WOOL AND ELECTRICITY.

Highly Charged Halls Are Dimcuit to
Handle.
An important fact Is discussed by a
writer In the Manufacturers Review.
Viz. that wool. after It L. shurn and
cleansed preparatory TO the carding
and spinning processes. Is capable ~
being highly charged with electricity.
and that though the phenomena re-
sulting from this characteristic are ia
millar TO all carders the influence OF
this agent Il oftcntimes 30 active as to
interfere materially with the working
Of the wool. the fact. however. that
wool when thoroughly wet. or we'll
fabricated. either artificlally or with It's
own natural grease. shows no effccts
from the presence Of electricity. may he
considered as establishing the fact that
In all grades ~ wool the susceptibility
to the influence Of electricity increases
In the ratio Of drynoss or absence Of
lubricatlng material In the nbrc. or. In
other words. TO It's freedom from the
molstcninE effects OF oil or water while
sufficient moisture properly applied will
not only prevent all the evil effects OF
electricity In wool. but will destroy
every evidence OF Its existence In both
the picker and card rooms. The writer
adds that by making the feed light In
bulk, speeding the feed roll and doffers
faster FOR quick speed and quick de-
livery, and reducing the speed Of the

Found Dead.

w. A. Miner, a railroad laborer
was found dead in his bed at Meach-
am Friday. The coroner was sum
moned from Pendleton, but an in
vestigation revealed the fact that
the deceased had bled to death
from hemorrhage. The attitude OF
the body and the presence at the
head of the bed of bucket into
which the mans life blood had
ebbed away showed plainly the
cause of death. There were no
marks of violence upon the body,
As it was evident that death had
resulted from natural causes, no in
quest was held. The body was
prepared for burial and given in
charge of w. G. Belts.

BURGLARY AT WESTON.
Postoffice Robbed of $37oin Broad
Daylight.


Daylight.
Weston has had its turn with
burglars.
Monday evening about 6 o'clock
while George Reynolds, the clerk,
was at supper, burglars effected an
entrance to the postoffice buildi ng
through back door, which was
not locked, and purloined from the
safe 1905 in cash and $165 in post
age stamps.
The safe was of a late pattern, but
as left by the clerk, the combina-
tion not being on, it was an easy
matter for the burglar to obtain ac-
cess to it. This was done by re-
moving two screws, this loosened
the catch lock, and all that was
left to do was to pull the heavy
door open. After this was accom-
plished, of course it was an easy
matter to make the haul and o
quick exit out at the rear door.
That the burglar, or burglars,
were thoroughly familiar with the
habits of the clerk, is made sure by
their timely action while he was at
home at his supper, and no doubt
they were on the alert and saw him
leave the building. The opinion is
prevalent in Weston that the par
ties who did the looting reside in
or near the town, and the fact that
the parties were cognizant of the
habits of Reynolds, gives much
weight to the theory.
Lew Van Winkle, the postmaster,
has been absent from town on an
outing. Mr.. Van Winkle was at
once sent for, and arrived on the
scene at o'clock Tuesday. Sher-
iff Houser and a postoffice inspec.
tor from Portland have been at
Weston hunting for some clew to
perpetrators.
Pendleton postoffice supplied
stampe until some could be pro-
cured from headquarters.

man says of the case: "Benj. Cor
bett, the old man who was arrested
on Wednesday on a charge Of in
sanity was taken before Court Com
missioner Attorney T. P. Gose and
examined by Drs. f.. .E. Shaw and
Stewart as to his sanity. The ply
sicians found Corbett suffering from
melancholy, and Commissioner
Gose ordered him taken to Medical
Lake. Corbett is a cripple and
about 66 years of age. He stated
that he has wife in La Grande
and also a sister in Buffalo. N. Y.
When asked about his troubles he
stated that he had no friends any
where. That everybody was
against him. In Walla there were
several working together endeavor.
ing to crowd him out Of business.
He left his wife in La Grande where
he had lived for nine years, because
she had worked against him there.
After working hard all day, he
would return at night to find his
supper not ready as it had been in
former years, Such was some of
the conversation of this poor old
man in court.
When Jailor Fohley went to
Corebtt after the examination end
told him to go with him to Jail

implored him not to take him to

FOR BETTER ROADS.

Roads Has Begun.

Roads Has Begun.
The newspapers of Umatilla
county have by concerted effort at
last got the people of the count y
interested in the better road move
ment.
1t takes straw aud some muscle,
but as there is an abundant supply
Of both, no doubt the main thor
oughfares 10 a short time will be de-
void of ruts and dust.
In the vicinity of Helix several
farmers have commenced the good
work, and as the effect for the bet
ter is instant, others have become
enthused and promise immedi ate
corporation. The county Judge
was visited. He was told the plan
which has been thought of as the
most feasible-to have the Helix
road strawed in sections by the peo-
pie living along it, and all work
done in this manner to be credited
on the regular road tax. This plan
received Judge Martins hearty APP
proval. In the name of the county
court, ne not only gave consent,
but urged that the plan be carried
out. The court will be glad to en-
courageit, having made every eff
fort to have straw placed on the
roads.
After the roads are once thor
oughly strawed, it takes but little
work thereafter to keep them in
| splendid condition. The time to
do the strawing is at the present,
so that the heavily loaded wagons,
hauling wheat, wood, ETC., will
press the straw and dirt into the
deep ruts, thereby filling and lev
cling up the roads. The fall rains,
too, which will come soon,ss will be
a great promoter ef good roads il
straw is on them.
A systematic effort should be
made to have the roads between
Athena and Pendlenton, Weston,
Milton and Helix strawed at once.

Of Mitt Bush, who had been run

Doctor found that the boy was

Bogus leather in Shoes.

have been made out of what is
known as leather board. 1t is a
compressed paste. There is a fac

tons of it every month. Many Of
these shoes arc sent to Central

thousands are sold here.
