MOTHER FINDS LONG LOST SON
They Lived Only Is Miles Apart for
Many Years.

Thirty years ago 16-year-old boy
left his home in Washington, Iowa, to
seek his fortune in the west. For
thirty years the mother of that boy
looked in vain for tidings from her
lost son, but at last her patient longing
has been awarded. That boy is now
Archie McAvoy, of Albion, WASH,
we'll known and highly respected, and
the mother and sister of Mr.. McAvoy
are now residents of Colfax, Wash.
Neither had heard word from the
other for thirty years until this week,
when by chance the mother learned of
the name and at once telephoned him
to find if he might be her long miss
ing son.
They have not yet met. as Mr.. Nc
Avoy finds it impossible to get away
from friend near his farm home who
has the smallpox and requires his at
tention, but he will soon find orpor-
tunity to go and see his mother and
sister. But fifteen miles have been
between mother and son since the
former has been a resident of Colfax.

SIDEWALKS
Lumber Material Is Used In Con-
struction, In Violation of Ordi-
nance Specifying Concrete.

Considerable interest was manifested
in the laying of sidewalk ON the
Gillis property at the corner of Main
and Fourth streets, Tuesday.
An ordinance, passed by the common
council some time ago, provides that
reconstruction of walks in the business
district on Main street must be made
of cement, although permits have
been given from time to time for the
replacement of worn out surface boards
with new lumber.
It is understood that Mr.. Gillis was
Civ en- permission to lay new surface
boards on the walk, out before the
boards were placed, new stills through
out were put in place of the old ones,
which had been taken out. Mayor
Plamondon brought the matter to the
attention of the councilmen. The
sidewalk was finally completed with
the substitution of old stills for new
under perhaps one third of the struc.
ture, new silis remaining under the
balance.
The walk in question is practically
new one, and is in direct viola
tion of the ordinance specifying that
cement must be the material used in
construction.
Now that a precedent has been es-
tablished, it is said that other property
owners on the street will make appli-
cation for permission to replace dilap-
idated walks with new ones of lumber.

REMARKABLE, HORSE zOLOCK
Famous PAGER, With Record of 2:05 IA,
Working at WalIa WalIa.

An equine aristocrat that deservedly
wears the houors of being the greatest
racing horse on the coast arrived at
the fair grounds yesterday where he
will be given bis annual spring train
ing for the racing season, says the
Walla Walla Union. Zolock, the
name of the champion, with a race
record of 2:05 IA, is conceded by
hoIsemen to be the most marvellous
racing machine in the horse world In
the west; and his coming to the local
track is tribute to it's excellence.
An interesting incident in the rae
ing career of the great PAGER, and
which at the same time illustrates his
remarkable vital individuality as a
sire, occurred at the race course at
Pheonix, Arizona, when Zolock. COM
peting against his famous colt. By
stander with record of 1907 1-2, was
forced to equal bis track record to win

the race. The game colt had been
showing strongly, and heavy bet was
made that the colt could WIN from his
sire The race. which is famous in
the racing annals of the west, was
neck to neck during the first half, the
time being one minute fiat. The colt
in the stretch enabling Zolook to win
by equalling his best record. Zolock
has never raced against bis fastest
colt, Sherlock Holmes who has rec
ord of 2:06 IA. On the same date
that Zolock won a 81. 900 purse in CAL
ifornia, another Of his colts R. Am

Roads Will Not Connect.

According to letter received Ly the
district attorney from Manager J. P.
O'Brien of the o. r. g N. that CON-
pany will not take steps to connect its
line with the Northern Pacific at Pen
dleton, and it is presumed that the
company's decision applies to connec-
tions at Athena as well. The reason
given for declining to make the con-
neotion is that the traffic department
alleges that the only use such connec-
tion would be put to would be the
transfer Of an occasional Car load of
wood. Also that the double local rate
which the consumer would be compel
led to pay would make the price Of
wood secured in this way prohibitive.

BUY SACKS
Inland Grain Growers Association
Select 400, 900 of the s.Made
In Oregon" Kind.

The purchase of 400, 900 grain sacks
Saturday by the Inland Grain Growers
association of the Ames Harris Neville
Co., is a victory for Oregon manufac-
tured bags as against the Calcutta bag
manufactured with the cheap foreign
labor, says the Tribune. When it
was put to vote yesterday at the
meeting of the farmers all but three of
the votes cast were in favor of the
black stripe bag. which is manufac-
tured in Portland.
p. W. Lewis, the representative of
this company who was present at the
meeting was particularly gratified
with the result as he has been endeav-
oring for several months to convince
the farmers of this county as we'll as
others in this state and Washington,
Of the superior quality of the Oregon
product.
The farmers are also enabled to
make saving. as according to the bid
presented by Mr.. Lewis, the bags are
to be laid down In Pendlston in car
load lots at $7.15 or f. o. b. Portland
at $6. 70 1-2. The same oompany's bid
on Calcutta bags was $685. per hun
dred.
The bidding was all close and the
awards made after the farmers had
taken vote on it.
The other bids were as follows: s.
Koshland & Co., 81 f. o. b. Portland.
Kerr Clifford & Co., $7.25 delivered
at the stations in this county; So. rs t.
o. E. Portland.
Interior Warehouse company, 81 3-8
delivered at the stations. This com
pany also offered to furnish twine at
81 Ia cents per pound.
The twine was purchased, however.
of the Ames Harris Neville Co., 35
cent grade being selected.
The sacks are to be delivered during
July at the option of the buyers in car
load lots.

Hard Examination.

Only 15 of the 26 applicants for
county papers came off victorious, two
became discouraged before the exami-
nations were completed and went home
aud nine failed. This is the largest
percentage of failures the county has
ever had and Superintendent Welles
attributes the fact to the extraordinary
bard and long question lists in each
branch. 1t is not known how great
the percentage of failures was in the
state examinations as the manuscripts
OF these will be sent to the state board
for grading.

TO SHOOT At YANKEE TARS
Navy Department Calls for VOlun-
teers to Face Shells.

The navy department has under
consideration probably the most start
ling test of the penetrating power of
SHELLS, danger to life and the resisting
power of armor that ever has been
tried in any Of the Worlds navies.
The proposition is to have the monitor
Arkansas, now being prepared for the
test, fire 12-inoh shell, weighing $50
pounds, from cotton gun a distance
of two miles and have it strike the
tulret of the Arkansas sister ship. the
Florida, which is being placed in
readiness for the trial.
The astounding part of the test is
the proposition to have in the turret
Of the Florida at the time of the i'm
pact turret complement of IL men.
The question of having crew in the
turret was discussed at length in the
navy department today. All paper
figures, all statistics SO far as the
weight of metal thrown, heat generat-
ed by impact, resisting power of armor
and other details would indicate that
the men in the turret would come out
unsoratched except for a shock. OF
course, there is no record in existence
of monitor. the turret protected by
11-inch belts. being struck plump by
12-inch shell of $50 pounds weight.
All figures are purely theoretical. but
the belief is that volunteer crew can
be secured to remain in the turret at
the time Of impact.
OF course, the possibility of missing
is infinitely small. All shots are now
fired from geometrical deduction
and with machine precision. The shell
will doubtless land just where aimed
for--and then if the theory of the navy
experts holds good, it will be DETECTED
and the turret left uninjured.
Admiral Mason, chief of the bureau
of ordnance and Lieutenant Command
er Fellers discussed the matter at
length today. The first plan was to
place ~ dogs or pigs in the turret and
see the effect upon them. but the prop
osition of volunteer crew Is now un-
der advisement.
The Arkansas is in Norfolk, and the
Florida near by.
Naval attaches from all parts of the
world have heard Of this test, and are
anxiously scrambling for an opportun-
ity to witness it. but the department
has declined all applications; in fact
it is said that the test will be made far
out at sea so that observations and de-
ductions by foreign powers cannot be
made.
