over to the other side. However, the
third man stood obdurate and when

rors, thereby making the decision
for conviction.

More Shipments TO BE Made.

Thirty-siX carloads of potatoes, the
largest single shipment ever made
from eastern Oregon, will be sent out
from Athena over the Northern Paci-
flee to Seattle this week. This ship
ment has been purchased for Seattle
buyers by d. B. Jarman, the mer-
chant of Athena and Weston, and will
practically clean up the famous Wes-
ton mountain district OF potatoes this
spring.
Mr.. Jarman has been engaged in
making the purchase for some time
and has finally secured enough to
make SO carloads, but will continue
to buy as long as there are any pota-
toes grown on the Westonmountain
potato ranches.
The Weston mountain potatoes ara
IN more brisk demand in the markets
of the northwest than those raised in
any other section of the country and
ar increased acreage will be planted
this year. IWWVW
The next largest shipment of pota-
tees to be sent out of the north inland
empire was a shipment of so carloads
sent out of North Yakima last fall.
However this far exceeds any pre-
vlous shipment ever made from east
ern Oregon. and places Umatilla in
the lead as the potato producing Sec
ton of Oregon.
The non-irrigated potatoes of Wes-
ton mountain have long been consid-
cred among the very best produced
ir the northwest and within the past
year this fact has been recognized in
all the market centers.

PIN PRICK CAUSES DEATH.
Popular Nurse in New York Hospital
Loses Life.

New York, April 2O.-One Of the
most popular and efficient nurses Of
the Riverside hospital, on North
Brother island, Miss May Belle Straw
mush, has given up her life to her
calling.
Riverside hospital is a city institu-
ton given over to the treatment Of
contagious diseases exclusively, and
about three weeks ago Miss Straw
muski was in charge of several pa
tients. She pricked her thumb with
safety pin in the apron of one Of
her patients, and at the time thought
nothing of it. In a very few days,
however, 1t developed that the pin
was badly infected, and Miss Straw
muskl was found to be suffering
with a violent attack of septicemia.
Ordinarily an operation on the in
iured thumb, or an amputation of the
arm. would have saved the life of the
sufferer, but in the case of Miss
Strawmuski, the poison had been so
vlrulent and had spread so rapidly
that all efforts to save her life prov
ed futile, and she died yesterday.

cussed the subject with members Of

TO be assured of having something to

malse every preparation possible, but

question to ask them to feed 500 to |

Farmers in that vicinity are urgen |
to come in with their teams on that
day to haul visitors out to the dam.
