LOOKED INTO HIS OWN LUNGS.
Nervy Feat of Walla Walla Man In
Surgical Operation.

Holding a mirror in his hand while
the operating physicians cut open his
chest and doctored his lungs was the
nervy feat performed by A. T.. Pike
at the Wala Wala hospital this
morning, says the Lewiston Tribune.
Mr.. Pike is father of Albert Brighton,
a member of the Lee Willard theatre
cal company now appearing at the
Binnard in this city.
Mr.. Brighton received word of the
successful operation on his father by
long distance phone this afternoon.
His father has been confined to his
bed for over a month, his lungs hav-
ing become filled with flour dust.
For weeks Brighton's father has not
taken a full breath, and heart action
has been stimulated by injections of
morphia. When an operation became
necessary the doctors decided 1t would
be unsafe to administer anaesthetics,
so the operation had to be performed
with the patient in full possession of
his faculties.
Brighton's father went through the
ordeal with a mirror in his hand
watching the knife-work of the doc
tors. After the operation the patient
demonstrated with the physicians be-
cause they would not permit him to
smoke a cigar for the first time since
his lungs have been free from the
flour dust.

tain scenery will cause considerable

SANITARIUM ON HILLTOP.
Boise Capitalists Plan n Health Resort
and Car Line.

a park of 1000 acres on top OF the
mountains north of Boise, where
there are springs of pure water gush-
ing forth the whole year, a large SAN
itarium for the accommodation of
seekers after better health. and a
winding electric road running from
Boise to this place of beauty and rest,
forms the basis of a scheme evolved
by +. c. Cook and which is looked
upon favorably by prominent busi-
ness men of the city, says the Boise
Statesman.
1t is believed by Mr.. Cook that to
erect a sanitarium on top of the
mountains mentioned, which would
be about seven or eight miles from
Boise. and build a car line to It, would
be one of the most practical invest
ments that could be made in or
around Boise. and that. it would be a
paying proposition from the begin
ming.
His idea Is to secure from the gov
ernment 500 to 1000 acres Of land
there and convert it into park.
There is enough water there, he
states, for that purpose. Then to
build the sanitarium. The water is
pure, the air is fresh i'm the mountains.
There is not a day, he says, during the
hottest weather of the summer when
the air is not cool and refreshing.

HOOD RIVER GROWING.
Wonderful Activity in Oregon's Lead
ing Fruit District.

A correspondent of the Oregon
Daily Journal from Hood River says
of the wonderful activity of that dis
trict.
Never in its history have so many
apple trees been set out in Hood River
valley as within the past 10 days. 1t
is estimated that 1000 acres of trees
have been planted this spring, with
about Ga trees to the acre, making
a total Of $4,000 trees. w. Van Horn
II. F. Davidson and C. r. Bone have
together planted 450 acres of trees,
and with many other growers who
have set out new orchards the num-
Der of acres put in Hood Rivers fa-
nous product it is said will reach the
above figure.
Other improvements in the valley
will include the erection of a $4,000
residence by Willis Van Horn on top
of large hill near his orchard, which
he has purchased, overlooking the
valley, and from which a fine view of
Mount Hood can be obtained. 1t is
Mr.. Van Horns intention to have the
house built on top of the knoll with
a circular driveway built around 1t,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-18

up which team will lbe able to as
cend at trot. 1t will be lighted by
electricity from the Hood River
Electric Light s. Power company by a
private wire from town and will be
the finest residence about Hood
River.
The end of the summer will see the
new 100000 plant of the Hood River
irrigation district in operation. The
company now has 75 men at work on
the ditch and it is expected that
more will be put on later. This will
give the apple growing district better
irrigation facilities than 1t has here
tofore had from the old plant, made
necessary by the setting out of many
new orchards.
1t is expected that the Mount Hood
railroad will market some of the ap-
pie product this year, thus saving
growers The long haul by wagon, by
which the fruit is frequently injured
The proposition of the company to
electrify it is meeting with a good
deal of enthusiasm by residents of the
valley.
