APRIL GENERALLY
A WARM MONTH
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR %
YEARS WAS So DEGREES
ACCORDING TO OBSERVER.

April may be expected to be some
what warmer than March, according to
data for April issued by Observer New
man today An average temperature
of 53 degrees has been observed in the
last % years; while one month, the
April of 1888 had an average of So. But
Just to show how chilly an April can
be, the weather man in 1892 doped out
an April with a temperature of but 40.
In 1890, the thermometer established
q record for high temperature that has
not yet been broken, getting up to SO
degrees on the 18th. The lowest ever
known in April was the fourth day III
1887, when the mercury dropped to 80.
In this month the last damaging frost
usually makes it's appearance, on or
about the sixth day. They have as late
May 3, however, 1886 being the year
this happened.
A precipitation of 1852 inches may be
expected ii the year IS normal. Nine
days should have at least .01 of an inch.
There was an April, that of 1893 that
furnished 3.SS inches of rain. Against
this is balanced the fall of but .O4 in
1906. There should be nine days without
a cloud; 16 more will be more than
likely partly cloudy, while there are
apt to be five during which the sun will
not be seen at all. Winds will come
from the south, and in all probability
lat an average velocity of 81 miles ar
hour, although on April l, 1895, there
was a southwest wind that tore through
the city at the rate of so miles an
hour. However, April is always one of
the most beautiful months of a Wana
Walla spring and the tradition of rain
mess does not apply here as a usual
thing.

Gets $4,000 for Wheat Crop.

One of the largest single transac-
tons in wheat of the 1907 crop was
today, when B. L. SUIT

in the Rattlesnake fiat region, sold 35.-
400 bushels to the Pacific Coast Eleva-
tor comn any, says a Washington item.
The grain, half of which was bluestem
and half red, brought an average Of
73 IA cents. The whole sale aggre-
gates over $4,000. There was spirited
bidding by the other companies to get
the lot. The grain has not been deliv-

stead entry to person otherwise
qualified who, prior to the date of the
act, made homestead entry and COM
muted same under the provisions of
section 23O1, Revised Statutes, and the
amendments thereto, but such second
entry is not subject to Communication.
The act of May %, 1902 (32 Stat,
203), allows a second homestead en-
ty to a person otherwise qualified
who, prior to May II, 1900, made and
perfected a homestead entry, paying
therefore the price provided under the
law opening the land for settlement,
but to which land, had he not perfect
ed title prior to the date mentioned, he
would have been entitled to receive
a patent without payment under the
allow Communication unless proof sub
mitted on land first entered shows five
years residence
In brief these are the provisions of
the law, but there are certain formali-
ties which must be complied with that
are not given here. Further information
can be obtained at the land office.
These new rulings, it is thought, will
give a large number of people DESTROYS
and ireally deserving a second entry, an
opportunity for so doing.

REV. ]. c. REID

OF FIRST PREsBYTERlANs.

| At a meeting of the members, Rev.
J. c. Reid was last night called to as
sumo the pastoral relation to the First
Presbyterian church of this city. Rev.
Reid has not yet announced whether
or not ne will accept the call For 81
months Rev. Reid has been supply"
pastor of the church and during that
time he has made great many friends
! in the city, all of whom would be eX-
tremely sorry to see him leave. He is
recognized as one of the ablest minis
ters of the city and the members of the
church, and others who are acquainted
with him, feel that in losing him the
city would not only lose a prominent
pastor but also a man whose influence
for good in the city during his stay
| has been marked and energetic enough
| to be of real service.
The annual reports presented at the
meeting last night showed progress
il every direction. There have been 1856
new members added to the church since
Rev. Reid took charge. The minister
preached 2GS sermons, delivered Is adj
dresses, and has made 500 pastoral
visits during the 81 months he has
served the church as pastor Rev. Reid
has received two calls from churches in
the middle west, one from the Presby
terrain church at ST Louis, and the
ether from Alton, Illinois. Rev. Reid
vii probably make an announcement as
to his future next Sunday. 1t is Almost
the universal wish Of his congregation
besides hundreds of friensd he has
made curing his residence in Waila

First Congregational church.

Where Four States Meet.

1t is odd to reflect that it is pos
sible for one to be in four states at
the same time. Yet there is one
such spot in the United States.
Glancing at map of the United
States, one frds an intersection be-
tween two straight lines, where
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and
Arizona meet. The place is not
often visited, as it is not easily
reached. The stone erected by gov
ernment surveyors is on the top OF
a spur in the Carriso mountains.
The nearest railway town is Man
cos, Colo, nearly hundred miles
from the "four corners" The re-
gion about was once densely popu-
lated by cliff dwellers, but there are
now no human beings within miles.
Some years ago the Indians destroy
ed the boundary shaft. 1t was not
replaced until 1904, probably be-
cause long time elapsed before the
authorities knew the old one had
been wrecked.

Heart Power.

The weight of the blood expelled
at each contraction of the left ven
tricle of the heart is about four
ounces. The multiplication of this
number gives us two and quarter
foot pounds-that is, a force capa-
BILE of raising that number of
pounds one foot high-as the work
performed at each contraction of
the left ventricle. In an adult per-
son in good health there are per-
formed some seventy-fve such con-
fractions per minute. Adding the
work done by the right ventricle,
which is about one-third that of the
left, we find that the force expend-
ed by. the human heart in twenty
four hours would suffice to raise 12O
tons weight one foot high.-New

ENGLISH Leeend Of Tailed Men.

When a Hollander wants to show
his contempt for an Englishman
he refers to him as "steert man"
in other words, "the man with a
tail" The old legend says that
Thomas a Beckett cursed the Kent
ishmen who spitefully cut off his
horses tail and that the entire gen
Grafton of Kent which followed
wore tails like horses. John Bale,
Edward WIS bishop of Ossory,
mentions the legend, but gives some
variations as to the cause of the
punishment. He says on the au-
thority of John Capgrave that "for
castyne yshe tayles at st. Angus
tine Dorsetshyre men had tayles
ever after that" Polydorus, how
ever, applies the legend to the
Kentish men of Stroud "forecutting
off Tomas Becket's horses tayie." "
One account says that only those
living in Kent at the time the curse
was pronounced "were afflicted with
large dropping tayles like brutes,
their posterfty beying not so af-
fected."

Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known
as the digestive juices, and 1t is
through these juices that the food
we eat is acted upon in such a way
as to produce the rich, red blood
that flows through the veins of our
body and thereby make us strong,
healthy and robust, and it is the
weakening of these digestive juices
that destroys health. 1t is our own
fault if We destroy our own health,
and yet it is so easy for any one to
take 1t promptly, but take something
put the stomach out of order.
When you need to take something
you know is reliable-something like
Kodol for Dyspepsia and 1ndiges-
ton. Kodol is pleasant to take, it
is reliable and is guaranteed to give

a good thing for the surgeon.
There's money in it. People who
throw away orange peel should be

case, of course, it is different.-Lon-

THE CHINESE CODE.
Il Is Older Than Any Other That Is
Now IN Use.

It is Older Than Any Other That Is
Now In Use.
It NAV not be generally known
that China has an ancient and elab-
crate, not to say yoluminous, code
of written laws. In point of an
tiquity it is by far the oldest of all
codes now in force Only such in
struments as the Dccalogue or the
code of Hammurabi seem ancient
beside it. If the code of Justinian
had been continuously operative
since its PRONUNCIATION it would still
be Youthful as compared with this
Chinese product. Intrinsically it
consists of some twenty-four vol
umes. in the literary language of the
empire, and it not only covers the
general field of substantive civil and
criminal jurisprudence, but it also
touches upon nearly every phase of
human interest and duty, for the
Chinese conception of law is broader
than the occidental and includes
many subjects which western jurists
would regard as belonging to the
domain of ethics or etiquette.
Independently of its contents the
external character of this code af-
fords guarantee of its permanence.
1t is said to consist of the accumu-
lated DEGREES Of the emperors, dat
ing back twenty centuries, collected,
revised and arranged in logical or
der, and is thus an application upon
an elaborate scale of the system of
.adjudicated precedents which forms
the foundation of our Anglo-Saxon
jurisprudence. But in China the
