One of the most pleasing siehtt that was
ever witnessed in La Grande was verv
much in evidence on our streets Saturday
afternoon, when that warm hearted man,
M. H. Kirtly, hitched up a span of horses,
put a big wagon bed on a pair of runners.
went out on the streets and invited every
child he w to jump in and take a sleigh
ride. In a short time the wagon bed was
as full as tsrdinetin a box of the hardiest.
jolliest, laughing lot of boyt and girls at
wat ever seen in any city in the world:
and when there wat no more room in the
bed for even the smallest tot, the boys
hitched their tlede behind the tleigh until
there were at least a dozen of them strung
out behind each tied holding from three
to five happy thoutingjaughing, youngstert

In the goodness of his heart wat thoughtful
enough to remember he wat one a boy,
and the pleasure it gave him to have a
sleigh ride, and when the little tired heads
were laid upon their pillowt that night,
many a blessing was Hsped.and many good
wish was given to the man who gave them
a slsigh ride that had filled their heart
with to much joy and happiness.
flYE INDIANS BURNED
: Five Indians were burned alive at the
agency on the Umatilla reservation earlv
Sunday morning. They were prisoner in
the agency jail, which was evidently set
afire by the prisoner themselves. Be
fore the fir was discovered the jail had
become a blazing mass ' and the Indians
were probably dead, at no sounds were
heard from them. The door of the iail
wae never unlocked and after the fir. hxri
burned low the charred bodies of the five
were found within the ruine. The ver
dict of the coroner' iurv. triven after a
long investigation, is to the effect that the
fire was started by the prisoner them
selve and that they were not rescued
owing to the poor system in connection
with the keeping of the jail.

reason which could not be overcome at
that time the hole could be made no deeper.
However, this earn man Hunt will mva
a contract that he will drive the pipe to
th 1000 limit for $3.00 per foot in cash
or he will make it for the pipe already in
the hole. That is h will take th hoi for
his pay. If he should succeed in pulling
it up he will get good pay but the company
fear it cannot be drawn and want to make

HERE IS A RECORD

Editor Observer
With your permission I will jrive a hriaf
account of our experience -in tee- poultry
business.
For over 1 8 years we have been in tha
Business on a small scale, but a large ex
perience. Without anv disdav of word
or big talk 1 will tell you my story as brief
ly as i can in plain English so anyone can
unaerstand
We have tried various breeds of chickens
and find any purebred birds good.
But we now have onlv Ban-ad Plmmith
and Rose Combed White Leehorns and
. .i .,.- . . ..
unim irium tne oesi for us. But 1st ma
suggest that the breed one likes the best
is the one I Would advise them to keep
But get the best thorouahbred stock and
take care of them, not by building costly
snowy nouses but by making them com
fortable, give plenty of room both summer
"and winter.
In summer hens that have the run of
the farm will usually gather insects and
sufficient for animal food, but thai must
be supplied in winter.
For hens to lay in winter and summer
fcunmuont musi oe provided, warmth, ex
ercise and the necessary egg producing
food. Wheat is oiir chief food, but that
should be thrown in straw or litter, so
that the chickens will have to work to
get it. Then with a green bone cutter and
from scraps from the bucther shop the
animal food can be supplied.
Then for green food, garden vegtables
and fruit etc can be used.
Alfalfa leaves are very excellent and
chickens eat them with great relish, they
contain many of the ingredients of the
egg.
Then keep them healthy by giving them
a good dust bath with some well slacked
lime mixsd with it to keep lice off.
Paint the roosts with coal tar and no
mites will stay on them.
For cold or roup take well slacked good
lime and dust over them at night after
they have gone to roost, until the room
is filled with the dust.
Tnese are some of the ways we have
learned and think them good.
We use but little of the so-called
try prepirations that are advertised . to
make nens lay.
Wehave many othar ways of tresting
various diseases that we will tell aiiyon
desiring information but w will not ex
tend this artiel by relating them here
but will answer any question we car.
We have for some time been able to
make our hens net us $1.00 per hed
but th past year has been a record
breaker. From an average of 1 60 hens w
gathered 17140 egg sold in the market
saig.?5 worth besides what we s. t and
used, not counting eggs sold for hatching
or chicken- told.
Cost of keeping, wheat $6 5.00 ' ttale
bread $ 1 0.00. meat and bona terarjt SJ OC
lime and etc $4.00. Total $88.00.
I would like to hear from mora of tha
lovers of th much abused hen who keen
a daily record of what they actually do
thru the entire year and that would tm far
to put biddy in her proper sphere.
