Courage in Daily Life.

Bravery helps to make a nation
safe. A nation of towards, however
prosperous, cannot be great nation.
Men and women who dare fling them
selves against great odds for the sake
of their convictions; who do not
shrink from crying out against any
evil that may menace the purity of
the government; who will, If need be,
sever all political, social and financial
ties for love Of country-these are the
heroes to which nation resorts in
her hour Of need.

HOUSE IN TABOR
IS BURNED
Three Children Narrowly Escap'
ed being Burned to
Death.

The house in Tabor occupied by
the family of George Botko was dis
troyed by fire on Monday forenoon
last week. Mrs. Botko had gone
with her husband to assist him in
getting home load of hay, leaving
her two little children, aged three
and five years respectively at home,
in charge of a neighbours, Mr..
Travneck's, girl, who is about ten
years old. Mrs. Botko had fixed
the fire before she left and showed
the children how to put more wood
into the stove in case it should get
cold in the house. AS the parents
were returning with the load of hay
when about quarter of a mile off
they discovered to their conformation
that their home was on fire. Leav-
ing the load where it was, Mr..
Botko ran as fast as he could to the
house which was then burning frce-
ly on the outside and knocking out a
window rushed in and got out the
children who were then almost over

died from suffocation in few
minutes more.
While the parents we're gone the
older girl had put stick of wood in
the stove, but finding it too long
she took it out again after it hand
started to burn. She threw the
burning stick outside the house and
had thrown water on it to put out
the fire. Evidently the fire had not
all been extinguished, as the fax
straw with which the house was
banked had cought fire unknown
to the children and had spread rapid.

A PIONEER GONE.

Died at his home in Argyle on
Sunday morning. Knud ?. Myhre,
aged II years.
Deceased was born at Sigdal,
Norway, June 6, 1886. He came to
America in 1859. and lived for some
years at New Richmond and
Hudson. Wisconsin. In June 1880 he
removed with his family to Marshall
county, Minnesota, settling on a
farm in town of Middle River. where
he has resided ever since, until about
tive years ago. when he went to live
in Argyle. His wife departed this
life a year and half ago.
He was man of excellent habits,
fine moral character. generous.
impulses and never forgot the hospit-
able ways of the pioneer. He had
borne adversely bravely and enjoyed
prosperity quietly. The various re-
lations of life, as husband, father
and friend. he had we'll filled. Who
can do more? Now he is gone.
Another name is stricken from the
ever lessening roll Of our old settlers
And though he will be sadly miss

shall county, and his family and by
many other relatives and friends. his
life work was done and we'll done and
weary of suffering and waiting he lay
down to rest. -.
Though his health has not been
strong Of late years, his death came
rather unexpected. He had to take
to his bed Saturday on account of
pneumonia. The son was informed
OF his illness but as those who at
tended him did not think it serious,
ne did not go to Argyle SATURDAY..
During Saturday night his condition
became worse and on Sunday morn
ing the aged pioneer breathed his
last. HIRE
The funeral was held on Tuesday
afternoon from the Norwegian Luth-

In our hurry incident to Chisrtmas
we forgot last week to mention the
Great Majestic Range demonstration
at the store of K. J. Taralseth Co. 8,
and the wonderful cake walk. We
have seen the cake walks for which
Dixie land is famous. we have seen
cement walks, board walks, lovers
walks and many other kinds Of
walks, but never before had we seen
such walk as the one in Taralseth s
store one afternoon last week. Just
think Of it, twenty-four OF the most
plump and well rounded matrous OF
the city walked on a sponge cake
In short the procedure was this: A
monster sponge cake, in the making
of which IS eggs had been used, was
placed on the floor. On top of the
cake were placed two long planks,
and then The "a heavyweight beau.
ties stepped on the planks, squeezing
the poor cake as thin as a leaf.
Then they stepped down, and i'm
medlately the cake resumed its
original shape, just as if made oil
rubber. Being baked in the air.
tight oven of the Majestic Range
was what gave to the cake the
quality that would not let it stay
downed. Neither can the Majestic
stoves be downed.

A law should be enacted which

tries to keep his farm clean has no
ghost of show when the seeds are
blown In on his land from his
neighbors threshing outfit, with the
blower spout high in the air.
Third cause: The hurtful methods
by which some land companies deal
with new settlers. Settlers come in
the spring. The land looks good to
them. They start to work it with
enthusiasm, and the prospect of just
putting the ..plow in the ground,
seeding and then reaping big crop,
is glittering to them, especially
when they have been told to by land
agents that 20 to so bushels of wheat
to the acre is common, and that The
old settlers are merely working a
little in the summer and spend the
winter in town drinking and
gambling, and know nothing about
farming anyhow. The settlers
enthusiasm is SO wrought up that
they do not put in the work they
should, as they would have done if
they had been told the truth at the
start. When fall comes and their
hopes are shattered their love for the
country changes to hate. and their
enthusiasm to melancholy broodings,
and if there is a way they will go
home to where they came from, and
spread tales of deception and
shattered hopes to neighbors and
friends. 1t does not help matters
when in the spring they are induced
to buy all the land they can get. the
land men representing that they can
easily pay for it all in the fall. So
they pay out their last dollar as first
payment on a section Of land when
they would have been we'll supplied
with 80 or 100 acres. Another cause
that tends to destroy the confidence
Of the new settler is that they get
land without a furrow plowed and
full of weeds. so that when they SOW
wheat and expect to harvest a crop
of wheat, they get foul weeds in
stead.
Advice to the land companies:
Never sell an acre OF land unless the
land is plowed and reasonably free
from weeds, and put all the land
that you intend to sell in prime
condition for a good crop the first
year. l think the profits on the
deal will we'll repay you. If the
land companies do not do this. a
law should certainly be enacted to
stop this wholesale misstating of
facts to prospective settlers.

PIONEER WOMAN
NAMED MT. EMILY.
BLUE MOUNTAIN PEAK
HONORS EMILY LEASY
Well Known Mountain on West Side
of Grand Ronde Valley, Given the
Name of First White Woman to
Live i'm Its Shadows-Emily Leasy,
Formerly Emily MOOrhouse, Settled
I'm Grand ROnde i'm Fall of 1861.

While in Grand Ronde valley Sun
day Major Lee Moorhouse of this city
learned for the first time that Mt.
Emily, the sentinel peak of the west
side of that valley, and one of the
most prominent mountain peaks in
the Blue mountain range, was named
for Emily Leasy who was once Emily
Moorhouse, an aunt of Major Moor
house.
In 1861 the Moorhouse party, con-
sisting of a number of families, cross
ed the plains to Oregon from Iowa.
Upon reaching the Grand Ronde val
ley late in the fall of that year, the
party was told by several persons
whom it met, that it would be inn
at that time of the year.
Provisions were scarce with the
party. snow had already fallen and
forage was largely covered on the
mountains and H. w. Leasy and fam
lily decided to locate in Grand Ronde
rather than try the mountains. Next
spring Mr.. Leasy took up one of the
first claims located in that valley,
near what is now Proebstel bridge, on
the Grand Ronde river, The remain
der of the party, including Major
Moorhouse's parents and family, came
on to Umatilla and located where
Major Moorhouse has lived continu-
ously, since.
AS Emily Leasy nee Emily Moor
house, was one of the very first, if not
the first white woman to settle in the
shadows of the high peak on the west
side of the valley. the early pioneers
named it Mt. Emily in honor of that
pioneer woman. 1t has been known
by no other name and is charted as
Mt. Emily on all the maps of Oregon,
a Mormon settlement at its
foot is now called mt. Glenn" a very
recent and unfounded designation.

DR.. w. H. Lytle, state sheep in
spector, returned last night from
Morrow county where he was called
by the very seerious condition of a
number of herds of sheep in that
county. He found that the herds
were suffering from the dry feed
and that nearly every owner in Nor
ROW county had suffered more or less
from the trouble.
He recommends as a general rem
edy, more succulent pasturage, green
feed, alfalfa pasturage or more juicy
feed of any nature and also urges
sheepmen to permit their sucking
lambs to run with their mothers for
several weeks yet, before being
weaned. This, in a general way, will
tend to reduce the disease and rem
der 1t less fatal.
As a specific remedy for Individual
sheep suffering from the disease he
directs that they be treated as fol-
lows. Raw linseed oil, six ounces;
aloes, one half ounce, to be given at
a dose to each sheep.
The fatal aspect of the disease is
that the extremely dry feed causes
an impa ~ on in the stomach and this
remedy will cure where it is given
early.
The ranges in forest reserves have
been very dry during the past sum-
mer and theh lack of rain has kept
the foothill pasturage dry, so the
herds have had nothing but dry feed
all summer and fall and the con-
dition is becoming serious.
The specific name of the disease
is vete, or grass staggers and it is
caused by an imraction of the third
stomach.

Portland, Oct 2S.-Backed by a
picked force Of deputies, Sheriff
Stevens is beating up the Cornell
road today in an effort to capture
the lone highwayman, who shot and
painfully wounded Miss Susie
Thompson last evening, while she was
returning to Portland from her home
lat Cedar Mills.
This is the third hold-up that has
occurred in the vicinity Of Portland
within the last ten days. In every
case, shooting has occurred. One
death and two serious injuries are
the results.
Miss Thompson had spent the day
with her parents and taking buggy,
was driving back to the city when at
a dark point in the road a man sud-
denly jumped out of the brushwood
and ordered her to halt and throw
up her hands.
The horse became frightened and
plunged forward and the highway
man fired. The bullet struck the girl.
