HORSE AND MULE RAISERS
TO ORGANIZE IN COUNTY
MEETING WILL BE HELD MAY 1
SHOW TO BE HELD HERE
SOME TIME IN FALL.

With view to holding horse
and mule show in Pendleton some
time this fall. an organization OF
Umatilla county horse and mule rails
ers is to be formed in the immediate
future. A call meeting is to be held
in the Commercial club rooms at 2
o'clock on the afternoon Of May /.
at which time steps will be taken to
band together the breeders into a
county organization which will be-
come a subordinate part of the state
association of horse and mule raisers.
A committee consisting Of DR.. e.

making preliminary nrenaratlons Tor
the meeting They have arranged
that either Prof. Potter or Prof. Ken
nedy of the Oregon Agricultural coll
lege will be here on May to address
the meeting. Prof Potter was here
yesterday and strongly advocated
the organization.
Umatilla county at this time Ia the
richest county in the state in pure
bred stations, according to state sta
tistics. There are sixty OF these stall
lions in the county besides a number
Of pure-bred jacks. In fact horse
raising on a scientific basis has
grown to big proportions over the
county and it is believed an organlza-
ton and an annual show will do
much to stimulate It further.
II IS the intention TO hold the horse
and mule show in this city sometime
during the fall, probably at Roundup
Park. The show will be independent
Of all other shows or fairs and the
stock VIII be judged by outside men
who are competent to pass upon the
stock.

TASTING WITH THE NOSE
and Drink 10 Not Through
Sense Of Taste.

Sir Ray Lancaster, the eminent man
of science, asserted that the flavor of
food and drink does not come to us
through the sense of taste. That
sense, he says, can only furnish SEN
sations that correspond to the chemi-
cal composition of the substances pre-
sented to it. These sensations, while
almost infinite in their shadings, are
few in number. We can distinguish by
taste only sweetness, bitterness.
sourness, and sadness, although the
various intensities Of these sensations
are innumerable. The distinctive fla.
vor of various foods is not the result
Of chemical action, and II not per.
ceived by the taste nerves. F1avors
excite the olfaotory nerve instead, and
are tra4smitted by 1t to the brain. A
person whose sense of smell is i'm.
paired is unable to detect the flavor
of the food he eats, although he has
the taste sensation that it stimulates
This is an explanation Of the effect
that Influenza often has apparently on
the taste, but, really. on the sense Of
smell.

NEW IDEA IN ExCAvATING
Hydraulic Mining Cartridge 10 Said "a
Be tho Most Powerful Yet
Devised.

1t is often hard. and sometimes dan.
gerous. to use ordinary explosives for
mining and excavating in confined
spaces, a fact that has led to the de.
velopment of the hydraulic mining
cartridge as a safe and effective sub.
stitute. The cartridge consists of a
steel cylinder containing numerous
small pistons that expand when water
is injected into them with a hand
pump. After drilling a deep enough
hole, the workmen insert the cylinder
and then set to work at the hand
pump. The tiny pistons expand until
their free extremities bear against the
mass Of rock with constantly-increas
ing force, and the rock is gradually
fractured under the tremendous pres

shady side of the car.
Myra let her mind drift. Then she
must have dozed. 1t was quite dusk

lighted when the train slowed up and
the conductor sang out:

Why the Stars Twinkle,

Although the twinkling of the stars
is commonly referred to. they do not
twinkle at all. The stars are really
suns that throw out light, just as Cur
sun lights the earth.
When the rays of light from the
stars strike the air which surrounds
the earth they have to pierce many
little particles which are always float
ing about in the atmosphere. It is this
interference between us and the
source of light which gives the ap
pearance of twinkling
On certain nights the light of the
stars will appear SO bright and clear
as to attract particular attention. This
is because the air is so clear there Is
less interference than usual with the
rays of light in reaching the earth.

He laughed in q queer, terrifying
way. but Myra was willing to trust

The man kept ahead of her Abruptly
their course was blocked by a high
stockade The man lined this. At
its end was a great gate which stood
barely open. He pushed Myra through

seized her arm and quite forced her
into one OF many small buildings.
There a light burned. Myra gazed
about her In CONSERVATION. 1t held
half q dozen cots and as many reclin-
ing chairs. Each was filled with an
invalid-the bloodless faces and Ian
guild poses told this much.
All" spoke q sudden brisk voice,

the speaker as professional looking
young man, who at once called some
body from outside. Two men appeared
and bore her guide away against his
will. The young man stared strangely
at Myra.
Il cannot understand why you are
here" he spoke, and trembling, fear
filled Myra explained. The young man
looked serious and troubled.
There are two Rushvilles accessi-

said, ION different railroad lines, and

sorry, miss, but you have been ex-
posed to the disease through the folly
Of that escaped patient, and will have
to be quarantined."
1t came upon Myra with shock, but
never was physician more gentle and
reassuring than her courteous, intelli-
gent host. He explained to her that
the law exacted her isolation for four
teen days. He assured her, however.
that she should have a room in the
house himself and his sisters occupied

cines," he explained, land from your
general appearance l believe you will
be immune from infection. as l am

The sisters of the doctor were like
warm-hearted sisters, indeed, to Myra.
They gave her a room by herself. The
next day she had recovered her nat
ural poise and became interested in
their helpful duties. They took care Of
their brothers dispensary, nursed the
convalescents, and Myra felt really
happy and contented AZ they gave her
some cloth to make bandages of, and
became a helper in good work of the
stockade hospital.

And from Myra's rough experience
at the wrong Rushville grew the bless

side by side with her noble husband.
