OREGON NOTES.

The price of wheat has reached 20
cents, as against &C cents, the seasons
opening bid.
William Bennett, an aged farmer
living three miles from Elgin, was IA
tally shot by his neighbor, William
Top. Top is in jail, but claims he did
the shooting in self-defense. Bennett
says Top started the assault. Bennett
is lying at the point of death. The
row started over Tops cattle getting
into Benefits field.
Both the hay and the cattle market
of Mt. Vernon district were never in
such an unsettled condition as at pres
ent. There will not be the amount of
hay in the country this fall that there
was last winter, and the prices of beef
cattle are so low the farmers are re-
fusing to sell. There is more stock in
the country than there was last sea-
son.
At Portland, running for his life
down a ditch Is feet deep, William
Woodman was caught recently by a
fall of three tons of dirt and buried
alive In 'front.' OF Welnhard'S brewery,
to which a new section of sewer pipe
was being placed. While the ditch
was being dug it had been shored up
with timbers to prevent a falling of
the dirt upon the heads of the work
men.
A few minutes after he had gone
down into the ditch from the unpro
tected sides above He started to run
down the trench, but was caught by
the tremendous weight, which fell al
most instantly upon his body.
Just two blocks from the Portland
police station, in broad daylight, the
lock of the safe in the office of the
Defiance Tea company, Second and
Ankeny streets, was picked Sunday
morning and $3.50 in cash taken with
out clue being left behind to identify
the daring robbers.

The use of sweat pads under some
circumstances may be justified, espe-
ciauy when horses have started work
in the spring in good form and are re-
duced in flesh during the summer. One
of the principal objections to the sweat
pad is that 1t tends to become soggy
and consequently Increases the friction
between the surface Of the pad and the
shoulder. 1t sometimes happens that
by the use of the pad one can fit col
lar that could otherwise not be worn.
In this instance the price Of a collar
may be saved. BY the use of the pad
the draft is often thrown on the outer
edge Of the shoulders, while 1t should
be as close In as possible. When an
animal gets a sore spot on some part
of his shoulder it is sometimes possible
to cut a hole in the pad and thus re-
lieve the pressure on this place until it
becomes healed. The main thing is to
have q collar fit the shoulder well.
Where this Is the case there Is seldom
any danger of irritation, providing the
names are properly fitted to the collar
and pulled up tightly each time they
are put on. 1t never pays to work
away with a collar that does not fit,
because an animal that constantly ex-
periences pain through ill-itting har-
ness cannot do the same amount of
work, nor do 1t as willingly, as would
be the case If all parts of the harness
are adjusted TO its form.-Iowa Home

Market gardeners who are situated
so as to command a good trade direct

shows specimens Of Early Milan, one
Of the best turnips grown. 1t Is the
earliest white turnip in cultivation, and
Of splendid quality, just suited to
housekeepers who object to the pun

Should you use the old-fashioned
dasher churn you are annoyed by the
cream, milk and butter splashing out
at the top, where the dasher handle
goes through. This may be avoided by
melting the bottom Off a small fruit
or baking powder can and placing 1t
over the handle of the dasher. 1t rests
on the lid of the churn and catches all

The Uncle Sam Potato.

A heavy yielding variety of more
than average quality Is something
growers of potatoes have long desired,
and the tests of the new variety, I'm
Gle Sam, shown In the cut, indicate
that 1t fills the bill. So large are the
yields of this variety under ordinary
culture. expert growers claim that 1t
has no equal. The tubers are uniform
in size, with comparatively few very
small specimens, and the quality Is of
the very best. In season the variety
is medium to late. Unfortunately, re-
suits are not all that can be desired
on heavy soils or clay, but on sandy
or loamy soils 1t has no equal. In
form the Uncle Sam Is oval, pure
white, with russell skin and shallow
eyes near the surface. Continued
tests may prove that the variety will
do better on heavy soils after the first
season, which Is frequently the case
with sorts that have been grown from
the beginning in lighter soils. At all
events, the variety has too many good
points to throw 1t aside for culture Oh
heavy soils after a single season OF
testing.

A Place for Milk Pans

When a dairyman has a number of
COWS necessltating the use of a great
many cans, it is not always easy to
keep the cans clean and placed so
that they will take up but little room.
The device illustrated shows a method
which has the merit of being cheap
and at the same time keeping the cans
in a position so that they will drain
thoroughly. Set two posts In the de-
sired place far enough apart so as to
furnish the required amount of space
for the cans; to these posts nall sew
eral boards, and on the boards fasten
at intervals several hooks of iron or
wood to catch the handle of the can
over as shown In the cut The can Ia
held In position by loops OF rope as
indicated. The side Of any building
can, of course. be utilized for the pur-
pose when convenient and save the

THREE CHILDREN BURNED UP.
Big Bend Farmers Awful Calamity
While Absent

Coulee City, Wash, Aug. 10.-Three
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Whitehead,
the oldest child six years of age, the
youngest baby of Is months, burned
to death in a cottage on their parents
farm, about six miles northeast Of
here. Two children were burned to a
crisp, the others arms and neck being
burned off.
The parents went out to work dig
ging a well. which is beyond a small
hill, leaving the three children on the
bed fast asleep. There was a fire in
the cook stove. Shortly afterwards a
neighbor named Claude came running
down inquiring where their children
were. They stated they had left them
in the house asleep, when he informed
them that their house was all ablaze.
A frantic rush was made for the house,
but-it had burned to the ground and
the children with it, and the parents
were unable to do anything. They
found the charred remains where the
bed on which they had been sleeping
stood when the parents left the house.
The origin ot the fire remains a mys-
terry. Both parents are Frustrated, and
the mother at this time is very low.
The parents and neighbors were not
burned in any way, as they were una
Bile to get near the house, on account
of the heat. 1t was a small frame
building and had collapsed before the
parents reached it, The mother
screaming, crying and wringing her
hands, stood there, but all hope was
gone. They need aid.

GREAT HUMBERT TRIAL.
The Family Is Charged With Forgery
and SWindinu

Paris, Aug. 10.-The notorious Hum
bert family today faced a judge and
jury to meet the charge of having per-
petrated what ex-Premier Waldeck-
Rousseau describes as "the greatest
swindle of the century" Investigat-
ing Magistrate Leydel in May decided
to commit Theresa Humbert, her hus-
band, Frederick, and her brothers, Ro-
main and Emile d'Aurignac, for trial
on the charge of forgery, the use of
forged documents and swindling. He
dismissed the cases against Eva Hum
bert (Theresas daughter) and Marie
Duignac Cher sister,.
Public curiosity, which has followed
the fortunes of the family since the
days of it's social brilliancy, is again
intensely wrought up, the chief inter
est centering in LA Grande Theresa,
who has promised to produce at this
trial the mysterious American million
aires, the brothers Crawford, on whom
she based her story of an inheritance
of $2O,000,000, which she put forward
as the security for the loans she OBJ
tanned, amounting to about s10,000,000

TWO CHURCH BODIES
CONSOLI DATED AS ONE
Fusion of Methodist Protestants and
United Brethren.

A subcommittee representing the
Methodist Protestant and United Breth-
rcn denominations met yesterday after
roor at the Howard House and effected
the union of the two denominations.
This action was the 10 suit of a declara-
tion made recently at Pittsburg, urging
the consolidation of these two denomi-
nations and the Congregatfonalists The
latter is expected to retard somewhat
the consolidation of the three denomina-
tfons, and 1t was deemed advisable to
bring out the union of the Methodist
Protestant and United Brethren as soon
as possible, as q means of more quickly
furthering the union of the three
churches
The new church was given name,
but what the title is will not be made
known until the subcommittee reports
to the general committee at Pittsburg
III July. 1t is believed by many that
the title agreed upon is either United
Church" or United Methodist Church -
AT the meeting yesterday of the sub
committee appointed to devise a means
o. uniting the three churches, a plan
was agreed upon whereby, it is believed,
this result will be obtained The plans
of the subcommittee Will not be re-
vealed until after the meeting at Pitts
burg.
