NEW TUNNELING DEVICE.
Machine Bores Throuch Rock at Rat
of Twenty Feet Day.
A mnchlnc Invented hy OHn S. rroc
tor of IVnvor promises to revolution
be tle borinff of tunnels, aecorJ'uig to
the New York World The machine
will tunnel through solid rock At the
rate of twenty to forty feet a day,
varying with the hardness of the rock,
ronnerly two or three men. worMa
with drills and Rlyeerln sticks, could
do no more than live feet a day at the
test Instead of leaving j.tpsed aper
tures that have to le chiseled and
proped, the new machine In Us boring
smooths the sides as by hand, tn one
day two men can do with this ma
chine what It would cost f."00 to do
under the old, tedious method.
The machine la twenty -three feet
long and has a head of eight feet. Just
the size of the boring. In this head,
made of welt tempered steel, arc twen-

ty-fonr drills, each working Independ
eutly and run ly Its separate pipe of
air. These chisel out their own bores
la the rock, giving a sharp, glancing
chip 000 times a minute. The whole
head rotates once a minute, exerting a
terrific pressure on the drills, scooping
up the chipped material and throwing
It back into a "conveyor belt" that
takes It to a car In the rear.
The head Itself has the appearance
of four large scoops spreading around
the network of drills.
The power for turning this head and
exerting the pressure is an engine of
500 horsepower. The cog wheel un
derneath the machine, capable of
speeding at 5,000 revolutions a tula
ote, but held down to 1,000, is the force
behind the head.
If one drill U disabled the others go
on working Just as before, acd the
broken or blunted one can be replaced
immediately.
If the face of the rock is variable In
quality the boring Is made through the
soft and hard stone ot precisely the
same time. This smooth chipping is
Insured by an air cushion regulating
the severity of the pressure.
VARNISH FOR SHOES.
Preparation Gives Good Results In Re
storing Old Footwear.
A waterproof shoe varnish resem
bling patent leather In luster Is com
pounded of shellac, one ounce; alcohol
three ounces; a pinch of lampblack to
color, says Scientific American. Owing
to the unfavorable action of alcohol on
leather this shoe varnish is not to be
recommended for brand new shoes, but
to rehabilitate old shoes to a pristine
shine it Is unsurpassed.
The tendency of shoes being cracked
by it may very largely be averted by
Drat treating the leather to several
coats of fish oil or vaseline well nibbed
In, over which a very thin coat of par
aflhie Is applied hot and the excess Im
mediately wiped off. The shoes should
then be burnished with cotton Cannel
until the surface Is smooth and appar
ently dry and free from oil or paraffin.
' The shoe varnish Is then thinly ap
plied with a small sponge fastened to a
wire. Several thin coats put on several
hours apart may be necessary to get
full luster. After that usually one thin
application Is sufficient Talent leath
er paste polish rubbed over it and bur
nished with flannel softens the glitter
and leaves a very handsome bright sur
face. The chief other advantage to be
derived from Its use comes from Its
resistance to water. It Is, therefore, In
valuable when applied to preserve the
good looks of the sides of the soles and
heels of shoes to be worn In bad weath
er and even to waterproof their bot
toms. A Process For Staining Wood.
mtherto wood has been stained by
Impregnating it while still fresh with a
solution of some coloring matter. The
solution was squeezed Into the wood
tinder a high pressure. According to a
new Swiss process, the wood is impreg
nated with a solution of a coloring mat
ter In hydrocarbons such as petroleum,
For this purpose the wood is placed In
a cask filled with the colored solution
so as to be completely covered. There
It remains until it Is thoroughly lm
pregnated by the solution. The stain.
lng In the cask may le effected with or
without pressure, cold or warm. In
this manner It Is possible to stain any
wood, either fresh or dry.
New England's Ice Cap.
Trofessor Louis Agassiz many years
ago first announced that tho ice sheet
or glacial flow at the northwest of
Maine could not have been less than
a mile deep, while later geologists have
confirmed his statement, adding the
more recent coucIubIod thnt the ice was
of that thickness at least over the
larger part of New England.
Work of French Army Dogs.
Two French army dogs have drawn
light ambulances, the Invention of a
lieutenant, with a load of 1G0 pounds
each, for some 875 miles without a
breakdown, showing bow they can be
used in wartime.

BUYING A HORSE."
Points to Be Considered Before Male
lng the Purchase.
Never have a horse brought out or
up or down to you, luit go to his stall
iul In feet (gate for yourself certain
details, which once you know them
require no special acumen to decide
nion or to Ins aware of, writes F. M.
Ware In tlie Otitlug Mngailue. For
Instance, Is there grain In the manger
,tnd the hour for feeding soma time
past? He may be a bad feeder, nerT-
ons. delicate well to call the veteri
narian's attention to this point Is the
straw under his fore feet unusually
trampled or broken? Slay be one of
those Irritable, nervous "weavers"
horses which constantly away from
side to side who are generally also
bad feeders aud poor property.
Are the stall posts or sides battered
or kicked? He may be a kicker (by
day or night, spoiling his own rest and
that of other horses). Does he tear or
eat his blankets? Is he tied In any
special way or simply and as other
horses are? Is he gentle to approach
and to handle no nipping, kicking or
pulling back on the halter?
Docs he stand square on both fore
feet or rest one or both alternately?
Docs he back quietly from the stall.
picking up each hind leg without sud
den spasmodic Jerking? And when
he turns la the gangway does be do
so smoothly or docs he flinch (In fiont)
as -If the boards were not even or bis
feet hurt him more or less? Are hli
eyes staring and expressionless, bis
ears always forward indications of
defective vision?
Once out of the stall, notice that he
submits quietly to being wiped over
and betrays no resentment while har
nessing, at accepting the bit, bridle,
crupper, etc, and decorously permit
ting all necessary alterations and at
tentions. Accept no departure from
absolute docility of deportment, for
be sure that if the animal betrays ei
ther excitability, nervousness or vice
in the dealer's bands he will be far
worse with you, for you know you
ion t know, and he will know you
don't know, and those combinations
si?il trouble.
In the same way see that he Is led
out and put to the vehicle to which be
is to be driven, noting each stage of
the process, viewing him always with
the lciiy critical eye of the individual
who does not (yet( own him. Excuse
nothing and uir.ke no allowances for
less. If he makes a move you don't
fancy say so frankly and look further.
There are plenty of horses.
Breeding of Live Stock,
The breeding of live stock does not
get the serious thought from the farm
er which It demands. Raising stock is
one thing and breeding stock Is an
other. The addition of a calf, colt or
a lamb to the herd Is regarded on many
farms as of very ordinary Importance,
but on farms where high class, pure
bred live stock Is reared the addition
of a young animal to the herd creates
almost as much interest as the birth
of an additional member to a family.
In the case of the ordinary calf or
colt there is little or no Interest mani
fested as to the future of the animal
If the calf or colt Is pure bred its dal
ly growth to maturity Is watched with
anxiety. If it is a heifer calf that Is
dropped the interest is so great at the
time that it is difficult to wait until
the calf becomes a cow In order that
it may be known how much of an Im
provement she Is over her mother In
milk production. If a colt the farmer
can hardly wait until it Is old enough
to drive in order that be may deter
mine what speed It will make on the
track. When good stock Is Introduced
on the farm there Immediately be
comes attached an Interest which la
not shown In scrub stock. It Is this In
terest and sentiment which have result
ed In producing some of the world's
record breakers, and the Interest
doesn't fall to appeal to any man who
endeavors to Improve the live stock on
his farm. This Is one of the advan
tages of breeding good animals.
The Making of Bran Mash.
One of the most common of all feeds
Is the bran mash, yet not every one
knows how one should be made. It Is
only In racing stables and large studs
as a rule that one sees It done prop
erly. To make a bran mash first wash
out a bucket with boiling water, then
pour In the quantity of water required,
say three pints, and stir In three
pounds of bran. Cover uj and leave
It for a couple of hours or more If not
required for Immediate use. A mash
takes hours to get cold and is often
given to a sick horse too hot and re
fused when It would have been taken
if properly prepared and given warm
Instead of scalding hot
The addition of a tablespoonful of
salt in the ordinary mash of a Satur
day night can be recommended to keep
down parasites and promote digestion,
but should not be part of a sick horse a
diet unless specially ordered.
A mixture of linseed and bran Is
often prescribed both as food and a
poultice. To one part of linseed two
of bran Is a desirable proportion for
both purposes. To get all the feeding
value out of linseed several hours
should be allowed for cooking, not
merely Infusing, as with a bran mash,
but gently simmering on the side of
the stove. The vessels should be filled,
and toward the end the lid may be
taken off and evaporation permitted
while cooking.
Weil Fitting Horse Collars.
The pad will make a big collar fit
a little tetter, but the best plan Is to
have a collar that fits without a pad.
The latter is apt to Irritate and chafe
a horse much more than a leather col.
lar. If the homes are properly adjust
ed on the collar many horses may be
saved sore necks and sore shoulders,

Dr. Hoiuan, President of the Willam
ette I'niversity, gave a very interesting
and entertaining talk to the student
body of the C C H. S. on Friday after
noon. "He took for his subject "Race
track," and by illustrations and com
parisons showed that lite, itself, was
the race course, where thorn who were
not willing to put forth their best efforts
to the end, mere beaten. He especialtv
emphasise 1 the fact thas "quitter"
along any line and, especially in edu
cational, were those who stayed at the
foot of the ladder. II spoke of the
nine thousand names in the recently
published book of "Who's Who" in
America at the present time and that
six thousand ot these were University
graduates, six hundred, High School
graduates, and the remainder, men of
various educational advantages ; and I
believe, every student of the C C. H. S.
made a mental vow not to be a "quitter"
but to ascend to tlie top of the edu
cational ladder and place his name
among the six thousand of the "Who's
Who." We appreciate Dr. 1 Ionian's
visit and he will always find a hearty
welcome at the C. C. II. 6. -
There were a number of visitors at
the High t School on Friday. Among
them were: Messrs. Lewellyn and Hal
four and Meedamea Smith, Hoffman,
Evans and Wilson and Miss Helen EI-
kins.
The old court house lias begun to
take on an unfamiliar appearance, for
the painters are at work aud no nted to

AtUetic.
Last Wednesday, the Sophs held a
tennis try-ont to pick a team to meet
the Freshmen. Clarence Rice and
Chas. Lowther finally won out after a
close contest The Freshmen will bold
their try-out this week. The meet bet
ween the two chuses is looked forward
to with interest.
Tlie Public and High schools crossed
bats on the athletic field last Friday.
The Public School boys went over with
an invincible "bunch" but after nine
innings they were invisible. At no
time in the game, were they in danger
of losing and feel that the boys will have
to practice if they want to make it
interesting lor the High School.
The Commercial Club has given the
Basket Ball teams the use of the hail
sgain this year, for which kindness the
students are very grateful. Practice be
gan Tuesday evening. The girls orga
nized Friday and elected Louise Sum
mers, business manager.
Alska.
The society held its regular meeting
on Friday, October 29, and the program
was one of the best of the year. Chas.
Sowther's talk on "Athletics" deserves
pecial mention, as he showed the value
of athletics in connection with edu
cational work and what the increased
interest in this branch of education was
doing and would do for the C. C. II. S.
The Alpha Basket Ball team organized
after the adjournment of the Society
with Louise Summers as captain. We
have several of last year's players back
and with a number of new ones. We
expect to keep op the record made by
the team last year.
Mrs. Balfour, Miss Fish and Mabel j
Bixiey were society visitors Friday.
OckocoaUas.
The program of the Ochoconian. society
held last Friday, was of unusual merit.
Miss Leola Est' recitatien, "Mm. McDuffy
on Baseball," was especially entertaining.
The essay, "A Shattered Idol," by Clarence
Eice, was rather hard on the seniors but
ithonld be commended for its originality.
The "Impromptu" by Alex Barnes wus
will given. "The Importance of the Rail
roads in Crook County" was the subject of
a talk by Wilford Iielknnp and he did it
j istice. Tlie humorous reading by John
McDowell was well worth listening to. A
second "Impromptu" by Aaron Hodman
showed that the subject selected was well
understood by the talker, "The Ocho
conian Review," edited by Miss Lotta
Smith, was one of the best editions that
has been published of this famous paper.
Mesdames Lister and Hockenberry were
visitojs at Friday's meeting.

Several of the freshmen who thought of
entering the try-out debute have with

much and don't realize the benefit they
would derive from It.
Mabel Doak was absent from classes last
Tuesday.
All of the Seniors are working hard for
the try-out debate and if it is not the best
ever held in the C. C. H. S. assembly room
it will be no fault of ours.
Agnes Elliott was absent from school
last Thursday and Friday, but in her
classes again.

May Revoke State's
Patent to 7500 Acres
A sccial from SsleiutotlieOrcgonian
says that the State Land Board has re
ccived notice from the Interior IVpart'
mcnt at Washington to show cause
within W days whr?."00 actes ot the
1I..V11MH patented to the slate In the
Columbia Southern project should uot
be re-conveyed to tlis Government. A
special agent ot the department haa re
ported to the Government that "nearly
Uie whole ot the lands to patented to
the state were patented by reason of
misrepresentation, and that said lands
are either entirely unreclaimed, are too
high fcr reclamation nnder the system
by which it was proposed to Irrigate
them, are unfit for cultivation, it irri
tated, or are in a position where no
a ater is available for their irrigation."
The desert land board lias takrn the
matter up with the Columbia Southern
Irrigation Company and will endeavor
to induce the company to proceed w ith
its work under some definite agreement
with tha itAle or dispose of lis equity in
the project.
While Stale Engineer Lewi sayt that
no definite proposal has been received
tor the project, it is admitted that the
property has been looked over by several
concerns that have the financial stand
ing to carry the work to a succeisful
conclusion aud that there will be no
ditllculty in the state completing the
project if the present trouble ran be
cleared awav.
Heretofore there has been much diltl-
culty in getting the stockholders of the
irrigation company together to agree
upon anything. The matter lias been
hanging fire for several years. The In
terior Department approved Oregon
Segregation List No. 13, embracing 27,.
000 acres ot land, in January, 1904.
On January 19, 1U05, 11,000 acrca were
patented to the state . upon repre
sentation ot the itate officials. The
engineer of the company was at that
tiuiu employed by the state as its engi
neer uu pom time laivr me eiaie
learned, it ia alleged, that there had
been fraud, and brought suit against
tlie company to annul the contract on
this ground.
The rederal Court found lor the com
pany on the ground that the stale, by
accepting the report of W. A. Laidlaw,
president of the company and also se
lecting agent for the state in this mat
ter, had been a party to the fraud, if
fraud there had been, but which, how
ever, had not been conclusively proven.
liy adopting a new and snore vigor
ous policy in handling the project In the
luture, the desert laml board nopea to
be able to save the 500 acres already
patented to the Hate. If the irrigation
company continues to adhere to its
Kilicy ol procrastination, however, the
isrtl feels that it will probably be
obliged to get the Government go ahead
and take such action as it sees lit in re
gard to the land which It Is claimed
was patented through misrepresent
ation. Alio, the state will tiring suit la
its own behalf to annul the present con
tract with the irrigation company.
