$1,000 for Injuries.

Dan P. Smithe, the Pendleton
attorney one Of the Smythe Bros,
who was seriously injured by a
Northern Pacific train near Stam-
pede, Wash, in June 1910, and
suffered the loss of an arm, sued
the company for 100000. The
case was tried before a jury in
the U. S. Circuit Court at Port
land the past week, and on Fri
day verdict was returned in the
sum of $1,000. Judge Bennett of
The Dalles was Smythe's attorn-
ey, and the small sum allowed
by the jury was a surprise as

Council Meeting.

City Council met on Monday
evening, and in the absence of
Mayor Van Vactor, Councilman
Oscar Minor presided. There
was full attendance of the
council. The ordinance pertain
ing to licensing of meat and pro-
duce pedlers was read third time
but not passed, as it seemed to be
the expression to modify, rather
than to do away with a license of
this sort entirely. Thereupon the
city attorney was instructed
to prepare another ordinance,
leaving the amount of license in
blank. The present law requires
peddlers of this kind to pay an an
nual fee of S100, and tits probable
that this will be reduced to about
$40 per annum. The marshal was
instructed to inform property
owners to seek some other means
of getting water into the streets
from the roofs of buildings than
running it over the sidewalks.
The council was also asked for a
refund of license money paid into
the city treasury by parties who
formerly run the stone saloon,
and also Dennis McNamee's place.
These people were instructed to
present their claims in proper
shape and they would receive
at future meeting
of the council.

Big Rabbit Shoot.

Out on Eight Mile last Satur-
day the citizens Of the upper and
lower sections came together to
count out the scalps of the big
rabbit shoot that had been on for
a couple of weeks out that way.
Theodore Anderson was captain
OF one team, and Herb Olden of
the other, and there was some
splendid shooting on both sides.
The count revealed the killing of
887 rabbits, of which number
Olden's team had 407 and Ander-
sons 480. The champion hunters
were A. A. McCabe with II to his
credit; this was tied by a like num-
Der killed by Henry Peterson,
while Walter Robson came in for
next highest with 54. Sometime
in the near future a big oyster
supper is to be given by the loos7
ing team, but the date is not yet
fixed. This was certainly pretty
good piece of work and will be the
means of reducing the rabbit
supply on Eight Mile to a very
considerable extent.

Not Insane.

Silas Harris, an old soldier liv-
ing on his homestead near Park
ers Mill, was brought to town
on Wednesday last to be eXamin-
ed as to his sanity. He had been
accused of drawing his gun on the
storekeeper at the mill and max
ing serious threats against that
gentleman, and he also made
pretty vigorous resistance to be-
ing taken in charge by the deputy
sheriff who went after him.
However, on a hearing before
Judge Patterson, it was decided
that old gentleman was not a sub
ject for commitment to the asy-
lum, so he was allowed to return
to his home, after surrendering
his gun into the hands of Sheriff
Hayes. The fact that he drew a
gun on the man at the store was
admitted by Harris, but that gen.
tleman refused to swear out a
complaint and start criminal pro-
ceedings, so it is quite likely that
further action in the case will be
postponed indefinitely, and in the
meantime it is hoped that there
will be no further trouble be-
tween Harris and his neighbors.

School Notes.
BY sUPT. NoTSoN.

On the 10th inst, | visited the
! Lexington school. Under the di-
rection of Prof. r. B. Wilcox and
Misses Wilma Burrows, Anna
Johnson and Bertha Morgan, the
work is moving along harmonious
ly and successfully. Inoted some
excellent product maps in Miss
Burrows and Miss Johnson's
rooms. Several pupils had also
constructed relief maps from
putty. Rev. O. E. Reade gives
each room one lesson a week in
vocal music. A fine large flag
floats from the fiag-pole in the
yard. A bubbling fountain has
been provided. The Smith Sys-
tenn of heating and ventilating
has been installed in each room.
A good supply of fresh air is en-
tering the room at all times and
is heated before it circulates
throughout the room. Provision
is made for adding moisture to
the air as it is heated. In case
the supply of fresh air should
seem a little deficient, the win
dows are provided with boards,
so that an abundance of air may
be admitted without throwing
any one in a draft of air. This is
most excellent, as the foundation
for catarrh and pneumonia may
easily be laid by allowing a cur
rent Of cold air to fall upon a pu-
pill at work. If the room should
become over-heated, | am in
formed that the windows are
thrown open and the pupils re-
luired to march or take calls
5henic drill. This prevents any
Dad results. Prof. Wilcox re-
CARDS health conditions as of the ;
irst Importance.
One of the books for the read
ng circle work for the present
year is McMurry's 'How to ;;
Study" The State University
1xtensian Department has made
to give a course
dong this line, using McMurry's
)ook, Earheart's Teaching Chill
lren to Study" and Dewey's !
How We Think. This is a .
splendid course and many teach F.,
RS are taking advantage of it. !
The cost is slight, and the results
will be valuable. Miss Montana :
