Myrtle Upton, convict, is serious

the Bulletin.
The girl has been In the habit of
carrying number of pins in her
mouth, in spite of admonitions that it
was dangerous, while engaged in sew

she accidentally swallowed one of
them. It lodged in her throat, and so
far down that the physician has SO fur
been unable to remove it, although he
has made several attempts.
She can hardly swallow food or
water on account of the pin.
DR.. Lane, the prison physician,
states that unless the pin can be re-
moved today an operation will have
to be performed.
Myrtle Upton is the girl who Great

Report Comes From Washington But II
Is Probably False.
Again GENES the rumor that Walla
Walla's army post, Fort Walla Walla,
may be in danger. A Washington d.
c., special to the Oregonian, dated
last Tuesday. states:
Secretary Taft today declared it to
be the intention of the general staff of
the army ultimately to buy the Ameri-
can lake camp near Tacoma, when
they can procure the necessary appro-
priation, and establish brigade post
at that point. Army officers consider
this an ideal location for permanent
post of this size. Nothing can be done,
however, until congress appropriates
the money to buy the grounds, which
may be in the remote future.
''The establishment of brigade
post at American lake will not affect
Vancouver Barracks in any way, but
may lead to the abandonment of Fort
Wright and Walla Walla. However,
the whole matter is yet in advance
stage, nothing definite having yet
been decided upon.

AN HISTORIC RELIC
Tree From Which Lewis &
Clarke Made Canoe.
FOUND BY LEWISTON MAN
Indian Guided Him Up the Clearwater
Where Boat Was Made lO1
Years Ago.

Mrs. H. H. Hill returned home from
Lewiston Sunday, after a visit of sew
eral weeks duration with relatives in
the Idaho town. Mr.. Frank Parkyn,
brother-in-law of Mrs. Hill, recently
made a trip to the Clearwater river
and foated down on raft the tree
from which Lewis & Clark's men
hewed canoe, which was nsed by
the party in descending that stream
to the Snake and Columbia rivers.
Mr.. PaIkyn is an old time friend of
the members of the Nez Perces
tribe of Indians, and for years has
held the confidence of the head men
of the tribe.
1t will be remembered by those ia
miliar with the Lewis & Clark diary
kept by the two pathfinders, of their
hazardous journey to and from the
Pacific ocean, mention is made of
leaving their horses with member of
the Pierced Nose tribe-Nez Perces.-
at point on Clarks Fork of the Lewis
river. Years ago, Mr.. Parkyn formed
the acquaintance of the grandson of
the warrior in whose charge the horses
were left.
From time to time stories Of the ex-
istence of this tree have been repeat
cd, and with the inauguration and
successful termination Of the Lewis
y CLARK fair at Portland, growing in
terest in these stories has resulted.
In the Lewiston region the existence
Of the historic tree was never doubt
ed, but until Mr.. Parkyn took the
matter up no one could induce the In
dians to divulge the secret of its loca-
tion. He finally obtained the consent
OF his Indian friend to pilot him to
the place. The tree, huge and stately
fir was found where it had been felled
by the AK strokes of the Lewis 81 CLARK
party. Out of its capaeious dimen
sions there had been hewn canoe
time and elements having failed to
destroy with decay the cavity made
by the workmen of 101 years ago.
Mr.. Parkyn now has the historic
and valuable relic at Lewiston.

mitchell NOT GUILTY
Jury Finds For Slayer Of
Holy Roller Crestield.
AUDIENCE CHEERS AT VERDICT.
Prisoner Thanks the Jurors and Says
He Has No Regrets For
His Actions

1t took the Seattle jury in the trial
of George Mitchell just an hour and
20 minutes to determine that the
youth was not guilty of murder in
killing "Holy Roller" Crest6eld in
Seattle on May Z.
The verdict was read at quarter
to five Tuesday afternoon and was
greeted with round OF applause from
the excited audience.
Every face assumed happy express
sion and many women were hystercal-
ly weeping through their smiles when
the verdict was read.
A few minutes later the prisoner
was discharged from custody. He
shook hands with the jurors and then
was treated to general ovation. Men
and women crowded up close to the
rail to shake hand with the youth who
was clearly the hero of the hour.
AS he went down the stairs to the Jail
to gather up a few of his effects, and
as ne told farewell to the jailors and
a few of his fellow prisoners Of the
past few weeks, his way was blocked
by people eagerly crowding over the
banisters to catch a glimpse of the
acquitted youth.
When asked as to his feelings with
regard to the killing and as to the
ordeal which has thus suddenly term
mated, the young man replied that
when he killed Crestfield he hardly
knew what he was doing SO worked up
ne had become by the wrongs he and
his sisters had suffered. He stated that
ne could not regret be had removed
the man from possibility of harming
his family.
Mitchell will leave tomorrow for
Portland where he will probably re-
sumo his position in the mill which
he held previous to the killing of
Crestfeld.

YALE WILL SELL Big Tract of Land Near East Rock is to Be Placed on tho
 Market
WAS GIVEN TO THE COLLEGE

New Haven, Oct 20.-The Yale university authorities have decided to place in the local market for sale the great tract of unimproved land on Cold Spring street in the neighbor- hood of East Rock. It is part of a much greater tract of land obtained by bequest many years ago by the college and of which parts have from time to time been disposed of. This action is in accord with-the policy announced by Treasurer McClung in his last report of disposing of the local unimproved realty except in cases where it would interfere with the growth of the university. If such property is sold 1t becomes immedi- ately available for local taxation, from which hitherto 1t has been ex- empt, an exemption confirmed by a ruling of the Connecticut supreme court several years ago. The land to be disposed ifs of good quality and in neighborhood through which the city is paridly extending. The tract is 1880 feet, or more than third of mile, infrontage, with a depth of 300 feet.

SEVEN MEN DROWNED
Two American Steamers Wrecked and Many Homes Were
 Destroyed.

Havana, Oct 2O.--Reports of tho damage done by the storm in the in- terior of the island continue to come in slowly. The extent of the damage done to the tobacco crop in the prov- ince of Pinar del Rio is believed to be great. Many of the seed beds have been washed out. necessitating replanting, which will retard the crop. The storm is reported have been very severe in the Vuelta Aba1o district of Pinar del Rio.
 The principal havoc outside of Ha. yana is reported to have been at Bataba1o. where seven men were drowned, the American steamers Campbell and Sara were wrecked. many houses were destroyed and 200 persons were rendered homeless. The mayor of Batabano has issued an ap- peal for relief for the destitute and Governor Nunez of Havana province will proceed there to-day with funds and food supplies.
 The brunt of the storm seems to have been sustained by the city of Havana and Its suburbs. No more deaths have been reported.

Tue Well Known Yatchsman Will Ty For Trophy Presented By
 Himself
WILL BUILD NEW YATcHT

Chicago, Oct 20.-Sir Thomas Lip ton will build a twenty-one foot rac- ing yacht and enter the annual races of the Columbia Yacht club next year for the trophy given by himself.
 For some time pressure has been brought to bear on Sir Thomas to have him build boat for the races in the Chicago harbor, but not until yesterday did the donor of the Pip ton cup give his final answer. The English baronet made known his de- cision after a conference with com mittee from the Columbia Yacht club.
 After the meeting Sir Thomas dis cussed his plans for building the challenger. The boat will be made from a design of either Hope or Payne, two of the greatest designers in Great Britain. In all probability after the design has been selected, the boat will be constructed in Can ada. It is possible the challenger will sail under the colors of some Canadian club.
 Sir Thomas will, in all probability, come to Chicago to see the races sailed next year.
 Tn fact" said he, 'I don't know but I may sail on my own boat in the race. I should like to try this fresh water sailing"

OHIO'S VEGETABLE FREAK.
Farmer Says He Grows Pumpkin That
 Tastes Like Tomato.

Farmer Says He Grows Pumpkin That
 Tastes Like Tomato.
 The pumpkatoor, or the tomakin, whichever it may be called, is the lat est addition to the flora of Ohio, says Gallipolis O. correspondent of the Chicago Record Herald.
 It is the invention of Edward Womel- dorm. young farmer. Late In the sea- son he set out some climbing tomato plants close to telephone pole. Near by were pumpkin vines. One of the tomato plants and one of the pumpkin vines amalgamated. and the product of the confluence climbed the telegraph pole. The joint vine prolonged itself over the wires, and the current of cleo tricity pervaded it.
 Vegetables developed in the course of time, but while each retained its outward form each borrowed the char acteristics of the other. The tomato tasted exactly like pumpkin, and the pumpkin had the tomato flavor.
 The introduction of the electric cur rent from the telephone wires produc- ed curious result At night the pumpkins glow with yellow incan- descence, while the tomatoes are of q passionate red shade. The illumlna- ton is soft. but penetrating. Womcl- dorff says this is good feature be- cause the vine has plenty of light to work all night and so grows twice as fast.

CARS ARE SCARCE.
Freight Carriers on All the Lines
 Show Big Shortage.

Boston, Oct 20.-A shortage of freight cars on nearly all the rail- road lines carrying grain to this port is interfering to considerable ex- tent with Boston grain export busi- ness. Because of the delay, the Ley land line steamer Cambrian, which was scheduled to sail yesterday morning for London, was unable to leave because of the slow arrival of her consignment of grain. Eighty eight thousand bushels were sched- uled as part of her cargo, but up to last night when her clearing pa pers were issued she had received but 25.000 bushels. Nearly every steamer in the grain carrying busi- ness which has sailed from this port this week has met with the same de- lay and has been forced to depart with only portion of their sched- uled cargoes.
 Until the car shortage is over come. the shippers and steamship in- terests say they are unable to make plans for future shipments.
