KILLS HER FOUR SONS.
Russian Mother Saves Them from
Horrors of Living.

Berlin, July 27.-A terrible quad
ruple murder is reported from Ekat-
erinburg, in Russia. A workman's
wife-a woman "a years of age-at-
tackled her four younger sons during
her husbands absence from home,
and killed them all by cutting their
throats with knife. The unfortun-
ate lads we're all quite young, aged re-
spectively 9, Z, and 2 years. The
woman then went to the field where
her eldest son was working, with the
intention of killing him also. but the
lad after a struggle managed to dis
arm his mother, who was arrested.
When she was questioned as to
the motives OF her terrible crime she
replied calmly that she had too many
children, "and," she added, If God
knew how we have to live, he would
wish them to be killed" 1t is be-
lieved that the woman must have
lost her reason, though up to the time
Of the tragedy she had been perfect
ly rational.

UNUSUAL. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
ATTACHMENT SUIT
FILED IN COUNTY COURT.
Object Was to Gain Time-NOt n
Single Magistrate in the City at
Present-Bean, Parkes and GILL;
land Are All Out Of Town on An
nual Vacations.

An unusual legal proceeding oc-
Cured here today when an attach
ment suit was filed in the county
court instead of the circuit or justice
before which such cases are almost
invariably brought The suit filed
is that of John Scheller VS.. C. d,
Chandler and is to collect balance
OF sS9 alleged to be due upon $52
note given at Williams, Ore., January
80, 1908. w. C. Sims is attorney for
the plaintiff.
Rarely, if ever before has such a
suit as this been brought in the coun-
ty court. However the course is per-
fectly legal for under state law
suits of that character may be
brought in the county court provided
the amount involved does not exceed
$500.
1t is said that the suit was brought
in the county court in hopes that
quicker action could be had than be-
fore either of the other courts. But
as Judge Gilliland as well as Judge
Bean and Justice Parkes are all away
from the city, it would seem that there
Is some doubt on this point.

Helena, Mont, July 27.-After liv-
ing in terrible torture and agony for
16 days, along without food, death
finally came to the relief of w. H.
Gulliver in the mountains near Olive
station, in Sanders county.
The only thing known about the
man is contained in a diary kept by
him while he was slowly dying.
The first entry reads: Notify my
people. Ny name is w. H. CULVER
and my home is in Birmingham,
England. Notify my wife, mother and
child at K. E. South st. l fell down
the mountains and broke my legs" >"
The next memorandum was made
the following day and says he had
dragged himself through miles Of will
derness with his broken legs dangl.
ing behind.
On the seventh day he wrote: -
could see section men across the river
on a hand car. yelled and was sure
they heard me-"
On the 18th day he wrote: "TwC
young men passed me and promised
to go for hep. They never returned"
1t is thought this Mst note is an hal
lucination.
On the 18th day he still had suffi-
cient vitality to write. He wrote:
This is my last day." His body was
found in a state of decomposition.
He was about 80 years old.

FOOD SUPPLY PROBLEM.
Conditions viii Become Acute Within
Another Generation.

Berkeley Cal, July 27.-The prob
lem of a food supply in this country
will be acute within another genera
ton unless some plan is conceived
to improve the quality of wheat, ac-
cording to Theodore C. Bartholo-
NEW, a prominent Cincinnati chem
ist, who addressed the master bakers
of the Pacific coast at their annual
meeting yesterday.
He rebuked the American farmers
for their misuse of land, and said:
"The day of vengeance is at hand
The earth refuses to be longer
abused. In place of giving fifty fold,
she only now gives five or ten, and
often less.
Phosphates and nitrates, so neces-
sary for plant life, are exhausted and
wheat raised on such starved out
land is almost devoid of protein and
gluten" '
He said malt was a partial remedy
for the evil and urges bakers to make
use of it.

.LEVEE CONTRACTOR IS TOLD TO HURRY

''By not rushing the reconstruction
of the levee two years ago. the coun-
Gil learned a lesson at the city's ex-
pense," says Mr.. Ell, "and we pro-
pose to profit by that experience and
avoid a recurrence of it.
"The money is on hand, everything
is in readiness and there is no reason
why all the men and teams available
should not be employed and the Job
completed as soon as possible.
"The committee looks at it this
way: the water will never be any
lower than 1t is at the present time
and no one can tell how soon the
early rains will set in and then the
trouble will commence for everybody.
We have no fault to find with the
work being done. That is alright, but
1t is not being done fast enough"
The committee consists OF Joe Ell
as chairman. and Councilman Knight
and Mumm.

tractor who was awarded the con-
tract, to repair and extend the levee,

ly and that not a sufficient number

the best interests of the city and to
the contractor as WELL to rush It as
rapidly as possible so he will not be
caught and his work delayed and the

to be passing through the railroad
yard Saturday when his glance fell

Kamela, July 27.-(East Oregoni.
an. THE Blue mountains are filled
with campers, wood haulers, huckle-
berry pickers and sheep. No one ever
saw the mountains at better advan-
tage than now. The delightfully."-
cool and bracing air, the abundance
of good water and luxuriant vegeta-
ton all combine to make an ideal
scene for a summer outing.
The frost has killed many fine ber-
ry patches tributary to Kamela, but
in other parts of the mountains they
are plentiful. There is an abundance
Of water in all the streams on the
high mountains and grass is good.
Stock are in fine condition all through
the mountains.
Going Back for Wood.
AS settlement advances farther and
farther into. the arid regions Of the
west each year, so do the wood chop
pers invade the deeper recesses Of the
forests each year.
New roads are being built far into
the woods, cabins are to be found
miles back In the heavy timber and
families live In the lonely forests from
year to year. that the demand for fuel
may be supplied.
In walking on the breaks Of tho
high hills overlooking the deep gorge
of Mckay creek yesterday, I was
really startled to hear a baby crying
in the dense forest and in short
distance / came upon a new cabin
erected by a wood chopper at the
very lend of the road"
Although the distance to the rail-
road is eight miles, yet the scarcity
of good timber nearer the track
makes it profitable to haul wood this
distance.
Work OF the Rangers.
Along the summit of the Blue
mountains north and south of Kane
la are the beaten trails OF the forest
rangers, Uncle Sans lonely guardians
of the forests. For miles and miles
through the forests, guided only by
the "blazed" trees of the reserve
boundaries, these watchful men ride
day after day watching for forest
fires, making trails and watering
places, guarding the line to see that
no unauthorized shepherd invades the
reserve, clearing away the under
brush to reduce the severity OF possi-
Bile forest fires and developing new
trails to make travel easy in the gov
ernment's national forest gardens.
1t is a fascinating, yet lonely occu-
patton. The horse, dog and gun OF
the rangers are largely their onlys
company on the long trails.
Mt. Hood in the Distance.
1t was a clear beautiful day. I
stood on the cliffs overlooking upper
Mckay creek. AT my feet, 5000 feet
below, ran the silver thread of the
stream, between its towering battle
ments of frowning cliffs and sun
burned hills.
Just visible over an intervening
ridge was the golden wheat belt OF
the Tutuilla flats. There to the right
arose the smoke of Pendleton's mills
and yonder before me, $50 miles
away, was lifted the shimmering sum-
NIT of Mt. Hood
What to that proud mountain peak
are the petty plans of men? What
to it the heartaches, hopes, hatreds,
greed or ambitions of the jostling
world?

Edgar Howard i . candidate for
congress. The Telegram announced
his candidacy last week. Editor How
ard is modest and fair in allowing his
name to be placed upon the primary
ballot. He requests that his friends
urge in his behalf no other plea than
his record of the years he has been
fighting the battles of his party. He
modestly solicits every word Of cheer
his party press may Be pleased to give
him, without injury to others who
NAV seek . like distinction"
1t would be . pleasure to the news
paper publishers Of the Third district
to see Mr.. Howard endorsed BY his
party At the primary election. for it
would be . compliment to Republican
editors, Is we'll q editions who uphold
the banner of Democracy, to have one
of the fraternity thus honored.
While the Republican members Of
the press will do what they can, in IN
honorable way, to defeat Mr.. Howard
at the polls and assist in the election
ton of Judge Boyd. the effort they
expect to make in this respect, will not
detract, in the least, the regard they
have for the Telegram editor as IN
able writer in the field Of journalism,
and Is man and citizen.
Mr.. Howard, the writer believes,
will be the successful candidate Of his
party At the primaries, and. in the
campaign that follows the Journal
will treat his candidacy in fair and
impartial manner, keeping in mind
that all the good is not to be found in
any one political party and all the bad
in another. Men may differ in politics,
but fairness and candor In discussing
political questions and due respect for
the opinions of those who differ with
you. are grounds upon which oil men
can stand regardless of their political
affiliations.
