RESCUE MAN FROM
SCHOOL OF SHARKS

New York.-The steamer Tocan-
tines, a famous vessel which ran the
mined harbor at Port Arthur to es-
cape from the Russians, swings
gracefully at her dock in Brooklyn
after a trip from Brazil, bringing a
new tale of adventure and rescue.
A gold medal won by the captain
and presented by the Brazilian gov
ernment, commemoated the latest
achievement of the little ship-the
saving of 16 fishermen off the Brazil
ian coast on March 90. The first of
the 16 men was sighted by the look
out before dawn. He was clinging to
a plank in the open sea and was wav-
ing weak arm to the on-coming
ship. A school of sharks swan about
him and his rescuers found that his
legs had been badly torn by the big
fish The man had been in the water
"a hours and had eaten his last meal
six days before. He had set out from
Rio Janeiro with Is companions.
A squall took away their rigging and
left them drift helplessly. All went
crazy but this one man and he was
compelled to take to the water to es-
cape his companions frenzy.
After hearing his story, the Tocan-
tines crulsed about for several hours,
finally locating the wreck and res
cuing the fishermen.

HAIL LABOR PREMIER
ON WAY TO MELBOURNE

Observation-Disclosures Fisher, the
new labor premier of the Australian
Commonwealth, has arrived here af-
ter triumphant progress all the way
from Bisbane, being almost mobbed
by his admirers at every stopping
place.
Vast crowds awaited Mr.. Fishers
arrival at the railway station here,
and the scene was one of wild en-
rived at the great exhibition building
somewhat later the demonstration by
masses of enthusiastic workers was
repeated.
Mr.. Fisher has exhibited remark
able self restraint under unparalleled
conditions. His speeches, while re-
assuring nervous interests, are un-
compromising as regards the land tax
and the financial supremacy Of the
National Parliament.
The opinion is strongly held In Ia
Dor circles that the Fisher ministry
intend to pass law granting to the
different Australian states an annual
sum of about s25, 100000 for 10 years
from December next.
The Melbourn eight-hour Demon
stration has been converted by the
masses into vast popular rejoicing
over the labor triumph at the federal
polls. A procession of the different
trades, a mile long, numbering 200,-
900 persons, passed through the city
cheering all the way

WESTERN GIRL SEEKS
TO LEARN HER NAME

The Los Angeles Times publishes
the following special dispatch from
Kansas City, reciting the peculiar
troubles of a Douglas girl who is try
ing to find out her right name so she
can change It,. Why the one she is
now going by is not good enough for
the discard" is not explained.
miss Louise Haley of Douglas,
Arizona, who has travelled 10000 miles
in search of name as a preliminary
to her marriage to a wealthy mine
operator, thought, for few minutes
today, that she was face to face with
her father. News Of the search
among the records of the old city hos
had reached Philip Smith, an aged
carpenter, who lives at No. % West
Missouri avenue. Smiths wife left
him in Paola, Kas., in 1875, and he
had been told that daughter
had been born in the city hospital of
Kansas City. His wife's sister had
married a man named Haley and in
weaving together possibilities he had
high hopes that the Arizona woman
weuld turn out to be his daughter
But the melodramtic possibility OF
father and daughter in each others
arms, weeping for joy, was not full
filled. Miss Haley and Smith ex-
changed "reminiscences, mostly vague
for an hour. At the end Of the talk
| both were convinced that this wa;
only another false clew.

FRUIT OUTLOOK is
FAVORABLE IN UNION

La Grande, Ore.-If Union county
can escape heavy frost for another
week. the most stupendous crop of
fruit ever turned out of this valley will
be the result next fall and scores of
orchardists will be made rich in
year.
The blossoms have matured so rap
idly that If frosts do not visit the val
lev within the next few days, the ap-
pie will be well formed and when such
conditions are reached 1t requires an
extremely heavy frost to do any dam
age to the bloom. The unprecedented
load of immature apples now carried
on the trees has set orchardlsts into
high spirits.
While 1t has generally been con-
ceded that Jonathan apples keep a
long time in Grande Ronde valley, a
case Of long keeping was discovered
this morning by City Water Superin-
tendent H. C. Gilman, who by acci-
dent found some Jonathan apples In
his cellar that had wintered remark
ABLY we'll. The fruit was as luscious
| as It ever was and scarcely mark OF
| age was on the skin. Mr.. Gilman Is
elated at the discovery and no one
can tell him without meeting dispute
that the Jonathan is not good keep

Fungi Choke Out Crops.

It has been announced that after
experiments lasting thirteen years.
Prof. II. l.. Boley OF the agricultural
college of the University of North
Dakota, discoverer of the flax sick
ness and cure which has re5uvinated
the fields of Russia and older parts
OF the United States has discovered
the five distinct types Of parasites
which cause the various varieties Of
wheat sickness.
This sickness has made lands SEEM
ingly barren throughout the world
snd is gradually choking the pro
rata of crops in the present wheat
growing countries. The experiments
have been conducted on a plot of land
reserved for years at the site of the
agricultural college, half mile west
of Fargo.
Prof. Boley says the fungi resem-
BILE in shape and in reaction on plant
life the tuberculosis germs which af-
flict human life, but that the cure Is
far easier. being nothing less than a
correct rotation of crops. being chief
ly clover, corn and potatoes, until
tests of land show the absence of the
psrasitical fungi.

Poultry Pointers.

II you are attempting to raise pure
bred poultry separate the poorer hens
and the poorer cocks from the best
birds in the flock and then use only
those eggs for setting that come from
your best hens.
With all the increased study that
has been given the poultry business
Of late years. no feed has been dis
covered for young chicks that beats
bread crumbs.
Hens which have to exercise in the
straw for their food are healthier and
will lay more eggs thon those which
stand around and have nothing to do.
Cracked corn and cracked wheat
fed together make better food for
young chicks than either fed alone.
If wheat Is not available, bran may
be used with the corn as balancer.
If possible give fowls plenty Of
range. When they are confined their
natural rations should be supplied
them in the shape of chopped meats
and bone meal
Some poultrymen advise the use OF
chopped corn mixed with turpentine
as preventative feed against gapes
In chicks.
The American hen produces more
wealth in year by six times than the
gold and iron mines of the country
produce, and she gets precious little
credit for her work.
There is nothing that makes poul7
try house look cleaner and smell
sweeter than a good coat of good
whitewash, especially when the odor
or some good dsinfectant prevades
the air and penetrates the crevices.
Whitewash is cheap and is easily ap>
piled.
Egg eating hens, as a general pro-
position are hens that do not have
sufficient meat diet. Give therc plenty
Of meat scraps or bugs, worms ana
insects and, they won't eat eggs.
The Osler theory modified applies
to poultry. When a hen sees her
granddaughter running around and
figuring on being a mother its ABOUT
time to- have chicken stew.

Duck eggs should be set under hem

There Is not as profitable an ad

WESTON CHILD IS
BITTEN BY A DOG
LITTLE DAUGHTER OF FRED
KERSHAW is VICTIM
Wound Cauterized and No Serious
Sesults Anticipated-Eight Grade
Students Take Exams - Other
News Notes.
Especial Correspondence

Weston, Ore, May 16.-Freda, the
little six year old daughter of Mr.. Fred
kershaw, assistant cashier at the
bank, was quite severely bitten on the
arm by a dog Friday evening. DR..
Lazier responded promptly to the call
and cauterized the wound and the lit
tie patient is doing we'll and no Sc
rious results are anticipated, though
the wound was deep.
James Schrimscher of the reserva-
ton was business visitor Saturday
patronizing Weston's merchants for
farm supplies.
Master Ray Simpson, formerly a
resident of Weston, but now residing
with his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
w. Simpson, is up for a short stay
with some Of his old school mates.
Nineteen candidates took the
eighth grade examination Friday.
They are students from the Weston
public school Mrs. H. G.. Walker had
charge of the examination. Mrs. Walk
er Is also member Of the board of
school directors for Westons public
school. and has made a very efficient
one which is conceded by all the
school patrons.
The town was pretty we'll deserted
Saturday owing to the track meet en-
tertainment taking place at Athena.
Apparently every one who was able
to get away from business and home
affairs was in attendance,
G. p. Smith, under the direction of
Road SuperyisOr u r Tavapdar ;c
making some needed repairs on the
Pine creek road above town. The
Pine creek road as now maintained
is in fine shape, while in the past not
much in its favor could be said. This
road is travelled by one of the rural
on the R. F. d. that starts
from Weston and he reports that he
has never known the road to be in as
fine condition at this time of the year
as 1t is at preset. All of which is
to the road supervisor and
the system of roadmaking and repair
ing as in vogue in the county at pres
ent. A few culverts are needed in
some places which we learn are to be
placed before the next rainy season
sets in.
C. p. Graham was unfortunate in
to lift too heavy a rock
and in consequence strained the cords
and muscles of his right hand and
wrist and is compelled to carry the
same in a sling. This prevents him
from further work on the city's rock
crusher where he was employed as
feeder.

Our Farm Animals.

Reports of the Bureau of Statistics
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture indicate that the general
condition in regard to healthfulness OF
farm animals on April I was very
nearly the average: horses and sheep
were slightly lower in condition than
a year ago and their ten-year average
condition. On April 1, cattle were
slightly lower than year ago but
above the average, and swine were
above both year ago and the ten
year average.
The losses of horses from disease
during the year were 20 per 1000, as
compared with IS the preceding year,
and 10, the average annual loss per
1000 in the past ten years.
The losses of cattle from disease
were 81 per 1000 head in the past
year, compared with 10 the preceding
year. and 81. the ten-year average;
the losses from exposure were II per
1000 in the past year compared with
15 the preceding year, and II, the
ten-year average.

SHOEMAKER HAS HEART
WRONG SIDE OF BODY

Milan.-Dino Tacamont, young
shoemaker, living at Poggfbonsi. near
Siena. appeared at the latter place a
few days ago to undergo medical in
spection for military conscription. The
dictors in attendance made the as
founding discovery that Dino has his
heart on the right side, and his liver
on the left.
Such case of situs viscerum In
versus is very rare. A specialist sum-
moned to the consultation. however,
says that though this right-sided phe-
nomenon wears his heart on the wrong
side there is no reason why he
shouldn't be a long-liver. as the di-
gestive apparatus is quite normal in
its. action.
Tacamoni is to be studied by a
commission of physiological experts.

FACTS FOR FARMERS

Is an old tradition that 1t is bad luck
to bring such an egg into the house.
If there is a place on your premises
under some old building, where you
can spade up the ground, do It and
give 1t to your hens to work in. They
will dig away hard and find worms
that will do them lot Of good.
For Matching purposes take the
eggs Of hens that lay first. This will
help In building up the standard Of
your chickens.
1t Is good plan for farmers wife
to keep close account Of all poultry
and egg sales. Bl doing so she will
be able to see just how many grocery
and other bills this product will pay
for during the course Of year. And
the more attention the fowls get the
more bills can be paid.

Irrigation.

e. H. Libby, president of the Wash
ington Conservation association, says
that irrigation is the greatest of the
forces now in action for the conser-
.vation OF our natural resources, and
perhaps the greatest of any yet to be
utilized. In the last six or seven years
irrigation has changed poor sheep
pastures into fruit land actually SELL
ing at. $500 to $1,000 an acre without
improvements. Right use Of this
wealth is the true meaning of con-
servation Of natural resources. Right
use prohibits monopoly and prevents
waste. Right use Of the forest cuts
the timber in its prime, saves the
young growth and protects 1t from
fires and overgrazlng, and stores the
flood waters for irrigation. power and
navigation"
