HEIRS OF ALLOTTEES
Chamberlain Will Make En-
umeratiOn of Minors.
ARRANGEs CENSUS TAKING
Names of Children May Figure in
Future Allotments and Also In
Distribution Of Back Money.

Through arrangements made with
Major Edwards, Indian agent of the
Umatilla reservation, 0. q. Cham ber-
lain, justice of the peace for Athena
district, is taking census of enumer-
alton of the minors and heirs of re-
servation allottees residing in his
fficial jurisdiction. The enumera-
tion is made at the instance of the
Indian agent, but for what purpose
Mr.. Cham berlain is not in position
to say. However, it is the opinion
of Justice Chamberlain that the
names of the heirs and unallotted
minors on the reservation are wanted
by the department for convenience of
purpose relating to unsettled heirship
lands subject to litigation in the ac.
quirement of title; unalIotted land and
the future division of back money due
the Umatilla, Walla Walla and Cay
use Indians from the United States
government.
That the census is to figure ma
terially in future allotments is felt to
be reasonably certain, although there
is no such provision made for this re-
servation as obtains for minor heirs
on the Yakima reservation. On that
reservation as soon as an allottee's
child is old enough to receive name,
it is taken to the agency and promptly
allotted so acres of land.
1t is known to be Mr.. Edward 8
intention to direct his efforts with
the department that the same privi-
leges may be granted the minor heirs
on the Umatilla reservation.

MAIN Street BLOCKED BY CAR
Car on o. r. & N. Crashes Into the
street Sidewalk.

For the second time in the last few
weeks a car has broke over the blind
switch ON the o. r. & NJ, crashed
through the sidewalk and blocked the
north side of Main street at the cross
ing near the Pacific Coast Elevator
Go. warehouse.
In both instances the brakes on the
cars were found to be defective and did
not perform the duty expected of them.
In the former instance grain leaders
let the car get away from them, but
in this instance the train crew, while
switching, allowed the car to crash
into the sidewalk. There is quite a
grade on the side track where these
cars became unmanageable, and il the
brakes are not properly set and hold
we'll, the car is sure to slide along un-
til stopped by its weight breaking
through the sidewalk.

Work on Umatilla Dam.

The East Oregonian correspondent
says; Dirt is flying near Echo on the
dam for the East Umatilla irrigation
project. and while the work is going
on slowly on account of the scarcity
of men, it is sure, and it will not be
long before the work will be in pro-
gress for miles. The reclamation
service has had considerable trouble
in securing right of way, and had
commenced condemnation proceedings
against Joe Reams for privileges
through his property about mile and
half above Echo, when the matter
was adjusted satisfactorily to all con-
cerned, both parties making conces-
sions.

Our Guests the snowy owls.

Every few years, especially along the
sea coast and the larger rivers and
lakes, there is wave of those splendid,
day-hunting rascals-the snowy owls.
They are great fishermen, the only
owls to make this sort of hunting a
plactice, and may sometimes be seen
sitting, silent and mOtionless, like a
block of ice, at the edge Of the open
water, waiting for chance to nab an
unsuspecting fish. OF course, this is
not a very paying way to get living,
and they also catch tield-mice, musk
rats, hares, and even large birds like
quail or grouse. But there are only
two other birds of prey in our country
that habitually eat fish, and one Of
these seldom catches Its own, prefer
ring to eat the dead fish along the shore
or pirate it from the real fisherman
the osprey.-St. Nicholas.

the great banks of orange splendor In
the morning, the magnificence and bril-
lance of the noon, and the matchless
array of evening sunset.
1t is great to live out-of-doors, as our
Master did. My ideal Of the natural,
sane life is to be a nursling Of the
mountains, to know the wild things that
dwell In their recesses, the air of en-
chantment that haunts them. To have
the wholesome blood of forest pines in
your veins; to sleep all night beneath
the stars; to watch the day swing into
the purple bosom Of the night; to see
the lark come down across the morning
sky sideways on the wing; to follow the
brook as it wimples through the glen
to listen reverently with uncovered
head to the crash of the thunder, like
Gods great Amen, falling down the
stairway Of the skies to see the naked
elm as 1t shivers piteously in the
storm; to know the drama Of the sea-
sons, the rotation of flowers, the mur-
muir of the trees, the solitude of the
woods, the wildness of the moor, the
height of the hills, the purple Of the
evening" the rosy touch Of the dawn, the
roar of the surf, the rush of the waves,
the breath Of the brine. In word, to
go yonder where things are seen and
felt and heard; and there, with mind
open, alert and responsive, to behold
the whole epic of Gods out-of-doors.
That to me Is the truly sane life.
God made the country, man made
the town." That isn't hard to believe;
that is why life in the great city tends
to superficiality. People who live in
the city don't know much-I live in the
CITY, 1t is the man who lives and
works in the country who knows things.
city people are always talking. They
don't have time to think. The man In
the country must mediate, for he often
has only his thoughts for company.
What Is the trouble with your city
boy? He lacks the power of initiative.
Why does the lad from the country
win? Because when he wants thing
he must whip out his jackknife and

SUMMER CARE OF FURs.

Here Is an Excellent Method for the
Housewife to Use.
One Of the spring duties most dread
ed by the housewife is the putting
away Of winter furs, on account of the
unsatisfactoriness Of so many methods.
The Housekeeper publishes an excellent
and tried method for the care Of furs,
which will be widely appreciated. AS
spring approaches 1t is well to be on
the alert against the insidious moth,
as this is the time of year she deposits
her eggs. 1t is the maggot Of the moth
and not the little silver-winged insect
with which we are all familiar, which
is SO destructive to furs.
To prevent the ravages Of this insect,
furs before being put away should be
lightly beaten with thin rattan-care
being taken not to break the hair-and
allowed to hang in the sun for several
hours. They should then be combed
with clean comb, wrapped in news
paper and put in a chest lined with tin
or cedar. Unbleached muslin bags are
good substitute when chests are not
available. The use OF camphor is dele
terious, as in the case of the dark furs
sable. for instance-it has a decided
tendency to impair the richness of its
coloring, and the darker the sable the
more beautiful and valuable it Is. The
printers ink on the newspaper is equal
ly effective as camphor in keeping out
the winged moth and will not in the
least impair the color.
When it is found necessary to clean
the fur before putting it away, the fol-
lowing method, culled from grand
mothers notebook, has been found most
effective:
First, brush with a good, stiff brush
Have ready a quantity of new bran
which has been thoroughly heated. This
will require constant stirring to prevent
It's scorching. When well heated the
bran should be thoroughly rubbed into
the fur with the hands. This operation
should be repeated two or three times.
| The fur should then be taken and eff
| fectively brushed until not a particle
OF dust remains.
Ermine and other white furs can be
cleaned in like manner, substituting
flour for the bran, and rubbing against
| the trend of the fur. If very much
sOiled, the fur should be laid away for
a day or two in a closed compartment
after the -four has been well rubbed in.

A HARVEST AFTERMATH.
By Rev. D. F. Fox, D. D., G

By Rev. D. F. Fox, D. D., Chicago.
There are four great agencies that
have for their purpose the redemption
of man-the Divine, the angelic, the
human and the natural. We have all
heard sermons on the first three, but
at this fall season l wish to speak
briefly on the ministry of Nature; our
own Master drew most of his illustra-
tions from the great world Of Nature.
Longfellow, in his poem entitled after
math," eXclaims:
When the summer fields are mown,
When the birds are hedged and flown,
And the dry leaves strew the path;
With the cawing Of the crow,
With the falling of the snow,
Once again the fields we NOW
And gather in the aftermath.
That is to say, along with the crop of
grain the wise man gathers a harvest
of wisdom.
And first of all, let us not forget
what wonderful something this world
Of Nature Is Think of the power that
paints us August Moons and December
nights. Look at the clouds, lifting
moisture from the sea and carrying II
over mountain and valley; and as the
rain patters, children dance with glee
AS the benedictlon of the rain falls Oh
all the earth, the rose stands forth on
the cactus in the desert, the lily whitens
in the pool and harvests nod their
heads in thanksgiving and praise.
Now these clouds could do their work
Just as well by coming and going IL
straight lines, and they would answer
all practical purposes if they were c
somber black or dirty brown; that Is
the way man carries his freight acros:

THE WATER OF LIFE.
By Rev. J. W. Worsnop


Text.-"And the Spirit and the bride
say, Come. And let him that heareth
say, Come. And let him that is athlrst
say, Come. And whosoever will, let
him take the water Of life freely
Revelation 90: 1.
The expression, water Of life," Is
figuratlve and Is intended to convey to
our minds the idea of salvation. He
who drinks of the water of life takes
salvation into his soul salvation Is di-
vine life In the soul of man. 1t Is the
higher nature of man controlling the
lower; it Is the spirit keeping the body
under. Many think only of salvation
from hell, and If it were not for the
fear of hell they would not be Chris
tlans. That is a low conception of the
Christian life. There is no hell where
there Is no sin. Let any sin control
you-domlnate your llfe-and you have
hell within you.
The water Of life, however, fills the
soul with the highest love. 1t purifles
human love in every relationship In
which 1t Is manifested. The water Of
life Is in the Christians soul as a we'll
Of water springlng up into everlasting
life.
We are to drink this water of life
freely. 1t Is free gift from God to
us as the light we see and the air we
breathe. 1t cannot be purchased with
money, or obtained by proxy.
Did you ever feel soul thirst? II you
do, then you are the one alluded to In
the words, LET him that Is athirst
come" The water of life is the only
thing that can quench this thirst. 1t Is
useless to try to quench it with money,
ambition, fame and pleasure. While
money Is useful and good as a means
to an end, and as much as we may
decry 1t, we cannot get along without
1t; yet it can never quench this soul
thirst. 1t cannot even give bodily
health. 1t may purchase every kind of
medicine prescribed, get the best hotels
in the healthiest localities and all OBJ
tainable comforts, but 1t cannot give
peace of mind where there Is no peace,
and ease of conscience where there Is a
gnawing sense of guilt. Money can
brlbe men, but not death.
