The stuff taken was principally
clothing nud shoes, including cigar

tablishment and the best shoes were
looked over and dcsirablo sizes
taken.
The sizes of shoes taken ran from
T to 9. Several pairs of dress shoes
and almost an equal number of
"high tops" nro recorded among the
missing.
Iu tho matter of undenvear tastes
varied, as somo of the Rang ran to
tho union suit, while othors liked tho
"two-piece" or the coat cut.
Tho cntrnnco was gained through
a window and Mr. Jacoby was un
aware of his loss until Saturdny
morning.
ASH MAN CLAIMS
THE BEST PEAR TREE
Harrimau lines, before leaving
land, says tho Orcgonian.
"Wo shall probably build the
road," said Judge Lovctt, "but I
cannot say when. I havo authorized
a new investigation of tho country
which is not yet completed. The
question of route is not yet decided."
Tho Southern Pacific several
years ago began tho building of a
branch liuo from Drain to Coos Bay,
but after considerable work had
been done suspended operations.
Judge Lovott was also asked about
the significance of tho trip of Mr.
O'Brien nud Mr. Miller from Grants
Pass to Eureka by automobile a few
weeks ago, but referred the ques
tioner to Mr. O'Brien. Tho latter
has heretofore declined to admit that
there is a probability of railroad
construction southwesterly into tho
Eureka district.

BRISTOW STILL
AFTER ALDRICH
Kansas Senator Pleased Because He
Has Forced Aldrich to Defensive
Says He Is Not Yet Throuqh
With Him.
MILWAUKKK, Wis., Aug. 13.
That Senator Brlstow of Kansas will
inako further attacks on Senator Al
drich has been tntlmated to politi
cians hero. It Is bollevod that Drls
tow will go Into tho lead and ore
charges In connection with the In
ternational Rubber company. In his
speech Inst night, In which ho replied
to the donlal entered by Senator Al
drich of tho charges that tho tariff
schedules had been so arranged that
the rubber company, of which Al
drich is a stockholder, had not prof
ited by tho changes, ho declared ho
regretted that tho lead charges had
been neglected In Aldrlch's reply.
Brlstow evidently was not displeas
ed thnt ho had forced Aldrich into
tho defensive.

Quake Recorded.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 13.
That a terrific seismic upheaval, !
probably followed by a tidal wave
occurred In(tho West Indies today is
inuicatea uy tho seismograph at
Georgetown university. Tho needle
of the instrument recorded a shock
of great intensity beginning at 8:02
a. m. and continuing with varying
force until 8:25, tho maximum being
reached at 8:15.
Obsorver Lorndorf states that tho
shock is of extraordinary severity.
Ho places Its location as in or about
tho island groups of tho Antilles,
and expresses fear for their safety.
Ex-Senator C. W. Fulton and Mrs.
Fulton, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Boie,
Mr. nnd Mrs. Runyon formed an au
tomobile party which arrived here
Thursday, and Friday afternoon
left for Crater Lake. They expect
to return by way of Klamath Falls
and Ashland.
"Like the pilgrims in 'Innocents
Abroad,' we are traveling as Ameri
enn citizens as unostentatiously as
becomes our unofficinl state," said
Senator Fulton. "In fact, we uie
out to have a good time, and we aie
realizing our expectations. You n.k
about the roads between hero and
Portlnnd. There is something to be
desinll, of course, but I was more
than surprised pleasurcnbly no,
also at the number of miles of
'good' road built during the past
year or two which wo found along
the line. Every countj wc passed
through from Clatsop to Jackson
presented evidences of rond im
provement. The Crater Lake road
would have been a good thing, iu my
opinion, but I cannot criticise the
action of the supreme court, which
is bound down by tho 3x9 constitu
tion of the state. Personally, I
would favor any appropriation for
the building of roads iu the state,
but the matter having been founorly
decided in tho Tillamook case, there
was nothing to do by tho supremo
court except give a decision in con
sonance. However, I am inclined to
believe that if the question was sub
mitted to a vote it would carry
unnnimouslv."
Only four "declarations of iuten
