MOTOR CAR COMING WEST.
Portland Company Experimenting
New Mode of Transportation.

La Grande. April IA motor car,
transportation medium that is still
in the experimental stage, was trailed
into La Grande this morning from
Huntington. The car was built at
Omaha for the Portland interurban
service and is being taken there by
r. NJ. Rierd, an expert in motor ma
chimes.
The trip was very successful up to
Huntington, where the siX-cylinder
engine was broken and the cars had
to be trailed to La Grande. Coming
over the plains the motive power car
ried the large car and trailer at the
rate of so miles an hour.
The trailer is mail and express
car combination, while the car con-
tanning the engine is built on the pas
senger coach plan and will accommo-
date so people. Motive power is a
gasoline motor and rests on the front
truck and is built for speed as well as
for heavy work. The pilot of the car
is pointed so as not to be retarded by
the air, and contains the controlling
levers.
The car is somewhat shaken up by
its rough trip, but with the exception
of the accident to the engine, every
thing is pointing to the fact that the
experiment will be successful. There
are eight of these machines in use
and this particular machine is an inn
provement over them all.

RIVER BOATS SAVE FREIGHT
Cargo of Merchandise Unloaded at

The Mountain Gem unloaded a car
go of freight from Portland for mer-

druggist: H. a. Howe, and probably
others, received their goods in good

As soon as a regular schedule of
sailings is announced by the Open
River association for the Gem and
the other boats on the river, our
are unanimous in saying
that they will have the bulk of their
goods shipped by the water route as
soon as the draw which will be COM

SALOONS BEGIN A FIGHT.
Liquor Interests Will OPP
pose Local Option.

Walla Walla, April 17.-Walla
Walla saloon men have received cir
cular letters from the Washington
State Liquor Dealers association ad-
vising them to oppose the campaign
started by the anti-saloon organiza- =
tion. A bitter fight is apparent be-
tween the saloon and temperance
forces this fall.
The temperance people have al
ready started a movement all over
the state to elect Legislators antagon-
istic to the saloon men. This sudden
activity on the part of the anti-saloon
forces has. stirred up the liquor deal
ers and the campaign, directed by the
state saloon organization, has COM
menced in earnest.
Local option in its various forms
viii be the particular issue opposed
by the liquor interests. The men,
bers of the state association have been
urged to insist that the nominees for
the legislature shall agree not to sup
port the bills of the temperance as
sociation and to fight for the protec-
tion of their interests.

DEATH IN A PRIMROSE.
CutaneOus Diseases Resulted From
Contact With the Flower.

London, April 1.-THE official in
vestigation of the death of a woman
of 29 years who died near this city
under peculiar circumstances has led
to an interesting discovery. 1t was
found that the woman who was just
recovering from an attack of influen-
"a, accidentally scratched her nose
with variety of primrose, brought
from Central China and known under
the botanical name of Primula OBJ
conica. The nose rapidly swelled up
and became discolored, and despite
surgical treatment, the poison con-
tinued to spread. The patient died
at the end of week with symptoms
of pneumonia.
This is the third case of acute in
flammation of the skin and subcuta-
neous tissues reported to the medical
authorities, caused by infection
through primula obconica. In every
case the infection took place in the
face. 1t is also reported that a spe-
cies of eczema of the hands often af-
fects gardeners when tending that
plant
