The order of , Eagles has been en
tirely reorganized, along lines aimed
at a higher plane than ever, according
to J. A. Matott, who is home from
Omaha, where he attended the 11th
Grand Aerie of the order of Eagles.
The convention was Instructive and
interesting and the delegate from
this aerie brings hack a big bundle
full of helpful matter for his lodge.
The new slogan or motto of the lodge,
adopted at the Omaha meeting Is "If
you can't speak a good word for a
man, don't speak an ill one."
."vt fraternal mcttcii vci uui the
only things studied during the trip.
Modern methods of constructing ce
ment sidewalks received much atten
tion, and he brings back plans and
specifications for the most up-to-date
walk in the middle west. He found
that a great, many walks are being
constructed -of asphaltum In the east.
Another matter which he noticed
forceable was the low rate on ce
ment. As far west as Cheyene the
price per barrel for cement Is 90
cents, while here the price Is more
than J3.00. A lower freight rate Is
necessary to remove this high price.
Supplied with all thl3 modern data
on sidewalks, the street superintend
ent will be able to build new walks
along plans and methods that are the
very latest and best approved In the
big cities.

MYSTERY AT
II CAYUSE
Mystery surrounds the unearthing
near Cayuse of the remains of some
soldier whoue death must have oc
cured several years ago, according to
the Pendleton E. O.
Only the faintest clue (o the Identity
of the man has been discovered and
tl.ut is a i'ivoj caji ornament which
shows that the man was at one time
a member of Company K, of the
oiul Louisiana .infantry. Color orna
ments were also found but they do not
convey any further information.
The skeleton of the man was un
earthed nt the first road crossing east close of the civil war.
of Cayuse station. The remains were
buried nine feet under the surface of
the earth and were discovered by M.
J. Moran, who at that time was sec
tion foreman at Cayuse, but who has
just been transferred to Pendleton. He
says the bones found were undoubted
ly those of a human and but that most
of them crumple to pieces when
picked up. The large bones of the
arm and leg however, were fairly
well preserved.
So far as can be ascertained no one
of this description has ever been bur
led at that point as a result of a
natural death and some have advanc
ed the theory that the man was mur
dered. If such was the case the mur
derers were evidently in no hurry for
they buried their victim good and
deep.
It is not believed that the dead man
was here in the service of the gov
ernment but that he was a former
member of the Confederate army and
that he had come to Oregon after the

On September 27th, the Sugar

near Island City.
What Is considered by meat dealers
as the first step in an unprecedented
shortage in the bacon supply through
out the country was taken today when
an advance of one cent" was made in
the local retail market. Bacon is
now selling at from 20 to 23 cents per
pound.
Reports received last evening and
today from Armour Bros, and other
great wholesale houses of the east
and middle west are to the effect that
the famine is on and that the supply of
hogs throughout the country is ex
tremely limited. Theae stories emul
ate especially from Omaha and Chi
cago. The chief cause for the present
shortage in bacon Is that the price of
wheat was high last season. As a re
sult the hogs were brought to mar
ket in a half fatted condition. This
caused less than the usual amount of
bacon to be put up.
With the present strong prlc es of
wheat and such eminent authorities as i
J. J. Hill of the Great Northern predlc-1
ting a general shortage In the world's
wheat supply, the outlook for the
coming year Is for a continued scar
city on the supply of hogs.
Information Bureau Will be Establish.

CAT FISH SEASOX OX.
Catches Reported In Small
Streams Out In The Valley.
Cat fish season has arrived, and the
first big catch reported In the creeks
and streams throughout the valley Is
that of W.. Walnright of South La
Grande, who yesterday captured 150
in a few hours. The fish this year
average from seven to twelve inches
in length, and there seems to be con
siderable quantities.
Inauguration of a bureau of infor
mation during the fair week ha3 been
accomplished, and it will be located
in the Logan-Sherwood Realty office,
Main SC. This office will serve in
another capacity aside from that of
dishing out answers to questions about
the fair both before and during the
actual fair days.
Another matter centering about this
office is the matter of hospitality
among the citizens. It goes without
saying that the hotels and rooming
houses will be filled to the limit. At
any rate, any person having a room
ing house accommodation should notl-
I fy the information office, and then too
j all citizens who have rooms to spare
should give out, the notification. All
rooming houses and hotels will be
filled first, buf private homes will
necessarily have to be resorted to.
I Visitors will be . willing to pay for
such accommodations to private home
owners, and therefore there wil be
nothing of a philanthropic nature In
this piece of preparation for housing
a big delegation. These accommoda
tions wherever they exist should be
communicated to the office at once,
that a long list of available rooms
with addresses can be on hand early.
La Grande has a name to make

and while the men at the head of
It are doing all In their power, It be
hooves the orinary Inactive person to
do a little toward a big accommoda
