MODEL SCHOOL LUNCHEON
AT LEWISTON NORMAL

A luncheon, which was given this
week, by the young women Of the ru-
raj school training course, at the Lew
iston state normal school, would go
very far toward disapprovlng the
statement that living is high in these
days.
The luncheon, which consisted OF
chilli rice, cabbage salad with cream
dressing, biscuits, tea, cookies and
apple sauce. were served at a cost OF
10 cents for each person.
1t Is quite evident that the youne
women at the state normal. who are
taking this course in domestic sol
ence, are learning, not only how tc
cook. but how to economize.

SHEEPkAN FOUND IN
PER|LOUS POSITION

L. S. Dunham thinks that fast freight
No. 55, which arrived in Pendleton
late yesterday afternoon is an un-
lucky one. Mr.. Dunham is a breeder
of Shropshire sheep with headquar-
ters at Concord, Mich, but for the
last year and a half has been located
at Meridian, Idaho. He left his home
last Thursday with a carload Of his
fancy sheep en- route to Harrisburg
in Lane county. on Friday night
while a local passenger train was
making a switch at Owyhee, the 9TH
er side of Nampa, his train collided
with the local, resulting in the death
Of Tim Donagan, who has been road
master at Owyhee for twenty years
and who was asleep in the caboose at
the time the trains struck.
Yesterday No. 55 stopped at Glib
bon and Mr.. Durham started to walk
forward to look after his sheep. He
knows nothing that happened there
after until he regained consciousness
on the train just before pulling into
Pendleton. The trainmen found him
lying PROSTATE across the track just

thinks he must have had an attack OF
the heart. He was taken off the train
here and medical aid was secured and
with the exception of a lame back
and a sore head, he is all right today
but will stay here until completely re-
covered.
Mr.. Dunham will attend the Nation
al Uoolgrowers' conyentio at Port
land and will probably act as one OF
the judges at the Midwinter Sheer
show.
