Indians Rejoicing Over Order to Stop Small Farming on . Foothills Fences Will Also He llcmowl From Unallotted IjiikIs. Lonvliis TbU Pnn. tkn of the Umatilla Reservation Open to tlie Common Use of the Entire Tribe for Pasturage. One effort of the Umatilla Indi ana to preserve aboriginal conditions on the reservation, has at least been particularly successful. It Is understood that one of the recommendations of Inspector Valen tine to the Indian commissioner was for the removal of all fences on un allotted lands, and for the cessation f leases on unallotted lands, also, leaving this portion of the reservation to be held as a common pasturage for the tribe. H-rttofore a small portion of the unallotted lands of the tribe along the foothills haa been leased to small farmer and much of the land not allotted haa been fenced by the Indi ans themselves, thus giving Individu al an advantage over the tribe, to whom the lands belong In common. In order to preserve this unallotted territory for the use of the tribe. It will be thrown entirely open for pas turage, giving' every Indian an equal privilege to use this undivided prop erty of the tribe. This order meets with the hearty Indorsement of the tribe aa It is a re turn to aboriginal conditions to this extent that it removes the fences, tops farming on the foothill pas tures and throw open to common jise the rich grass lands that have been more or less monopolized by a few Indians. . The unallotted land of the reserva tion comprises perhaps one-fifth of the total area and upon this portion are found fine springs of water, ex cellent grass and plenty of scattering J brush and timber making It Ideal grazing land. For several years many J of the rich bottoms and moist places have been farmed In a small way, thus depriving the Indians of the use of Its pasture. For this order the Umatillaa are highly praising the work of Inspec tor Valentine and through his visit here hope to realize many of their long-cherished dreams. MURDER AND SUICIDE. E. L. Swartsel, of California, Kill Himself and His Woman Compan ion. Portland, Aug. 21. Portland Elks will have charge of the funeral of E. L. Wwartsel and Mrs. Lena M. Cllse. of Pasadena, Cal who were found dead late Saturday evening on the bank of the Columbia, a mile above Vancouver, Wash. A note In Swart sel's pocket made this request and the order will respect It. Swartsel and Mrs. CllBe eloped from Pasadena, Cal., 10 days ago, and after living together In this city as man and wife while here, became de spondent from remorse and It Is sup posed agreed to die together, as no evidence of any struggle was found where the couple were lying. The woman was shot through the heart and waa lying face down, Swart sel being shot through the head had fallen across the body of the woman, In which position they were found. Mrs. Cllse left three children In California and Swartsel left a wife and one small child. A letter which the woman had written to her son but had failed to mail, waa found In her satchel. Threshing Machine Wrecked. A threshing machine belonging to James Wlckens, Walter Hill and Wil liam and Erail Miller, of the Flat, waa overturned Tuesday and damaged beyond repair. The thresher waa coupled to the engine and was being moved from Mrs. Mary Brugger's farm originally belonging to Henry Hug, but now the property of A. J. Tucker. In reaching the desired set ting It waa necessary to pull up a steep Incline near Mr. Tucker's resi dence, and in going up the clutch on the engine gave way aad let the whole outfit run down hill, Tho threshing machine was overturned several times and was smashed Into by the engine. The thresher Is a total wreck and cannot be repaired. Elgin Recorder. Haa Freak Apple Tree. G. T. Ray, who lives two and a half miles northwest of Eugene, has a freak apple tree. It might be classed as a perpetual fruit raiser. Mr. Ray brought to the Register office yester day apples matured, apples of half size, and apples just forming from the bloom, and fresh blossoms, all from the same tree. Thus the tree shows fruit In all stages of develop ment The tree from which these samples were taken Is of the Graven -stein variety. Eugene Register. Orlarra at Ike I.orlfor Mafeh. The late Sir Isaac Holden's Inven tions In connection with the wool comb ing industry lmve almost obscured from the public's remembrance the fact that lie was also the originator of the htclfer match. This happened while filling the posltiou of lecturer on chem istry at the Castle Street academy, Reading. lie used to rise at 4 In the morning In order to pursue his studies and found the old fashioned flint ami steel extremely Inconvenient. So one fitly ho nmri n pnste of phosphorus and other substances, stuck It on the end of a silver of wood and found It would Ignite on being rubbed ngnlnst any rough substance. Holden himself did not realize the Importance of his dis covery. Not so, however, a pupil of his to whom he showed It. This youngster, who chauml to be the son of a London manufacturing chemist, at once wrote to his father about It, and shortly after luclfer matches were Issued to the world. Ixmilon Mall. Queer Thins Aooat Hoove. Tho chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture, ac cording to the Salt Lake Tribune, was asked by a reporter why he did not In vestigate rouge. "Rouge," the reporter said, "may be very harmful, very pol sonous, sir. lon't you think that It re quires investigation?" The chemist smiled. "No," he answered; "I can't say I do. If rouge were poisonous, un numbered women would have died of It long ago. By the way, I'll tell you a queer thing about rouge. It Is some thing that I came upon one day in a pharmacy, and I think It Illustrates an odd phase of human nature. A youug girl was buying a pot of rouge, and I heard her murmur to the clerk. 'You guarantee that this will not rub off?' 'I do,' the clerk answered. 'This, like all our rouges. Is warranted to stand the hardest kiss of Investigation that any of your women friends will try on it" Woman's Dress. But, my dear, good Odo, a woman's husband Is not the man a wife dresses for. She makes herself as attractive as she can for everybody worth know ing. You must be an extraordinary person If you suppose tbflt I am going In for the red nud green transformation treatment for you simply for you. A woman who Is really a woman and not a hockey player has to watch the fash Ion aa closely as a rook watches a pot, and the married woman of the present day must do all she can to look like the unmarried woman of yesterday. It Is the married women wJiq are the most popular with men. It Is the married women who control polities, the army, literature and the stage. Therefore can't you see how necessary it Is for them to do all they can to remain at tractive? Red hair and green eyes? Yes. Blue teeth and amber eyes If necessary or black teeth and white eyes. London World. Insular laaoranee. I have beeu told by a Canadian that In discussing with an English general tbe possibility of sending troops from England to the far east via Canada the latter raised the objection that It would not be desirable for them to travel over United States territory! I have been told of an English official having condoled shortly after McKln ley'a assassination with Canadian on the loss of his president I have my self heard an educated Englishman ex press to a Canadian audience his sur prise at finding modern civilization ex isting in a country which he bad till then believed to be under permanent Ice and snow. Countess of Mints in National Review. Odd Orlarln of an Epidemic. In a house in the English town of Exeter sat two men. One of them in formed his companion that the last time be was in the town be suffered from smallpox in that very room. "In that corner, he said, "was a cup board where the bandages were kept. It is now plastered over, but they are probably still there." And he took a poker, broke down the plaster and found them. From their "find" the two men contracted the disease, aud it spread through the town and work ed fenrful havoc. Man. Poor Man! "Is my hat on straight';" "Yes. Hurry or we'll be late." "Are you sure it's on perfectly tralgbtr "Yes, I tell you. Yon couldn't get It traighter." "Then I'll have to go bark again, John. Yon know It Isn't stylish to wear this kind of a hat straight" Cleveland Leader. Self Imnvovomeat, Every real and searching effort at elf Improvement la of Itself a lesson of profound humility, for we cannot move a step without learning and feel tag the waywardness, the weakness, vacillation of our movements or with out desiring to be set upon the rock that Is higher than ourselves. Glad atone. A Tima For All Thlafa. It Is a maxim universally agreed upon that nothing must be done too late and, again, that everything must be done at Its proper season, while there Is a third precept which reminds us that opportunities lost can never be regained.

Roosevelt's Boston 8 tors. Historic Baby BottlM. Rnnlea for hu tiles date back 'to re liote antiquity. Most people are of the opinion that feeding bottles for babies must be an invention of modern times. According to Professor Mosby, how ever, this i not the case. This gentle man, who was lecturing before an anti quarian society, stated that It was the custom among the Greeks for the nurses to carry a spouge full of hooey In a smull pot to stop children from crying. The professor went on to say Hint there lire two Greek vases In the British inuseuiu dating from 700 B. C which closely resemble the feeding hot ties used subsequently by the Romans. In the old lloman cemetery of St. Sep ulilier, Canterbury, a feeding bottle of bright red polished ware was dug up in IStil, and Professor Mosby came to the com-luslon that this bottle must have been buried with the little Ro wan child to whose wants It hud min istered during the child's lifetime. Byron and Napoleon. The more I think of Byron the more clear It becomes to me that he Is first, second and third a tragic figure. He was the child of a loveless marriage, that constant source of huge armies of discordant natures. His upbringing was tragic; his marriage waa tragic; his lows were tragic; bis death, which at first I thought only tragic farce, Is actual tragedy. Byrou and Napoleon, contemporaries, were the analogues and complements of each other. Byrou is the passive tragedy of the Imagina tive temperament as poet, using ex pression; Napoleon Is the active trag edy of the Imaginative temperament as warrior and world compeller, em ploying deeds. Byron Inevitably ends In an abortive attempt at action In Greece, Napoleon as Inevitably In au abortive attempt at expression (the dic tated memoirs! In St. Helena. Johu Davidson in London Outlook. A Bit of Orator?. There was a time when our commerce was carried In American ships manned by American seamen. There was a time when the flag floated over Ameri can cargoes nnd when Its bright, beau tiful stars aud emblematic stripes en livened every sea nnd port where com merce was known. The American, looking out on the broad ocean, beheld It in the orient and In the Occident. Whither he went To the northern wastes of snow Or swayed where the soft magnolias blow It was there there to remind him of bis own native land, whose sons re sembled In their strength the gnarled oak of her deepest forests and whose daughters rivaled in their beauty and loveliness the orange blossoms of her most fragrant orange groves, From J Speech by Benton McMlllln. Orlarln of tho Footmark. Great Britain, It is said, can, without fear of contradiction, claim the honor of having originated the postmark. The first one, which was used In Lon don Hi lon( ago as 1660, was a very simple affair, consisting of a small cir cle divided Into two parts. In the top portion were two letters indicating the month, while In the lower half the day of the month was shown. No endeavor was made to denote the year, and It Is only by the dates of the letters on which the mark Is Impressed that It Is possible to fix the date of Its use. The earliest known was on a letter written In 1080. London Telegraph. Kickers always attract attention. One ! class of them sells high on the market, The highest priced four legged kicker Is ' a hybrid creature, irritable and somewhat onscrlptural. The chronic kicker is an amusing two legged "ani mal," not so dangerous, however. A kicker never builds up. He is great on tearing down. The world's happi ness has been promoted more by com pliments than by curses, so, good read er, when yon feel like kicking Just re-' tire to the back yard and kick yourself a few times rather than join the knock ers' chorus. Kansas City Journal. An Irishman's Retort. Cyrus W. Field of Atlantic cable fame once stopped an Irish peasant to make Inquiries about Blarney castle. Receiving the Information, be gave the Irishman the following conundrum-. "Now, Mike, suppose that Lucifer was sure of us both, which would he take first, do you think?" The Irishman looked thoughtful for a moment, then said, "Yer honor, I think he'd take me." "Why?" said Field. "Because he's always sure of yon." Its Great Full.

LIVES DEARER THAN OUR VERY OWN How -.nanjr lives dearer to us than our very own have been placed in needless Jeopardy by failure to provide against and forestall the great suffering which too frequency accompanies and follows the bearing of children ) That we would do anything within our power to obviate the possibility- ol such an happening ia too patent to admit of question; therefore mark well this fact a liniment, MOTHER'S FRIEND by name, has been devised, whose function it is to prepare in advance th muscles and tissues intimately associated with parturition. Thia liniment is for external application. Ily its use the parta are relaxed and enabled to withstand not only the actual strain brought to bear on them during accouchement, but also to rally from this ordeal aud t.pwdily regain their normal proportions and tonicity.

Hook " Motherhood " free. BRAttnZLD REGULATOR CO.. Atlanta. Co. OF The Oregon Dally Journal publish es the following list of big funnels of the Walla Walla wheat belt: Some Idea of the way Immense for tunes have been built up by farmers of the Inland Empire, within a very few years, mny be gained when It Is known that In Walla Walla county ulone there are 15 furmers who will harvest and market this year nearly l.OftO.000 bushels of grain, valued at the present market price at more than JSOO.000. These IS men will harvest nearly SO per cent of the total wheat crop credited to Walla Walla county. which, according to conservative es timates, will reach 5.000,000 bushels. Heading this list Is George Drumhel ler, whose total wheat acreage this year amounts to nearly 8000 acres. The yield from this Immense body of land will amount to 240.000 bushels. Mr. Drumheller is easily the biggest farmer In Walla Walla county, al though he is yet a young man and his operations have not extended over a period of 10 years. Starting out In 1898 by renting several hundred acres of his father, he has by hard work rapidly added to his holdings until today he Is farming nearly 15,000 acres of land. Ho owns several thou sand acros and rents the balance. Second on the list of big farmers of ine county are uroie orotners, wno will harvest this year about 104,000 bushels of wheat off 4000 acres of land in Eureka flat Grote brothers are farming the Charles Pickard lands, although they own several thousand acres themselves. Their holdings averaged something more than 25 bushels to the acre. Eureka, Flat Farms. William Jones, president of the Jones-Scott company, will have near ly 100,000 bushels of wheat for sale this fall, the yield off 32B0 acres of land on Eureka flat. Mr. Jones has 2500 acres In one body near Rulo sta tion, which went 30 bushels to the acre, and 750 acres near Plea'sant View that went a Uttlo better than 30 bushels. Associated with Mr. Jones Is J. C. Scott, secretary of the JoncB- Scott company, who harvested 28,0001 bushels off 900 acres near Rulo sta-1 tlon. John Hoffman, another big Eureka flat farmer, has 2000 acres that aver aged 30 bushels. Mr. Hoffman Is farming about S000 acres all told, this being his light year. Re owns and operates one of tho biggest threshing outfits In the state, using a 100-horse power traction engine, and one of the largcHt sized combined harvesters. Among other farmers who harvest ed Immense crops this year are Coun ty Commissioner George Struthers. who secured 48,000 bushels off 1500 acres of land near Eureka Junction; Patrick Lyons and sons, 40,000 bush els off 1000 acres in the foothill dis trict; R. J. Tompkins, 40,000 bushels off 1000 acres on Eureka flat; Max well brothers, 22,000 bushels off 1000 acres on Eureka flnt; Maxwell broth ers, 22,000 bushels off 1000 acres In the Touchet country; KIrKman estate. 24,500 bushels off 700 acres on Dry creek; Fred Stlne, 24,000 bushels off 00 acres south of Walla Walla; Mln nick brothers, 32.000 bushels off 800 acres near Spring Valley; Charles Pearson, 30,000 bushels off 100 acres on uppor Eureka flat; Jap Scott, 45, 000 bushels off 1500 acres on Dry creek, and W. C. Hall, 38,000 bushels off 1280 acres on Eureka flat. Tho rapidity with which several of these farmers have accumulated for tunes, even in this day when fortunes are made, so to speak, over night, is amazing to eastern farmers who have visited this valley. Eight years ago Mr. Struthers was a foreman on the ranch of Judge C. B. Upton on Euro ka flat. He saw the possibilities of farming on a large scale and, resign Ing his position, rented a big body of land. He made enough the first year to purchaao a section of land on the flat, and his rise since then Is but one Instance of what energy and good farming will do In the Walla Walla valley. Mr. Struthers owns at pres ent about 6000 acres of land and Is rated to be worth $860,000. Grote brothers two years ago were practically unknown, but they are now worth $100,000, and another good IT KINGS IVALLA WALLA COUNTY crop or two will see their fortune doubled. Minnlck brothers are worth more than $100,000, where a few years ago they owned a comparatively small body of land. John Hoffman was a ranch hand 10 years ago, but today la worth (250,000. Maxwell brothers were photographers three years ago. They took up homesteads In the Touchet country and purchased about 1000 acres of land adjoining for 85 an acre. This year they harvested 22.000 bushels of wheat and have ar ranged to purchase 1500 acres of land on Eureka flat. Charles Pearson Is not yet 32 years of age, but he haa made within the last four years approximately $35,000, and Is now In a position to add $10, 000 a year to his fortune. Tle Cotton Situation. New York, Aug. 21, Miller A Co., In their weekly cotton review say: The report that rain has fallen In certain sections of Texas, which had suffered from drouth, has stimulated trade by the belief that the cotton prospect In Texas has materially Im proved. The advices from Tennessee are also more favorable, but It would be advisable to await more definite reports before accepting the theory that the changes in the weather will cause any material change in the cot ton crop. New cotton Is beginning to move quite freely and a large In crease In receipts is expected before the bnginnlng of next month. So far this has hnd no particularly weaken ing effect upon the market. Constitutional Convention Meets. Muskogee, I. T., Aug. 21. The Constitutional Convention of the five civilized tribes of the Indian Nation, for which a call had been sent out by W. M. Rogers, principal chief of the Cherokee nation, and Green Mc C'urtnln, chief of the Choctaw nation, met here this morning, with every district well represented. The object of the convention is to adopt a ilruft of a state constitution, which Is to be submitted to congress at the session next winter. Lehman Springs Stage.

ECZEMA ITCHES AND BURNS The return of warm weather means a return of torture to Eczema sufferers. The blood is charged with burning acids and acrid matter which is forced to the surface through the pores and glands, forming pustules which discharges atickj fluid, and the itchii.g is intense. The doctors said I had pustular Bo cema; It would break outin small whits Suatules, mostly on my face and hands, iaohanrlng- a sticky fluid; crusts would form and drop off, leaving the skin red and Inflamed. I was tormented with the itching and burning ohsraeter iatio of the disease for five years, and during the time used various medioatsd soaps, ointments and washes, but theaa applications seemed to make me worse. After taking- B. B. S. a short time I be gan to Improve; the itching did not worry me so muoh. I continued the mediolne, and soon all the ugly erup tion disappeared and myakinlsnow as clear as anybody's. I havj not been troubled with any breaking out since, Urbana, O. E. E. KELLY. Sometimes the disease is In the dry form, and bran-like scales form on the skin, but the cause is the same humors in the blood. Salves, cooling washes, powders and the like can do nothing more than relieve the Itching, because they do not reach the acid-laden Wood, the seat of the trouble. S. S.
