DOCTORS DISAGREE.
They Fight Over Telephone Wire
and Prom Ise Future Damage.

A physician at each end of the
telephone between Pendleton and
Milton and each physician was as
mad as 4 hornet. The reason for
these medical gentlemen going to
the phones was to discuss the
James AshwOrth case and during
the course Of conversation one call
ed the other prevaricator. It was
the Milton physician who applied
this term and the Pendleton ply
sician replied:
ssAny man who calls me a liar
when he is thirty-iiye miles away
is no gentleman, Is coward and is
not versed in the art Of running a
hotel. Wait until ] see you face
to face to face and then call me a
liar.n
At this the Milton doctor pulled
off his outer garments, jumped up
and fell downward, swore in the
language Of the layman, and prom-
ised damage to the optics Of the
Pendleton physician in the near
future.

A DIVISION DELEGATION.

Three Gentlemen from Milton Visit

Frank G., Hull, editor Of the
Milton Eagle; N. A. Davis, repre-
sentative-elect of Umatilla county;
and III. r! Frazier, a prominent
rancher and fruit grower, mayor Of
Milton and vice. president Of the
bank Of Milton, arrived in Pendle-
ton Thursday evening and have
been interviewing business men.
today on the much mooted ques4
tion Of county division, says the
East Oregonian. From talk with
these gentlemen an impression is
gained that they are very much in
earnest and are not out on a
Christmas holiday excursion. They
are goingto accomplish division,
if to accomplish il they are able.
Each one is armed with argument
and loaded with fact and figure. In
advocating and combating, they
show a degree of confidence in sue
cess and evidently expect soon to
belong to another county than
Umatilla. Mr.. Hull was a caller
at the East Ofegonian office and
said:
1--WE are here to talk division
and want to see your business
men. This issue, now long before
the people Of this county, has come
up again for settlement and We be-
lieve it will be settled in the right
manner. There are various lines
proposed, among them the Lee
county line, which comes within
seven miles Of Pendleton, leaving
Athena. Adams, Milton and Wes-
ton in the new portion. We claim
this would give the older part over
half the taxable property now on
the assessment rolls"
Mr.. Hull said little concerning
any encouragement the delegation
had received from Pendleton busi-
ness men. but intimated that few
men we're found who favor division
0f any kind. Mr.. Frazier stated
that he believed scarcely a man
could be found beyond Wild Horse
creek who was an anti-divisionist.

PEARLS ARE MANUFACTURED,

The cultivation of the pearl oyster
has for years been carried on with
great success in the bay of Ago, in
Japan, under direction and restriction
OF governmental supervision. The
process OF nature is, however, too slow
Tor modern requirements. A French
man has been boring holes in the shells
OF pearl oysters and introducing therein
small glass beads and stopping up the
holes with cork. In six months he has
pure surface pearls with a glass founda-
ton. The nacre of the pearl mollusk
varies in color according to its loca.
ton, and almost any color of pearl, as
White, black, pink or gray, can readily
be produced by lodging the nucleus on
the appropriate part of the mollusks'
body. The Chinese are wonderfully
expert IN the manufacture of pearls,
They introduce small balls of earth in
side the pearl mussel by very delicately
opening the shell and placing the nuclei
under the mouth of the animal and
allowing the shell to close. This initial
process occurs in May or June; the
are then deposited in canals or
pools and in November the mollusks
are opened, the pearls removed, holes
bored therein, the nuclei extracted, the
hollow pearl filled with melted resin
and the orifice skillfully filled with
mother-of-pearl. These Chinese pearls
are fiat on the bottom and are nearly
hemispherical in shape.
Pearls can be made of almost anv
desired shade or color by chemical
means. The black pearl, for instance,
is lndelibly colored in bath of nitrate
of silver.
Pearls being partly of animal sub
stance are subject to deterioration and
decay, and none of the famous pearls of
to-day can be traced back many gener-

THE PROPER FOOD FOR EGG PRODUCTION

This is very important factor, be-
cause by finding what the egg is com
posed Of, and feeding such constituents
we are more likely to get the egg. The
white of an egg is rich in the alkilies,
potash and soda, part Of the latter
being present as common salt; the yolk
is unusually rich in phosphoric acid,
and contains much more lime than the
white. The fundamental principles to
be borne in mind III arranging the diet
Of a hen are that the largest ingre-
dlents IN eggs are lime, nitrogen and
phosphoric acid. One chemist has
stated what an egg is composed of and
another that green bones which have
been hitherto thrown away or given
away by the butchers when cut, not
ground, are the cheapest and best egg
making material eytant.
Green bones are rich in albumen,
phosphate Of lime and phosphoric acid
which 60 to make egg and shell. Feed
ing cut bone has been revolution in
the economy of egg production during
winter
A good plan for utilizing other waste
products is to put all kitchen and
table waste, in the shape of meat
scraps, pieces of bread and uneaten
vegetables, in a vessel. Heat this in
the morning with boiling water and
mix in bran, shorts, provender or what
ever is cheapest and most abundant on
the farm, until the whole is a crumbly
mass. A small quantity of black or
red pepper should be busted in before
mixing. Let the mixture stand a few
minutes until partially cooked, and
feed in a narrow, clean trough to the
layers in the morning.
A light feed of oats at noon, and a
liberal ration of wheat, buckwheat or
other grain for the evening meal should
BRING plenty of eggs. Each layer
should be sent to roost with a full crop
to carry her over the long night fast.
Green food, as unmarketable vegeta-
oles' clover hay or lawn clippings-the
two latter dried in summer and put
away to be steamed for winter-should
be supplied. If green bones are fed
they may be given in lieu of any of
the regular rations, reducing the guam
