NOT THE FIRST
DRY SEASON
PILOT ROCK PIONEER
RECALLS EARLY DAYS
j. NJ. Hemphill Says He Had Three
Failures In the Late "Slxties''-Dls-
couaging Experience-Rain In
creased and Total Failure Has Been
Unknown Since,

"This is not the first dry year ex-
perienced in Umatilla county" said
j. NJ. Hemphill, the Pilot Rock pio-
neer to the East Oregonian today
Back about 1868 we had three years
in succession in which | did not cut
bushel of wheat although l sowed
moderately large crops every year.
II was the most discouraging expert
ence | ever had. l was a new set
tier and naturally was not flush
with money and the failure of my
three crops in succession was a most
trying experience.
But rain gradually increased in
this section and crops began to yield
better and from that time until now
we have enjoyed moderately good
crops in all parts of the county.
THE drought of those three years
was not confined to Pilot Rock nor
to Umatilla county, but it was gen.
eral all over eastern Oregon and set
tiers suffered everywhere. Many
crops in all parts of this and adjoin-
ing counties were not cut at all. The
wheat came up in the early spring
but it simply burnt off at the ground,
In many sections portions of the crops
were cut but the bulk of the crop was
a failure for thre years in succession" 4"

Benjamin Franklin's Object Lesson t.
Influential Supporters.

When Franklin was publishing q
small newspaper in Philadelphia, SO
the story runs, he incurred the dis
pleasure of some of his influential
supporters through the independence
of his utterances in the paper. The
result was that these supporters talk
ed of Withdrawing their advertise
ments and subscriptions. This
reached the ears of Franklin, who
thereupon gave the dinner in question
inviting those who were grumbling
because Of his newspaper course.
The guests were surprised when
they saw the meager preparations he
had made and wondered whether the
pretended banquet was meant as an
insult or whether there was a real
banquet to come later, after Franklin
had concluded his joke. Franklin.
however, ate heartily of the pudding
and drank as heartily Of the water.
much to the astonishment OF the
company.
When 1t came time for him to
speak he told his guests that, having
been made aware OF their grumbllng
and OF the threat to withdraw their
support, he had given the dinner for
the purpose of showing them upon
what kind OF fare he could live day
in and day out and week in and

clusion, "a man who can do that
ought to be independent" 1t is said

MATERIAL FOR o. r. & N.
Work on WallOwa Extension Is Being
Rushed.

Conductor H. C. Grady left La
Grande yesterday with a trainload
Of material for the Wallowa extern
sion, says the La Grande Star. The
train consisted of 16 cars OF rails and
ties. The rails were a nice lot and
are Of the class known as "60-pound
Steel" which means that the road to
Wallowa will be well equipped in the
way of trackage and will be of char
acter that will permit of heavy traf-

Track laying in the Wallowa can
yon will not proceed very rapidly un-
til the material yards near the cross
ing of the Grande Ronde are put in
shape. There are two long sidlngs
to be put in and. large amount Of
other work to be done.
This will keep a portion of the
construction force busy for few
days. 1t is estimated that 1t will be
another week before track laying up

good headway.

Charlotte Observer Establishes
Charges OF immortality Against
Preacher.
The jury in the superior court
which has been sitting in the case OF
C. NJ. Billings, a preacher, against the
Charlotte IN. c. Observer rendered
a verdict to the effect that the
charges of immortality preferred
against the preacher by the newspa-
per while the former was a resident
OF Blackville, S. c., were true and the
suit for damages would not lie. The
reference in the newspapers article
to similar conduct at Waynesville. N.
c., was deemed untrue, and the jury
awarded the plaintiff damages in the
sum OF $4,000.
Judge Ward promptly set that part
of the verdict aside, granting a new
trial. The verdict means that the
Observer has won a great victory, for
1t is quite certain that the matter will
never come to trial again. The ac-
tion for libed was based on a story

There are no dead horses in the

fastened with a paddock. Consequent

have difficulty in falling into the res

But during the past few days a per-
sistent rumor has been afloat to the
effect that a horse had been found in
the city water supply. Though the
story was absolutely without founda-
ton it has been passed from mouth to
mouth and has been told with varia-

has been in the age of the horse. Yes

Worrying About PendIeton.

Pendleton seems to be up against a
hard proposition for a legal modus
operandi by which the sheriff can
dispose Of the liquor OF the bankrupt
stock OF booze in that city, since the
prohibition law has gone into effect,
says the Hood River Newsletter.
The officers must take out a liquor
license before they can sell the red
water, and even after he should get
this, 1t would be necessary for each
purchaser to get a physicians pre-
scription before he could possess the
cleaning goods.

dustry in This County.
That the raising Of chickens by in
cubator methods has good possibilities
in this section is fully shown by the
record made by Godfrey Neuman dur
ing the last spring. Mr.. Neuman has
several incubators on his ranch in
Spring hollow and during the spring
made quite a business OF Matching
out chickens for his neighbors at Sc
much per chick. During the season
he hatched a total of 1900 chickens
and by doing so made money for him
self and at the same time saved his
neighbors much trouble.
Though he has never made any ef-
fort to secure business, Mr.. Neuman
had about all he could handle last
spring and he believes that the eco
nomical way for people to raise
chickens is to have their eggs Matched
out at an incubator ranch"
