HERE IS ANYTHING

as the division among the Re publicans seem daily to be- come more marked. It will be remembered that the pro- gressives protested against the manner in which the con- nittees were made up, and to emphasize their protest war was declared upon Senator Gallinger who had been se- lected for the position of Pres ident pro tenn. At the pres ent time the House of Repre- sentatives Is waiting upon the Senate, and 1t can hardly be affirmed that the latter body has succeeded in getting down to business, even though sev- eral weeks have elapsed since the reconvening of Congress. The Republicans seem to be farther. apart than ever, and it is plainly apparent that no unity of action can be secured among the membership of the party in the Senate. All the big bills are still practically untouched, and no one can safely predict that a single matter constituting the big legislation that is to come up later, will command the uni fled Republican vote. The Democrats are a little closer together but nevertheless there are marked divisions in the membership of that party in the Senate. It begins to look as though the country must spend the entire sum- mer listening to Senators of the different creeds tell of their woes. The only import ant piece of legislation that seems to have been cleared is that providing for the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people, and the probabilities are that Sen ator .Borah's resolution will pass. Canadian reciprocity has already been bitterly as- sailed by number of Sena- tors who are waiting to renew their objections upon the floor. Protests of the strong est kind are being urged against the measure before the committee, and the strong est power in opposition comes from the farmers. Before this measure went to the Senate, MT. Cummins of Iowa outlined his position in a speech made in New York, in which he said that he would attempt to amend the meas ure. The progressives in the House were among the strong est factors ill opposition to the bill, and their course indicates 4glte clearly that the treaty in it's present form will be vigor- ously assailed by the same branch of the Republican party in the Senate. There are even those who are pre- dieting that the treaty will fail in the upper Chamber, but the larger number of peo- pie state that it will pass in some form.

A Bad Accident.

As a result OF bad accident with
gasoline. Earl and Robert Wilson, o!
Kokomo, were seriously burned about
the face and arms, Wednesday night
OF last week Ira Wilson and his sous
were seeding broomcorn that night,
and just rs they were completing their
work the gasoline gave out in the en-
gine. Earl and Robert went TO the
tank TO get the oil They had n
lighted lantern with them. This
they set in the doorway Of the
shed where the gas tank was kept, and
about six feet from the same, They
proceeded To draw the gasoline and
in an instant they were enveloped in
flames. They ran out Of the fire and
rolled on the ground, cxtingusihing the
flames Of their burning clothing, but
not before they had been seriously
burned about the hands, arms and
face Robert, in particular, was bad
ly burned on both arms, and his face
painfully scared Earl was only burn
ed on one hand, and that not serious
ly. though it, too, was very painful.
The building, buggy shed in which
the tank was kept and chicken house
adjoining, were destroyed, and also a
large cottonwood tree standing near.
For time il looked like the barn and
house v Would also be consumed.
The young mems injuries are much
improved at this time, and it is not
thought that they will suffer any ser-
Gus effects. 1t certainly was narrow
escape, and again proves that we can't
afford to take any chances with gas
oline.

A Dastardly Trick.

Somebody moved the corner stone
on the Christian church building dur
ing the following night after the Ma
sons had placed the stone. The brick
masons who are on the job report that
the stone was out Of place the follow
ing morning and many of the brick
that formed the corner were out of
line. 1t required an hours work to
get the stone in place and repair the
break made.
Is it possible that this is an act of
vandalism? There is every indication
to show that someone was displeased
with the manner of placing the stone
or was possessed OF hatred for the
church, An investigation is being
made and II the person is caught there
will be music for him to hear. There
is a law for disturbing property, rob-
bing graves, and marring corner stones
of the churches. The coward possessed
of such a spirit, and attempting to de-
stroy the work and to mar stone is
considered a menace to the community.

Richardson Booms Baltimore.

TCm Richardson, erstwhile Portland
booster, is holding what be calls "oom-
mercial evangelistic meetings" in Bal
timore. He started two weeks ago to
raise $500, 900 for the Greater BaIti-
more committee. His methods are
new to Baltimore people, Never have
they had such revival. For Gen
tury Baltimore has been regarded as
the rock of conservatism. Business
was conducted along old and staid
lines. The first thing Richardson did
when he landed was to refer to the
town as having "cobblestones. He
suggested that the way to get rid of
"oobblestones" was to ''toot your own
horn" T" He urged the staid bankers
who had never attended "livewire"
meeting to ''make noise.' 1t was
something decidedly new, and so fun
ny to them that it felt good. Then
when Richardson added: "Blow your
whistles and let the world know you
are living" it was such an eye-opener
that the bankers began to sit up and
take notice.

NEED MORE WAGONS
Additional Teams Will Be Put on
County Road Work-Force, at
Quarry Supply Plenty Rock.

The big rock orusher hae been ham
mering away this week at the quarry
below town. The machinery is work
ing we'll, three grades of rock going
iuto the bins from which the wagons
are loaded. This week five teams have
been hauling the rock to the roadway
which has been surfaced east of town.
The steam roller passes over the
crushed rock as it Is spread. leaving
the surface smooth and even. The
work was reviewed Saturday by Coun-
ty Judge Maloney and Commissioner
Walker.
The present force at the quarry can
supply rock to several more teams
than are on the work at present, and
the county will send more wagons to
Athena at once. At least ten teams
will be at work next week. and may
he twelve, if the wagons can be Sc
cured. The county has wagons at
Hermiston and these will be shipped
here.
The big orusher is capable Of furn-
ishing rock enough to keep the add
tional teams going, and when they
are put on, the work will progress
much faster than at present.
High grade work is to be done on
the new road. Farmers who will do
the hauling will be in position to
furnish all the teams necessary in a
few days, when plowing in this vioin-
ity will be about completed.

VICTOR SH|Ck DEAD
Death Claims an Old Time Resident in
the Prime of Life--Leaves Wife
and Six Children,

Victor M. Shick, an old time resi-
dent of Athena. died in this city Fri.
day night. at 10 o'clock, after several
days intense suffering from diabetes.
Mr.. Shiok and family left their
nome in Stevens county, Wash, a
couple or more weeks prior to his
death, coming to Athena in the hope
that the change would benefit his de-
clining health. For several days he
seemed to improve but the disease had
gained stronger hold on him than
any one suspected, and he steadily de-
clined until the e2d came.
The funeral was held at the Chris
tian church Sunday afternoon at l 80,
the Masonic Lodge. of which he was
a memb Der, attending in body. A.
Mackenz Meldrum delivered the ser
mon. Mr.. Schiok has Eeen mem ber
of the Christian church since 1S years
of age.
He was born in Arlington, Wash
ington county, Nebraska. At the
time of his death be was aged 42
years. He spent his boyhood in Ath-
ena, being a graduate of the Athena
schools. He married Miss Mary Kirk,
daughter of Lee Kirk, who with
four sons aud two daughters survives
him. He also leaves father and To-
ther. Mr.. and Mrs. A. Shick, broth
er, Arthur. and sister, Mrs. Zeph
Lockwood, all residents of this CITY.
For several years he was engaged in
the grocery business here, being the
junior member of the firm of Rosen-
zweig q Shick. After disposing Of
his interests here, Mr.. Shick farmed
in Idaho for short time, and later
purchased hardware store in Addy,
Wash, where the home of the fam
lily is at present.
He was known as an upright man,
aud had a wide circle of friends in this
part of the county. all of whom sym
pathize with the relatives IN their
bereavement.

TO PATENT FOOTH|LL LANDS
Laffertv Will Introduce Bill in Con-
gress.

If bill introduced recently in the
house of representatives by Congress-
man A. W. Latferty has successful
progress through congress thousands
of acres of land will be added to the
taxable property of Umatilla county
aud hundreds of people who have paid
for tracts of land will receive patents
therefor without spending a year OF
their lives in remote foothills where
none of the advantages Of civilization
are enjoyed says the East Oregonian.
The bill would do away with the res
idencs requirement in the issuance of
patents upon lands in the Umatilla
reservation providing the secretary of
interior be given satisfactory proof
that the untim bered lands in question
are not susceptible of cultivation or
residence and are exclusively grazing
lands, incapable of any profitable use
other than for grazing purposes.
The lands which would be affected
by this bill lie IN the foothills and are
absolutely barren of timber. At the
time allotments were made to the In
dians, there was an immense amount
Of land not taken and this was ap
praised and placed on sale by the gov
ernment. The soabby land in the
foothills was almost wholly ignored,
the price of one dollar and a quarter
an acre fixed by the appraisers being
considered too high. However, as it's
grazing utility teoame apparent, much
of the land was bought and paid for
but patent was withheld because tho
purchasers refused to fulfill the resi-
denoe requirement. Two previous
bills have been passed by congress pro-
viding for the issuance to purchasers
without living for year on the lands
and Mr.. Laderty's bill would extend
the same privilege to those who have
bought these lands since the passage
of the last of these two bills.
