Will Store Meat.

To kill cattle and sheep and store the
meat to escape the heavy expense Of
feeding stock until it is needed for the
market is the scheme now contemplated
by the butchers of Pendleton. The
scarcity of hay and other feed stuff has
caused prohibitory prices, and the meat
merchants cannot afford TO winter much
stock, as the profit would be consumed
in buying feed. Harry Houser will be
the first to try the scheme. He will
butcher 100 head, and il the cold storage
scheme proves success on this consign-
ment, the remaining butchers there will
try it. Hay is selling from $40 to $l5
in the stack. Much OF the hay Of Butter
creek, which is one Of the heaviest hay
producing sections in this country, has
been bought up or contracted for, and it
will be with the greatest difficulty that
enough hay is secured by those who
need a supply. There is more stock in
the country this year than there was
last year, with not as much hay to win
ter il.

Umatilla County Honey.

Noah Anspauch, formerly wheat
raiser near Helix, now located in the
Hudson Bay country near the state line,
was in town Tuesday with load Of
honey, says the Adams Advance. He
says that he only has 38 swarms of bees,
but that he will get from 800 to 900
pounds of honey this year, or an average
of over 20 pounds to the hive. He does
not bait his bees at all, but they have
tho neighboring alfalfa fields to work on
of which there are nearly 800 acres in
his immediate vicinity. This acreage
will be greatly increased as soon as the
irrigation ditch now in course of con-
struction is completed.

His Barn DESTROYED,

Monday at his place south Of Weston
Frank Greer lost his barn containing %
tons Of hay, three sets of harness, a sad
die and other articles, the loss being
about $400 with no insurance, says the
Leader. The origin of the fire cannot
be accounted for, unless matches were
dropped by somebody in the hay loft
and afterward gnawed and ignited by
rats. No men folk were on the place
and Mr. Greer's wife and mother could
do nothing to save the barn. With the
loft mass Of fire and smoke, however,
the elder Mrs. Greer bravely entered
the barn and brought out the stock, a
registered bull and two frightened
horses which were tied in the stalls.

Labor.

Athena, Sept. 2. To the Editor; In
leaving Athena | feel that just fare
well word is due the public. My pas
torate OF the Church of Christ in this

has been a pleasurable one. 1t has
been q Joy to work with this progressive
church, and l will here say that have
never been associated with congrega-
ton having larger per cent of good,
loyal, upright christian people in its
membership.
] would have it known that it is not
at the instance Of the church that am
leaving, but that ! am wholly respon-
sible for this, and as we part an excel
lent feeling exists between pastor and
people. / leave Athena with many
tender recollections of associations with
her people in and without the church.
wish all to know, too, that am not
leaving the ministry, labor SO dear to
my heart. While residing on my home
stead for few months and perfecting a
title, | shall be occupied in the pulpit
on Sundays, and it will only be matter
Of months until it is my purpose to re-
locate somewhere as pastor. Farewell.

MONUMENT
----
Slab at Whitman Grave
Is DeSeCrdted

Relic hunters are gradually destroying
one of the famous monuments in the
northwest. Whitman monument is fall
ing into state of neglect, and nearly
every visitor chips off a piece Of the
marble slab marking the spot where the
martyred missionary fell by the hand Of
a savage in 1847.
Recently patriotic spirited people VS.
tied the grounds and monument, which
are situated seven miles west of Walla
Walla, and returning, reported the con-
dition of affairs there. The marble slab
marking the place where Whitman was
killed has been Clipped and picked until
hardly vestige of its former beauty re-
mains.
One entire side of the iron fence sur
rounding the grounds has been stolen
/ and now only single frail bar Of iron
keeps horses, cattle and other domestic
animals from desecrating the grounds.
The grounds are in wretched state Of
neglect, no care having been bestowed
on them for some time.

We are informed by Agent
Ormsby that we were misinform-
ed about the telephone being or
dered out of the depot. The
facts are, as he states them, that
the Office was rushed with busi-
ness during the holidays, and
that some people had become
very presistant in telephoning
the depot every few minutes,
making inquiry about the trains,
SO that they could not attend to
the telegraph business and tele-
phone. He requested the man
ager of the telephone company to
disconnect the depot telephone
until the rush was over. 1t was
necessity to stop the abuse and
not the use of the telephone pri-
vileges that caused Mr.. Ormsby
to suspend the phone ternporar-
lily. 1t was the understanding
when the phone was put in the
depot that central would answer
all calls in reference to trains.
If the customers would adhere
strictly to that rule the other
business over the phone can be
attended too without great in
convenience. Mr.. Ormsby ex-
presses his willingness to accom-
modate the public to the extent
of his ability and time, but their
hundreds of other duties each
demand their proportionate share.
