Baker City. Jan. B. A very meagre
account of the suicide of a woman whose,
name was given as Mrs. May Miliard.
was received at the sheriffs office early
yerterday morning from Cornucopia.
This raport conveyed the information tday

MUST HAVE PERMIT
It has been customary for some time
past for the O. R. & N. to permit all
freight trains to carry passengers from
all points on the line. This custom has
not been followed by the other roads, and
on January 1 the 0. R. & N. put into
effect the following order:
"Freights on the Washington division of
the 0. R. & N. will only carry such pass
engers who are provided with form 208,
except that passengers with ticket will
be carried on trains 21 and 22 between
Grange City and Umatilla, and on trains
91 and 92 between Wardner and Wallace
No passengers will be carried on freight
trains on the Oregon division, except
when they hold form 208, and in no caee
will passengers be carried on any freight
either with or without a permit between
North Fork and Hilgard and between
Baker City and Durkee.
MODERATE WATERING
Pacific coast fruit growers in irrigated
istricts. are learning that the quality of
fruit grown depends, a good deal on how
water is ussd. Excessive use of water
in many cases has hurt the reputation of
irrigated fruit. An authority states that
it has been demonstrated beyond doubt
that in fruit growing the less water used
the higher the quality of the fruit. Too
much not only makes coarse fiber but de-
stoys the flaver. This is true of all fruits
and vegetables, but most farmers kave not
realized the fact until recently and have
turned on their soil all the water it would
soak up. Northwest Horticulturists.
(A3D Of THANKS
I desire to express my most earnest
appreciation to the many many friends
who stood by me so loyally through the
contest and without such help it would
have been impossible for me to have been
successful. I thank you one and all.

HOLD ANNUAL BANKET
Jenkintown, Pa. Jai. 6 The Union
Society for the Recovery of Stolen Horses
held its 94th annual meeting today. The
society has been in 'continuous existence
since 1812. In days gone by when a
horse was stolen, instead of notifying the
authorities, as "is now done, the society
put into eff act the "riding list." The
members would leap to horse when a
theft was reported and ride in pairs for
days, psrhaps, on the trait of the thief.
The secretary of the society, Charles
Mather, of this city, has held that office
for nearly 40 years.
