contagion which comes with spring

his ears of how some fellow country
man has attained sudden wealth by
discovering "strawberry" pearl, and
the mere routine Of farm life becomes
all at once a slavish drudgery. A day
later the farmer is off for the clam
beds.
Hundreds Of pearl fishers also come
from river towns, where they have
lived a precarious life through the win

earned the foregoing year are eager
to get back to the clam beds at the
earliest sign Of thaw. Men who
have families, as a general thing. take
their wives and children with them.

ABDuL's COSTLY SLEEP.
Mig Price Tor sIumber That Is PAID

Mig Price For siumber That Is Paid
by Turkeys sultan.
Sleep that costs 5000 a night seems
pretty expensive but that IS what the
sultan Of Turkey. who is right in the
public eye at the present time, is now
paying for the privilege Of more or less
tranquil repose, writes the Constantine
Pile correspondent of the Washington
Post The money is received BIS the
members Of the special military STAFF
which guards Abdul Hamid's bedroom
and which consists Of two generals, a
colonel, a major, a captain and several
soldiers. For their nights work each
OF the two generals gets 30 Turkish
pounds, or about S235; the colonel 40,
the major 80, the captain 80 and each
soldier l, the entire amount aggregat-
ing slightly over 5000 in American mon
ey. The officers and men get their fee
every morning Immediately they have
been relieved and don't have to wait
for it like some pretty big nations to
whom Abdul Hamid owes money.
This expensive night guard of the
sultans has been maintainC by him
only since the recent assassination Of
the royal couple Of servia OF course
the timorous ruler Of Turkey always
has been particularly well guarded at
night, but the murders at Belgrade
scared Abdul Hamid almost out Of his
wits, and he Immediately determined
that he would surround his bedcham-
Der with the most vigilant men who
could be secured and make 1t to their
interest to protect him, The command
of the special night guard is intrusted
to eight Of the sultan's most faithful
generals, two of whom are on duty
every night Owing chiefly to this and
other precautions that the ruler has
adopted recently It Is estimated that
the weekly expense Of running Yildi2
kiosk is over $4,000

Good Road Work.

Roadmaster Geo. Thsrnton came in
Sunday from road work to spend the
day with his family IN this city.
Mr.. Thornton has accom- plished a
great amount of work this season, IN
fact, enough to thoroughly demonstrate
that this system of road work is much
more effective than the old system.
The old system where there was an
annual gathering for good social time
in which the roads were not materially
damaged has been done away with,
and road work is down to systematic
and business basis.
Mr.. Thornton commenced work at the
Gillian county line and has finished
work to point three miles east of lone.
The road outfit was moved from Lex
ington to Pire City Monday, and from
there will 90 to the Little Butter Creek
country, where road work is badly
needed for the wool hauling season.

Charged With Horse Stealing.

Gus Hale, deputy constable from
lone, brought VIM. Henry to this city.
Saturday evening, charged with horse
stealing.
Henry is a transient, having just drop
ped in from Montana. He went to lone
and proceeded to have time by getting
gioriously full. Getting his eve on a
horse and saddle, he imagined that it
was his and rode the animal out of town.
Riding out of town he turned the horse
loose and carried the saddle back which
be offered to sell to f. G Sperry. The
horse and saddle belonged to r. C.
Sperry and E. &. Sperry recognized the
saddle at once.
Henry was arrested and given a
hearing in Justice E. T. Parker's court.
Being unable to furnish bonds he was
placed in the county jail. Like his il
lustrious namesake, he is now CRYING
for liberty.

other places.
The company has leased the Penland
ware houses at Lexington for the pur-
pose of handling the sand woods. This
wool last year went to Echo.
In the Spray country the company is
Interested 10 shearing sheds and is
reaching out into that country for the
wool business. This wool all formerly
went to Shaniko, but, a good portion of
it will this year be brought to Heppner

A. NJ. Slocum went to Portland, Tues
day, TO get estimates on machinery,
wire, etc. to put in an electric plant at
the Slocum saw mill and transmit
power to this city distance of ii miles.
Mr.. Slocum has been figuring on this
proposition for some tin e. Mr.. Socum
stated to the GAZETTE that by making a
ditch for three miles he could get fall
OF 500 feet and was satisfied that there
was enough water to develop 500 horse
power. Mr., Slocum estimates that to
put plant in operation will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. This is some
thing in which Heppner people are in
terested for it would furnish Heppner
with good power and cheaper than
steam owing to expensive fuel. For
such an institution as the Heppner
Light d- Water Co., this would be big
saving. With this plant in operation,
all the power in Heppner would soon be
spinning by electricity.

self-playing piano by means of wire
from the electric plant it is so arranged
that it will play music from the most
celebrated artists of the world to the
most commonplace ragtime, on a con-
tinuous roll of paper so arranged as to
be carried through on the rollers and
modulate the time and give expression
so perfectly that if one hearing it were
to look for the player a great surprise
would greet them, as by touching the
button it will play yards and Yards OF
music without ceasing from sacred
hymns to "Home Sweet Home" and

at eleven O'Clock it always hears
the sound of Aud Lang Syne. This
instrument is complete success and
