Of the room he had Just vacated, and an
examination having been made it was

swAUGER's BUNDLES LOST.
North Fork Man Killed by Train Had
Bought Four Pairs of SHOES.

One of the pathetic phases of the
tragic story of the horrible death of
Seymour Swauger under the wheels

Saturday, is the fact that while in the
city Friday evening. before starting
on his fatal trip home, he bought
four pairs of shoes for his children.

pretty cold for bare feet on Meacham
creek.
None of these bundles have yet
been found and have probably been
carried to the end of the road, in
the car in which Swauger was riding
When last seen he had an arm full of
bundles for the family. and so far as
is known none of them have been
located.
The aged mother of the unfortunate
man is prostrated with the terrible

Pendleton precinct does not object
to noise II ii is of the quiet kind;
neither does it care much about dust.
so long as it is the good old Umatilla
county article. but the residents of
that portion of the city are up in
arms against a carpet cleaning estab-
fishment in their neighborhood. Last
night Attorney j. T. Hinkle appeared
before the city council and presented
petition signed by 90 residents of
Pendleton precinct. praying that the
alleged nuisance be abated.
In the course of its remarks con-
corning why the carpet cleaning
plant should be abated, the petition
reads: 1T is extremely noisy and
dusty; not such noise as would ordi-
narily be heard from running ma
chinery. but an excruciating nerve
racking, jerky, humping, ceaseless
and soul-damning noise; not dusty in
the sense of good old-fashioned and
honest Umatilla county dust. but
subtle. penetrating, never settle, mi
crobe-laden. death-d dealing dust. per-
vading the atmosphere and carving
in its train all the terrors of thous-
and plaques.
THE undersigned petitioners most
humbly, earnestly and respectfully
beg and pray of your honorable body
that you will take immediate steps
to abate this most grievous nuisance
in the interests of womanhood. child
hood. of Christianity and the. sacred
ties of home and family"
With a smile, the honorable coun-
Gil referred the petition to the street
committee with power to act.
Chairman Dickson presided at last
nights session of the city council with
the full board present with the ex-
ception of Councilman Sewell. Little
business of Importance was transact

that conditions in that country are

the cattle prospects are not up to

all the rest of the cattle men are dis
satisfied with present prices. and
hardly consider that it is an advan-

ready for the markets. on account
of the great abundance of feed, the
cattlemen would be better satisfied
were their cattle all stockers, with a

DON'T LIKE WET CLIMATE

the Best I'm the Coast States.

the Best I'm the Coast States.
Roy Briggs, who has cattle interests
IN Page county, Iowa. has just arriv-
ed, coming from the west, having
taken a trip through California,
Western Oregon and the Sound coun-
try.
California is overdone badly for
a man who only has few thousand
dollars. Western Oregon is alto
gether too damp, and the Sound
country simply has an abominable
climate. I have found but one dis
frict in the coast states that seems TO
compare favorably with what | can
learn of Umatilla county, and that is
the Upper Willamette valley and the
advantage then seems to be one of
climate only, and Industrial conditions
In the Upper willamette are very.
very slow"
This is Mr.. Briggs synopsis of his
Impressions OF the coast states. An
old friend, Ozrow Miller, now a resi-
dent of Occur d'Alene. will meet him
here tomorrow, and he expects to
look over the entire Palouse coun-
try before returning East, besides
putting in a couple OF weeks in this
county after returning from the Coeur

makes up for any discrepancies in the
plot.

few of them. The Keiths will be in

viewing our business men last Tues
day on the subject of an electric road
between Cresco and Mason City. They
are men of large experience in con-
structing, building and bonding elec-
trio lines. They estimate that line
running to Mason City would cost
when thoroughly equipped from sl2, 00C
to $4,000 per mile. In their opinion
the line could be bonded for so per
cent of the cost, leaving 20 per cent
to be subscribed locally. They went
to Mason City by team. via Elma and

of such line at ansearly date and
later will make proposition relative
to building the road if found feasible.
