possible TO find a dead calm on such

In all of Prof. Langley's former tests
he has found it necessary to launch his
airship into the wind and not before the

In connection with this method OF

observed that all large birds. like the
eagle and buzzard. invariably start

The attitude of the scientists toward
the press correspondents at Whitewater
has not changed one iota. and the same
air of secrecy and distrust Is main

LESS WORK FOR
KEEPERS At zoo
Will Not Labor Sundays or
Holidays.
TIMES GAINS THEM RELIEF
Narrative of the Exacting Conditions
Of Their Duties Procures
Amelioratiop.

A portion OF the keepers at the Zoo
logical Park have been informed thae
they will not be compelled in the future
to work on Sunday and legal holidays.
The welcome change applies to those
employed by the month.
The grievances OF the men who work
By the day are now under consideration.
The assurance that their labors would be
lightened was given yesterday almost
simultaneously with the publication IL
The Times of the arduous conditions OF
the work expected of the men.
Immediately after the question was
brought to the attention of DR.. Frank
Baker, superintendent of the Zoo. and
following his assertion that the men re-
ceived days leave for each Sunday. one
of the keepers called upon the superin
tendent and registered a complaint IN
connection with this additional work
without compensation. He acted as
spokesman for his fellow-employes.
Keepers Make Appeal.
The grievances of the keepers were
set forth to DR.. Baker. He was in
formed that the men were intensely dis
satisfied with the present arrangement
and an appeal was made to him to find
immediate relief.
The matter was taken up by DR.
Baker and Head Keeper W. H. Black
burne. This resulted IN the announce
ment that the condition would be
remedied without delay. at least so fal
as the monthly paid employees are con.
cerned.
Under the new arrangement the five
keepers who receive their pay by the
month will not be compelled to repor
for duty on Sunday or legal holidays
In the event of a special order tha'
they work on the Sabbath they will re-
ceLxe an equivalent leave in the follow
ing week
The disposition of the requests oi
those who work by the dsv has not bser
announced Their grievances are based
on the fact that they receive no extra
pay for Sunday work. The civil service
law will probably figure in the final de-
cision.
A Distinct Victory.
Should the day employees be granted ;
concession, the keepers will have gained
q distinct victory.
The relation OF their continuous per
formance at the treadmiIl OF work al
published in The Times has create,
much sympathy for the men and wide
spread criticism of the authority tha
compelled IL.
The civil service laws on the subiec
provide that no Government employ
shall work on Sunday or days declare,
by law to be holidays. In consequence
OF this. the employment of the keeper
against their expressed desire on thos'
days appears to be direct and fagran
violation OF this regulation.
The rules of the Civil Service Com
mission do not set a time limit. however
on the length Of a days work. othe
than 10 set forth that II shall not be les
than seven hours. BY special order q
the proper authorities the hours may b.
extended without additional compensa
tion.

6 MIGRANTS ADDED
A NEW CART AND HOSE FOR
FIRE DEPARTMENT,
Every Portion Of the City is now
Placed Under Good Fire
Protection

The additions to Athena's water sys-
tenn have been completed this week.
The work has been done by local men
under the supervision of Marshal Ghol-
son and Councilman @. A. Barrett, at
the reasonable cost of $158. The result
is that several hundred feet of new main
has been put in and the fire protection
service to the city IS greatly augmented
by the addition of six new hydrants,
placed at well selected locations, giving
every portion of the city ample fire pro-
lection.
The new hose cart and 400 feet Of hose
arrived from Portland Monday and is
housed at the new station at the west
end of Main street. This gives the city
fire department equipment for two hose
teams in addition to the hook and ladder
apparatus, making it one of the best
equipped departments in Eastern Ore
gon.
A department meeting has been called
for Monday night, of which Mayor Tay-
Tor will be presiding officer. At this
meeting the mayor will designate the
division lines, from which the depart
ment is to be reoFganized, virtually. A
number Of the members Of Hose Team
No. will be transferred to Hose Team
No. 2, from the fact of their residence
being in the district where the new sta
ton is located.

AFrank O. Rogers has leased the

house, located on the w. & G. r. and
O. r. 4 N. railways in this city,.
He announces that he will be prepared
to pay the highest price for grain at all
times and will make specially of stor-
ing grain for farmers. In an intesview
Mr.. Rogers stated to the Press that he
is in position to offer the farmer su-
perior inducements, from the fact that
his warehouse is located on both the o.
r. & N. and w. & @. R. railways, bring
ing him in touch with both the Sound
and Portland terminal markets.
Mr.. Rogers has the confidence Of the
farmers Of this section, having been in
the wheat business here for two seasons,
the last year representing the Western
Warehouse company. Last season Mr..
Rogers was located at Hartline, Wash,
where he purchased large amount Of
grain. His Athena friends are pleased
to have him engage in business here,
and his experience as a grain dealer
makes him worthy competition Of other
buyers.

There is little doubt the vote will be

At the same time set OF officers to

fifth of the people of the section are in

not it will fail, and the present system
in vogue will prevail.
The officers who are to be elected will
have charge Of the apportioning of the
water to various users along the river,
telling them on what days they may use
the stream and for how long. 1t will be
their duty to inquire into the conditions
of each place, and to distribute the
water in manner fair to all, showing
no partiality to any one and dispensing
no favors.
1t is expected there will be quite an
exciting time on the day Of the election,
as there are a number of those who have
their bitches already made to suit them
selves, and the water supply regulated
for their own convenience, who are op-
posed to the innovation and would like
