He Buried His Money.

While looking into the affairs of
the late E. E. Epson, who died at his
farm six miles southeast of Spangle
on the 18th of October, the admins
traitor Of the estate was surprised at
the small amount of cash left by the
deceased, says the Fairfield Standard.
On advice Of friends he searched
the premises for buried money, and,
while probing the earth in the wood
shed Saturday, discovered a sack con-
tanning $11O0 in bills.
Encouraged by this discovery the adj
ministrator continued his search and
brought to light a jar in which was
$41O5 in gold coins, making a total of
$52O5 unearthed.
The sum Of $1,000 was found on de-
posit in the bank. There is no trace,
as yet, of any papers or a will. The
farm consists of $50 acres.
Mr.. and Mrs. Epson were divorced
many years ago but daughter has
come forward to claim the estate.

CARGIlL RA:;CH SOLD
Six Hundred Twelve Acres Brought
S27.75O.

PENDLETON,. Nov. 5.-One Of the
biggest farm deals that has been made
for some time was consummated here
Saturday when Dave Cargill, the well
known farmer, sold his ranch to Ben
Ogle Of Athena, for a total price of
$27,750. The ranch is located IL miles
north Of Pendleton and contains 612
acres, all Of which has been used for
wheat raising. The price per acre was
trlf1e over $45.
Ben Ogle, the purchaser of the Car
gill ranch, already owned several
thousand acres of wheat and grazing
land in this county and is ranked by
some as the land king of the county.
What Mr.. Cargill will do, now that
he has sold out, has not been learned,
but it is understood he will continue
to live in Pendleton, having a resi-
dence at 513 West Jackson street.

REPORTS PROGRESS
OF STATE HIGHWAY

OLYMPIA, Nov. State Highway
Commissioner J. M. Snow has returned
from Leavenworth, where he has been
inspecting the work on the Leaven-
worth state road, which leads into the
Red Mountain mining district. A con-
tract covering eight miles of the road
has just been completed. John Gavin
Of Cashmere, was the contractor. The
right of way is cleared for a width Of
tweny feet and the roadway graded for
twelve feet in width. The road has
a maximum grade of per cent, and is
in every way rated f1rst-class high
way. 1t cost $562.50 a mile, which is
deemed very reasonable for a mount
ain road.
Another mile of the road is under
contract to Edward Ellis. Mr.. Ellis
and his associates have, in addition,
constructed thirteen miles Of road to
connect with the state road and have
also constructed branch road lead
ing into the mines. A big force of
men has been at work at the mining
operators expense, the road being do
mated by them for the public use.
Mr.. Snow found the state road al
ready completed in marked contrast to
the county road over which he had
to travel to get to the state highway.

-Four Organize and Chastse Their
Ael9hbof
SAY she IS GUILTY OF MISCONDUCT
VICTIM OF OUTRAGE SWEARs
OUT WARRANTS AGAINST HER
ASSAllANTS.

EAST SANDY, Pa. Nov. 5.-A vigil
lance committee consisting of foul
young married women, forceful and de-
termined, stirred this ordinarily quiel
village yesterday by correcting, in
whitecap style, the alleged evil con-
duct of Mrs. Hattie Lowry, a neigh
Dor.
The vigilantes-Mrs v. Lowry, sis
ter-in-law Of the victim; Mrs. Nellie
Glasel, Mrs. Bertha Brinkman and Mrs.
Hilda Pherson, appeared at Mrs. Hat
tie Lowry's home in open day, and
announced that as she had not needed
their warnings to desist from actions
that they believed had brought dis
grace upon the community, they had
decided to chastise her by humiliation.
They tied her hands behind her back,
smeared her face with stovepolish I'M
til it was completely covered, and
poured thick molasses upon the head
Of the helpless victim. They then
emptied the contents of a reather pill
low upon the molasses, to which the
feathers stuck in a mass.
The quartet then seized the loose
end Of the rope that bound Mrs. Low
rvs hands and commanded her to
march out of the house. They told
her to go in the direction Of railroad
camp, and there she went. The 200
workmen employed there ceased opera
tions to witness the spectacle. When
Mrs. Lowry had paraded through the
camp, the women tied her to a large
box, where she remained until a man
released her.
Mrs. Lowry procured warrants for
her assailants. Sheriff McE1hinney
served the papers upon all but Mrs.
Pherson, who was not at nome. The
husbands of the women accompanied
them to the office of Alderman Hen
derson, where they pleaded guilty and
were fined $40 and costs. The nus
bands settled.

o. r. & N. RAISES PAY.
Machinists and BoiIermakers Get a
Handsome Advance.

MachInIStS and BoIIermakerS Get a
Handsome Advance.
An advance in wages has been
given the employees of the La Grande
railroad shops. The pay Of machinists
mas been advanced from "a IL cents
to 81 IL cents per hour; boilermakers
will now receive 40 cents an hour in
stead of "a IL cents as heretofore.
It is said that this conforms with
the Southern Pacific policy of paying
the boilermakers about 2 IL cents
more per hour that the machinists
because their work is considered more
laborious.
1t is said also that blacksmiths will
receive the same pay as bollermakers
but this has not yet been ordered.
One-half extra is allowed on the reg
ular scale for work on Sundays, legal
holidays and overtime after o'clock.
All the shop employees put in a great
amount Of overtime and the wage
schedule is now higher than ever be-
fore in the shops at La Grande.
"The advance" said one Of the
shop employees, "is not so noticeable
as it would have been when the cost
of living was not so high, but it Is
none the less appreciated and gives
us a chance to lay up some money.

the hope that change of climate and
surroundings might prove beneficial.
There was evidence of change for the
better and the patient was in excellent
spirits the day of her death. Noticing
some roses across the street. she re-
ouested that some be brought to her
and it was while admiring them that
she sank back in death.
The sorrowing family returned to

J. G. Smith has the first contract
and expects to be at work by the first
of December. A ditch at least six #.
wide and four #. deep will be dug, into
which drain tile will carry water from
adjoining land. This canal will follow
the lowest depression for several miles,
starting at the Art Brown place and
continuing to gulch which empties in
to the Gunnison river. The present
plan when completed will free from
seep more than half the seep land on
this mesa in Delta county. Probable
cost from $50 to ss5 per acre for land

Badly Whipped.

About one-hundred fifty .'rooters"
and friends accompanied the Delta High
school football and basketball teams
to Grand junction on last Saturday:
special train being run for their accom-
odation.
The Grand Junction teams seized the
advantages due to weakness of our
teams and took their revenge for three
straight years of defeat at the hands
of Delta teams by winning the Junior
football game by a score of IL to 0.
the basketball game by a score of y
to 20 and then outplaying the regular
football team in both defensive and
aggressive work with score of II to 0.
The Delta team has no excuse to offer
save illness on part of some of the
members of the team. The playing of
the basketball team was almost perfect
so far as getting possession Of and pass
ing the ball was concerned, but throw
ing baskets seemed to be source of
trouble to players usually most accu-
rate; in fact it seemed an off day for
both teams, for the football team
played an excellent defensive game at
most times. its ability to advance the
ball was entirely lost, the backs, due
partly to illness, were unable to do any
thing like their usual high grade work.
A reception was given at the High
school building which was most thor
oughly enjoyed by all. and was strong
est evidence of the good feeling exist
ing between the teams.

Texas and stopped off here to see Mr..

country that he quickly made up his
mind to get a chunk of our soil before
it goes higher and it is very likely that
he will return for more. Mr.. Mckenzie

destroying material.
Eugene Grubb, of Carbondale. spoke
on potatoe culture. He said when
potato vines are yellow it is evidence Of
too much water; when black they are
not getting sufficient moisture. Mois-
ture is sufficient when soil holds the
shape it is pressed into by the hand.
Plant potatoes forty inches apart.
Heavy. compact soil produces diseased
potatoes. Always keep same moisture
as nearly as possible until matured.
Harvest seed potatoes when the crop is
half grown as such seed has stronger
terminating power than the ripened
potato. Put seed away in dry, well
ventilated places. Raise potatoes that
weigh about Is ounces. In planting use
the whole potato and the best you have,
selecting those of uniform size.
This is merely brief outline of one
evenings program which will give those
who were not present slight idea Of
what they missed.
