The region now Malheur, Harney

The traveller across this wonderful
country finds but one scene Of great

the Stems mountains extends across
the California boundary to Boon lake,

PREHISTORICAL PHASES

Q. NJ. Hysken Writes Fascinating Re
view Of Geological Features Of

Big Plateaus OF Central Oregon
Were Once Tropical Seas.

c. M. Hyskell writes a fascinating
article for August Sunset Magazine on
the prehistoric phases Of central Ore
gon of which the following Is an ex-
cerpt:
That the whole interior Oregon
was once the bed Of the Pacific ocean
has been proved beyond question by
the Investigations Of Professor Thom-
as Condor, DR.. Diller and other noted
geologists, says Mr.. Hyskell. That
the region was later a tropical coun-
try, has been equally well established.
Numerous discoveries of the bones Of
these animals, and rocks containing
the perfect imprint Of the plants Of
the tropics, have been made, and 1t
is no longer an occasion for surprise
when we'll dlggers or irrigation ex-
cayators unearth the fossil remains
of a canal or a broad-faced OK.
Within recent years many fossil
beds of beautiful palm leaves have
been found in eastern Oregon. The
Cascade hills, Blue mountains and
owyhee, once islands surrounded by
tropical lakes, were covered with lux
uriant growth, forests and Towering
shrubs, for Knowlton tells us the
magnolia and cinnamon and fig trees
were there, and before the eocene
age had passed there came the syca-
more, the sweet gum tree, the dog
wood and seven species of oak.
Professor Diller, who has made
careful study of the field, says the
large basins were lake beds in the
miocene and eocene ages, and thus
explains why one may find eocent
leaves exposed by a fresh landslide

ELECTRIC LINE FROM

Agitation for Connecting Systems OF
Electric Lines Throughout the In

Extensive System Completed In
This Section.

A movement which is a part Of the
inevitable development Of electric
lines to every part Of the inland en-
pire is now being started in Walla
walla, In the agitation for a line from
that city to Lewiston.
Whatever development is made %
this class of railroad building in the
inland empire will benefit Pendleton
as this city must eventually be in
cluded In any extensive system which
Is completed in the inland empire.
The walla walla Union says:
Word from Lewiston which reach

that E. H. Lbbey. former president
and manager of the lewiston Clark
ston Electric company, will be in this
city next week for the purpose OF
promoting the proposed electric line

To run another water main across
the river for the purpose of increas-
ing the supply for the north side Is
now planned by the water commission,
and when that improvement and ex-
tensions now under way above the
pumping plant are completed, there
should be an abundant supply for the
people who live upon the north hill.
For the past three weeks a crew
Of 90 men has been at work laying
an additional feed pipe above the
water works. The new line will be
1900 feet long and 12-inch terra Gotta
pipe is being used. About 400 feet
of the pipe is now in place and 1t is
believed by william Sutherland,
water superintendent, that the new
feeder will double the present supply
Of water for the pump.
Joy for Northsiders.
AS soon as the work above the
pumping plant Is completed the COM
mission intends laying an eight-inch
main across the river. 1t will cross
at the foot of Vincent street and ex-
tend down the north bank, passing In
front Of the Kees house. 1t will then
be run "solid' to Wilson street and
thence west on that street to Lincoln.
The main will then be tapped at the
various intersections and the laterals
run down the hill.
BY laying the new main as propos-
ed the board will provide the people
on the upper portion Of the hill with
as good IL not better service than
those lower down. While the pres
sure on the hill will not be as strong
the main will be larger, the present
! main by the bridge being but six
inch one.
When the improvements proposed
are completed there should be an am
pie supply OF water for the north Side

will at last be realized.
For the past year various reports
regarding the promotion of this road
have been In wide circulation. Dur
ing the spring and summer months
road gossip pronounced the project
dead one" and for some time It
was even estimated that the big
scheme had fallen through. The lat
est report, however, Is far from dis
couraging, and 1t is hoped that with
in a few days Manager Libby will
make the company's plan definitely
known.
Mr.. Libby, who is said to have just
returned from the east, is one Of the
most influential railroad men in the
west, and his plan to connect the
rich grain district of walla walla and
whitman counties with the great in.
land empire railway system is being
watched with keen interest.
A preliminary survey for the line
, from walla walla to Charleston and

and Special Inspector Thomas b.
Neuhausen of the interior depart
ment. on a weeks trip through Crook
county where they will inspect the
irrigation project being completed by
the Deschutes Irrigation company un-

The tract being reclaimed by this
company consists of about 100000
acres and It is claimed by the COM
pany that much of the land is now
ready for settlers and it is desired
that the state Of Oregon issue or rec
ommend patent for the land so the
company can dispose of It
In order to determine whether there
is sufficient water on the land to
produce. crops as claimed by the ir-
rigation company, Governor Cham
berlain, as a representative Of the
state land board, has taken the other
officials of his party to make per-
sonal inspection of the land under the
tract, the dams, headgates, bitches
canals, and other features Of the pro.
joct.
The land under this project will bs
sold at from $3.50 to $40 per acre
according to quality and location
with an annual rental on the water
supply of 80 cents an acre.
! This land is a part of the 1000,

Chicago Went Out Last Night.
Chicago Aug. 9.-The telegraph
operators employed by the Western
Union in Chicago, went on strike at
midnight last night. The trouble was
precipitated by the Los Angeles strike
which was begun three days ago.
Last night the local executive board
of the Commercial Telegraphers
union met and passed resolutions re-
quiring the men to refuse to work
with the non-union operators employ
ed In Los Angeles. When the men
were notified of this step all operators
employed in the Overland division of
the local office refused to work any
longer with the non-union men on
the other end Of the wire. When this
announcement was made Night Chief
Harry Price ordered all who refused
to work to leave the office. He then
went into other divisions and request
ed the men to go into the Overland
division. In every case he was met
with a refusal, until over 10 men had
been sent home.
The grievance committee Of the
union called on Price and noteified
him that unless every man was rein
stated by midnight every union man
in the office would be called out. This
was refused and promptly at midnight
by a prearrangement whistle wa.
blown and every operator employed In
the main office with the exception Of
six wire and loop chiefs, including
. Night Manager Price and his two as
sistants, left their keys and with c
round of hearty cheers filed out of thu
office. The men employed by thu
company at the various morning
newspapers had been notified of thu
contemplated strike, and they als'
quit work.
The local officials of the unioi
last night stated that the night fore
employed by the company, most o

Our Little Wise Sisters. :"

North. south. east and west one finds
that among country folk strange supersti-
tons and fancies exist about bees.
"Bees'u never do well II there's words
about them" IS a saying which prevails In
Suffolk. and doubtless the idea which UNI
derlies it contributes to peace among village
neiehbors
1.-THE bees are our friends" Is another
common saying, and such an event as a
death In the family has, OF course, to be
teld to the bees, and bit Of crepe Is often
fastened to their hives.
Bees. birds. butterflies and the gentle
four-footed animals have ever been beloved
by human beings. and In the old monastery
gardens they were often harbored as guests
or permanent boarders. Nearly every
Franciscan convent has its bees. which
st. Francis of Assist. the founder OF the
order. used to call his little wise sisters"
says Home Notes.
St. Francis tender name for the bees Is
considered most appropriate by many high
ly educated but superstitious ladies Of to-
day. The writer was once gravely In
formed by a lady that bees were 'the most
occult insects" and that one which had
just flown in al the window was the bearer
OF a message to her.

Quite worst of all though is the girl who.

other man who comes her way 1t is hor

and to both men. AS she is engaged. and
presumably happy. She should do what she
can to help the unengaged to have good
time with the other men.
This is not to say that she should not
dance with other men sail with them.
for To sit off in corner simply because she
Is engaged to be married Is the other eX
treme. The happy medium lies in using
her powers to put the other girls forward

but not to play the leading part. That
should be relegated to others. and she will
lose nothing in the end by this policy. To
the contrary. she will make herself gen.

dear and the men that shes all right.
At the same time she will be enjoying her
self tremendously and she may be helping

and tact. combined with her own happi
ness will make her friends for life.

save, perhaps, with an extremely elaborate
jacket, when, II long sleeves are especially
desired, cuffs of lace or embroidered linen
may be added from the elbows attached to
the sleeve itself by loose cap or lining.
Instead OF having three piece costume,
the effect of a long fitted Jacket may be
obtained in a two-piece dress made with
rather a severe bodice having a long fitted
skirt piece added al the belt. One such
model was made up in light blue linen
trimmed with inserted medalions of cluny
lace The bodice. fastening in front, had
little square yoke of the material trimmed
only with border OF white hand-embroid-
cred polka dots, stiff turned-down en-
broidered linen collar with a little lace
jabot giving the necessary touch OF white
against the face. The three quarter length
sleeves were gathered into light cuff just
below the elbow, their only trimming con-

mer. but still they could not be said to be
altogether out Of favor. The more severe
linen and pongee Jackets, however which
are quite evidently designed for simple
wear. are finished off with straps or with
collar and cuffs Of the same material, or
else with a collar Of velvet the same shade
as the dress or trffle darker in tone. and
these are put on In such way that they
can readily be taken out and replaced when
the suit IS laundered. There is very little
difference in the models for long-coat
sleeves and for those of three-quarter
length. Both styles are finished off with
plain rows Of stitching or some strap de-
sign. or else have turned back cuffs piped
with silk. linen or velvet. The kimono
sleeve. made in one piece with and form
ing part of the waist itself. is seen in the
elbow sleeves. but Is not often satisfactory
for three-quarter length. and had best not
be attempted with a full-length sleeve,
