1000 TONS OF BEET PULP.
StOckmen VIII Fatten Cattle ON ii for
Early Spring Market.

over 1000 tons of beet pulp remain
from the two months run of the La
Grande factory this year, and already
stockmen are contracting for the pulp
as feed.
One-third of the weight of the beets
is comprised in the pulp. and the
continued tests of this residue as a
fat producer has convinced Grand
Rp7de stockmen that it is a cheap
ed rich feed. when mixed with hay
and a small amount of grain.
Jeff Bull. of La Grande. Brown and
Profit. of Baker City. and ]. A. Rus
sell, of Island City, have practically
contracted for all the pulp produced
this season. and will feed several
hundred head of cattle near the fac
tory. for the early spring market.
Cattle must be educated TO eat the
pulp. as many OF them refuse TO
touch it at first After it passes
through a process of heating or fer
mentation. the fat producing quali-
ties increase, and tons of il is shipped
TO North Powder. Baker City. Hunt
ington and other points as feed for
dairy cows and calves.

Crops. Revival OF Lumber
Trade. and Oriental Shipments
Mostly Responsible for the Conges-
tiOn of Freighi-Sixty Engine Crews
Are Working ON the Mountain Di-

mental Lines the Same.

1t is estimated that orders for 5000
cars which cannot be filled have been
received by the o. r. & y. system.
Never in the history of the road has
there been such heavy shipments of
freight. both local and foreign. Every
available car is in use. loads are being
rushed over the line and the empties
hurried back. more rapidly than ever
before.
The enormous amount of Oriental
freight going east. the unusual ship
ments of Oregon wheat and flour to
the east and the revival OF the lum-
ber trade on the Sound. all add to the
cOngested traffic. Double yard crews
are working at Umatilla to handle
the immense freight business at the
junction of the Washington and Ore
gon divisions. and at every terminal
along the line, trains are made up and
hurried on as never before. Nineteen
freight crews are working out of La
Grande. 90 engine crews on the noun
tain division are battling with the
unending succession of trains and
helper forces have been increased TO
hurry the traffic over the mountains.
The o. R. & n. is not alone rushed
with the heavy traffic. but all the
other transcOntinental lines are en-
joying the same immense business.
heretofore it has been possible for
western roads TO borrow almost any
number of cars for the fall rush.

stock company career, as far back as
1851.
Hundreds OF the older residents OF
the city remember her as she was in
those days of more than half a cen
fury ago, and for many Of these she
has been the only attraction that
would take them 10 the theaters dur
ing the last 25 years. One Of these,
in commenting on the death Of the
aged actress, said that while he did
not now approve Of the theater as he
did in former years, he always made
an exception to his rule to remain
away from them when Mrs. Gilbert
was in the city. There were many OF
these older residents, some of whom
had seen Mrs. Gilbert make her debut
in stock company work in 1851. at
Powers theater on the night of the
opening of her farewell engagement.
When she appeared before the curtain
at the close of the last act and recited
that old-fashioncd epilogue which be-
gan with the lines:
Dear friends in front, The curtain must rot
fall
Until a grateful woman says good-by to all.
Just think of all the kindness that I've got
Of youl
I'd ike to he the granny Of tie lot Of YOU.
there was not a dry eye among all
these old friends.
To the stage people. old and young,
Mrs. Gilbert was always Granny"
and they spoke of her with a rever-
ence that showed their affection. She
had no blood relatives, the last OF the
family, a son, having died several
years ago, but she needed nole to be
truly m%ourned. for hers was a family
that extended throughout all the
broad field of %stageland.
She was SO years cd the 2lst OF last
October. and had been on the stage
since 1916, when she appeared as a
ballet girl in England, She came to
America in iS49, and though CT inter-
national fame as an actress. this was
the first season that she played star
parts.

MAY BOTTLE THE ATLANTIC
Water Contains Wholesome Mineral
Salts of a Decided Medic
inal Value.

Il have never understood, said a dec
tor to a New York Sun man, why sOme-
body didn't bottle the Atlantic ocean
and sell the water under a fine name
as a mineral water.
The water of the Atlantic contains
some of the most wholesome mineral
salts, and has a decided value medicinal
". Some Of my patients keep ii on
hand much of the time, and profess to
find it vastly beneficial.
'One Of these men gets the sea water
several miles off shore and at high tide
so as to be reasonably sure that ii is free
from pollution. He bottles it in good
sized demijohns, and lets it ripen much
as the famous juniper water Of the
Dismal Swamp is ripened for carrying
to sea on board vessels making long
voyages.
Did you ever smell any of those Ken
lucky sulphur waters after they have
lain barreled in a cellar for a few weeks?
The odor is pretty bad, but itisn't worse
lItll tIldl vi liptIlliS sea NhtFls
when You take out the cork the
whole household knows it. After q
while the sea water loses its offensive
smell, and then it Is ready for use.
81 thoroughly like it, and if | were in
the habit of doing the things that lead
men to drink mineral waters before
breakfast | think I'd prefer plain Atlars
tic water to a good many that ! co-ld
name which sell at pretty high prices.
Il don't know whether my patients
have ever calculated the cost of bottled
Atlantic, but if the bottling was done
wholesale instead of retail ii ought not
to come very high, and it is certainly
one thing that no trust could ever
%monopolize, I've a notion that the fell
low who first puts up sea water in an
attractive form and gets the attention
of the public will make a handsome
little fortune before his competitors can
cut in and undersell or outadvertise
him.
