RATTIGAN VS. SMITH.
The "Mill" Came Off In Pendleton
Unexpectedly Policeman Fee Re
feree. One of tho liveliest fights that has
occurred in Pendleton for some time
was pulled off Thursday afternoon nt
the home of Mrs. James Rattigan, at
the corner of Court and College
streets. A young man by the name
of Smith, recently from Boise, had
boon rooming thore, and ho and Ratti
gan got to drinking together Thurs
day and fell out. They went out into
the ynrd to sottle their difficulty In a
regular Corbett-Fltzsimmons fashion.
After scrapping for some time out
doors, they went into the house and
renewed the trouble and Mrs. Ratti
gan telephoned the police. Police
man Fee went to see what was the
matter and when he attempted to ar
rest Rattigan the latter showed fight.
The policeman grappled with him and
in the melee got his hand badly bit
ton nnd lost a little skin off tho end
of his nose. Rattigan showed fight
until tho policeman was compelled to
use his billy on him nnd knocked mm
out before he would give up. liatu
gan and Smith were taken to the city
jail and locked up.
Both Men Fined.
Police Judge McCourt fined Ratti
gan $60, nnd in default of payment he
wnn Hnnt to iall for 30 days. Smith
was assessed $1 Oand he was also
committed to jail In default.
DR. BLALOCK'S ENTERPRISE.
The Lands of Long Island, In the Co
lumbia, to Be Cultivated.
The large farm, the property of the
Blalock Company, located on Long
Island, in the center of the Columbia,
a few miles below Umatilla, will soon
have water ffowlng through and over
Its sandy soil If the plans formulated
and carried out by the promoters of
this immense scheme do not fall; and
there is no reason to doubt that the
problem of irrigation of this tract has
been solved at last ThiB land is
known to be productive if water can
be secured, and many schemes have
been formed and many dollars have
been spent In trying to devise some
way of forcing the waters of the Co
lumbia over its surface at a nominal
cost. It was thought the problem was
solved when a powerful water motor
constructed by a Suokane man was
installed at the head of the Island,
but the motor was found to be defi
cient in raising enough water to sup
ply the number of acres of land the
company wished to irrigate.
Now the company has fallen back
on steam engines to do this work, and
the necessary mnahinery and engines
have been installed and are all ready
for a test run. A 65 horse-power sta
tionary engine has been set up and
to supply the power for this monster,
two 35 horse-power marine boilers are
all ready to receive a fire under the
grates. A test run would have been
made before this time, but a contrac
tor who was to supply the necessary
fuel, shipped the wood to Blalock sta
tion instead of Cayote, the company's
station. As soon as this can be trans
ferred the first run to test the machin
ery will be made. The ten inch cen
trifugal pump is capable of raising
13,000 gallons of water a minute and
it is expected this will enable the
company to irrigate easily some 1500
acres.
The block system will be used on
the farm where available, and when
not, the ditch system will bo resorted
to. The block system Is very simple
and effective. Where a level piece of
ground to be irrigated Is found, the
outer edges of the strip are banked
up and then flooded. The water is
allowed to stand as long ns desired,
when It is released to another tract
of land and so on as far as possible.

Fresh ground ment nnd bone Is a
very valuable constituent of tho ration
for egg production. In ninny localities,
however. It Is dllllcult to procure read
ily, and ninny who might get it do not
have a bone cutter. On the other hand,
beef scrnps and ment mcnl. cnu be
bought nt any time nnd. being dry, can
be readily mixed in tfltli other feed
stuffs The West Virginia experiment
station has compared the value of the
two for egg production, with results
decidedly in favor of the green bone.
During a period of four months, be
ginning Oct. 25. seventeen Plymouth
Rock hens fed the fresh bone laid 00
eggs of an nvernpc weight of 11.(5
pounds per 100, while a slmllnr number
fed ment menl in tholr rntlon laid 5ul
eggs, weighing 11.04 pounds per 100.
The fowls fed fresh ground ment and
bono also Incrensed more In weight
and were much healthier during the
experiment, four of the others having
died and being replaced by others. As
this experiment was made with only
one sample of meat menl the results
cannot be considered conclusive.
