CHILDREN CARED FOR
o. R. & N. Sends Parentless Lads
and Their Sister to School.

The children Of the late station
agent of the o. R. & n, at Heppner,
]. M. Herman, who, together with
his wife, were lost in the recent
catastrophe which appalled, the en-
tire West, have been taken in
charge of by that company, and
are now attending school at its ex-
pense. There are two sons and
daughter, the boys being in an
educational institution at Spokane,
and their sister in Iowa.
Those who followed the details
Of the disaster will recollect the
heroic work Of Mr.. Herman, who,
at the last moment, opened the
telegraph key and flashed" a
bulletin of the occurrence to the
next station. He was swept to his
death by the torrent which followed
the cloudburst, and his helpmate
met similar fate. The officials Of
the o. R. & N. were 10th to make
public their act in providing for
the waits, but such a commendable
kindness could not pass unnoticed
through the community at large
when the news lraked Colonel
Crooks, in President Mohler's office,
would make no further statement
with reference to the case, other
than that the children had been
sent to finish their education.

HEPPNER is REBUILDING
Streets Are Beginning to Look Like
They Did Before Flood.

"Heppner people are taking right
hold, and the town is going to
build up again." said G. A. Rhea,
president of the First National
Bank, Of Heppner, who was in
Portland Wednesday.
"Seven carloads Of building lum-
Der were received the other day,
and within short time buildings
will commence to go up. The
work of moving the flooded houses
that were not crushed back on to
their rightful foundations, is going
ahead. Many of the drift piles
near the center of the town have
been removed. The splintered re-
mains are being used for fre-wood.
Survivors who got out of the food
are doing we'll. There have been
no deaths or bad relapses from
shocks and exposures. No resi-
dences have been started on the
sites of houses near the creek for
the reason principally that the
debris has not been sufficiently
cleared away. All of us calculate
to put up houses after awhile. To
delay in starting is only natural.
People have temporarily gone away,
but will come back again. As for
myself, | cannot bear to stay there.
who can get away for
month or two is absent.
"Most of the frame houses that
were tossed by the flood into the
main street are moved back on the
street line, and the street is begin
ing to look like it use to. Ayres'
three houses have been set back on
their proper foundations, and car
penters are making repairs. There
is plenty of work for laborers.
"The last corpse was found Tues
day. 1t was that of small boy,
but it was unrecognizable. The
body was found lying near the
railroad track a few miles below
town. 1t had been missed in the
general search, and dirt from the
reconstructed railroad grade had
been thrown over it leaving it half
exposed.
"Poor families are well supplied,
dare say that some of these have
more and better clothing, footwear
and household stuff than they ever
had before the food. Plenty of
money has come in. The task of
looking after the wants of the
destitute is a tedious one and is
being carefully performed by volun-
.eers among she citizens"

DALLAS is GROWING
Number Of School Children Constantly
on the Increase.

H. G. Campbell, school clerk for
Dallas school district, has COM
pleted his enumeration of the
district and reports sos children in
the district entitled to draw school
money. This is 40 more than were
enrolled last year. The eight-room
schoolhouse will be taxed to the
last room at the beginning Of the
Fall term. The school authorities
have bought three additional lots
adjoining the schoolhouse for play
grounds to accommodate the in
creased number of pupils.

CRESCEUS TO BE IN OREGON
Fair Board Confident He Can Be See
cured for the State Fair.

After conducting an inspection
of the conditions at the Fail
Grounds and viewing the progress
of the buildings and the improve
ments there, President Wehrung,
Secretary Wisdom and j. HI. Settle
mier, of the State Fair Board, have
returned to Portland. Mr.. Wisdom
said that SO many applications for
exhibition space were being received
that, besides the eighty horse stalls
and sixty-four cattle stalls, that
are now in course OF construction
it will become necessary to build
eighty-four more sheep pens, and
it may become necessary to con-
struct more horse and cattle stalls.
"We are still in correspondence
with Mr.. Campbell, of Columbus,
Ohio, the owner of Cresceus, the
worlds record trotting horse, and
feel reasonably certain that Cresceus
will be secured for exhibition
throughout the North Pacific Fair
Association circuit. lam confident
that the sum he demands will be
raised between the different associ-
ations of the circuit and that he
will be on exhibition at all of the
meetings. If he can be secured,
and I think he will be, he will
prove the greatest attraction the
Fair has ever produced and
we cannot afford to pass the
opportunity"
Mr.. Wisdom also said that he
understood it was Mr.. Campbell's
intention to winter Cresceus in
California. With a record of 2:024,
made at Columbus, on August 2,
1901, it is impossible for him to
secure any more match events and
he is valuable only for exhibition
and breeding purposes.-Statesman

DRINKING AND SMOKING.
Physician Declares They Are Not
Companion Vices-Inebriates Find
Little Comfort In the Weed.

1.-The prevalent idea that drinking
and smoking are companion vices is al
together wrong" said physician, who
has made special study of dipsomania,
according to the Philadelphia Record.
Il find, on the contrary that the habit
ual drunkard ia not abnormally addicted
to the use of tobacco. He may use the
weed as a lesser stimulant when not
strongly under the influence of alcohol,
but when the drink gets firmly in
trenched in his system he cares moth
ing for tobacco, for then it has last its
force and its influence upon his nerves.
Of course mean in extreme cases.
ION the other hand, it is rather curl
Gus fact that in the case of the moderate
drinker, who also smokes, the cutting
off of his supply of tobacco will in
crease his appetite for alcoholic bever-
ages, and while at first the liquor will
not affect him nearly so much as when
he is smoking, in the end it will do him
up. Consequently, it is safe to assume
that the man who always used liquor
and tobacco in moderation will, if he
gives up tobacco, take more strongly to
liquor. In fact, this is no assumption;
it has been demonstrated on numerous
occasions"

HOW A TRAMP SAWED WOOD.
Sounds of Hard Work Issued from
Shed But Sticks Were Left
Intact as Before.

Harry Sanderson, manager for Tony
not feeling particularly well, took day
off recently and remained at home.
From the window of his library, says the
New York Herald, he observed a tramp
entering his gate and he walked down to
the rear door to meet him. 1t was the
old story-a request for meal. Having
a load of unsawed wood in the shed, he
told the fellow that if he got to work
and performed on the sawbuck for a
brief period he would have something
prepared for him.
The tramp went to the shed and i'm
mediately the sound of vigorous saving
was heard, stick after stick parting I'M
der his energetic efforts. Calling the
tramp into the kitchen, Sandarson COM
plimented him upon his energy, and the
tramp replied with modest air that
whenever he had anything to do he gen.
orally paid attention to it. The meal
was eaten and the tramp expressed his
thanks and departed.
Shortly afterward Sanderson went out
to the shed and was surprised to find
every stick of wood intact Upon in
quiry in the village he ascertained that
he had been entertaining stranded ven
triloQuist, who was working his way
back to New York from Easton, Pa. The
mean chap had simply gone into the shed
and given his imitation of saving wood.

southern Ports Are Gaining.

Compared with 1901, the exports
from North Atlantic ports have de-
creased heavily. Boston lost $55, 000,-
900; New York, $24,OOO,0OO; Philadel-
phia, $6,OOO,O 900; Baltimore, $4,000, 900;
Newport News, $7,OOO,OOO, and at Nor
folk the loss was nearly 100000.
All ports further south gained. The
increase at Washington, N. c., was
$4,000, 900; at Savannah, $4,000, 900, and
Galveston, $S,OOO,OOO. Exports across
the Mexican border have increased $5,-
100000; from Pacific ports, $10,000,000,
and from the northern border and lake
ports the increase has been $4,000, 900.
In imports, however, the Atlantic sea-
board is increasing its commanding
lead. In the year 1903, out of the total
imports into the United States Of ST.
O25, 100000, 80 per cent. came in
through the Atlantic ports.

TELEGRAPH i'm Cipher.

Chinese cannot Ice telegraphed, and
to meet this difficulty cipher system
has been invented, by which messages
in that language can be transmitted
over the wires. The sender of the mes
sage has no need to trouble himself
about the meaning, and, in fact, may be
telegraphing all day without the slight
est idea of the information he is send
ing, for he transmits only numerals. 1t
is very different, however, with the re-
ceiver of the message at the other end,
as he must have code dictionary, and,
after each message is received, must
translate it, writing each literary char
acter in the place of the numeral that
stands for 1t.

SUICIDE AT EUFAULA
IRA LAMPLEY SHOOTS HIMSELF
TO DEATH.
Was a Wealthy Citizen Of East Ala
bama-Was Suffering Physical
Pain More Than He Could
Bear, it is Thought.

Eufaula. Nov. 2.-(Special. IRA Lamp
ley. who with his brother, Harmon
Lampley, composed the firm of the Lamp
ley Cotton Company here, committed sui
eide IN his private bed room this morn
ing about o'clock by shooting himself
twice in the abdomen with a pistol. Ira
l1ampley was unmarried and occupied a
private room on the second floor of the
same building in which the cotton office
Is situated and adjoining it.
When Harmon Lampley reached the
office this morning he called at his broth
er S room about o'clock and found him
apparently sleeping. Upon arousing him
and lnquiring what was the matter he re-
piled that he thought he was suffering
from cholera morbus. His brother then
asked II he wanted physician, to which
ne replied no, stating that he thought
He was then asked If he wished his break
fast. and responded yes" His brother
called negro man, an employee, and sent
Tor his breakfast. He then left his broth
er room and returned to the office.
The negro came back in about half an
hour and entered Ira Lampley's room and
announced that his breakfast was there,
put no response came. He then attempted
to arouse him, but was unable to do so.
Noticing that Mr.. Lampley looked pale
ne went to the Office and made known
the fact to his brother. When Harmon
Lampley entered the room he at once no.
ticed the death pallor on his brothers
race, and had DR.. H. l.. Brannon called
Or. Brannon upon examination PRONOUNCE
ed him dead. Upon throwing back the
cover to ascertain the cause a pistol was
found lying by his side. Further inves-
tlgatlon showed that two chambers of
the weapon were empty. The body was
then carefully examined. when II was as
certained that two shots had been fred
IN the stomach, ranging about eight inch
es apart. The wounds also showed the
effects of close range from powder burns
on his body.
Mr.. Lampley was seen on the streets
Saturday and was apparently in good
spirits and the news came as a great
shock to the entire city. Some Of his
friends say that he has been looking des-
pondent for several days and 1t is known
that he has not been In good health for
some time and the general opinion is that
he was suffering such pain this morning
that in fit of despair he committed the
rash act. Faint sounds of the pistol shots
ing, but being muffled they did not at
tract much attention.
Ira Lampley was about AZ years old and
has resided here nearly all of his life
He was one of the city's most prominent
business men and was perhaps the
wealthiest citizen in this section Of the
State. His worth Is estimated at quar-
ter of a million, over 100000 of which was
in life insurance. which he carried for
the benefit of his frother's family. 'The
death of Mr.. Lampley removes one of the
loss will be keenly felt throughout this
section His mother one brother and sis
ter and numerous relatives survive him.
The funeral will occur sometime tomor-
row from his brothers residence on Eu-
faula Street.
