d. b. Hickey was upirom Rich Hill
Tuesday evening. Mr.. Hickey In
formed us that the ditch being dug
in the Marais DIES Cygne bottom did
much good during the recent high
water. Two miles northwest OF Rich
Hill the water lacked eight feet OF be-
iug as high as it has been before,
while five miles down the ditch the
water WAS the highest ever known.
The cause OF this is that the ditch
flooded east OF Rich Hill, the ditch
not yet being completed to the Usage
river, thus causing the overflow. He
said the water was simply a torrent,

IRRIGATED LAND

AND CONTRACTS FOR MORE
Representative Of Oregon Fruit Com
pany Closes Deal for Land Under
Furnish Ditch--M0del Orchard VIII
BE Put Out This Fall-Suprised to
Find Ripe Cherries May 21--Pub-
lie VIII Be Taken to Project Free.

d. B. Costume, manager OF the
Furnish Coe Land Co., has just closed
a contract with George c. Sinton. rep
resenting the oregon Fruit Co., OF
Billings, Montana, for so acres of un-
improved land, at 3125 an acre.
Sinton has spent some 10 days go
ing over every portion of the project
and the company he represents is 60
ing to put in a model fruit orchard this
fall.
In addition to this sale, Sinton has
also signed a contract for 100 acres
OF improved land at $3.50 an acre, and
has posted a forfeit as an option on
$50 acres additional of unimproved
land, at $125 an acre. He represents
some wealthy capitalists of Seattle and
Ireland, and his belief in the future
of the Furnish-Coe land is so strong
that all OF this land will be put into
fruit this coming fall.
Sinton states: II could not have
been more surprised II I had found
a gold mine when l came across and
ate ripe cherries half a mile from the
Furnish-Coe project. This was the
most convincing proof as to the value
have received Any climate and soil
that will produce ripe cherries ready
for market on the 21st day OF May
looks like a bonanza to me and have
been ovar ave,v project In Idaho,
Washington and Oregon"
Cos.uma states that he has closed
contract with two men In Walla
walla for a 35-acre tract, which is
going to be turned into a nursery.
At present the Furnish-Co people
have disposed OF almost 1900 acres
of land in two months and Costume
states they will increase the price of
sale to $3.50 an acre before the middle
of June. They are very much en-
couraged by the success met with,
and they consider that the ripe cher
ries found yesterday on not one but
several trees, speaks more strongly In
favor of the rich soil and climate of
Umatilla county than anything that
might be said.
The Columbia Land Co. proposes
to invite the people of Pendleton and
Eastern Umatilla county to go to
Echo on a special train at the COM
pany's expense during early July,
when the people of the county will
be able to see 1000 acres under culti-
walton as a result Of two months
work. The watermelons and sweet
corn will then be ripe and the west
ern end of the county will have dem
onstrated beyond doubt the richness
of its productive qualities.

PRETTY POSTMISTRESS AIRED
PARSONS LOVE AFFAIRS

Read Love Letters and Then Told the
the GOssips, Who Did the Rest.
Chicago, May 21-Mlss Anna B.
Whitmore, the pretty postmistress of
the village of Gray's Lake, will be
given hearing today by the federal
authorities on a charge of tampering
with mail that pessed through her
hands.
It is not alleged that the fair
guardian of Uncle Sans mails was
actuated by motives of cupidity, but
rather that a natural feminine curl
osity in the love affair of local par
son led to her arrest. The Rev. Mr..
Havenor of Gray's Lake, is the COM
planning witness.
Parson Havenor declares that his
engagement to Mary Calvin Of Fort
Wayne, although supposed to be a
profound secret, leaked out In Grays
lake and was known to every gossip
in the village.
Everywhere he went, asserts the
parson. he was greeted with grins and
giggles and many people favored MIN
with exact quotations from the loving
letters that passed daily between him
and his financee.
At last, says the preacher, he was
told that the postmlstress was spread
ing the information about his love af-
fair, and he appealed to the postal
authorities to put stop to such pro-
cedings. An investigation by postof-
flee inspectors and the arrest of Miss
Whitmore followed.
It is not known what plea the alleg-
ed trifler with Cupid will make when
the case ls called for hearing today.

Deputy Game Warden Writes 20 East

Henry Laztnka Killed Two Cougars
Near Ukiah-Big Cats Had Killed

The East Oregonlan received the
following interesting letter from Fat
Turner. deputy game warden. who is
now hunting in the south part of the
county, and who with Henry Lazinka
killed two monster cougars In Camas
Prairie this week. Mr.. Turner says:
Mel Shutrum and wife and myself
and wife have been stopping at Henry
Lazinka's place in Camas Prairie for
several days and have some exciting
times This week while out hunting
for bear we found where something
had killed a four-year-old buck deer
and had dragged 1t up steep hill for
200 yards. On examining the ground
we found that the deer had been kill
ed by a cougar and we made up our
minds to Get Mr.. Cougar.
Henry Lazinka and myself went out
one evening at o'clock to watch
and kept watch all night in a drizzling
rain, changing off with each other
every two hours during the night.
However. the cougars did not come
back and we stayed all next day and
the next night until about o'clock
in the morning when they appeared
cautiously creeping toward the deer's
carcass.
I tell you they looked big and saw
age with their eyes shining in the
moonlight and it was a sight a man
will not often see in a lifetime. We
each selected a cougar and counted
three and fired and killed both ami
mails at the first shot.
IT was a long watch of about 36
hours in drizzling rain and snow, but
