Personal Notes Old Fiddlers' Contest New Implement House In the North End of Milton Belgian Hares Becoming a Nuisance. Milton, Feb. 9. David Ross, of Pa louse is visiting his son, John, up the rlver.'about five mles. t FreewatCT has a mole, wart, corn and birthmark doctor In the person of Joe Lawson. Dr. S. J. Hayes, laid 1 wooden plp'o inrougn the college yai 1 and I-, a. Plants last week, connecl.ng it with the ditch above, so that he could get water to Irrigate-with. This Is a new feature in Milton and will be watched with Interest. William Nichols and S. A. Miller purchased the J. S. Vinson property where the bakery stands last week and will erect a brick building on it in the spring. AT 111 nti a n f n n f rrws f mm cm n 11 nr v nnri RrnriPt fovpr nnrt the hnuu nri the people is In general good. Some seem to think that the freezo killed all the fruit, while others say it is not injured in the least; the latter of which is nearly correct. Rev. D. C. Sanderson was assisting in a revival meeting in Waltsburg last week, but Is in Moscow, Idaho, now, attending a Methodist conven tion. A. E. McKnight has the plans and specifications for a new house which he is going to have erected just as soon as the weather will permit. Last week was examination week at the college and public school and there are lots of long faces and disap pointed students and pupils in Milton at present Rev. R, L. CartwrlghtS, the new Christian minister, mother and sister, along with their goods, arrived in Mil ton last Tuesday and are living in G. R. Bayly's house on Mill street. Rev. Cartwrights will begin a series of meetings next Sunday night. For five cents, George Edwards drew the bicycle raffled off here last week. Mr. C. W. Harder, of Dry Creek, has awarded the contract of building a new home, to B. F. Williams ,of this place. Among those who visited Walla Walla last week from this place were Miss Jennie Dykes, D. J. Kirke, J. E. Nichols, Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Berry, Mr. William Miller, Mrs. T. L. Taylor, H. L. Frazler, Llda Niel and Rev. D, C. Sanderson. Mr. Jolly, of Moscow, is here with a view of opening up a mercantile store, in the near future. William Betherold, a drummer for the Haywood Brothers, Wakefield Co., of Portland, was doing business in Milton a few days ago and visiting his sister; Mrs. Robert Frazier. The price suited him and he had the cash to pay for it, but a fine resi dence and five acres of ground in Mil ton valued at about J3000, which he expected to get in the trade spoiled it all. The above Is the reason that Mr. H L. Frazler did not sell his half section of land, lying just outside of the city limits to Mr. York, of Wes ton, last week. rne Belgian hares are getting so plentiful in this vicinity that there Is talk of making a hare drive in the near future. Ye scribe has been driv ing some of them all winter and In tends to drive more. We are out of meat and we have got to have It. Shoots Himself. A little child of Mr. Huff, who lives about 10 miles west of here, while playing with a loaded gun last Satur day, In some way accidentally dis charged it the shot taking effect In Its body from which he died in a short time. The funeral was held In the Cumberland Presbyterian church in Freewater Monday and the body v.;as burled in the Odd Fellows' cemetery In Alilton. Fiddlers Content. An "old fiddlers' contest" will bo given in the opera house Thursday evening February 12, which promises to be a grand treat for those who love to fiddle. Among those who will enter the contest as being dexter ous with the bow are "Bill" Wells, Sr.. J. K, Lawler, "Bill" Fletcher, Fred J-orenzen, Un dinger, Sam Thomas, Geo. -Ingalls, L. Williams and P- J. Kelly. The prize for the best fiddler will be the best hat in town. Admission COc. New Implement House. It is pretty well understood that Messrs. Burton and Kyle of this city, backed by Walla Walla capital, will open up a new implement house In the north end of Milton near the depot. Just as soon as the weather opens up so that a building can be erected. North Milton now has a furniture store, a lumber yard, the depot and all the packing houses In the city. Dur ing the summer and fall she has erect ed six new houses and no doubt ere another summer passes will have a large store and in time will put on metropolitan airs. Measuring Social. On Friday evening of this week, fhe Epworth league of the M. E. church, South, in the dining room at the college will give a "measuring social." The price or admission will be five cents a foot and one cent an inch for odd inches. -Then on Satur- NEWS MILTON day evening. February 14, the male members of the Epworth league of! the M. B. church will give a "bache lors' banquet" In the opera house. A unique program will be rendered, after which a supper will bo served by the masculine members of the league. A big time Is anticipated. Light Plant Froze Up. Last Friday morning the olectrlc light plant froze up for the first time this winter, the thermometer drop ping down to about 12 degrees for several hours. It was somewhat amusing that day to see (ho towns folk getting substitutes for the elec tric light, even- old lamp, candle stick, gasoline lamp and coal oil lamp that could be found were brought out and polished to the last extreme of brightness and placed where they would be. handy when necessity de manded it. Sunday School Convention. The ninth annual Sunday school convention of Umatilla county will convene in the M. E. church of this city next Thursday at' 1 o'clock p. m, and continue until Saturday after noon. There will be delegates from all points of the county, besides sev eral state workets. The church peo Plo of the city are making large prep iiiiuiiMis 10 receive me aeiegmes uu visitors and extend a cordial welcome to any one not interested to attend the meetings. The program prepared Is elaborate and promises one of the most Interesting sessions ever held In the county. 'Trashy Literature. Its strange, how particular some people are about. who handles their mall. A few days ago we stood by the general delivery' window In a postoffice and saw a man get the mall for six families, who live on a road where there is a free delivery wagon pass each day. It excited our curios! ty and we had the impudence to ask why it was. This Is what we heard: Well they don't want so mnny peo pie to handle their mail; then, they don't want to pay for a box; they are afraid that some one will take the mall, etc." We said "if Ignorance Is" bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." Perhaps the reader can see the other and most prominent reason for them not pat ronize the mail route when I mention that the postmaster handed out six copies of the Woman's magazine four of Nlcory's Fireside; two Ameri can Homes; three packages from J. Lynn & Co., and several other such magazines. In all he had 32 pieces of mail matter; not one of any value. Is It any wonder that Uncle Sam's wagons don't haul It? - THE TELEPHONE LUCK. Wrong Number Romance Ends Ab ruptly at Red Men's Carnival. There Is one young man in Walla Walla who has had the idol of his heart shattered. It happened In this manner, says the "Union: Some time ago he put in a call for a telephone number and central gave him the wrong one. A woman's voice answered him. After he found that a mistake had been made he apolo gized, and finally drifted Into a rather long conversation. They liked to talk to each other and it soon became a habit for him to call her. up almost every day for a few minutes. They had never met, and he had begun to imagine her a beau tiful, angelic creature, and they de cided that they would meet at the Red Men's Carnival some evening. He was to wear a carnation in his button hole, while she was to have one In her hair, that they might recognize each other, Thursday evening came and the young man went to the Armory early and took up his position near the door that the object of his blind love might not pass without his knowledge. After a wait that seemer an eternity to him she appeared on tho floor. Ho took one look, his jaw dropped, ho made a wild clutch at the carnatloii on his coat and bolted for the door. The woman who appeared was short, fat. ledheaded, and elderly. Tho young man now has an aversion for telephones and carnations. Sick Headache absolutely and per manently cured by using Mokl Tea.

ON THE COLUMBIA SIGHTS THAT GREET THE WONDERING TRAVELER. Locks at the Cascades and their Great Cost Immense Volumes of Traffic That Pass Down This Waterway. Columbia RUcr, Feb. G. The trav eler journeying up the Columbia haa a choice of two routes. If ho Is In a hurry he can take the railway; If he Is not and enjoys water travel, he can take Tho Dalles boat which leaves Portland at 7 a. m. and point ing down the Willamette heads straight for Mt, St. Helen, which stniuls out prominently nuiong Its lessor brethren over In Washington Near the mouth of tho Willamette a large steam dredger Is at work deepening tho channel of that river. Turning Into the Columbia the course changes from north to eastward and the boat Is headed for Mt. Hood liv stead of Mt. St. Helens. Six miles up tho Columbia Van couver is reached on tho Washington side of tho river It has long been a mllitaiv post and is one of the his torle spots of the continent One of tho boys In blue was standing guard at the boat landing to seo that no dc sorters got aboard. The parade ground sloping gradually backward from tho river Is said to be unexcelled In the country. Hhcro under the old regime of the Hudson Bny Company Dr. John McLaughlin, his hunters, trappers and Coururur Du Bols long beld sway and on this pnrado ground and In these waters practiced the aits of their prolesslon which made them famous as riders, hunters and boatmen from tho St. Ijvwrcnce to Hudson Bay and from Hudson Bay to the Columbia and hero tho genial doctor dispensed open-hnndcif hospl tallty to all comers in nway that still keeps his memory green. Sawmills and lumber plies and saw logs In the river discloses 0110 of the sources of revenue of the Vnncouvcr of today, and Uncle Sam disburses quite a pay roll monthly. Passing up the river villages are passed on either side a collection of houses around a church and schoolhouse; flshwheel In the river without number; here a big stone quarry turning out building stone, with half a dozen barges wait ing to load ;there a pulp mill for grinding some of . this timber Into pulp, the power being furnished by flume carrying water down the moun tain side; and tho pulp neatly piled on the wherf waiting shipment some paper mill. Here and there an orchard planted o na little spot soil washed down the mountain side or deposited there by the river In years gone by. All these show the manner of livelihood of the ponula tion scattered along the river. Not much farming anywhere in sight. Tho boat brings tip baled hay, grain and other supplies from Portland and dumps them at the little landings along the river or sometimes on the bank where there Is no landing and takes away anything that lias to seek a market elsewhere. At the Cascades the river has be come much narrower and rushes swiftly between the rocky walls on either side. Large masses of lock He in the stream around which the wa ter foams and dashes. Uncle Sam has spent $4,500,000 building a cannl around this obstruction and ho Is spending more all the time, but the works looks as If It might be built lor the ages. Walls of solid mason ry between which the water runs 24 feet deep. Twenty-five years ago the work was started, since then plans and engineers have been changed and rechanged, money wasted In many vays, work accomplished and swept nway, but at last the end sought seems to have been reached and today tho traveler passes through the canal with a wait of a very few minutes. This section of tho country has fur nished much of the inspiration for Oregon literature. Ella Hlgglnson, Sam j. Simpson and u host of others lunod their lyres to these running wa lers and their grassy borders, Mrs. Dye found here much of her material for McLoughlln and old Oregon. Halch's "Bridge of the Gods" spanned the stream In this immediate locali ty and somewhere among the treeaJ along this stream Old Multnomah's captive was tied to the tree roots and left for the wolves to tear lilm limb fiom 'llinb. We've been 12 hours coming 120 miles and port is not yet in sight. Leisurely traveling yes, but them's been something worth looking at ev ery minute. Pulses set to the tune of 40 miles an hour would probably en joy the Chicago-Portland Special bet ter, but instead of a confused blur at the end of the trip, out of which you vainly try to extract any one particu lar feature, there has been time to see and enjoy. Much has been said and written about the beauties of this Columbia river trip, and the last word has sure ly not been spoken. Much will still be said and written until spc.ch and writing both shall cease. Surely as long as this earth Is Inhabited by a race of people who see beauty In run ning water and timbered slope; In rugged mountains with snowy peaks down whoso rocky sides streams dash themselves into spray, this route will never lack appreciative travelers to sing Its praise. C, 15. M'LKI.LAN. i The Other Half Half the children in the worM actually need Scott's Emulsion. The other half would be. benefitted by it. A goodly portion of the latter half have already been helped by Scott's Emulsion. They have been made comfortable and well. They have been supplied with the clement of fat that their bodies are con stantly in need of. Scott's Emulsion has done even more for them; it has furnished nourishment which their or dinary food has not supplied. The lack of proper nourish ment in a child's food is re sponsible for its failure-' to thrive and grow as it should. So long as the important ele ments of nourishment are not contained in the child's food it will remain , thin and lack the plumpness and glow of youth that marks the prop erly fed child. What can be done for such children ? Give them Scott's Emulsion.. .It is so palatable and acceptable that children like it. Cream of cod liver oil it could be called, for it re sembles cream very closely. Moreover, being prcdigested, Scott's Emulsion enters the system quickly and with least tax upon the stomach. The delicate digestive organs of a backward child accept and retain Scott's Emulsion when other forms of nourish ment are repulsive. It makes up the short-comings of a child's ordinary food and fur nishes nourishment and fat in proper proportions and in the proper way. So-called wines, cordials and extracts of cod liver oil should always be avoided. No matter what the claims may be, they do not contain the value of the whole oil, and hence are worthless in cases where a reliable cbd liver oil preparation is neces sary. Their sole purpose is to taste nice, and the use of alcohol and strong extracts makes them really harmful in many cases. Scott's Emul sion contains the whole oil carefully prepared, palatably presented, and is a safe and reliable preparation. We'll send you a sample free upon request.
