Weiser, Ida, May AT the morn
ing session of the Idaho Oregon De-

was reelected civil engineer and Gre
ated enthusiasm by his address. He
said there was a pass through the
Cascades, permitting railroad con-
struction on one per cent grade from
the plateau of central Oregon to Coos
Bay. The pass is believed TO be un-
known to Hartman. Delegates from
all parts of Oregon continue to arrive,
taxing the capacity of Weiser. A
thousand attended the meeting last
night.
Col. Wood Speaks.
Col C. E Wood of Portland. spoke
on "The railroad situation in southern
Oregon" He explained the position
of his company on the Malheur irri-
CATION project which was of great in
terest to eastern Oregon. His COM
pahy signed the petition asking the
government reclamation service to
take up the project and are bound
to stay with the agreement If the gov
ernment will go on. Personally he
believed it more satisfactory to do
business with a private enterprise
proposing to irrigate the land under
the Carey act. as II affords better pro-
lection TO land owners and water
users for the reason that it was pro-
tected by bond when doing business
with private corporations.
He said if a combination existed
among railroads not to build roads it
was up to the people to do it.
Low Pass Ovcrcomcs Obstacle.
Hurlburt said the pass was so dens-
ely timbered that footway would have
tn be cut through. Hurlburt's infor-
nation would overcome a great OBJ
Stacle.
State Senator Carl Davis. of Idaho,
explained the features of the new Ida
no district law, how to take advan-
tage of the provisions and announced
that the law would be effective May

trict. Davis talk was interesting to

That two men battled to the death
on the summit of the Blue mountains
between Pilot Rock and Starkey pa
rairie is evidenced by the finding OF
the body OF one of the men yester-
Is believed to be one of two men who
were travelling through the country
for the purpose of taking moving pic
;ure machine photographs and was
probably killed Tuesday afternoon or
Wednesday morning.
The two men left Pendleton Mon
day morning. They had double
rig and n single horse and buggy.
When they reached the Judge GILL;
land place on Stewart creek, at the
Lewis Gilllland 10 help them to the
top OF the mountain. When they
reached the top Gilliland left them
and they started on. They evidently
continued their journey until they
reached the timber, the road running
along the summit of the mountain for
n considerable distance. In the edge
OF the timber is located a spring and
the "Old Knots Corrals." Here is
where they are supposed to have
camped and where the tragedy is sup
posed to have been enacted. though
the details received in Pendleton are
very meagre.
Boy Finds Body.
Yesterday the team and double
hack were found by Roy Jennings. AS
the horses showed evidence Of having
been tied up for several days he made
an investigation and soon located the
dead body of one of the men. BY its
side Has n pick and shovel. The 9TH
er man, together with the single rig
was missing.
Without making a further invest
cation he hurried to the nearest tele-
phone which was at the Schafer
ranch on Stewart creek, and notified
Coroner Folsom, he did not even look
10 ascertain how the man was killed
Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakeley and Cor
oner Folsom left for the scene about
$40 last evening and It is expected
that they will return to Pendcton
with the body some time this even
ing. Until they do or can reach
telephone. no further details will be
.obtainable.
Men Were Quarrcling.
That the dead man was killed by
his companion as the result of n quar-
rel is believed by local officers. Ac-
cordng to Lewis Gilliland the two men
were quarreling all the way up the
mountain and he is of the opinion that
the man who acted as boss" is the
slayer, as he was the aggressor In the
quarreling,
Thinking that the fellow headed for
La Grande, after killing his compan-
ion the local officers notified the I'M
ion county sheriff by phone last eve-
ming. AS the crime was committed
earlier in the week, he would have
plenty OF time to reach the railroad
and get out of the country.
Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Sheriff
Bert Wilson will return this evening
from Salem and Portland and will at
once take UP the trail OF the muir

Crime I'm Union County.
In telephone conversation this |
afternoon between Judge Gilliland |
and his son, It was learned that the
crime was committed in Union coun- |
ty. Young Gililand says the body of
the murdered man was found about
two miles this side of Starkey prairie,
which means that 1t was near the foot |
of the mountains and on the other
side from the Umatilla county line.

A Pretty Touch

HANY are beginning to plan for
M summer cottages. and are Won
AVA dering what things they will
take from the winter house to the one
by the sea or near the mountains. A
householder may have among her pos.
sessions nice-sized mirror which
would be just the thing to hang over
the dressing table cleverly constructed
by the man of the house. But the frame!
if it were only a little better looking.
Now here is q suggestion for her: Take

or figured denim. Stretch the material
smoothly over the sides. inter the ends,

on securely
1t is surprising what cheerful as
pect a room has when such pretty
touches are given it. When selecting
the cretonne or denim for covering the
frame, try to get material that. will
match or harmonic with the general
color scheme OF the room in which it is
TO be placed.

Coat Hanger Economy

TOR the woman who wants a coat
hanger for every gown-and who
doesnt?-there are some new
ideas that have been garnered in, both
for the construction of them and the
covering.
AS a skeleton for the hanger there is
the pasteboard roll whose usefulness as
a mailing case is over. Then there are
the strips of very thin wood and very
firm pasteboard. These substitutes for
the steel hanger are first covered with
wadding and then with shirred lawn.
ribbon or silk. A ribbon loop is tied Sc
curely round the middle to take the
place Of the usual wire hook. and Oh
each end the big puffy bow is filled with
cotton as a sleeve supporter, and also
this helps to keep the gown from slip

bouquet ribbons became almost a bur
den, used them all to cover coat hang

To ENLARGE the Closet

TINE girl who boards and has but

one holding a waist or two or a coat,
and 1t will hold even five more on a

How to Apply
the Design

THERE are two ways to apply
l this design to the material
upon which you wish to work 1t.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawn, batiste
and the like-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with well-pointed pencil,
draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down, upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with hard pencil or
the point of a steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper, you will find neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
There are two points to observe
in this simple process, if you would
execute it satisfactorily. One is,
see that your material is level-cut
and folded by thread-and that
your design is placed upon it evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot slip during the
operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue, red and yellow. / ad-
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible, as the black and blue
are so liable to crock.
Do not rest your hands or fingers
upon any part of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint of
hand or fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines of the design.

there is the probability of its jump
ing up and down and humping its
little face against the side rod of the
crib. There may be had a very at
tractive light blue or pink quilted
satin to cut into four pieces for the
sides and ends of the crib. They
should be bound and tied to the crib
with satin ribbons to match, two
inches wide.
When cutting allow sufficient
] ma to roll the quilted satin over
the top rod, and when tying it on
fasten it to the upright metal rods

ume the large dinner cloth is rarely now
in evidence.
On this white linen background the
whole design may be developed in white
mercerized cotton, or else certain num-
Der of the conventional flowers may be
done in fresh light green-just enough
tn give a touch Of this now popular
color.
This will necessarily depend on the
color of your dishes: the green would
not be advisable unless your dishes are
either white and gold. white and green.
or else plain white.
II you decide upon the fiat Japan
csc work for the petals. the satin
stitch will require no padding. If the
regular solid stitch is to be done, the
petals should first be padded with
UNFINISHED cotton. The wandering
cluster of stems, done in the usual
delicate stem stitch, will serve to
throw into relief the heavier solid
