If you don't Slight Snow at Milton General News Notes Many Intend to Take Up Homesteads in the New IrrigVted Country Below Hudson Bay. Milton, March 4. About four inches of snow fell here last Tuesday morn ing. Bonnie Osborn moved Lis family from Walla Walla to his ranch, above town, the first of the week. Last week wns examination week in the Milton school, and Monday all that passed were promoted. It is not necessary to mention that many were disappointed when they received their grades. There will be a social in the opera house next Friday night and a sup per at the Merchants' cafe. The lecture in the opera house, by Dr. McClish. last Monday evening, was the best of the season, so far. Oscar Montgomery is hauling lum ber and building a new house on his ranch near James Stubblefleld's, west of town. Roy Connell, of Camas Prairie, is visiting his sister, Mrs. Amos Dcmar Is, this week. Mr. Anderson undertook to haul two and a half tons of sulphur from the depot up town Monday and broke the kingbolt in his dray, letting the front part of the dray drop .to the ground, otherwise doing no damage. A niece of Mr. and Mrs. Polo Beau mont came over from La Grande last Saturday on a couple of weeks' visit. Miss Sylvonia Devine left Tuesday evening for Oregon City, Salem and Scio on a month's visit with rela tives and friends. William Worthington is having a new stone cellar built over which he intends to put a wool house, this month. A couple of young bloods who had imbibed too freely in Preewater's five cent "red eye," were arrested Monday for using profane language on the street, and were fined $10 each, in default of which they were senten ced to the city jail for five days. Taking Up Homesteads. It is said that the land below the Hudson Bay country is so poor that a jack rabbit has never been seen on it. Whether this is true or not, there is quite a stir in this vicinity over it, and quite a number express their intention of taking up homesteads, since the irrigation move has been made. If water can be gotten on that section in quantities, it will prove, no doubt, to be as rich in soil as any part of Umatilla or Walla Walla counties, and instead of being a sandy, barren desert with not enough vegetation to support a rabbit, will be the garden spot of the above mentioned counties and support thousands of human be ings. Phelps Disappears. J. D. Phelps, who has been doing a general merchandise business in Mil ton for the last 18 or 20 years, and has been selling goods at cost and auc tion for the last three months, saying that he intended to quit business on account of his health, has disappear ed and his whereabouts, up to this time, are unknown. About two weeks ago he went to Pomeroy, Wash., on business, but just what that business was no one knows for certain. There are several rumors afloat. One is that he was in straitened circumstances and couldn't face his creditors; an other is that he has eloped with woman, as a certain woman with whom he has been on certain terms packed her goods and left for parts unknown about the same time that he did. It is to be hoped that he will return and give a clear record of his disappearance, but it is doubtful, as it is known that he left a wifo about 25 years ago in the East and came West. He leaves a wife and one daughter, who feel the sting of dis grace that has been brought on them by one who should be their protea tor.
