with carefully modulated tones Of
sympathy.

She smiled, but it was a weak refec-

The matter was taken under ad,

scarcely probable that the demands

Very few other objections were

SO CLAIM Mr.. AND MRS. WAIT.
MAN WADE, SUPPORT.
ERs OF DR.. COOK

Mr.. and Mrs. Waitman T. Wade of
447 Sixth street, Portland. are loyal
supporters of DR.. Cook in his claim
TO have reached the summit of Mount
Mckinley. They, with two others,
formed a party of prospectors who
were among the last to converse
with DR.. Cook prior to his attempted
ascent Of the peak on the southwest
ern side. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wade
are firm in their conviction that DR..
Cook and his party made the ascent
on the southeastern slope of Mount
Mckinley, after a futile attempt to
reach the summit on the west.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wade spent the en-
tire summer of 1906, respecting
along the southern base of Mount
Mckinley, they tell a Portland report
er. While searching for pay dirt"
about the foot of the mountain
they came upon DR.. Cook and his
party camred at Dutch Creek,

tain. This was on the afternoon of
July IA. 1906, according to entries
in a diary kept by Mrs. Wade of
her sojourn in the wilds near the
base of the mountain. Cook and his
party were then camped about 20
miles from Mount Mckinley and to
the southwest. After a few hours
visit in the Cook camp, during which
DR.. Cook expressed his determination
to reach the summit of the mountain,
the Wade party pressed on eastward.
According to statements of Mr..
and Mrs. Wade, verified by maps and
diary notes, the Wade party contin-
ued eastward, along the foot of the
mountain, for four weeks and event
ually reached the southeastern base

Regular train service will be put

OF the richest copper mines In the

the lack OF transportation.

company has let contract for the
completion OF the road from the

Oregon Gets Share
Of Irrigation Fund
Building Of Railroads viii Be Fol-
lowed, by Extensive Irrigation
Good Roads Associ station.

Portland, Oregon, Nov. 2.--Exten-
'lve irrigation works are likely to
ollow the railroads now being built
nto Central Oregon. Promised trans
>ortation for that section OF the
state has changed the irrigation poll
" of Secretary Ballinger and he will
AXE up various undeveloped projects
n Oregon with the Reclamation Ser
Iice in the near future.
Oregon will get It's full share Of
benefits under the National Recla-
nation Law, declares the Secretary
If the Interior. In addition to the
amounts heretofore allotted, this
state will be entitled to about S2.7o0,-
700 by 1912. Secretary Ballinger
plans to set to work on some OF the
ndeveloped projects in this state as
soon as the necessary funds become
available.
The building OF railroads into the
interior of the state make the semi
lrid districts accessible for reclama-
ion projects. Just what district will
be benefited first by new irriga-
ion works has not yet been announ-
ced.
Boys and girls OF Portland and vi
cinity have entered heart and soul In
70 a poultry raising movement fost-
cred by the local Y. NJ. G. A. About
1000 have Joined the Portland Ju-
nior Poultry association, practical
ly all being school children between
he ages of IL and IS. The associa-
ton has the hearty cooperation OF the
Oregon Agricultural College and the
department OF poultry husbandry OF
that institution has just issued a
bulletin announcing contest In poul-
try raising for which 5000 In cash
prizes has been offered. The first
prize is 500, the second $50, while
ten awards of IS each will also be
made. The contest opens November
1. The school children were inter
ested in poultry raising by the local
Y. NJ. C. A. because Of the health
full and profitable nature OF the work
md because the industry needs stim-
ulating in the Pacific Northwest, the
supply OF poultry and eggs In this
section being inadequate to meet the
demands.
Better roads for this state Is the
object OF the Oregon Good Roads AS
ocisation, formed here during the
past week with strong member
ship. The association will work for
good roads legislation, uniform plans
Of improvement throughout the state
and the collection OF money for road
building. 1t Is planned to collect a
fund OF $4,000 during the next two
years and engage a competent road
engineer who shall direct all road
work In the state. Much good is ex-
pected OF this association.
The Columbia river will be stocked
with Sockeye salmon as result OF a
visit during the past week OF Unit
ed States Fish Commissioner George
II. Bowers, OF Washington, d. G. He
has ordered the shipment OF 2,OOO,-
900 Sockeye eggs from the Yes
Bay, Alaska, hatchery to be delivered
to the Bonneville hatchery and the
oung fry will be turned into the Co
lumbia. During the past few years
the Sockeye has been growing scarce
in the Columbia but It is believed
that this fine variety OF CONNER
ciaI fish will be propagated in suf-
ficient quantities to meet the ravage
of the fishermen by restocking the
river.

ALCOHOL CAUSES GOUT.

OF all the articles of diet those
most likely to bring on gout are al
cOholic drinks OF I'll kinds, although
there are few ,laC are really COM
parGtively harmless in this respect,
such as whisky and light Rhine
wines. 1t may be noted in passing
that gout is comparatively uncom-
mon in Scotland and the Rhine
provinces, where, respectively,
whisky and light hooks are popular
ly consumed in preference to heavy
matted liquors. The late Sir AL
fred Garrod, who was an acknow-
lodged authority on gout, very
strongly expressed his opinion on
the part played by alcoholic drinks
in the production of gout in the
following terms: There is no truth
in medicine better established than
the fact that the use of fermented
liquors is the most powerful of all
the predisposing causes of gout;
nay, so powerful that it may be a
question whether gout would ever
have been known to mankind had
such beverages not been INDUCED
in"

Then you should also have iced

the tea and placed in the teapot

tea you must use large quantity
of dry tea and little water and chop

4 SUBSTITUTE FOR GLUE.

European organ manufacturers
have experienced the same difficulty
with the glue used to stick leather
and felt to wood in the manufac-
ture of pianos and organs that
American manufacturers have had
when shipping instruments to hot
climates, and it is said that they
discontinued the use of glue some
time ago and are now using a sub
ton. A repairer of organs and
pianos in Asuncion says that the
substitute used by continental or
gan manufacturers is a composition
of pitch and wax. This man en-
ploys pitch and wax as a substitute
for glue in sticking leather and felt
on wood in all his repair work, and
says that in his experience it has
proved to be most effective COM
position
For seating organ valves, the
composition of pitch and wax is
said to be very satisfactory 1t is
said that the leather will never
harden, but will remain pliau,e, yet
firm, and seat itself securely against
against the reed opening. The
composition is melted in a gluepot,
and will be hard or soft, according
to the proportion Of wax used. The
exact proportions may be determined
by few experiments. Either white
o. yellow wax may he used in the
composition.
