MEMBER Of GUARD
BACK TO RECRUIT
THIRD BATTALION ADJUTAkT OF
FIRST IOWA REGIMENT RE.
TURNS TO BURLINGTON.

Burlington, Sept. 6. Captain Woell,
hat, battalion adjutant of the Third
battalion of the First Iowa regiment
arrived In the city yesterday and Will
open a recruiting station at the armory
here this morning. Captain Woellhal1
who Is former resident of Burlington
but who now makes his home in Mar
shalltown, says that he hopes to recruit
between 800 and 400 men from south
eastern I owa and feels certain that
many of the young men will enlist.
His work in this connection will take
him all over this district, as the First
regiment comprises the companies OF
Burlington, Keokuk, Fairfield and
Washington, and he expects to visit
other cities. According to Captain
Woellhaf, at least forty more mon are
required for Company and he thinks
that the young men should come for
ward at this time. He stated, as his
personal opinion, that the trouble along
the border was practically at an end
and that the troops would no doubt be
back home within two months and
therefore the young men now enlisting
would have a fine trip to Brownsville
and would become physically better
of, the training being certain to do
them good.
Captain Woellhaf did not 60 to the
border with the First regiment, owing
to the fact that he broke his leg the
day before time for the troops depar-
ture when the horse he was riding fell
down. He was taken to the hospital
and has been on crutches ever since
IN efil1 hoo $@ fhav
Word from the border, he said, indi'
Gated that the camps there were In
fine shape, being better than the camp
at Des Moines. He said that rains
caused discomfort at first, but that
now the weather at Brownsville was
splendid.

STATION SAFE At
M0ULT0N ROBBED
BURLINGTON DEPOT VISITED ~
THIEVES AND SMALL AMOUNT
OF MONEY IS TAKEN.

Moulton, Sept. 6.-The Burlington
depot here was broken into and rob-
bed this morning at about o'clock,
the thief or thieves blowing up the
safe and getting away with $12 and
some small change. The indications
are that nitroglycerine was used, and
not only is the safe completely de-
molished, but the entire room was
topsy turvy. The burglary was dis
covered this morning at o'clock,
when the agent, Levi Buckles, went
down to work. No clews have been
found, but 1t Is believed that the at.
fair Is the second of a series, similar
robbery having taken place last week
at Bloomfield. The Agency blood
hounds were put on the trail at once
and an effort is being made to catch
the offenders.

$71 900 worth OF fruits. In 1915, a
poor year, the total sales amounted
to s66,617 About $4,000 of this
was from grapes and the rest was
from strawberries, apples, plums, cur.

fruits. This organization, founded in
1891, is the oldest of its kind in the
United States.

Continuing its rampage, the mad

PFNDLEToN's GROWTH.

The East Oregonian in an editorial
refers to the wonderful Advancement
made by Pendleton, which is quite
true. We first knew the county seat
twenty years ago and the bustlins
city it now is does not seem possible
to have grown from the country viii
lage Of that day. There were none
orthe spendid buildings one sees now.
No library building or church on the
bank of the old Umatilla Instead
there were a few tumble down houses
on brown and barren side Hill.
We remember also, not so many years
ago. standing on Main street watch
ing a curious crowd interested in the
laying Of Pendleton's first hard sur
face pavement. Truly, the growth
and development OF our county seat
has been rapid these past few years.
