Lost His Right Hand.

Peter Anderson, mechanic en-
ployed at Watson & Luhr's planning
mill, met with distressing accident
at 10 O'Clock Tuesday that will cost
him his good right hand. He was
working at the joiner, squaring small
pieces of wood. The end which was
held by the right hand had knot
near the end and as the knives struck
it the stick few up and allowed his
hand to drop into the opening next to
the knives. All four fingers and the
thumb were cut at the second joint.
Mr.. Anderson was hurried to DIR. Vim
cents Office where his wounds were
dressed. His loss is irreparable, as
the right hand will be rendered al.
most wholly useless.-East Oreganian.

ED. TINES -MoUNTAINhER:
1t is all good aud we'll to make a
noise by offering a lot OF suggestions;
but why not do something more def
mite? The people of Eastern Oregon
have heard suggestion after sugg estion
until it has become chestnut to offer
any more In regard to the portage
road at Cascades.
Is Judge Mays in earnest In his
criticisms published in the Chronicle
of the Sd? If so, he should, for he is
in position and fully competent to
do 80, issue call for mass meeting
of the people OF Eastern oregon, or of
WascO county AT least, to inquire why
the portage is not allowed to be oper-
ated. And he might advise that such
a meeting appoint committee of men
who had good common sense, and who
would demand for the people that the
be removed and the Dor.
tage operated for the benefit of those
for whom it was built.
Time is precious at present, for busi-
ness is hampered on account of the
portage being tied up, but If the road
could be operated it would be benefit
to the farmers in shipping their wheat
and wool. and in facU everybody would
be helped. Let the judge use his Of
fetal position to get the portage in
operation once more, and all will be
proud OF the achievement BIZ.

thus any and all donations will be
thankfully received.
There is about ten acres OF land
attached TO the building and it is the
intention of the management to raise
most of the vegetables for the use of
the Home and to keep at least three
cows and horse. and as funds are now
low, should some charitably disposed
farmer see fit to donate part of the
stock required, the donation will be
most thankfully accepted and proper
acknowledgements made, the society
paying all freight charges to Portland.
1t is almost unnecessary TO state that
the society receives homeless and neg
lected children from every county in
the state, and Wasco county has con-
tributed her share, as County Judge
Blakely will certify.

This unique exhibition has created

The friend Of the horse will be con-

While witnessing the almost human
actions of this band of horses, one
finds it difficult to realize that they

How TO SECURE A SCHOOL LIBRARY
a Subject That should Be ARitated In
Every District

Subject That should Be Agitated u
| Every District.
How to secure school library wal
one OF the many important questions
discussed at the institute. Few of the
schools in Wasco have any reference
books except, perhaps, Webster's I'm
abridged Dictionary, and the effective
ness OF school work is lessened on this
| account.
Reference books are needed In ever,
school. not heavy, cumberous volumes
which impel the child, but interesting
little books which awaken desire for
good reading. Take the subject oi
reading in our school, the boy "gets
through the book" and after he does
not know the words, that is he would
not be able To pronounce them in 9
new piece.''
He has committed his reading lessons
as with supplementary reading. this
would be corrected. Many teachers
realize that reading is poorly taught,
but often the sentiment in q district
compeis young teacher TO get the
child Through the book" come what
will. Give the school supplementary
reading, let pupil and parent under
stand that this work is necessary for
promotion, then there will be fewer
children who are "in the Fifth reader"
and unable to read newspaper item.
But the need of reference books is
not limited TO reading. History be-
comes an interesting story to little
children, with Eggleston's First Book
in American History, and the book
costs just 80 cents. The story is still
interesting to older pupils with the
boys Of '76, and it is a profound study
with Fisk's Critical Period of Ameri-
can History. What pity that any
American boy should say, "I don't like
history" when with few good books,
the last list of dates and isolated facts
become the lives of the makers of our
country. Good reading Ia as broad as

When your stomach begins to
trouble you, it needs help. The help
it needs, is to digest your food, and,
until it gets it, you won't have any
peace. Stomach trouble is very dis
tressing, very obstinate, very danger
GUS. Many of the must dangerous
diseases begin with simple Indigestion.
The reason is that indigestion (uot-di-

the system and allows disease germs to
attack it. The antidote is Shaker Di:

does this by strengthening the
