Local Agent F. F. Schuyler of the
o. r. & N. has been authorized to
put the Meacham excursion rates for
the summer into effect May and
continue until September 26. The
rate for the round trip will be one
dollar, tickets being soId Sunday
mornings only and good only for the
date of sale.
These are the same rates and the
same conditions which have been in
effect during every summer for sew
eral years. It was reported, how
ever. that the railroad officials had
decided to abandon the plan this
summer. In response to a number of
inquiries. Mr.. Schuyler took the mat
ter up with the assistant general pas
senger agent with the result that he
has been autorized to begin the sale
of tickets the morning of the first
Sunday in May.
Scores of Pendleton people have
availed themselves of the opportu-
nifty thus offered of spending a Sunday
in the countains in the past and it is
expected that the number of excur-
sionists will be large this year. even
though the time at which the morning
train passes through Pendleton is not
nearly SO convenient as in the past
Those who enjoy fishing. however,
will not be daunted by the early hour
at which they will be compelled to
arise.

HEALTH HINT-THE
MIDDLE HORSE

A farmer, plowing with three l1ors-
es hitched abreast, noticed that the
middle horse became tired and ex-
'hausted long before either of its
mates. AS the animal was the equal
in every way of the other two, he
was puzzled as to the cause Of its not
being able to stand the same amount
Of work. He finally observed, how
ever, that as they drew the plow al
ong, the three horses held their noses
close together and with the result
that the middle horse was compelled
To breathe the expired air from its
fellows The farmer then procured
a long "jockey" stick, which he
fastened with straps to the bits Of
the outside horses. The device work.
ed perfectly; for, given its rightful
share Of good, fresh air, the middle
horse was able to do the same amount
OF work and with no greater fatigue
than its fellows.
Many persons are like the middle
horse; they do not get their rlghtful
share Of fresh, pure air. And this is
why they are not able to perform as
much work nor Of as good a quality
as they would otherwise be able to
do.-ChicabO Tribune.

Some Pendleton man or some men
acquainted with the businessmen and
business institutions of this city. has
worked clever swindling game in
Boise. By forging the name of A. C.
Ruby to check on the American Ma
tional bank of this city, the unknown
swindler secured 5000 diamond from
G. r. Green, a prominent jeweler in
the Idaho capital
The stranger gave the name of
Chris Mitchell and if caught he will
be prosecuted on the double charge
of forging the name of the prominent
horseman and also of swindling the
Boise business man. He is described
as being about so years of age and
weighing about 21O pounds; six feet
in height and slightly cross-eyed, one
eye being affected more than the
other He wears a small, slightly
gray moustache and wore nose
glasses.
The following concerning the swim
die is taken from a Boise paper;
"On April 6, a stranger in Boise,
whose name is said to be Chris Nit
chell, appeared at the Green jewelry
store and selected a ring valued at
$500, for which he rendered in pay
ment a check for $500. The check
purported to be signed by A. c. Ruby
and was drawn on the American Ma
tional bank of Pendleton. Green tele-
phoned the bank, asking if the check
was good, and was told that anything
Rubys name was signed to was good.
The check was accepted but when
sent to the Pendleton institution was
declared a forgery.
THE matter was given into the
hands of the police but efforts to To-
cate the swindles have so far failed
and it is believed he has passed on
to another town TO continue his op-
erations.
The man had a letter, written on
one of Ruby's letter heads and pur-
porting to contain Ruby's signature.
In the letter it was stated that Ruby
was enclosing a check for 5000, which
made the game an easier one for the
stranger to work successfully.
THE local police believe Mitchell
is one of a gang which is systemati-
cally operating throughout the north
west. The theory is advanced that
another member of the supposed gang
stole the check and stationary from
Ruby's office, wrote the letter and
signed the check after filling it in and !
mailed it to Mitchell in Boise"

EAST END LEADS
IN APPLE RAISING

That the east end of this county
raises better Winesap and Jonathan
apples than any other place in the
west is declared by H. A. Clemens
the well-known Milton realty man,
who has been in the city today
"At this time" says Mr.. Clemens,
1--WE probably haven't more than ten
orchards now bearing these varieties
of apples. Many of the orchards
were planted years ago before the
people learned what varieties they
could raise to the best advantage. 1t
has now been shown that the Wine
sap and Jonathans are the best varie-
ties to raise for commercial purposes.
So all are going into the raising of
these varieties. They have already
set out 100000 trees"
According to Mr.. Clemens some of
the orchards in the east end have
earned as high as s1400 per acre from
apples. When the section becomes
closer developed and establishes a
stronger reputation for uniformity,
cts, he believes the profits to grow
ers will be even greater than at pres
ent.
Land values in the east end are ad-
vancing rapidly, according to Mr..
Clemens, and he is enthusiastic over
the future outlook for that section

ENGLISH WOMEN ARE
EXPERT SWIMMERS

Seventy-four men and forty-three
women will receive awards of merit
in connection with the intermediary
examination of the Royal Life-Sav-
| ing society of London. The intermed-
iary represents a step to the gaining
of the diplomas, tremendous test of
the swimmers aquatic powers, and Il
does not follow that those who have
gained the one will attempt the 9TH
er.
The examination in swimming con-
sists of various difficult tests. Among
other things the candidate for honors
has to jump into the water fully
dressed except for hat and shoes and
rescue a person, carrying him twenty
yards in the water. Candidates must
also swim 900 yards fully dressed,
must give examples of various strokes,
must undress on the surface of the
water, dive and perform other feats.
In the case OF woman sne must
take off corsets, blouse, skirt and
stockings while in the water and then
in her swimming costume pass the
other tests.
The increasing love of swimming
among English women is not confin-
ed to women of one class Femininity
in all ranks of society now favor It as
an excellent exercise. Several wo-
mems clubs have swimming tanks,
and the Bath club makes a special
feature of lessons and exhibitions of
this form of sport.
The swftest swimmers are to be
found among the North country fac
tory girls, and the teacher in charge
of the intermediary examination as
cribes this to the fact that their daily
work involves in many cases a good
deal of use of the muscles of the arms
and also to the fact that the streets
in a mill town are not so bright and
attractive on the winter nights as
those Of the metropolis, while the
baths are warm and well lighted and
offer a strong attraction, with the
result that she becomes a proficient
swimmer.
Age does not seem to affect swim
ming ability, and the team of women
at swimming club counted 210 years
as their united age. There were only
four of them and they were the cham
pion team of the club.--New York

Carl ISLE SCHOOL RUNNER
IS ANOTHER Willie DAY

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-One hun
dred and seven pounds of red
skin took Madison Square garden
by storm, when Lewis Tewanima,
the Carlisle school runner, beat
; Jimmie Lee. Tewanima ran 10
miles in the unheard of indoor
time of ga minutes and 81 sec
.onds, and the way he did 1T is
what set the crowd wild.
The scene as Tewanima cut
down Lees lead by repeated
sprints was remarkable. Lawyers,
merchants and business men stood
: shoulder to shoulder and cheered
1 the game little fellow on.
The Indian ran a sane race and
won. During the first five miles
Lee repeated the performance that
beat him in the 10-mile champion
ship last fall. He ran like de-
mon and those who tried to stick
with him were killed off in a
hurry. At five miles Lee had a.

and did not worry up to the half
way mark. Here he passed Te-
WANNA the word and the dusky
runner responded with a sprint
that carried him past half dozen
runners. After that he never let
up. Tireless and merciless he
squirmed through the big field.
At first Lee matched sprint for
sprint. but Tewanima doubled his
spurts in speed and length. Hes
gaining! Come on you, Lewis!"
they shrieked. The further he
went, the stronger the Indian
seemed. At seven miles he sprint
ed for 200 yards. That did the
business Lees cork was pulled.
In another half mile Tewanima
was at Lees heels.
Warner had to point out Lee as
the man Tewanima had to beat, so
confused was the Indian by pass
ing SO many men, and without nod
or smile the aborigine went after
the Bostonian. A roar went up as
Tewanima sneaked past Lee, and
the Indian responded with a squirt
that carried him 80 yards clear.

sumed the pace, but Tewanima

and the next ball had to be a
strike, or the man would walk.
Pink tipped the signal and Hen
bricks lined up and the pitcher
let go with a slow sidearm sweep.
The ball was floater, and as it
ambled to the plate deliberately
1t gradually assumed the form of
a big thick pancake. The batter
swung and missed.
The manager roared that the
ball had been tempered with, but
the umpire examined it and de-
clared it perfect. You see, when
he caught the ball, Lawson
stepped out of the line of resist
ance and the ball Immediately re-
sumed its normal shape. In the
eighth, with three men on, no one
out, and the best batters coming
up, the three again lined up and
the next three men famed. You

get their eye on the ball and
whale away, only to miss 1t, as
1t lost its shape and flattened out.
