WILL RANTHUN KILLED
AT CENTRALIA.
Former Pendletonlan Meets Death in
a Tragic Manner Was a Rail
roader. Walter Adams, W. & C. R. agent
at this place, received a telegram yes
terday evening, dated at Centralia,
Wash., with the words: "Will Ran
thuu killed hero by train yesterday."
That is all that is known of the tra
gedy. Will Ranthun Is well known here,
where he has many warm friends, he
having been in the employ of the W.
& C. R. company running In and out
of Pendleton for about five years
previous to a few months ago when
he went, to Centralia and has been
.making a run out of that place to
Peell. He first started in on the road
here as brakemen and as he was a
steady and reliable man he soon grew
into favor with the train men as well
as with those at the head of the com
pany and it was only a short time
until he had a run as conductor. He
was about 28 years of ige and leaves
a wife and one child. His friends
here will learn of his death with the
deepest sorrow.

and keep feeding a constant and a

of the greatest value to Deschutes

and its water supply much sought
after when enterprise and population
are ready to use them.

Nil
WILKINS HOLDS HIS
JOB AT PRESENT.
Agency Not to Be Abolished at This
Place.
It Is asserted that the agency of
tho Umatilla reservation will not be
abolished, with tho control of the
agency vested In the superintendent
or tho schools. This was proposed,
and was thought by some to bo a
probability. Agent Charles wllklns
has been In tho East, looking after
the matter, and now tho word comes
from Washington that the change
will not be made and Agent Wllklns,
for the present, at least, will hold his
job.
The Indian committee of the house
will probrfbly discontinue the office
of Indian agent at Yakima, Wash.,
recommended by tho Interior depart
ment, but inasmuch as Senator Fos
ter desires to have the position con
tinued and to appoint a new man to
the place, it Is probable tho senate
will amend the house provision and
restore the office.
Indian affairs appear to receive
more attention in Washington this
session of congress than for several
years past. Delegations of Indians
from various agencies have gone to
the capital, to lay their brievances be
fore the department of Indian affairs,
and one has gone from Pendleton.
Long Hair and No Shirt have started
upon the journey which was delayed
by the illness of No Shirt, who was
thought to have pneumonia. They
have gone with an Interpreter, anil
will visit Commissioner Jones with
some requests regarding payment of
money to the Indians, and tho disposi
tion of lands which were not sold to
bidders at the sale 10 years ago.
Paul Showaway has not heard from
the Flathead Indians regarding the
visit to Washington, which ho was to
lead for thenl, although ho expects to
soon learn that they are ready to go.

WESTON NOTES.
Clerk's Wise Suggestion.
"I have lately been much troubled
with dyspepsia, belching and sour
stomach," writes M. S. Mead, leading
pharmacist of Atteboro, Mass. "I
could eat hardly anything without suf
fering several hours. My cleik sug
gested I try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure,
which I did with most happy results.
I have had no trouble, and when one
can go to eating mince pie, cheese
candy and nuts after such a time,
their digestion must be pretty good. I
indorse Kodol Dyspepsia Cure hearti
ly." You don't have to diet. Eat all
the good food you want but dov't
overload tho stomach. Kodol Dyspep

DESCHUTES RIVER.
Regarded as a Remarkable River
' Same Year Round.
One of the most remarkable
streams in the United States Is tho
Deschutes river in central Oregon.
Almost all rivers have wide extremes
in the volume of their flow, running
nt flood in the spring and low or oven
dry in the summer months. But De
schutes river widely differs from the
rule, and is notable for Its remark
ably steady flow throughout the en
tire year. Measurements taken over
a series of years by the United States
Geological Survey to ascertain the
amount of its discharge show that
tho river discharges an almost uni
form volume of about 6000 cubic feet
per second, and that the flow in the
winter Ib but little more than this,
and the summer very little less. An
explanation for the strango behavior
of this river Is sought In the charac
ter of the country through which it
and its tributaries flow. The whole
region in former ages was washed
by a succession of great lava flows
which are found to be separated by
other layers of sand and gravel. It
Is thought that the rain, instead of
rushing at once to tho streams, sinks
Into the rich and porus soil, Into
which tho lava has' disintegrated,
and gradually percolating down to
and Into tho rock layers, slowly flows
along them to tho deep canyons,
which tho streams have cut In tho

Dan Kirk Looking for Some Work
Horses.
The Leader says:
Dan R. Kirk was here today from
the Eureka Flat country, looking for
heavy work horses for farm use. He
would like to pick up 14 or 16 head,
and will be back again in the course
of a week. Mr. Kirk is farming leas
ed land on an extensive scale in the
neighborhood of Clyde, Wash. Ho is
handling about 3000 acres, of which
1500 acres are now in grain, and the
remainder in summer fallow. He
reports bright prospects for tho
Eureka Flatters. There is plenty of
moisture, a snow fall of eight or 10
inches having been followed by warm
rains, so that the ground is. thorough
ly soaked. He hope for a 30-bushel
crop and 50-cent wheat next fall,
which will give him a fresli start in
agriculture.
The residence of J. N. York, four
miles north of town, where smallpox
was recently a visitor, was put
through a thorough course of disin
fection after the disappearance of the
disease, under Dr. Best's direction.
Bedding and carpets from the infect
ed rooms were burned, and other ef
fective measures taken. These facts
are published in order that neighbors
and the general public need have no
fear that a single smallpox germ yet
finds a lurking place in Mr. York's
dwelling.
Harry Turner sold 1600 bushels of
wheat yesterday to J. H. Price, agent
of tho Kerr-Gifford company, at 53
cents. This lot is stored at Downing
Station. Except few lots, aggro
gating about 10 per cent, of the total
crop, wheat has now all been sold In
this neighborhood.
Charley Pierce, now a popular bon
Ifaco of Hollywood, Cal., has remem
