LEARNING TO FARM IN CANADA
W. II. Mccormack Says Umatilla
Colony Is Prosperlng.

W. II. Mccormack returned home
last evening from Alberta, where he
had been to look after the interests
which he and other members of the
Mccormack family have in that
section He was in Alberta just a
week and during that time was at
Claresholm and Mcleod.
According to Mr.. Mccormack the
weather is now good in Canada and
some fall seeding is being done,
though nearly all of the grain of
that section Is usually spring sown.
As result of this custom the her
vest is very late and this year nine
inch snow fell early in September
before the grain had been threshed.
However the yield this year was a
good one and had II not been for the
snow the growers would have Jared
exceptionally well.
That the Alberta ranchers Will soon
learn to seed in the fall, or else early
enough In the spring so as to have
an early harvest, is believed by Mr..
Mccormack. At the present the
greater portion OF the population is
fresh from the eastern or middle
states and the farmers have not learn
ed how to farm in the northwest.
All of the Umatilla county colony
in Alberta is reported to be prosper

Genoa, Italy, Dec. 7.-Diueseppe
Quattrocchi and wife brutally mur-
dered their landlord A. Bianchi, his
wife, their nursing child and three
older children today, and were them
selves held in front of an electric car
by a maddened mob and ground to
bits before the eyes of hundreds, who
howled as the bodies of the MUIR
derer and murderess fell under the
wheels.
The murder followed a dispute over
rent. The mob caught the couple,
still dripping with blood. forced them
to confess, after which they were put
to death under the trolley to prevent
rescue by the police.
The wife watched her screaming
husband fall under the wheels and
then cody met death herself.
The bodies OF the murderers were
scattered along the tracks for blocks.

CEMENT WALKS AT LA GRANDE
City Putting i'm Many thousand Feet
of Durable Pavements.

Seventeen thousand, one hundred
and forty-nine square feet of cement
Sidewalk has been laid under the
supervision of the city the past few
months, and costing an average of
81 cents per foot to the property
owners of La Grande. This encour-
aging set of figures was compiled last
evening when the street committee
of the city council met with City
Recorder Shook and City Engineer
Pickler, says the La Grande Observ-
er.
Some interesting data is ainounc-
ed as a result of the meeting hast
night. Only in one instance did the
cost reach beyond 81 cents per foot
and that was in that portion con-
structed by the city entirely. Addi-
tional excavation is responsible for
the increased cost in these instances
Many of the property owners were
able TO build their cement walks for
about 20 cents, but the grand average
is 81 cents.
These figures do not represent the
entire sidewalk improvement the city
has seen the past few months. Pri-
vate contractors constructed much
cement walk and it is safe to say that
third more than the figure named
will represent the total number of
feet of cement walk that the city
can boast of.

A movement is now on foot among
business men to go in a large body
to Pilot Rock on the first train of
the regular service on the Pilot Rock
branch which will be opened for
travel on December 16.
The o. r. & N. will provide suffi-
cient coaches for the crowd but no
excursion rate has been announced
as yet, and the regular fare will be
charged unless 1t is decided later to
give reduced rates.
While the time of the departure of
the Pilot Rock train is not definitely
known, II Is believed that II will be
about a. M, returning about 4 p.

SEATTLE WATERS
QUIT THEIR JOBS
HUNGRY RESTAURANT PAT
RONS LIVE ON FRUIT
Inhabitants of Hotel and Restaurants
Get Breakfast in HaphazaTd FASH
ion, But Are In Sorry Plight for
Lunch and Dinner-Cooks in SYM
pathy With Walters, Who Refuse
to Accept Seven Day Schedule.

Seattle, Dec THE inhabitants
of the hotels and those who depend
upon the restaurants of Seattle for
necessary fuel to keep aglow the vital
spark, will live on a diet narrowly
confined between fruit and plain
bread today as a result of the walk
out of the walters.
Every waiter in the Seattle hotels
and restaurants dropped his or her
apron and walked out at I o'clock
this morning on account of the at
tempt of the restaurant keepers to
enforce seven day per week sched-
ule.
Breakfast was struggled through
with in haphazard fashion, but there
is little chance for lunch and dinner
being served.
The cooks will probably walk out
In a sympathy strike If the demands
of the walters are not granted.

BEET CROP HARVESTED.
Amalgamated Sugar Company Closes
Most Successful Season.


At 4:3O this morning the last beet
of the bumper crop grown in this
valley the past season, was cut, and
the Amalgamated Sugar company has
virtually closed the most successful
season of its history, says the La
Grande Observer.
While the last beet has been cut
and is now in the factory, the fires
will remain burning and the intricate
machinery kept revolving for per-
haps three or four days, at least un-
til the factory has been cleaned up.
In these few days the last of the su-
gar output will be completed.
Every Beet Harvested.
Good management andexceptional-
ly favorable weather is responsible
for the success of this years crop.
Every beet in the valley has been
harvested and converted into sugar
Last year, due to early snow and
frost. much of the crop was never
harvested, and the factory was kept
running until well along in January
The end of the beet harvest came
last Wednesday at IL o'clock. In
Sibbelov was preparing for the next
years crop by starting out the plows
years crop by starting out the ploys
that will prepare the 300 acres for
next season. The recent rains have
made plowing possible and If acom-
plete freezeup will stay away a few
days. hundreds Of acres will be turn
ed over this winter.
The average acreage this year has
been considerable higher than any
previous year. The quality, of the
crop was also splendid.

Washington, Dec. Speaker Can
non yesterday received a committee
of the vice presidents Of the rivers
and harbors congress, who presented
resolutions In behalf Of 36 states
urging the American congress "a
adopt at its present session a plan
for the improvement within the next
10 years all the meritorious and de-
serving waterways In the union which
have been approved by the engineer
Ing department of the army or-may
be approved"
In reply Speaker Cannon said: 81
have no doubt that in the years to
come congress will make progress
along the lines already laid down and
so successfully carried out in the
development and improvement Of the
country's harbors and rivers.
"There is now in the United States
treasury available in large part oI
in whole. for these purposes a sur
plus OF s240, ,000,0 900 and we have
also the income revenues that will
take care OF substantially, II not In
its entirety, every public service
which grows by leaps and bounds
That surplus is more than possibly
could be expended dring the lifetime
OF the present congress in carrying
out these works.
"Our wonderful growth in popu'
lation, In wealth, In development oi
esources-producing as we do one
third Of the whole worlds products
of the mines, the fields and the fac.
tories, compel us to make all neces.
sary Improvements of our waterways
and our harbors, to the end that we
may produce economically and for
extending commerce.
These improvements and develop
ments I say, are so necessary that
the members of succeeding congress-
es will be compelled in their day 10
recognize them for the sake of the
public service"

today and says that he still has a
number of trees full of fine apples
which he will gather yet. The quail
ity of apples grown on the river west
OF Pendleton this year has been ex-
cellent and Mr.. Steele believes that
If proper spraying was done and the
trees carefully watched and culti-
waited that as good apples could be
grown in that district as at Hood

SKIDMORE WAS BUSY.
Operations Of the Show Case Fraud
Not Confined TO Eastern Oregon.

The following from the Spokane
Chronicle concerning the operations
of Skidmore, the show case fraud
now in the county Jail in this city,
for defrauding Pendleton merchants
taking orders for show cases and ap-
propriating the money advanced by
them, shows that his operations were
not confined to Oregon alone. The
Chronicle says:
Chief of Police Rice has received
word from Sheriff T. d. Taylor of
Pendleton that +. S. Skidmore is
under arrest at Huntington on a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The sheriff writes
that the man had papers to show
that he had operated in practically
every town of any size in eastern
Washington, and asked whether he
was wanted here.
Skidmore turned several tricks
here, according to Chief Rice, and a
warrant was to have been sworn out
for his arrest. In view of the fact
that he is now under arrest no at
tempt will be made to bring him tC
Spokane for trial, but if it develops
that he may escape in Oregon the
warrant may be secured and he will
be brought here for trial.

General Bonaparte today denied that
he had ever issued a statement to
the effect that as he believed Dis
trict Attorney Bristol had been pro-
fessionally connected with some land
fraud defendants, he would appoint
special prosecutor.
This statement was published last
evening in the Portland papers.
Bonaparte said today: There is no
authority for that statement" when
shown the Portland dispatch.
This is taken to mean that Bona
parte will not appoint a special pros
ecutor to handle the Oregon land
frauds,

wings of the angel of death over the
little coal mining village. Monongah
is today dumbly counting its dead.
Tomorrow or the next day the
numbed nerves may again perform

the survivors may writhe in grim
agony and grief, but today there is
no sorrow-only dull interest that
lights up eyes of mothers, wives and
brothers as each limp and blackened
form is tenderly passed up from out
Of the hell pit, where in one brief
moment 400 lives were snuffed out
as a candle light in a gale.
Even nature seems to dumbly feel
the horror of the day and the sun
has hid its face behind loaded clouds

work.
There is no home in the village
that is not stricken. Each one will
harbor a dark coffin II not several

cuers are just getting to work as
gasses have delayed them.
It was established today that at
least 425 men were in the mines at the
time of the explosion.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-07

A special from st. Louis to the
East Oregonian today says that DR..
John G.. NJ. Luttenberger Of this
city, who is also a minister, has just
been made defendant in a suit for
divorce filed by Henrietta Lutten-
berger in st. Louis.
The complaint filed by Mrs. Lut-
tenberger makes no sensational al
legations, but simply states that a
divorce is desired because DR.. Lut-
tenberger and herself have long dis
agreed and that the doctor is now
a resident of Oregon with no inten-
ton of returning to his st. Louis
home.
Before coming west DR.. Lutten-
berger was a lecturer on happy
household life and economical living,
but Mrs. Luttenberger in her COM
plant alleges that he could not prac-
tice the precepts he preached and
that he had no idea of the cost OF
maintaining a home in the West End
society section of st. Louis where
they resided.
DR.. Luttenberger came to Pendle-
ton several months ago and has fit
ted up a suite Of offices IN - the
Schmidt building, where he Is en-
joying a good practice. BY his ge-
NAL disposition and advanced ideas
on the study and practice of his pro-
fession he has become well known
during his brief stay here.
Mrs, Luttenberger in her COM
plant alleges that she paid the ex-
penses of her husbands education
and that after his graduation from
medical college that she also sent
him to Europe to give him the bene-
fit of European travel and polish.
That DR.. Luttenberger largely bene-
fitted by his trip to Europe is shown
by his knowledge Of all the latest
methods employed in the medical
profession in the leading cities Of
Europe.
DR.. Luttenberger Replies.
DR.. Luttenberger said to the East
Oregonian today that while he re-
GREETED the action of his wife in
asking for a divorce, yet if she de-
sired 1t he would not oppose her. He
denies that she paid for his educa-
ton or that she sent him, on her own
expense, to Europe. He says he paid
his own way, exclusively, on money
earned by his lecturing.
He gives as the true reason for
her asking for divorce that another
man has come between them. This
he alleges became known to him af-
ter his return from Europe and that
although they lived together peace
ably after his return that his home
had never seemed the same since his
discovery of the unpleasant facts.
DR.. Luttenberger says that he has
large property in his own right and
that he has not signed ii over to her
and that he will not do so. His wife
also has large property to which he
lays no claim.
Until few days ago he expected
his wife to join him here and had
made partial arrangements to pre-
pare a home here, but was surprised
a few days ago to receive a letter de-
claring her intention to be divorced.
They have no children of their own
although they have raised an orphan
girl to womanhood. Mrs. Lutten-
berger is A years of age and has
been an invalid large part of her
life.
