awakened by a glare Of light. Before
she could rush to the rescue of Harry,
who lay in the same room. flames were
all about her. She made futile at
tempt to reach the boy, receiving
serious burns about her hands.
The screams awakened the father

rooms. and who were sufficiently re-
covered from their illness to make their
escape. The other occupants of the

out. but several of them were sew verely
burned.
Wrapped in old burlap, the invalids
and other members of the family,
clothed only in their night clothes,
were taken to neighbours home. No
thing was saved from the house. The

Barrett made good record in the
legislature last session for first

instrumental in securing legislation

the state is completed.

''The proposed water code which

western Oregon, "a part Of the state

NEW MOTIVE POWER
Hudson Maxim's Motorite Will Double
Speed of Torpedoes Submarine Yes
sci and All Ocean Going Boats.

A new motive power known as
'motorite,' which is expected TO rev.
olutionize torpedoes and torpedo boats
and possibly in the future replace steam
as a motive power for ocean going ves-
sells, has been invented, 1t is announc-
ed, by Hudson Maxim, the we'll known
inventor.
1t is said that Maxim has already
made extensive tests with models of
torpedos and torpedo boats and has no.
titled the government Of his invention.
"Motorite" the new motive power
which is the basis of the torpedo and
the torpedo boat, is said to be com
paDion of certain powerful explosives
and by means of it torpedos and tor
pedo boats are propelled through the
water at great speed. Maxim says
that an ordinary sized torpedo can be
sent through the water at a speed of
sixty miles an hour. Maxim's new
model torpedo boat, which is practi-
cally submerged can be propelled, the
inventor says, at a rate of from fifty
FIVE to sixty miles an hour. With
boat going at this speed and torpedo
ira Yelling at twice the present speed,
and for more than twice the distance
now possible, Maxim believes he has
made discovery which will revolu-
tionize the building of warships.
The inventor is also of the opinion
that his new motive power will sooner
or later come into use on merchant
vessels and will double their speed.
He declines to give details Of "mo-
torite" until his application for pat
ents, now pending, have been acted
upon.

WHEAT SHIPMENTS DELAYED
Railroad Companies Fail to Furnish
Cars in Washington.

According to the Walla Walla gram
dealers the shipment of thousands of
bushels of wheat. stored along the
Snake River Valley branch of the o.
R. g. N. is being delayed through the
failure of the railroad to furnish cars,
although several hundred "empties"
have been hauled into eastern Wash
iugton the past two weeks aud shunted
onto side tracks at Walla Walia and
other points along the line. Wheat
ready to ship September 10, is still be-
ing held in the warehouse, through
lack of cars. says the Walla Walla
Statesman.
Reports from Portland and Tacoma
state that the big accumulation of
wheat that has poured into those ports
the past two months is being rapidly
loaded for export and shipments from
interior points, it is expected, will be
resumed in short time.
In anticipation of a resumption of
the wheat business. the railroads have
been sending out large numbers of
empty tox cars TO interior points. 1t is
estimated that about 35 per cent of
Walla Walla's 1907 crop is yet to be
moved to tidewater. This amount is
about equally divided between the o.
R. & N. and Northern Pacific.
The local wheat market has taken
on stronger tone. although little
grain is changing hands, farmers with
their last seasons crop on hand. hold
ing for better prices. Choice blue stem
was quoted at 70 cents in the ware
houses today.

There Are a Multitude of People In

Who Have Been Restored to Health
By the Use of Pe-ru-na.

There are a multitude of people in the United
States who have been restored TO health by the use
of Peruna There is no use trying to deny this fact
AS rule, doctors dislike to admit it. There is
and then courageous doctor who does admit it, how
ever. In such Peruna is prescribed by the
doctor himself. Even though the doctor suffers
pecunary loss oy such transaction his patient is
benefited, which ought to be the DOCTORS chief
concern.
we do not claim that doctors generally prescribe
Peruna. But we do claim. whenever Peruna is in
teligently prescribed 1t rarely disappoints either
the doctor or patient.
