HITTING THE BIG RIDGE TRAIL.
Dissipated Sheepherder Believed to Be
About "All in

Harry Mcdonald, sheepherder and
professional drunk, is now in a fair
way to cross the Big Ridge as result
of his continued dissipation. This
morning Marshal Gurdane found him
suffering with that particular ailment
known as Snakes" and he locked
him up in the city bastile for safe
keeping. He was covered with mud
from having lain out all night and to
use the language of the marshal, he
was about "all in"
AS a drunk Harry probably holds
record unequalled by any other man
in this section. He has passed his
life herding sheep and when off duty
he has been a steady, consistent
"booze fighter" But for him the fight
is nearly over.
A few days ago Mcdonald had be-
come so obnoxious around town that
he was ordered to leave by Marshal
Gurdane, who threatened to lock him
up permanently If he did not go. So
Harry decided he would go. Secur-
ing some clean clothes he made the
rounds of several saloons to tell his
bartender friends farewell. At each
place he was given a flask of whisky
as a parting token. This was his
downfall, for he evidently could not
bear to see the liquor go unused.
When he reappeared this morning his
condition was interpreted as meaning
that he had not gotten beyond the
outskirts of the city. When found by
the marshal he was dirty. foul
smelling mass, to unclean for any
place other than the city Jail.

NEW WAY OF KILLING MOTH.
Grand Ronde Valley Farmers Hit Up
on Novel Decice.

A Portland paper comments upon
a new method of killing codling moth
discovered hy Grand Ronde fruitmen
as follows:
A Grand Ronde valley fruit farmer
announces the discovery of a simple
means for the determination of the
codling moth. The simplicity of the
device is attractive, whether its eff
ficacy can be demonstrated or not.
It possesses the added charm Of nov
city, which involves some hitherto un-
discovered personal attributes Of the
moth himself.
Simply stated, the scheme is to pro-
cure supply of coal oil cans, cut
them down to a height of some eight
or 10 inches, paint the bottoms black
on the inside: when the paint is dry
pour in four to six inches of water
set them out under the apple trees
and the moth will do the rest.
As to the philosophy of the project,
therein is embodied the feature of
prime interest. Evincing a measure
of mentality previously unsuspected,
the moth Ill seeking to better his for
tunes is entrapped by base deception.
The water, against the black back
ground in the bottom of the can, pre-
scnts n mirror-like surface. In this,
by reflection of the foliage in which
hc makes his home, the moth fancies
he has discovered a new and untried
field for his activities. There are new
buds and blossoms and twigs and
leaves below that he has never notic-
ed before: and with cupidity aroused
to the highest pitch he lets go the for
tune already his, and. like many an
individual III the nohlest order of
creation, soon finds himself the vic
tim of wicked deceit.

That portion of Secretary Hitch
cocks report referring to the dis
posal of public lands during the past
year contains some valuable informa-
ton tending to show the rapid de-
crease of the public domain.
Since a large amount of land in
Umatilla county was disposed of the
people of this county will be interest
ed in the land business of the gov
ernment for the past year. Secretary
Hitchcock says:
There were disposed of during the

ments, etc., 1851, 1O2.5S acres, and
Indian lands, S5,743.31 acres, showing
an increase of 2, 374,565.20 acres as

of records and plats, $30,225; aggre-
gate, s7,5S5,52S.90; an increase of
$567,712,52, as compared with the
preceding fiscal year.
The total expenses of district land
offices, for salaries and commissions
of registers and receivers, incidental
expenses, and expenses of depositing
public moneys during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1906, were $7S0,417.-
so, a decrease of s37,921.51, as COM
pared with the fiscal year ended June

WANT NEW PENITENTIARY.
Washington's Governor Recommend
State RefOrmatOry Prison.

Walla N'alla will not be the only
penitentiary city in Washington If the
plans recommended by Governor
Mead's reformatory commission are
carried out.
At a meeting held in the Alaska
building in Seattle recently the scheme
of having an institution for offenders
between the ages of 1G and 80 located
on a section of land near some con-
venient center of population, was dis
cussed. The idea was for the con-
victs to do the major portion of the
work of constructing the building and
also to till the land around the same.
The scheme is the outcome Of the
report of the special commission which
recently visited the penitentiary and
recommended reformatory.

uMAIILLA HOUSE SOLD.
Historic Hotel at The Dalles Change.
Hands.

liandS.
A correspondent of the Oregon
Daily Journal at The Dalles, says:
A deed has been filed in the office
of the county clerk by j. s. Fish &
Co., conveying to T. N. Crofton, of
Centerville, Washington, the Umatilla
house and the land on which 1t Is
situated, The consideration named in
the deed was 81 and other valuable
considerations which may mean $780,
600 or even 100000, but the pur-
chase price is not known.
The Umatilla house was first estab-
lished In 1851 by Mr.. Plummer, and
sold by him to 7. c. Handley and n.
b. Sirnott In 1868. 1t continued In
their possession until 80, when. Hand
ley died and Sinnott's son-in-law
Judd s. Fish, became partner and
the firm name was changed to Sim
mott & Fish. Sinnott died in 1897,
and the heirs continued the business
under the firm of Fish & Sinnott.
Perhaps no other hotel keeper OF
the state was so well known as Sim
mott, and his fish stories and reminis-
cences of acquaintance with promi-
| nent men in the nation are we'll re-
mcmbered all over the state.
The Umatilla house is one of the
Oldest hotels east of the Cascades, and
ut its tables have been fed two genera
tions. 1t will still remain landmark
of the northwest.
Mr.. Crofton, the new owner, is pro-
prietor of the Centerville hotel, and
tat county.
