WALLOWA is BOOMING.
Prospects of Railroad Send Land
Prices Soaring.

Wallowa is all excited over the road
situation, says H. T. Booth, the prom
inent insurance man who has just re-
turned from a trip through that coun-
try. Land values are soaring high
intense. Everybody is trying to get in
on the ground floor for the big rush
of business which will come with the
construction of the road.
THE people over there are certain
ly excited" said Mr.. Booth to the Ba-
ker City Herald. They are either
buying or selling real estate just like
frenzied financiers. Land values are
Increasing rapidly and sales are enor-
nous, the same piece of land chang
ing hands as many as three or four
times in one day. 1t is one of the
greatest booms l have ever seen, and
strongly resembles mining rush.
Outside people are coming in the
section with money to invest and
every stage brings number of these
new men into the country. That Is
helping in the boom and l tell you
things are lively over there, AS to
the railroad there is no longer any
doubt about it. The o. R. & n. will
build and perhaps another road will
enter the country also. The o. r. &
N, people were through there the
other day with Prof.. II. T. French OF
the University of Idaho, VINO "u s,
checking up the agricultural co...
tions and giving estimates OF the
amount of traffic which could be ex-
pected.
When this road enters Wallowa II
will be one of the richest and most
prosperous regions in the state 1t Is
a great country, but the growth mas
been retarded on account of the lack
of transportation"

Cream Supply Improving.

c. c. Berkeley, one of the chief
cream producers patronizing the Blue
Mountain creamery, was in the city
from his excellent dairy farm today
and reports the cream supply In
tr4asing owing to the good character
of the feed which he supplies Tor ms
cows. He is feeding drilled corn
which is now mature and which
stands from six to 10 feet in height
While the extremely dry weather was
on the cream supply diminished per-
ceptibly, but it is now on the increase
and will continue to increase during
the remainder of the season MI
Berkeley is enthusiastic over the corn
crop drilled in last spring on MS
farm. Drilled corn produces more
feed and better dairy feed than any
other crop he thinks, and next year
will plant it extensively He is alsc
surprised that more people in the Vi
cinity of Pendleton, do not milk FOL

Pioneer Stage Driver Dead.

l.. c. Scovell, familiarly known as
Cal" Scovel, one of the first stage
drivers to enter the state of oregon,
died at Salem Monday night, aged 10
years. He came from Iowa to Benton
county. Ore, in 1853. and in 1854 be-
gan driving stage for Dave Thompson
between Corvallis and Oregon City,
and when the Oregon-California line
was put in operation In 1850 he was
the first driver to take a stage out of
cortland on that route and continued
to drive there for a number of years.
His most famous escapade was to car
ry Henry w. Corbett from Portland
to Salem one stormy night during the
legislatice session of 1858 when Cor
belts services were badly needed at
the capital. 1t was one of the historic
drives in the annals of oregon staging
and scovell was always proud to tell
the story

According to reports circulated this
afternoon the saloon men of Pendle-
ton will present the draft of a Sunday
closing ordinance at the council meet
ing tonight and ask for its adoption
by that body. 1t is said that the or
dinance has been drawn up during the
day, and that it provides for the clos
ing of practically every form of busi-
ness on Sunday, making II impossi-
BILE for a drug store to do anything
more than to fill prescriptions, or for
a bakery to sell anything but bread
1t is said that the reason for desir-
ing such an ordinance passed by the
council is to make sure that all other
business places are closed if the sa-
looms are to be forced to obey the
Sunday closing law. Apparently, it is
feared that this may not be done
under the state law, as by it, drug
stores, bakeries, meat markets and
some other places are allowed to re-
main open. Nor are they restricted
by the law to the sale of any partic-
ular part of their lines, consequently
it would appear that they may con-
tinue business as usual. When asked
in regard to this subject this morn
ing, District Attorney Phelps said that
the law did not limit such places to
the sale of any particular part of their
stocks, nor have any decisions ever
been given on this point However,
he stated that it was his intention to
construe the law in a strict sense,
and he would order all manner of
business houses closed if complaint
be made.
Asked if any complaint had yet
been made regarding other places
than saloons, the district attorney re-
piled that there had been none made
yet but that there would be.
Should the council be asked this
evening to pass such an ordinance as
the above it will doubtless be because
of the fear that the entire town can
not be closed under the state law.
Whether or not the council will see fit
to pass such an ordinance, remains to
be seen,

Harry Lowell, the printer, Journal
list and adventurer who invaded the
plethoric treasury of the Weston Lead
er to the extent of about $40 during
the absence of Editor Clark Wood at
the st. Louis fair last fall, has been
caught in the act of robbing a saloon
cash register at Colfax, and is now in

Lowell has been working as bar

Rufus Haggard. which is said to be

crime, but said If given time he would

An information will be filed against
him for embezzlement and he will be
tried at the next term of circuit court
in Whitman county.
Lowell. or Haggard, was employed
by Clark Wood to edit and issue
the Weston Leader last fall, while Mr..
Wood visited the st. Louis fair, and
after working a week or so Lowell
passed several bogus checks, secured
a suit of clothes and left town. regard
less of the responsible duties that
awaited him in the Leader office.
He was seen in Walla Walla after
he left Weston, but was never appre-
hended. He has been in Colfax for
the past four months, most of this
time being employed as bartender. 1t
is probable that he will be brought
back to Umatilla county to answer for
his crime at Weston, after he serves
his sentence for embezzlement in
Washington, should he be convicted.

Reports from Pendleton are to the

that he will not be captured for fear
of the results in case he is convicted

this city who say that while the neigh

FOR Rheumatism.-Salt is said to be-
an excellent remedy for rheumati if
taken regularly in glass of cold
water before breakfast.
For Hoarseness.-If you are hoarse
lemon juice squeezed on to soft sugar
TIL 1t is like syrup, and few drops Of
glycerine added, relieves the hoarse-
ness at once.
For Cuts.-Always have a small bot.
tie of glycerine and carbolic acid To-
ton In your house. Apply to any cut.
scratch or abrasion which any of the
family may come by. II used at once.
IT Is powerful antiseptic, and one
cannot be too careful, even over the
slightest break Of the skin.
Faintness.-Throw cold water in the
face and apply smelling-salts to the
nostrils. Loosen clothes. Keep the
patient In a recumbent position, and
give much pure air. In applying salts
take care not to hold the bottle for any
length Of time close to the nostrils OF
an unconscious person. Keep the bot.
tie moving to and fro.
A Useful Hint.-Save old bandboxes
OF the oval shape, for in cases of q
broken ankle, govt In the foot, etc., this
ts an excellent substitute for the foot
cradles supplied in hospitals. II the
bottom Lis carefully cut out the band
box will last several days, and save the
invalid much inconvenience from thu

The Simple Life in Reality.-Dia
betes was never known among tn,
Mexican people of the southwest
doubtless largely due to the healthy
open air, natural life they have Away
led. Their diet was plain and plenti
full, consisting largely Of dried beef
with plenty Of chile, tortillas, frijoles
black coffee and vino del pals. They
used little starch food and that thor
oughly baked. Baking powders ant
yeast were alike unknown and tn,
deadly ice water was never seen OF
their tables. Their life was spent al
mosts entirely out Of doors, largely OF
horseback. They would ride twenty
miles or more to bale, which lastet
q week. They did not swallow thei
meals at jump, with a telephone a
their elbows. An ideal life was that
before the gringo and his fool notion

DOCTOR COINS A NEW WORD.

Physician Uses "Smog'' as Descriptive
of LondOn'O ReekinG Atmosphere.
This word "smog' which was coined
in London last week and which de-
scribes the condition of the atmosphere
there when laden with fog and reek-
ing in smoke has surely come to stay.
It is the invention Of a physician in
London who was serving as delegate
In the British Congress Of Health. The
new word meets all the requirements
of the case. 1t is pointed Its echo
of sound to sense is perfect. 1t is a
better word than fog to describe a
London morning-or, for that matter,
to describe a morning in New York,
Brooklyn, Pittsburg or Chicago. In all
big manufacturing cities the smoke
mingles with the fog and produces
darkness. Can you not see that the
word 10 destined to live and become
"claSsic"2 1t will, we are sure.
The word quiz" (Which is a diction.
airy word now owes its origin to a
wager made by an Irishman named
DAILY that he could coin a word to
which the public would give the def
milton he intended. He is said to have
bet &100 on this original wager, which
was accepted by a friend. Then this
original word coiner set to work
marking on every dead wall that he
could find in Dublin the four letters
Quiz. what does it mean2 asked
the first man who saw it. ut means
to question:" answered the second.
Within twenty-four hours the public
had fastened the Specification on the
new word, which was that fixed ON by
the coiner himself. SO he won his bet
and enriched the English language
with a sound good word which Is uni.
versally admitted today to the com.
pany of words derived from the orig.
inal Latin, Greek, Hebrew and other
tongues.
We are not surprised to hear that
the new word "smog'' was hailed with
applause" at its first utterance before
the health congress. The doctors were
quick to see the wide use to which
"smog" could be put. ut is a smoggy
morning" 1.-The air Is full Of 'smog.'"
A few weeks ought to be sufficient tc
introduce these phrases everywhere
that they are available throughout tbs
English-speaking world.
If the man who causes two blades
of grass to grow where but one grew
before Is to be honored how much
worthier is he who makes two words
where only one existed in the vocab
ulary beforeH All honor, then, to the
medical word coiner and honor, too
to his coinage-''smogv'-Utica Oh

1.-THE rubber horse" Ia the sobriquet
given by the members Of No. truck
company, Harrison street, between
Fayett0 and Baltimore streets, to Dunn
barton, the great gray gelding that
helps to pull their apparatus to fres,
says the Baltimore News.
''The rubber horse has the peculiar
faculty Of being able to stretch him
self exactly as a cat sometimes does
In front of a IRE. When he is little
tired or feels that his muscles need
relaxing, Dumbarton stretches his
front legs directly In front of him,
bending down on them until they are
almost 4at on the ground and extend
ed in font of him, while his back legs
and hind quarters appear from his po-
Rttion to be lifted upward.
The frst time that Dumbarton per
formed this contort1on was on tho
street while he and his wagon mate
were waiting for their friends to sx"
ttnguish a blaze. The position was 50
unusual for q horse to take that the
nremen around the truck wagon
thought that the animal had n at of
some kind and rushed forward to raise
him up. But Dombarton, with q twin.
HE In his eye, seemed to say, II was
only DOING a little contorhoniBt stunt
for you," and slowly regained his feet.
Sometimes Dumbarton performs his
contortonist act In his stall, but he
generally does 1t while he is standing
on the street, and when he elects to
perform a crowd always gathers
around the rubber horse" to see him
stretch IKE q cat.
