MRS. MOTT|NGER
OF UMAT|LLA DIES

Mrs. Martha Mottinger, wife of G..
H. Mottinger, of Mottinger, Wash
ington, died at the home of Miss Will
cox, 307 Aura street at 1:40 this
morning. Death was the indirect re-
suit of an attack of typhoid fever dat
ing from October October 26, of last
year. The deceased was passed As
years of age.
Martha Bopp was born at Hawk
eye, Iowa, September 20, 1860. She
was married to G. H. Mottinger, Au-
gust 2S, 1882, at Windsor in that
state. They lived in Iowa and the
Dakotas until in March, 1892, when
they came west and settled in Walla
Walla. Later they crossed over the
line into Oregon and taught school
in Umatillf county for a number of
years. Mrs. Mottinger taught in the
town of Umatilla on the Columbia
river for three consecutive years.
Tiring of school teaching, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mottinger decided to settle on
a farm so took up a homestead across
the Columbia river in Washington.
There they engaged in cattle raising
and the growing of fruit. Two years
ago the North Bank railroad came
| along, crossed their place and a sta
tion was erected on the Mottinger
| homestead The name of Mottinger
was given this station and it was here
| that the deceased was seized with her
fatal illness, six months ago. Two
months ago she was brought to Pen
dleton by her nurse, Miss Wilcox, for
| treatment.
Mrs. Mottinger was a woman of
superior intelligence. She was we'll
liked by all who came in contact with
her and was universally praised for
her hospitality. Though not a men,
Der of any church she was neverthe-
less a devoted Christian and estab-
lished the first Sunday school the town
of Umatilla ever had. This Sunday
school is still in existence. a living
monument to her good works"
She leaves no children but in ad-
dition to her husband is survided by
three sisters and six brothers. Two
of these w. E. Bopp, of Minneapolis
and Mrs. ]. d. Hughes of Boise, were
at her bedside when she passed away
The remainder live in Iowa.
The body is now at the RAIDER un-
dertaking parlors, being prepared for
shipment to Hawkeye, Iowa, on the
afternoon train.

Contest-Win Compete With Mas
terpieces of all Ages.

Three Pendleton high school ath-
letes and the high school orator left
on the noon train for Pullman, WASH
ington, where they will participate in
the big tri-state field meet and dec
lamatory contest. The preliminary
events in the field meet will be held
tomorrow morning and the finals in
the afternoon, while the declaming
will be done in the evening.
The athletes are Nat Kimball, Ches-
ter Gordon and Glen Storie, while
Harold Warner will represent the To-
cal school in the speaking contest.
The boys will be met at Pullman, on
their arrival, by Principal Hampton
of the high school, who went up on
the noon train yesterday to be pres
ent there in the capacity of judge,
last evening.
Warner Handicapped.
Warner will be decidedly handi-
capped by reason of the fact that
there was a misunderstanding here
relative to the nature of the talk-fest.
II was advertised as an oratorical
contest and acting in accordance with
this announcement, Warner prepared
his own grafton. 1t now develops that
il is to be a defamation contest with
oratorical selections. This puts the
Pendleton representative in the posi-
tion of delivering his own composition
in competition with the masterpieces
of all ages. The difference was not
known here until few days ago, too
late to make change.

Don't be afraid Of getting the soil
too rich for any Of the vegetables

cannot have plenty of well rotted
manure, a top dressing of nitrate of

the plant food needed of nitrogen. but
other elements may be needed for

sulphate or muriate of potash NAV be
used instead and frequently p dressing

1t has always been recognized that
in warfare a knowledge Of the enemy's
weak points confers immense tactical
advantage. This was never truer than
In the tremendous crusade that man
kind is banding together to wage
against that dread foe, tuberculosis.
A few decades ago this particular
enemy Of the human race was not be-
lieved to have any vulnerable spots. 1t
was thought by all to be invincible,
and that its mere touch meant death.
Then it was gradually discovered that
after all, certain weapons were at
hand by means of which mankind
could give fight; that before sunlight
fresh air and proper food this foe
would recoll like Mephistopheles be-
fore the crucif1x.
Then, little by\ little, the fight was
begun By example and precept peo-
pie were taught not to lie down and
die, but to stand up and battle for
themselves.
The good news was taken to the ten
ements and crowded parts Of great cit
les, where sunshine and fresh air are
not secured without struggle, but
where they are just as efficacious as in
the haunts of wealth.
The great free exhibits given by the
International tuberculosis Exhibition
are Of immense value in this educa-
tional crusade, and the charity that
takes the form Of paying car fares in
order that the poor of the tenements
may not miss this invaluable object
lesson is very real one. Here the
mother who is trying to save her
stricken child in two small rooms in a
tenement district is shown those two
rooms as they probably are and as
they may be. In the first instance dir
ty, cluttered up with useless rubbish,
with every crack through which air
may filter carefully stuffed with un-
| clean rags. Then side by side with
this picture, the same rooms cleaned
and purified, with windows which will
open wide and say open, and with
nothing In sight that cannot be made
clean and kept clean.
The great lesson Is taught in capital
| letters that comfort and stuffiness are
not synonymous terms; that white
wash is a thousand times better than
ancient, germ-laden wallpaper, and
can be applied by any one, and as
often as is desirable; that floor that
can be washed daily with soap and wa
ter feels better and looks better than

ply renting out all of the land except
fifty to eighty acres. That several cows
must be kept on such farm goes with
out saying, not only for the monthly
income and profit, but for the manure
that Is necessary to keep the soil alive.
Present sanitary requirements call
for many devices and appliances that
cannot be installed on the small farm,
but cleanliness and kindness is within
the possibilities of any of us, and while
IL Is true that to house the cows in
the same building with the horses has
some disadvantages, 1t also has its ad-
Vantages, and to build separate build
lngs for both, Is not only expensive, but
calls for extra help in caring for and
feeding them.
A careful study of the barn shown
IN The illustration herewith will show
what we will call condensed arrange
ment, and, while the cows are in the
same barn with the horses, good
tight partition separates them from the
horse barn, to keep out the dust and
oders. For the same reason the silo Is
located where shown, for silage. no
matter how we'll cared for, has an
offensive odor, that is readily absorbed
by milk.
The floor plan is selfexplaining, the
silo Is an ordinary stave structure, with
wire cables for hoops, as the cable is
not 30 easily affected by contraction
and expansion as the solid iron hoops.
The crib has the foundation left out
as shown, and the floor Is of 2x6 inch
studdinxt with one-half-inch spaces be-
tween. The siding is drop siding, the
same as the balance of the barn, but
the top and lower edges are beveled,
ad one-half-inch space Is left be-
tween each board. This construction
allows a free circulation of air, and
keeps out the rain, snow and wind

through the floor is eaten by the poul-

Fertilizer for Potatoes.

For potatoes the past year we usea
LOO pounds of fertilizer to the acre,
one-third applied broadcast and the
rest scattered in the furrow, brushing
the fertilizer into the soil of the fur.
row before planting the seed. After
planting, the surface was kept well
stirred to prevent weeds starting and
the cultivator was run often enough
to keep down the weeds. A little hand
hoeing was done. The yield was $50
bushels per acre. The crop followed
corn and the land was very thorough.

All In Management,

Folks say that if you want any class
or stock that can always be sold at a
profit, from weaving time until totter-
ing old age, you want mule. We do
not raise mules, so can not speak from
experience. This much we do know,
however, several good friends Of ours
have been dickering in mules for years
without making any money. Perhaps
these are the exceptional cases that
prove the rule. Others have raised
ana bought mules and made good
money We surmise it's more the man
and his management than 1t Is the
mule, that reaps the profit. The same
man dealing in razorbacks might make
some money-Farmers Mail and
Breeze.
