Little NeEr" Patient at New Yerx Hospital Makes the Doc

Mirth and misery commingle oddly 1t times to Tighten the burden of wretehedness and Woe which is the lot of the unfortunates who are inmates of the city's great hospitals. A score of wan faced sufferers were distributed among the neat white cots of a medical ward in Bellevue one day when new patient was brought in. He was dim;nutive colored man. short, squat. thick-set, black as ebony, with heavy pr0trudi1g lips and a bullet shaped head sparsely sprinkled with kinky gray black hair. He said he was George Smith, B years old, and was born in "Loudon county, Nirginy, sah." AZ was quiet in the ward save an occasion al groan from some weary sufferer, when the doctors, four of them, grave faced aud dignitied, came to examine the new arrival.
 Wei, George. how do you feel? asked the house physician, bending over the cot.
 The little darky looked at the doctors aslance for moment, rolled his big eyes around, aud said mournfully:
 '''se hungry"
 Have you any paiu? asked the doc tor.
 No, sah, 'ceptin' Tse hungry"
 Then the doctors proceeded to make the usual examination. In the middle of his back they found a criss-cross cicatriX
 How did you get this?" the doctor asked.
 "Cow-bunkie." repted the patient serseiy.
 "Wha,'s ,h.sc" continued the inquis- itor, placing his finger on big depres- sion In the calf oe the patients leg.
 "Dorg chawed it." said Smith, apa' theticaliy. A smile fitted across the faces of the doctors and patient in the next cot forgot to moan, Next the physician found d mass of irregular scars. which looked as if an eigh t-inch shell had exploded and lefe its marks upon ths patients face aud neck.
 "Explosion?" queried the doctor, pointing to the spot. i "Mewl kicked me, Sa smith with a you-make- -me-tired air. Even the grave equanimity of tho 1 men of medicine was disturbed, and pa ,ients in adjacent cots laughed out right. Further examination showed a 1 network of scars on his face and neck resembling the tractss in the New York i Central freight yards.
 ''Razer fite." was Smiths expiara- tion.
 And where did you get these?" said the doctor, with an amused smile, lay ing his fingers on three big welts on ths nagro's scalp,

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-03-30

Olympia, WASH, March 30.-The
government has purchased equipment
for wireless telegraph stations for
North Head, near the mouth of the
Columbia and for Tatoosh Island. so
writes the secretary OF the navy to
Acting Governor Coon.
Secretary Bonaparte incloses a re-
port from the chrief OF the bureau of
equipment of the navy department.
which states that the masts for these
stations are now being built at tine
Puget Sound navy yard.
The Tatoosh Island station is in
tended to communicate with the
North Head station. and one to be
erected In the vicinity OF Admiralty
Head and with vessels equipped with
telegraph sets at intermediate points.
Sites have also been selected for sta
ti0ns at Cape Blanco and Table Bluff.
Stations will be connected with To-
ca, telegraph and telephone lines
wherever practicable. When COM
pleted as designed there will be an
ntercommunicating chain from San
Diego 10 Admiralty Head. to which
chain Mare Island and the Puget
Sound navy yard will have connec-
tions. This chain is being built as
rapidly as funds viii permit 1t during
the next fiscal year.

Navy Wants No Junk Piles.

Washington, ID. c., March 36.-The
navy department Is disposed to resist
the plan OF placing a limit of cost
upon repairs of steel vessels. In the
case of wooden ships this restriction
equals 10 per cent of the cost of the
new vessel. and any such rule applied
to steel vessels would practically pro-
hibit the current work OF ,aiteration,
which may now be done on'-board the
battleships and armored cruisers
without special authority of congress.
The 10 per cent limitation would
Interfere with all of the larger pro-
jects for naval repair such as that
recently accomplished on the Indiana
and now proposed for the Massachu-
setts at che Brooklyn navy yard.
Resr Admiral Capps, the chssI con-
structor Of the navy, is of the 0pinion
that the limitation should not he less
than 80 per cent. and most Of tthe
naval experts believe that no sI,-ciai
advantages is to be derived from hav-
ing limit of cost applied to repairs
OF steel vessels, unless, OF course,
congress is willing to maintain "a
large -'rosten row. and aid new ships
10 the active service each year to take
the place OF those sent to the junk
heap. The limitation is proposed as
n provision in the next naval appro-
priation act, and II It is enacted into
law II is likely there will be much
embarrassment of the service.

WILL TAP SALMON RIVER.
Burlington Ditch Company VIII Sc
cure Larger Water Supply.

In order TO secure a sufficient SUP
ply of water to irrigate their magni-
ficent tract of arid land in the north
part of Umatilla county, the Burlin-
game Ditch company of Gardena, is
now making application to the United
States government for permission to
tap the Salmon river, which heads in
the Wenaha forest reserve, for the
purpose of increasing the flow in
their immense ditch which is now
about complete.
The ditch now heads at the Walla
Walla river. and owing to the vast
number of other bitches taking water
from that stream, the Burlingame
ditch company that the supply from
the Walla Walla river will not always
be sufficient for the large area of land
under thei rditch.
Salmon river is practically unused
and will afford an inexhaustible sup
ply of mountain water. By extending
canal a few miles into the Blue
mountains, the Burlingame people
could tap the head waters of Salmon
river and thus secure a perpetual sup
ply.
Land under the Burlingame ditch is
very valuable. one seven-acre tract
selling for $3.50 per acre, and other
tracts have recently sold for like
prices.

NEIGHBORS FIGHT AT KAMELA.
Children and Sheep Said to Be Re-
Sponsible for Feud

Trouble is raging at Kamela. and
from the accounts that have been re-
ceived from there feud is raging
that promises to rival those of the
Dark and Bloody Ground"
According to accounts, the trouble
in the neighborhood is of long stand
ing and started originally through
school children quarrels. Later it
grew into family fights until almost
the entire neighborhood was involved.
Yesterday general melee occurred.
in which about dozen men, women
and children took part rocks and
other missiles being freely used.
This morning Mr.. and Mrs. H. ].
Newcomb appeared before District At
torney Phelps for the purpose of maxi
ing complaint against some of their
belligerent neighbors. They declare
that one of the McCoys had been
driving some sheep on their land, and
that when they ordered him off a
general fight followed. Their appear
ances indicated such to the district at
torney.
However, as the affair was a neigh
borhood quarrel and one in which he
held all to be partly at fault, the dis
trict attorney did not issue any war
rants. Instead, he has written severe
letters to the various parties involved,
telling them that should further trou-
BILE result he will prosecute all often
ders. Also, he broadly hinted that the
county finances would be improved
should he be required to do so.
1t Is said the trouble at Kamela has
grown so bitter that should 1t con-
tinue bloodshed may result.

Only Local Strikes Possible.

indianapolis, March 30.-The con-
vention this afternoon adopted a res
olution under which there will be no
strike anywhere except where local
mine operators refuse to sign the 1908
scale. 1t refers only to the bitumi-
nous situation.
Vice-President Lewis spoke against
the Robbins proposition, because he
said when the operator is compelled
to sign, it will ultimately reduce
wages.
Mitchell wired an answer to Baer
saying that If there is no agreement
prior to April 1. all anthracite miners,
except men to man the pumps and
preserve property will quit work. He
also, told Baer he is now waiting in
response TO a suggestion for a joint
meeting Tuesday

MILLS FOR WALLA WALLA.
Woolen Man Now Looking Over the
Field There.

Walla Walla, March 30.-A chance
to secure the erection of a large
woolen mill has been offered to Wal
la Walla. The proposition has been
presented to the Walla Walla Com
mercial club by John P. Wilbur, SUI
perintendent Of the Union Woolen
mills located DIT Union, Ore.
In letter to Secretary Mcdonald
Mr.. Wilbur states that he contem-
plates the establishment of woolen
mill either in eastern Oregon or
Washington. He says he had heard so
much recently Of Walla Walla and as
It had been suggested to him 1t would
be one of the best cities in the coun-
try to locate such an establishment,
he had concluded to lay the subject
before the people Of this city.

CAUSE OF DEATH ESTABLISHED.
Mcyicar Was Killed by Morphine and
CblOrnl.

stockton, Cal, March 3O.-Albert
n. McVicar came to his death from
morphine and chloral poisoning. Cor
oner Southworth this morning receiv-
ed the following from Roy r. Rogers
chemist of San Francisco:
Examination of the stomach, pam
crea and liver disclosed a small guam
tity of chloral and large quantity of
morphine. Persistent efforts to find
cyanide of potassium result in positive
proof of its absence"
No morphine or chloral was found
IN McVicar's or Mrs. Ledoux's effects.
The inquest will be held this after
noon. The defense will probably be
that Mrs. Ledoux did not administer
the poison, but 1t will probably be
admitted she did put the body in the
trunk,

Washington, March 30.-The cabi-
net this afternoon adjourned after
two hours and half discussion of the
coal situation. Loeb announced that
the president had not yet answered
the operators telegram, and proba-
bly, no step will be taken in the mat
ter today.
If the president follows the cabi-
nets advice he will not interfere with
the coal situation. 1t Is understood
ne was counseled 1t would be mad
visable to appoint an intermediary
commission now. 1t was pointed out
the miners and operators have not
exhausted all means to avert strike.
Washington, March 30.-The presi-
dent has received a telegram from
Mitchell and Robbins declaring that
at least so per cent of the operators
are willing to sign the scale demand
ed by the miners. This is taken to
mean the miners believe there is no
cause az yet for the presidents in
terfcrence.
Later.-Mitchell is definitely re-
corded as favoring emphatically,
Robbins plan of work, and the re-
establishment of the 1903 scale, and
substantiated the statement to Pres
ident Roosevelt that so per cent of
the coal tonnage of the county also
favurs 1t.

With appropriate services a monu-
ment will be placed tomorrow fore
noon at the west end of Webb street,
where the old immigrant trail crosses
the road leading to Camas Prairie.
The ceremony will occur at IL o'clock,
and all who can attend are asked to
join the procession which will start
at 1890 from Ezra Meeker's camping
ground back of the East Oregonian
building.
AT a meeting of the board of man
ayers of the Commercial association
held late yesterday afternoon, Mr..
Meeker told of his plans for erecting
small monuments at various places
along the old immigrant trail in order
to mark the historic route. At a
number of the places through which
he has already passed this has been
done by popular subscription. Since
his arrival here he had found that
suitable tablet could be placed at the
junction of the old road with Webb
street for about s25.
After Mr.. Meeker had presented
his proposition, DR., C. ]. Smith moved
that the same be accepted by the
board of managers, and that a sub
scription be raised to defray the ex-
pense. The motion wes carried and
each member present subscribed 81
towards the fund, and the rest was se-
cured later from other parties.
DR.. Smith, who is a member of the
school board, also said he would take
steps to have as many school children
as possible attend the dedication
ceremonies.
Colonel ]. H. Raley will deliver the
dedication address tomorrow fore
noon. He was selected for the honor
because he crossed the plains with
his parents when but child, and has
been resident of the county ever
since.
Lecture Was Appreciated. !,
Last night Ezra Meeker delivered
lecture in the circuit court room. at
the court house and a good sized audi
ence was present. The most of the
lecture was devoted to a narration of
the journey across the plains in the
early days. Many interesting incidents
were described, and the stereopticon
views showing scenes along the trail
greatly helped the program.
