WARM SPRINGS HOT SPRINGS.
Description of Fountains Themselves
and Environment.

The following description of a natu-
raj wcnder is taken from the Madras
Pioneer:
AS there. are many persons in this
vicinity who have heard about tbs
natural hot springs on the Warm
Springs reservation, and yet have only
a vague idea Of them, a brief descrip-
ton may be of interest.
The Warm Springs river flows
through gorge much the same as all
Of the rivers of this section. on the
southwest bank of the river at the
point where the springs are located,
mountainous rimrock stands, and at
the foot Of this the hot water flows
out lr many places in considerable
volume. Some of these springs are
much hotter than others. One of these
is moderately strong with sulphurous
compounds and is as hot as n person
can bear to drink. The bathing pool
is about 16 feet square and is enclos-
ed with solid board wall. The water
within is about three feet deep and
a little hot for comfort on fist con-
tact.
All of the rocks and bottom along
the bed of the outlet of the hot springs
is covered with reddish brown Shiny
deposit. Tho volume of water from
the hot springs is small in proportion
to the flow of water in the Warm
Springs river and does not make the
latter warmer to any appreciable ex-
tent. Some miles above the spot de-
scribed is a cascade over the bedrock
in the river and at this point an inter-
esting hot springs is located. In the
midst of a rock standing above the
surface of the river a boiling hot
spring arises and flows into the river.
The water in this spring is scalding
hot
These warm springs are n delightful
and healthful resort and will doubtless
grow to be of considerable import
ance as such. Accommodations there
are much as nature made them at
present, however.

DRANK BARRELS OF ALCOHOL.
ID. l.. Osborn at SO, Boasts That He
Has Drunk 1878 Quarts.

Although he says he consumed in
his life 12,775 quarts of alcohol, d.
L. Osborn, ID. S. Co." has lived to the
ripe old age of S6, and is shining
example of cure made by the Chris
ttan assembly holding forth at Arling-
ton Park, here, says the Denver Post.
A few months ago this marvel OF
alcoholic consumption was discovered
in Kansas City by the Rev. G. Fred
erick Fink, the director of the assem-,
bly, and high priest of the sect, who
says he cured Osborn by the laying
on of hands"
The 12,775 quarts of alcohol is some
"booze," and in order to get that
much under his belt Elder Osborn
had to start early, which he did, about
the time he was 16 years old. He
drank, according to his story, a pint
a day until four months ago, and he

MORROW COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
Compiled From the Last Issue of the
Heppner Times.

Attorney and Mrs. c. e. Redfield
went to Pendleton Friday last for a
few days visit with Mrs Redfield's
mother.
]. A. Creswell of Pendleton was In
this city the latter part of the week
looking after his Morrow county in
terests.
James Wyland brought in about 80
head of 2-year-old steers from his
Hardman ranch Monday, which he
had sold to Curt Rhea, who will feed
them on his Rhea creek ranch.
B. F. Swaggart has issued a chal-
lange against any other breeder of the
state for $500 or $1,000 a side ot race
a 2-year-old colt from his East Ore
gon stock farm, near Heppner, the
race to be called during the state fair
next year, 1907.
w. B, Potter of Spray, returned
Saturday from business trip to Pen
dleton and the government irrigation
works at Hermiston, where he had
been studying irrigation. He has a
system of his own on the John Day
river that he had some trouble with
during freshet, and he wants to en-
ploy some competent engineer to as
sist him in the reconstruction of his
system.
Experimenting With Wheat
Millard French brought in a couple
of stools of dry land wheat from the
French Bros ranch on Hinton creek
Monday, which he will send to the
jamestown exposition for exhibit next
year.
\ One variety of the wheat was what
he called White Russian, which Mr..
French says was his best yielder. In
one field he harvested 40 bushels
per acre of this wheat this season, and
last year he says the yield was go
bushels per acre, but it was hand
planted and dry farmed." The stool
that he brought in Monday of this va
riety contained 220 stalks with we'll
filled heads with an average of five
berries to the mesh.
Forty bushels is a good crop any
year. but a season like this it is the
exception and certainly places this
variety long way in the lead in point
of yield.
The other variety that Mr.. French
will place on exhibit at the James
town fair is a hybrid. and although
he has not tested 1t thoroughly, Mr..
French thinks 1t is almost as large a
yielder as the White Russian. 1t was
grown in the same manner and has
the same number of grains TO the
mesh although the beads do not ap-
pear as large and fluffy as the Rus,
sian, but It does not shatter as easily.
The French Bros. run a kind OF
experiment station of their own on
their Hinton creek ranch and are get
ting some very satisfactory results
from different kinds of grain, potatoes
and vegetables with their scientific
farming.
The samples he brought in Monday
are certainly a good illustration OF
what can be done by dry land" or
intensive farming.

Demand for Horseflesh.

The tase for horseflesh as a CO.
mestible is growing in Paris. In 1904
$4,000 horses, mules and asses were
slaughtered for food in the city; and
last year this figure was doubled, the
number of animals killed being A.
600. A year and half ago a chip
pophagie" slaughter house was OPEN
ed by the municipal council, and now
the horse butchers are petitioning the
authorities to allow them to extend
the space available-at their own eX-
pense. The town has only to supply

will begin to bear abundantly. The
most promising and from which great
results are expected, is the Elberta
variety, a fruit that has long been q
favorite in the markets of the county.
Vegetables of all kinds can be sue
cessfully and profitably grown on
this island. Next year the entire till
able portion of the island will be
planted in fruit trees. In the mat
ter of irrigation Captain Wrigley has
succeeded in solving the problem to
his entire satisfaction.
The engine which hoists the water
from the Columbia OF a height of Al
feet is of 6-horse power, driving
Cushman centrifugal pump, which
throws a y Inch stream of water
with great force at the rate of $50
gallons per minute. The engine
weighs but 225 pounds and is a prodi-
gy of strength and in the amount Of
work it can accomplish in given
length of time.
Captain Wrigley will have ample
help in the cultivation of the place
! next year. Last season the captain
succeeded in growing on the island
two of the largest melons ever seen
in this section. The combined weight
of these melons was 13S pounds. They
were sent to Seattle where they were
the wonder and admiration of all who
beheld them. There are many islands
in the Columbia river, but few that
are beyond the rich of high water, as
in the case of Wrigley island. -,

FERTILE ISLAND IN COLUMBIA
Wrigley Island of 100 Acres is Under
Cultivation.

, Located some three miles south of
Wallula in the middle of the Colum>

Wallula Gateway.
The island contains in the neigh
borhood of 10 acres, all of which can

tivation. OF the above area IS acres
are now planted to fruit trees, with
melons, onions, cabbage and other
garden truck mterspersed over the
cultivated area, The trees are now

SIX mile TUNNEL

THROUGH SOLID GRANITE.
In Order to Reduce the Grade Over
the Rocky Mountains the Moffat
Road Will Bore Through the Noun
tain at an EleVetion of SS1 Feeet-
VIII Save Il 700-FoOt Climb Over
the Summit.

The construction,of the longest tun-
mel in America, boring six and quar-.
ter miles straight through the noun
tain from Tolland on the Moffat line
to Idlewde on the other side, of the
range, at "A cost of s5,0OO,000, is under
consideration by the management of
;he Moffat road, says the Denver
News.
This gigantic engineering feat will
be undertaken to reduce the climb
which the road makes from Tolland to
the site of the short two-mile tunnel
originally contemplated at the 9700-
foot level. The elevation of Tolland is
1891. The proposed tunnel will enter
the mountain side two and a half
miles beyond Tolland, near La Dora,
at an elevation of an even 5000 feet
thus saving a climb of 700 feet, over
per cent grade. and a distance of
IA miles over the route that the track
would follow through the two-mile
tunnel.
The decision to survey this six-mile
tunnel was reached by the Moffat Of
ficials after they had reached the con-
clusion that the climb above Tolland
intcrposed en- impractical grade which
must be eliminated.
