no clothing only what had once been our underwear. It Is nil right to bo n Coney Inlnnd snowbird and peso around In your bathing suit In the drifts, because you nro In good condition, nnd Inst but not least, becnuso you do not have to do It. Figure out the other sldo of It for yourself. They marched us. Into n Held whero thero was nothing much but guns nnd ammunition nnd snow, and set us up In something. llko skirmish formation. Wo stood thero for some time, nnd then we snw n lot of Huns with tho new long rlllcs coming toward us, yelling Just ns they did In battle, nnd wo thought suro wo went being used for practice targets. It Is n good thing they halted and stopped "yelling when they did, or wo would have Marled for them to fight It out, for wo were not the kind flint likes to. bo butchered with' hand In tho nlr, and we would have been glnd for n chnnco to get a few of them before they got us. But they did halt, and then sur rounded li., nnd drilled un away throuKh swamps nnd woods nnd shal low water or slush. Tho women foN lowed, too, and there were plenty of bricks nnd spit left. Women us well ns men are tho name tho world over, they soy. 1 wonder? You can Just picture tho women of, say, Rockland, Me., following a crowd of German prisoners that way, can't you? Not I But of courso tho women of Rockland are pretty crude no ktiltur nt nil and Gott never commissioned Presi dent Wilson to take tho lid oil tho Btrafo pot for him. They drilled us along tho docks, and it looked ns though tho wholo German navy was tied up at Swlncmundo. Wo saw many of the ships wo had heard about, among them being tho famous Vulcan, the mother-ship for submarines. There wero many sail ors loafing along tho docks, nnd they gave the women n hnm, with their days' work. They were no better with n brick, but they hnd more ammunition when It camo to spitting. One of them tripped n young boy by tho name of Kelly, nnd ns you would never doubt, Kelly picked up n rock and crashed tho sailor with It He was then bay oneted twlco In the left leg. Wo be gan singing then, our popular favorite, "Pack up your troubles," etc., and when they heard us, how tho swlno stnrcd I Then they drilled us pnst tho Ger man soldiers' quarters. Tho men wcro nt rlflo practice, and I guess nil of us thought how handy wo would bo as targets. But when we got near them, they quit practicing nnd crowded j around us yelling: "'Rous I Zuruckl" Finally wo got to Mho top of tho hill, and wcro halted near tho bar racks whllo an officer read tho mnr tlal law of Germany to us. At least we thought mayho that was It Finally they let us Into tho bar racks, nnd tho first thing we saw wan a great pile of hay. That looked good to us, and we mado a rush and dived Into It But tho Huns told un to tako the hay nnd throw It in tho middle of tho road. They hnd to uso force be foro wo would do It Finally we gavo In, however, and started to carry It out Some of the young boys were crying, und I do uot blame them much. But one of the boys tried to hide some of tho hay behind a box and was caught doing it, and two sentries clouted him from ono end of tho bar racks to tho other, ills noso was broken and. his face mashed to n Jelly. But thero was nothing wo could do, so wo Just wandered up and down tho barracks, ubout as wo did between decks on tho Moowo, trying to keep warm. Whllo this marathon was on wo heard u whlsilu blown very loudly, und when we looked out wo Hnw a wagon plied up with old tin cans. Then we wcro told to form single file, walk out to tho wagon rind encii get a can for lilniHClf. Each man had to take the first can he laid his hands on, und many of us got rusty ones with holes In them. So that about half nn hour later, when wo received Imrloy coffee, and nil wo had to drink It from was the cans, lots of tho men hnd to drink theirs almost In one gulp or lose half of It. Tho barracks wero very dirty and smelted horribly, and' tho men wero still not even half clothed. We all looked filthy und smelted thnt way, und where tho coal dust hnd rubbed off, wo wero very pule, And all of us were starved looking. AbiUlt. cJcvfip o'clock thu$ morning thu wlilsttu blow ngnln, nnd wo ennto out nnd wero given nn ntumlnum spoon nnd n dish apiece. Then we cheered up nnd saw corned bbef nnd cnbbngo for ourselves. An hour Inter they drilled m through tho biiow to tho kuclip. When wo got tlinro wo stood In linn until at least half-past twelve, nnd then tho (lernmtm shout cd: "NIchtH xii osKcii." But wo did not know what that meant, so wo Just hung around thero and walled. Then they started shouting, "Zuruckl y.u ruck I" and drove un back to thu bar racks. Later wo heard tho words "nlchtH cu e-.ionl" no often thnt wo thought probably they meant "no eatH." Wo hnd our reasons for thinking so, too. Thoso words, and "xuruck" nnd "rous," wcro prnctlcnlly nil wo did hear, except, of course, various kluds of jichwclnhutulo. (To Be Continued.)
