Fred Lockley. - Echo, Aug. 20. O. F. Thompson, "the ploneqr citizen of Buttdr creek, who suffered a slight stroke of paral ysis a few Says ago, has recovered. Mrs. H. C. Willis waa sovoroly tung by bees at the home of O. D. Teel this week, while plcklug peaches. A carload of Ice was recolved from Pendleton Thursday, and hdlped In reducing the temperature greatly. It. E. Thorn, the well known bee-keeper of Butter creek, sold 60 tons alfalfa hay to the McNaught Ditch Company this week. ' Tho McNaught Ditch Company Is preparing to irrigate and place on the -market a large tract of their land in the vicinity of Maxwell. The new water system under way xls progressing nicely. There Is now nothing in the way of the early com pletion of the system, as the surveys 'have been made and all obstacles re "nioved from the site. - The recent cloudbursts In the Al '.kali canyon took out the concrete ibeadgate In the Hunt ditch, now jowned by the Hlnkle Ditch Company, .and the NewjKirt Construction Com pany has Just completed an elegant .gate in a different location, which will be out of the way of floods. The pld gate cost about $2300 10 years ago, and was a fine piece of work, but was placed in tho gulch, so it was exposed to floods and high water in the canyon. The surveys of the townslte this week deprived some of the old-timers of land they thought they owned. Frank Spike lost a front fence and a row of stately elms in front of his house, but in compensation got a slice of real estate from H. G. Newport, on the other side. The lines are run ning in unexpected places. L. B. Huffman, a merchant of Co yote, has on hand the carcasses of 30 smoked American hare, which he pre pared as an experiment. The ani mals are fat and sweet, and the green willow smoke gives them a flavor that is an appetizer for sure. He will make further experiments if he can get fat rabbits and find a market for his output. HEAVY WHEAT YIELD. i E, W. McComas Says 15 Times More ( Wheat Than Last Year In West , Part of County. i "The wheat ylold bewteen Fendle i ton and Umatilla this summor," de- clared E. W. McComas, tho local I grain dealer, "will bo lu times ns largo as It was last year. I am not referring to Increased acreage for the heavy returns on account of ex cellent crops," Last season the wheat yield north west of Pendleton was very light In most Instances. At tho 1000-acre farm of M. J. Foster, last season, the total yield amounted to 2S0 sacks. This year he will harvest 10,000 sacks. With very few. If any exceptions, the farmers of Umatilla county are more than pleased with the season's yield. With good prices now and prospects for oven better quotations, the owners are contemplating im provements on tnelr farms, and it is said a number of new ranch dwell ings will be erected this fall. Buys Pendleton Property. Miss I.ura Richards, for nearly three years postmistress at Pilot Ttnck, has bought the Harold Stewart residence on West Court street, Pen dleton, for wn.ch sne has paid $3750. This Is a desirable residence prop erty, consisting of one and one-half lots, and near the business center of town. Miss Richards leaves for Pen dleton tomorrow to close tho deal. She will not go to Pendleton to llv.e until tho middle of October. Her de parture from Pilot Rock will be re gretted here by her many friends who hold her in th.e highest esteem. Pilot Hock Record. MAKING HIS FRUIT PAY. Successful Methods of a Walla Walla Orchardist. There is a farmor named McMinn, near Walla Walla, Wash., who always realizes more for his prunes than al most anybody els.e In his neighbor hood. He cultivates beneath his trees till the ground Is a perfect dust-bed; this conserves the moisture of his soli. Ho never picks his prunes. When they are thoroughly ripe, he shakes them down on the dust-like soil beneath his trees. The ground Is so soft that they are not bruised. In -drying them ho rejects the ones of poor quality. Yes, it Is a little more trouble but he Is paid well for his trouble and he always has a demand tor bis output. When a farmer aav.es himself a lit tle trouble by taking In his products In an uninviting way he usually more than pays for the extra trouble by tho smaller price he gets. As an exam ple, I have seen cherries taken to market In busncl boxes. Possibly a third of them were cracked, or not In the best condition. For perfect Royal Anns the grocer was paying 4 cents but for the In ferior fruit only 2V4 cents. The gro cer sees the cracked cherries and takes them at 2 cents. Say the farmer had 601 pounds of cherries. Weston Wheat Sells Well. Henry Pinkerlon hit the market this w.eek at Its top notch, selling 3250 bushels last Wednesday to the ole vator company's local agent at 6716c. Yesterday the market was "off" a cent or so. Mr. Pinkerton made just $85 by waiting one day after being advised to sell by the most compe tent authority on the wheat market In town whom modesty forbids us to name. This sum will more than pay his fare for his contemplated visit this fall back to "tho states." Wes ton Leader. i U The Breakers " ' Where to Stop at North Beach The Breakore Hotel la conducted to attract the heat patronage, land is a summor hold that la unsurpassed on tho Pacific Coast north of tho famous California beach rosorta. Tho building has an ocean front of 100 foot, la 76 feot wide and four atorios high, or 73 feot from tho ground floor to tho top of the observatory. It has handsomely furnished roomB, single or on BUlto, for 250 guests, each room being carpeted. Tho house Is lighted by olectriclty with electric lights and elec tric call bells in overy room, and these lights make It one of the most brilliant beacons on tho ontirc coast. Tho entire lower floor Is thrown open to tho public, and, being beautifully carpeted, tho spacious reception room and large, airy halls always form favorite gathering places for guests. Tho billiard and pool room 1b also quite popular for merry gatherings. An Aeolian and Pianola In tho commodloua parlor furnishes delightful music at all times, and musicals are pleasant features during the entire season. Tho Breakers has a regular orchestra which furnishes music for informal dances and balls, and tho large dining room, with its smooth, hard floor, makes an ideal hall for regular dancing parties. An abundance o ffrcsh and salt water fish, clams, oysters, crabs and other sea food Is always on our menu; our entire supply of milk, butter and cream comes from our own herd of Jersey cows, and poultry and eggs aro supplied from the hotel farm adjoining tho grounds. There arc hot and cold, frosh and salt water baths In the house, with private baths and toilets. Tho waves of tho ocean at high tide roll within 200 feot of the hotel, and the beach In front Is superb for Burf bathing. On the grounds are bowling alleys, golf links, tonnls courts and croquet sets; on tho lake, just back of the hotel, is a fleet of sail and row boats, and on Shoalwater bay, just east of the lakes, Is a gasoline launch for parties of fishermen, picnickers or others who prefer the warm, still-water bathing to the tumbling of the surf. All trains stop at tho railroad station in the hotel grounds, and no crowding into hotel omnibuses or walking in sand is necessary, since the hotel ground is a perfect velvety lawn, where the guests are practically lauded at the hotel door. Tho Breakers Hotel la located at Breakers Station, a regular ticket office, where all trains stop. It Is one and a half miles north of Long Beach Station. In purchasing tickets see that they read to Breakers, Wash., and havo baggage checked through to that polnL Telegraph and telophone connections In the hotel. Address all correspondence as follows: HOTEL BREAKERS, Long Beach, Wash. i EIGHT Weston Hay Prices.

Dozier nnd Sim J. Culley, nnd netted $11.50 per ton at J the platform to tho growers. Weston Leader. The Death Penalty. I A little thing sometimes results In ! death. Thus a mere scratch, insig-1 nlflcant cuts or puny bolls have paid the death penalty. It Is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when burns, sores, ulcers and plies threaten. Only 25c at Tallman & Co.'s drug store. Bought New Separator. S. B.
