UMATILLA HAS
SEVERE STORM
FARMERS ARE JOYFUL
snowfall Will Be Boon to Them
Train service Almost Tied Up and
Most All Trains Are Delayed
Heaviest Fall of Winter-Every-
body Busy Clearing Walks.

Umatilla county now lies wrapped
in a blanket of fleecy snow heavier
than any previous covering this win
ter. Slightly over three inches was
the fall during the day yesterday and
Saturday night, according to the Of
ficial guage made by E. F. Averill,
local weather observer The snow
made moisture precipitation of AZ
of an inch.
AS a result of the snowfall yester-
day sidewalk clearing has been the
order of the day and thrifty house
holders have been busy everywhere
sweeping off the walks in front OF
their premises. For an hour or more
this morning the business section was
scene of hustle while janitors
cleared away the snow from in front
of the business houses. Complaint is
made because the authorities are not
requiring that snow be cleared away
from in front of all places whether
occupied or not.
snow VIII DO Good.
From an industrial standpoint the
snow is regarded as wholly beneficial.
/ Farmers want the snow and would
welcome a heavy fall since the mois-
! ture would be beneficial and the snow
would provide protection for the
wheat The moisture supply so far
this rainy season is slightly ahead of
the normal precipitation.
Cattlemen and sheepmen also say
they are willing to have it snow
Sheepmen point out that they are pre-
pared to feed and would rather have
the snow stay on during the feeding
season than to have several snow
storms. The after effects of a snow
storm fall harder on sheep than thu
storm itself so sheepmen prefer one
big storm to several small SHOWS.

twenty-five miles from the county

There are no old records to show
the exact date of it's being built, but
from what we are able to learn from
the older residents Of the district, it
has been here about forty years. This
has never been a very large school,
for the past twenty years, not more
than twenty-five pupils enrolled, and

Welding two pieces of metal togeth-
er by the old processes was at best
unreliable. When the strain on the
welded joint was heavy. you never
knew whether it was going to hold or
not. But with the use of electricity
in making the weld, the fiber of the
two.pieces OF metal are made o flow
into each otter and so become prac
ticalIy one piece. The success of this
new method was recognized at once,
and now you have hardly tool or
piece of machinery on your farm but
what is electrically welded where
there is a juncture of metals. The
present state of perfection of garden
and barnyard tools, mowers. reapers,
binders. threshers, cultivators, kitchen
utensils, dairy machinery, edge tools.
chains, automobile engines Eand steer
ing gears. bottoms of oil Gals. frames
of bicycles. ETC., is made possible
through electric welding. The same
process produces "Pittsburg Perfect"
electrically welded wire fencing. made
by the Pittsburg Steel Company.
whose advertisements are Appearing
regularly in this paper. "Pittsburg
Perfect" fencing ia solid, one piece
fabric with many distinctive advan-
tages, among them being the ease with
which it is strung, the great tension
to which it can be stretched because
Of the absolute elimination of ''long"
and "short" line wires, the smooth
surface making wire-cuts impossible,
and the neat appear ance of the fence.
The welded joints in "Pittsburg Per-
feet" are twice as strong as the wire
itself. because two wires are made in
to one by electricity, which also piles
the galvanizing around the joints, add

Modern methods of manufacture in
many lines have been greatly bene-
flied bv the discovery and practice of

Removing Bad Impression.

During the textile strike aud the
accompanying riotlng and other law
lessness in Lawrence, Mass, year or
so ago, that city received a large
amount of free advertising of an 1un-
enviable character.
Lawrence, to be sure, has it's good
points, it's advantages and attractions,
but the public did not hear anything
of these while the city was struggling
with strike condi tions. Since quiet
was restored some OF the good citizens
have been discussing ways and means
of removing the bad impression that
was made on the country at large.
Out of the discussion at least one nov
ell idea was evolved. Someone offered
the suggestion that the children of the
seventh and eighth grades of the
grammar schools write short letters to
the editors of :he newspapers and to
the superintendent of schools all over
the United States giving their views
of Lawrence and of the strike which
brought the city so much notoriety.
The plan found favor with teachers
and pupils and more than one thousand
such letters bave been written. If
nothing more should be accompli shed
the letters will cow ince those who
receive them that Lawrence is not
wholly composed.of strikers. tbups and
toughs. as they might have inferred
from reading the press dispatches a
year ago; that the city is making pro-
gress educationally and otherwise and
that no traveller need fear to pass
through town. or even to stop over
night. The epistolary effort is COM
mendable and with good behavior in
the future Lawrence should be able to
outlive thesmaladorous publicity of the
asst. -

New Nickel Rogues.

Word has reached the Treasury De-
partment that its chaste, new five cent
pieces. the glorified nickels, adorned
with buffalo and Indian head, are al
ready the subject of emulation and
suspicion. says the New York Sun.
Before the public in general has had
time .or opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the original enterprising
gentlemen have begun to issue imita-
tions, similar in every respect save the
inconvenient one that they are compos-
ed of lead. II is possible that those
responsible for these counterparts are
imply esthetic souls who have been
unable to wait for the new nickel to
come to them in due coul sc, and whose
only motive is the desire to feast their
eyes on the artistic splendor of the
new design. The secret service bu-
reau, however. inclines to tine belief
that they are counterfeiters pure and
simple, and actuated by reasons entire

Only Is Per Cent OF Land
Improved.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an article showing
how explosives can be used in clearing
land. The author says that with in
telligent handling there is practically
no danger, and excellent results are
secured after little practice. Follow
ing is an extract:
"Only about twenty-five per cent of
the entire land area in the United
States is improved farm land, vet we
already hear the wall of new settlers
and would-be landowners, who find i'm
proved farms too expensive for their
limited capital. and who claim that
unimprOved farm land is more than
scarce. Statistics, however, show that
in Michigan and Wisconsin nearly fifty
per cent of the land Is t II in the un-
improved class and can De purchased
at very cheap re tie. This unimproved
land consists mostly of cut over timber
lands, lands containing second
growth of timber and rocky lands too
rough 10 be profitably worked.
"Only those who have tried to clear
such land by the use nf explosives
know how efficient the method is and
what great time and labor saver it
is compared to the primitive man,
horse and machinery method. The
explosive method is of especial inter
est to new settlers and those of limit
ed capital because it requires no large
initial outlay of money, and every
cent invested can be Immediately used
for the purpose of clearing up the
farm. Besides this. if properly ham
died explosives are as lsafe as the ma
chinery method. Explosives will do
as good work In clearing land as the
most expensive machinery and gener-
ally at less total cost.
