In the corner window at RAIDERS

country. 1t is the property of Frank
Neugebauer, proprietor of the Dime.

was made it cost $4,000 in France and
because of its antiquity the furniture
is now even more valuable.
The set is of the late Louis XIII
style and the bedstead is of mammoth
size and most elaborately hand cary
ed. The same is true of the other
two pieces in the set and Mr.. Neuge-
bauer may be readily believed when
he says that it required the time OF
three men for a year to make the set.
According to Mr. Neugebauer the
furniture set was acquired by his
father so years ago and after he had
held it for a period of so years the
son became the owner. Mr.. Neuge-
bauer himself brought the set from
France to this country.

o'Day and four years by Judge Bro
naugh, the term OF sentence of the
latter not to begin until that impos-
ed by the former has terminated.
In other ways. from legal stand
point, the case was out Of the ordina-
ry. The defendant was charged with
two statutory offenses, being prose-
cuted by Deputy District Attorney H.
b. Adams The first charge was pros
ecuted before Judge o'Day, and went
to the jury about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Before the jury had
brought in its verdict Of guilty, which
was between and 10 minutes later
the defendant was taken into Judge
Rronaugh's department.
The impanneling Of the second jury
began about two minutes before the
verdict was reached by the first and
the process Of securing the second
jury was interrupted long enough to
take Conley back to Judge o'Day's
department and hear himself pro-
nounced guilty. Then the impaneling
OF the second jury was continued and
the case tried and submitted.
This morning the second jury was
instructed and retired to deliberate on
the case. 1t was out of the court room
only Is minutes, returning with a ver-
dict of guilty. The defendant an
nounced that he was ready for SEN
tence.
Judge O'Day was thereupon sum-
moned and took his seat on the bench
beside Judge Bronaugh. As soon as
Judge O'Day had pronounced the SEN

took up the second case and imposed
a similar sentence, specifying that SER
vice should begin when the term of
the former sentence expired. making
the two sentences amount really to
eight years imprisonment Judge
O'Day remained beside Judge Bro
naugh on the bench until the second
sentence had been pronounced.

Yesterday the demonstration train
covered the portion of the county be-
tween Milton and Pendleton and the
meetings were the most successful OF
any along the line. according to those
who were In the party.
On leaving here yesterday mornins
the train ran direct to Milton and
there the train was greeted by what
was perhaps the largest and most ap-
preciative crowd Of the itinerary. At
the conclusion OF the meeting Mrs.
S. s. Shields moved that a vote OF
thanks be rendered the members of
the party and when that had been
carried three rouslng cheers were CIV
en-.
At Weston a crowd OF 325 was out;
at Athena about 175 were present,
while at Adams In the neighborhood
OF 100 attended. In all the stops yes
terday the listeners were almost en-
tirely farmers and they showed by
their attitudes that they are interested
In the' subject.
Aside from the agricultural college
men several of the railroaders. also
spoke yesterday. At Weston and Ad-
ans DR.. X. A. ]. Mckenzie spoke,
while C. F. Van de Water made a
speech at Adams.
Last night the demonstration party
returned TO Pendleton and the spe-
clal cars were taken westward on No.
last night.
For Demonstration Farm.
At the meeting held In the Com
mercial association rooms Wednesday
evening the subject OF an experiment
tai or demononstration farm for this
county was often mentioned by local
people as we'll as by members of the
party.
That such a farm should be estab-
lished at once is strongly urged by
business men for they want to see
the ideas of the agricultural college
men put into practical use.
While here DIR. Withycombe, head
OF the agricultural college party, sug-
gested that Umatilla county people
seek W nave the ltBlSldluTe pass an
act providing for a branch farm here,
the same to be run in connection with
the experimental station at Corvallis.
BY such course the o. A. C. men
would have an opportunity to demon
strate their teachings with practical
illustrations and they would certainly
do their utmost to make the branch
station fulfill its mission.
In his address Wednesday, r. b.
Miller, general freight agent, also in
tmated that the railroad company
might take up the matter of an ex1
perimental farm. So II state aid can
not be secured the o. II. & n. COM
pany may do the work
Others declare II would be entirely
practical for the Commercial asso-
citation, or some other local body, to
take up the matter direct and by
leasing tract of land conduct farm
itself relying upon the crops raised
TO meet the expense of maintaining
the same.

The name of Bingham Springs, the
famous summer resort and sanitarium
80 miles east Of this city in the Blue
mountains, has just been changed to
that of Wenaha Springs by ]. A. Borie
the new proprietor, and hereafter all
the literature and advertising matter
from the springs will bear the name
of Wenaha Springs.
Bingham Springs were named for
DR.. ]. E. Bingham OF Walla Walla,
who located the place and estab- .
lished the resort there and for the
past quarter of century the resort
has been known by that name.
However, desiring to give the place
a name which would have more Of a
local significance and more unique
association, Mr.. Borie has decided to
name the resort Wenaha Springs, to
correspond with the Wenaha reserve
in which the resort is located and by
which the entire blue mountain sec
ton is coming to be known.
Meaning of Wenaha.
wenaha is a Nez Perce word and
means "a place just beyond, over
there, or a little further on" and is
pronounced Wee-nah-hah, with the
accent on the second syllable.
The name was given to Wenaha
river in the Blue mountains by the
Nez Perce Indians, whose home and
summer camping ground from time
immemerial was the Wallowa valley.
While camping in the Wallowa valley
they discovered the beautiful Wenaha
river, and according 10 the Indian GUS
tom gave the river a name cores
ponding to its location, "a place just
over the hill, just beyond. over there"
and so this name clung to the stream
and has been applied by the govern
ment to the forest reserve of the Blue
mountains.
Mr.. Borie's friends in this city are
delighted with the change and believe
that the new name is highly appro-
pirate and will soon become even bet
ter known than that of Bingham
Springs.
The Wenaha forest reserve is well
known and that name is a part of the
government record and it is believed
that the selection of this name for
Bingham Springs will add much to the
interest of the famous resort.
The o. R. & N. company has assur-
ed Mr.. Borie that the name of Bing-
ham Springs station would also be
changedto that of Wenaha If he re.
quests it and it is probable that this
will be done.

1t is hoped to have sufficient teams

1t is now conservatively estimated
that at least 1000 people from Pen
