That our American forests abound in plants which possess the most valuable medicinal virtues is abundantly attested by scores of the most eminent medical writers and teachers. Even the untu tored Indians had discovered the useful ness of many native plants before the advent of the white race. This infOrma- tion, imparted freely to the whites, led the latter to continue investigations until to-day we have rich assortment of most valuable American medicinal roots.

For several days past the Warren
Construction company has been en-
gagged in shipping its paving plant
away from this city. The machinery
is being sent to Eugene for use there
this summer.
But while the paving plant is be-
ing shipped away the Warren people
have not given up hops of more
paving here this summer. Accord

will send another plant here should

EXPERIMENT FARM
PROPOSED TO SET APART 40
ACRES GOVERNMENT LANDS
Project Is Now Up to the Federal
Department of Agriculture, to Use
Land Under the Umatilla Project
as an Experimental Farm-Her-
miston District Has Some Peculiar
Claims to Such an Important Dis
tinction.

To have 40 acres of land under the
east Umatilla project set aside for
an experiment station is the object
of a. movement that is now on, and
which the promoters hope will prove
successful. The matter is now before
the department of agriculture and 1t
will soon be known whether or not the
request for the station will be grant
ed.
There has long been a sentiment in
favor of an experiment station in the
irrigated sections of this county and
at the instance of Hermiston people
Senator C. j. Smith has been busy
in the matter for some time. At his
request Senator Bourne recently took
the matter up with the department of
agriculture and a reply is now being
awaited. Also, DIR. James Witty
combe, director of the oregon expert
ment station at Corvallis, Governor
Chamberlain and the other members
of the oregon congressional delegation
have been enlisted in the movement.
There is great need of an ex'
perimental station under the east
Umatilla project, for the reason that
there is probably no other irrigated
section in the country with the same
altitude and climatic conditions,
said DR.. Smith in speaking upon the
subject this morning. "The klamath
project is much higher, the Twin Falls
country is much higher. and at all o.
the projects in the southwest the alti'
tude is greater than at Hermiston
Then, in the sections where the ele
vation is nearly the same, the winds
soil and other features differ to sucl
an extent that the experience of farm
ers in those places will not apply Il
land under the east Umatilla project
It would be especially valuable t
have a good experiment station neal
Hermiston during the time the fra
few years the land is cultivated, fol
otherwise the settlers will have Il
guess at the best methods to pursue.

Although he is considered a hard
ened criminal and is generally be-
lieved to be guilty of the murder of
Frank Steunenberg, Harry Orchard
yet found a place in his heart for
a love romance, and this was his un-
doing.
The following story of his capture
through the information given by his
sweetheart is sent out from Boise by
the Scripps News association. The
dispatch says:
One of the principal witnesses for
the prosecution in the trial of w. d.
Haywood will be Miss Lizzie Velberg,
waitress at the Saratoga hotel at
Caldwell, to whom Harry Orchard
had been making love while plan
ming the assassination of Steunenberg
and whose affections had been won.
Orchard took rifle to Caldwell.
Almost daily he took the rifle and ac-
conpanied by the waitress went out
for practice, as he said. In this way,
especially on account OF being ac-
companied by the girl, he evaded
suspicion on account of carrying a
rifle so often. The girl herself says
that she had no suspicion that Or
chard contemplated crime.
The plan to shoot Steunenberg
through a window was finally aban-
doned because Orchard feared he
might kill the wife or some other
member OF the family, according to
the prosecutions evidence.
| Orchard is said always to have
conducted himself as a gentleman to-
ward Miss Vilberg. He was unusual
days before the murder he grew
gloomy and morose and said to his
sweetheart:
"You think me a good fellow, but
] am not Some time you may learn
what a william and scoundrel I really
am and despise me for all time"
The girl thought his despondent
manner and sad words due to an at
tack Of melancholia and laughed and
teased him. When she heard OF
Steunenberg's murder the words OF
her sweetheart came to her mind and
an icy chill struck her heart.
Half an hour after the murder Or
chard came into the dining room al
the hotel for his supper. He was
pale and trembling and kept hi:
eyes on his plate. The girl was sc
nervous and agitated she was unable
to speak. Not a word was said by
Orchard except in ordering dishes
He ate little and quickly left the
dinning room.
The girl went to her room early
and getting down on her knees, beg
ged God to point out the proper
course for her to pursue. She spen
almost the whole night praying. Sh'
slept not a wink and by daylight wa
almost exhausted physically by he
fearful mental struggle.
But she made her decision. witt
breaking heart she went to JOSEPH
Hutchinson, former lieutenant cover
nor, and Andy Johnson, a Boise de
tective, and told them she believe
J the man she loved was the murdere
! of Steunenberg, and advised them t
search his room.
A key was procured from the Jap
anese chambermaid and the room
searched. Bombs, powder, fuse an
other discriminating evidence wa
!, discovered and Orchard was at ono
placed under arrest.

MILTON PEACHES GOOD.
Favorable Estimate by Walla Walla
Man.


Charles Worth, q real estate deal
er OF this city. returning today from
a trip to Milton and other points In
that section said that the peach crop
this year will be 30 per cent better
than last year. when a good crop
was gathered. says the Walla Walla
Bulletin. The frost that was thought
at first to have done so much dam
age, In reality has done but little, and
the orchardmen are very enthusiastic
over the crop, which will be enor-
nous unless there is some unforeseen
setback.

engaged in the business of raising
this fruit say that they will get big
returns from their patches. Every

none of the orchards will be failures,
The scare at the time of the frost
proves to he unfounded by the actual
showing.
II found that all the fruitgrowers
feel that the frost was good thing
in more ways than one. The prin-
cipal benefit seems to have been the
