.v VOLUME XVI. ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 12, 190. NUMBER 7 Tryforflealth 222 South Peoria St., CnicxGO, III., Oct. 7, 1902. Eight months ago I was so ill that I was compelled to lie or sit down nearly all the time. My tomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat ana lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright1! disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no dfr sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could Bave much suffer- . ing if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to day? .

Residence Saved by Prompt Work of the Fire Depart ment. !Fi 'ire that broke out in a' store room at the Rosenzweig residence Saturday eve ning came near destroying the home. As it is, the back portion of the house is a charred wreck that will have to be rebuilt. The cause of the conflagaration will ever remain a mystery The fire origin ated in a small room used for storage purposes. It is locatod on the west end of the back porch of the residence. In it was stored a couple of trunks, cloth ing, papers, odds and ends that natural ly accumulate in every household, and as no one of the family had been in the room for hours previous to the discov ery of. the tire, ouly theory can be ad vanced as to cause. This room and the entire back portion of the kitchen was a roaring moss of flames, when the noise attracted the at tention of Miss Elsa Rosenzweig, the only member of the family who had not retired for the night. " She was met at the door by a sheet of flame and smoke. Arousing the family, she gave the alarm in the street, and at this juncture D. B. Jarman, who had also discovered the fire, arrived. Though nearly suffocated and blinded by heat and smoke, Mr, Jarman stood in the dining room door way, and with a stream of water from a small garden hose, kept the fire from eating its way into the kitchen until the fire department responded. The, boys of Hose Co. No. 1 "looked good" to Dan as they camo rushing through the dicing room and relieved him and Wtn. MoBgrove just as the flames broke through a window from the outside. A few dashes of water made the interior safe, temporarily, and the firemen turn ed their attention to the little store room and the outside of the dwelling . Mr. Rosenzweig showed his faith in the efficiency of the fire department, when before its arrival he requested that furniture and household goods be not removed from the house, asserting to thdse willing to aid in the work, that "the boys will soon be here and pot the fire out quickly." After the fire was out Mr. Rosenzweig kindly thanked the fireman and others for their goad work. He only carried 8400 insurance on the residence, and through an oversight insurance on the household goods had been allowed to lapse some three weeks ago, therefore the loss would have been considerable had the fire reached the interior of the building. CHANGE IN BUSINESS. Taylor & Jarman Have Sold the Weston Fair Store. Taylor St. Jarman have sold the Wes ton Fair Store to F, F. Humeston. The change was made last week, in speaking of which, the Weston Leader says of the managers of the Athena Fair Store: Messrs. Taylor &, Jarman retire and are succeeded by F. F. Humeston. The retiring firm opened the Fair Store at Weston in June, 1899, and by their en terprise and square dealing built up a large business from a small beginning. In fact, the old saying, "Large oaks from little acorns grow," is applicable here. After getting the Weston store safely under way they established a similar business at Athena, which has also had a remarkable growth under Mr. Jarman's management. Mr. Tay lor remained here, and only ill health, from which he has suffered the past yecr, prevents him from continuing the business in which ho has been so suc cessful. Rest became imperative, how ever, and he will now take a vacation. ; Whistler to Eeinrn. John T. Whistler, government engin eer in charge of the irrigation surveys in Oregon, is expected to return from Washington, D. C, about March 1, and will begin work on further surveys in the Echo irrigation district. Mr. Whiitler's report will be made public in the near future, all reports coming from Washington, so far, having been outlines aud reviews of the actual re port, and when this is made public the department will determine just what measures will be necessary this season. STSICT ON HOMESTEADS. Special Agent Will See to Literal Compliance with Law A Walla Walla special says: The sternest setback homesteaders in Ore gon and Washington have yet received in their endeavors to prove up on gov eminent land without having lived up to a literal compliance with the home stead law was contained in orders re ceived from the department of the in terior wt the land ofllue here yesterday. Vtuh r the tew ruling a man will find it 'y i-f ; "j iu.p' hhle to prove uj on a homestead without his proof being in vestigated by a special government agent- In many ways this resembles the strict ruling instituted last year in Oregon, when the ; timber and atone entry frauds were disclosed. Separate orders were received for special agents and for registers and re ceivers. Where an entryman gives no tice of intention to make final proof, the land office is required to send the spec ial agent notice in all instances where the claimant intends making his final proof before any commissioner or officer other than the register and receiver. If the special agent is not thoroughly satisfied that the claim is a bona fide one he must be present at the examin ation and make full investigation. The register and receiver may accept final proofs under the new regime with out the presence of the special agent, or without notifying him, but the strict est examination is enjoined, with an ad' monition to summon the special agent where any doubt at ajl exists. The rulings will work all kinds of havoc in the Walla Walla district, where hundreds of , claims are being held without actual 'residence. Sidney Miller is special agent tor this district, with headquarters at Lewiston. SENATE HELPS THE FAIR.

C v OR POWER PLANT HE APPROPRIATION NOTICE WAS FILED MONDAY. Will Furnish Electricity for Towns of Pendleton, Walla Walla and Intermediate Points. Notice of appropriation for the big electric power plant was filed Mon day in the office of County Recorder Folsom, says the Pendleton Tribune. The filing of the notice and appropria tion of the water was made by the Washington k Oregon Water Power company, but is tor toe ubo ana iden tical with the Northwest Jfc Electric Light plants both in Pendleton and Walla Walla, and the purpose of the company is to errect this plant in Uma tilla county, and to furnish electricity for lighting and "power purposes for both Pendleton and Walla Walla and any and ail intermediate towns, ana perhaps in time extend the field of operation further.

This would be about 16 or 17 miles due east of the Blue Mountain station. The water - then would be conveyed through pipes rang, ing in size from 30 to 52 inches in diameter for a distance of six miles down the river, discharging the water over the top of a spur of the Blue ' mountains, giving them a fall of almost any height which they may wish. It is at tbia point the power plant will be frected, which will generate the elec tricity for the lighting of the two towns..

Negotiations are still in progress be tween the O. K. & N. and the state commissioners for right of way for the Celilo canal. The two parties are modifying their lines of survey to tfuit each other's purposes. At Five-Mils'-' Rapids they are endeavoring to reach an agreement whereby the canal will be built nearer the Columbia river than first intended, and whereby the O. R. k N. can relay its track nearer the river and take out a curve. As soon as the O. S. N. and the state can determine on lines that will be satisfactory to each party, they will take up the question of damages which the railroad will suffer from the canal. The commissioners are negotiating also with other owners of land, and hope to rea-'h a settlement with them soon, it is now known that there is sufficient room for the ( ), R. & N. tracks the portage road and suip canal at the narrowest points. . . , , , Masor.s Build.
