A DIET OF WOOD.
German Chemist InveEts IN Animal
Fodder with sawdust - Prin-
oipal ingredient.

Wood is to be the newest food, Gays
Heinrich Reh, a professor OF chemis try
N Berlin. He has secured a patent
upon a form of animal fodder which
has sawdust as it's chief ingredient,
says London report.
He argues that animals have de-
sided liking for young shoots, roots
IF shrubs, tree bark and other heavy
'ood of the same nature, and, since
experiments have proved that the nu-
sriment contained in such growth re-
mains in it even after it has become
wood, he observes that with little
,alt and water added to it the saw
lust will prove to be highly nourish-
ing diet.
He has statistics to prove 1t. Pine,
birch, alder, acacia, beech and walnut
woods and straws have been analyzed
chemically by him and he finds that
the wood has vastly more albumen, nj
trogen and fatty substance than the
straw.
The inventor claims that "a very
.heap cattle food can be prepared In
his manner, to which may be added
potato peelings, corn husks and shells
IF grain and the residue from the
sugar beet after the sugar has been

was spent on the old ditch at the time 1t
was constructed. Sixty horses and 20
men are employed at present. The pro-
moters believe they will complete the
work by February l.
It s estimated the new ditch will add
5000 more acres to the irrigated section
1t is said 5000 acres are already under
irrigation.
Just few miles below here is one of
the greatest alfalfa meadows of the west.
Through the large crops raised on it the
section has become known as the echo
Alfalfa Meadows" The alfalfa crops
raised this year were unusually large,
and haystacks can be seen thickly dotted
over the district. That portion Of the
district is a great cattle country, and
large bands of stock will be fed there
this winter. The soil, with sufficient
water, is highly productive.

The EgYptian AfterglOw.

We all know what "Egyptian dark
ness" is, and that in most tropical coun-
tries sudden darkness after sundown is
one of the peculiarities. In Egypt at
certain seasons of the year there is IA
marked exception to this sudden draw
ing of the curtains of the skies" The
sun got down and darkness comes on
very suddenly and continues for Il
space of 20 minutes or half an hour.
Then. all of Il sudden, the hillsand sands
take on a ghastIy paleness and in an
other moment everything begins TO
brighten. and it appears that the sun
is about TO rise out of the west. These
tints of golden, purple, orange and lilac
attain their maximum degree of bright
ness in about ten minutes after they
begin, and i'm % minutes everything has
faded into darkness and YOU are only
conscious of the fact that You have ju.f
witnessed the phenomenon known aS
the Egyptian afterglow."

BULL AGAINST RHlkOCEROS.
A Terrific Battle In the Land Of the

Zulus.
When I was ON the Zulu frontier,
said traveller recently, l stopped for
4 week with a native, splendid fellow,
who had a fine farm. Among other ami
mails he had young bull, called Hulo,
hich he and his children fondly be-

earth. Hulo was a great pet and not III

courage. A rush, a cash, and the bull
horn of his enemy had not caught him
and the first rush had taught him a les
son. His horns were like sharp swords,
but the hide of a rhinOceroS is remark
ably thick, and the young bull soon
showed signs of fatigue. SO he resort

clumsy foe, giving him vicious stabs in
the thighs. This was rapidly weaken

we found some steel bullets (leaden bull

TO BUY COAL FIELDS.
o. Il. q N. Will Probably Purchase
Heppner Mines.

The o. r. & N. will probably acquire
the Heppner coal fields. The railroad
sent coal expert, DR.. M. Schumann,
to the properties about ten DAYS ago.
The expert has finished his nvestiga-
tlons, and is preparing his report. He
will recommend the Goa. as of excellent
steaming quality and of practically un-
limited quantity.
President Mohler will not return from
the East for month yet, and mean.
time the transaction will be held in
allegiance. G. E. Redfeld. secretary of
the Heppner Railroad & Coal Company,
owners OF the coal deposits, is in Port.
land, says the Oregonian. He is sure
that the O. r. & N. will 90 into the en-
terprise.
"Mr. Mohler has said to me-" re-
marked Mr.. Redfed, "that his COM
pany will certainly take up the project
if we have the quality and quantity of
coal we represent. The O. R. & Ms ex-
pert has found our judgment of the de-
posits to have been conservative, and
will extol them more than we have
done.
"Our deposits are confined within an
area of $4,000 acres, 13 miles long and
four or five miles wide. We haye three
veins of coal, which will supply 1900
tons of coal daily for 100 years. We
can mine the coal for $1.25 a ton, and
lay it down at Portland for less than SO.
The O. r. & N. has found it to be the
best coal it has ever used"
A month ago the 0. r. & N. tested 10
tons between Portland and The Dalles.
The locomotive hauled IS cars from
Portland and burned 700 pounds less of
the Heppner coal than it would have
consumed of the Wyoming coal regu-
larly used on the road on train of 60
cars.
Goal now costs the O. r. & N, went
on Mr.. Redfeld, between S. and $6 per
ton. We can supply the road at So or
81 SO per ton, and save the company
81 900 900 per year. That's what Mr..
Mohler told us. His road burns 100000
tons year.
"Now that test is indisputable proof
of the steaming quality of our coal. 1t
has convinced Mr.. Mohler, and | have
not the slightest doubt that he will en-
list the O. r. & N. in our project"
DR.. Shumann testified last night that
the Heppner coal is superior to any in
the Northwest. Just what he intended
to say in his report he would not di-
vulge, but he admitted that he would
highly recommend the coal.
The properties are about 2l miles
south of Heppner. They will be reached
by extending the O. R. & N. up Willow
Creek The extension will cost about
$3.50 900. The owners of the coal beds
have already spent $1,000 in develop
ment OF the properties. None of the
stock of the company is for sale.
Mr.. Redfeld would not discuss the
probable terms on which the 0. r. &
n. would JON the enterprise. He has
full confidence that the railroad COM
pany will be unselfish in the matter.
owing to the la ge sums of money which
it will save from the venture.
DR.. Schumann estimates that one of
the three veins Will yield 1900 tons
day for 80 years. The 0. r. & N. de
sires assurance that q 20 tons day can
be secured from the properties, and has
stated this as one of the conditions.
Such supply is undoubtedly available.

Columbia Record.
The legislative committee an.
pointed to look after the states in
terest at the state farm ON the
Deoanssure place, discharged that
duty last week.
1t would be safe to assume that
their visit did not give them a
case of the "blues." Mr. w
K. Gardner is in charge of the
farm, and he has demonstrated
the fact that he is "the right man
in the right place"
This year 200 acres were placed
in cotton, from which 223 bales
we're gathered. This produced
5000 bushels of cotton seed.
The other crops were also good
and were as follows: $4,000
bushels of corn, $500 bushels of
peas, 5000 bushels of oats, g.
$50 gallons syrup, $500 bushels
potatoes, 1900 bushels wheat.
176 bushels rice, sc bushels rye.
1000 bushels turnips, $50 tons
peavine hay, so tons sbnckc so
tons fodder, 200 tons shredded
stover and pumpkins galore.
1t will be noted that the 200
acres of land planted in cotton
produced nearly bale and a
quarter to the acre. This is good
farming and shows what can be
done with labor that can be con.
trolled.

Former Judge MaCkey.
Telling Crazy Stories.
A Thread Of South Carolina His
tory Woven Into II Yard of
Yellow Journal Fi,tion
Special to The State

W
State he is native and where he
was in politics during the recon.
struction period, Judge John I.
Aackey has been for some years
past a member of the District bar.
He has not been absent from his
State, however, long enough to
forget his experiences and fre-
qusntly regales his friends with u
recital of some of the incidents of
reconstruction. times. Here is
one OF his latest narratives of an
experience he had during his secs
ond year on the bench to which he
was elected by the post bellum
legislature.
81 had been year on the
bench when l was waited on by q
committee in the Legislature with
request for information as to
why l had sent to the penitentiary
81 Republican Office holders and
but one Democrat. Of course
pointed out to the committee the
irregularity of their proceedings
in questioning the judiciary on its
acts and suggested impeachment
proceedings as the proper form.
"But Judge, said the spokes-
man, we must make report and
you will oblige US by a state
ment."
"Well gentleman, | said, the
reason have sent but one Dem
ocratic official to the penitentlary
Is because there was but one Dem.
ocrat in Office in my circuit. |
have sent 81 Republican sheriffs,
probate judges, county treasurers,
school trustees, etc, to prison. |
suggest to the legislature that
inasmuch as the proper material
is in the penitentiary, they organ
iZe that institution into Il separate
county, as the officials are already
there to run it. -
Then the Judge got reminise
cent and delved into what he
claims is some South Carolina hiss
tory. Here is the fantastic
yarn:
"Before the war;" he began,
"South Carolina took leading
rank in the administration of Grim
insl law, irrespective of persons.
! recall one of the most remarka-
BILE cases ever tried, | will ven
ture to state, below the Mason
and Dixon line, in which three
young millionaire white planters
were publicly hanged for the at
rocious murder of an unknown
negro slave of an unknown mas
ter.
"About so miles from Char
lesion three young men, two OF
whom were brothers, named
BlackIedge and the third a cousin
named Mott were out hunting
with their hounds. They had
combined three packs and had
some so or 60 hounds in the
hunt.
The two Blackledge were aged
respectively 26 and 24, while
Mott was u year or two the elder
OF the brothers. During the
hunt some of the bounds went off
on fresh scent, which the chief
huntsman of the party declared
to be 'niggar.' The boys con
suited and decided that it was a
runaway slave, and they agreed
10 hunt down the human game at
more exciting.
"Calling in all the hounds the,
started them on the trail of the
unfortunate negro whom thc\
