At 8 o'clock this afternoon the wa
ter in the Umatilla had receded until
1t was close to I feet above the low
water mark. During the day a fall OF
between four and six inches occur
| red.
This morning William Hilton start
ed upon an inspection trip over his
telephone line which runs to Camas
Prairie and up Mckay creek. Since
| the flood it has been impossible to
communicate with places farther
than a few. miles south of Pilot Rock
and the Mckay Creek line has also
been disabled. However, Mr.. Hilton
expects to have the wires repaired
| and in shape for use within a day or

Three Inches Of Rain.
According to the records of H. F.
Johnson, the local weather observer.
two and one-third inches of rain fell
| in Pendleton between Monday after
noon and the close of the rainstorm.
| On Sunday afternoon when it rained
hard for two hours, about two-thirds
of an inch fell. thus making three
inches of rain just prior to the flood.
There is now much speculation re-
garding the effect of the snow in the
mountains upon the water in the
river. There has been a heavy snow
fall in parts of the Blue mountains
and many fear that warm weather or
a rain would cause the river to rise
again. However. all accounts are that
the snow is nearly all south of the
source of the Umatilla and conse-
| quently would go into Birch creek
or the John Day river in case of a
sudden thaw.
At Meacham there was no snow at
all yesterday when the party from La
Grande passed through. coming to
| Pendleton in rigs.
County loss $4,000.
In the opinion of County Judge H.
]. Bean the loss to the county through
damaged bridges and roads will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000 or
$4,000. Many of the smaller bridges
have gone out all over the county,
while the larger structures have been
injured by having the approaches
washed away as is the case with the
wagon bridge above the hospital. One
of the largest bridges to go out was
the one across Butter creek, while
another is the steel bridge at Cayuse,
which was built by popular subscrip-
ton.
Since the flood the road supervisors
of the county have been instructed to
make temporary repairs where need
ed and to replace small bridges. The
repairs to the larger structures will
have to await further inspection after
which the work will be let by con-
| tract

Decadence of American Shipping.

Consul Murphy of Bordeaux reports that
only two American vessels have entered
the harbor at that place In ten years, and
those were private yachts which sought
refuge during the Spanish-American war
The consul further says that he had
searched the records of the consulate
which is the oldest in continuous existence
dating back to 1890, and found that In the
vessels owned by Americans and flying the
American flag had entered and cleared at
the port. The vessels averaged from ITS
to 200 tons, and brought to Bordeaux cot

A few years ago citizen OF this coun-
try undertook to cure himself of certain
physical ills which he attributed to wrong
eating. He developed system of nutri-
ton. which was founded largely upon the
theory that perfect mastication of the food
Is essential to the proper sustenance OF
life. This system has come to be known
as "Fleteherism.' from the name OF its
prepayment. DR.. Higgins devotes consider
able space In the present volume to a con-
gideration of F1etcherism, which Is 4hus
expressed by Mr.. Fletcher himself: IF
you eat only when you have an earned
appetite, masticate your food thoroughly
and take great care to eat only what APP
petite approves, the rest viii take care of
itself" DR.. Higgins draws a distinction
between hunger and appetite. He believes
that 1t is possible to cultivate the body
and to develop it's potentialties for growth
and perfection through the application of
scientific methods. He arraigns the medi-
cal sciences for the fneffciencies of their
results and claims that there is now COM
ing into existence a new science which
he descriptively styles 'humaniculture
He has, it is interesting to note. resigned
all his professional appointments in order
to devote himself to a study and an expo
sition of his theories.

diversions from the straight course. He
describes conditions of life in England four
decades ago and draws some Interesting

If we are to judge by the thousands
of people who are being daily Swindled
by the numerous get rich schemes
that infeSt the country, the Ameri-
can are becoming particular easy.
Almost every large city seem to be
a fruitful field for the swindler's Oper-
alton, and the poor dupes almost tum-
ble over each other in their effort to
get something for nothing or fabulous
returns for small outlay, which any.
one of average intelligence ought to
know was a swindle without being
apprised of the fact. Aside from this
the press of the country is continually
warning the people of the dangerous
character of those operations and pub
fishing reports of the thousands who
have learned by dear experience OF
the fraudulent nature Of so many con-
Germs in which they have intrusted
their all. We would say it serves
them right were it not for the fact
that the victims in many cases are

cattle, with perhaps the exception OF
corn, and this is no serious drawback
when we consider the fact that one
pound of cotton-seed meal is equal in
feeding values to two pounds of corn.
MeliotuS, burr clover, white clover,
and many other plants CT equal value,
grow perfectly and furnish a great va
riety of food during most of the year.

and feeding beef cattle en- a large

proach of coming events by purchas-
ing large areas of land for grazing pur-
poses and for growing alfalfa and
Johnson grass hays. / believe the
cheap beef of the future will largely
be grown on the long neglected South
ern pastures where the grazing season
is followed by a short mild winter.
1t has long been thought that beef
cattle could not grown and finished at
a profit where there is not an abund-
ance of cheap corn. This theory has
been abandoned since our Experiment
stations have demonstrated that cot
ton seed and its products furnished
the most nutritious food known to the
StOckman. Cotton seed have two val
ueS which the farmer should consider.
A feeding value and a fertilizer value.
The feeding trials at the MissiSSip-
pi Experiment station for series of
of years, with both dairy and beef cat
tie, indicate that 100 pounds of cotton
seed are equal to l22 pounds Of corn;
100 pounds cOttOnSeed meal are equal
to 100 pounds of cOttonSeed; 100
pounds cottonSeed meal are equal to
1872 pounds of corn.
From these feeding results we de-
eide that cottonseed at SPLIT per ton,
or So cents per buShel, cOttonSeed
meal at S34.27 per ton, and corn at
S17.S5 per ton, or SO cents per BUSH
ell, are about equally cheap for feeding
cattle.
One ton of cottonseed contains 64
pounds of nitrogen, at 15c. $3.50; q
pounds of phoS. acid, at sc, S1.35: %
pounds of potash, at sc, Sl.15.-Fer-
tilizer value of l ton OF seed. sl2.10.
When cotton seed is fed to beef
cattle and we get back IS per cent. Of
their original value in the manure,
one ton of seed will then have, at the
prices paid for commercial fertilizers,
a combined feeding and fertilizer val
ue Of S31.33 per ton, or 81 cents per
buShel.
For every bale of cotton produced
there are 1000 pounds, or 30 bushels
of seed. If these seed were led to
cattle and the manure saved with Or
dinary care and applied to the soil,
in the near future the South would
become the most productive and pros
porous section of this great country.

From the courthouse the veterans
led the way to Grenada College campus
where had been prepared an abundance
and variety of barbecued meats,
brunswick stew, and the choicest
viandS of various kinds to allure the
taste and satisfy the appetite.
In order to avoid even the pOSSibil-

might have special attention, their
dinner was served to them i'm the
spacious dining hall Of the College,
while, the other guests of the occasion
were served on the college campus. 1t
was splendid dinner, and the details
of the management were perfect in
every respect. Too much can not be
said of the untiring work of many Of
our ladies and the special attention
they showed the veterans. A brass
band from Water Valley dispensed the
music Of the occasion, and as usual the
strains of "Dixie +" brought forth the
rebel yell and stirred the youthful
heart. 1t was a great day for the vet
erans and one that will long be remem-
bered.
