To the Honorable the Oregon Delegation IN

We whose names are appended hereto,
chairman and secretary of a meeting of
the farmers of Eastern Oregon, and
representing The Eastern Oregon Co
operative association of the Patrons of
Husbandry Qimited) in the name and
behalf of said farmers of Eastern Oregon
would most respectfully memorabilia
you, our representatives at the national
capital as follows:
First. The experience of the present
season has amply demonstrated by i'm
mense piles of grain (the farmers coin)

railway that traverses this section.
awaiting shipment and virtually locking
up millions of dollars as we'll as for an
indefinite time depriving the farmer of
his hard earned scanty gains, that some
measure of immediate relief must be de-
vised or the science of agriculture will be-
come in the basin of the Columbia, one
of the lost arts.
Second. We believe that as a tenn
porary measure of relief by far the best
and cheapest solution of the problem is
a portage railway around the obstruc-
tions to navigation in the Columbia
between Dalles City and Cello known as
The Dalles of the Columbia. A bill for
a similar railway around the Cascades to
afford temporary relief at that point
appropriating $50, 900 of state funds has
already passed the state senate and ere
this memorial reaches you, will undoubt-

lower house and the signature of the
governor of this commonwealth, have
become law.
Third. AS Il permanent and final
measure, we unhesitatingly recommend
canal with locks at the point above
mentioned, (The Dalles of the Columbia)
firmly believing that no other method
is as cheap or as beneficial in the end
We have briefly set forth above, the
urgent needs of at least third of the
inhabitants of the great state which has
honored you by entrusting its interests
to your care. 1t is no common memorial
idly asking for some fancied toy, which
greets you, but rather the urgent in
sistent appeal of men who have
been your friends when needed,
and who now in turn appeal to you for
the absolutely necessary aid which COM
mon justice and sound public policy
dictate.

John Davis was famous turkey
hunter in Southwestern Ohio a few
wears ago. He caught hundreds of the
birds every year, aud was said to be
possessed Of quite handsome property
accumulated in this way. One Of his
iayorite methods of capturing his game
was by what he called a spring trap
This was a small log house, with a big
door which shut wish q spring, man
aged by the hunter.
A trail of corn was laid from the door
for a quarter of mile into the bushes.
The unsuspecting turkeys would follow
this track Of corn, aud march inside,
when presto! the door closed with a
snap, and they were caught.
One day Mr. Davis was tending the
door Of this spring trap, when, to his
delight, he saw twenty fine, large tur-
keys approaching. They came up to
the entrance. The first one ventured
in, then the second and the third, until
nineteen We're in the Lighthouse. The
twentieth bird fingered, aud Mr.. Davis
waited, loath to close the door without
him.

one was a fine fellow, and he couldn't
bear the thought Of losing him.
While he waited, ore of the turkeys
inside stuck his head out Of the door,
and then hoped outside.
Hell go back il minute, an the
other one with him. thought the hum
ter; but instead of that a second one
came ont, and while the hunter waited
for him to 60 inside another came
through the door. 1t would certainly
be too bad 10 spring the trap now, and
so Davis waited and every turkey but
one came out
Wal, I'll make sure o him. said
the hunter to himself, and he sprung
the door.

Is obodiont Even when asleep.

A little boy in HartweIl, Ga, aged 70
years, walks in his sleep frequently. In
the front yard Of his fathers house is q
large rosebush, and whenever lie walks
in his sleep, he gets up, takes q pillow
aud quilt or coyerlet off the bed and
carries them to the rosebuah aud spreads
them down underneath that. A few
nights ago the Little boy was lying on
his bed asleep, but the family had not
retired. While they were conversing
the boy got up aud pulled a covetIot
and pillow off the bed He walked out
OF the door and straight to the ro8ebush
whore he deposited the pillow and
coyerlet His mother called to him,
and told him to bring them back in the
house. He obeyed, and lay down on
the bed without ever awaking. He has
done this many times.

Hot Water Remedies.

Almost every family has q list Of
remedies to be used TOR certain dis.
eases or pains and aches but there
are none more easily obtainable and
used than hot water. Halls journal
of Health enumerates some instances
in which it is of great benefit. Astrin
of flannel or napkin folded lengthwise
and dipped in hot water and wrung
out, and then applied around the
neck of child that has the Group.
will usually bring relief in ten min.
utes. A towel folded several times
and dipped in hot water and quickly
wrung and applied over the tooth
ache or neuralgia will generally af.
ford prompt relief. This treatment
in collie works like magic. There is
nothing that SO promptly cuts short
a congestion OF thelungs, sore throat
or rheumatism as hot water when
applied promptly and thoroughly.
Tepid water acts promptly as an
emetic, and hot water taken freely
half an hour before bed time is the
best cathartic possible in the case of
constipation, while it has a most
soothing effect upon the bowels. This
treatment, continued a few months,
with proper attention to diet, will
cure any case of durable dyspepsia.
Headache almost always yields to
the simultaneous application of hot
water to the feet and the back of the
neck.

BeWitChed Milk,

F. S. Bean, a former Oxford dean,
now residing in Cad oft, Wis, COM
municates a strange tale of an old
Oxford county superstition to the
Norway Advertiser. He says that
when he was a lad the people of his
neighboorhood used to believe that
an old woman living there was
witch. She became provoked with a
neighbor because the latter refused
to sell her a COW, and thereafter no
butter could be made from that
cows milk. No matter how long
they churned, the butter would not
come. AS the story goes, a girl in
the family had heard that a witch
could be burned and dispossessed by
dropping red hot horseshoe in the
churn with the cream. She tried the
experiment., whereupon she declared
that scream issued from the churn!
The butter soon came, and scar in
the shape of a horseshoe was after
wards seen on the old woman's per-
son by some imaginative observer.
when | was boy, l believed the
story, but my faith is somewhat
shaken now" says Mr.. Bean.
