The brick to be used are to be the
largest size, which is three and one
fourth inches wide. The pavement is to
be laid on six inches of concrete as a
foundation. Asphalt is to be used as a
filler between the bricks, as it is be-

much less noisy. The asphalt will al

is put in soft. A natural Utah asphalt

Where asphalt is not used between the
bricks, it is necessary to lay expansion
strips of asphalt an inch wide, and as

HAD TO HIDE 1T

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and key
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
so good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it so
much-they know it makes
them feel good.

UNIQUE SCHEME BEING EN-
PLOYED ON THE ANDERSON.
SINkLER LANDS.
Dyked and Then Flooded to Wash Out
tho AlkaIi-M. M. Viii.
Iiams Explains.

Excellent success in freeing lands
along the Walla Walla river in the vi
cinity of Lowden station of alkali de-
posits and putting them in condition
to grow alfalfa and other hay crops in
abundance, is being met with by M. M.
Williams who has charge of the An
derson- Singler company's land inter-
est in that vicinity The plan adopted
by Mr. Williams for retaining land
that under normal conditions is hard
ly fit for more than raising sage
brush is to dyke the land and floor it
with water from six to eight inches
deep. Mr.. Williams, who was in Wal
la Walla yesterday said he has about
10 acres of the Anderson Sinkler land
under water now and within two weeks
he will have 80 acres of his own land
in that vicinity dyked ready for water.
Wash the AIkaIi Out.
I'VE have found it an easy matter to
rid land of alkali deposits by simply
flooding it several times" Mr.. Williams
said describing the manner in which
the work is carried on. "a small dyke
about a foot high thrown up out of the
soil is first constructed Water is then
ditched in until the land to be reclaim
ed is flooded from six to eight inches
deep We find that water will soak up
the alkali deposits at a rapid rate and
by simply changing the water a few
times land that is almost valueless
otherwise is reclaimed and put into con-
dition to grow alfalfa and other hay
crops as abundantly as the finest alfa!-
ia land in the valley The lands that
we are now retaining lie along the
Walla Walla river and water used in
flooding them is obtained from the

dyked and ready for water in the vici-
nifty of the Anderson Sinkler lands
Great Alfalfa Country
The Walla Walla river district is be-
coming one of the best hay producing
sections in the valley and in conse-
uuence one of t7'n important winter
feeding grounds for stockmen in south
eastern Washington This is evidenced
by the fact that this winter more than
5000 cattle will be fed in the Walla
Walla river and Hudson Bay districts
which are contiguous to each other
Lands that for years have been given
over to sage brush and used prin-
cipally for spring feeding grounds are
being reclaimed and put under the
ditch water being secured for irriga-
ton purposes from the Walla Walla
river and numerous small streams that
are flowing through that section of the
country Irrigation in small way has
been carried on for several years by
farmers along the Walla Walla but I'M
til the Anderson Sinkler interests de-
monstrated that the alkali lands could
be successfully worked little effort was
made to reclaim the lands impregnated
with alkali Land freed of alkali de-
posits by flooding last year are now
growing fine crops Of alfalfa and are
worth SIS to 500 an acre Mr. Ander-
son has associated with him several

STATES ARE ORGANIZING
OF PACIFIC STATES MEETS
WITH FAVOR
Chambers of Commerce and CONNER
ciaI Clubs Preparing to Get in
Line end Boost"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.-Co-Op-
Grafton is the watchword by which the
Pacific States region will extend it's in
f1uence and prestige. The movement
to bring the Pacific states, Oregon,
California, Washington, Idaho, Nevada,
Utah, and the territory of Arizona into
harmonious and combined effort for
progress is meeting with great favor
and is being favorably commented upon
by the press and public of the Pacific
states. The commercial bodies of
those of the Pacific states which are
not already organized into a state GEN.
tral body are taking steps to bring
about this important result and when
this is plished-which promises
to be in the not distant future-the
state commercial bodies will all work
together into one central association
representing the whole Pacific states
region
The central association will be built
upon sound lines 1t will represent the
highest type of unpOlitical cO-ope-
rative work for progress in the history
of the west The hundreds and even
thousands of men VINO will be brought
together in ideas or in association
through this central body are the men
who support the commercial Organiza-
tons and are numbered among the
men who have hope for the west Their
effort is unSelfiSh for they share re-
suits with the rest of the community
The state commercial organizations
in turn are representative Of the spirit
of cooperative effort in the several
states They mean that all the COM
mercial bodies in any one of the Pacific
states have gotten together" and are
working with united effort through an
established organization which pro-
vides the machinery for effective work
on a business like basis Even the
moral support which one section of
state Or one city in a state may re-
ceive from all other portions of that
commonwealth has a tremendous COM
mercial value A spirit of helpfulnesS
in state existing between the diff
ferent regions enhances the opinion in
which it is held throughout the world
ana has a value not measurable on
commercial basis BY organization this
spirit finds a proper outlet in vigorous
and continued action
The different chambers of commerce
and other commercial bodies are rap
idly preparing for combined state effort
and the whole Pacific states region will
be in better position than at any time
in it's history to take advantage of the
attention now focused upon it

FOR ORPHANS HOME
Arkansas Masons Will Establish One
Soon.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. 21.-The
annual meeting of the Masonic grand
lodge of Arkansas, which convened
mere today, is one Of the most import
for many years 1t also means re-
sumption of the annual sessions. For
six years, by a special provision of the
grand lodge, biennial sessions We're
held as a matter of economy, that the
money might be used in discharging
the obligations due to the masonic tenn
pie. BY this means the board of con-
troll will be enabled at the meeting.
which opened today, to lift the debt of
$4,000 still remaining on the temple
and to have a balance of about $2O,O00
to form a nucleus of an orphans home
fund.
There are two important matters to
be considered at this meeting OF the
GRAND lodge, that of the establishment
of an orphans home and an amendment
to the constitution providing for bien'
NAL sessions for period of ten years.
It is believed that there will be favor
able action upon both matters, as they
are correlative and are close to the
hearts of the masons of Arkansas. The
biennial meetings are for the purpose
of accommodating a fund through the
saving of the mileage and per diem and
other grand lodge expenses to be APP
piled to the Orphans Home fund.
There is a strong sentiment in favor
of establishing the home in this city.

the attraction will be Mr.. E.
Spoford's superb production of
GA Human Slave" a timely and
up-to-date melodrama in four
acts, from the pen of William L.
Roberts. In these days of many
melodrama productions, it is the
exception rather than the rule to
find anything novel and original
in this class of entertainment, but
it can be truthfully said OF IA
Human Slave" that it possesses
elements SO thrilling and so inter
woven with intense human in
terest, that it is one of the most
remarkable dramas of its class
ever written.
There is no subject more up
permost in the public mind at
the present time than the great
ethical questions of capital and
labor. While GA Human Slave"
does not by any pedantic disser-
tation attempt to define these
rights, the story of the play,
however, shows the treatment ac-
corded honest working men by
certain class of: employees. One
of the greatest scenes ever pro-
duced on any stage is the rolling
mill scene in GA Human Slave"

A NEW DISCOVERY.
A Base for Find Perfumery Saws
Chemist,

Almost everything can be turn
ed into source of profit and
convenience to man if the latter's
ingenuity, patience and perse-
verance can but get control OF
some of natures secrets. One of
the latest things we have heard
of is the use to which the sage
brush of the arid districts is to
be put, as the following in the
Baker City Democrat will show :
May IS. N. E. Imbaus. who
for years has been the manager
for French syndicate owning
|th Flagstaff mine near Baker
City, patented a process for ex,
tracing an oil from sage brush
which is used as the basis of
commercial perfumeries of high
grade. In making this extrac-
tion pulp is formed from which
paper of good qualitysis made.
Mr.. Imbaus' letters patent prom
ise to be exceedingly valuable
and if he puts either one or both
products on the market there will
be revolution in commercial
circles. Everybody knows that
they pay a. very high price per
once for high grade perfumery
and that the products they buy
are not all essence of the scent
named on the bottle. Only a
drop or two of violet, for in
stance, is put in an ounce of
some base oil to make a bottle
of violet perfume. This base oil
itself is very rare and valuable
and this is what Mr.. Imbaus has
secured.
The commercial world knows
that paper of all grades is getting
to be valuable commodity aud
that the material from which it
IS made is growing scarcer every
year. Wood pulp is becoming a
scarce article in the United States
on account of theerapid destruc-
ton of the kind of trees from
which it is composed. AS re-
sult common news paper has ad-
vanced at high percentage dur
ing the past two years.
The first sheet of paper ever
made from sage brush is now on
exhibition in the First National
Bank in Baker City. This is OF
a yellowish tinge, but there is a
sample in Paris that is pure white
!, and of good quality.
Whether the production OF the
perfunlerv oil and the manufac-
ture of the paper of a by-product
shall become a regular industry
depends upon whether the cost
OF production can be reduced. 1
the problem can be met and mas.
tered farmers will be planting
sage brush il their irrigated
, fields.

George McMiIIen Drowned.

One day last week Judge W.
S. McFadden, of this city, was
summoned to his farm near
Junction because o. the unac-
countable absence of George Nc
Millen. The latter was missing
and there was considerable anx-
1ety over what had happened,
the fear that he was dead being
maintained. This theory, alas!
was correct, for the man had
been drowned. Mr.. McMillen
was employed by Judge McFad-
den. A dispatch from Junction,
October Fl, throws light on the
subject and is as follows:
George McMillen was drowned
in the Willamette river about
one mile above the railroad
bridge. Mr.. McMillen was
working for Judge w. S. McFad-
den on his farm east Of town.
Last Tuesday he took a horse
and was going to ford fork OF
the river to an island, where Mr..
McFadden keeps some of his
stock during the summer months
and drive the stock home. He
did not return, and his family
became worried, but they made
ne inquiry about him to their
neighbors until yesterday, when
McMillen's horse was found in
the woods, near the river, with
the saddle hanging under the
horse's belly. It was thought
that he must have drowned, and
a search was made for his body
where the tracks of the horse
were found coming out of the
water, and after dragging the
river for few minutes the body
was found and brought to the
surface and taken to his home or
the McFadden farm. Mr.. Nc
Millen leaves a vile and three
children.
