Days Set Apart for Cleaning
Up City of Athena.
CLEANING UP NOW GOING ON
Athena Home Owners Will Not Let
All of the Work Be Done on
Those Two Days.

mbering that Wednesday and
Thursday. April 10 and I, are the two
days set apart by the mayor in which
to clean up Athena, residents of the
town have already taken hold of rake
and shovel, with the object in view of
not leaving all the work to be per-
formed on those two days.
The idea advanced by Mayor Pla-
mondon in the matter of placing the
town districts with a member of the
city council to superintend the work
in each district is recognized as being a
good one. and promises to greatly ia !,
cilitate the labor of being about better
sanitary conditions and beautifying
Athena.
During the past few days many piles
of disease breeding and unsightly de-
bris and rubbish have been Taked up
and burned. Portions of alleys and
vacant lots have also received atten-
tion, the refuse having been carted
away.
Should good weather prevail and
the work continue as it has during
the last few days the bulk of the
cleaning up will have been accom-
plished before the dates named have
arrived, and only the finishing touches
will remain to be put on.

attention which they cannot get from
man. For that reason l have adver-
tised for woman to help me. ! do
not object to children, provided, of
course, as specify in my 'ad, that
they are under good control.

HOLDS UP UNIVERSITY FUND
State Grange Demands Referendum
on Appropriation.

The University of Oregon appropri
alton bill is to be referred to the peo
pie. Efforts of Linn County Grang
ers to hold up the university bill
eliminated in a meeting of represen
tatives of all grange organizations Of
Linn County in Albany.
Besides the grangers there were in
attendance President P. L. Campbell
of the University. and Senator NJ. A.
Miller, member of the board of regents
of the school. These men presented
very strongly the universlty's case
showing the need of more money than
was appropriated.
The $125,000 carried in the bill was
segregated by President Campbell,
who explained the use to be rlade of
every dollar. But the grangers were
obdurate and at the close of the con
ference decided to use the referendum
to hold the appropriation up until the
next general election, when the people
will determine the fate Of the school.
But little argument was used in sup
port of the position of the Grange,
other than "retrenchment. 1t was
also decided to have reproduced an
editorial printed in the Oregoniau of
Saturday. February IL, 1905. entitled,
Machine Made Citizens" and scat
ter thousands of copies over the state.

Found Artesian Water.

A correspondent from North Yakima
says:
Twelve miles from this city in a
barren sagebrush section of the Mckee
valley, which as matter of fact is
the richest soil in Yakima county,
when under water. J. H. Rose yester-
day struck an immense flow of artesian
water after going down 1000 feet.
The water gushes forth at rate of
two and half cubic feet per second,
the largest flow ever found in central
Washington. The we'll is surrounded
by thousands of acres of land which
will soon be made to blossom like the
rose. The strike almost caused panic
among the real estate men here who
for the past six months have been sell
ing land in this region at remarkably
low prices. Other wells will be sunk
at once.

spection of Dry and Pine creeks, above

two unlawful dams and removed these
obstruotions. One of them was outside
his jurisdiction, and going to Walla

G. W. Whitney, deputy gam and fish
warden there.
These creeks, once famous trout
streams, are now clear for fish except
in one locality, which will receive at
tention soon from Mr.. Shumway. He
thinks that Pine and Dry creeks should
afford better sport for the angler this
season than for the past 10 years.

WAS M'G|BBON MURDERED
Suspicious Exist as to the Death of
Former Weston Man.

The Walla Walla Sta tesman says of
the recent death of William McGibbon
at Wallula: 4
Because there have been two mur-
ders committed in Wallula within the
past few weeks. residents of the com
munity believe there were reasons for
another when McGihbon was found
dead in his stable about six miles
from Wallula.
Neighborhood gossip has it the man
was murdered and his body then
thrown under the manger, where it
would seem likely horse had kicked
him, causing the death.
McGibbon. who was an Odd Fellow,
was more than so years old. A COM
munication sent to the Wallula Gate
way and signed by an Odd Fellow
urges that thorough investigation be
made.
About nine O'Clock in the evening
before he was found, he got out of
bed and told his wife he must 60 to
town after hired man. That was the
last seen of him alive. 1t is said the
horses, ore of which kicked him, were
both 'old and gentle.
A careful Investigation by the au-
'horities fails to reveal any showing of
a crime having been committed. Cor
oner MacMartin was called but decid-
ed an inquest wac unnecessary. He
said today he would probably bold an
inquest to satisfy those who believed
a murder had been committed.
