After Preparing Evideace of Breaches of
Law He Was Arrested.
The case Of the state versus Will
liam g. Day, charged with an offense
against deoency, was heard before the
superior court at Walla Walla. Day
was found guilty as charged. The
case attracted much interest, as be-
fore Days arrest he took a prominent
part in the reform movement launch
ed about three months ago, and which
resulted in several saloons losing
licenses.
Day acted as sort of stool pigeon
for the reformers and for several days
frequented the saloons gathering evil
dence of gambling and other violations
of the law. With this evidence, and
some additional, the reformers went
before the city council and after a
few star chamber" sessions the city
fathers revoked several Licenses.
Shortly after the council rescinded its
action and the saloons were reopened
Day was soon arrested on war
rant charging him with serious
offense, and although at the time il
was thought the action was taken in {
spirit of revenge, evidence was pre-
sented and the man was bound over tC
appear before the superior court. FL
has been out on bonds.

MUST PAY THE TAX
WALLA WALLA ASSESSORS FIND
VULNERABLE POINT.
Travelling Statesmen for Non Resident
Firms Do Not Escape Liability
to BE Taxed.

A Walla Walla special says Deputy
County Assessor William Case has
nabbed one of the men who has been
peddling buggies in Walla Walla
county, and Assessor Bergman forced
the foreign salesman to dig up $25. so
in payment of taxes on the vehicles be
had in bis possession.
This is one of the men who have
been making their headquarters in
Freewater and going over to Walla
Walla county selling buggies to farm
ers in competition with local dealers.
Since the supreme court decided
that the peddling law was unconsti-
tutional, representatives of eastern
buggy factories have been doing big
business i'll Walla Walla county,
much to the detriment of Walla Walla
implement and vehicle dealers, and
the latter are naturally very much
elated over the fact that one of tho
bunch has been compelled 60 pay
taxes.
A close watch will be kept by the
deputy assessors in other portions of
the county and an effort made to tax
every vehicle that can be found in
the possession of the travelling agents.

DIPHTHERIA NOT CATCHING.
Chickens Disease is Not TransmissabIe
to Human Beings.

Chickens Disease Is Not Transmits sa bl o
to Human Beings.
DR.. Ralph G. Matson, bacteriologist
of the state board of health, has de-
cided that chickens may contract
diphtheria aud die of the disease, but
it is not the sort of diphtheria that
people have. He arrived at this de-
cision after making a thorough ex-
animation of a dozen or more chicken
heads from fowls which recently died
in Scio, Oregon, under peculiar cir
cumstances. He decided that chicken
diphtheria was not transmi issa BILE to
human beings.
Mrs. McClain and her daughter
died at Soio of some throat affection
and simultaneously more than 20
large fat fowls belonging to the fami-
ly contracted sore throat and died
within a few hours. The coincidence
created quite stir and it was feared
that the disease,if common to man and
chickens, would become widespread.
The state board of health, togeth or
with the local health authorities, is
taking active measures in regard to
the smallpox cases in Lebanon, Linn
county. Already two localities have
been infected from cases arising in
Lebanon, aud it is the belief of the
board that proper quarantine measures
have not been enforced by the local
authorities. Two cases are reported
from foster, 20 miles east of Lebanon,
besides several cases occurring near
Portland. The disease was originally
taken to Lebanon by young man
who exposed great many people
while singing in one of the leading
church choirs there. A member of
the preachers family is said to be
one of the first to contract the disease
from the singer.
On account of the presence of
smallpox in logging camps at Gray's
river and Deep river, Washington,
local health officers along the Colum-
bia river have been notifiedto keep
sharp lookout for the disease aud
promptly vaccinate aud quarantine
all exposed. One of the cases at
Gray's river exposed a family of five
at North Yamhill, but these have
been quarantined aud yaccinated by
the county health officer of Yamhill
county. The state board has been
working actively in connection with
the various county and city health
officers and it is believed that all
foci of infection will be rapidly
stamped out.

NOT so BAD AS PAINTED.
Crops In PendIeton Section are Turning
Out Well.

Investigation of the condition of
growing grain in vaious parts of Una
tilla county shows the damage sus-
tanned in the March cold spell was
slight Instead of many thousand
acres to reseed, as at first reported,
not more than 200 acres in the en- tire
county have been reseeded. Many
farmers secured seed wheat and Wit
riol, in many instances aying fancy
prices for bluestem, which was scarce,
only to find that their grain was not
injured or only slightly. The only
section where there was any loss was
the northwestern part, where the soil
is light and there was comparatively
no snowfall. The scare was due to
the fact that the tops of the grain in
some places was frozen, but this is
considered benefit instead of an in
jury by many, as they say it has
caused the grain to stool out more
than otherwise. The fruit is also
coming out nicely and the damage
will not be nearly so great as was
feared. The peaches suffered most.
but there will be partial crop of
all other varieties Of fruit

PORTAGE ROAD BEHIND.

Make More Trips.

Make More Trips.
The La Grande Observer gives the
following account of an experiment in
Washington gulch:
Following the system of dry farm
ing introduced in Oregon by the late
R. g. Judson, industrial agent of the
o. r. & N, and known as the Camp
bell system, George f. Wright, the
Washington gulch rancher, a year
ago this spring sowed a field of alfalfa
with the dry seed which Mr.. Judson
imported from Germany and cult
vated it under the dry system.
Mr.. Wright reports now that this
alfalfa is growing aud is higher and
healthier than the other alfalfa which
he is raising by irrigation. He is a
firm believer in the dry farming
system as applied to bench lands and
looks for splendid results not only in
his immediate neighborhood, on his
own ranch, but all through the coun-
try where others have tried the ex-
pertinent.
The fact that this seed sprouted and
grew luxuriantly through all the dry,
wet, cold and snow of the past eight
months, fully demonstrates what can
be accomplished by scientific meth
ods M. s. Bond and other farmers
east of Baker City are also working in
these lines and are obtaining good re-
suits. The Wright alfalfa expert
ment is believed to be the first sue
cessful effort made in this county.

PORTLAND HORSE MARKET.
Effort Will Be Made to Establish Market
for Sale of BIooded Stock.


Anent the locating of packing
plant, with its accessory livestock
yards, another effort is to be made to
establish a horse market in Portland,
says the Journal. The venture this
time will be under the name of the
Portland Horse Sale company, of
which M. ID. Wisdom is president,
and g. A. Westgate manager. 1t will
open with an auction sale of finely
bred horses, which will take place at
Irvington Park May 2, 3 and 4. The
entry list closes April 10. The num-
Der of consignments already received
presages long string of horses for the
auctioneer's block.
Commenting upon the matter Mr..
Wisdom said:
Several attempts have been made
to establish horse market in Port
land, and with little satisfactory re-
suits. This time we take the initia-
tive, and were led to do so because of
the location of stock yard on the
east side. We feel that the yards will
bring many horsemen to Portland,
aud that their interest in market,
coupled with kindred feeling on the
part of local men and women, will
make the venture this time success.
"We do not intend to make these
auction sales a regular business. We
will make the start, which we hope
will be sufficient inducement for
someone else to take the matter where
we left off. We have secured an
auctioneer from Chicago.
''For some time there has been a
feeling that horse market would pay
in Portland, if properly handled. At
the present time there is no place to
buy or sell"
A feature of the initial sale will be
the disposal of @. X. Larrabee's cele-
brated Brook Nook ranch horse, which
took many prizes at the Lewis and
Clark fair. DR.. A. E. Pierce consigns
five horses-Salem Maid, the Del
Norte tllly with half mile record of
1908 and mile clip of 2:21 with
three months training; Maid Marion;
the Zombre filly, and three other pros
poets.
From N. K. Vests Commonwealth
farm at La Grande will come con-
signment of drivers and speed pros
poets. Aug. Erickson of the Fruit
dale stock farm, Clackamas county,
consigns several fillies with enviable
track record. R. G. Kiger of Cor
Wallis will send some high class
drivers, and E. B. Tongue choice
list, including Lovelaee $3.50.

AT O'Clock Wednesday evening
the time for filing nominating petit
tions expired and the list of democrat
ic and republican Office seekers is now
complete. No one filed notice of his
can ndidacy for the democratic nomina-
tion for the office of county clerk and
it looks like Frank Sailing, the present
incumbent, was to be the unanimous
choice of the county. This is the only
office for which there is no demo-
cratic aspirant and together with that
of commissioner and surveyor is the
only one for which there arc not
more than one republican aspirant.

HIGH PRICES STOP BUILDING.
Common Rough Lumber Increases -Four
Dollars Per Thousand.

Common Rough Lumber Increases -Four
Dollars Per Thousand.
Lumber prices have gone skyward
i'll the past week throughout the Pa
louse country and building operations
are being curtailed in consequence.
The price of common rough lumber
has advanced $4 per 1000 feet, while
the better grades of lumber have ad-
vanced from 25 to 35 per cent. Com
mon lumber, which retailed at from
I'll to SIS per 1000 feet is now cell
ing at from $15 to $l7. The highest
grades of finishing lumber has jumped
from $35 to $53 per 1000 feet and
there is proportionate advance in
all grades.
AS result, many who planned to
erect buildings this year are abandon
ing the plans and contractors predict
that building operations will be re-
duced from 35 to so per cent this sea
sou. Several Colfax citizens who had
plans drawn for building have aban-
doned the idea and will wait until
next year, or later, in hopes that the
price will be lower. The lumber
trade of that section is completely
controlled by the Potlatch Lumber
company, which has mills at Colfax,
Palouse and Potlatch, Idaho, and is a
branch of the Weyerhauser syndicate,
which is also said to control the mills
at Bridal Veil, Oregon, from which a
portion of the supply for this country
has been secured for several years.
The rise in the price of lumber is re-
garded as serious handicap to build
