Trees For Wiadhreaks

AS for the best trees to plant
for a common windbreak, this
depends somewhat on the soil,
elevation and locality. If on
high dry land, cottonwood is
very short lived and none af the
willows are at their best, such
as the old white willow and the
Russian golden willow. On high,
dry ::ond the Russian olive is one
of the best. For a dense wind
break that will turn stock a
hedge of our native box elder
planted in row four feet apart
with the rows at eight feet in
tervals is excellent as it permits
cultivation longer than when
planted four by four feet. Three
or four rows Of box elder can be
supplemented on the north side
by two or three rows of native
plum seedlings, thus giving both
fruit and shelter.
On the north side, or planted
in alternate rows with the box
elder may be planted the native

Flaxton Pigger Shot

Late Monday evening a raid
was made upon a blind pig in
Flaxton run by a man named
Leonard K. Burton. A Deputy
sheriff by the name of Town and
four deputized citizens went to
the place with warrant for
Burton's arrest. They knocked
upon the door and called upon
Burton to surrender. There were
several men in the joint at the
time and Burton ordered them
to drop to the floor. He then
drew a gun and fired several
shots through the door. Town
narrowly escaped being shot as.
he was holding the door knob.
The deputies returned Burton's
FIRE and a bullet from a forty -four
calaber gun struck Burton in the
breast. The door was then
forced and all the inmates placed
under arrest. Medical aid for
Burton was called but he was in
a serious condition.
The den run by Burton had
been running for some time and
the people concluded to close it
up.

WILL OIL TRACK.

In order to relieve passengers
from the annoyance Of dense clouds
81. dust lifted into the air by swiftly
moving trains, the o. r & N. Co.
has arranged to sprinkle its track
between Pendleton and Spokane
with oil. Crude petroleum such as
is used on the highways in Califor-
MIA will be used. This is remedy
which has often been suggested by
passengers as an effective method
of keeping down the dust, not only
in Eastern Oregon, but in the Will
lamette Valley, where. in summer,
the dust rises in immense clouds at
every road crossing or wherever the
railroad bed has been recently
worked. 1t probably is not prac-
ticable for the Hartman lines to
sprinkle all their tracks at present
but in a few years some method
will be in common use to eliminate
this misunderstanding feature of
railroad travel.

GORMLEY'S BODY FOUND.

Justice G. F. Richardson, accom-
panied by workmen from the
bridge, went down to Camp 7 yes.
terday to view the body Of a man
taken from the river there and
identify it if possible. The men
who had worked with Gormley on
the bridge and were acquaintsd
with him at once recognized his
features and made complete identi-
6catiou. Gormley fell from the
railroad bridge into the Columbia
river three weeks ago today and
no trace Of his body was found
until two or three days ago when
discovery was made by railroad
laborers several miles below Hover

John Gormley was IS years old
and a very genial, industrious
young man, popular with his fel,
lows. The remains will be inferred

WHY SHOES CONE HIGH.

Never in the history of this coun-
try have hides been as high az
now. They were not higher during
the civil war, when all goods were
extremely high, due to the greatly
deprecated currency. If figured
on that basis. present prices are
two or three times as high. The
severrl causes are, the great de-
mand that. prevailed during the
Russian-Jap war for army goods.
This greatly reduced the stocks of
leather in this country as well as in
Europe. Then, the general pros
perity in this country, aud the var.
led uses for leather that have not
previously existed, of which the
principal one is the upholstering of
automobiles; so, if there is some
evil in them, there is also some
good, as it keeps the tanners busy
and makes hides high. w. T.
