Fifty-four years ago when the uni verse rang with the fame of the mines of California anil southern Oregon and when adventurous spir its flocked from every quarter of the glohe to the mountainous regions of the western slope, there were those with a larger share of the an imal in their natures and. when this new life was suddenly thrust upon them, they gave rein to their pas faions and ran rampant in career.-, of dissipation, violence and bloodshed. Tom Ryan was a product of these semi-lawless times.' He lived at Alt house In 1 858. When Tom laid down the pick and shovel he came to Browntown cn Sunday and partook of a few drinks of fightln.g whiskey. He always had suspended from his belt a largo, white handled howie knife and a revolver, and with this liquor- rising in his brain, he would pick up a rock in one hand, anil holding his huge knife in the other, would whoop like an Apaene Indian In the streets of Prountoui:. Ryan once pionired a (dub in which lie placed -1" nails driven crosswise, and armed with this old weapon went to Waldo to chu-uise a big fist tighter there. The fighter fled up a stairway on the outside of a building with Ran in hot pursuit. Fistiana's hero jumped from the head of the stairway to th- ground beneath, a distati' of s-vvt nil feet . and was almost killed.

Maxwell's hand was badly burned from grasping the hot lid, Ryan was knocked down by the force of the blow nnd was car ried by the miners Into a house near ! by and 14 stitches were taken In his face. This combat seemed to have brok en Ryan's spirit; he was afterwards challenged to mortal combat by Max well, but declined to meet his con (inerer in a fight to death. Soon af ter this defeat, Ryan left Althouse and went up north where he engaged in peddling goods, going up and down on a boat from l'ortland to The Italics on the Columbia. Hut the devil was in hi in and had to come out. lie went on one of his old- time sprees at The Halles and drove all the men out of a saloon with his : big howie knife.

A house tll filled with applaud iug friends greeted the lroJuctiou of that merry farce-couiedy. "Charley s Aunt," at the opera house Friday j night, when Kual talent, aided and I drilled by W. K. Giuliani, presouted that niirth-provoker under the aus ; pi.es of the Indies' Auxiliary, the I play being interspersed with songs land dances added to the origiual lines. I The cast of the plav had beeu i brought together and directed in Its work iu but a few days, aud vihile this liastv was made noticeable in a few minor Instances, the production as a whole was highly pleasing, and credit is due to each Individual who appeared upon the stage. The audi ence was liberal in its applause, and the continuous laughter proved that the humor of "Charley's Aunt" is Just as effective as it was the first time this Brandon Thomas success was staged. "Charley's Aunt," about whom the plot and the tun of the play are constructed, w as represented to th j entire satisfaction of tho audience, and to his own histrionic fame, by Hugh Herrlck, while "Charley" him self was present in the person of Mel Allen. "Jack Chesney," the partner of "Charley" In the esca pades of the two college room-mates, was played by Russell Drake. "Stephen Spettlgue," good for a laugh on his every entranre, was Paul Kinney, and Mr. Ctraham play ed the part of "Colonel Francis Chesney" like the veteran that he Is. The other male character, that of the College Scout, was played ar tistically and capably by Mrs. Lloyd I Her. From the beauty and the grace of the young ladles who appeared In the (ast It is not to be wondered at that all were happily betrothed before, the curtain fell on the last act. "Amy" and "Kitty," upon whom the two college chums lavished their thesplan affections, nro in every day life the Misses Fanchon Shlnn nnd LaCosta Mangum. Tho real aunt, "Donna Lucia," from ltra.ll "where the nuts come from," was Miss (ien evleve i'attillo, and her ward, "Flla lielehey," wis Miss Lydia White. New laurels were won by tho Misses Mangum, I'attillo and White, in the solos, their sweet voices and gracious presence always being a de light to n ('.rants l'ass audience. A chorus of If. young ladles sang and danced Itself Into the hearts of the audience, aud the Misses Ruth llirchard and Ileulah Williams danced a Spanish fandango to the enormous delight of all. The chorus was composed of the Misses' Violet (ietno, Kdna Cornell, Alma Wolke, Florence Smith, Mil dred Churchill, Kthel Letcher, Fath er I.allrie, Allelic Dunbar, lilamhe Wile. Nan Smith, Minnie Reamers, Ruth llirchard. IVaii Dyer. Ruth Smith.

Nov. 3. Importance of the growing of cover crops In orchards is emphasized in a recent bulletin on orchard irrigation Issued by the Oregon Agricultural College. "Cover crops add humus and fibre to the soil," says the bulletin. "The fibre adds to the moisture-holding capacity of the light soils and makes the heavier types more friable, and more easily handled. Any soli of high clay or silt content and low In organic matter is not only difficult to handle with respect to cultivation, hut also as to irrigation. "This typo of soil takes up water very slowly. Percolation Is so slow that a large number of furrows are necessary If a sufficient amount of water Is to be supplied. Thus a great er surface for evaporation Is exposed, and such soils bake and crack badly on drying out. A good cover, crop, either natural or bowii. If plowed un der early in the spring, will aid greatly In overcoming these difficul ties." In experiments It was noticed that when there had been a late Irrigation a good natural cover grew up, 'of chlckweed, alfalfa nnd varloiu grasses. In one orchard cover crops of vetch and rye and of barley, sown early In September after lato irri gations, started readily and mado fine growth. An early rover crop of this nature not only adds its own fibre to the soil, but prevents the leaves from blowing away, thus keep ing them where they will bo of bene fit. Those cover crops which get a good start early In the fall make the best kind of protection for the soil during tho winter. dk.( m:t ;i:ts to ALI.lit.l D jmw.i;i:s.
