Government Expects to Investigate lr'
riHation In UmatIlla.

Hgati0n In UmAtjlla.
Washington-A consultation of irri-
cation experts has been ordered at PEN
dleton to determine the merits of the
Umatilla irrigation project. The re-
elamation of between 100, 900 and 200,-
600 acres of land, lying directly west of
Pendleton, at an elevation ranging from
800 to 600 feet above the sea is consid-
cred feasible. Examination has shown
most of this land to be unpatented, and
that the Northern Pacific controls the
greater portion of the patented area.
1t has been found impracticable to di-
vert water from the Snake river, near
Riparia, and bring it onto this land, !,
and the experts will determine the
feasibility of storing the food waters of
the ~Umatilla river in a system of res
ervoirs. If it is found such system is
practicable and that dams can be con-
structed on the respective reservoir
sites, and litigation can be avoided,
such as is threatened in Malheur coun-
ty, the government will turn it's atten-
tion to Umatilla, and leave the NAL
heur project to be disposed of later.
The government is now satisfied that
one reservoir in township 8 north,
range 25 and 26 east, can be built to
hold sufficient water to rec lain $1,000
acres, but before this project is adopted,
it is desired to know how much addi-
tional land can be reclaimed by waters
stored in smaller reservoirs in that vi
cinity which can also be supplied by
food waters from Umatilla river. If
the board reports favorably on it's ex-
animation, a special effort will be
made to perfect the plans for this irri-
CATION project.

Dickering on Sheep Prices.

Pendleton-Seven eastern sheep buy
ers have just come into Umatilla coun-
ty to see if they can pick up large con-
signments to take to the middle west,
and while they are still quite a distance
apart from growers on prices their pres
ence makes thu prospect more encour-
aging in the congested sheep districts,
where it was feared sheepmen would
have to carry over all their last year
holdings, together with the spring in
crease.

PENELOPE'S PALACE.
Ruins of Home of Faithful Wife OF
Ulysses UncRrthed.

From the New York Herald.
A German archaeologist, Or. Dorp-
field, some time ago aroused storm
OF Indignation by asserting that the
island called ithaca In modern times
was not the Ithaca OF Homer. He pre-
tended by a careful study Of the Ho-
meric texts to have discovered that
the real Ithaca OF Homer, the home
OF Ulysses and Penelope, was the Is
land Of Leucadia.
The inhabitants OF ithaca we're so
exasperated that when Or. Dorpfeld
paid a visit to the island his life was
in danger. A Dutch amateur, M.
Goodkoop, to whom the arguments OF
Mr. Dorpfeld appeared convincing sup
piled him with funds to conduct ex-
cavatlons on the Island Of Leucadia,
but they gave no practical results.
Nj. Goodkoop and DR.. Dorpfeld then
disagreed. The latter maintained his
view, whereas the former decided to
have excavations made In the island OF
ithaca, which were conducted by a
Frenchman and have just given ex-
cellent results.
A number OF valuable ancient OBJ
that the island now called ithaca is
the ithaca OF Homer, as also vestiges
Of a very old palace believed to be
the very palace OF the faithful Pene-
lcpe. II contains vestiges Of Cyolopean
ramparts.
Among other interesting remains
found are
The head Of marble statue. pos
terror to the Homeric period; a small
marble statue OF good artistic work
manship. thirty centimeters high, and
representing a NEUROLOGICAL parsonage:
a quadrangular bronze table with lions
scuiptured on the legs and large hole
in the center for a bronze cup. The
cup has been found and exactly fits
the hole; an iron candlestick thirty
centineters high. two round lamps OF
very achaic form and candlestick IN
the Mycaenean style, with a head
sculptured IN the center; some Corin-
THAN coins, a bronze spoon, clay
doll and number OF very ancient
vases.

DANGERS A756S,BsEEo IN OCTOBER.

DURING the warm summer
months tho skin has been freely
throwing of the Impurities of
the body in TIM form of perspira-
ton.
TUE cool days and cooler nights
OF October, in a measure, stop
the action of the skin.
IMPURITIES which heretofore
were thrown OF by the skin,
must find some outlet. They
should be cXcretcd by the kid
ncys.
A GREAT STRAIN is thus thrown
upon the kidneys. They arc not
always prepared for this incrcas-
ed labor. They break down.
THE POISONS passing through
lSidneNs serve TO irritate them.
and this condition soon develops
into serious ailments, among
them Bright's Disease.
THE LIVER, too, acts I'm sympathy
with the kidneys. II becomes de-
ranged, causing sallow skins, de-
precision of spirits and lassitude.
AN ABNORMAL CONDITION of
the bowels also presents itself.
Constipation and other bowel
troubles result.
TUE blood becomes poisoned by
the retained cxcrctions. Pimples.
blotches, muddy compilations arc
the first result and finally the
whole system becomes deranged.
COLDS arc very easily caught dur
ing this depleted condition OF the
system.
AT THIS TIME the kidneys, liver
and bowels need little cncour-
agcment, a little assistance
that Is ALL
PE-RU-NA gives just this assist
nncc. II gently stimulates these
organs to Increased function.
Thus Pcruna guards against the
possibilities of disease.
PEOPLE INCLINED TO WEAK
NESS OF these organs ought to
be especially careful during this
month.
Al THE FIRST SIGN of disease,
such as puIiincss Under the eyes,
saIlow skin, bacLachc, colds. and
so forth. Pcruna should be taken.
III YOU NOTICE any of the above
symptoms, do not delay--buy a
bottle of peruna to-day. A bottle
OF Pcruna taken at the first
symptom win do more good than
a dozen bottles later on when
serious ailments have developed.

sTANLEY-,zITTRAUER

A pretty home wedding was that of
Mr.. George Edward Stanley to Miss
Irene Elizabeth Zittrauer, which took
place last night at the nome of the
brides mother. Mrs. E. C. Zittrauer,
on Abercorn street. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. John D. Jor-
dan, pastor of the First Baptist Church
The house was artistically decorated
with roses, ferns and palms. The
walls were festooned with wild smilax.
Wreaths of graceful vine with golden
rod outlined the doors and windows.
The nantes were banked with roses,
the exquisite flowers and wreath of
foliage combining to form most at
tractive scene.
The bride was gowned in white silk
null trimmed with real lace tucks and
shirrings, over taffeta. A novel fea-
ture of the costume was the mothers
wedding wreath of orange blossoms.
She carried a shower bouquet of
bride roses. After receiving congratu-
lations a reception was held. Quite
number of handsome presents were re-
ceived. Among the guests present

AT THE THEATER

The Village Parson," from the pen
of Mr.. w E. Nankeville, was presented
at the Savannah Theater at matinee
md evening performance yesterday.
Like all of Mr.. Nankeville's produc-
tions a strong human interest picture
is presented in THE Village Parson,"
which was well delineated by the COM
pany which appeared. Mr.. William
Norton, as the Rev. Tom Cooley and
Baby Olevia. the blind child, was es-
pecially creditable in the rendition.
Rev. Cooley, the village parson,
young and honorable above all things,
marries the daughter of a convicted
thief The wife conceals the secret
from her husband. She receives a let
ter from the father, in which he an
nounces his escape, and tells her that
unless she furnish him with money he
will expose her to her "parson hus-
band" The letter falls into the hands
of the husband, and with the sugges-
tions of a scheming lawyer who is in
love with the wife, Rev. Cooley is led
to believe that the letter is from a
lover. He does not listen to his wife's
explanation, but leaves her. She goes
TO New ork ana earns her living by
singing at a roof garden. A tramp
supposed to be the author of the fatal
letter is stabbed by a brother of the
scheming lawyer who fastens the
crime on Rev. Cooley With the as
sistance of faithful servant the man
of God escapes. Through the natural
evolution of right will prevail the
innocence of the husband is establish
ed, as is that of the wife, and they are
united, the arrest of the villain for
murder. and the general understanding
forming a fitting climax.
AL. G.. Field always believed that
the masses enjoy and should be given
the opportunity to hear the very best
music of the greatest masters, as well
as the lighter compositions. Burt Cut
ler's concert band, one of the best or
CARNATIONS of this character travelling,
has been engaged in its entirety this
seastn. During the recent tours of the
AL. a.. Field Greater Minstrels, Burt
Cutler's band has been a most impor-
tant factor in the success of this or
ganization. Each member of the band
is a musician of ability. In the mat
ter of selecting his programmes Mr..
Cutler has the happy faculty of choos-
ing compositions which appeal to all.
Free concerts will be given at II a.
IN. by this splendid organization, and
as a military band, the rafting quick
steps it plays during parade cannot
be surpassed. The AL. G. Fields Min
streIs will appear here tomorrow,
matinee and evening.

There was certainly a time long ago
when living creatures were not blessed
with eyes In creatures now living up
on the earth we may trace a series Of
eyes from the highest and most eff

stand for the first and the eye-spot OF
the amphioxus or the eight sense
germs Of jellyIish for the other ex-
treme of the series.
The amphioxus is a little worm or
fish-like creature which most of the
time lives buried in the sand of our
seashores. He IL interesting and inn
portant out of all proportion TO his
SIZE two inches, for he is one Of the
lowiiest creatures to be honored with

no brain, but near the front end of the
thin thread Of nerve Nhe foreshadow-
