The next church building to be
erected in Umatilla county will be

place are carried into effect.
Rev. Levi Johnson, Presbyterian
Sunday school missionary for UNA

tain that the congregation there win

short time.
There is now a commodious Meth
odist church at Echo, but the Pres
byterlan congregation is increasing
rapidly and a majority of the MEM
bers are in favor of building a

churches have been organized at
Pilot Rock and Ukiah through the

IRRIGATION FOR CHILE.
Artesian Wells Proposed TO Supply
Water I'm the North.

Consul Alfred A. Winslow, Of VAL
paraiso, reports that the government
of Chile is giving the water supply
question for the arid regions in the
northern part of Chile, considerable
attention, adding:
The government now has project
under consideration to see what can
be done by way Of irrigation by
means of arteslan wells in that region
1t is recognized that all those barren
plains need to make them the garden
spots Of the world is moisture. For
that reason soundlngs are to be made
in that part of the country to deter
mine what the subterranean supply
may be.
Julio Duplaquet, government en-
glneer, has been designated by the
minister Of public works to first make
Investigations in the vicinity Of Copia-
DO, where 1t is also proposed to sup
ply the city with arteslan water. CO.
piapo is a city of about 10000 lnhab-
itants, and is situated in the arid re-
glons about $50 miles north of VAL
paraiso. Rain has not fallen in that
part of Chile for ages, and the few
streams in that part Of the country
are fed by the melting snow on the
west slopes Of the Andes. The geo.
logical formation indicates that there
must be subterranean streams flowing
from the same source Of the Pacific
ocean.

vide for some OF its ftKure require
ments in timber and cross ties, the
Pennsylvania railroad forestry depart
ment has completed its forestry plant
ing for this year 1t set out 5000
trees. These make up to the present
time 2,425,OOO trees set out by the
railroad since it undertook tree plant
ing upon a comprehensive scale.
Economically to prosecute tree
planting operations on a large scale
has necessitated the importation OF
much European plant material, which
owing to the degree of perfection to
which the European foresters have
brought their work and the cheapness
of labor, can be purchased at a much
lower price than in America. This
year the Pennsylvania railroad i'm
ported 100000 seedlings, of which all
not large enough TO be planted in their
permanent sites have been set out in
transplant rows in the new forest nur-
sery established this year by the COM
pany at Morrisville, Pa, just across
the Delaware river from Trenton.
In the seed beds were sown this
year % bushels of acorns and nuts,
$40 pounds Of other hardwood seeds
and 75 pounds of confer seed. In
addition 100000 seedlings were per-
manently planted in land belonging to
the company. Trees which are not
suitable for timber production are be-
ing grown for ornament.
The company has this year began
the propagation Of ornamental trees
and plants for beautifying its prop
erty and intends to develop a large
amount of shrubbery and hedges for
the protection and ornamentation Of
the station grounds and rights Of way.
This work will be continued until all
station grounds and un0eeupied spaces
of the right of way are parked.-

Master Francis Llman, aged Z, Who
Accompanied Company l. TO Amer

pearance.

II couldn't sleep much at American
lake, there was so much shootin' "
said Francis Lyman, the youthful mas
cot OF Company L, who attended the
annual encampment at American lake,
but who returned home with his faith
er and a portion Of the company yes
terday, and 1 am glad to get home"
This was the estimate Of the Amer
lean lake encampment given to the
East oregonian today by the lad who
was prominent figure in Company
L quarters during the meeting of the
militiamen at the encampment.
Didn't you like the manoeuvers?"
was asked the young mascot.
'The what? Nav There was too
much shootin'. I liked to help cook
and see the drills, but I didn't like
the shootin'. 1 couldn't sleep; the
noise Of the shootln' was always ring
ing in my ears"
The little lad, who is but years
Of age, was selected by Company L as
its mascot at the summer encamp-
ment and he was the youngest soldier
among the 5000. He was dressed
in the regular khaki service uniform,
with hat, revolver, belt and all, and
presented a most soldierly figure
marching with his company.

In announcing his candidacy for
the nomination of United states sena>

Hoyt, editor of the Milwaukee Daily
News, offers his opponent, Neal
Brown of Wauseon, one column OF
space a night in the News in which
Brown can reply to what Hoyt is go
ing to say about him.
In his statement Hoyt tells where
he stands on leading questions and
says the voters must accept him as
he is or else let him alone. He says
he is going to say many things about
Brown, but wants fair fight and
therefore opens the columns of his
paper to his opponent.

on the phonograph. Thinking that
he was going to give them the rec
ord of instructions which he left for
his stenographer the evening before,
he turned the machine on.
But he had not reckoned with the
practical jokers of La Grande, for
during the night a number of friends
of the major had raided his office
and had talked into a fresh cylinder
some Of the most unprintable and out
rageous language that it was possible
to conceive of, and when the machine
was started for his lady friends in
stead Of his own gentle voice giving
instructions to his stenographer he
was Mortified to hear a strange voice
begin on what was introduced as "a
pure and pathetic poem addressed
and dedicated to the Amalgamated
Order Of Hot Air Artists" and before
he could stop the machine a few lines
Of the unspeakable poem had been
repeated for the anxious listeners.
It is not necessary to say that Major
Ivanhoe now takes his new cylinders
into the back room and tries them
out" before inviting any lady friends
tD listen to his voice reel off instruc-
tlons to his stenographer.

.REDS GET BOOZE
IN WALLA WALLA
UMATILLA INDIANS
DRINK CIRCUS FIREWATER.
Garden City Jail Was Filled to Over
flowing With Indian Residents OF
Umatilla County Who Went TO See
Circus and Remained to Drink.

9Because Of the fact that yesterday
was circus day, and harvesters from
all parts of the surrounding country
were here to see the elephants, the
police force had all the business 1t
could transact in a single day, the
cells and corridors having been
crowded almost to the limit last night
when darkness fell over the valley,
says the Walla Walla Union. The
fireworks started Tuesday night,
when a number of transients became
over-charged with booze, and from
that time until early this morning,
officers with offenders in charge re-
ported every few moments at the sta
ton.
So frequent did the visits of the
blue-coats become, that It was found
advisable yesterday evening to liber,
ate two Of the men behind the bars
in order to make room for more.
Accordingly ]. Stanton, who was ar
rested yesterday morning for being
drunk and disorderly, was released
on SO bonds to appear before Justice
Huffman today. d. D. Miller, who
was arrested yesterday afternoon at
8 o'clock, on the same charge. was
released on $3.50 bonds, and promis-
ed to be good.
Among those who were given lodg-
ing last night were Willie Maycutche.
an Indian from Athena; ]. Price, In
dian, Pendleton; Tom 10y, Indian,
Umatilla; Lee Evine; nameless In
dian; Jim White, Indian, witness;
Charles Bowers, selling liquor to In
dian; Archie Allard, disorderly con-
duct; Bill Hale, John Donnier, disor-
derly conduct; James Brisbois.
It was noticeable that nearly all
OF the offenders were from Umatllla
county, where the recent elections
banished the sale of intoxicating
liquor. The large number of men
who came to Walla Walla yesterday
II see the circus, were in almost every
case we'll supplied with money, and
having been "dry" for several weeks
proceeded at once to take on some
liquid ballast with the result that the
majority of them spent the night in
the city Jail.
