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.
