Pupil in Hartford School Told How
to Use Il.

Several years ago when Miss Agnes
Shipman was teaching at the
Brown school of Hartford, one of the
pupils in her room wrote the follow
ing composition:
If had $500 | would put 1t in the
bank. | would leave it there for one
year. At the end of the year
would have $500, because they give
. per cent interest. For fifty-two
cents | would buy school supplies at
G. Fox & company's where they are
sold the cheapest. would buy a
pair of school shoes for 50 at Sim
mons & company's. They have very
good shoes there. would read the
advertisements in the Hartford Times
and find out where suits are sold
the cheapest and are the best. /
would buy at that place a suit for Sc.

rests upon congress to make appro-

bier for a Thanksgiving dinner was
the condition Of one man found in
the lumber yards yesterday evening
by Yardmaster Thompson, says the
Baker City Herald.
1t was a case of to much celebration
and falling in company with friends
who were not good Samaritans, for
they took his money, his jewelry and
his clothing, all save his shoes and
shirt. And, worse than all, they left
him in an unconscious condition.
When Yardmaster Thompson report
ed to the chief that official replied.
did you search him ?" search him
be DANCED" said Thompson. "and
sure the task would have been a light
one, for he had nothing on to search"
And then Thompson informed the
chief that if such cases were going
to be frequent he would have a reso-
luton introduced at the council meet
ing authorizing the proper authori-
ties to invest in a supply Of fig
leaves.

BURNED 200 ACRES.
Smut Fire Caused Immense Damage
Near Waitsburg.

Instantaneous combustion caused
the loss of threshing machine owned
by Frank McGhee and 200 acres OF
standing grain on the Minnlck broth
ers' farm near Waitsburg yesterday,
says the waila walla Union.
Before any OF the crew were aware
that the separator was on fire the
whole thing was a mass of flames,
which quickly spread to the surround
ing wheat.
After a few minutes of futile fight
against the spreading disaster men,
bers OF the crew gave up attempts
to check the blaze. The hot, dry
weather OF the past few weeks had
made the grain as dry as tinder and
1t went as II fed by OIL
The grain destroyed was OF first
grade quality and was estimated to
yield 80 bushels an acre. Te entire
loss is placed at about $4,000. which
Is partially covered by insurance.

DEwEY's GUNNER KILLED.
A Manila Bay Hero Shocked to Death
by Electricity.

New York, Aug Thames O'Con-
nell, who is said to have been chief
gunner on Admiral Dewey's flagship
Olympia at the battle of Manila, was
killed by electricity yesterday while
he was lying on his back making re-
pairs to the channel wall beneath the
tracks on Sixth and Greenwich ave-
nue..
He had been at work in the conduit
about fifteen minutes when the fore
man heard a cry, and, peerlng into
the manhole, saw that something had
happened to o'Copnell. An ambu-
lance surgeon said that death had
been instantaneous.
1t was half an hour before the body
could be lifted to the street, and
north bound car traffic was tied up
for that length of time. The back Of
O'Connell's neck was badly scared,
and as the bottom Of the duct was
covered with water 1t is thought that
a short circuit was the cause Of his
death.
O'Connell left the navy recently
and had intended returning to 1t in
a month, it Is said. He lived at Ma.

FEATURES Of THE
PRESENT HARVEST
SURPRISINGLY HEAVY
YIELDS ON LIGHT LAND.
Present Estimates Indicate That O..
r. & Ms Wheat Shipments VIII Be
Cut in Two While Northern Paci-
fic VIII Have Nearly Normal
Amount OF Grain to Handle.

AS harvest progresses in Umatilla
county several extraordinary features
are noticed by close observers. One
OF the most surprising features of the
present season is the heavy yields on
the light land in the north and north,
west portions of the county and the
reduced yields Of the heavier land in
the center OF the wheat belt.
1t is now estimated that the o. R.
& N. which penetrated the heart OF
the wheat belt, will have but half of
fits usual tonnage Of wheat this sea-
son from Athena. Weston, Adams.
Eastland and other shipping points.
while the Northern Pacific, which
penetrates a lighter son district,
will have fully 75 per cent of its usu-
al tonnage.
AS the harvest progresses In the
northwest part OF the county the
yield Of the light land Is surprising
and proves conclusively that the
lighter soil will produce a crop under
great difficulties, as but very little
rain has visited that portion Of the
county this season.
Also the weight of the grain is
surprising While the yield has been
cut down somewhat, the wheat tests
All the way from 2s to so pounds per
bushel.

APPLE CROP WILL BE BIG.
WaIla Walla Orchards Expected 70
Yield 100000 Boxes,

Walla Walla, Aug 12.-Although In
point Of quantity the apple crop Of
this valley will not be much greater
this year than that OF last year, the
excellent quality of the 1908 fruit will
have a tendency to boost prices and
cause a demand Figures OF railroad
officials show that last years pro-
duct aggregated $4,000 boxes, about
half that amount having been shipped.
The estimate OF this year is placed
considerably higher, and in the neigh
borhood OF 500, 900 boxes will be har-
vested. Fruit growers have paid spe-.
cial attention to spraying this sea-
son, and as result one of the finest
crops ever seen in this section will
son be ready for pickers.

Seattle, Aug. 12.-There promises

WaIla Walla, the Garden City OF
homes, has found formaldehyde in
her milk supply and at least one baby
has died from the effects of the poi
son, according to the Union. The
Union says:
NOne child is thought to have died
and several others to have been pois-
oned in Walla Walla during the past
10 days from drinking "doctored''
milk. City Health Officer A. E. Bra
den has been quietly investigating
the circumstances for several days
and now has discriminating evidence
against the proprietor of at least
one dairy.
During the hot summer months II
IL extremely difficult to preserve milk
while delivering it from the farm to
patrons and several of the largest
dairies have placed ice tanks in their
wagons in which to keep their cans
while on the road.
In this manner milk can be kept
for several hours and, when placed
in a refrigerator, indefinitely. But
this necessarily requires added work
and expense and one dairy man has
preserved his milk by putting into
each can per cent of chemical pre-
paration containing for the most part
fcrmaldehyde.
Although this is penitentiary Of
fense. it is positively known that one
dsiryman at least, has doctored his
product in this manner during the
past week.
Health OFFICER Barden has been
watching and making tests for sew
eral months of all milks sold in tho
city but until recently he has found
nothing impure. Samples were taken
from the wagons aud also from guam
titles delivered in various parts of
the city.
In this way accurate tests were
made OF all milks sold, without the

might have been able to hide any
inconsistencies II they knew samples

Frequently when they have been

when tested is classed number one.

Shall the People Rule?

Our platform declares that the
Overshadowing issue which manifests
itself in all the questions now under
discussion is "Shall the people rule"
No matter which way we turn, no
matter to what subject we address
ourselves, the same question con-
fronts us, Shall the people control
their own government and use that
government for the protection of their
rights and for the promotion OF their
welfare? Or shall the representatives
OF predatory wealth prey upon a de-
fenseless public, while the offenders
secure immunity from subservient Of
ficlals whom they raise to power by
unscrupuleus methods? This is the
issue raised by the unknown abuses"
to which MI Taft refers.
