Melvin Harrington, Is years old

from the effects of blood poisoning.
Several weeks ago the boy was play

about his own age and the street was
improvised as a gridiron. In play

edge of a sidewalk and received an
injury that was considered of little
consequences at the time. However.
blood poisoning afterwards set in
and proved fatal.
The funeral was held at 2 o'clock
this afternoon and the body was laid

Letter TO the OregonIan.

Following is a copy of the letter
written by Judge s. A. Lowell to the
Portland Oregonian on the congress
sional situation:
Pendleton. Nov. 25, 1907 (To the
Editor. IL have read with surprise
your announcement in yesterdays
Oregonian that I am seeking a nomi-
nation for congress in this district,
and in justice to men who may de-
sire that honor, l trust you will give
this letter equal prominence In your
columns. 'h4TN
I am not a candidate for any Of
flee, nor do / expect at any time to
ask for the position which your ar
ticle discusses. Had / desired a seat
in the lower house OF congress, l
think It will be conceded that | could
have had It long ago, but / have only
two political ambitions, one to be
governor of the state, the other to
represent It in the United states sem
ate Whether either OF these ambi-
tions Is yet to be satisfied must rest
with the future.
However, I am free to say that l
am opposed to the denomination of
Mr.. Ellis, for the reason that Oregon
needs her ablest men at washington,
and do not think that the most ar
dent admirers Of the congressman
would place him in that category.
He is an agreeable gentleman, of
moderate abilities and surprising in
dolence. who entertalns no very de-
cided opinions upon any subject, and
whose six years record when rep
resentative before is substantially a
blank. There certainly is no reason
to expect more from him II he were
to be returned there for decade.
II the eastern portion of the state
IS to be conceded congressional hon
ors again, then It is clearly the duty |
of our people to rally around some |
strong, forcible, able man like NAL
colin A. Moody of The Dalles. 7. T.
Geer or James A. Fee of Pendleton'
John L. Rand or Charles A. Johns
of Baker City. am ready to support
either one of these gentlemen.
II Governor Geer is candidate and
can hold for the congressional nomi-
nation the enormous vote which he re-
ceived in Multnomah county as
candidate for governor at the last
primary election, I venture the pre-
diction that he will defeat Ellis three
to one.
If, however, it is the purpose Of the
voters OF Multnomah county to throw
their ballots in favor of one Of their
own citizens, then in behalf Of the
residents Of the great interior I beg
to ask that your ablest man be select
ed in order that the commonwealth
may take Its just position in the coun-
ellis Of the nation.
Respectfully,

At this time of year, says a -well

forms of rheumatism, Nervous and

by shaking well in a bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after your meals

SEE END OF STEAM
ELECTRICITY is THE COMING MO-
TIVE POWER.
Experiments Along This Line Have
Met with Such Uniform Success
That the Day Of General Adop-
ton Is Near.

Five years ago, except for the over
head trolley and a few other expert
mental cases, there was not a railroad
in the country using electricity for
it's motive power. Ten years hence,
say the railroad prophets, the steam
locomotive will be almost as much of
a novelty as the horse car is to-day,
and the electric motor will reign SUI
preme in the handling of all freight
and passenger service.
1t was only five years ago when the
motive power of the elevated roads in
New York city was changed from
steam to electricity. The example
thus set was followed by the subway,
and later by the terminal system of
the New York Central lines. The first
electric train was u by the latter in
December of last year, 81 miles of
electric equipment having been built
on the Hudson division and 81 miles
on the Harlem. Now over 200 electric
trains pass through the terminal tun-
nels of the Central daily; in a year, it
is estimated, all the trains on this line
will enter the city by electricity, and
in ten years, according to the opinion
of some of the officials of the road, the
electric motor will replace the steam
locomotive on the entire Central sys-
tenn.
In this change Of it's motive power
from steam to electricity the expert
ence of the Central merely illustrates
what is taking place or what is
planned on the other great roads of
the country. Now that the danger
from the deadly third rail" has been
practically eliminated by incasing the
latter in wood the chief hindrance to
the adoption of electricity by the
through railroads has been overcome.
AS a consequence, the demand on the
part of the railroads for electric equip
ment has increased SO rapidly that it
has passed, temporarily, quite beyond
the ability OF the manufacturers to
meet it. Meanwhile, enough has been

GONE FOREVER r.

Ten years ago a farmer put his ini-
tials on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard Of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out Of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.

helps you to pay your taxes, support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand in times of sickness

KEEPING STEAM UP WITH OIL.
An Entirely Different Job from Firing
a Locomotive with Coal.

Firing a locomotive with oil Is q
very different matter from firing with
coal. In Texas on account Of the
low cost Of fuel oil many lines burn
it in their engines.
THE oil is stored in tanks in the
tender and enters the firebox below
the door," writes a Texas firemon in
the Locomotive Firemen's Magazine.
"A small pipe called the atomizer con
meets with the oil pipe just as 1t
reaches the firebox, which sprays the
oil evenly all over the firebox, which
is lined with fire brick.
THE fireman has five valves to OPP
erate-the oil valve, to regulate the
supply of oil; the atomizer, to spray
it; the heater, which heats the oil
in the tank; the s~uperheater, which
heats the pipes connecting tank with
firebox, and the blower, which must
be worked a little when steam is
shut off to create draught enough to
keep oil burning.
Firing an oil burner is a very par
ticular job. The operation of the oil
valve and the atomizer must CORE
spond at all times with the amount
of work an engine is doing; not
enough fire starts an engine leaking,
and too much oil makes black smoke,
gums up the flues and makes less
steam.
at is then up to the fireman to
get down on the deck and fill up a
funnel with sand to clean the f1ues.
By putting the end Of the funnel into
a hole in the firebox door the sand
is drawn through the flues and out the
stack.
"Firemen on helpers and yard en-
gines prefer coal, as it requires less
watching, but on a through freight,
especially on the heavy hills, oil is
all right. The engineer can drop her
down a notch or SO, and just as quick
ly can the fireman give her a little
more oil and the atomizer.
THE hardest work an oil burner
fireman does is to take water. 1t is
not a dirty job, either, but I have
never seen a fireman wearing a white
collar. 1t is all he can do to keep
clean overalls. The pay was just the
same as for the coal burners in that
locality.

Not at All Necessary to Operate In
Many Cases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
GONE people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges-
tive machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum. Chats the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix.)
A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile-then Grape
Nuts and got well without an opera
ton.
She says: Five years ago while at
school, l suffered terribly with consti-
patton and indigestion" (Too much
starch, white bread, potatoes, etc.,
which she did not digest.)
Soon after I left school / had an at
tack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water. When
/ recovered enough to eat solid food
there was nothing that would agree
with me, until a friend recommended
Grape-Nuts.
when I began to eat Grape-Nuts l
weighed 9S lbs, but / soon grew to lis
lbs. The distress after eating left me
entirely and now / am like a new per-
son."
"a little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot
water or milk would have been much
better for this case than milk alone,
for the starchy part of the wheat and
barley is changed into a form of d.
gestable sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)
