Missed Rabbit. Struck a House.

A stray shot from a SO-SO rifle,
fired at a jack rabbit near Hulls
gulch, about a half mile from the
city, came near causing a tragedy
yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock,
the bullet crashing through the door
of brick house on Tenth street, be-
tween Ridenbaugh and Lemp streets,
going about thre inches over the
head of the gentleman living in the
house and burying itself in the wall
on the other side of the room, says
the Boise Capital News.
The shot was fired by j. C. Berry
elevator conductor In the Soma build
ing, and he would probably never
would have known how close he came
to ending life had not the German,
whom he barely missed, dug the bull
let out of the brick wall and taken it
to the hills where he found Mr.. Ber-
ry and his companions and informed
them of the affair.

Great excitement has been pre-
vailing In the ranks OF the Pendleton
three footers for the past few days
and will continue for at least two
days more.
The usual troubles incident to the
usual balloon ascension have marked
the flights Of the East Oregonian's
balloons bearing tickets to the big
circus which will be here Saturday.
Despite the trouble Of high wind and
poor balloons, one has been sent up
each evening at o'clock as per ad-
vertisement and as a result there are
four tickled kids In town.
Today the conditions are more IA
vorable and 1t is believed that the
first really successful ascension from
the spectators viewpoint will be
made. A fresh supply Of airships
have been received from Portland and
the absence Of a strong wind makes
It probable that the flight will be
better and that the youngsters will
have more of race to get the coveted
prizes than they have had so far.
The sixth and last balloon with the
big teddy bear on the side will be
sent up from the top Of the East Ore
gonlan building tomorrow at 4.

T 1VVV'
To the Voters OF Umatilla and Morrow
Counties.

Counties.
Having. at late day, been nomi
mated by individual electors of the
sixth judicial district, for the office
OF district attorney, my name will ap-
pear upon the official ballot as an in
dependent candidate.
For various reasons l have found II
impossible to make any kind Of a
canvass and 1 desire to state to the
public, through the press the particu-
lar principles upon which stand.
l believe in law and order and that
all law should be observed by all per-
sons, and whenever any penal law is
violated 1t should be enforced by the
proper officers, courts and jurles.
That all statutes enacted for the
protection of persons, property and
good morals should be kept alive and
effective.
1t is necessary for all executive Of
ficers. and especially the district at
torney to act with great caution and
discretion so as to prevent unneces-
sary expense to the county and state.
The office of district attorney is
necessarily an expensive one and for
that reason the incumbent should pro-
tect the taxpayers in every possible
way Taxes are much too high; there
should be retrenchment in every de-
partment. It is the duty OF the dis
trict attorney to advise all executive
officers as to what is legal and to
prevent them from doing that which
.s unlawful. In that capacity 1t is the
duty to advise and guide the county
court in the expenditures, which the
law imposes upon It, The taxes of
Umatilla county have been increased
OF late years by the unlawful expen-
diture of very large sums of money,
fer which reason the taxpayers might,
II they saw fit to resort to the courts,
repudate large portion of the ex-
listing debt of Umatilla county.
BY this | refer to the voluntary
creation Of county Indebtedness over
the amount of $4,000 limited by the
constitution; all of which indebted
ness having been declared by the su-
preme court of this state to be abso-
lutely void even in the hands of in
nocent purchasers.
am in favor of every possible re-
trenchment, that taxes may be reduc-
ed
In politics l have, in the past. af-
filiated with the democrats and peo-
pies parties. Upon the non-partisan
questions l have always stood for pro-
hib!tion and local option and l favor
statement No. /.
If l should be elected as district at
torney of the sixth judicial district I
will endeavor to do my duty fairly
and impartially.
As to my qualifications, will only
say that I have practiced in this state
for over 2S years.
| am under no obligations to any
party, class or individuals for I have
made no promises or combinations.

Omen Land On Payette Lakes.

One hundred tracts of land on the
west side of Payette lakes, with a
frontage of 100 feet and a depth OF
800 feet, have been surveyed and
plated off by the state engineers de-
partment and will probably be placed
on the market at a public sale to be
held by the state land board in re.
sponse to petitions from many people
who desire to secure sites upor
which to erect summer resorts, says
the Boise Capital News.
Secretary of State Robert Lansdon
representing the board of state land
commissioners, visited the lakes last
week in company with Charles w.
Spearman of the state engineers Of
flee to inpsect the lands with a view
to determining the advisabllity of
placing small tracts of land along the
lakes upon the market, returning to
Boise today.
A report of conclusions reached
during the trip will be made to the
land board probably at the next reg
ular session and 1t is expected that
favorable action will be taken toward
placing the tracts as surveyed and
plated on the west side of the lakes
on the market.

THE MIST AND THE SEA.

The mist crept in from the sea
Out Of the void and the vast;
And 1t bore the silver rain
A shimmering guest in its train,
And many murmuring strain,
OF the ships that sailed in the past
Soft as sleeps footballs be
The mist crept in from the sea.
The mist crept in from the sea.
And folded the length of the shore
! In the clasp of the mothering arms
As though it would shield from harms;
And luled were the loud alarms,
And lost was the rage and roar
OF the surge, so soothingly
The mist crept in from the sea.
The mist crept in from the sea.
White, lmpalpably, strange;
Full Of the wafture of wings,
OF eerie and eldritch things,
or visions and vanishings
Ever in shift and change:
Silently, hauntngly,
The mist crept in from the sea.
The mist crept in from the sea.
And abode for a space, and then
1t heard the imperious call
And 1t knew itself as the thrall
or the world old master OF men,
SO, still as the dreams that flee
The mist crept back to the sea.

The made in Southern California"
exposition, which was so successful last
year and was visited by 100000 per-
sons, will be repeated in the fall for
the benefit of tourists, and held over for
the Elks' convention next July.
The exposition is now under way, and
many manufacturers of Los Angeles
and vicinity have made application for
floor space. Among those to whom 1T
has been awarded already are Bishop
& Co., William H. Hoegee company,
Tourist Automobile company, Kahn
