BIG COUGAR KILLED
BY QUlNIAULT DIANA

HOQUIAM, Oct. 1.-THE story Of a
woman at Netarts, Ore, having killed
bear, is equalled, if not exceeded,
by Mrs. Anton Kistner, who resides
at Quiniault Lake. Two weeks ago
Mr. Kistner, having business in Ho-
quiam left his wife and young family
alone at their lake home.
One morning Mrs. Kistner heard the
dogs barking and soon found that they
had something freed. She went to the
house, getting rifle, and proceeded to
the tree, where the dogs were, wnen
she espied a huge cougar or mountain
lion upon a limb, furiously flashing his
tail.
Nothing daunted, the intrepid lady
took a fine bead and fired, bringing
the animal tumbling to the ground,
where she soon dispatched it with an
other shot. After performing the feat
of killing an animal which was the
terror of the neighborhood, she pro-
ceeded to rid the beast of it's hide,
which measured feet inches from
tip to tip. The hide will be tanned
and made into a rug, which it is hoped
will long grace the home of this cour-
ageous Diana.

Pullman Wants Game and May Be
Favored-Feud Is an Old One.
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Ovt. lit is a possibility this season,
and a surety next, as far as the state
university is concerned, that athletic
relations will be reestablished with the
state college at Pullman. The breach
between the two institutions has been
gradually growing broader and broad
err. until it looked as though it would
take a long time to overcome the
prejudice incurred.
Pullman has asked for game this
season. This can hardly be granted,
as the schedule is already full and
quite heavy, but if possible Manager
Slattery will try to arrange for a
game.
Some of the alumni who were asked
for opinions were very bitter against
arranging a game with Pullman. Man.
ager Slattery is strongly in favor Of
meeting another year on the football
field, and probably in track athletics.

ENDOWMENT FOR
ALBANY COLLEGE

A campaign to raise a permanent
endowment fund for Albany college at
Albany, Ore, has been instituted in
that city. 1t is hoped to raise at least
$4,000, and work on the nucleus has
been begun. If Albany raises at least
$4,000, an equal amount is said to be
assured from other parts of the state,
and this is expected to mean $4,000
from eastern members of the Presby-
terrain church, which is the sponsor of
the school.
A campaign, characterized by vim
and energy, was begun Saturday, and
about $4,000 was subscribed. Seven
hundred dollars of this amount was
the donation Of faculty and students.

BIDS AGAIN REJECTED.
sut Irrigation Work May Be Com
meneed Soon.

For the second time the interior de-
partment has rejected bids submitted
for performing work on the govern
ment irrigation project in Umatilla
county. says the Pendleton East Ore
gonian.
Bids for the construction of the dis
tributing canals of the East Umatilla
irrigation project were opened in the
office Of D. c. Henry at Portland, but
none of them was accepted by the de-
partment. Some time ago the bids for
the reservoir were also rejected.
1t is understood, however, that the
engineers in charge of the reclaim
alton service in Oregon recommended
a bidder to Chief Engineer Newell,
who will soon name the successful
bidder, when work on the canals will
be started
The contract for the construction of
the main feed canal has been awarded
and the work is now in progress on
that part of the project
The canals to be dug are practically
all through dirt with but little rock.
The bids were asked on two sections,
indicated in the specifications as
schedule 1 and schedule 2. The first
includes little. more than half the
distributing canals and involves the
removal of a total of 100000 cubic
yards. Schedule includes the NOV
ing Of 10000 yards

SIXTY THOUSAND EMPLOYEES
Big Army of WOrEmen Is Employed
BY the Krupp Works
in Germany

According to Consul General
Guenther the celebrated works of
Krupp at Essen, Magdeburg, Kiel,
mines had, on April /, in their en-
Amen, and at their ore and coal
ploy %, 553 persons, OF whom 5,065
were officials and clerks, against a
total of 55,S1.. employees in the year
before The company's principal
plant and accessories at Essen CON
sumed as much water in said year
as did the entire city of Dresden,
which latter has a population of over
100000 inhabitants. The gas made
and consumed by the single cast
steel plant at Essen exceeds the gas
consumption of the city of Elberfeld.
Besides this, the electric plant OF
said cast-steel works supplies 1,651
arc lamps, 1904 incandescent
lamps, and 1853 electric motors. The
average daily wage paid in 1905 to
the workers in the cast-steel plant
was $1.22 per person, which is
about 3 p cents more than was paid
in the preceding year.

that if he were doing anything
contrary to the law, it was be-
cause his consumers wanted the
goods prepared that way and
wouldn't be satisfied with anything
else. While all the reasons might
well cause a smile, there is still
something of truth in the last.
1t is well-knOwn, for instance, that
practically all mustard is adulter-
ated with farina or some kindred
substance, in spite of the fact that
it is believed to be pure. The public
would not eat pure mustard since
the flavor would prove sickening
Likewise, Washington, for example,
looks with suspicion on all butter
that is not what is known as red in
color, while other cities demand 9TH
er tests as the acme of excellence.
But while good many people are
apt to be shocked when they have a
chance to see just what it is they
have been eating or drinking, it is
not probable that any producer who
does not deserve to be will be put
out of business by the new law. The
people must eat, and somebody must
prepare the food stuffs

THE PEOPLE WILL GASP WHEN
THEY FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS

Just how loudly the country will
gasp in surprise over what it has
been eating when the pure food law
really gets to working and the whole
truth becomes known, remains to be
seen. The hearings of various man
ufacturers before DR.. Wiley and his
commission have shown that reve-
lations may certainly be expected.
Indeed, the manufacturers of food
products doesn't seem to care for
the new law at all. The plea of
each one before Dr.. Wiley to the
effect that he has not in the past
conducted his business along lines
which will violate the new law Eek
cept in so far as consumers have de-
manded) although all his competitors
probably have, smacks of the plea Of
the school-boy who hadn't done
nothin', and anyhow Tommy Jones
made him.
According to Dr. Wiley, all manu-
facturers who have appeared before
him have had three general argu-
ments to advance against the appli-
cation of the law in their case, each
in itself an admission that the other
two were more or less worthless.
First, according to each one, the
law did not apply to his particular
product; and, second, anyhow if it
did apply and were enforced he
would have to go out Of bust
ness; third, each one asserted

WOMAN MINT GROWER.
Miss Clark of Indiana Is a Very
Busy Person.

The indianapolis (Ind.) Star says
Miss May Clark of that state is the
only woman in the world to make a
success in growing peppermint for
the market, a business heretofore
controlled exclusively by men. She
has improved upon the methods en-
ployed by the veteran mint growers
in several instances, and her eighty
acre farm is one of the best mint
producers in the world.
The harvest of the mint crop,
which is grown exclusively in the
United States in Southern Michigan,
Northern Indiana and in a single
county in New York, is now on in
that locality
With most growers the harvest
comes in September but having as
certained that with falling mercury
the mint principle starts for the
roots of the plant, Miss Clark har-
vests her mint in time to catch all
the methor there is in the plant, Sc
lecting the hottest spell of weather
she can pick out. The result is that
she produces a higher grade of crop
and more of it to the acre than her
neighbOrs.
Miss Clark has herself cut and
raked twenty acres of hay, MIXED
ten COWS night and morning, besides
looking after her pOrkers, chickens
and horses She lives with her wild
owed mother, there being no men
folks on the farm except in the sum-
mer season, when she employs help
to take care of the peppermint.

PULLED RATTLER'S FANGS
A Calhoun County Man Does the
Dental Act on Big
Snake.

Many curious eyes were attracted
by small white pine box with strips
tackled across the top, which was
brought to town Monday morning
The box referred to was brought
in by Mr.. r. E. Mcdaniel, of the
Morgan district, and contained a
very large rattle snake, which he had
captured some three weeks ago. Mr..
Mcdaniel first brought the box to our
office to give the editor a peep at
his captive, but as we are not very
fond of pets-that kind of pets es-
pecially-his snakeship did not eX-
actly meet any favor by us.
The snake was very lage one,
measuring over four feet, and carried
nine rattles.
The manner in which Mr.. Nc
Daniel caught the reptile and ex-
tracted his fangs is unique. He took
a piece of strong cord and lassoed
the snake, and then raised him from
the ground sufficient heighth that
he could not touch it, then pressed his
gill and the fangs projected, and
with a pair of pinchers the fangs
were removed. After being thus OPP
Grated upon the snake is said to be
absolutely harmless-but he did not
look that way.-Edison News.

Buffalo, \. Y. July 31.-Today's
session of the Am: rican Federation
of Catholic Societies continued from
an early hour of the morning until
nearly midnight tonight and during
that time three momentuous subjects
were thoroughly discussed-divorce
immigration and socialism There
were many speakers and the matter
will be thoroughly threshed out be-
fore the federation finally adjourns Up
to the present time no formal resolu-
tions bearing on these matters have
been adopted but it is a certainty
that before the delegates finally dis
perse they will place themselves
strongly on record as favoring the en-
forcment of all of the existing church
laws that bear on these subjects.
There is general undercurrent of
feeling among the delegates that
there has been too much laxity in en-
forcing church laws and it is hoped
that before this federation adjourns
it will have taken such action as will
result in all church officials insisting
that communicates live up to all of
the tenets of the faith.
