Macadamize Roads in Union.

La Grande, Ore.-Union county
will macadamize two miles of the
worst road in the county as an ex-
pertinent. Booth lane is road that
must be used by every one who may
have occasion to travel from the
northern part of the county to Island
City or La Grande. A great amount
Of money and labor has been expend-
ed on this piece of road. Grades have
been constructed and bitches plowed,
but it is all the same in the bad sea-
sons.
A considerable portion of the ex-
pense of this improvement is to be
contributed by residents of the val
ley who have occasion to travel this
lane, it being among the most con-
stantly used highways in the county.
One or two of the Sandridge residents
will furnish teams for rock hauling
for 80 days. Others will make their
donations in cash. Included in the
latter class are many residents of La
Grande.

ABOUT HORACE MKINLEY.
Famous Land Fraud Artist Had
Thrilling Time DOdging Officers.

The checkered career OF Horace
Mckinley, the land fraud artist, who
In connection with s. A. d. Puter.
figured In the famous Ill cases, the
nefarious operations In which were
exposed by Francis ]. Heney, is still
fresh In the minds of the public.
The absconding Of Mckinley and
the subsequent search for him, which
extended over two continents. is also
fresh in the public mind. After con-
Tossing to completely II the oregon
land frauds, Mckinley escaped to the
orient. 1t was reported that he had
been seen in China with Little
Egypt" the noted dancer, who has
since died. Detective Kerrigan of
Portland landed IN San Francisco on
February 20, 1908, with Mckinley in
his custody after a chase extending
over $4,000 miles.
Befriended BY Outlaws.
On his arrival 1t developed that the
famous outlaw band Of Hung Hu Use
were the allies of the fugitive and
aided him to escape from prison at
Mukden. He smuggled word to the
Mukden leaders Of the Hung Hu Use
and was told bis rescue would be ef-
fected on the =. ht of November II.
That was in tic fall of 1907 So, fol-
lowing instructions, Mckinley left a
dummy of himself in bed that night
and went out through a hole in the
wall made for him by members of
the outlaw society.
Weeks Of trying experience follow
ed. for the Chinese officials showed
that for once they were really in
earnest about catching an American
fugitive, and 1t required a maximum
of skill on the part of the Hung Hu
Use to keep him out of sight. During |
days he often hid in Chinese coffin; |
by night he got exercise and fresh !
air by masquerading as a Russian |
girl Chinese officers finally conclud- |
ed he had left Mukden, and this gave |
opportunity actually to get away from
the town. So he went to Harbin,
where he expected to take train for |
the interior. He wore Russian |
clothes.
Mckinley would probably have
been in the interior from Harbin yet
had not the Russian who sold the
outfit realized that he could
make another haul by the betrayal
Of Mckinley. He had heard of the
$4,000 reward offered by the Chinese
so tipped off the secret

THE WHEAT MARKET.
WHEAT GROWERS NOW
CONTROL SITUATION
L. B. Wilcox Bulls Market by De-
claring Wheat Cheap.

| SAmS WuCuL OHCdp.
Portland, Nov with producers
not inclined to let go much Of theil
wheat because Of the possibility OF
higher prices in the near future, there
was only small amount of business
passing in the northwest grain mar
kets during the week.
Several declines in cash wheat val
ues in the middle west and in the
southwest, there was practical ell
mination of buying from that dlrec-
tion in the three states Of the north
Pacific coast during the week.
Absence of this demand failed to
check the growing strength of the
wheat market, however, for millers of
the Pacific coast continue as liberal
buyers Of wheat. and exporters wants
are still sufficient to keep the market
from sagging.
However most of the strength i'm
pressed upon the Pacific northwest
wheat trade during the past week was
caused by the firmer holding Of the
growers. While these interests are un-
willing to let go OF their crops and the
millers are unable to fill their bins,
the market is not expected to show
any decline.
Theodore B. Wilcox, president of the
Portland FIGURING Mills company and
considered the king of wheat and flour
men Of the Pacific coast, said yester-
ray that even at the present price
wheat was cheap. With such an au-
thorlty so bullish on the situation
there is little doubt of the holding by
growers.

CAREER OF
 STAR BOXERS
 A0T METEOR|C
Bill Blunt Points Out the eie- mentS. That Enter into the Prize Fight Game As Now Played

NEW YORK. March 9z.-The idea seems to be general among the ua- thinking lsht fans .that the active life og the average star boxer is lina- tied to a few years. Every once in a while some new boxer win spring cp and clean all the boys In his dsss. Then it is that you hear them say: "Yes the Kid Is Q good one and we don't see anybody his weight at the present time who seems to be good enough to lick him, but he'd better get the coin while he's on top. You know they don't last long IS a rule. The speedy life they lead; late hours; hard work in the gym; the beatings they receive and q dash of 7fage life generally fixes their clock. They are only good for few years at best" Perhaps not in that exact language, but that Is the purport of their talk. That their impressions arc wofulIy wide of the mark is easy 10 prove. There is no reason in the world why the active life of the boxer should not be as long. in point of actual years Of service as that of the ball player. How often the baseball fans justly point with price to the long and meri5oriouS careers of Cy Young Biddy McPhee and others Of their ilk. But long as some of the big league tossers made 8 living on the diamond. the length of their act, i've careers Is not any longer and iD few cases, even 50 ions as that of the average champion boxer.
