TESTING CONDEMNED TIMBERs.
Government Will Find Real, Not AS
sumed Weakness.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The forest
service laboratory at Eugene, Ore, is
preparing to test the strength of tim
bers which have been removed from
the bridges of western railroad,
and discarded after several years of
use.
1t is a practice with some rail-
road companies to remove bridge
stringers that have been in service a
certain length of time, upon the as
sumption that they have deteriorated
in strength to such a degree as to be
unsafe.
The substitution of knowledge for
haphazard guesses is one of the OBJ
jects held steadily in view by the
forest service In it's timber tests. 1t
ascertains the actual strength of diff
ferent woods, not the supposed
strength.
Beams will be broken under loads
applied by powerful machines, and
the weights which they might have
carried with safety will be ascertain
ed. The knowledge thus made avail
able will be of value to many users
of heavy timbers.

ing the committee was notified that
Superintendent Walsh AT Walla Wal
la had refused to provide the train,
saying insufficient notice had been
given, But as the committee had ask
ed for the train at the hour designat-
ed by the railroad people themselves,
this excuse is declared to be without
proper weight.
"All the way through, their course
has been unfair towards us, and It
looks like they refused us a train
through being mad because Pendle-
ton complained OF the poor train SER
vice to Portland" said President Ra-
der this forenoon. "When we first
asked for a train a guarantee of only
SO passengers was asked for. These
were secured and the company then
insisted upon 100 passengers at $3.50
each. The night before last they
were willing to run the train only
one way for that price, though they
finally agreed to make the return
trip. For the past several years the
O. R. & N. company has been run
ming special trains to walla walla
from Pendleton and have been re-
quiring guarantee of but 100 pas
sengers at 81 for the round trip.
Since this is true, I fail to see why
they should have charged $3.50 for
the trip to Freewater and return
even had they run the special as they
agreed to do but did not"

DIR. CRAWFORD REACHES HOME.
And With Him Pendleton Friend Of
His BoyhOad,

From the Ensign Of Fowler, Fresno
personal mention:
While DR.. Crawford was in Pendle-
ton, Oregon, he had the pleasure of
meeting an old friend from Pennsyl-
vania in the person of Rev. r. ]. Div
en- with whom he had passed many
happy hours in the long ago in the
boyhood home back in the old Quak-
er state. The doctor told his friend
so many stories of the wonders of
California that he finally concluded to
pay the state a visit and arrived here
with the doctor last Saturday even
ing, and is at present enjoying the
hospitality of his medical friend and
viewing a land that to him is a reve-
lation.
Rev. Mr.. Diven says he had heard
much of California, but 1t required
the eye to see what the ear had
heard before a full realization of the
wonderful soil and climate could be
obtained. He says the warm climate
of Fresno county is a fine place to

recommend the remedy hereafter
when he hears any of his "webfeetf
friends complaining of the providence
of their Creator.
The position held by Mr.. Diven is
novel one, and may be Of interest
to the Californian of the present day
and will remind the pioneer OF the
days of 40. While he makes his
headquarters at Pendleton he holds
a missionary position and travels on
horseback into the wilds of Oregon,
carrying the message of our Savior to
the cowboys, Indians and other resi-
dents of the thinly settled sections.
DR.. Crawford informs us that his
friend carries the gospel to the heath
en- with a bible in one hand and a
sixshooter in the other, and has had
wonderful success in awakening the
sleeping consciences of sinners to the
glories of Christianity and the peace
and Joy that blesses those who fol-
low in the footsteps of the Divine
Master.
Rev. Mr.. Diven will return to his
northern mission In a few days and
Will have many pleasing remem-
grances of his visit to California and

TRAINLOAD OF SILK.
Nine Carloads Valued at 100000
Each Over the Union Pacific.

The trainload of silk which whirled
through Cheyenne this week on the
Union Pacific and Northwestern
trains reached New York In nine
days from the time 1t left San Fran
cisco, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
Each carload was worth about
100000, making the five worth ap-
proximately 100000. The silk came
from the far east and was destined
for Europe. Naturally on account of
its great value, 1t was well guarded
and brought forward with the great
est possible speed.
The time In transit from coast to
Chicago was six days, and from Chi
cago this consignment was carried to
New York over the lines of the
Pennsylvania in so hours.
This was not uncommon-a like
swift movement of eastern silk hap
pens every little while. 1t illustrates
the state of development to which the
handling of preference freight, as 1t is
called, has been brought by the rail-
roads.

THIRTY-oNE ON JURY PANEL.
One Is Exempt and Twenty Nine Are
Farmers.

This morning the jury list for the
coming session of circuit court was
drawn and 81 men have been select
ed to TRIP the criminal cases set for
that time. AS there are now three
murder cases awaiting trial, besides
many other criminal cases of a less
serious nature, 1t is probable that
several additional venires will be ne
cessary in order to secure enough
jurors for the trial of the cases.
OF those drawn for jury duty in
September all are farmers excepting
E. ]. Murphy and J. S. Mcleod of
this city. AS Mr.. Murphy is an old
fireman and so exempt from jury

Wants Western SONGS.

The East Oregonian is in receipt
of letter from John A. Lomax, of
Harvard university, now at Austin,
Texas, requesting copies Of all the
range and pioneer songs and ballads
that it is possible to send. Harvard
is making a collection of these songs
and Mr.. Lomax desires to secure
copies of as many as possible. Here
is an opportunity for Oregon cowboys
to write out their songs and have
them preserved in the archives of
the big university to become part of
the literature and music of the ma
ton.

CAMPING AT THE STATE FAIR.
"Camp City" Laid Out and Has 1900
Tent Homes Within II.

One of the pleasant features of the
Oregon state fair has always been the
camping life in the oak grove just
outside the fair grounds. The number
of campers annually would form
good-sized community. . The tented
city is marked off into streets, and
lots, which are furnished free of
charge, must be reserved before the
fair.
Albert Tozier, the "mayor" of the
tented city, who has superintended
this department for many years, has
recently returned from an eastern
trip, and is making arrangements
with prospective campers now. He
stated that five hundred camping sites
had been already spoken for. AS
there are accommodation for only L.
200 tents, all persons intending to
take this delightful outing should ap-
ply to Mr.. Tozier at once for space.
All the sites along the two main
"streets" are already taken, and little
signs, announcing that "this place is
reserved by Mr.-," are seen
nailed to almost every tree.
There is an abundance of good wa
ter on the grounds, and grocery
store close at hand. Wagons from the
Salem dealers also visit the grounds
daily. There are enough stalls for
the horses, although this year Mr..
Tozier says that one stall must be
made to serve for two animals in or
der to accommodate everybody. Mr.
Tozier also notifies the campers that
they will have to buy fire wood this
year. There will be persons on the
! grounds with wood for sale.

PAYMENTS TO INDIANS.
$4,000 Will Be Disbursed on Sep
tember 2.


In the vicinity of $4,000 is to be
paid to the Indians of the reservation
in the near future by A. E. McFat-
ridge, agent. This afternoon Mr.. Nc
Partridge was in the city and to the
East Oregonian he stated that pay
ments to the Indians will commence
Monday. The payment will be by
check and will be made as rapidly as
possible. -.t
The money to be paid the Indians
Is that which has been paid in at the
agency office by the white renters of
Indian lands Much OF the money
has been collected during the time
Mr. McFatridge has been here. Alto
gether, he estimates that there is
about s55, 900 of indian money under
his control. However, it will be i'm
possible to pay this all out at this
time, though Mr.. McFatridge antici-
pates that the payment will not be
less than $4,000, and may run as
high as $4,000.
