Report That Deal Has Been Closed
for Line to NcZ Pcrce.
A dispatch from Nez Perce says a
report is again prominent here that
Nez Perce is to get a railroad and
activities in the way of real estate
purchases and inquiries relative to
the same the past few days are accre-
dited to INSIDE" knowledge that
plans have already been completed
for supplying this section with trans
portation through a branch line that
will leave the Culdesac-G -Grangeville
road at point near Ilo.
Whether the real estate deals are
being made in connection with the
purchase for grounds for depot and
yard facilities or whether for spe-
culation reports do not disclose. Well
known Nez Perce men are interested
in the deals and are directing same.
The development Is believed to be the
outgrowth of a move made here two
months ago, when steps were taken
to orgaize a company to build the
branch line. II was stated at that
time that the Northern Pacific was
back Of the move. Now 1t is rumored
that both the Northern Pacific and
o.. r. & N. are in the deal and that
the branch will be built in connection |
with the general Joint construction
agreement under which the roads are
in this field. This report is |
to the effect that a branch will also
be built to the Craig mountain sec
ton.

Milton. June 5.-Milton's strawber-

day paid Milton some very flattering
compliments on the excellent fruit

the singing at the grove was also very
credtable. There were Strawberries
for everybody
The tables were decorated with
peonas and roses, making a most
beautiful appearance under the green
trees. This is without doubt one OF

sion. Milton will continue to make

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
Pulls so Hard on the Stomach It Must
Have Help.


The stress and strain OF the strenu-
GUS life in both city and country makes
stomach troubles. Five people suffer
today where one did 10 years ago with
sick headache, dizziness, flatulence,
distress after eating, specks before the
eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleepless-
ness and the many other symptoms Of
Indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out Of three in Pendleton and other
towns, should use Mi-o-ni stomach
tablets. Nothing else Is as safe, yet
effective; nothing else can be SO thor
oughly relied upon to relieve all trou-
bles from indigestion as Mi-o-na.
SO reliable is Mi-o-ra that Tallman
& Co. with every 60-cent box they
sell. give guarantee to refund the
money unless the remedy cures. ~

Women and Music Making.

Strange it is there are not more wo-
men composersi One does not expect a
woman to be a Wagner or Chopin or
Beethoven, but 1t would seem She

love songs. True, there is Chaminade
but she is peculiar TO herself and mere
" the exception proving the rule Wo
mans love of the beautiful finds ex
preston ia almost every other way
possible to man. She paints and writes
and sculps and plays and sings. But
In music she practically is mute. Can

monopoly of musical production in man
as well as in birds? Yet the few wo-
men who have been composers have
acquitted themselves creditably In
their respective lines.

How to Wash SILK.

In washing silk there are four things
which must be avoided, and they are
soap. heat, rubbing and wringing.
Have the water lukewarm. Make q
lather with a little dissolved soap If
the garment is dirty. If the article
is not soiled much. use bran water.
Don't ever allow soap in a lump to
come in contact with silk. Take one
end of the article and swish it around
and around until it is clean. Rinse it
in cold water to which vinegar has
been added. Add one tablespoonful Of
vinegar to one quart of water. Place
the garment between dry cloths and
squeeze, preferably between wiring
er. Then shake well to get rid of all
superhuous moisture and iron at once
through tissue paper with warm
iron.

How to Sweep a Room.

When starting to sweep a room get
everything out of the way that you
can Lift the end of the curtains If
they are Of material that is apt to
catch the dust Put aside any articles
of clothing that may be lying about
and pick up from the floor shoes.
stools. paper basket and the like. Now
start with clean. even stroke of the
broom or sweeper and sweep the floor
in sections. When using the broom.
direct the sweeping on one point, door
sill. center of the room, or chimney.
and gather with Whisk brush into
the dustpan. An ordinary clothes
brush will prove very useful in clean
ing places under furniture where the
whisk is too large to work well. In
very small rooms crowded with furni-
ture It is often difficult to avoid hitting
the walls and windows with the han
die Of the broom. This difficulty may
be overcome by using small whisk
broom such as the children play with.
1t is much handler than large one
in a narrow space. Ii the floor is bare
or covered with center rug. first
sweep the rug, then fold 1t back at the
edges and wrap your broom in flannel.
Now wipe up the bare parts of the
floor with the broom thus covered and
you will get them perfectly clean.

Marriage as an "indirect InfIu-

No woman can occupy any official
position whatever in the state of Lou

appointed in state hospitals or insane
asylums, nor can the trained nurses

their profession. Louisiana women

ANIMAL LEGENDS.
The Buzz Of the Mosquito and the
Swallows Forled Tail.

swallows Forked II all.
In Palestine. where several religions
exist side BY side, legends have crossed
and intermingled In such way as to
make distinct folklore A collection
Of stories from Folklore In the Holy
Land" BY the Rev. j e. Hanauer,
contains many Bible legends in new
forms and with humorous additions.
One explains how the mosquito came
70 buzz and why the swallows tail is
forked
After the fall of man the serpent
missed the reward which the evil one
had promised im--nameIy, the sweet
est food in the world An angel was
appointed to assign to every creature
his food and dwelling place The SER
pent asked for human flesh. But Adam
protested and pointed out shrewdly
that as nobody had ever tasted human
flesh 1t was impossible to maintain
that it was the most luscious of food
Ihus he gained a years respite for the
race
Meanwhile the mosquito was sent
round the world with instructions to
taste and report upon the blood of ev-
cry living creature. At the end of
twelve months it was to report in open
court the result of its researches.
Now. Adam had friend in that sa-
cred bird the swallow. which annually
makes a pilgrimage to Mecca and all
holy places. This bird Swallowed the
mosquito all the twelve months until
the day of the decision. Then as the
insect was on its way to the court the
swallow met it openly and asked what
flesh and blood it had found sweetest.
Mans, replied the mosquito.
WHAT asked the swallow. please
say it again. for | am rather deaf
On this the mosquito opened its
mouth wide TO shout. and the swallow
darted in its bill and plucked out the
insects tongue.
They then proceeded to the court,
where all living creatures were assem-
hled to hear the decision. On being
asked the outcome of its investigation
the mosquito. which could now only
buzz. was unable to make itself under
stood. and the swallow, pretending to
be its spokesman, declared that the
insect had said that it had found the
blood of the frog the most delicious.
Sentence was therefore given that
frogs. not men. should be the serpents
food
In its rage and disappointment the
serpent darted forward to destroy the
swallow. But the bird was too quick
the serpent succeeded only in biting
some feathers out of the middle of the
swallows TAIL
This is why swallows have forked
tails
