Mrs. Decker was unconscious and
only partly recovered late this after
noon after being brought to St. buza-
Detn s hospital.
Mrs. Shelton and Mrs. Whittier are

Baker Man Lost Three Days.
Baker, June 5. How Elton Olson of
this city, now employed by the Bake:'
Mines Co., at Cornucopia, lost his way
while on a hshing trip, wandered
through the snow for . nearly three
days, and was reduced almost to the
point of starvation before -he was
found by a search party, was learned
here today.
It is reported that Olson, in com
pany with Will Gardner, also of Bak
er, took a layoff to go hshing on (Jlear
creek and all went well until a frag
ment of snow broke off letting Olson
into the creek, together with thoA
lunch, which he -carried. The two
then started home but disagreed on
the direction and set out in different
directions Gardner arrived safely but
Olson failed to appear.
The next day a searching party was
organized but alter hunting lor him
all day failed to find him, although
they ran across his tracks several
times in the snow, which still lies six
to eight feet in many places. The day
following ,after tracking him all dny,
a party of four overtook him about 20
miles from camp. He was still going
in the opposite direction, sometimes
crossing his own trail. He had no
idea where he was going, it is said.
He had had nothing to eat since start
ing out and ate ravenously of the
lunches which the searchers carried.
In his travels he was compelled to
climb a tree to escape from a brown
bear, vwhich he feared might be fxa
hungry as himself. He also saw two
more m his rambles.
He had no matches or even a l.nife
with which to help himself, but was
forced to eat buds, which he explained
after he was in camp, he had .ead
about.

Greek DtntrSt Impressed by . Turks
Reports Progress.
New York, June 5. The joys of
life in Constantinople during waf
tim.es ore described in a letter re
ceived here from an English woman
who says that she has been cut off
from the world since she went to Con
stantinople In September, 1914.
"The Turks have taken all the
Greek dentists and made veterinary
surgeons of them," she wrote. "One
dentist was given six camels to care
for and, not knowing that they would
kneel, ascended them daily with a
ladder. After a few days a friend
asked him about them. '
camels have died and I hope to se tho
outers go wunin a lew days.- " J

said tho strikers - demands will be
granted almost bodily.
" ECONOMY MOVEMENT FAILS.
British People Spend as Usual and
Food Prices Soar.
London, June 6. Official figures
which show that since the war began
there has been an average increase of
49 per cent in the price of foodstuffs
in England suggest the failure of the
economy movement, designed to im
press upon the nation the obligation
of being thrifty in the consumption of
food, so as to curtail imports and keep
down prices.
Tha purchasing power of a pound
($5) is now but a trifle more than
$2.50. -
Compared with both a year ago and
two years ago there are largo in
creases in the imports of grain and
flour, meat and duitable articles of
food.
CATERPILLAR CURE GIVEN
Neats May Bo Burned, but Spray Is
Regarded Safer.
Washington, June 5. This is the
season when the larvae and small
nests of the tent caterpillar are like
ly to be found on orchard and other
trees. iWiith the first warm days of
Spring the larvae escape from the
eggshells in which they have luin dor
mant during the winter. Trees in
fested with larvae during the early
part of the year, or those in the im
mediate vicinity, are perhaps more
likely to be chosen by the parent
moth for tho deposition of her egg3.
The recommendations of the United
States Department of Agriculture's
entomologists, for the control of thiii
pest are, briefly, as follows:
As soon as small nests are detected
they should be destroyed. When m
convenient reach, the nests may be
torn with a brush, with gloved hand.
' Unioni Bank Grows.
The First National bank is steadily
forging ahead, says the Union Scout.
Today the deposits show $216,000
which would indicate that not all the
money is out of the vicinity. The.
bank carries loans to the amount of
$210,000 with cash on hand, $25,000
and $63,000 worth of government
bonds. In the volume of business this
institution is tho third in the county
and the greatest outside of La
Grande. The country is evidently
prospering.
Hopes for Earthwork Completion.
Baker, June 5. Completion of the
earthen "toe," of the Balm creek dam,
which will allow the reservoir of tho
Thief Valley Irrigation' project to re
main filled while the height of the
dam is being increased, is hoped for
this summer by J. A. Almirall of New
York, head of the project, who is in
the city after an inspection trip to
the dam with W. A. Stewart, resident
engineer, Mr. Almiral is now work
ing out cost data, on which will de
pend to a large extent the amount of
work to be accomplished this sum
mer. He stated this morning -that on ac
count of the high prices of material,
not as much might be done this sum
mer as had been planned a year ago.
He was highly pleased with that part
of the dam which has alread been
erected, a tesj recently made showing
it to be absolutely water tight.
Mr. Almiral believes an added im
petus will be given the project by the
land banks bill passed on favorably
by both Senate and House. "The final
sanction needed to make the bill a
law, would be very beneficial to us,"
he added. It would mean that ranch
ers would be able to secure land on
much more reasonable terms than is
now the case, and in consequence ir
rigable lands would be put under the
plow much more rapidly.
Ashland People Come to Festival
Ash'and, Or., June 2. Many Ash
land people will leave tomorrow and
Sunday for Portland to attend the
Rose festival. E. V. Carter, presi
dent of the First National bank,
leaves Saturday with a party of
friends by automobile for the Rose
City. Several other automobile par
ties will make the trio ami a num
ber of citizens will go down by train.
