Cultivating the Sense Of Beauty.

SETTLERS ARE SCARED.

Government Inspector Makes InvesLi-
cation in southern PART of County
Last evening Government Land In
spector Dickson arrived in the city
from the southern part of Umatilla
county where he had spent the past
two months inspecting government
lands and investigating methods by
which many homesteaders have used
in acquiring land in an alleged fraud
ulent manner, says the Tribune. Mr.
Dickson left on the night train for
Portland, having been called there on
business with the land department
officers.
AS result of Mr.. Dickson's pres
ence in the southern part of Umatilla
county there have been many who
have abandoned their land entries,
while others, who are accused of Sc
curing possession improperly, have
been busy tearing down fences and
covering up their reported raw work.
The situation seems to be somewhat
perturbed among the settlers there,
at least, among large number, as it
is feared prosecution will follow.

A BIG RANCH DEAL.

Athena Man Interested In "a Purchase
NJ That Aggregates @15O,O0o.
n THE Walla Walla Union says that
the biggest ranch deal ever consum-
mated in Eastern Washington came off
last week, when Fay LIE Grow of Athe-
ma and George Drumheller of Walla
Walla, purchased approximately TO-, :
900 acres of land in Adams and Dong
las counties from Lord Blythe, an
Englishman, who is an immense land
holder in the Grab Greek country near
Moses lake. Nearly 1000 head of cat
tie were purchased also, by Messrs.
LIE Grow and Drumheller from the
Blythe holdings. SeThe price paid for
the property is not given out by the
purchasers, but it is understood that
over $150,000 changed hands in the
transaction.
Mr.. lie Grow will not leave Athena.
Most of the property is meadow
land, which is admirably adapted to
the grazing industry. The new own
ers will go into the stock-raising bus
iness on large scale. Cattle-raising
will be the main object, and what is
perhaps the finest bunch of Hereford
cattle in the northwest has been gath
cred together for winter feeding. It
is estimated that enough hay can be
raised ON the extensive meadows of
the ranch to feed nearly 10000 head
of cattle.

WIFE DROPPED DEAD.

Mrs. II. ID. Collins Dies From Heart
Trouble When Husband Is Away.
The Pendleton Tribune says Coro
ner L. M. Henderson returned last
evening from Butter Creek, where he
was called to investigate the sudden
death of Mrs. e. ID. Collins. He
states that the woman undoubtedly
came to her death from heart trouble,
with which she was suddenly at
tackled, dying almost instantly.
1t is believed that Mrs. Collins died
about 0 o'clock Wednesday morning
as she had not yet completed her NOR
n1ng work about the house. The hus-
band did not return home until 8
O'Clock in the evening and was horror
stricken to find the dead body of his
wife on the porch. The fifteen months
old child was lying in room in a
critical condition, suffering from cold
and hunger. The husband notified
his neighbors as soon as possible and
word was conveyed to Coroner Hen
dersoG about 10 o'clock Wednesday
night.
Mr.. Collins had been employed the
past few days on neighbours ranch
several miles away. He took up u
homestead on Butter creek about a
year sgo, coming to the county from
the east. His wife was about 80
years old.

OPENS EQUITY SUIT
o. R. & N. BEGINS ITS CASE IN
THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Barely Possible That the Matter May
Be Adjusted Without the Case
Being Tried Out.

Peudleton, Nov. 2.-Tomorro-y the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation com
pany will file suit in equity in the
circuit court of this district for the
purpose of showing that the assess
ment of $12, 900 per mile upon their
roadbed is unjust Ever since the
compromise proposition presented the
county court by the railroad was
tnrned down, it has been expected
that suit would be started by the
company. However, the first definite
news came today in the shape of
message from the legal Office at Port
land to Colonel Raley, saying that the
papers for the suit will be here tomor-
row.
With the filing of the suit in equity
will commence another chapter of the
legal war that has been waged for the
past year or more between the railroad
company and the county, and in
which the latter has been signally
successful SO far. What the outcome
of the coming fight will be remains to
be seen. It is barely possible that
the matter may be adjusted without
having the case tried out.

HERD WILL BE SOLD

Public Auction of Goodman Cattle on
November ID.
Another fine herd of Umatilla cattle
will be scattered over the northwest,

year ago, says the East Oregonian.

near Freewater, will sell his fine herd
of full blood Shorthorns at public
auction on November Is. at the Hud-
son Bay stock farm.

six months to nine years, all having
direct and authentic pedigrees, and all
having been bred with the utmost
care. It is one of the finest collec-
tions of cattle in the Inland Empire
and Mr.. Goodman's sale will bring
many enthusiastic stockmen from all
over the northwest. The sale will
begin at 10 O'Clock ON November 10,
with Colonel ]. S. Baldwin as auc-

HELIX STORE BURNED
ATHENA MERCANTILE CO. LOSE
STOCK AND BUILDING.
Started in Rear Of Mercantile House
and Gained Fearful Headway
Before Discovered.

The Athena Mercantile Co. s store al
Helix was destroyed by fire shortly
before L o'clock yesterday morning.
! This is the third fire that has occur
red in Helix in the last two weeks,
aud citizens of the little town are OF
the opinion that fire bug is practic-
ing bis dastardly work. The first
blaze was when the Arlington hotel
burned few days ago. Guests bare
ly escaped with their hves in the dead
hours Of night, and practically moth
ing was saved from the hostelry. The
second fire was a residence which was
saved last week after slight damage
| had resulted.
The destruction of the Athena Mer-
camille Go. store at Helix, takes from
the place the largest business enter
prise in the town, and the loss will
not only be felt by .Mosgrove Bros,
the owners, but by the people of the
town and surrounding country as
we'll The loss sustained by the COM
pany on stock and building is esti-
mated at $13, 1000 and the amount of
insurance carried amounts to 80, 900.
Indications would make it appear
that the fire originated in the rear
of the store building and before dis
covered, shortly after one O'Clock a.
m. had gained fearful headway.
That the property was deliberately
set on fire is the belief of the proprie-
tors and employees OF the store. There
was no fire in the stove, which was in
the main part of the building, there
being even no occasion for lamp to
be used where the fire started for the
reason that light sufficient could be
had over low partition separating
the rear from the main store room.
Whoever set fire to the store robbed
the cash register of silver change.
This was the second attempt to gain
entrance to the store. Several nights
ago DR.. Griswold, who lives directly
across the street from the store build
ing, was attracted by noise at the
rear of the premises and went to in
vestigate when three men wearing
masks passed him. Next morning it
was found that entrance to the store
had been attempted by use OF crow
bar at the back door. The doctor s
appearance had frustrated the first at
tempt of the robbers and incendiaries.
The volunteer fire department with
apparatus and plenty of water, had

Rescued in Time.

Ira w. Buroaker came to Freewater
ON the early morning passenger train
Monday morning, the worse for liquor.
Wandering west of the town about
a mile he fell into a large irrigation
ditch and was not able to get out. An
hour or 50 later he was found by Ed
Wilde in an unconscious condition.
His legs were stiff and only his head
out of water, and it is probable he
would have died had he remained
there much longer. He had gone to
Freewater to sign a deed for some
property he had sold Saturday. He is
the owner of a considerable amount of
property east of that city.
