TURKEYS ARE VERY SCARCE
Few Birds Now Raised on Farms in
This Vicinity and Prices High.

II reports are true, many Thanks
giving dinners will be minus turkey
this season. for the reason that the
farms of Eastern. Oregon do not
raise the king of the festal board in
numbers produced in former years..
The cause is not explained. hut the
effect is noticeable in market quota
tions. The scarcity Of turkeys in the
Willamette valley has caused the fowls
there to soar skyward In price. and at
Oakland. the home Of the turkey.
the stock has been bargained by CAL
ifornia buyers early in the season.
Time was when band Of turkeys
ranged on nearly every farm In the
Inland Empire, and the big.birds were
nearly as common as chickens. The
sly coyote in those days was the only
pest to Ee guarded against in bringing
the flock to maturity and everybody
had turkey for Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinner.
or late years the farmers wife has
gone out of the turkey business almost
entirely, the result being that the cold
storoage firms are relied upon to sup
ply the demand.
Oregon's principal supply this year
will come from the product shipped
from the Eastern and middle states.
The local demand will &c mp to its
usual standard and Athena people
will be supplied principally through
the local meat market, the proprietora
of which will strive to secure the best
grade of stock possible.

MISSIONARY DIES IN INDIA
Sister Of Mrs. Joseph N. Scott Sue
cumbs to Fever.

Friends OF Mrs. Charles Rutherford
formerly Miss Gertrude Preston, sistel
of Mrs. Joseph N. Scott. will be
shocked to hear of her untimely
death, which occurred on October 18
1911, at the American Baptist Mission
10 India. where her husband was sta
toned as missionary pastor.
The distressing details were received
ty the Press through private letter
from Mr.. J. N. Scott. who with his
wife and little daughter. arrived at
Huntington Beach, Cal. the home of her
parents, on November 1eth. two days
after receipt OF the sad news.
Eleven days &fter the birth of her
child. Mrs. Rutherford was seized with
deadly attack of maiarial fever, to
which she suocumbed after a three
days struggle. Naive Christians,
at their own request, tore her remains
on their shoulders distance of more
than mile, to their last resting place.
The casket was placed under ground
in cement receptacle and covered
with solid masonry.
The lady was last seen by her fam.
lily and friends in this country In the
summer of 1907, when she left the
United States for a seven years stay
in the foreign fleld. She was nearing
her 3lst birthday, being the old
est of family of nine children, the
youngest having died some years ago.
The parents, both of whom are In del.
cate health. are said to be almost pros
trated by the sad news.

Matter and Force.

There Is no such thing as loss OF
matter or force. The so called "con-
servatlon' of matter and its forces
was demonstrated years ago by Joule
ana other scientists. When, for In
stance, a thing "burns up as we say,
the substances that give out the light
and heat are changed, not destroyed.
The wood or whatever tho substance
happens to be becomes ashes and gas,
and If we could gather up all the prod
ucts Of the burning we should find
that they had not lost q particle OF
their weight and that the form Of them
only was changed. The eternity OF
matter was teaching of the old Greek
philosophers, or Of some Of them al
least, and the modern teaching Of the
conservation or indestructibility Of the
stuff OF the universe would seem to
corroborate the ancient idea.-New

He FINDS A NEW DEFINITION
Walla Walla Means Pastures" or
LEAF of the Sunflower,',

A new. and it Is thought to be a
true definition of the Indian name
"Walla Waila" has been discovered
by Major Lee Moorhouse. former In.
dian agent for the Umatilla Indians
and a man perhaps more familiar with
the early history of the states Of the
northwest than any other living agent.
Major Moorhouse, in his present
duties as claim agent for the Indian
nation In their efforts to sutstantiate
certain claims against the United
States government and running back
to the year 1855, discovered in GER
tain Indian records the meaning of
the word Walla Walla. Later inter-
views held with certain chiefs of tho
Umatilla nation leads him to believe
that the word should have been orig
inally interpreted pastures" and fur
ther Investigations he find that in the
local. sense the word pastures means
"land of the sunfiower."
Further proof of this meaning is
found In the fact that the Walla Wal.
la valley was especially prolific OF the
sunfower In its wild state and that
the red men took the name for that
fact.
The name Walla WalIa has for
many years been Interpreted to mean
"the meeting of waters" but the new
discovery of Major Moorhouse lends
truth to the belief that the real word
has been wrongly interpreted for many
years.
Further discussion of the meaning
of Indian words on the part of Major
Moorhouse brought up the question
Of "Wallula" which has been gener-
ally understood to mean either "the
land of the flowing wind'' or smear
the waters" In the opinion of Major
Moorhouse. basing bis find on the new
knowledge already gained, this deHni-
tion Is entirely wrong. and he has
promised to use bis best efforts among
the older Indians of the Umatilla
tribe to find out the original meaning
of the word.

WILSON WILL Be
LIVE CANDIDATE
ATHENA MAN WILL SEEK CON-
GRESSI0AAL NOMINATION.
Announces His Candidacy
In Portland and Outlines Is
sues He Stands For.

| Attorney s. F. Wilson of this city
announces his candidacy for Congress
from this district. While in Portland
last week, Mr.. Wilson was interview.
ed by the Oregon Journal. and ID
quoted as saying:
II expect to make vigorous cam
paign. and it will be somewhat differ
ent from others in this state. shall
arrange for meetings in different parts
Of the district where an educational
discussion can be had of political
topics. Prominent progressives will be
invited to speak at these meetings and
| give informing talks.
Among the matters which / expect
to make issues In my campaign are
the development Of irrigation on the
Umatilla reservation and adjoining
lands and the question of tonnage tolls
through the Panama canal.
"The Umatilla Indians have about
100000 in fund derived from the
sale Of tribal lands. A large part of
the reservation can be irrigated from
Pine creek and greatly increased In
value. Adjoining the reservation are
other lands that may be irrigated
from the same source. I shall advor
cate the adoption of plan to use part
OF the tribal funds along with an ap-
portionment from the government re-
olamation funds for the irrigation of
this land, and will work to that end
if 60 to congress.
| "The question of tolls through the
Panama canal is one that calls for
early action. The railroads would
like to have heavy tolls to prevent
effective competition by water, and
congress should see to 1t that the BEN
eft Of the canal Is not lost to the
people.
II am a progressive in national pol.
tics. believe in presidential primar-
les and election of United States sem
ators by the people. telieve in up
holding the established progressive
laws of Oregon.
!, 81 am inclined to believe the pres
ent administration is making mistake
! in its attacks on big business under
!, the Sherman law. Colonel Roosevelt
more nearly expresses my ideas. The
big corporations should be controlled
by government regulation, and not
made the subject of constant attack in
the courts. 1t will be too big task
to tempt TO regulate all these cor
porations by suits in the courts.

MORE MACADAM
ROAD PROPOSED
WALLA WALLA OUT FOR ONE
HUNDRED MILE STRETCH.
Commissioners Of Umatilla
and Walla Walla Counties
May Work Jointly.

The Walla Walla Union grows op-
simistic concerning the good roads
movement inaugurated by Athena and
Weston with the completion OF the
maoademized road between the two
towns. The Union says:
Preliminary arrangement for th,
building of 12-mile road from Mil
ton to Walla Walla have been made.
and it is only question of time
when the two place will be connect
ed by fine boulevard. The county
authorities Of UmatiIla county have
agreed to take care OF the south eud
of the road. and assurances have been
granted by the county commissioners
of Walla Walla county that they will
meet il with like road from this city
to the state line. The proposition upon
which the Oregon people will work is
that Of the Athena Weston road. The
county will furnish the rock and the
crusher, and the farmers living along
the line are to haul the rock to and
from the crusher. Petitions are being
circulated and generally signed in the
district from Milton -Freewater to
tine state line and it is believed there
will be no difficulty in securing pledg-
es for the necessary amount OF work.
@. W. Miller and Il. e. Frazier Of
the Milton Commercial Club are in
charge of the preliminary work.
County Commissioners Ell. NJ. Cock
burn and Horace Walker Of Umatilla
county have conferred with the coun-
ty commissioners OF this county and
have assurance OF the building OF the
road. It will of necessity be under
the new state law but it is more than
| likely the two miles of macadam al I.
ready constructed tetween here and
College Place will be utilized as part
OF the new highway.
This would leave but about six or
seven miles to build.
The building of this road would be
a great thing for the country 1t woFsld
serve, 1t would make haaIi6g of
produce much easier in both direc-
tions and would furnish an automobile
highway that would be much used.
With its completion the Oregon
people are planning the building of
road from Milton to connect with the
Athena w eston highway and later
to extend that road to Pendleton. In
this state there is movement on foot
In Walla Walla county to build road
from Walla Walla to Waitsburg as
soon as the Dixie orusher Is 10 opera
tong and to extend 1t to the Columbia
county line. where 1t is said that coun-
ty will pick it up and take 1t to Day
ton. i
With these roads completed there
would be 100 mile continuous mao
adam highway through the entire
Walla Walla Valley.

A Trail of Twisted Trees.


All manner Of devices have been en-
ployed to mark line of march, but It
is thought that the most curious
method Of blazing the traip' Is that
still to be seen in Africa. In the
year 1885, after fierce battle with
the Abyssinians, the dervishes pur-
sued their foes as far as the lake dis
trict. The mahdi's men had small
knowledge of geography and little to-
biographical intelligence. So the ad-
vance party, in order to mark the
route for those who came after and
also to guide the force on their return
journey, twisted the sapllngs along the
way into living knots. The war end
ed, but the tied up trees grew and
fiourished, although uncouthly twisted
and distorted, and are now the only
reminders Of that uprising Of the der
wishes.
