A JAIL ABANDONED BY BIRDS
Spectacular Escape From Confinement
and Dash for Mountains.

''Mr. Sheriff: Kiss the girls good
bye for us. We have decided to take
a stroll, but as the circuit judge is in
town we postponed it until evening.
We dug through the floor, hoped the
fences and are bound for the hills"
The above communication, signed
by Carl Dunn. the boy horesthief who
was arrested in La Grande a short
time ago and returned to Enterprise
Wallowa county, to stand trial for
stealing horses, and Pres Montgomery.
also formerly of La Grande and until
early Saturday morning held in Jail
under default of bonds to keep the
peace, was the startling notice. which
Sheriff Blakely saw when he entered
the Jail. The card of thanks and ex-
cuse for leave of absence was tackled
to the wall of the Cell and gave fore
warning that the two had broken Jail
and escaped.
With some sharp instrument. the
nature of which is not ascertainable.
the prisoners had dug through the
floor of the cell room and under the
foundation, making their escape good.
Just what hour the delivery took
place is not known. and when the
sheriff started in pursuit he did not
know how far in the lead the pursued
were.

Mininister Hoven Organizing
Class For Athena Boys.
UNITED STATES INF. MANUEL
Military Training in Drills, Marches,
Discipline, Tactics aud Camp
to Be Taught.

Minister Hoven of the Athena
Christian church is loyal friend of
the boys and is inaugurating fascinat-
ing, and at the same time useful and
instructive departure that will surely
be of great advantage and intense in
terest to all boys of Athena and vicin-
ity. ranging in age from ten years to
fifteen.
Mr. Hoven is organizing a class of
young soldiers, for the purpose of in
structing them in the regular course
OF the military training as followed
by the manuel adopted for use by the
United States infantry.
1t is Mr.. Hoven's purpose to secure
as many boys of the age limit men,
toned for members of the class as
possible, and later. if sufficient inter-
est is taken in the work he will pro-
badly extend the age limit so that boys
up to eighteen may become mem bers.
The first meeting of the class took
place Tuesday evening of this week at
the Christian church. when eight
names were secured for mem bership.
Until further notice this military class
will meet at the church on Tuesday
evening of each week for drill,
promptly at z o'clock.
When the class has sufficiently mas
tered the different drills aud military
tactics. Mr.. Hoven proposes to give
the members experience in real army
camp life, and to do so the boys will
march to the Umatilla river and camp
out for period of three days.
Here is offered splendid opportu-
nifty for Athena boys to acquire the
rudiments OF military training such as
afforded in the principal boy schools
of the different states at no cost what
ever.

THE WAGE PROBLEM
Two Hundred Men in Walla Walla
Want Work, But Ask for
Increased Wages.

Fully 200 idle men seeking harvest
employment liue Walla Walla's bust
ness streets, says tho Statesman.
These men have drifted in from all
over the country, lured by the stories
of labor shortage in this section of the
country. In every shady spot on Main,
Alder and the side streets uptown
crowds of idlers or loungers are seeking
for work.
And what is stranger, it is reported
that farmers are having trouble to Sc
cure hands. This is caused by differ
ence of opinion between the farmers
and the laborers as to the value Of the
latter.
All want work, but all want fancy
prices for the same, and there the diff
Guilty lies. But it is safe to say that
all such differences will be easily ad-
justed in the light of the banner crop
to be harvested here this year.
Harvest is not yet fairly on is an.
other reason for the crowds of unoc-
cupied men. Haying is on in full
blast, but this requires only fraction
of the men who will be needed for
harvesting the grain.
1t is freely predicted that about one
third of the men here now will not
find work. When the immense wheat
ranches start heading and threshing
operations, however, different aspect
will be put on the matter.
One experienced farmer said that
there were not yet even enough to
harvest the crops, to say nothing of
any surplus of labor.
Many men are being sent out daily
by the employment bureaus, most of
whom will remain for the entire bar
vest. Harvest proper will begin in
about 10 or Is days. Until then Walla
Walla may expect to have her tempo
rary population adorning the streets
and corners.

WANTS NO DAMS ON PLACE
Adams Sues Columbia Caual Company
for Damages.

H. @. Adams. of this city, began
proceedings in the superior court at
Walla Walla Wednesday to get out
an injunction against the Columbia
Canal company to prevent them from
building further dams on bis place, as
we'll as to recover damages for damage
already done on the place.
Mr.. Adams has farm about ten
miles from the mouth of the Walla
Walla river, and states that the canal
company built dam across the Walla
Walla in 1905, below his place, near
the mine mile" county bridge. This
backed the water up on his place,
damaged the growing crops, and in
jured his land to considerable ex-
tent. On account of the formation of
the soil a large section of it was rem
dered miry and swampy SO that in
1906 he received scarcely any income
from the land. He asks for 81 900
damages.
Last winter the river changed its
course somewhat, and now the Colum-
bia Canal company are building per.
manent wing dams. 1t is to prevent
the erection of these that Adams de
sires an injunction granted.
Pedigo and Bryson are handling the
case for Mr.. Adams. It will come up
for hearing in the superior court with
in ten days.

WILL Be A FACTOR
North Bank Road Will Take Large
Quantities of Grain Into Port
land, When Completed.

That the north bank road will be a
factor in the transportation question
of the inland empire from the day of
its completion, is shown in the follow
ing from the Oregon Daily Journal of
Portland, which says:
North bank road completed to a
point opposite Cello or The Dalles
within the next few weeks, in time to
handle the fall wheat crop. The bulk
of the grain from the great wheat pro-
duoing Horse Heaven region of south
ern Washington, heretofore shipped to
Seattle, will enter Portland. Hill
buyers already contracting this year g
crop Of wheat in Benton and Kliokitat
counties to be delivered on the north
bank, for shipment to this city.
This is the word that came down
the Columbia where the Hill forces
are putting forth every effort to crowd
the laying of rails along the north
bank of the river. In suEstantiation
of the telegraph messages received here
tina. the north bank road will handle
this years production of wheat in the
Horse Heaven country and ship it 10
Portland, was the statement that Hill
buyers to the humber of a dozen are
losing little time in signing contracts
with the wheat producers Of southern
Washington between Kennewick and
Cello for this years production of
grain.
These contracts are being signed
with the understanding that the crops
will be delivered at various points
along the north bank of the Columbia
and hand in hand with the successful
efforts to corral the wheat in this re-
gion is the renewed effort on the part
of construction forces to finish the
laying of rails from Kennewick to the
open river below the rapids.
Construction forces on the north
Eank road have completed their work
to point 46 miles west of Kennewick
and from this point westward the lay
ing of rails is being crowded ahead at
the rate of mile and a half a day.
In view of both the effort to finish the
road and tbe signing Of wheat con-
tracts there is left little room to doubt
that the Hill lines have we'll laid plans
to handle the entire wheat crop Of
southeastern Washington this year,
save the uphill haul which has hereto
fore been necessary in order to get the
crop into Seattle. and at the same time
bar the o. R. & N. from participating
in the handling of the immense traffic.

GIRL ENDS LIFE WITH ACID
Flung Empty Bottle Into the Face
of Her Lover.

Following quarrel with her lover,
Walter Adams, Nora Wade, the II
year old daughter of Henry Wade, a
we'll known character of Pilot Rock
country, swallowed carbolic acid
about 10 O'Clock Tuesday night, threw
the bottle in Adams face and with
the words, there you are," was dead
in Is minutes. The tragedy, says a
Pendleton paper, occurred on little
Mckay about one mile beyond the
bend Of Mckay and east of Pilot Rock
on a ranch being far.ned by her ia
ther.
Adams, who was employed on the
Wade ranch. says that he has known
the girl for IL years and that they
have heen keeping company constantly
for the past two months and off and
ON before that, for long while. Ao-
cording to his story, he and the girl
were cutting up, on the porch. after
supper and though he does not state
exactly how 1t came about, their fun
ended in quarrel.
All the particulars of this quarrel
as given by him are that later as he
was on his way to the barn to retire,
he passed her sitting in buggy, cry
ing. When he asked her what the
matter was she replied by calling him
vile name and striking him with the
buggy whip.
1t must have been not very long
after this that she went to the house
and made preparations for the ending
of her life. After she had written her
farewell messages and secured the poi
son she returned to the barn and called
Adams from his bed. He says he was
awakened by his companion who told
him that Nora was there, calling tc
him that she was going to take car
bolic acid.
He jumped and started toward her,
tut just before he reached her, she
said, "good bye Walter" swallowed
the contents of the bottle, threw it at
him with the words, "there you are"
and toppled over.

and MILTON FRUIT
Three Hundred Tons of Prunes Sold
at 81 1-2 Cents Per Crate.

Ella Rogers, manager for the Milton
Fruit Growers Union, has just con-
cluded contract with Riggs & Sax
ton of Boise, Idaho. to furnish 800 tons
of prunes at the rate of 81 1-2 cents
per crate. Each crate will contain
prune baskets and will contain %
pounds of prunes, after deducting cost
of packing, boxes, loading, etc. this
price will net the growers about $24
per ton. Previous years the growers
have averaged from $14 to SIG per ton
aud at times poor demand at those
figures.
This is the largest sale of fruit ever
made in that vicinity and will no
doubt advertise Freewater as a great
prune center
This sale brings approximately,
$4,000 into the immediate vicinity of
FIeewater aud will net the growers at
least $4,000 more cash than similar
number of tons in previous years.
August Tanke, who lives in North
Milton, has an eight acre fruit ranch,
two of them being in strawberries.
Mr.. Tanke has already had excellent
returns from his investment this year.
The strawberry acres netted him 1888.
Six hundred peach trees are bearing
abundant fruit this year, which be is
confident will net him $4,000. Apple
trees. which are in excellent condition
and free from worm and Goblin moth
will realize him fully s., 900 this year
from eight acres, or $3.50 per acre net
gain.
