The American farmer is the greatest man
in the world to-day because he is master OF
the soil-he is gaining in intelligence quite
as rapidly as his products are increasing in
magnitude. Our recent combines of capital
in United States measured in money are
enormous vet such figures sink into insig-
nihcance when compared to the money,
brain and Drawn invested in agricultural
industries. For instance, the farmers OF
Minnesota and Dakota have received $780,
600 600 for their products in. a single year.
The farmer knows what Nature will bring
forth for him from his experience in the
past He knows il certain seeds are
planted and properly cared for that Nature
will take care of the rest. In the same
way yon are master Of Jour otOn destiny.

For attempting the life of Edward
Leroy, Ira d. Horton, a negro, was
this morning sentenced to four years
in the state penitentiary. The prison.
ell was arrested on a charge of assault
with intent to commit murder, but
was allowed to plead guilty to assault
with dangerous weapon. Horton
attacked Leroy with a razor, inflict-
ing wounds that came near proving
fatal.
Joseph Wilson, who pleaded guilty
to charge of assault with intent to
rob. was sentenced to three and one
half years in the penitentiary.
George Gordon, convicted of lar
ceny from a dwelling, was sentenced
to serve two years in the state prison.
Leonard Stumbaugh, who pleaded
guilty to a charge of obtaining goods
by false pretenses, will be sentenced
tomorrow.
$. Yano, a Japanese section hand
who pleaded guilty to assault with a
dangerous weapon, may escape with a
Jail sentence. The district attorney
recommended mercy, and the court
took the matter under advisement
until next Monday morning.
Dunn Is Guilty.
a. r. Dunn, on trial yesterday af-
ternoon for the crime of larceny from
the person, was found guilty, with a
recommendation for mercy from the
jury. The jury deliberated on the
case all night.
A strong attempt was made by the
defense in the case to impeach the
testimony of William Brummett, the
prosecuting witness, and evidence
was introduced to show that he lost
his money while gambling with Dunn
and another man, instead of having
his pocket picked. This question
evidently caused a division among the
jurymen, and resulted in a compro-
mise verdict.
Ditty OH Trial Today.
George Ditty, charged with the lar
ceny of horse belonging to David
McCarty, is on trial today and his
case marks the last jury matter for
the present term of court. Col. ]. H.

In examining the jurors Col. Raley
asked of Ambrose Winn, the last man
called: "Are you a brother of B. F.

firmative, and he was Immediately
accepted.

AS TO THE LEE STREET BRIDGE
At Present Is Safe, But Is Growing
Risk.


The Lee street bridge is safe as it
now stands, according to the report
of viewers who inspected It yesterday.
but they fear that further supports
placed under 1t would interfere with
river space. Robert Forster and H.
h. Cook, the viewers, submitted their
report at the session of the council
last night Following is the report:
According to your instructions we
have examined the Lee street bridge
and find 1t safe as it stands with the
many supports under it, but as the
bridge becomes weaker more supports
must be put under 1t to keep it up.
By putting these in you take away the
river space and then, should high
water come. these would be washed
out and whenever this happens you
are liable, not only to lose the Lee
street bridge, but the Main street
bridge as well. We would recommend
that in rebuilding this bridge it be
built with three spans instead OF
two"
Aside from the filing of the report
little business was transacted.
A liquor license was granted F. X.
Schempp and sewer license to t. C.
Taylor.
Councilmen present last night were
Johnson, Dickson. Murphy, Wells,
Rem and Ferguson.

That winter irrigation pays, even
in the rain belt of the Grand Ronde
valley, has been demonstrated beyond
any doubt by the members of the
Amalgamated Sugar company, at La
Grande.
F. S Bramwell manager of beet
fields for the La Grande sugar fac
tory, has written Colonel r. c. Jud-
son. industrial agent of the o. r. &
NJ, the following almost sensational
letter, giving actual results of win
ter irrigation on a sandy tract near
the city of La Grande.
The land in question is light. sandy
soil, exactly like thousands of acres
in the Butter creek district, which can
be flooded in winter while not a drop
of water is available for it in the
summer season.
This letter is worthy of deep study
and consideration by Butter Creek
farmers who have land that is not
yet seeded to alfalfa. The result OF
beet raising on arid land, as given
mere, SnOulu encourage lne people OF
this county to grow beets until fac
tory is built here for them. The right
kind of an effort will bring the fac
tory here. Mr.. Bramwelrs letter is
as follows:
La Grande, Or, Jan. 3, 05.
Col. r. c. Judson, Portland, Or.
My Dear Colonel:-I beg to give
you the information asked for as to
my experiments in the matter of
winter irrigation" and it gives me
great pleasure to do this for the rea-
son that l am able to give you such
glowing reports.
Two winters ago 1 found a farm
that to me seemed ideal beet land,
but for which no water, or at least
very little water could be had except
ing during the early spring. 1 put
a man on this farm (Which lies about
three miles southeast from this city,
and we partially filled the soil with
water, but my man kept at me that
1 was drowning" the land and that
the beets would fail to make.
l told him that it might be we
would loose a little of the low lands

GALLONS MOVED TO POOR FARM
Has Lain In Court House Basement
Since Hanging of Zorn.

From a machine of death to fur
nishing material for the erection of a
lien house on poor farm, is the fate
of the old scaffold that has lain for
a decade in the basement of the coun-
ty court house. This morning a
teamster from the county poor farm
loaded up the ordinary looking planks
and timbers that have such a grue-
some history and, using the old trap
for seat, clattered away.
The scaffold was built for the hang
ing of Frederick Zorn, wife mur-
derer and the last criminal to pay the
death penalty in Umatilla county
This was under Sheriff w. j. Furnish.
After the hanging the gallows we're
taken apart and stored away. But
all hangings now take place at the
state penitentiary, and new chicken

ONE THOUSAND
FUMIGiTIONS
MADE
This is the Estimate of the Work
Which Has Been Done in
Pensacola

A conservative estimate of the
fumigations made since the outbreaks
of the yellow fever in Pensacola, is
1000. This work is under the super
vision of Drs. Kennedy and D'Alem
berte, and has been confined princi-
pally to the infected districts.
The reports of the physicians,
which are made daily to the state
health officer give this result. 1t
does not signify that one thousand
residences have been visited but that
this is the number of fUmigations
have been made. In a number of in
stances one house has been fumigat-
ed as many as four times, where N
a large number of cases two and
three fumigations would be made.
The reports Of the work accomplish
ed show that the fumigating force
has been kept exceedingly busy since
the outbreak of the disease.
Physicians Must Report.
DR.. Porter stated last night that
hereafter he wanted the physicians IF
the city to report all of their yellow
fever cases at the earliest OppOrtun-
ity, in order that the fumigating
corps might be notified to proceed
to the infected house at once and
fumigate.
