Late threshing is being finish
ed up when the weather permits.
Corn gathering is the latest
topic of the day but no cham
pion husking has as yet been
recorded.
We noticed quite a lot of feed
ing cattle in Arcadia on last
Saturday and farmers were there
to drive them to their yards. 1t
does look as though there is a
mania for feeding cattle this
year.
While Bill Hill was having
pleasant dreams Halloween a
party visited his premises doing
considerable damage, as is usual
ly the case on such occasions, and
Mr.. Hill informed us if he ha d
not been so tired he too woul d
have been out and made things
interesting to the marauders.
A number of farmers will put
Out lIult trees next year. IL mas
been said Nebraska is not fruit
state. How can we expect fruit
if we never put out trees. We
noticed some of the finest fruit
grown here this year that can
be grown anywhere and we ought
to put out trees by all mears.
The wondering how high corr
will go in price is the warm store
talk these times. Some predict
ing e dollar a bushel before it /:
grown again. Some feeders are
now paying SOC and others WI
have heard have gone as high "a
35c on future contract. 1t is
getting up there as the corn i
not so good as many anticipate
before beginning to husk.

the June election. Under the law all
such nominations should be filed with
the clerk at least 80 days prior to the
election and this the Umatilla. prohi-

Idaho's Natural Hot Bed.

A Nez Perce special to the Lewiston
Tribune says: Farmers in the vicin-
ity of Lawyers canyon have discover
ed phenomenal condition that prom
ises to be Of great value to the coun-
try. For some time 1t has been no.
ticed that a large tract of land ada
cent to the Lawyers canyon breaks
has not been affected by the snow,
that snow melts shortly after falling.
1t is now believed this land is heated
by a subterranean heat channel and
from experiments made it. has been
determined that the section is par
ticularly adapted to the growing of
fruits and tender vegetables. Large
tracts are being planted to fruits and
vegetables this season and 1t is ex-
pected the growers will derive large
returns from the sale of their pro-
ducts to the prairie farmers and the
railroad camps.

LABOR Is MORE PLENTIFUL.
Forces Of Railroad Builders Consider.
ably Strengthened.

Reports from various railroad
camps in Oregon and along the Snake
and Columbia rivers indicate more
men are available for work than was
the case early in April. says a Port
land dispatch. On the Lewiston Ri
paria line 23 men were received by
Contractor McCabe Yesterday and a
gang Of 80 others left the city for
camps there.
1t is said by railroaders that few of
the applicants are from San Fran
cisco. Only laborers accustomed to
strenuous work at the Bay City have
been found suitable for grading as
most of them are said to be unable to
Withstand the hardships of camp life.
Small gangs are being shipped in from
eastern points, but the contractors
complain that many of them agree to
accept positions merely to secure
transportation and on nearing the
scene Of the camps leave the train for
the interior.
1t Is admitted that when harvesting
opens the farmers will draw heavily
on the railroad camps for help, as bet
ter wages are offered. For that rea-
son an effort is being made to recruit
the forces in the field at once so as
much headway as possible can be
gained before the summer season. On
the line of the Pacific Railway & Nav
igation company from Hillsboro west
many Japanese have been engaged for
several months and they are regarded
with more favor than the white gangs.

UNEARTHED WAR wHIsKEY.
Barrels Buried for 40 Years Are Re
covered Intact.

A small mine of apple Jack was
unearthed a few days ago by Adam
Weider while he was digging for gin
seng root in spot which, so or more
years ago. was mountain charcoal
pit, says Cincinnati dispatch. When
his pick struck something hard about
five feet below the surface he, with a
vision of buried gold, carefully clear
ed the soil away until he found the
treasure, but 1t was not the kind that
he had expected to find.
Lying close together were four
whiskey barrels. Unfortunately the
slaves of two OF them had been
broken, allowing their former con-
tents to escape. A date on one of the
barrels showed that they had been
buried in 1868.
Weider summoned help, lifted out
the two remaining barrels and carted
them home. On examining their con-
tents he found that one contained a
| trifle over five gallons of apple Jack,
| of rich dark yellow color and OF
the consistency of sweet oil. The rest
of the whiskey had evaporated. The
taste was all that could be desired.
but a second taste was enough to put
man to sleep.
The discovery of the ancient whis-
key recalled to mind happenings of
this vicinity in the days of the civil
war. When General Lee began his
invasion of Pennsylvania in 1868.
which eliminated in the battle Of
Gettysburg, it was everywhere known
that his objective point was Phila-
| delphia. They feared that Lee and
his legions would sweep through the
rich counties of York. Dauphin, Leb-
anon, Lancaster and Berks and 1t
spread panic among the farmers.
Before the war nearly every far
his apple crop into apple jack. There
was no internal revenue tax; but,
even If apple Jack was cheap, 1t was
| more profitable for the farmers to
turn their apples into this beverage
than to let them rot on the ground.
In those days apples had practically
no sale.
When Lee started north hundreds
of farmers had their cellars and
barns stored with barrels of APPLE
jack. rye and corn whiskeys. 1t did
not take them long to realize that IL
| the war continued there was for
| tune in these stored liquors. AS
quickly as possible the barrels were
| buried underground or in other places
| of concealment.
AS Lee drew nearer to the rich
Pennsylvania farms many farmers
enlisted in hastily organized regi-
ments. Many of them never returned
from the battlefield and their fami-
lies, not knowing where the whskey
had been hidden or ignorant of its
real value, made no attempt to re-
cover it. Much of this today, still lies
buried waiting for the pick of some
other Adam Weider to bring II again
to the light of day.

Religious seed sown by DR.. H. H.
Spalding, a missionary, so years ago
in the Clearwater valley among the
Neg Perce Indians, is bearing fruit a
hundred fold, says Lewiston cores
pondence.
The early hours of toll among the
natives in those days so long ago Of
ten brought an Indifferent response,
and many times the worthy Presby-
terian preacher was discouraged.
Could he have looked forward to the
present day and to the revivals among
the Indians which took place last
winter in the beautiful valley where
he labored for so many years, he
would have rejoiced and would have
had an encouragement which was Of
ten lacking.
DR.. Spalding set up the first print
ing press on the Pacific coast in the
little log building still standing on
Lapwai creek, near the present thriv-
ing town of Spalding, 100 miles south
OF Spokane. That printing press was
not used to publish a newspaper, nor
to print circulars, dodgers or letter
printing OF a translation of the New
Testament in the Nez Perce language.
This press was sent to DIR. Spalding
by the Presbyterian missionary board.
and came from the Sandwich Islands.
1t is now kept as a relic of early his
tory in the state house of Oregon at
Salem.
Occupied Rich Land.
DR.. Spalding found the Indians oc-
cupying rich land, which today pro-
duces 40 and so bushels of wheat to
the acre, and some of the finest
grapes, peaches, apples, pears and
berries in America.
The Nez Perces were among the
most intelligent of the Pacific coast
tribes. Their native language was
one of the most complete of all the
Indian races Of the Pacific coast.
They had q good government and a
complete code of criminal laws. They
were brave people with remarkable
military genius, as was afterward
shown in the war of 1877, when these
Indians under the leadership of such
men as Chief Joseph and Looking
Glass defied the United States gov
ernment and for months fought and
evaded the government troops under
no less an able leader than Gen. o.
o. Howard.
Since then the Indians have been
induced to take individual farms, and
no longer roam the central part of
Idaho, and the rest of their reserva-
ton has been opened to white settle
ment, where there are thousands. of
prosperous farmers enjoying as rich
a soil and as fine a climate as are
found anywhere.

"GREATER SAN FRANCISCO,
Travelling Men Proclaim Their Faith
on Hotel Registers.

Since the disaster there has been a
noticeable lack of San Francisco trav-
cling men in the city. Before the
earthquake nearly half the men COW
ering this territory registered from
the Golden Gate city. Now one may
look through pages on the registrs of
the Hotl Pendleton or st. George with
out seeing one from that place. How
ever, there are a few who continue
to come, and the way they write the
address indicates the spirit that is des-
tined to make San Francisco a greater
city than ever. Invariably they sign
themselves from "Greater" or New"
Frisco, thus vouching their confi-
dence in the future of the Pacific
coast metropolis.
In advertising their town upon the
hotel registers the San Francisco
travelling men are doing a service sim
liar to what their Portland brethren
did last year and the one previous,
when, to call attention to the coming
Lewis and Clark fair they wrote
1906" after their names on the reg
lister.

Rained on Reservation.

A heavy shower visited the southern
end Of the Umatilla reservation last
evening. A heavy rain also fell in
the north part of the county along
the Columbia river. Rain is now
needed very much in the light land
districts. Considerable spring-sown
wheat and barley is turning yellow at
the ground and will suffer severely
within another week without rain.

RAIN WOULD BE BENEFICIAL.
But Wheat Crop Outlook Is Good Re-
gardIess OF Dry Spell.

For some time past the farmers OF
this section of the county have been
praying for rain, and 1t Is feared
damage may result unless moisture is
forthcoming within a short time.
But in the opinion of Will Moore,
the wheat broker, there is no cause
for alarm now, as rains will surely
come during this month and June.
Also they will be of more benefit
coming then than would a rain at
present.
Reports from all over the county
show the crop outlook to be good
and perhaps even better than last sea-
sn. This county was unusually fortu-
nate the past winter in that thre was
very little reseeding necessary, where
as other wheat counties had much of
that to do. Also, the conditions last
fall were unusually good for fall work,
as there was ample rainfall.
