O. r.. & N. Is Retrenching.

The switch engine that has been
stationed in this city for some time
past was ordered to La Grande and
left Baker City last night. The
large amount of freight business done
in this city made the need of the en-
CINE imperative, but the company
claims that the amount of traffic to
and from Baker at the present time
will not justify the expense of keep
ing the engine here.
The engine will be at La Grande
for the present and from there will
be transferred to some other city. 1t
is the opinion of those who are fa-
miliar with conditions in Baker that
the engine will be returned here for
work in a few weeks as the large
amount of traffic that originates here
and that comes into Baker cannot be
handled without the engine. The
company is retrenching in many ways
and has laid off two dispatchers at
La Grande. 1t is also said that one
section crew has been laid off until
spring.-Baker City Herald.

PROFITS BY ALAsKA's GOLD.
Seattle Uses Territory's Gold for In
yestment-Gets Big Shipment.

The United States assay office in
Seattle has placed in the channels Of
trade in that city since June l, 1907
$500, 900 in gold eagles and double
eagles, practically $1,OO0,OO0 per
month, says the Seward, Alaska,
Gateway.
During this period of five and one
half months the assay office has re-
ceived $14,9O9,2 ,26S,S9 worth of Alaska
gold. The difference between the
total receipts and the gold coinage
checked out from the banks is rep
resented by drafts given to shippers,
payable at the sub-treasury in New
York. The figures, therefore, show
that in excess of third of the total
gold receipts of the Seattle office has
gone into almost immediate circula-
tion In local channels of trade.
While the figures are not attain
able, 1t is evident that much of the
money paid out In the shape of drafts
on New York is also expended in Sc
attic in property investments, so that
the showing is regarded by those in
a position to judge as indicating the
expenditure of approximately half
the value of the gold received at the
Seattle assay office in the city of Sc
attic.

Tells Flavor With Ewes.

McKeevor, n. Y, boasts a man who
eats with his eyes. Charles f. Dale
hal developed what he calls a "chro-
matte appetite" says an exchange.
Some time ago Mr., Dale, who is past
middle life, had a bad attack of scar
let fever, which destroyed his sense
of taste. For a time he despaired of
ever enjoying again the pleasures of
the table, but eventually he began
to notice that foods of different col
ors produced different sensations. He
takes a bite of food and then gazes
iHiently on what is left on the plat
ter. His theory is that his sense of
taste has somehow been blended with
his sense OF sight. Red being his fa-
vorte color the red foods give him
the keenest pleasure. Therefore, he
always saves these for the last, maxi
ing his dessert either of raw beef,
chopped fine; beets tomatoes or red
berries when in season.

Judge Has Smallpox.

AS was naturally expected, Judge
Messick Is confined to his home with
case of smallpox. For some days
his daughter has had the disease and
utterly disregarding the precautions
he should have taken and regardless
of the safety of these with whom he
came in contact at the court house,
he went in and out of his home with
impunity, as the result of such mex
cusable negligence he might have
spread the contagion throughout the
court house and the jail.
We deplore his sickness and trust
he may early improve, but we are OF
the opinion that the health officer
should be more rigid in enforcing dis
oipline where contagious disease is
prevalent-Baker City Democrat.

HONOR NOT ALL U'REN'S.
Mrs. Waldo Says the Grange Father
ed the Initiative and Referendum.


"At the meeting in Milwaukee Sat-
urday," said Mrs. Clara H. Waldo,
lecturer of the state grange, this
morning, "I sought to caution the
grange against the leadership of Mr..
U'Ren, that was all, says the Oregon
Daily Journal. Many of the measures
advocated by Mr.. U'Ren are good
ones, but we as an organization do
not wish to indorse his principles.
1.-THE primary law is a good en-
actment, but the grange did not in
dorse the measure as Mr.. U'Ren pro-
posed ii and as 1t was adopted. Neith-
er is Mr.. URen the father of the
initiative and referendum, as is often
said Of him. 1t was the grange that
was both its father and mother.
MANY of the laws that are proposed
by this special legislature that works
all the time and overtime are defec-
tive and have to be defended contin-
ually in the supreme court when they
could be enacted as we'll in a proper
way"

Chambers in Horses Dying Out and

ease.
The state livestock sanitary board
which has been in session in Boise,
adjourned Saturday and the mem
bers returned to their homes, after
one of the most important sessions
ever held by that body, says the Po-
catello Tribune.
A review of the health conditions
among horses, cattle and sheep re-
vealed a very satisfactory state Of
affairs. Chambers, the disease among
horses which year ago was the
cause OF much concern to the state
board, is not nearly so prevalent and
the results OF the efforts to stamp
out the contagion have been very
satisfactory in the fight thus far.
Health conditions generally among
stock in Idaho have never been so
satisfactory and in this, together with
the compliment received from the
national livestock bureau when the
quarantine on Idaho sheep was rails
ed the members of the board feel
justly proud.
Bills were allowed and the board
devoted a greater port of the session
to the fight against predatory animals
especially wildcats and coyotes,
and in the adoption Of the bounty ba-
sis 1t is believed a solution has been
reached and will be less expensive
and more effective. The price per
scalp was fixed at 81, when the scalp
is connected with the hide. The scalp
will be cut off and the hide return
ed.

CRTTICIZES THE NAVY.
Elaborate Article by WOuld-be Ma
val Critic i'm Prominent Magazine.

val Critic i'm Prominent Magazine.
The leading article in McClures
this month is an elaborate criticism
Of the American navy by Henry
Reuterdahl, a writer of some note
on naval subjects, says an exchange.
Mr.. Reuterdahl's article is creating
something of a sensation throughout
the country. In brief, he asserts that
our battleships are a lot of tin cans,
so to speak; that the armor belt is
in the wrong place; that the open
shafts to the magazines mean invol-
untary suicide; that the danger from
exploding shells would suggest itself
even to persons who have nothing to
do with the navy; that the insuffi-
cient ammunition hoists are a laugh
ing stock for men who know the
proper thing in sea fighting; that the
poor protection for gun crews is
amazing; that the lack of torpedo
boats and destroyers is glaring
fault in the makeup of our
fighting fleet, and that with all these
to fight against most of the officers
are too old to take command.
He declares that guns are placed
too low; that the effectiveness of our
Of our battleships in a somewhat
heavy sea would be greatly reduced;
that the battle drill in our navy is
obsolete, and that American invent
ors have never had q chance to ap-
ply their genius to the navy.
He says that every criticism he
makes is well known to naval Off
GERS to be just; that the system which
has resulted in a series of gigantic
and costly errors has been condemn
ed by President Roosevelt and many
others.

plentiful in this section of the state,
especially rattlers.
They have largely disappeared,
however. Along the Portneuf river,
especially where the canyon narrows
between the lava hills, snakes are still
abundant. 1t is not impossible that
the Pocatello men may secure piece
of land near here adapted to the cul-
ture of the reptiles, and thus will be
added to southern Idaho another I'M

farm, says the Pocatello Tribune.
This is not joke. Rocky hillside
land is preferred. The snakes will be
raised for their oil skins. Snake oil
has positive medicinal value and it
is used extensively by watchmakers
in their trade. Snake skins are used
in the manufacture OF purses and
curios. Snakes at one time were very

Masonic improvements.

For some time our Masonic
brethern have realized that more
! ground would be necessary in
connection with the Masonic
Cemetery, and have closed a
deal with Mr.. Norm Lilly for
eight acres adjoining them on
the south to be opened for
cemetery purpose at such time as
the nature of the care may de-
maud. They will, as rapidly as
possible, make various imp. owe
ments in the way of tiling, mark
ing and beautifying the ground.
If all CT our citizens who own
lots in the present ground would
make a small donation, these
beautiful grounds could all be
tiled properly then, making it a
very desirables pot sa final rest
ing place for our loved ones when
the struggle of life is over. In
so doing you not only have the
satisfaction of knowing that you
have paid tribute of respect to
the loved and lost. but added to
the beauty of your own home
when you come to lay down to
rest in peace.
They also have under consider
a,ion the idea of new furniture
for their hall, which will add
greatly to the general appearance
OF the interior of their Lodge
I room. By the way we might, in
this connection, commend to our
other lodge brethren as worthy of
emulation the enterprise display
ed by the Masonic Fraternity in
erecting beautiful home of their
own, where they can set down to
rest and refresh themselves with
none to mslest or make afraid
and where the monthly rentals
pass into their own treasury.
