dAcsd the subject Of good roads
AMI spoke forcefu1ly Of the
need of them, introducing Mr..
Seth Dean that he might ex-
plain how best to obtain them.
Mr.. Dean gave a very inter
esting and instructive talk on
roals, reviewing briefly the
history of railroading from the
beginning of civilization put
ting forth several good ideas
for the betterment of our roads:
detailing the monies paid into
the different road funds and
how they were spent; giving
much interesting data on road
building in Harrison County.
A general discussion then fol-
lowed and several interesting
talks were given.
Mr.. G. w. Kellogg followed
with a clear Interpretation Of
the new statutes regulating
city governments, explaining
how this legislation had been
brought about the good to be
derived and the evils guarded
against, closing with a strong
argument to the business men
to get together and make Of
Mo. Valley a better, richer,
cleaner city.
Mr.. J. S. Dewell followed
with an informal talk touching
several questions. Mr.. Dewell
recited the almost criminal
carelessness in past county of
fcials frit'ering away the
money wise legislature had
provided for the building Of |
good roads and which if proper
ly used would have saved 81
the work and worry of the prg

The Union Farmers club was
entertained on last Saturday
by Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Jones
at their beautiful country home
which has just been completed
at a cost of many thousands of
dollars. 1t is finished through
out with hard wood floors beau
tifully polished and covered
with elegant rugs Of the latest
patterns, heated with hot
water system, bath with hot
and cold water, in fact every
convenience that is found in a
modern home which proves that
MIR. Jones is a progressive
and up to date farmer and
thinks there is nothing to good
Tor his family if they do live
on farm. If the young men
who think itso dreadful to be a
farmer could visit the Jones
home and see the comforts and
independence the man on the
farm enjoys (the right kind of
farmer) he would say give me
the rural life in place of the
stuffed crowded city. Here's
hoping Mr.. and Mrs. Jones will
be permitted many years to
live and enjoy their lovely
home is the wish of one they
entertained.
Orlo Edgecomb was here ov-
er Sunday the guest of relatives.

RICH WOMAN FOUND
STARVING TO DEATH

New York, July 13.-Nurses in the
Kings Hospital in this city today
found thousands of dollars in cash,
bankbooks and jewelry concealed in
the garments of Elizabeth Donagan,
a servant, who was found starving to
death on the streets of Brooklyn. A
policeman was attracted to a thin,
half-clad and shivering little old wo-
man in a side street late at night,
and took her to the. station. There
an ambulance doctor said she was i'll
from starvation, and sent her to the
hospital. She protested as much as
her strength would permit against the
taking of her clothing from her. In
one garment the nurses found $3.50
in gold and silver money; 10 large un-
set diamonds, gold watch and chain
and other jewelry. In another gar
ment was sewn 5000 in bills and two
representing deposits of
more than $4,000.
The woman had worked as a fam
lily servant until she became i'll, and
then, having no home and failing to
provide herself with one, the police
say she wandered the streets until
she became weak from lack of food.

is QUICKLY CAUGHT

Vancouver, Wash, July 1S.-Harvey
Brown, IA years old, is confined in
the county Jail here charged with
horse stealing. He was brought from
battle-ground last night by Constable
George Gassaway. The boy has been
employed by NJ. C. Grover on his farm
near Brush Prairie and yesterday took
one Of Mr.. Growers horses and tried
to sell it, offering the animal and an
expensive saddle for $50. Failing to
find a buyer, he started, he said, for
Madras, Ore, where his father lives.
Mr., Grover secured the lad from the
boys and girls aid society in Port
land, week ago.
Young Brown tells a sensational
story of the death of his mother, who
he says, was killed by his father,
while in drunken rage. The lad told
Deputy Sheriff Johnson that if he
had secured a better start he would
have got away as he was headed for
the mountains, he said, when he was
arrested.

LONG LOST NORTHERN
EXPLORER is COMING

ottawa, Ont, July 13.-When that
intrepid explorer of Arctic regions,
George Caldwell of this city, returns
t. this city, as it now seems likely
that he may, from his far northern
journey, he should have a tale to un-
fold of adventure and discovery un-
surpassed by revelations of modern
geographical research.
DR. Caldwell has been mourned for
dead for practically three years. He
left the northwest mounted police sta
tion at Cape Fullerton, on Hudson
Bay, for trip across the untrodden
wilderness between that Arctic outpost
and the copper mine and Mackenzie
river. AS guides and companions he
had with him two trusty Eskimos, with
whom. a year previously, he had made
the memorable mid-winter journey
into the Arctic country.
on the present trip, his objective
was more or less obscure, but there
were rumors in Ottawa at the time
that discoveries of gold in fabulous
quantities had been made in the
country west of Chesterfield Inlet.

The annual report OF County
School superintendent Welles, which
Is TO be made in few days will
make a very good showing for the
cause Of education in Umatilla. When
one more small school district
makes its report, the superintendent
will have his report complete. This
will show that a greater proportion
of the number of persons Of school
age in the country have been attend
ing school this year than last, that
more teachers have been employed,
expended generally for educational
purposes.
District May Not Get Money.
The district whose officers have so
far failed to report is the Stewart
creek district near Pilot Rock. The
principal cause of the delay was the
removal from the district Of the
clerk. Unless the report is received
within a very short time, the district
will not receive any moneys from the
state or county fund this coming
year.

ceived from this one district, the su-
perlntendent's books show that there

ages enrolled in the schools OF the
county this year is 464O against
1897 last year or this number 1898
are males and 2247 are females. The

the ages of and years, is So; 6 and
8 years, 1145; 9 and IL years, 1927;
IL and IA years, 794, and between IA
and 20 years, 1862.
More Teachers Employed.
A total of 169 teachers were en-
ployed in the county and of this num-
ber only 81 were males. while 1873 |
were females. Last year only 1877 |

nations was 9S, of which so were
males and As females.
Nearly 100 Districts.
The report also shows that there
are 81 fully organized districts in
the county. The district created

JAPS AGAIN STRIKE
ON HAWAIIAN PLANTATION

Honolulu, July 13.-The Japanese
laborers on the Warminole planta-
tion Island of Oahu, numbering about
800, struck this morning because of
the refusal of Manager Jarrett to
grant their demand for the discharge
of five other japanese employees. Two
of the men who were discharged, it
is said, were assaulted and beaten in
the presence Of Manager Jarrett, who
had gone to the scene in an automo-
bile, and it is believed that numerous
arrests will be made. The strike is
understood not to be connected with
the others now on in various parts
of the islands. as the men have not
asked for higher wages.
