WOMAN WORLD TOURIST.
German Spends Night and Day in
Pendieton.

Miss E. Woelcke of Berlin. Ger
many, was in the city since last even
ing until noon today when she left
for Spokane. She has been visiting
various countries of interest since
September last, and while at the st.
George today, she spoke frequently
of how she had been enjoying Ameri-
ca and its people.
She visited many foreign countries
before coming to America, among
them being England, Japan. Aus
tralia, China, leaving Korea just be-
fore the trouble there. She reached
Seattle several days ago, and has
been in Victoria. Portland and other
points of interest. From Spokane
she will probably journey toward
Yellowstone park, after which she
will visit several large cities before
returning to Berlin late in Septem-
Der.
She is a lady of wealth and refine
ment and is making this trip to learn
all that she can of the different
countries. Many things are new to
her, and she said among the most
curious to her was a watermelon
which she saw cut last night, the
first she had ever seen. She spoke
of Pendleton as being an exceptional
town for its size, and the hotels
above the average for such a place.
She speaks the English Language
fluently, and tells of her travels ir
the most interesting manner.

Another feature was added to the
now famous Balcom case today when
Frank Balcom, the husband, filed
he has failed to support The case
was filed by Peter West and in view
of the allegations of neglect made
against Balcom, and which he admit
ted were true, the suit Is a peculiar
one. Cruel and inhuman treatment is
alleged against Mrs. Balloon. They
were married in 1904 and the little
child is now 6 months old.
1t is understood that the suit for
divorce was brought in hopes of Sc
curing Balcom's release from the
county JAIL to which he was sentenc-
ed for one year by Judge Gillilahd.
Under the terms of the sentence the
prisoner is entitled to his freedom
provided he gives $500 bond to
properly support his wife. 1t is on
the theory that If given divorce he
would then be entitled to his freedom
that the suit was started. Whether
the law would so operate seems tC
be matter OF doubt.
But If Balcom's hope OF freedom
hangs upon his prospect for getting
a divorce it is u very fragile thread
In the opinion of District Attorne!
Phelps he has no just claim for I
divorce. and such is the general opin
ion among those who have followed
the case. Among the court house of
ficials sentiment is strong upon tn
subject, and Mrs. Balcom win not lacl
for assistance should she wish to con
test the suit for tiivorce.
Congratulations for Judge.

IN SOLID PHALANX.
Inland Empire Delegates to the Sac
ramento Congress.

To have all Of the inland empire
delegates to the national irrigation
congress go to Sacramento in body
is the desire of DIR. Blalock Of the
Walla Walla delegation, according to
w. T. Shaw of Milton, who has been
here today. Mr.. Shaw was a repre-
sentative at the congress held in Boise
last fall. and he has been named by
Governor Chamberlain to attend the
Sacramento gathering this year. Re-
grading the movement to form an
inland empire party to the conven-
ton, he said:
'There will be a large delegation
from Walla Walla this year, and DR.
Blalock is trying to arrange so that
all of the delegates from this section
will go in a body from Portland tc
Sacramento. A time can be agreed
upon for meeting in Portland and by
going together from that place the
trip will be made more pleasant foi
the delegates and affairs concerning
the congress can be discussed"
Owing to the fact that all of tn,
delegates have not yet been named
, from this place, Mr.. Shaw was un
able to lay the plan before them
However, when the mayor and presi
dent of the Commercial association
make their selections the delegate
will be asked to unite with the party
The national congress will be hel,
in Sacramento this year from Sep
tember 2 to 7, inclusive.

storage rate. The storage rate was
announced, but Immediately it became
impossible to get the coal to store.
The character of the coal now de-
n-of-the-mine-is poorly
adapted to culinary purposes. The
preponderence of slack and fine dust
makes 1t difficult to burn with ease
in the ordinary range or cooking
stove. 1t does fairly well in air-tight
heaters, but even then, unless the
consumer is familiar with the best
way in which to handle the stuff, poor
results are obtained. City Council
man ]. M. Bistline, of the Bistline
Lumber company, one of the largest
coal dealers In the city, in conversa-
tion with a Tribune man yesterday,
gives some valuable advice to con-
sumers Of run-of-mine coal. He says
1t is the ordinary practice OF the av-
erage householder, especially the wo-
men folks. to fill scuttles from run
of-mine coal by picking out the lar
'gest Jumps, leaving the dust and
slack for future consumption.
''If the coal is burned Just as 1t
comes, Jumps and dust in about equal
proportions. and sprinkled before be-
ing placed in the heater, fair results
will be obtained" says Mr.. Bistline.
"Ifr used in a cooking stove, the
practice of poking the fire should be
avoided. Too much poking results
In heavy loss of heat units, through
sitting the fine particles through the
crate. Coal is going to be so valu-
able this winter that 1t should be
conserved, not dumped on the ash
heap"

MOURN MoLUREs ABSENCE.
Federal "vets" Fear Best Bali Play
er Has Been "Lost."


That DIR. S. w. Mcclure, head OF
the federal stock inspection in the
northwest, has become "lost" Is fear.
ed by the other gentlemen who in.
habit the Pendleton office of the
bureau OF animal industry. For three
days no word has been received from
the absent chief and meanwhile there
is much speculation as to his where
abouts. AS chief OF the inspection
service his loss is not severely felt as
yet, but 1t is rumored that his pro-
longed absence is running the wet"
bali team. DR.. Mcclure has one Of
the best twirling arms in the quaran-
tined district, which includes all Of
the sheepraising states, and should he
fail to return It may be difficult for
the local BAH players to replace him.
Just what has happened to Dr..
Mcclure is a mystery. AS the Great
Northern does not run into Portland,
there is little danger that he became
-venturesome and attempted to ride
upon a G. n. passenger train. A more
likely theory is that he and DR.. w. H.
Lytle have gone upon q celebration
"trip through some of the western Or
egon counties. During the past few
days the report has been current west
OF the mountains that DIR. Lytle was
married in this dty last Sunday and
as a result he has been busy receiving
congratulations nom his sheepraisine
friends.
Last evening George Newberry

forwarded a check for $1.5e, as ex
tpense money, to DR.. Mcclure and il
is hoped that this, together witt
orher measures taken will result II

The following suggestive informa-
tion is from the Pocatello Tribune:
Local coal dealers today announce
that on and after August is the price
of Wyoming coal to consumers in this
city will be raised 81 per ton. Utah
coal has been selling for some time
for $7,75 per ton, and now the Wyo-
ming product will be boosted to an
even level. Even at that, orders are
being accepted by dealers subject to
their ability to deliver the goods. Lit
tie coal is being received from the
mines, and none of 1t Is of first
grade. Most of the fuel is known as
run-of-mine-the coal just as 1t
comes from the mine. Lump coal
seems almost impossible to secure at
this time.
From the dealers 1t Is learned that
the possibility of suffering this win
ter is strong. There is pronounced
probability, also, that the schools will
be found short before the cold sea-
son is ended. Dealers who have
heretofore held contracts for deliv-
ering coal to the Pocatello public
schools, announce that at this time
last year, they had filled the school
bins almost full. Today they are
some 200 tons behind on these or
ders. The Academy bins are also
short. Unless some change occurs in
conditions. 1t is not impossible that
some of the schools will have to close
this winter.
Smith Brothers this spring built
large storage bins at their new east
side coal yard, anticipating an oppor-
tunity of availing themselves of a

COAL ADVANCE.
Reported to be so Cents Higher at

1t is announced by the News at
Salt Lake city that an advance of so
cents alton on sort coal is soon to go
into effeat at all the mines. The coal
situation there as in all other inter-
mountain cities and towns, is very
acute.
Consumers have been endeavoring
to store coal for the coming winter
but they mae met with practically no
success. an other instances house,
holders have succeeded in getting
some by huying a ton at. a time from
different yards: but as rule bins
have not been filled for winter use.
Therefore this announcement Of a
prospective advance in price creates
much disappointment.

FIREMAN IS NEARLY
 KILLED BY FALLING
j.. R. AIKEN FALLS BACKWARD FROM TOP OF NEGRO HOUSE AND HIS SKULL IS PROBABLY FRACTURED.

J. B. Aiken, fireman of engine house No. 1, fell on his head yesterday morn in from the roof of a negro house and suffered serious injuries, the extent of which will probably not be known for two or three days.
 The physicians attending him have not decided yet whether his skull was frac- tured by the fall and will have to wait to see what symptoms develop.
 The accident happened at a fire on the roof Of negro house on First avenue, between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets, early yesterday The fall was about twelve feet, and MT. Aiken struck squarely on the top of his head, with little, if anything, to break the fall.
 It seems that he was attempting to climb around one of the hremen who was standing at the top of ladder which had been placed against the side of the house. In doing so he lost his balance and fell backward, striking the ground. He was taken to the Hilman hospital in Lige Loys ambulance.
 Among the other cuts and bruises is 0 gash under one eye that practically cut the lower lid out. and about fifteen stitches were required to bring the wound together MT. Aiken was reported to be conscious and resting we'll at the hos pital last night.

 rolled where will they be put? Our pres ent houses are entirely too small Many of them will have to be torn down. What for? Because the followers of the Lord are growing in number, and modern re- quirements must be met. If you have any influence in determining the plans for constructing any church house, throw it all into a complete Sunday school room with separate rooms for every class, even if the main church has to wait.
 Tn some churches every other bench is class, but how great are the possi- bilities where every class can get off to itself and spend the time in actually teaching the Bible.
 Not only will we have fine structures and arrangements, but tomorrow we will have teachers in those houses. Even now we are beginning to stop asking, Will you teach?' and are asking Can you teach" There's a great deal of difference. If five years from now your school reaches the right point you will have gotten corps of trained teachers
 Not long ago I asked a little boy in a Mississippi town, Sonny, what does your superintendent do? The lad replied, He opens and closes Sunday school My friends, if you are going to do your duty you must begin next Sunday to train your pupils and teachers how to teach three years hence
 Do you know why boy will hang by his leg to telephone pole three hours watching a baseball game when he can't sit still in Sunday school fifteen minutes? :? It's because there are nine men on the other side of the fence who are special ists and whom the boy knows will do the best ball playing that he has ever seen. Just so 1t will be with the boy and the Sunday school if the teachers become spe- cialists. The schools must offer them the means whereby they may fit themselves for this great work.
 Have Something to Teach.
 Another thing, they will have some thing to teach. The international les sons for the next six years are the best ever arranged If they are but taught as they should be the young people will learn the Bible.
