England eaused greatly improved eondi-
lions In sll,crops. While these CONTINUED hign
temperatures have been accompanied by a.
comparatively high percentage Of humidity,
causing considerable Inconvenience, the
correspondents generally write In much
more hopeful mood. Many crops which
were backward at last reports have made
such rapid progress that they are In
nearly normal condition at the present time
due mostly to increased temperatures. The

= For the purpose Of ascertaining
where you live, please note the
following:
lst, all houses that front east or
uorth are odd numbers.
End, all houses that front west or
south are even numbers.
3rd, the ordinance provides that
every twenty five feet should consti-
tute one number.
. 4thj for streets that run east and
west, the numbers begin. at east
street, with fourteen hundred, in
creasing one hundred every block,
hence all numbers west of Main
street are above the 1000 mark, and
all east of that street below. Therefore
take that street as basis for cor.
vepeince. Every block travelled west
add 100, every block east deduct 100.
9th, for streets running north and
south, numbers begin at Cedar street,
increasing 100 every block. This
makes Ellinwood 10th, street, and
Broadway. corresponds to 10Th street.

YOUNG CARRIE NATIONS?
A Little Smashing" Done IN Pawnee
Rock Sunday Morning.

Last Sunday morning about Has
there stood a tent just across the
tracks and about II o'clock, there was
no tent, but souvenirs of the same
were seen on agreat many coat lapels.
The tent,.it is said, was being used
for saloon building Saturday night
and gambling den Sunday morning.
Sunday morning seven members of
the local Women's Christian Temper
ance Union suspected something was
going on in the tent that should not
be allowed under the laws of the state
of. KansaS,-meanwhile those inside
of the teat suspected something was
going on outside that should not be
allowed with them being under the
poles and canvas, so they hiked.-
With hatchets, axes, corn knives,
butcher knives etc., the. women went
to the tent, found noone there, and
proceeded to smash" Tent stakes
flew, ropes were cut and the tent was
soon down. after which they proceed
ed to make carpet rags out of it. A
barrel of. empty quart bottles were
found and smashed. The work was
finished, and the women went home
Feeling that good deed had been
done. Shortly after, great many
went to the scene Of the "Iola dyna-
mite saloon" and the most OF them
took piece of canvas, as souvenir.
Whether or not the tent was used
for saloon or a gambling den, we do
not know, but it is said that it was.
The pencil pusher of this sheet
never saw the tent either before or
after, and is not guilty Of participant
in any part of the ruApus, therefore
we can not vouch for the above as we
took it from others lips, and all
seemed to tell it the same. -Pawnee

SHEEP TO AUSTRALIA.
Raising the Quarantine Permits Ship
ment of American Stock,

The repeal of the quarantine
against American bred cattle and
sheep, which has closed the ports of
Australia to breeders and stockmen
of this country, has resulted in a
prompt and gratifying demand from
the Australian ranchers for American
stock. says the Sacramento Union.

pany with j. II. Hoyt sheep inspect
or of Solano county. Recently they
visited the ranch of Henry Glide
south of this city, to arrange for the
purchase Of a number of registered
French merino sheep to be used for
breeding purposes in Australia. Mr.
Binnie stated that the owners OF
finer stock were aggrieved at the ac-
ton Of the government, since the su-
uerior value of the French merinc
sheen has been recognized ever since
the first expectation from the Glide
ranch.
This was several years ago when
James F.. Roberts, a rancher of Law

with him half dozen of the tines'

CARL CHAPMAN's FUNERAL.
Well Known Young Man, Formerly of
Pcndlcton, Killed Near Bend, Crook
County.

The funeral OF Carl A. Chapman,
the eldest son of Charles A. Chapman,
formerly resident of this county,
who was killed In a well on a home
stead near Bend. in Crook county,

Young Chapman and a neighbor,
named Anthony were digging a well
on homestead and had shot off a
blast in the well, which was 2S feet
deep. Chapman went down to begin
work soon after firing the blast, and
went down to his relief and started to
carry him up the ladder and when
about seven feet from the top his
strength gave way and he dropped the
unconscious man, whose skull was
broken by the fall to the bottom of the
well. 1t is a question whether Chap
man would have died from the effect
of the gas, but the fall would have
killed him instantly.
Carl Chapman was practically rails
ed i'm Pendleton his father, c. A
Chapman, having resided here for a
number of years. He sold the coun-
ty his excellent alfalfa farm near the
mouth of Mckay creek, three years

mercantile business. Last year he re-
moved with his family to Bend, II
Crook county. and engaged in the
real estate and mercantile business

town of Bend, under the irrigation
project being completed there.
Carl Chapman leaves wife anC
