Mr.. Cusick is making a trip from
the state line north of Milton, due
south to the John Day river, gather
ing new botanical specimens and max
ing note of the botanical curiosities
and characteristics Of this vast dis
trict
Every year Mr.. Cusick locates some
entirely new specimen of flower or
plant in eastern oregon and is now
largely engaged in classifying eastern
Oregon plants and wild flowers as to
locality. He is making notes OF
places where sunflower is found,
where larkspur. blue bells, lupines
and all other varieties of flowers and
plants are indigenous and this locali-

A number of rare plants have been
located in the Blue mountains by Mr..

er and prospector for new varieties.
He takes a keen delight in his work
and has collected many thousand spe-
cimens which are now to be found in

In order to prevent the running Of

This organization has raised a fund

last winter in the Y. NJ. C. A. course
of attractions, and also recognized
throughout the world as one OF the
greatest band leaders and composers

His son, Frank Hruby, jr., was In

that his father intended coming west
to make his home. 1t is stated an ef-

famous band leader to come to this
city to take charge OF the band here,
as It is underst ood he would be will

CEMETERY WILL
RECEIVE WATER
NEW SYSTEM WILL HAVE
PUMP OF IT'S OWN
Present Equipment OF City System
Sufficient to Keep New Reservoir
Full During Winter MOnths-Com-
munication Looked Upon as At
tempt to Cripple Councils Plans.

The communication Of the North
western Gas & Electric company to
the water commission and by that
body forwarded to the council last
evening, is looked upon by members
of the council and others as an un-
called for attempt at this late day to
block the councils plans for placing
water on olney cemetery.
The company's letter suggested
that to supply the water for the
cemetery system would require the
expenditure OF $500 for the install
lation of new machinery at the pump
ing plant.
According to member of tho
cemetery of the council this morn
ing. no plans were ever made which
would necessitate any more pumping
than the city is now paying for. Be-
fore the present plans and specifica-
tions were adopted, verbal arrange
ments were made with members of
the water commission whereby It was
agreed that any overflow water which
the city might have should be used in
filling up the cemetery reservoir un-
I'll such a time as the separate pump
ing plant can be established.
Under present arrangements the
cemetery system will not be ready for
water before the middle OF Septem-
ber and 1t is pointed out that the
present city system Is amply suffi-
cient to keep the cemetery reservoir
filled during the winter months. This
will be all that will be necessary, as
the other pumping plant will be es-
tablished and in working order be-
fore the next dry season begins.
1t is openly charged that persons
who are "sore" because the county
has gone dry are trying to kill the
cemetery system and II they can make
1t appear that the councils plans for
watering the cemetery are not fea-
sible they will make II. hard for the
council to collect a large number OF
the subscriptions which were made
on the condition that feasible plan
would be adopted
If such was the purpose 1t has been
fruitless, however, for members OF
the council declare they will not be
buffaloed and that the original plans
will be followed out and the ceme-
terry beautified, regardless.
Much business ofa routine nature
but of little interest TO the public was
transacted last evening.

A Remarkable Wager.

A rather remarkable wager
has just been paid. A couple Of
Albany men wagered $3.50 on
the result of local option, the
temperance man at the tune
making the statement that if he
won, the money would be turned
over to the Good Citizens League
for the prosecution of blind pigs.
This has been done and the
money is said to be in the hands
of the officers of the League.
When the wager was made an
other wager was offered by the
liquor man that the local
option man had made a mistake
and $5 more was put up. This
money was to go for ice-cream
1t has been placed in the hands
of the Elite, and Saturday after
noon at 2 o'clock voters have
been invited, wet and dry, to
call at the Elite and have some

I. Great care should be taken by the
gardener with his lawn. 1t is the can
vas upon which he will paint his flow
er bed pictures and landscape effects.
To be successful he must prepare his
canvas well.
The first thing is to grade the
ground, smoothing rough surfaces,
making proper level stretches and gen.
tie slopes. II possible, the lawn should
slope from the house. The grading
should be done SO as to distribute
evenly all surface water, avoiding the
formation of little runs which might
produce washouts.
The soil should be enriched with
liberal supply of well rotted manure.
This is essential where the soil is lack
ing in humus; otherwise bone meal or
other good fertilizer is useful, and ma
nure often contains the seed OF weeds.
The ground should be plowed or spad-
ed not less than eight inches deep. re-
moving all the stones and similar ma
terial, and the surface made as smooth
as possible Then it is ready for SOW
ing
One of the best mixtures for the
lawn is four parts Kentucky blue grass
with one part of white clover, soWn
not less than five bushels to the acre.
Equally good results are usually OBJ
tanned by the use of redtop in place
| of the blue grass or with equal parts
of redtop and blue grass and little
white clover. When moisture is pien-
tiful the blue grass forms softer turf
than the redtop, but does not seem to
endure drought so well. In shady
places the blue grass mixture is best
Nothing but pure seed should be sown.
| 1t is well to be liberal with the seed,
not to scatter it too thinly and to re-
seed portions that come up poorly.

Most young women, it would seem to
the visitor at Yale university these
days, fall under one of these three
classifications. "Glory,'' "gloom" and
ssbaH of fire. are the very latest words
in the Yale mans up to date vocabu-
larry. Just who invented them no one
knows But their meaning is clearly
defined and well understood. and their
use around New Haven is well nigh
universal.
If you are a very attractive young
person, you're a glory.
II you are not attractive at all, If you
are rather tactless and i'll tempered
and self conscious and disagreeable.
then, most unfortunately, you are a
gloom.
II you are utterly and irresistibly fas-

sweet, you are a ball of fire.

An Intrepid Woman Explorer With
South America as Her Field.
There are few men explorers who
are able to relate more varied and in
teresting tales of travel than Mrs. Har-
riet Chalmers Adams, native OF
California, who returned to the United
States recently after a three years
Journey through the uncivilized por-
lions of Latin America. And not many
could tell of the experiences in so un-
affected and entertaining a manner as
Mrs. Adams, who is now giving In
various cities Illustrated lectures on
South America, Panama and the West
Indies. Her favorite subject is Peru,
and in describing the scenery and Gus
toms of this marvellous country she
uses series of pictures, some being
natural colored photographs showing
the ruins from the time of the Incas
and present day conditions.
A trip to Mexico aroused Mrs.
Adams enthusiasm for the south, and
when her husbands business required
him to make the three years expedi-
ton she insisted on accompanying him.
They went by way of Central America
and Panama, down through Ecuador
and Peru and across the Andes to the
headwaters of the Amazon. Then by
winding route through other coun-
