Emil Schranm

DIED: On Sunday, August 3Oth, 1908, Emil Schramm, beloved son of Bernhardt and Josephine Schramm and brother of Chas. Schramm.
 Funeral services were held from the Congregational church on Tuesday, September lst, at o'clock p. m., Rev. j. P. Hadley officiating. The interment was at the Eagles plot in the Douglas cemetery.
 Emil Schramm was born on Septem Der p, 1891, in the city of Bellingham, Wash, and there grew to young man. hood, graduating from the public school at or near tho head of his class. He was a boy of good habits, indus trious by disposition, and soon master ed his fathers trade, that of carpenter and builder He came to Treadwell last April and was there employed ct his trade until the beginning of the illness that terminated in his death. He was taken sick on August 23, and was cared for at the home of his aunt, Mrs. George H. Peterson, until last Friday, when he was taken to St. Ann hospital where he passed away the following Sunday.
 The mother, who visited Douglas for two months this summer, resides at Che family home at Bellingham, and was notified by cable of her sons ill- ness and also of the sad termination, and it was her request that Che body be laid to rest here.
 Death is always cruel and sad, but when his harsh hand falls on budding youth his work is most appalling.
 The bereaved ones have the sym paGhy of all.

WORD PICTURE OF WALL0WA LAKE AND
CANYON

white mans blood is peaceful now.
The Powder river montains wall 1t TO
the south. Piled peaks lift pointed
up and rise in serrate battlements
that grow until one towers over all
the mountains Of Oregon, out toDs
Mount Hood.
The roadway to the lake is ever
up. The lake itself is hid until one
tops the hills that girdle 1t and
when the view breaks forth 1t mirrors
all the glories of the hills beyond, the
peaks that rise above, striped black
by canons, patched by lurking SHOWS.
The water, cold as Ice, is clear as
crystal lense. The blush waters Of
Avalon are not so clean. No boats
with framed plates Of glass are need
ed to look down into Wallowa's
depths There is no water vegetation
there. The rocky bottom so feet be-
low looks five.
The faintest splash of oars comes
magnified by echoes from the far
hlllsldes and at the southern end
there is a roaring as a waterfall comes
down from where the SHOWS lie deep
but yield before the ardor Of the sun.
Beyond the waterfall that foams
through tangled thickets to the lake,
pective stretch dwlndling on. To
eastward lift the Seven Devils in con-
torted piles. To south the chain of
mountains breaks and forms a frame
for two vast peaks that pinnacle the
sky and pierce the clouds. The place
is one of beauty. little known because
Of difficulty of access, and its people
lovingly with something of the soft
accent OF Dixleland, call 1t "Wull-ow."
The sunrise on the lake is gray
and grand and pink. The evening is
glory of the west. The shadows
creep out from the shores and stripe
the peaks reflected on the bosom of
the lake. The night comes on and
all the thousand whisperings of the
woods, the comings and the golngs Of
the little people Of the wild begin. It
is a paradise untouched as yet, un-
marred by man, but when the rail-
road comes its glories still will be,
and one who finds himself at La
Grande, where Grande Ronde valley
liS below the hills. can do no better
than to visit Switzerland in Oregon,
to journey into Wallowa-"Wullow."

BOATS FOR UPPER RIVER.
Open River Transportation Company
Ready for Fall Traffic.

September l the Open Rivei
Transportation company will place it,
steamer Relief in commission on the
upper Columbia to make daily trips
between Cello and Arlington and Al.
derdale. says a Portland item. Al
Cello she will connect with the
steamer j, N. Teal from Portland by
way of the portage road.
This arrangement will give through
service from the upper Columbia
country to Portland in fine shape and
open an outlet for grain and other
products from the upper reaches of
the Columbia river basin. The Relief
will ply as far as Arlington and AL
derdale, making one round trip
daily.
The Relief is owned by the Open
River Transportation company but
has been lying idle at Cello since the
]. N. Teal was partly destroyed by
fire some months ago. The Teal was
rebuilt and enlarged and the COM
pany is again ready to handle traffic
on the upper river.
The intention is to eventually have
several large craft in com mission IN
the upper river and two between
Portland and Big Eddy. the lower
transfer of the portage road, and with
that end in view two are now being
built at Cello for the company
These craft will be ready, It is es-
timated, in time to move thousands
of tons of wheat that will be ship
ped here this fall and winter for ex-
port.

GOOD OBJECT LESSON
FOR MIXED FARMING

The Coulee City News tells a good
story of success In mixed farming in
that section Of Douglas county. The
editor has been going up and down
the country visiting his patrons and
subscribers and taking notes of pro-
gress.
Among other places of more or less
Importance he visited the orchard
home Of a prominent farmer who
combines all the elements of mixed
agriculture and reaps profitable har-
vests from every field. How he man
ages the large farm is one of the in
teresting and instructive problems
for the consideration of all who till
the soil for profit.
Seven miles from Coulee City is
situated the Sprague farm. 1t corh-
prlses a tract of 5000 acres. The
crops for the present consist of 200
acres of wheat, 40 acres Of rye and
eight acres planted to orchard and
alfalfa. The place is adorned with
a seven-room house. surrounded by
plants. flowers and shrubs.
Water for home use, and for irri-
eating the orchard and alfalfa field,
comes from springs. The largest area
OF land is kept in its native condition
and used as pasture for horses, sows
and hogs. But the income from that
little irrigated tract is the interesting
point of the story.
The orchard contains 400 trees,
from which the owner states that he
expects to net s25OO this season. The
alfalfa, which is under irrigation, will
return three good crops, estimated to
be worth $50 an acre.
Under such circumstances 1t is not
necessary to have a commission ap-
pointed by the president to investi-
gate into the desirability of farming
in that part of Douglas county. 1t
is profitable occupation.
The farmer who can take as much
fruit and hay from
an eight-acre tract as is shown by
the Sprague place. surely ought to be
contented, says the News. There is
an object lesson for others who have
been thinking that such districts as
Douglas county were not worthy of
consideration.

THE OGLER MUST GO.
Portland PostOffice Corridors TO be
Cleared of Professional Washers.


The postoffice masher and ogler
must go. Postmaster Mimic has de-
clared himself, says the Oregon Daily
Journal
Certain good-looking fellows, or
rather fellows who think themselves
good looking, have been making the
postoffice their favorite place to
make "pickups," as they call them,
for months, Some of them are reg
ulars and have been handing out in
the corridors for most all night sew
eral years.
When a good-looking, attractive
girl comes along CONSERVATION pre-
walls. Each one tries to pretend that
he is there for some other purpose.
So he runs to the stamp window. buys
nothing, and then darts back to the
general delivery window, or in which
ever direction the fair one happens to
go.
Then he ogles TO beat the band.
And in justice to the men, it must
be said that now and then their eff
forts are not in vain. That's what
makes the place so popular. Each
one has hopes of some day making a
catch. Or of meeting his affinity"
in other words.
In rainy weather mashers are the
most numerous. But this winter they
are not to be tolerated at all by the !
postoffice authorities.
Policeman Joe Burke. was formerly
stationed at the postoffice and knew
most of the mashers by sight. And
they also knew him, by sight. They
weren't so thick then.
But since Joe was transferred sew
eral months ago the mashers soon
got hold of the news and have been
making the best of the situation ever
since
And now Uncle Sam, la ]. w.
Mimic, comes along and says the ogler
must seek other parts of the city for
carrying out his cute, little, innocent
operations.
