Battles Decided by a sinoIe Shot.

There are certainly three instances
on record Of siege or battle having
been decided by single shot. First in
order Of Importance was the shot be-
lieved to have been fred by one of his
own men which killed Charles MI. in
the trenches of the fortress Of Fried
richstein, which Immediately led to the
raising of the second siege of Fried.
richshall. This Is perhaps the most i'm
portant musket shot ever fired in the
history of the world. Next comes the
discharge Of the mortar fired by Lord
Cochrane during the defense Of Port
Trinidad in 1903. This shot folled a
French surprise and saved the fortress
Lastly, there was the single discharge
Of grapeshot which saved the fortress
and town of Haddington in 154S. The
French invaders had actually forced
their way into the outworks of the cas-
tie when the one well directed shot
created such havoc in their densely
packed ranks that there ensued an i'm
mediate panic, which ended in flight.

Where Foqs Are Thickest.

''In going from Rome to Paris" said
a young man, Il paid extra money to
cross the st. Gothard, but that lofty
Alpine pass was disappointment. 1t
was foggy, and 1 saw nothing Of the
Alps. Hard luck, eh?'
"Not at ALL" replied the globe trotter.
Nearly everybody finds the st. Go
thard wrapped in fog and mist. The
st. Gothard, In fact, is the foggiest
place In the world. London has 3S
days Of fog year, Munich has Al,
Hamburg has 81, Tegernsee, in the
Bavarian Alps, has 1874. Overlapping
all of them comes the st. Gothard,
with an annual average Of 277 foggy
days."

Secretary Smythe Urges Sheepmen to
Attend Convention.

State Woolgrowers' association, was
here the latter part of last week for
the purpose Of urging the woolgrow-
ers of Morrow county to attend the
annual meeting. which will be held

says the Heppner Times.
He expects to get together at this
meeting Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the
forest service, and other members of
that service to take up the sheep
grazing question in national forests.
He wants as many sheepmen as pos
sible to attend this meeting and dis
cuss all questions of interest to Sheep
men in their relation to forest re-
serves.
Mr.. Smythe also expects Governor
Chamberlain to call a public lands
convention at the same time and
place. The object of the public
lands meeting is to ascertain the at
titude of government regarding the
use Of government lands outside of
national forests by sheepmen.
These questions are of vital inter-
est to the sheepmen of Morrow coun-
ty, hence the Importance Of the meet
ing and the necessity of a liberal rep
resentation Of sheepmen from our
county.

The ADVANTAGE of an Accident.

"The small size OF the propeller
screw" says noted shlpbuilder, sis
not due to the perception of any in
ventor of its greater effect as COM
pared with larger one, but purely to
accident. Many years ago screws for
steamers were made as large as possl-
BILE, it being the theory that the great
er the diameter the higher the speed.
A vessel was sent to sea with screw
so large that it was deemed best to
cast each blade in two parts and then
weld them together. During storm
all three blades Of the propeller broke
at the welding, reducing the diameter
by more than two-thirds. To the sur
prise of the captain the vessel shot for
ward at a speed such as had never
been attained before. Engineers then
experimental with small propellers
and discovered that they were much
more effective than large ones. Had II
not been for that accident we might
have gone on using large bladed
screws to the present day"

MORROW COUNTY YIELD.
Umatilla's Sister County Will Produce
100000 Bushels.

grain yield of Morrow county:
Heppner ......... 400, 900 bushels
Lexington ........ 100000 bushels
lone and Jordan. -. 100000 bushels
Douglas and Cecil. 100000 bushels
From the most reliable sources 1t
is safe to estimate the grain crop of
Morrow county at 100000 bushels.
and it is not improbable that it will
exceed that amount. r. F. Hynd,
secretary Of The Morrow Warehouse
Milling company who is in a position
to keep in close touch with the grain
production of the county, thinks the
above estimate n conservative one
and that It is more liable to exceed
than go below that amount.

Attendance at church service is OBJ
ligatory upon the part of soldiers at
certain English posts, and amusing
stories are told of the excuses that
are sometimes resorted to in order to
escape this requirement. At one post
where a number of recruits were tenn

ordered to ascertain to what religious
sect each man belonged and to see that
he Joined the party told of for that par
tlcular form Of worship Some of the
men had no liking for church and de-
clared themselves to be atheists. But
the sergeant was a Scotsman and a
man OF experience.
"Ah. weel." said he, ''then We haze no
need to kape holy the Sabbath, and the
stables hae ma been claned cot lately"
And he ordered them to clean out the
stables. This occupied practically the
whole day, and the men lost their usual
Sunday afternoons leave.

over the face Of the sergeant when he
heard that the atheists had joined the
Church Of England.-London Tit-Bits.
