Adams.

Advance: Mr.. and Mrs. o. l..
Baker left Sunday evening for Port
land, where they expect to make their
home. He contemplates entering the
street Car service.
Mrs. J. f. Adams, of Walla Walla,
visited friends in this vicinity, and
while here sold lot in block 10 to A.
W. Lemery for $25. 1t is unimproved
and lays off Main street.
Marion Jack, the big farmer from
Havana station, was in the city
Wednesday evening. He says that the
ground now has more water in it than
at any time within his recollection.
E. II. Swisher sold his house aud
three lots on the corner of Wade and
Marion streets, known as the Warren
property, to A. J. Baker this week
The consideration was $500.
The 0. r. & N. company have the
lumber on the ground now ready for
the extension of the depot. They will
soon have the men at work, and while
the crew is here, the section house will
be moved from Eastland to this point,
and other improvements made.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. r. Embrie, of
Hermiston, visited Friday at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. D. Eaton in
this city. They were formerly resi-
dents of Hillsboro, but came to this
county on account of the chance to
secure irrigated lands. They are
we'll pleased with the prospect.
L. @. Ried sold his chop mill to W.
M. Nash Wednesday for $1,000. Mr.
Ried expects to leave for his Idaho
homestead soon, and he thought that
he would rather sell the mill than
lease it, although he would not have
sold at this figure had he been going
to stay, for he knows it will pay a
good big interest on such price.

MAKER OF THE TRAIL
EZRA MEEKER. PIONEER, ON
A LONG JOURNEY.
Intends to Place Granite Monuments
to Mark Way Taken by Early
Settlers Crossing Plains.

Ezra Meeker, the pioneer who came
TO Oregon in 1862 by way of the old
Oregon trail, told large gathering in
the city hall at Portland why he had
started to retrace the trail in his
prairie schooner drawn by his.team of
oxen and erect granite monuments to
mark the route ty which the pioneers
came to the northwestern territory,
says the Journal.
It was interesting to see the old
pioneer with his snow white head, but
sturdy form, stand before his listeners
and to relate his experience OF early
days and tell of his great desire to
complete the work he has undertaken,
that future generations may know
the trail the pioneers travelled.
In speaking of the discouragements
he has received iu seeking aid in his
task the old mans voice trem bled
and he could scarcely speak for the
sob in his throat. One man told him
that his efforts would amount to moth
ing, another that he did not desire to
see him go out on the plains to die,
whilesa third friend had called him
an old fool and advised him to re-
main at home.
"Do look like man who was 60
ing to die?" he asked II do not
think they should measure man by
bis age. Since I was married in 1856
1 have never been seriously i'll. |
know my powers we'll enough to feel
satisfied that l will be able to per-
form the task have undertaken. :"
An old melodeon which has been in
the Meeker family half century was
played by Miss Sadie Ford, and Miss
Bertha Templeton, a granddaughter of
Ezra Meeker, sang Fifty Years Ago. :"
Another song, entitled ''The Old Set
tier" was sung and the pioneers
present joined heartily in the chorus.
A large number of stereopticon
views of the scenes along the old trail
were shown, as were also many Ore
gon and Washington scenes, and the
portraits of large number of pio-
neers of the northwest. With the
assistance of George Fl. Hines Mr..
Meeker explained each view as it was
thrown uponsthe scene.

All Americans, young or old, ought
to know that February 22nd was
Washington's birthday. And every
school boy knows the story of George
Washington, his hatchet and the
cherry tree. He is one man at least
who has the enviable reputation of hav-
ing never told falsehood. The per-
sonal life and great deeds of this
famous man are we'll known to the
greater majority of American citizens.
But, however, it may be news to some
to learn that the father of his contry
wore artificial teeth. Yes, such was
the case, and they were among the
great commanders most priced earthly
possessions. He realized the import
ance of having satisfactory mastica7
ters no doubt from the standpoint of
health, one of the most important
things pertaining to our residence on
this earth. You may wish to emulate
this great man in this respect, and
have an artificial set Of teeth that you
will also prize highly, after they
are once in your possession. Or you
may wish to conform more to the
now prevailing and up to date ideas
of having decayed or otherwise affect
ed natural teeth filled, crowned, or
otherwise operated on so they can be
permanently retained, thereby being
needed benefit and source of salts
faction. Teeth extracted and filled
by my new original painless method.

joyed his stay, but still retains his

Z. A. Dudley's farm this side of
Athena they ran into a horseman,
Ernest Reynolds, The team stopped
SO quickly that both tongue and neck
yoke were broken and the young men
were thrown out on the ground, but
escaped injury. Young Reynolds rode
after and caught the horses. During
the walk back home leading the
horses, they had leisure to reflect that
there is such thing as starting al
together too early.

Will Purchase New DYNAMO.

Milton Eagle: AT the city council
meeting steps were taken to close the
deal for a new dynamo for the electric
light system, the present generating
force being inadequate to supply the
demand for light. The new dynamo
will be triple stem, up to date ma
chine, and will be capable under prop
er conditions of generating over 200
horse power. The cost, including
freight and installing, will be in the
neighporhood of $4,000.

The following is a clipping
received from Frank Sherwood,
and shows the great difference
in the climate Of that country
and this:
Riverside, Wash, Nov. 10.
While many sections of the
east are experiencing the rigors
of winter Okanogan farmers
are moving hay. Early in
June last w G. Waters located
three or four miles from River
side and sowed a field of mead
ow land to oats. Monday last
he moved the crop, which was
fine and green, making succu-
lent feed for dairy stock. Last
month a crate of freshly picked
Strawberries and green corn
was sold in a neighboring town,
and yet many eastern people
do not know there is a differ
ence between the climate of
Washington and Maine.
