About dozen young men of the
city chartered hand car last Fri
day and rode down to Fem to par
ticipate in dance at that place.
They all had fine time going and
while there but had to pay for their
fun coming back. The road home

blowing something like a forty
mile gale against them which made
the old hand car drag as if it had
all of the railroad track across the

When all had about reached state
of exhaustion they managed to pull
into the local yards and complaints
of sore backs and muscles have
been more numerous since Their

UNTHRIFTY CATTLE.

Improper Rations and Exposure to
Weather Mainly Responsible.
Aside from poorly selected and de-
generate breeds, perhaps the most
widely distributed cause Of unthrifty
cattle Is deficient and improper nour-
ishment. Scanty and improperly bal.
anced winter rations are often worse
than lost. Animals poorly fed during
winter will make comparatively small
gains when put on grass. lii turn,
short pasture means unthrifty cattle.
short profits and an animal unfit to
winter. The farmer who does not
properly feed his cattle during the
feeding season and who allows himself
to be overstocked during summer, thus

Don't harbor the delusion that
filth is not a detriment In and
around the dairy building dur

summer only makes the scent
more pronounced and nauseat-

one to overlook filth because Of
lack Of odor. But 1t is still filth.

An interesting fact has been made
very clear this season in connection
with land. naturally well drained,
which has been lately tiled-namely.
that in the driest season known in
years this land has produced larger
crops of better quality than land lying
near by which was apparently suffi-
ciently dry for crop production. This
greater productiyeness seems directly
due to the fact that in land which
is tiled there is a much freer circuia-.
ton Of the air. which means mel
lower and looser soil and more rapid
passage to the surface Of subsoil mois-
ture. This same condition results in
rapid absorption into the soil of rain
that does fall. thus reducing to q mini-
mum the volume which flows of from
the surface. washing and outlying the
soil.

UNCLE SAM TO DEAL
WITH INDIAN THIEF

Frank Johnson. the Indian who
recently was arrested by Sheriff Tay-
lor and indicted by the grand jury
for stealing cattle from Albert Min
thorn will not escape punishment des-
pte the fact that he could not be
brought to trial in the local circuit
court through lack of jurisdiction. His
case is now in the hands of the Unit
ed States courts and he is now en-
route to Portland in the custody OF
a United States marshal to receive
trial in the federal court in that city.
The theft with which johnson is
accused was committed on the reser-
walton and both the alleged thief and
the man from whom he stole the cat
tie, are Indians, which combination
of facts took the case out of the
hands of the local authorities, al
though the man had been indicted
and intended to plead guilty.
This morning he was taken before
L. S. Commissioner Vida Johnston,
who fixed his bail at $1,000 and, as he
was unable to raise that amount, he
was given over to the custody of the
L. S. marshal and taken to Portland
on No. II. Johnson is an old Offend
er having been sent up once before
from Multnomah county on a similar
charge

the Cause of Much Disease Which
May BE Avoided.

The fly j. Il more deadly enemy OF
mankind than all the wild and fero-
cious beasts in the world.
1t has been concIusively proven that
the fly serves directly as an agent for
the transmission of disease germs.
The fly lives Oh filth and perfect
cleanliness would be an absolute pre-
ventative.
Housewives should refuse TO pat
ronize any grocer or butcher who does
not screen perishable gods so as to
protect them from flies.
These are a few or the points
brought out last night by DR.. Calvin
$. White, state health officer, who
lectured at the city hall under the
auspices of the ladies' civic club. The
lecture vas a revelation to those who
heard it and the audience left the
room fully impressed with the idea
that the fly is a menace to human
health and should be abolished.
In the course of his lecture DR..
White traced the habits of the COM
mon house fly, showing that they owe
their existence to uncleanly condi-
tions and describing how they carry
disease germs from sources of infec-
tion to kitchen, dining room, etc. AT
the conclusion of his lecture he pre-
sented a series of stereoptican views
that graphically illustrated the points
in the lecture.

SILVER WEDDING
RECEPTION BRILLIANT

Washington, June 20.-The silver
wedding celebration of the president
and Mrs. Taft, the second to be held
in the white house, came to an end
last night with the reception on the
white house lawn.
Invitations had been sent to nearly
1000 persons. and while the official
count of those who shook hands with
the president was not given out, it is
estimated that at least 5000 persons
were present
Probably never in the history of the
nation has such function been held
IN Washington.
The diplomatic corps, the United
States supreme court, the senate and
the house of representatives, the de-
partments of government, men high
in political affairs of the country, the
army. the navy and almost every walk
of life were represented.
The cool, clear night that made
reception in the open air possible
prevented the crush that the white
house for days had reared and made
the reception not only brilliant in
every respect. The guests would have
filled the white house to overflow
ing, but the grounds were ample and
there was no crush and no confusion.
Possibly 5000 people crowded
about the iron fence that surrounds
the grounds and looked longingly at
the electric display, the splashing
fountain and the gay throng within.
Washington seldom gets excited about
anything, but last night it showed its
interest in the anniversary of the
president in unmistakable fashion.
The cards said that the reception
would begin at 9 o'clock and promptly
ct that hour, to the strains of the we'd
ding march, the president anu Mrs.
Taft walked slowly down the stair
case of the white house, preceded by
the SIX presidential aides and follow
ed by the cabinet. Out through the
red room to the rear portico of the
mansion down the broad steps to the
lawn, the procession marched, while
hundreds of guests already in the
grounds watched their progress. They
| took their stand about the center of
the lawn, beneath two trees, the
ol WHICH were Jolieu ny an
electric sign flashing "1SS6-1911."
The guests entered from the east
front, passed through the corridors be-
meath the white house and out to the
! lawn. Down the winding walk they
passed in two lines to where the
president, his face wreathed in smiles,
| was waiting to meet them all.
While Q o'clock had been named as
| the hour at which the reception be-
gan, no time was fixed for the end Of
the festivities. and it was after mid
| night that the engineer band struck
up Home, Sweet Home" the last
| dancers swept, out on, the floor of the
east room, and the president felt that
' he could retire.
