with the Umatilla county society,
would hold the annual picnic at Walla
Walla, and next year the picnic would
be held in Athena 1t appears that
the Walla Walla society has not been
equal to the occasion and that If the
Umatilla society does not take the
matter up the picnic will go glim-
mering.
There will be a meeting of the UNA
tilla County CALIFORNIAN society in
Athena next Saturday night, at which
time the matter will come up for dis
cussion. Several members of the So
ciety have already spoken in terms
favorable to going ahead and holding
the picnic Should it be decided to do
so, the picnic, necessarily to making
and securing attractions
will have to be held in the latter part
of June instead of May, but it is con-
sidered that the change in the time OF
giving the picnic will be an advantage
and not a detriment, for, as a rule, bet
ter weather prevails during the month
of June than in May.

REPORT THAT ENGINEERS WILL
SOON BE IN THE LEWISTON
COUNTRY AGAIN
May Mean That Surveys of Line Into
the WaIIowa Country From Athena
Will Be Completed.

A report has reached Walla Walla
from Lewiston to the effect that the
Northern Pacific and o. r. & N. en-
gineers would soon again be in the
that a decision had been reached by
the great railroad interests that the
work is to be started at an early date
on the lewiston Riparia branch line
and branch line into the prairie
country.
Immediately after the withdrawal of
the engineers from the field six weeks
ago, Lewiston and Grangeville people,
determined to have a railroad between
those two points, began an active cam
paign for funds with which to con-
struct the proposed electric line 1t is
now believed that the two railroad in
terests realize that nothing snort of
the actual carrying out Of the plans
formulated several years ago for con-
structing steam road into the pria-
RE country, will head off an independ-
ent electric line, which if once con-
structed and put into operation, would
prove a serious menace to both the
Northern Pacific and O.. r. & N. in
terests.
This being the case it is believed
now that both the o. r. & N. and N.
p. will carry out in the near future
these plans and will place engineers
in the field with instructions to COM
plete the work which was started in
such a hurry early in the year and
which was just as hurriedly stopped
a few weeks later when the Hill and
Hartman interests reached an under
standing regarding territory.
If such decision mas been reached
it is barely possible that the Northern
Pacific will put engineers in the field
again to complete the surveys for an
extension Of the W. & c.. R. from Athe-
ma through the Blue mountains into
the Wallowa country. This work was
started and partially completed two
months ago by Engineer W. G. Sayles
and force of surveyors. When the

COLOR SERGEANT SUICIDES
Takes Laudman and Cuts Artery to
Make Sure of Job.

Takes Laudman and Cuts Artery to
Make Sure Of Job.
VANCOUVER, May lin a fit of
temporary insanity, Sergeant Samuel
S. Omohondro, color sergeant of the
Nineteenth infantry committed sui
eide in mis- quarters at Vancouver bar
racks. He first took a dose of four
ounces of laudanum, and, finding that
this was not effective, severed the ar
teries of his left wrist, using a pocket
knife for this purpose. The fit of de-
ted was the result of nervous exhaus-
ton, due to watching over an invalid
wife during the past few months.
About 4 o'clock in the morning he re-
tired to his bathroom, telling his
daughter that he would take a bath
to refresh himself. After remaining
there for some time in a dying condi-
ton, he returned to his room and in
formed his daughter of what he had
zone. Assistance was summoned
from neignboring officers, but by the
time this had arrived the unfortunate
man had bled to death.
Sergeant Omohondro had been in the
army about 25 years, and with the
credit for extra time due a soldier for
service in foreign lands would have re-
tired from active service with pay
income of $50 per month in a little
more than one year. He was a native
of Virginia, and about As years of age.
He first enlisted in the Nineteenth in
fantry and with the exception of three
years with the Sixteenth, has served
his entire time with the Nineteenth.
He had an unusually honorable record
as soldier and while in the island of
Cebu with his regiment held several
important positions, some of these be-
ing duties seldom entrusted to an en-
listed man. At one time at Balamban
he was detailed as acting captain OF
the port and collector of revenue.
He leaves an invalid wife and one
daughter He was a member of the
Riverside lodge, I. o. o. F., of Detroit,
Mich.
