The Umatilla ranch, formerly the
@. w. Hunt ranch. near Foster, Is to
be placed upon the market and It's
$500 acres OF bottom land sold out In
small tracts. 1t will mean another
colonization project for the west end
of the county and since the land Is
already under cultivation 1t will un-
doubtedly prove a popular one.
The announcement that the Una
tilla ranch is to be colonized was
made this morning by James Johns,
of the Hartman Abstract company,
who will be the Pendleton sales agent
for the company. Another office will
be maintained at Echo by Louis
Scholl. jr., while w. II. Daughtrey
win have the Portland end OF the
business,
The Umatilla ranch has $500 acres
of first class fruit and alfalfa land,
all fenced and under cultivation, The
land Is well watered from a private
ditch from the Umatilla river. Part
OF the land is already set out in
fruit trees, but the bulk of the ranch
has been used for raising alfalfa,
1t has been used as a stock feeding
ranch by the Portland stockyards
company. Last year 1000 tons OF al
faifa were raised upon the ranch. The
ranch lies about a mile from Foster
station, elk miles from Hermiston and
IL four miles from Echo.
According to the present owners of
the big ranch they have found It is
impracticable for them to properly
farm such a vast acreage OF irrigated
land and as a result have decided up
on the colonization scheme. The
land will be offered In tracts OF five
acres up and at prices ranging from
800 to $3.50 per acre. AS an in
vestment they claim their proposition
cannot be beaten. for they say that
the land cannot help doubling In val
ue.

Is Historic Ranch

The Umatllla. or Hunt. ranch was
secured by @ w. Hunt In early days.
In the early sixties Mr.. Hunt freight
ed between Umatilla and Boise and
his attention was attracted to the
rich land now under the ranch
through the fact that the Indians
used the place as a winter camping
ground. because OF the mild climate
and the rich pasturage.
In later years after Mr.. Hunt had
led a busy life as railroad builder
he purchased the ranch and held 1t
until about two years ago, at which
time It was sold to the present own
ers for price said to have been $75.-
900.

AN IDAHO TOWN WIPED OUT.
Forest Fires Cause Destruction of

Sand Point, Ida. Aug. 13.-With the wind blowing a gale and the adjacent town of Kootenai wiped out. it seems that no power can save Sand Point Al six o'clock Tuesday evening a small forest fire north of Kootenai was blown into the town and the town of 300 inhabitants was burned to the ground. The Humbird Lum. Der company had a s200.000 mill at kootenai which burned to the ground and was only partly insured At pres. ent the fire is within 2,000 feet of the Pan Handle shelter, which seems domed. The homeless people of the little hamlet of Kootenai have been brought here and are being cared for by citizens All of them lost their be iongings. Over 500 volunteers are fighting the approaching flames. Sand Point has a population of about 10.- coo An appeal has just been sent to the Spokane fire department for ai1

Give the Babies Pure Water.

Dr. w. A. Evans, Chicago com missioner of health, gives advice to mothers of that city, all of which will apply just as much to Polk coun- ty, Ark. Here it is:
 When baby is cross and fretful don't be to nasty with the milk bot tie. A drink of pure water is better Tn hot weather.
 When baby is good and crows happily, while he tells in the sign language that something is wanted, try good pure water in hot weather.
 When baby awakes and begins to gurgle and blink, don't get ex- cited and force the milk bottle upon it, All baby wants is few swal- lows of good, satisfying pure water.
 When baby is thirsty, water will quench the thirst better than milk and with less danger in hot weather
 Use milk sparinely in hot weath- CT and only milk that is absolutely fresh and pure. Don't use rich milk during hot weather.
 Too much food in hot weather is decidedly improper. Use only food that has been intelligently prepared, fresh and free from bacteria.

WILL FIGHT CANNON
METHoDIsTs BEGIN AN ACTIVE CRUSADE AGAINST SPEAK
 FER OF THE HOUSE.
AN OFFICIAL ADDRESS HAS BEEN ISSUED
Churchmen Claim That Mir. Cannon Has Been Holding Up Liquor Ship ment Bills for Past Five Years Methodist Church Has Over 3,o0o,- coo Communiesnts.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 14.-The
 Methodist Episcopal church has be gun an active crusade for the election of a speaker of the house of represen
 tatives who will allow congress to vote on the interstate liquor ship ment bill'' The church. which has over 3.00o.000 communicants. has created the Temperance Society of the Methodist Episcopal church. with authority to represent the denomina. ton in all temperance matters. This society is managed by board com posed of a bishop and 15 members named by the bishop and elected by the late general conference. The board of managers has organized and directed it's chairman to take steps to begin an active campaign. An official address has been issued to all mem bers of the denomination asking their cooperation The shipment bills' which has been pending in congress for at least five years, does not seek to impose prohibition on any locality, but provides that liquor shipped from one state to another shall immediate ly upon crossing the boundary become subject to the laws of the state into which 1t is consigned.
 "The speaker of the house of repre- sentatives," says the address, "abso- lutely controls it's proceedings. He is opposed to this legislation. He has used the power of his office to hold it in the judiciary committee appoint ed by him on the alleged ground that it Is unconstitutional Our church by action of the recent general confer ence insists that congressional doubt as to the constitutionality of such leg islation be resolved in the interests of the people and the public morals and that the general conference unani- mously adopt the report of Gov. Han leys special committee appointed to wait upon Speaker Cannon which closes with the following words; We submit to our people and to all good citizens the wisdom of electing men as members of congress who believe in its validity and who are willing to enact it.
 At least one member of the house judiciary committee has been dereat. ed for the nomination on his record on this question and we believe that the time has come when our people who want to help secure this legisla- tion must support for congress candi- dates who will not only vote for this measure if they get chance. but will themselves support for speaker a man who will allow 1t to be voted upon and that it's passage is improbable until Christian voters recognize the situation and cast their ballots ac- cordingly."

Chairman Hitchcock and Arthur vorys Spend Day at Hot Springs, Va.-Mr. Taft Will Not Mix Up I Any Local Political Contrution-A Few Speakers Announced.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 14.-" Every thing was as harmonious as possible, and no one was laid across my knee and spanked"
 This was Judge Taft's genial re- mark Wednesday night in concluding a detailed account of his allday con ference with Frank H. Hitchcock, Re publican national chairman, and Ar thur I. Vorys, his chief of staff.
 Chairman Hitchcock announced after the first conference, which continued for three hours, that it could be stated in a formal and official manner that Mir. Taft would make no speeches outside the city of Cincinnati during the campaign. On his way from Hot Springs to Cincinnati the last of the month, MT. Taft will make side trir in Ohio, the arrangements for which have been completed, but the details are withheld for the present No pc litical speeches will be made on this trip. It was also officially announced that MT Tart would continue the pol icy he had already adopted and fol lowed, of not mixing in local political contentious in any state, or of taking any part whatever in behalf of any candidate for nomination for state ed as an answer first to the demand that Mir. Taft decide the merits of the contestants in the West Virginia split and second, that he express a preference for or against Gov. Hughes in the New York state gubernatorial situation. Taking up the narrative of the days work, MT. Taft said:
 We went over the situation in every state where it Is recognized that a vigorous campaign must be made Particular attention was given to Maine and Vermont, not because of any doubt as to the situation in these states, but because the election is held earlier than in other states. Gov. Hughes, 1t was stated, undoubt- edly would be one of the speakers in these two states, in addition to his acceptance of an invitation to open the Ohio campaign at Youngstown, September 5. Secretary James Will son. of the department of agriculture, has consented to speak in Vermont and Maine, likewise Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor, and Rev. pr.
