Iowa valley and gave the right of way
on the explicit understanding that the
road was to have been completed
within the two year period
He refuses to allow the work of
construction to proceed through his
premises until the company has made
another contract for the right Of way
and 1t is now feared that much Of
the right Of way through the lower
valley will become involved in the
same ENHANCEMENT
The work of constructing the line to
Wallowa would have been completed
this week, It is believed but for this
unforeseen obstacle. An injunction
is asked for by the company, re-
straining Mcdonald from interfering
with the progress of the work and by
this means It Is hoped to proceed
with the tracklaying which had been
making rapid progress during the
rast few days.

CHERRY DRYING
A LA GRANDE INDUSTRY

A new industry, and one that may
become important, has been started
at Cove. It is a cherry-drying pro-
cess, whereby the undersized and
over-ripe fruit is converted into a
commodity readily salable.
One fruit-growing firm has already
found a market for five tons OF the
finished product, and next year, 1t is
predicted, the by-product of the
cherry tree will cut a large figure in
the total receipts from the Grande
Ronde cherry trees.
This valley is leading the Pacific
coast in this matter In the east it
has been found that cherries can be
dried profitably, but here the process
can be carried on with even greater
results. The cherries that cannot be
included in first-class shipments, are
turned over to the dryer.
For a cent and a half pound the
cherries are dried losing so per cent
Of their original weight The mini
mum price to be obtained for the two
carloads that will be shipped to New
York from here will be Is cents a
pound,
It is freely predicted that next year
there will be several more dryers at
work on the cherry crop.

Three combined harvesters made in
Pendleton by the inventor, A. D. Rey,
nolds have been successfully tested
in this vicinity during the harvest
season just' closed and have been
pulled into the sheds.
That the Pendleton machines are
an unqualified success is the state
ments OF those who have operated
them and that they have many feat
ures far superior to the ordinary COM
gined harvester is also the declara-
ton Of their owners.
The three machines of the Rey-
nolds type used in this county this
season are owned by Elgin & Neil,
Balm Brothers and Moens and all have
been used constantly during the entire
harvest, making a good record for
acreage, threshlng the grain clean,
saving time and wear and tear be-
cause of the automatic side hill ad-
juster which is the peculiar feature
of the Reynolds combines and in every
way giving satisfaction to their pur-
chasers.
As but three of the Reynolds ma
chimes could be manufactured this
season on account of the limited IA
cilfties of the manufacturer, many
orders were refused. Had the factory
been able to turn out the machines
at least 20 instead of three would
have been used in Umatilla countH
this season.

CARPET OF MINT is
FILLED WITH GOLD
\ San Francisco item says:

A San Francisco item says:
The carpet floor OF the adjusting
room at the San Francisco mint is
about worn out and after the old COW
ering has been taken up 1t will be
handled with far more care than a
new one. II will be many times more
valuable, because it is literally lined
with gold. The old carpet will be
burned and from the ashes the treas
ury department officials expect to
realize about $4,000
In the adjusting room files are
used to trim surplus gold from the
coins after being stamped. 1t also
frequently happens that a piece OF
overweight parts OF the filings thus
taken off fall to the floor and become
imbedded in the grain OF the carpet.
The very best carpets are purchased
for this room, so that the closely
woven material will hold securely the
scattered bits OF gold
It is nothing unusual for the gov
ernment TO get $4,000 worth Of gold
dust out OF the ashes resulting from
the burning OF one of these carpets.
The floor sweepings are treasured
with the utmost care, as they furnish
enough money to pay the salary OF
the jainltor several times over.

In looking over the various industries
of our city there is one that deserves
more than passing mention and that is
the City Steam Laundry on Pleasant
street, conduuted by Mr., E. A. Thorne,
laundryman of a years experience in
the business.
The plant is located in neat one story
building and everything about it is a
model of neatness and cleanliness. Plenty
of side windows furnish an abundance Of
light for the operators to do their work in
firstclass manner and the plant is
equipped with the latest and best improv-
ed machinery for the performance of the
work, both the electricity and steam
power being used. The large rotary
washers are used in washing the goods,
the water used coming from well of
pure sparkling water located in the build
ing. The cloths are wrung in a centrif-
ugal extractor thus avoiding the tearing
off of buttons and injury to the goods.
After washing, the goods are dried in a
steam dry room, with the exception Of
the flat work which goes directly to a
large steam flat work ironer, from which
it emerges ready to be folded and de-
hvered. Only the finest and best grades
Of soaps, blueing and starch are used in
the work, the principal part of which is
laundering shirts, collars, cuffs, shirt
waists, fancy shirts, bed spreads, table
cloths, etc. They also do family wash
ings, both the rough dry and finished
work Rough dry work is the work
which is returned to the housewife pro-
perly sterched and ready fof the hand
ironing, but all flat pieces such as napkins,
towels, sheets, pillow slips, ETC., are ironed
on the flat work machine at very reason
able prices and many families are taking
advantage of this chance to save the hare

working house wife and do away with
washday at home.
All work is gotten out promptly as soon
as received, work coming In on Monday
before $50 being ready for delivery Tues
~day evening; that coming in before 500
Wednesday morning being ready for de-
livery Thursday; and work coming in
before 800 o'clock Friday is ready for
Saturday. Patrons, however are advised
to get their work in early ia the week as
they are often called away in the middle
or latter part Of the week and thus their
work is ready for them.
Mr.. Thorne personally attends to the
picking up and delivery Of all work and is
always ready to respond to any call from
any part of the city His telephone is
Citizens No. SO, and YOU are at liberty
to call up the laundry at any time OF the
day and he will call at your door for the
goods. He already has a list Of about ! 90
customers that are called on each Mon
day and many new ones are being added
each week and still he has facilities for
handling much more work. You can have
your name on the list for weekly calls or
for every other week If you SO desire
The quality Of the work is A No l. and
anything that is not as desired will be
given attention at once, as it is his desire
to please all customers. This is strictly
home industry and should have the pat
ronage OF all Beldlng people as the more
work he has to do the more help he hires
in the city. The public is welcome to
step in any time and inspect this model
and up-to-date laundry, watch the
machinery in operation and learn how to
do away with "blue Monday" in the
household. Send or call on them with
your washngs or laundry and see how it
seems to get little more rest on Monday.

Shot up The City

Last Thursday night party OF young
time, started out of the city in rig and
drove toward Greenvile. After reach
ing the North side they pulled out re-
volvers and amused themselves by shoot
ng a number Of shots in rapid succession
to the great discomfort of the people in
that portion Of the city.
Two of the arc lights were shot out and
the residents in that vicinity were de-
prived OF their lights. 1t is said that the
ruffians came from Greenville and that
empty cartridges were found in their
buggy after they had returned 1t to the
barn where it was rented. Arrests will
probably follow and the guilty parties
will have chance to see what it means
to break the law in such lawless and
contemplate manner.
Later-After the above was put in type
it developed through the efforts of Deputy
Sheriff Taylor and Prosecuting Attorney
D. c. Sheldon and Mayor Bricker that
one of the guilty parties was a Greenville
man and the other from this city, A
charge of drunk and disorderly and ma
licous destruction of property was pre-
ferred against them and they were made
to pay fine and costs by Justice Moul-
ton. The boys lay all the blame to ar
over jndulCence in hCuor and each have
resolved to cut it out entirely hereafter
and never be caught in such a scrape

LIFE IS
WORTH LIVING
In Belding-No One Need Seek a
Better Home Place

Six Years Are Many-Every Con-
venience at Hand

Detroit is not the only place on earth
where life is worth living and although
the first city in the state is doing much
Dragging and getting large quantity Of
publicity, yet right here in Beding we
have a growing city where any individual
might settle down and find life worth
living In the past five or six years many
improvements have been made and the
city is we'll equipped with about every
convenience for making the home COM
Portable and people happy and contented.
The city is fast approaching the 5000
population mark and there is none 10 the
state of its size that can boast of SO many
and such fine factories,
The water works system is one of the
best and nearly every residence in the
city can be supplied with the purest of
water for lawn and all household pur-
poses. Gas and electric lights have been
brought to almost every door and these
wonderful and almost indispensable con-
veniences may be had at small cost
The city park which is continually being
improved affords recreation grounds, easy
of access and many Of our citizens enjoy
an outing there, these hot days.
Boating on the river is excellent and
the canoe and the clinker from Smith S
boat livery is in commission most of the
time by parties VINO take d row up the
river and strike camp along the beautiful
banks for a picnic or a days outing.
Surely in Belding life is worth living.

Mrs. Homer Gray. who lives on Mont
calm street, the wife OF section hand on
the railroad, made an attempt to drown
herself by jumping into Flat river just
west Of the Middleton dam Saturday
morning. She was seen by Charles
Brown, who attempted to pull her out,
but she resisted with such force that
Brown would undoubtedly have been
drowned if D. A. Hanselman had not come
to the rescue and pulled them both out.
She was taken to the city lookup for
safe keeping until her husband came to
look after her. he having been sent, for.
While in the cell she tore up blanket
into strips and tried to hang herself, but
was frustrated in her attempt by Marshal
Mason. When Mrs. Gray was seen by a
reporter of the Call, she refused TO give
any reason for her rash attempt, but said
she had no children and that the officer
wouldn't keep her there long, and that
the best thing he could do would be to
take her home in hack.
This is said to be the third attempt Mrs.
Gray has made to drown herself. Green
