No Sediment to Foul, Your Refrigerator No Disease Germs to Endanger Your Health m ORSDALL & JOSS ABOUT INSURANCE MEN WHO INSURE GRAIN ARE NOW BUSY, Many People Engaged In the Grain Insurance Business Life Insurance Men Also Reap a Harvest. Now is the time of year that the fire insurance agents are going forth into the fields and writing policies on tho growing grain. For a certain percentage on the dollar the insur ance man tells the farmer that his company will insure grain against the fire monster. If the passing tra& tlon engine, used in harvesting and threshing tho crop, tho carelessly dropped match or cigarette stub sets fire to the dry straw and burns a field of grain the company will make good the loss. Insurance Men Numerous. Fort he past two weeks these in surance men have been drifting into Pendleton and Umatilla county and one can hardly turn any way bit he is confronted by these individuals At first they worked in town among the farmers who came in to buy sup-: is in the fields and work has com plies but now that the machinery is in the fields and work has commenc ed preparing the golden grain for the market, they are beginning to go forth into the country and mingle with the farmers at their homes They tell their victims that "all care ful farmers insure," and this is be coming more and more to be a fact The many fires of late years are drlv ing the wheat raiser to take no chan ces on losing his grain by the fire deamon and he takes the first oppor tunity for Insuring. This makes it profitable for the insurance man. The rates for insuring grain in the field are not exhorbltant, although quite high. Grain Insurance Rates. To insure 25 bushel grain it cosU the farmer 75 cents per acre to get $9.50 on it. Forty bushel grain costs in the neighborhood of $1.20 per acre to get $15. This means for a month and includes the time the grain standing in the field, in the sack, or In the warehouse, if it gets this far before tho time runs out. After the grain is put in the sack the policy is raised as it becomes more valuable. Insurance Costs Something. It costs something for the farms to insure his gram and it costs the insurance companies something t make the trips into the country to get the business. On the other hand there are many wheat field fires ev ery season. The wheat is dry as chaff, full of natural oil and burns. like paper. A passing traction en gine, passing by a grain 'field starts a fire and the result is that some man loses a part of his crop and some times all of it. It is the existence of these conditions that makes the bus! ness of the fire insurance man prof itable. Farmers figure that it is bet ter to spend a little money after their crops are matured and be safe than to take any chances. Insurance Men Also Busy. The life insurance man is also do ing a lucrative business in the land at the present time and he expects times to get better in his business from now until late in fall. "With an immense wheat crop comes plenty of money and with plenty of .money comes business for all classes. ORLAN CLYDE CULLEN COTJNSELLOR-AT-LAW U. 8. Supreme Court REGISTERED ATTORNEY D. 8.

Sometimes it is a cyclone and sometimes a hatchet crusade, both seem to be taking a rest just now, but a Kansas paper tells what recently happened in that state from borrowing a newspaper. A man who was too economical to lake his home paper, sent his little boy to borrow the copy taken by his neighbor. In haste the boy ran over a $4 stand of bees and in 10 minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and falling to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that, breaking it down, cutting a handful of flesh from his anatomy, and ruining a $4 pair of pants. The cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the wife ran, up set a 4-gallon churn full of rich cream Into a basket of kittens, drowning them; in the hurry she lost a $7 set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the cream and into the parlor, ruining a brand new $20 carpet. During the excite ment the daughter ran away with the .hired man; the dog broke up 11 setting .hens, and the calves got out and chewed the talis off four white snlrtfl. " SIR HIRAM MAXIM'S PLAN8. Strong in His Belief of Final Succea In Constructing an Airship. World's Fair Grounds, St Louis, July 22. eir Hiram Maxim, the fa mous engineer and Inventor, sends word from his London home to Pres ident Francis of the World's Fair that he will go to work as soon as his health will permit upon jiew experi ments for a flying machine. Sir Hi- ram In nlnwlv recovering from an at tack of bronchitis and has gone to special treatment at one of the baths. . He expectB to return September 1st I His Idea, as IB generally known, is a machine which will have either the smallest relation or none at all to a. balloon. He firmly believes that anj nffpptlvo machine can be made with . which to navigate the air. He has already spent about $75,000 in ex periments and is quite as strong as ever In his belief of final Buccess. It is extremely probable a little later in the year, If his health is fully re stored that he will come to St Louis and enter more fully upon this mat ter, giving the committee the benefit of his experiments and of his great knowledge of aerostatlces. Thalr Lives. JV w 1 1 - On St Patrick's day of this year, seven Atlantic Coast guard life-savors were drowned together by the over tn a temnestuotis sea while endeavoring to rescue the crow from a wrecked barge, off the end of Cape Cod. Numbers of tho brave fellows in that Bervice give their lives to save others, every win ter The crew now on furlough with Buffalo Bill's Wild West, have daunt lesaly faced such perils for years. One of the most intensely interesting features in the arena program is their highly realistic demonstration of the way In which the "breeches buoy" is operated to take people from wrecks. All their outfit is loaned by the government for this use. They will be seen here on August 20. BIG WESTERN EXPOSITION. Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show Will Soon Visit Pendleton. Buffalo Bill's world-famous Wild West will appear in Pendleton on August 20, Though organized in the West ana wholly Western in its basic and dis tinctive components, this is the first season In, which the route of the show has been extended so far toward the setting sun, going clear to the Pacific coast. In many respects Buffalo Billjs Wild West is sul generis. Colonel diversified elements brought togethor by Colonel Cody (Buffalo Bill) and present them to the public in a Borles of episodic presentations of real life on the Western frontier. The perils of the pioneer, ever threatened by the merciless red men; the reckless sports of the roughest of "rough riders" with the most vicious of all animals ridden; the hazards of travel and the mar vellous service of the mail riders; with much more that need not be re counted here, all were vividly, oven thrillingly, shown in the Wild West's arena, not by a few trained actors w W. F. Cody, in forming it, had the great advantages of such personal experience in every phase of frontier life, exceptional influence through his inestimable service as Chief of Scouts in the army and individual ca pacity as organizer and disciplina rian, as probably no other man in the country possessed. With him in the enterprise was as sociated a veteran manager, Mr. Nate Salsbury, whose genius and training enabled him to combine in the most, highly effective manner the widely mere imitators of the deeds of others, but by hundreds of strong, forceful men who had gone through all those things in real life as part of the day's work. " Upon all these, as it went along, the Wild West has built up many more novel and quite distinct ive features, not wholly Western, but illustrative of the sturdy deeds and gallant lives of virile men in all parts of the world, until it Is the greatest exhibition of manhood as well as the most exciting and interesting enter tainment ever afforded to the public MR. MOURALLA WAS MAD TURK WAS ANGRY BECAUSE HE COULDN'T WIN. Frank Lewis Refused to Be Thrown and Now a Match Is Being Made for $100 a Side. When Mouralla,,, the "Terrible Turk," went on the mat with Frank Lewis in this city last Saturday night be wasn't sure whether or not he was up against it but before he had been engaged in keeping the huskj' fellow who vas after hip scalp away from him for a few minutes. Mr. Mouralla was certain about it; he was up against it good and prop er. Instead of throwing his oppo nent in seven minutes, as he had proudly ngreed to do. he was having the time of his life to keen from rub bing shoulders with the mat himself. Then Mr. Mouralla was real mad. and deep down in his Turkish throat he said a. most slve Turkey word sound a bit like "gobble-gobble,1 either. He was so mad that ho wanted re venge, and ho wanted It bad. but as there was no axe handy and he didn't care to use any milder argument just at, the time, his revenge had to be postponed. his opportunity came, however. when Lewis stepped to the front of tho stage and challenged the big ieuow to a Dout for three falls in an hour. That is, the Turk was to throw him three times In 60 minutes, while If Lewis stood off the big wrestler for the hour or managed to throw him during jthat time, he won the match an'd purse. Mouralla and his manacer ott thn city without covering tho nronnnl. tlon, which was for $100 a aide, the winner to taKe the not and the entn receipts to be divided. I The Walla Walla papers, however. announco that tho Turk and bis man ager are in that city arranging for the match, which they say is already made and tho money up, the bout to come off in Walla Walla In in days. Lewis did not know deflnltolv int ovoning whethor or not the money! had been posted, as he had not heard from Frank Stahl, of Walla Walla, whom ho has authorized to complete the match for bim. He is more than willing to go against the big fellow however, and is confident that he can not only stand him off for the hour, but can, if necessary, throw him be fore the time is up. HUNTING TRACY." That Is the Latest Game Among Pendleton's Children. "Hunting Tracy" is the latest game to be evolved by the "Young Amer ica" element In this city. This is the way the game is played: One of the larger boys or girls, as the case may be, is armed with a strong stick or club and given several min utes start of the other players in or der to give bim or her a chance to hide. Then the other players arm them selves with smaller clubs, sticks stones, etc., ad lib., and go in pur suit of the hiding Tracy. It is sup posed to be a strict rule of the game u u i irR.su wiroai.tna(.

It was noted by the East Oregonlan man, who saw the game In operation that "Tracy" always escaped, and that the childish players represent ing the posse carried numerous black eyes, bloody noBes and a goneral as sortment of bruises as mementoes of -the strenuous nature of the game.
