Case Where Strange
Dream Came True
San Francisco Woman Dreams of
Her Er-thers Death and the
Cre:m Comes True.

A special from Eugene to the La
Grande Star dated September 8,
gives a peculiar case of telepathy
as follows:
The body of Charles Jessie, who
was instantly killed at the Paye
brickyard west of town last Thursday
by the caving in of a bank of clay,
lies at Gordon's undertaking rooms
, and his comrade, Mr.. McAuley, has
been telegraphing brother at Rose
Vlile, Cal, OF the accident and want
ing to know what to do with the
remains. The kilograms were report
ed undelivered as the brother is
travel ing man and was off in New
Mexico.
On Sunday evening Chief of Police
harrington received a letter from
Mrs. |. Kimmers of Apartment l,
1850 Stanyan street, San Francisco,
saying her brother Charles Jessie
had left for Eugene some time be-
lore and on Friday night she had
had dream tn t he had been badly
hurt. The dream ma ie such a vivid
impression on her mind that she
wrote letter to the chief, partic-
ularly describing the young man,
whom she says. was "six feet tall,
with fair complexion, red cheeks,
blue eyes and curly hair and fine
looking boy" and putting a special
delivery stamp on the outside and
enclosing 2-cent stamp for a reply
and especially asking the chief to
look the young man up and let her
know of his whereabouts. The de.
scrlrtlon Tailed exactly with that of
the young man who was killed and as
she had no means of knowing about
the accident, her dream Is remark
able. 1t Is another evidence that will
go far to prove there Is something
in telepathy,
Undertaken Corden at once wired
her the news o. her brothers terri
Bile accident and in short time re-
ceived a reply asking him to hold she
body until the brother who was off
on the road could be reached by wire
which he Is doing.

SPANGL BANNER

TWO AMERICAN EXPLORERS
FIND NORTH POLE-CON-
TRovERSY OPENED.

Co1k and Peary, two American
explorers claim the honor of discov
ering the North pole, the goal for
800 years of scientific geographical
exploration.
1t is to be regretted that the claim
of either should be repudiated before
they have been given a chance to
be substantiated.
Peary frankly gives the lie to
Cooks discovery, in a dispatch to
the associated press. On the other
hald Cox when informed of Peary's
achievement remarked 81 an glad of

is too bad that a controversy should
arise that will in any way mar the
nome coming after the months of
exile in the far icy north. There is
glory enough for two to share.

NORTHWEST'S GREAT
FARMING FUTURE
AGRICULTURE SHARPS SURPRIS.
ED AT SOILS WEALTH.
PRESIDENT TAFT's VISIT.

Portland, Sept. 7.-Impressed with
the future of the Pacific Northwest
in agriculture, delegates to the
national convent IN of the Associa-
tion of American Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment Stations have
returned home after holding a weeks
convention in Portland Those in at.
tendance expressed themselves as
surprised at the manifest agricultural
wealth here. The fertility of the
soil and the pro ;ress made in agri-
culture aroused much comment. The
visitors were enabled to see various
parts Of the state by special train
as guests of the Portland Commercial
club. So highly pleased were they
that the excursi onists passed a reso-
luton of thanks to their entertainers
and spoke in very high terms of the
country inspected. Since the visit
ors are hard headed scientists who
are not given to making unwarrant--
ed statements, their opinions for the
Northwest and its future in agricul-
ture may be taken seriously, These
were nothing short of glowing. The
fertile soil; the favorable climate;
organization and intelligence Of the
farmers here and their successful
methods, and rich opportunity for
those who undertake agriculture in
this favored section of the country,
all were spoken of by the visitors
Their favorable opinion is certain to
be productive of much good, for
these men are in touch with large
numbers of farmers who are looking
for new locations, as we'll as thous-
ands of students who are studying
scientific agriculture and who are on
the lookout for gcod farm lands,
The Senate irrigation committee is

WAR ON PRAIRIE DOGS
TO BE CONTINUED IN 1910

Mlssoula, Sept. 6.-The govern
ment's work in poisoning prairie dogs
on infested stock ranges In this
National Forest district has had re-
suits this year which forest officers
have decided warrant its continuance
in 1910. For two years systematic
efforts upon an extensive scale have
been made by the Forest Service In
cooperation with the stockmen, to
rid the National Forest range in
Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico
of these pests, but this work was not
undertaken in the Northwest until
the spring of 1903.
Eastern Montana and the Dakotas
seem to be the worst-infested portion
of this district. The National Forest
areas of these regions are compare
lively small, but In some instances
colonies or towns OF these animals
cover an area of several hundred
acres and the native forage plants
have been greatly Injured, while some
range areas outside the forests have
been practically devastated.
In the spring OF the present year
small allotments of funds were made
to the supervisors OF the Custer and
Sioux National Forests for the par
pose Of starting this work. The funds
were for the most part expended In
purchasing strychnine and other drugs
used in preparing grain for bait,
while the grain was furnished by
the settlers.
The poisoned grain, usually wheat,
The news=record. [volume] (Enterprise, Wallowa County, Oregon) 1907-1910, 1909-09-11

was distributed at the holes through
out the dog towns, both by forest
Off els and by forest users. More
time was consumed in perfecting
the plan of cooperation than had
been anticipated and much Of the
bait was put out too late to obtain
the best results, though several
large dog towns were entirely clean
ed up. Experience hes proven that
the grain should be put out very
early in the spring-in fact, just as
soon as the animals appear from
their winter quarters, for the best re-
suits may be obtained before green
grass becomes available.

watered the trees which Hillhouse
had planted along Chapel street in
