Gray Wolfe to Alter.

Dear Madam: Would you kindly

plain front gore. The rest is shirred
around the hip and knee. The waist
Is shfrred onto deep lace yoke, but
toned In back, and has bishop sleeves.
Ara tail and slight. "A. B. r..
Ny idea would be to release all the
shirring and simulate skirt box
pleated into the belt by making two
side pleats to turn in opposite direc-
tions. The marks of the shirring will,
I think, press out, and then I should
trim 1t there with rows Of narrow rib
| bon matching the color Of the wolfe.
Another suggestion which will be the
better plan, supposing the marks re-
main, would be, to cover with broad
band Of gray taffeta edged with a
knife-pleated frill, and then trim the
bottom Of the skirt as you have chosen
at knee length. The front panel re-
mains as it is. By way Of bringing

| THRILLING EXPERIENCE
Brake Block Shifts and one Horse is
Killed on Pamburn Hill.


While coming to town with load
of wheat Fred Garden encountered a
thrilling experience in descending the
steep hill at the Pamburn place south
of the city. The brake block slipped
out of place and the two heavily
loaded wagons crowded forward on
the four horse team. Fat express speed
the outfit flew down the hill. Garden
was utterly helpless aud when near
the bottom of the steep incline one of
the wheel horses fell and was rolled
and dragged for considerable dis
tance. The horse never attempted to
get up. Every rib on one side was
found to be broken and the animal
was killed by its owner.
That bad luck follows fellow in
spots, Garden without doubt believes
Wednesday while coming in with a
load his trail wagon became detached
and letting the brake slack slightly
while he was in kneeling position on
the ground, the wagon crashed into
him with the result that one of his
ribs was badly fractured.

SALOON CASE
EcElrath Charged With Violating
Local Option Law, Closes Up.

Pendleton, August 29.--District
Attorney Phelps today filed informa
tion in the circuit court charging
James McElrath, the Freewater saloon
man, with violation of the local op-
tion law. Yesterday the case of Nc
Elrath was brought up in the justice
court at Freewater, several complaints
having been made against the saloon
man. However, the district attorney
preferred to try the matter out in the
circuit court, and so moved to dis
miss the justice court case.
It is the intention to try the case
here as speedily as possible, and the
facts will probably be stipulated so
that jury trial will be necessary.
In the meantime McElrath has agreed
to keep his saloon closed. As Circuit
Judge Bean was county judge at the
time the order for the Freewater local
option election was issued, it is prob
able that judge will be secured from
some adjoining district to try th Q
case in the circuit court.

SPOKANE BOY A MURDERER
Kills HIS Father With an AK to Sc
cure Money for Clothes.

The mangled body of James f.
Sloan, one of Spokane's best known
business men, is now lying on a
marble slab at the morgue. His own
son. Sidney, the boy whose homecom
ing he welcomed with hug and a
kiss but three days ago, is prisoner
in the city Jail, the confessed perpet-
rator of this most awful crime.
Deliberate, cold blooded, horrifying
were the details of the deed worked
out by this 10 year old boy. Care
fully were the traces covered, with
painstaking deliberation were the
evidences of the guilt wiped away and
with the skill of an old and hardened
criminal was the whole diabolical
deed conceived, perpetrated and hid
den-all in vain.
Face to face with his accusars, the
Jail doors just before him, the new
ness of his career and the mental
weakness of the boy did their work.
He broke down and confessed it all
He told detail after detail. He ex-
planned the motives, the plans, the
act. and last, but by far the most ter
rifying the work he did to hide from
the police the evidence Of his crime.
Sidney Sloan had wanted money.
His father had refused to buy him a
new suit of clothes this week. He de-
termined that at any cost he would
have the golden pieces that bring the
luxuries of the fast life he is reported
to have lived.
To get the money he killed his father
by crushing his head with an AK while
| asleep. The boy carried the body
down the stairway into the street and
placed it into wheelbarrow. BE
then wheeled the corpse to an alley
some distance from his home. The
tell-tale track made by the wheelbar-
row was the first clue given the
officers, and they soon had the con
fession from the boy murderer.

TALKS OF ALBERTA
Pendleton Man Says Country
Is 0verestimated
DOOMED BY MANY BOOSTERS
Judgment is that Irrigated Lands Of
Umatilla County are Cheaper
and Advantages Better.

There are two grades of land in AL
berta--good and bad. Around Clares-
holm and Nanton, where many Una.
tilla county people have settled, no
irrigation is needed and farming is
said to be profitable. From all reports
outside of the Nanton zone the pro-
ductive qualities of the country are
of practically no worth in proportion
to what the land sells for and the cost
of bringing 1t under cultivation.
w. r. Frey returns from Alberta
with big bunch of facts stored away
in his observatory and memory which
are calculated to disillusionize the
most ordinary judicious and cautious
people about that country says the
East Oregonian In general terms
Alberta is very badly .overrated, fact
that is coming home with painful en-
phasis to the thousands of American
investors in that country many of
whom are now using the most strenu-
Gus efforts to sell out and leave the
country.
Mr.. Frey states that the volume of
immigration into Alberta from the
states has been grossly exaggerated as
in his opinion there are not more than
1900 Americans in Alberta instead of
the $4,000 which the magazines and
boosters would have the public be-
lieve.
Speaking of the motion, Mr.. Frey
states that land is held higher in Al
berta now than corresponding land is
held in Umatilla and all over eastern
Oregon at this time. in spite of the
fact that railroad, educational aud
social advantages are vastly superior
here to those in Alberta, which is a
new, raw and undeveloped country
and, in Mr.. Frey's opinion, liable to
always be new, raw and undeveloped.
Three times within the last 80 years
has Alberta had the same experience
it is having now an influx of hopeful,
misguided homeseekers who have
swarmed out more enthusiastically
than they swarmed in.
Dry land, not irrigable, is held
there now at $15 per acre, while il
costs SO. so to clear it of sage brush

BRYAN's WELCOME
Great Commoner Greeted By

A sTUPEND1us GALA DAY
Greatest Reception Ever Given
Private Citizen rendered to the
Democratic Standard Bearer.

New York, Aug. 3O.-Between
crowds of countless thousands, that
lined both sides of Broadway from the
Battery to Central park, William J.
Bryan made his entry into New York
late this afternoon after an absence
from the country of nearly year.
Even those whose political faith held
them aloof from the popular demon
stration were bound to admit that it
was "triumphal'' entry, the like of
which the metropolis had not seen
since the return of Admiral Dewey
after his victory at Manila bay.
The plans as arranged by the several
committees we're carried out without
hitch. As the distinguished Ne
braskan, with Governor Folk of Mis-.
souri, at his side, rode up Broadway
the crowds cheered, men waved their
hats and women waved greetings with
their handkerchiefs. From curb to
building line the sidewalks were close
ly packed with men, women and chill
dren struggling for place of van
tage from which TO get view of the
central figure of the days demonstra
tion. Doorways were filled, the roofs
of buildings were thronged and every
window held its party Of spectators.
The hotels aud many houses were
decorated for the occasion.
Mr.. Bryan was pleased with the
warmth of the demonstration in his
honor. He bowed cordially both right
aud left in response to the cheers of
the crowd and several times expressed
his pleasure to those about him.

Old Land Mark Gone.

One of the oldest land marks in
Umatilla county was completely
destroyed Tuesday night when the
Tanning house at the mouth Of Mckay
creek burned to the ground, says the
East Oregonian. The burned house
was one of the Oldest in this section of
the county, and when built was one
of the best in the county. It was
erected SO years ago, two years after
the county seat was moved to Pen
dleton from Umatilla, and IL years
before the building of the railroad.
The lumber for the house was hauled
from Umatilla Landing.
