LATEST nHOT AIR"
ELECTRIC RAILROAD
OBSERVER SAYS SURVEYS FOR
LINE ACROSS BLUE NOUN.
TAINs ARE MADE.

That sooner or later a steam or
electric railroad will be built across
the Blue Mountains to connect the
Walla Walla country with Wallowa
and Grande Ronde valleys is as
sure as fate, and number of peo-
pie here who have investigated the
matter believe the time when this
will be done is not far off. Here
is the latest hot air" on the sub
ject as reported by the La Grande
Observer Of February 3:
Tangible assurance comes from
the head offices of Northwest Corpo-
ration Managers In Portland that the
Walla Walla interurban railroad,
owned and operated by the North
west Corporation, will be built over
the Blue Mountains, encompass the
Grande ilonde valley, penetrate Wal
Iowa county, and perhaps in time be
extended through the Powder valley
into Baker City, and that the coming
April or May will see things being
done, has been received within the
week by La Grande citizen prom
inent in municipal affairs. The as
surance came to hi1n during a visit
to Portland while in conversation
with Mr.. Welsh, the supreme head of
the company in this section of the
country.
Surveys Over Mountains Done
1T is fact, established beycnd a
question OF doubt, that the company
has already surveyed a road over
the Blue Mountains from Milton and
runs adjacent to the Toll Gate and
looks out upon the Grande Ronde
valley just above Summerville. From
that point on, surveys are yet to be
done. This Mr.. Welsh admits with

Many Aspire For
EnumeratOr Job
Eight Take Test Examination at
Enterprise and Five at
Wallowa.

A test examination of persons who
desire the positions of census enhm-
orators, was held in the public school
building in this city Saturday after
noon, under the supervision of Post
master Ben Weathers. Eight per-
sons took the examination here, in
cludng one from Joseph, one from
Lostine and two or three from the
near by country.
The same day test examination
was held at Wallowa at which five
persons filled the test blanks.
1t is not known definitely how
many enumeration districts there
will be in this county, but probably
eight or ten at least. Ten years ago
there were seven.
The census this year will be taken
for April Is instead of June /, as
heretofore was the rule. The reason
for the change is that so many peo-
pie are away from their usual place
of abode on the later date, especial
ly city folk.
The queries the enumerators will
ask are much the same as I'M preced-
ing censuses, except the agricultur-
al schedules, which are designed to
give more details than ever before.
Enumerators in Eastern Oregon
will be paid Sc a day, except in
the cities CT The Dalles, Pendleto1,
La Grande and Baker City, where
the pay will be cents name. The
emumerators begin work April 15 and
must be through in 80 days.

ARE YOU A FISHER f?
American Heirs Looking After Eighty
Million-DOllar Estate in Germany.
Get Busy. @

More than $50 years ago, there
lived in Germany a wealthy baron
named Ludwig Won Fischer. All
the Fishers used to spell their
name with a sc" IN it; that was
the German way of spelling it,
just as the Snlders spelled their
name Schneider.
Well, the German government
became a little short of funds one
time, and Baron Fischer made
the government a loan at 4 per
cent. The baron had a son, who
fcollng around with gun one
day, shot one of the deer IN the
kings park. This would have
been an unlucky day for the
young Fischer, if he had not got.
ten some money from the old gen
tieman, and skipped toithls coun-
try. After a time the father
died, and as no word could oe had
from the son. the government
just kept the money on interest,
piling it up and up, until now it
amounts to more than eighty mil
lions of doll lrs, and it belongs to
the descendants of the deer hunt
err, who settled somewhere in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, or Nlr-
gina.
The American heirs have en-
ployed an attorney and sent him
to Germany and he cables back
that the money is there, and all
that is needed is to establish the
line OF ancestry. So, if your
name Is Fisher, or you are a de
scendant OF the Fisher family,
you can get into this by sending
as nearly as you can your family
history as far back as possible to
Mrs. M. B. Sloan, 36l2 Wabash
Ave-, Kansas City, Mo. You are
not asked to send any money.

Good Wheat Yield.

Reference has been made here
tofore in these columns to the IN.
creased production of wheat IN
this county, over what 1t was a
few years ago. This has been es
pecially noticeable in Belfast
township. But this week a prom
lnent farmer of Thompson town,
ship called our attention to the
fact that over 5000 bushels OF
wheat were raised this season on
a strip of land about p miles long
by I of mile IN width, IN his
township, which includes farms
of Dennis Morgret, w. r. Dan.
lels, VIM. Secrist, John and
Charles Secrlst, John Ii. Brewer,
Mac Lltton, Geo A Winters, John
Winters, j 9 Comerer, Harvey
Comerer, w W Douglass, Rich
ard Johnson, G M Miller, and 9th
ers. These crops run along from
500 to- 1900 bushels, and are OF su
perior quality. 1t must be re-
mem bered that this Is on Fulton
County slate land. But Thomp
son township farmers, like olher
farmers in this county, have
learned a thing or two about the
art and science of agriculture,
aud know something about max
ing two blades of grass grow
where one formerly grew.

SHOCKING DEATH.
David Whitfield, Thirteen Years Of Age,
Dragged to Death under Harrow
Last Saturday Evening.

A shocking accident occurred
at the home of Reuben S. Mellott
IN Belfast township last Satur-
day afternoon when cost the life
of David Whitfield, a thirteen
year old boy who had been work.
ing for Mr.. Mellott.
Mr.. Mellott aud this boy were
in a field seeding, the boy har.
rowing and Mr.. Mellott running
the drill. While the stories of
the sad accident are somewhat
conflicting, from the best infor-
nation, it seems that the boy
was riding the near horse while
narrowing, that the team became
frightened and started to run off,
and the boy fell between the
horses and was dragged to death
under the harrow. Another
story says that the boy was I'M.
hltching the team preparatory to
leaving the field IN the evening,
and that the horses became
frightened AT any rate, the boy
lived less than half an hour after
the accident occurred,
The boys mother is sister of
Anthony Mellott, of Belfast town
township, his father having died
several years ago, their home be.
ing near CAPSULE, Bedford coun-
ty. The boy was buried at the
Dunkard church near Gapsville,

Some Sauer Kraut.

After very pleasant visit IN
Harrisburg with their son Daniel
A., Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. Glllis re.
turned to their home in this place
last Friday. Among the many
other places of interest Mr.. Gillis
saw while away, was the big
Heinz vegetable farm at Middle.
town. One Thousand tons of cab.
bage had just been shipped from
that farm to Mr.. Helnz's big
factory in ttsburg, to be con-
verted into sauer kraut, and
seventy carloads of onions sent
to the same place to be made into
the famous Heinz pickles. Then,
besides the cabbage and onions,
were tomatoes, horse-radish,
peppers, mango-melons, marty
Mas, and other things. The
martynias, which IN appearance
resem bles the cucumb ber, are
placed in barrels, and then salt
water is poured over them. In
this they are kept for several
days until they are thoroughly
soaked, when the barrels are
made air tight and they are
shipped.

An Afflicted Family.

Several weeks ago, Ethel, a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
De shong, near Sipes Mill, took
typhoid fever, and became so i'll
that word was sent to her mar
ried sister Anne, Mrs. Howard
Mellott, to come home if she
wished to see her sister alive.
Annie went home, and turned in
to help nurse her sick sister. In
very short time Sherman,
brother went down with it, and
was followed IN a few days by the
mother who was almost exhausted
from the continued watching and
nursing of her sick children.
The fourth to take her bed with
the dread disease was Annie, and
on Monday the father took it, and
Lille, the last one IN the family
is reported to be in the first
stages of the fever. Ethel, the
first to get it, is now convalesclng
and it is believed that unless she
gets relapse, she will recover.
Mr.. Deshong's brother in law,
Elk Sheriff Frank Mason has been
IN the Deshong home during the
past two weeks caring for the
family almost lone handed, and
Tuesday he came to town and
took his wife, who is a sister of
Mrs. Deshong, over to assist in
the nursing of the sick. A
trained nurse from Bedford ar
rived on the scene Monday even
ing; but it is up to the neighbors
and friends of the family to rem
der such assistance as they may
be able-either in direct aid, or
in furnishing means to help de
fray the expense of keeping hired
help until the unfortunate family
are able to take care of them
selves again.
