Hmrnrtl, tho vttrnn civil engineer swears that never again will ho equip n stranded Tsurvuyor with the tools of his profession in order that ho may go out and gather in n few shekels. Tho why and whorcforo of this res olution of Mr. Howard's lies in tho experience ho had this week. Mon day morning there appeared heforo him n bedraggled specimen of hu manity with empty pockets and stom ach, who asked assistance on tho ground that ho was n civil engineer! out of a job. Mr. Howard is of tho I old pioneer stock, whoso hearts nnd more than that whoso purses are over open to tho cry of need, and he forth villi furnished tho indigent civil en gineer with the necessary funds to properly subdue tho cravings of tho inSicr man. In a short time the fel low returned nnd informed his bene factor that he had secured the job of "running somo lines for n farmer oiit in the country, if I just had an instrument to do it rith." J. S. had an extra set nnd, moved by tha "man's evident need, loaned him the instruments, thinking ho was helping him to get on his feet. That wns Monday. Tuesday came, then Wed- nf!"day, and still tho instruments wero not returned. Wednesdny eve ning Chief Shearer wns notified nnd commenced to get busy. Hb found that the instruments had been check- j cd out from Medford to Grants Pass ' Monday evening. Communication ' with Grants Pns finally elicited the information th"' the instruments hnd "been sold to Mike Brady of Waldo. nd that the erstwhile down-and-out j surveyor bad loft Grants Pass on n northbound train Tuesday, arrayed ' watch among tho things thnt wore T)iit are not. "I have helped out a srood many people in the snrr" v is T''d thN follow," said Mr. Howard, "nrd "ur before has my confidence been abused. I have not lost rav faith in human nature yet, hut it has been temporarily mislnid, and tho next busted surveyor must show sorapthing beside talk." Tho fellow is described as beinp about 50 yenrs of ago, slight build, with light moustache. Ho gave no name to Mr. Howard, nor havo the police been able' to secure his name.
