USUAL AMOUNT CONTRIBUTED
 TO THE CITY MISSION.
Dinners for About 500 Will Be Fur nished Thanksgiving Day. Says City Missionary Northrop.

On Tuesday the collection of the contributions by the school children in the various districts for the dinners for the poor of the city, to be distrib . uted by the City Mission resulted in about the usual amount being receiv- ed. There were 45 barrels in all, loose toes, onions, turnips, cabbage, apples, a few delicacies and canned goods, and there was some money given in that way.
 The cash contributions this year have been very good says City Mis- sionary Northrop, the amount bei1g about usual. This is used to pur- chase meat, tea, coffee. sugar and all that goes to make up substantial din- ners- About 700 hounds of meat has been purchased, and in securing the supplies the merchants contributed materially.
 The afternoon was a busy one at the headquarters, No. Is Water street. made ready to go out again, where they are most needed and will do the most good. Quite a number who are able will go there for the baskets of supplies, but about two-thirds of the number assisted will have their din- ners delivered.
 City Missionary Northrop expects that he will furnish dinners for about 15o families. The families do not av- craze high, but probably about three persons, so that in all about 500 will be provided for on Thursday. This year the baskets will be delivered by Otis auto truck to exepdite the work
 At the headquarters members of the City Mission committee assist the missionary in the work of sorting the contributions and making up the bask- cts. Not all baskets are alike, as such distribution would not satisfy the needs of all classes There will be more for the large families and less for the small. In case of sickness some delicacies will be taken. so that the dinners sent out will be calculated for the particular case.
 There are some changes in the list of families this year, but the number remains about the same. Some may have gone, but there are new ones, and the work shows little variation.

Why Wet Shampoes
 Are Injurious to Hair
(Guide to Beauty.)

Avoid wet shampoos, if you would have soft, lustrous hair and plenty of 1t. More or less free aIkaH in sham poo mixtures robs the scalp of it's necessary oil. and this, in a measure. causes hair to grow dull. brittle and unmanageable.
 'The dry shampoo is rapidly gain ing favor boceuse of it's cleansing and inyigoratfng effect on both hair and scalp. If ounces either of orris root or corn meal and ounces of therox are mixed together and a tablespoon full sprinkled over the scalp, then brushed well through and out of tho hair, all traces of dust and dandruff will be removed and the hair will take on . silkan sheen and richness of color impossible by any other method.'

WORK TO BEGIN JUNE !.
Contract Awarded for StanfieId- Coy
ote Cutoff.

Pendleton- Work on the construc-
tion of the Coyote-Stanfeld cutoff will
be started June l, if nothing unfore-
seen arises to cause change in the
plans of the Oregon Washington com
pany officials.
From sources known to be reliable
it was learned that practically all pre-
parations are now made for beginning
work on the above date. The contract
for work has already been let to
Twohy Bros, and it is understood
they are ready to begin operations
whenever orders to do so arrive from
General Manager James P. O'Brien.
The Coyote cutoff calls for the con-
struction of an additional track from
Coyote, on the Columbia river, across
country to Stanfeld.
The cutoff will eliminate eight
miles of the present distance between
those two points. However, the pres
ent main line track will be continued
in use so as to provide a double track
for the road. Work of building the
cutoff will cost slightly less than ST.
1000, 900, and the building of the road
will add much to the activity of this
section of Oregon during the coming
summer

GOAL FIND sTIRs CITY.
Well Digger Uncovers Good Vein
Mile West of Salem.

Salem - Discovery of what are de-
clared to be bona fide coal deposits on
small tract on the Roberts ranch,
about mile west of Salem, in Polk
county, have set the town agog. The
discovery was made by men employed
on the H. P. Chase drilling machine.
They were seeking for water. At a
depth of SO feet the first coal vein was
found. This vein was thin, being but
five or six inches thick, but was well
defined.
At depth of A feet, deeper vein
was struck, but the coal was broken
up and apparently scattered. The
quality is declared to be excellent and
the indications point to discovery of
some magnitude.
H. P. Chase said that the coal de-
posits discovered west of the river
were found after drilling through a
sandstone rock. He says that while
the present veins discovered are ap-
parently small, the indications are ex-
cellent and that endeavors will be i'm
mediately made to determine just the
extent of the deposits and the value
of the find.

FIFTEEN ACRES OF GRAPES.
NYssa Business Man to Experiment
on Large Scale.

Nyssa-Nyssa this year will have
the distinction of planting the largest
vineyard in Eastern Oregon, and prob
ably in Southern Idaho. This vine
yard will be planted on Bridge island,
one mile south of Nyssa, and will con-
sist of Is acres of grapes, mostly of
the Concord variety. S. N. Emison,
one of the best known residents of
Nyssa, where he has been a business
man for number of years, is behind
the project.
Mr.. Emison has conducted rather
exhaustive experiments on grape cul-
ture here for the past three years.
From Concord grapes he had planted
three years before, Mr.. Emison last
year got an average of 56 pounds of
merchantable grapes from each vine.
When it is realized that $40 grape
vines are planted per acre, it is seen
that at the rate of production just
mentioned an acre of three-year old
grapes would produce 80, 240 pounds of
grapes, or a trife over Is tons per
acre. A fair average price of grapes
is A cents per pound, so that produc-
tion at the above ratio would bring
81, 209. 60 per acre.

SELECT CAPITOL SITE.
Governor Owns Desirable Site, But
Will Say Nothing.

Salem = Governor West has asked
Speaker Rusk of the house of repre-
sentatives, and President Ben Selling
to advise the board in the selection
and location of the new annex to the
capitol. The governor owns a quarter
block of land that is upon the location
desired for the building, but so that
there can be no charge made against
him in the likelihood of the choice of
his property, he will have nothing to
do with it.
The governor says that if his quar-
ter block is selected he will dispose of
it to the state for the amount which
he paid. He holds his lots at $40, 900,
while the same amount of property ad-
joining his is held at SIS, 900, or near
ly twice the amount asked by the gov
ernor. The governors property lies
directly east of the capitol and be-
tween it and the Southern Pacific com
pany's tracks. Speaker Rusk is now
at Salem and the location of the new
capitol annex will be made at once.

:TuMoR CUT FROM BRAIN.
Spokane Woman tUndergoes Delicate
Operation and Lives.

Spokane, March 20-One of the
most rare and difficult operations in
medicals annals, the removal of a tu-
NOR from the pituitary gland at the
base of the brain, was performed at
Sacred Heart hospital, in this city.
The operation, which was performed
by D. Labau, was witnessed by nearly
score of local physicians and 40 nur-
ses. Among the physicians present
were DR.. Solomon W. Shafer, of Johns
Hopkins university, who administered
the anaesthetic, and DR.. E. M. Wolty,
demonstrator of surgery in the Jeffer-
son Medical college, Philadelphia.
The patient was Miss Maude Rupp,
formerly of Evanston, Wyo., but who
for some time has been a resident of
Spokane. Five years ago the tumor
started at the base Of the brain. 1t
caused an enlargement of her extrem-
tiles, which amounted to a deformity,
and pressing on the optic nerve des-
troyed the sight of one eye entirely
and impaired the use of the other.

TO "PLANT" PHEAsANTs.
State Buys 100 Pairs Reeves Species
for Distribution.

Corvallis-Game Warden Stevenson,
of Forest Grove, has just placed an
order with Gene Simpson, the pleas
ant fancier, of Corvallis, for 100 pairs
of the Reeves pheasant, to be deliv-
cred next September. These birds
will be shipped by the game warden
to all parts of the state and turned
loose.
The Reeves pheasant is the largest
of the pheasant family, and is fine
game bird. AS they are hardy and
increase rapidly in the wild state, it
is expected soon to have the forests of
Oregon well stocked with the birds.
Last year Mr.. Simpson supplied the
state with 100 pairs of the pheasants.
They were distributed over Western
Oregon and some were sent to Baker.
They were set at liberty at the various
points by persons who are cooperating
with the game warden and who have
studied the birds as closely as prac-
ticable under the varying conditions.
Reports show that they have come
through the winter in excellent con-
dition.

DIAZ WILL NOT TALK PEACE.
Limantour's Effort in That Direction
Likely to Be in Vain.

Mexico City, March 18.--The inten-
tion Of Finance Minister Limantou, at
tributed to him in dispatches from
New York, of coming to the capital to
induce President Diaz to listen to
terms proposed by the insurrectos, it
is said in official circles, probably will
prove fruitless.
Only recently General Diaz announ-
ced plan which was not one of con-
ciliation, but one of relentless war
fare. The administration no longer
denies that condition of war exists,
but it is maintained that the progress
of the campaign against the rebels has
shown satisfactory results.
The War department explained the
Maderos' campaign in the north has
received a serious setback within the
last four days. Up to the first of this
week revolutionists apparently were
in control of the situation in the state
of Chihuahua.

ARMY PREPARES FOR WAR.
Whole Division Held Ready for Field
in Two Hours.

San Antonio, March 18.-Orders
have been received here from Wash
ington that Major General Carter's
maneuver division shall hold itself in
readiness to break camp and take the
field as it for actual warfare within
two hours.
The order caused much comment,
for the particular reason that IT did
not come in the general maneuvers or
ders issued by Major General Carter
today, but from the seat of govern
ment.
The order to be in readiness for
operations in the field, while it may
be legitimate feature of maneuvers,
is not taken in that sense.
Excepting the generals to whom
long years have taught conservatism,
everyone rejected the maneuver
theory, but could not explain where
war was to be expected.
One officer of prominence today said
he hoped Mexico and the United States
would not become embroiled.

would be no lesson learned, he said.
The unthinking in congress would
have another object to point to, to
show that we can depend on the volun-
teers in an emergency. So we can,
after we have lost rs per cent to teach
the remaining 25 per cent how to fight
"A stronger lesson is needed; Japan
or Germany would do, preferably the
former, because of her geographical
situation. They are quite capable of
reducing us, with their perfect pre-
paredness, whenever ready.
"We have spent ten days in turmoil
gathering handful of men in Texas.
Ultimately we should triumph, but the
ultimate cost would be appalling. 1t
would be much cheaper even in money,
let alone lives, to treble our force
than to take such lesson, considering
the ensuant pension rolls alone.
Officers cannot be quoted for publ
cation where criticisms of superiors is

who made the foregoing statement has
