QUICKSILVER MINING.



An Oecupstfon that ouieAEIy Deems
the WORKERS.
The chief quicksilver mines In Eu-
rope are in the Spanish town Almaden,
which Is an Arabic word, meaning '.the
mine Of quicksilver" These mines
were formerly worked BY the Iberlans
and after them by the ancient Romans.
Between 1645 and 1s4s the Spanish
government employed galley slaves In
them, an occupation that soon ended in
death. The fumes of the mercury pro
duee constant salvation, and the sys-
TEN becomes permeated with the
metal.
At first the victim Is seized with
tremblings and then the teeth drop out;
pains in the bones follow and then
death. The annual yield Of mercury Is
100000 pounds, to produce which
1000 men are engaged In this unhealthy
employment.
After Almaden. 50 far as yield OF
quicksilver Is concerned, comes Idrla.

once worked by criminals. who. owing
to the terrible qualities OF the mineral.
expired after about two years service.
There are now nearly 500 miners en-.
gagged in the work at Idria. They are
induced to enter the mines by high
pay. A pension is allowed when they
are disabled. and provision is made for
their widows and chIldren.-Pearson,s.

REPUBLICANS WIN IN CHICAGO
Fred Busse, Republican, Elected Over
Edward Dunno. Democrat.

The most sensational municipal
campaign Chicago has experienced in
many years closed Tuesday night with
the election OF Fred Busse, the repub.
lican candidate for mayor over Edward
f. Dunno. his democratic rival for re-
election, by a plurality Of Eetween
$4,000 and $4,000. The issues in the
campaign have been largely based on
improvements of the local traction sys-
tenn. Both parties we're agreed that
the present conditions were intolerable
but differed as to the lest method to
be employed in revising them.
The democrats, headed by Dunno,
stood for municipal ownership through
condemnation of the street car proper
ties If result could not be obtained in
any other way.
The republican party favored the
ordinances which were recently passed
by the democratic council over Dunne's
veto. These ordinances provide for
twenty year franchises, the city retain
ing the right to purchase the system
for $50. 900. 900 plus the amount spent
for immediate rehabilitation of the
lines, six months notice being neces-
sary to acquire the property.
The fight for and against these or
dinances by referendum vote has
been exceedingly bitter. They were
carried by majority of about 40, 900
votes.

WALLA WALLA MURDER TRIAL
Bert Mcintyre Alleges Self Defense
In the Case.

Bert Mcintyre was placed on trial
in the superior court at Walla Walla,
Tuesday, charged with the murder CT
b. B. Moorehead at Wallula about
two months ago. Twenty seven names
were drawn before the jury was selec-
ted, only four men objecting to capital
punishment. Mcintyre alleges self
defense as justification. Moorehead
was killed by being struck in the head
with slungshot made from a rock
tied in handkerchief. The testimony
showed that Moorehead and Mcintyre
had trouble before. Some of the state g
evidence is good for the defense. as it
was shown that Moorehead had threat
ened the life of Mcintyre. Practically
no interest is taken in the case, not
over 30 or 40 spectators being present.
After ten minu deliberation the
jury returned verdict of not guilty.
The trial of Ed Sinclair for the kill
ing of Gust Kotsovos was set for yes
terday. This murder also occurred in
Wallula.

FEAR BIG FRAUD SCANDALS
Umatilla Cases May Be Brought Up

during the present week, because it
is believed that the Umatilla land
fraud cases are to be in the list of in

ing constantly in this section for many
months. It is known that if the ru-
mors of "big deals having been
pulled off in recent years are found to
be correct, the prosecutions which
will follow the findings of the grand

financiers in the Inland Empire.

sALTPETER IN CURED MEATS
Commission Will Shut UP Men in
Club Room and Feed Them.

A dispatch from Urban ILL.,, says:
ut is the plan of the com mission to
make the most elaborate tests ever
made in the country to determine The
effect of the saltpeter contents of cur
ed meat upon the health. said Presi-
dent James of the University of Illi-
nois in discussing the work of the ma
tional food commission.
The work." he added, lis under
taken at the solicitation of the packers
themselves. who have long wanted to
know whether or not saltpeser when
consumed in small quantities is injur-
ious.
'eThe Investigation will Ee carried
on at the University of Illinois under
the direct supervision of Professor
Grandley of the University. A squad
of 20 men will be housed at club un-
der the most favorable conditions.
Half of the men will be fed meat cured
in the ordinary way and the others ON
exactly the same diet except that the
meats will not contain any saltpeter.
A doctor will examine the men daily,
and their weight and physical condi-
tion will be carefully noted. Tne in
vestigations will extend over six months
and the results will be accurate in
every particular.
"The men composing the commission
are the most noted in the country.
They will direct the work and their
presence on the commission insures
that the results achieved will be final.
The work is of great importance.
Owing to the immense amount of cur
ed meats consumed in the country it is
imperative that the people know of the
injurious or non-injurious use of salt
peter"
AS soon as the saltpeter investigation
is finished other work in connection
with nutritive problems will be under
taken.

The new vinegar plant established

pany near Walla Walla, last fall. and
the only one of the kind west Of the
Rockies and the second or third in the

The process of fermentation is rad

employed. Round vats 10 feet high
and four feet in diameter are used for
this purpoee, and instead of being left
open for the air to act upon the CON
tents and the fermentation produced by
the ancient process, the vinegar eel is
employed to transform the sweet cider
into vinegar. The principal stock
holders are: J. A. FinNh. A. B. Camp

WANTS THE ROAD
Steps Also Taken to Secure a Good

An important session Of the Free
water Commercial association washe
Saturday evening, at which $125 was
reported subscribed toward the opening
up of Washington street and $25 was
pledged by the club itself to insure the
immediate furtherance of this move
ment.
The opening of the Hudson Bay road
directly into that city was discussed,
and E. 2. Jenson and Frank Holman
offered 20 feet of land so rods Ia length
along the Hudson Bay ditch for 5000
towards the eonsummation of the
scheme.
The need of a modern hotel in Free
water was brought up. and commit
tee was appointed to Immediately take
the matter up and select q suitable
site for such a building. Chas, L.
Swain, Mayor Evans and @. L. Goodwin
were named as committee. A stock
company will likely be incorporated
and the building constructed soon.

good school, thus offering the main
inducement for people to make their
homes here?
Under such men as Jarvis. Reid,
Watts and Marquis, the Athena school
ranked with the best in Eastern Ore
gon. What contrast exists under the
present regime, With absolutely no
discipline; no system or order, is itsany
wonder that the Ieins Of school gov
ernmrnt in Athena have snapped and
lie dormant to the extent that patrons
have taken their children out, and in
some instances are sending them to
country schools? And not because
these children are less amenable to
school rule or discipline than scholars
were in the days of Jarvis, Reid,
Watts or Marquis, can present condi-
tions be attributable, but because it's
a mere matter Of fact that they were
left to shift for themselves, despite the
counseling of members of the board
with the principal that the rules and
regulations of the school be enforced.
The announcement that the educa-
tional fiasco in Athena is to be drawn
to an early close is received with uni
versal qualification. and out of the
dregs of the dismal failure is drained
the impressive, though expensive les
son, that hereafter principals of the
Athena public school are to be worthy
of their hire.
