EngInemcn After More Money.

Enginemen On the Hartman lines
OF the northwest are said to bo
awaiting with considerable concern
the outcome of a meeting to be held
by the management of the various
roads In the system at San Francisco
next week, says the Spokane Chron-
icle.
General Superintendent NJ. J..
Buckley OF the Hartman Oregon lines
will be present at the conference,
which has as its object the definite
announcement of an increase In
wages of the engineers and flremen,
says a Portland report. The matter
came up late last year, at a meeting
at which there were present general
representatives Of all lines west Of
Chicago, and at that time 1t was de-
cided that the enginemen were en-
titled to more pay. but the exact
amount and other details were not
fixed upon. other meetings have
been held since then and the time
now seems ripe for the reward the
men have been waiting for so long.

sonally to supervise the work. The

WILL START ALCOHOL PLANT.
Men Near Pullman Have Plans
Under Way TO Manufacture Dena-
turizcd Product.

A news item from Pullman says of
the proposition to start denaturized
alcohol plant by the farmers near
that place:
Active work toward securing a de-
natured alcohol plant for Pullman
has been started. An informal meet
ing of those interested was held here,
and the movement. which 1t Is hoped
will result in a dlstillery here, was
lnaugurated. C. B. Kegley master
OF the state grange. who has probably
done more than any individual in the
state to secure action on this matter,
was present and laid before those
interested the facts he has gathered
on the subject in an extensive tour
of the east.
1t Is the intention to start with q
distillery having a capacity OF 1OO
gallons a day. and to increase the
output as necessity demands. This
Will require small capital, and Will
give those interested an opportunity
to experiment with little danger OF
loss until they master the details OF
the business, The plan Is to get as
many farmers as possible interested
In It's success, and will work with
the management to that end. A
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-18

Pullman property owner, when ap-
preached on the subject, offered to
guarantee half OF the capital neces-
sary, and this is thought sufficient
encouragement to insure the estab-
lishment of the plant. 1t is not de-
sired to allow any one person to have
a large block of stock II large num-
ber can be interested. so that as many
as possible will have a financial In
terest in the success Of the under
taking. Another meeting will be held
soon and stock subscriptions asked
for at that time.

QUARANTINE INDIANS.
Columbia River Indians Quarantined
for Smallpox.

Sheriff E. NJ. Shut and Dr. F. B.
Klstner went to Castle Rock last
Thursday to vaccinate and quarantine
a band of Columbia river Indians,
who were reported by the state board
of health to be suffering with small
pox, says the Heppner Times.
The instructions to the county
health officer was to Investigate and
ascertain IL they had smallpox, and
IL so to vaccinate all Indians so af-
fected and to quarantine all who had
been exposed.
The officers found that there were
about 25 suffering with the disease
and they were accordingly vaccinated
and the band quarantined.
The officers report that the Indians
submitted readily to the treatment,
giving them no trouble whatever:
neither did they object to being quar-
antined. so the officers were given
little trouble in carrying out the in
structions of the state board OF
health.

Heppner Times Makes Progress.

Although we have been delayed a
couple of weeks beyond our expecta-
tion the Times typesetting machine
is at last set up In the shop and is
now in use, says the Heppner Times.
In fact the most of this issue was set
on the machine, and we expect soon
to make some improvements In the
news service Of the Times. We had
expected to inaugurate this service
some time ago, but the delay in ship
ping and another delay In getting the
machine set up has delayed matters
in the office about a month. How
ever, we will get Strengthened out af-
ter time and then try to make good.

WILL ORCHARD GO FREEq
Meyer Thinks lie VIII Never BE
Hung.

Hung.
A special to the Boise Statesman
from Spokane says: Charles H. Moy-
er, president Of the Western Fedora
tion OF Miners. was in Spokane to-
day on his way to the Coeur d'Alenes.
Questioned about the statement OF
President Roosevelt CHASING the
Western Federation officers as unde-
sirable citizens, Meyer said;
81 attribute his action in our cases
to the influence surrounding him at
that time. There has been certainly
vlndlcation not only of the officers
but of the whole Western Federation
OF Miners"
In speaking of the part Harry Or
chard played in the trials Of the
miner officials, Mr.. Meyer said he
could not guess what would be Harry
Orchards fate.
"Whlle l do not wish TO be held
responsible for this story I under
stand that a statement was made by
member of Governor Gooding's
family to the erect that tatner SAID
IL Pettibone was acquitted he would
turn Harry Orchard loose. l have
every reason to believe this state
ment true and still think it would
take a bold man to turn Orchard
loose. His plea is still guilty in the
Canyon county court and think the
most reasonable guess one could
make would be that he will be given
short trial, sentenced and finally
released by pardon OF the governor
Moyer will leave tomorrow for
visit to local unions in this section.
He will stop at Rathdrum to arrange
for some detail in the Adams case.
Mr.. Meyer will return to Spokane in
about two weeks.
