FoUR-FooT RATTLESNAKE.
Killed by Humphreys on Summit OF
Blue Mountains.

One of the largest rattlesnakes seen
in this section for some time was
killed Sunday by William Humphreys,
the barber. while hunting near Huron.
At that time Mr.. Humphreys, with a
number of other men from Pendleton,
were hunting grouse almost on the
summit of the Blue mountains, When
first seen the snake was directly un-
der Humphreys, and the sight was
somewhat of a shock to him. He
stood still until the rattle had crawled
from between his leg, when he killed
the snake with club. When meas
ured the rattler was found to be four
feet long, and he was declared by
those present to be the largest one
they had ever seen. He ratified but
slightly when attacked. and after he
had killed the snake Mr.. Humphreys
secured the rattles for trophy

Yesterday was a busy day in court
circles in Athena as a result OF the
visit of Deputy District Attorney Nc
Court Four cases came up for hear
ing, and of these three were disposed
Of in the local court, while the fourth
that of Hugh Robie. was held for the
circuit court, .
The trouble all occurred Saturday
evening. AT that time some Difficult
ty arose in the Geneva saloon, and
j. S. Jordan, a stranger was thrown
from that place and was assaulted by
Duncan Mcintyre. The ire of Jordan
was thereby aroused and he swore
revenge upon the gang. He had been
living In a tent on the outskirts of
the town, and was followed there
by Hugh Robie and Charles G. King.
On reaching the place Jordan secur-
ed Winchester rifle and confronted
the two who had followed him.

that a fight followed. .....
Following the affair Jordan sought
to have the two men arrested for
falsely claiming to be officers, and
the acting district attorney left for
the scene yesterday morning, return
ing home on the $50 train In the
evening.
As an outcome of the trouble ROBBIE
was bound over to the circuit court
for assault and battery; King was
fined $50 and costs for disorderly
conduct; Mcintyre, S25 and costs for
the same charge, while the saloon-
keeper, Robert Geneva, was fined
$50 and costs for selling liquqor

Sixty-five thousand dollars will be
the total cost of the new steel bridge
which is now being planned by the
o. R. & N for the Umatilla river at
Umatilla junction.
The present bridge across the UNA
tilla at that point has been in serv-
ice for number Of years and while
in excellent condition and not in the
least impaired by traffic yet it is
deemed to be insufficient for the i'm
mense engines and heavy trains that
are being run over the entire system.
The bridge is about $50 feet in
length. consisting of two short spans
which are really approaches to the
main bridge, with two spans in the
center resting on an immense con-
crete pier in the river bed.
The present bridge is an overhead
bridge, and when built was several
years in advance of other bridges in
the northwest but It has now been
surpassed by the more modern steel
bridges which have been built on the
system in the past three years,
The new bridge which is being
planned by the bridge and building
engineers will be of steel throughout,
with possibly no overhead frame. It
will rest upon the concrete pier in
the center which was erected for the
present bridge, and which will stand
as long as the bottom to the Umatilla
river stands. The estimated cost of
the elegant new structure will be
$4,000 and it will be the most ex-
pensive Improvement to be made at
any one point on the line in eastern
Oregon.
Bridge No. 1856. two miles west of
Meacham cost about $4,000, but this

FATALITY AMONG HORSES.
'Pink Eye" Killing Many Valuable
Work Horses All Over the West,

DR.. T. ]. Lloyd, the veterinarian
who has been over Umatilla county
thoroughly during the past week on
professional business says that the
pink, eye" or epizootic celluIitls,
which is now killing many valuable
work horses in this county is also
raging in different parts of the west
with terrible fatality.
The disease affects different horses
in different ways. Some horses are
affected in the limbs and joints, some
in the back, some in the eyes and
others in different ways, but finally
the disease ends in congestion Of the
lungs, which is the fatal phase of 1t.
1t is aggravated by heat, dust and
overwork and many horses in SEEM
ingly good health drop dead in the
harness from acute congestion of the
lungs, after suffering with some other
phase of the disease for several days
without showing many signs of illness.
Horses that are well kept and In fair
ly good health will often work with
out tagging until ready to drop. Such
cases are invariably termed "over-
heating" but 1t is the termination of
the disease which has been at work
upon them for days perhaps, but
which was aggravated by the hard
labor, dust and heat of harvest.

by one of the Beck plumbers who
was passing, and he at once notified
the members of the household. On
going upstairs that portion of the
house was found to be filled with
smoke from burning bed tick.
However, the fire was soon extin-

and but little damage was done. 1t

NIP 1T IN THE BUD.
First Appearance of Dandrun Fore
runner of Future BaIdness.

That such is the case has been con-
clusively proven by scientific research
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist, declares that dandruff is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp. caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless,
and, in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
Newbros Herplcide kills this dandrufr
germ. and restores the hair to It's natural
softness and abundancy.
Herplcide is now u9ed by thousands OF
people-all satisfied that 1t is the most
wonderful hair preparation on the mar
ket to-day.

as the great steam excavator shown in
the Illustration performs in eight
hours. The burning sun or rain in tor
rents has no terrors for this mammoth
earth devouring monster. The scene
Is from a photograph of the construc-
ton work on the irrigation canal in
Colusa County, California. The arti-
fetal river thus created is six miles
long, 100 feet wide, and 80 feet to the
top OF its banks. The Sacramento riv-
er furnishes the water which makes
fertile 10000 acres of fruit ranches.
The excavator travels on its own
railway tracks on each side Of the
canal, and as the work proceeds the
track Is taken up and relaid ahead
Of the machine.
The steel buckets, which have sharp.
cutting edges, move constantly by
means Of endless chains, and empty
their load Of earth first on one side.
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides of the ditch.
All these movements of the machine
are controlled by one leverman, who
may be seen in the cut standing on
the platform on the left of the bucket
He has control of five separate levers
one for raising and lowering the buck
ct chain, one for moving the car to
the right, and another for moving the
car to the left, and another for moving
1t forward on the side track, and the
fifth controls the engine. The rapidi-
V and facility with which all these
movements are made is surprising, es-
peciaily considering the momentum
and immense weight of the car and
bridge and the excavator's machinery
which is about 300 tons.

ENGLISH DOCTORS FEES.
They Are Regulated by the Royal Col
Iege of Physicians.

1ege of Physicians.
The specialists must be divided into
two distinct classes, the surgeon prop
er and the pure physician. The former
unquestionably gets big fees in ratio
to his reputation. The famous sur
geon has only to name his fee to the
millionaire with appendicitis. With
the fear of death before his eyes he
will write his check gladly. When
he has recovered he will often grum-
BILE if he does not boast. A younger
and less known man will perform the
same operation for a 1.-THE of the cost,
but the public, with death staring
them in the face, will have the man
with the big name, regardless of ex-
pense.
But the pure physician is an entirely
different matter. His fees are stand
ardized not by act of Parliament, but
by that autocratic body, the Royal Col
lege of Physicians. His fees for con-
sultation at his own house are fixed
at 2 guineas the first visit and a
guinea for each subsequent one. For
consultations away from home he re-
ceives a fee at the calculated rate OF
two-tbirds Of guinea a mile. Elstree.
twelve miles out of town, is ipso facto
8 guineas, Liverpool C201 miles, is 1874
guineas, and so on pro rata. But 1t
must be remembered that nowadays
all the big provincial centers have
their own specialists, and the town
man is very seldom sent for unless he
be one of the very biggest names and

f~at anu TO ING OihNs
Mr.. Paul ThiemaH, whoever he may
be- says something in recent issue OF
a Denver paper which is pat-and't to the
point. We herewith produce the Arst
few paragraphs Of his article:
When one beholds the complacent
failure to comprehend the nature and
condition of Far Western irrigation, 1t
Is maddening l have seen one man,
who is thoroughly posted, almost break
into wild tears of rage over the ever
recurring evidences that the people at
large, the people right here, the ma
tional government, the State govern
ments. do not appreciate national irri-
cation, and that the public informa-
ton and the individual knowledge of
the subject at this time are strangely
dense. The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama
ton of the arid region are the result of
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
Few people understand that the ma
tional irrigation fund Is nothing but a
bulk of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and bitches, upon a
guarantee that the owners of the lands
to be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund. The national fund is not to
be depleted, but must be replenished
by the payment back of the cost of the
work, as assessed by the government
engineers, and If signatures to such
pledges can't be secured, the works
proposed will not be built.
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than if done by pri-
vate capital, and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit of the
cost lots of landowners won't sign,
and there you are. Meantime the gov
eminent officials knock private enter
prises and warn the people against
them, when, as the situation stands.
1t Is only private enterprise, in pro-
noting irrigation district bonds, in Col
orado, at least, that is really doing any
thing.
