FARMERS REPAIR HIGHWAYS
At the County's Expense Plan Seems
to Be a Good One.

Now that spring is on and increased
travel will soon ensue on all of the
county roads, the commissioners are
anxious to get the highways in repair
again as soon as possible says the East
Oregonian. Until recently it was i'm
possible. SO they declare, to do much
owing to the fact that the ground was
still frozen and because Of the scarcity
of men. The latter difficulty is now
reing overcome by getting the farmers
along the roads to do much OF the
work. The method of having the re-
pairs made by the various supervisors
and the farmers interested has been
found very satisfactory Ey the court.
Consequently some time ago an order
was made allowing parties to 20 ahead
and make repairs at the expense Of the
county. This they have been doing

WcIIinEton,s Vanity,

Among the portraits at the Royal
academy there are some which could
tell stories, some with little touches to
reveal the idlosyncrasies of subjects
no less than of painters. Is the story
Of Lawrences portrait Of the Duke Of
Wellington commonly known2 The
duke had olIy one yanity--hls wrist

given the sword of state to carry 1t
was his infinite delight that he was
able to carry 1t upright All his prede-

and according to Judge Gilliland it has
been the only way iu which the repairs
could be made.
Yesterday Commissioners Walker
and Lee drove ont in the vicinity of
Holdman to see the damage inflicted in
Cold Springs canyon, and other places
of that section. Today they have been
along Wild Horse between here and
Adams to ascertain the damage and
give istructions regarding repairs
there. According to Judge Gilliand,
every effort will he made to get the
roads ready for travel at once SO that
spring work may not be delayed be-
cause of the poor highways.

Diphtheria at Umatilla.

DIR. Smith was hurried to Umatilla
by special train Tuesday in answer
to a call to attend the family of J. Il.
Bullock, who have been stricken with
diphtheria in bad form says the Tri-
bune. One child aged two and one
half years has already been carried
away by the malady and four other
children besides the father aud mother
are now in serious condition. Many
other outside families were exposed
before the disease was discovered and
fears are entertained that the trouble
will be wide spread and great anxiety
is felt for the children of the COM

He MAY Be FREED
Puter May Gain Liberty For
Giving Testimony,
KING PIN or LAND FRAUD|sTS
He and Former surveyor-General
Likely to Escape Punishment
In Return For Evidence.

When Stephen A. D. Puter who
needs no further introduction, finish
es some weeks hence his testimony for
government against Binger Hermann,
now on trial in Washington on
charge of destroying copy books while
commissioner of the general land
Office, it is probable that he will be
free again to advertise and check mp
the advance sales of his history of the
Oregon land frauds. which he is now
engaged in writing says the Portland
Journal.
It is rumored that in consideration
of Puter's willingness to testify for the
prosecution in the Hermann case and
the value Of his testimony, the govern
ment will suspend the balance of his
penal service and the 81, 500 fine i'm
| posed at the time he was sentenced
last June. Likewise, it is stated.
Henry Meldrum, ex-surveyor general
Of Oregon. who was tried and convict
ed for completely in the Oregon land
frauds. but who has not yet suffered
the penalty imposed, will be pardoned.
Puter was tried and convicted by
special assistant to the attorney gem
eral Francis J. Heney. He was SEN
fenced to two years imprisonment in
the county jail and subjected to fine
of 81 500. Puter was committed to
the Jail July 6, 1905, and, barring
the time deducted for good behavior.
would still have 16 months to serve
before his sentence was completed in
addition to the payment of bis fine.
Puter's conviction and Imprisonment
lost him his citizenship and he, there
fore, had nothing to fear from the
courts if he refused to appear as a
witness against Hermann. His trip
to Washington il behalf of the gov
ernudont was made by his own voli-
tion.

for this purpose. Tho line is up Cold
Springs canyon from the Columbia
river to Holdman postoffice. The d is
tance is about 10 miles, and the road
will run so that it will enter the tract
of the east Umatilla project close to
the reservoir site. By taking that
course the line will be little longer
than would otherwise be necessary,
but it is believed that the extension
will justify itself. Later it is believed
the road will be extended to Helix and
then on to Pendleton. e. w. McComas

ing the right of way.
