WEST CHARGES ARE
REFUTED BY BOOTH
X. A. Booth, Republican Candidate
for United States Senator Proves
Truth With Documents.

Backed by absolute proofs, p. A.
Booth, Republican candidate for Uni
ted States Senator, tore to pieces
every charge brought against him by
Governor West in the famous Booth
West meeting at Portland. When
Booth had finished he had disproved
the accusations of West in every par
ticular, showing that the Governor
had not leg to stand on in making
his charges. Booths proofs were
government records, documents and
decisions of the courts.
Booth, to show the character of
West, the man who was attacking his
honesty and business methods, read
from records showing that West,
when State Land Agent under Cham
berlain, was working for Detective
Burns in stacking the jury box which
was to try the land cases of 1905.
West was one of the detectives whose
work was to find out if citizens we're
for conviction and when they were
strong for conviction their names
were placed in the box from which
jurors were to be drawn at the trials.
Booth also showed that West collect
ed $3.50 mileage from the Govern
ment when at most he was entitled
to but $11 and when Federal officers
accused him of being a CRATER West
turned this money into the state
treasury, minus $50. The trip which
West charges the Government for he
also charged the State as Railroad
Commissioner.
Having given the audience a view
TO Vests character, Booth took up
one by one the charges which West
made and refuted them completely,
showing that West was wrong in ev-
cry instance. Time after time Booth
proved that West was making false
statements. 1t was refutation COM
plete and in detail.
The meeting was the most disor-
derly political gathering in the his
tory o. Portland. There was an or
gani5a7 crowd of West partisans
whsA wsre determined to prevent
Booth from answering the charges.
Appeals for fair play were utterly
ignored and they insisted on inter
rupting Booth at every opportunity
West himself was Kissed when he re-
fused to explain his connection with
Burns and he was hissed when he
belittled the religion of Booth. The
Booth-West meeting has helped
Booth immensely.

AUTO BACKS INTO DITCH.

j. H. Hayes and wife and small
daughter had narrow escape from
death last Tuesday evening when
ther large automobile, in which they
were riding to their ranch, backed
down over a bank near the J. j. Ad-
kins home in south Heppner. They
had Just crossed the small bridge
which spans the deep ditch at that
point, and were taking the steep lit
tie hill on the other side. The en-
gine "died" and the car began to
back down slowly, in spite of Mr..
Hayes's effort to stop 1t. The bridge
was missed, and the car dropped
back end foremost into the ditch.
Mrs. Hayes and the little girl were
thrown out of the car and were bad
ly bruised, but Mr.. Hayes, by hang
ing onto the steering wheel, was able
to remain in the seat. 1t was only
by good fortune that the auto did not
turn over completely. The car was
taken out of the ditch yesterday
morning, apparently in an unharmed
condition.

Some excitement was caused last
Friday night when Howard McDuf-
fee, the 11-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George McDuffee, failed to come
home at the regular time. The boy
had never stayed out late, and the
fact that when he left home he had
no coat on, was a cause for alarm.
Mr.. McDuffee started out about 3
o'clock to look for the boy. He had
been to the depot earlier in the eve
ming in company with two of his bro
theirs, and they left him there when
they started for home. A thorough
search of the railroad yards revealed
no trace of the boy. After making
the rounds of several of the homes
of Howard's boy friends, Mr.. Nc
Duffee learned that he had been with
Tom Boyd's boy at the football rally.
1t was nearly four O'Clock in the
morning when Mr.. McDuffee called
at the Boyd residence, and sure
enough, his boy had gone home with
young Boyd and rolled in for the
night. His father was much relieved
upon finding him, and he made him
get up and dress and go home.

Increasing the Profit on Grain Fed
to Hogs.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Ore, Oct. 2S.-By putting pro-
tein into grain fed to hogs the feeder
nearly doubles on every cent invested
economically in protein material.
Skim milk or butter milk in the pro-
portion of one and one half pound Of
milk to one pound of grain will pro-
duce much more efficient use of the
grain, parts, OF which are not utiliz-
ed when grain is fed alone. Grain
does not contain all the feed elements
in the right proportion to suit the
pigs needs.
Where milk is not available tank
age makes the cheapest protein sup
ply in Oregon. Ten pounds of tank
age at $50 ton added to 80 pounds
of grain at present prices increases
the cost of 100 pounds of feed ten
cents, but it increases the pork yield
2.65 pounds, which at 7 cents per
pound amounts to S1S.55 per hun
dred The cost of this increase
yield was but $40.
"In terms of returns per hundred
pounds of grain on the hog, the feed
er secures S7.5 cents more by feed
ing tankage with grain than by feed
ing grain straight says Professor
Samson, who conducted the feeding
tests "In terms of the price that the
pigs return for 100 pounds of grain
the tankage causes them to return
23.3 cents more, which is 34,66 more
per ton. If pigs were paying only
market prices for grain fed alone,
this $4.66 may justly be counted as
the feeders profit. This profit is
further increased in the fertilizing
value of the manure"

"a INCHES IN "a HOURS.

F. D. Cox of Hinton creek, exper-
fenced a very painful accident last
Saturday, when porcupine quill, an
inch in length, entered his back just
below the shoulder blade. Mr.. Cox
was alone at the time. He had just
killed the porcupine and had placed
the animal in sack. In throwing
the sack over his shoulder, one of
the quills stuck fast in his back. He
could not remove it himself and be-
fore he could receive help, the quill
had worked far in out of sight. 1t was
"a hours before he got to doctor in
Heppner. Doctor McMurdo located
the quill in one of the suffering
mans tonsils and removed it after
a skillful operation. Mr.. Cox is rap
idly recovering from the injuries in
fiicted by the quill and the operation
which was necessary to remove it,
