Winchell of 354 life the Marguerite avenue lost his own Sunday in the north fork of Washougal river back of Cape Horn, Where he and his family had motored for a day's outing. 1 Miss Winchell had been swimming in the shallower portions of the river, and her father, watching nearby, had warned her against going too near a deep pool, through which sweeps a turbulent current.

She climbed upon a raft of ties near the Goodseli Logging company's place at the edge of the and fell from It into the pool. Leaping into the water, the father was caught by the current and was lost before he could seize the girl. The bodies were subsequently recovered with grappling hooks by farmers, who said they would never have thrown away their own lives in attempting to swim the eddy. The bodies were taken to Camas. Winchell was a salesman for Lang Co.

of Portland, and had been emplyed there for 12 years. Miss Winchell was spending the isum-mer in Portland before going East to take a position as Instructor of bacteriology In Johns Hopkins university.

I Jobbers in Truck Steal Four Tons Of Sacked Wheat Lelsyvllle, Aug.

11. Motor truck robbers stole four tons of sacked wheat from a field of the Washington county ranch of Milne brothers. The grain had been piled about half 'a mile from the ranch house, where it was left when the threshers had completed work in the field. It is believed the robbers made two trips for the grain, as few trucks could handle a four-ton load on the rough dirt roads over which the wheat was hauled. Farmers are leaving dogs on guard about their grain piles.

Farms in the vicinity are large, giving excellent opportunity for thefts. The wheat! taken was valued at more than $320. In days gone by a gang of thieves operated in this district, stealing, grain in bulk from bins and selling It in Portland. Tokio Compositors Demand $35 Month Tokio, Aug, 10. (Delayed.)

When Lansing made these statements; Senator Borah read a speech by Baifour in the house of commons during the war to the effect that "President Wilson is being kept fully informed by the allies" regarding agreements among themselves; Lansing said he did not know whether Ishii had deliberately concealed from him the fact of the secret treaty.

Chicago, Aug.

11. (U. The aurora borealis may inspire admiration in nature lovers, but it kills all the joy in a telegrapher's life. Wires all over the country today were laid out by "earth currents," attributed by wire workers to the electricity responsible for aurora's appearance. This electricity creeping onto tele-grapb.

wires neutralizes the legitimate current and plays queer pranks. Generally the trouble Is dissipated in an hour. Today the -condition hung on for hours, delaying press association and commercial transcontinental wires which frequently were interrupted for many minutes at a time. The aurora is. as one operator expressed it, "static and erratic." It comes without warning and leaves as suddenly.

What the explanation of it Is has never been thoroughly determined, but it apparently has something; to do with the passage of static electricity either about the earth longitudinally or radiating from the magnetic pole. It is generally strongest in colder and more northern sections of the. earth, for Illustration along the Canadian Pacific In Canada. It Is more evident in plains country than in that broken by mountain ranges. It has never been, sucess-fully fought by the telegraph or telephone companies.

The Canadian i Pacific overcame it somewhat by crossing and recrossing its parallel wires and by at intervals sending the wires for, miles at right angles to their general course. When it -first appears in a telegraph it generally starts the sounder to rattling like a tin waehboiler filled with glass falling down Very often it will come in and chatter' away, so far; as the novice can tell, just like an operator "writing." "I When the aurora comes the curators from chief 'on, down to the office boy who distributes the messages all take a layoff and patiently wait the departure of Che uninvited The aurora is not as complete a bog so far as monopolizing the wires is concerned. It will sometimes leave a circuit alone of anywhere from' several minutes to an hour or so, only to "butt" in with its chatter again. On a press wire this interval of cessation generally occurs during lunch hour, or when the wire is ordinarily "clear" and when it, would not be doing very anyhow. It butts in again Just as soon as some story of universal Importance Is just about to reach Its climax.

On the telephone it sets ip a' tag" that sounds like the telegraph, wires do on a cold frosty night, only it is louder.
