Ycors Mr,' Ell Has Boon an Active Member of Pendle ton Volunteer Flro Companies and Takes Great interest ' In Fire Pro tection Would Have On or Two Paid Firemen on Duty -Expense ot Such Protection Would Make a Raise in Saloon Licenses 'Neces sary Councilman Joe Ell, recently elect td from ths Third ward, was for 17 years an active member of Pendleton volunteer fire companies and is an enthusiastic advocate of paid firemen for Pendleton. In speaking ct the fire protection now enjoyed by the city last evening to the East Oregonlan, Mr. Ell said that he believes one or two firemen should be on duty constantly, to take the lead In laying hose or locating a fire on an alarm being sounded. Ho highly compliments the present fire compnnles but declares that the city is now beyond the country vll lnje stage and should bo provide1 with adequate fire protection und that the ony way In which ample and full protection can bo given to property owners Is to Install a paid fireman Into office and ha In charge of the fire apparatus and on duty at an times. uinx ih i.i -"lovv for the city Is now at the too notch and as the In come Is largely consumed by the present government it Is likely that an Increase In saloon licenses will be advocated for the purpose of raising additional funds with which to fur nish adequate and modern fire pro tection. While Mr. Ell did not speak of a raise of saloon llconscs, yet that la the nnlv loElcal means by which lncroas ed revenue ca bo expected. The li censes at present are but 1050 per year and It Is thought by many ousi ncss men that they should pay at least tlOOO per year, which would Increase the revenues of the city and have a tendency to Improve the character of saloons by placing greater responm hllltv on them In a financial way. The sentiment for a paid fireman Is wldesnread. The fireman could not ' only be of great service In fighting fire, after It has once broken out. but can also render Invaluable assistance hv watching dangerous places and nfnrco the laws against scattering combustible refuse and waste In maces whero It woud endanger nrnnertv. This will be one of Mr. Ell's chief subjects for discussion during nis in cumbency In office. RETPRXEO TO PORTLAND. posing as Leo Sampson, an honored man among his fellowB. While Leo lakes the Joke calmly ho . does not wish to have drunken Indians using his name, and If he finds the fabrica tor he may call him to account for his deception. filVIHS IlLVlNt. LA.ND. Recovery Prom Severe Illnem was Rapid Hero. W. D. Dunn and wife yesterday left for Portland after a residence of four months In this place, during Mr. Dunn's convalescence from typhoid fever and from the earlier stages of nervous prostration. Mr. Dunn, until the breaking down of his hcaHh last spring, had been a confidential book keeper In the employ of tho naviga tion bureau of the O. R. & N. for flvo years. The coming of Mr. Dunn and wife to Pendleton was an Incident merely, os they purposed spending the latter part of the summer and fall on the plutcau of the Blue mountains, anu thev stopped here on the advice of a physician who advised them to reach tho higher altitude gradually, air. Dunn's Improvement has been so rapid here that they saw no reason for going further, and they return to Portland with high praises for this cllmato and local environment. Mr, Dunn was a patlont of Dr. Rest while here. WAS NOT THE INTERPRETER. Loo Sampson Was Neither Drunk Nor In Police Court. Leo Sampson, official Interpretc on the Umatilla reservation, has been the victim of a lie told by another Indian, doubtless through admiration for the young Interpreter. A few days ago an Indian was brought Into pollen court charged with being drunk, and he gave the namo of Leo Ramnson. Consequently It went abroad that Leo Sampson. Interpre ter for his tribe, had been celebrat ing his election to office, ".'stetdiy the news was broken to inn rea Sampson by Major Edwards, tmd Le was greatly astonished at the report, for hp Is not a drinking man und hart been behaving In an entirely credlta blo manner at the time Ms mine went on the police docket as a drunk From the. circumstances In the case there Is no doubt but that suiiij f- low tribesman thought he would shine before Judge Fltz Ooild by In tea, Schilling's Best !sby no means the costliest tea ; it's a matter of taste.

All work fuaru- Pneklng Company Secured 1,000,000 Acres In Wyoming, Local attorneys representing Swift & Co., while not denying that the corporation Is acquiring thousands of acres in northorn Colorado and southern Wyoming, will not admit It Is for grazing purpotet. but assort the bis Chicago packing company Is merely purchasing water rights and that the land Is merely "appurten ances thereunto belonging." Cattlemen who for months have been aware of the scheme of tho naln member of the "Big Four" concern, persistently assert is me olossal plan of Swift & Co. to ac quire a million acres or as near that much land as Is possible, to be tnrown Into one big range for cattle which the company will close-herd and feed 'or slaughter In Its big packing plants. Other Denver men who claim to hovo Inside Information say that 'wlft & Co. Is acquiring the land for agricultural purposes and the rats- nor of sugar beets. Part of the deal Is the construction -if a $3,100,000 Irrigation ditch, which III vl-tunlty reclaim every acre of arid land In Wold, Logan, Morgan md Washington countlos. The four -ountlos, which are mostly arid at the present tlme.will be turned Into one of Colorado's garden spots, and land which four years ago could not be ijlven awny, will sell as high as 1100 per acre when tho ditch Is constructed. This was the welcome news re elved from Chicago this morning. The report had It that those In a po sition to know figure It will mean an Increase of 110, 000,000 to tho agrlcul ural output in Colorado annually. Primarily, Swift & Co. Intend con structing the ditch for the purpose of arrylng water to their large stock ranch In Eastern Wyoming. Irriga tion experts In the employ of the ompany, after looking over the field, found that the best way water could be secured Is by tapping the Laramie river eight miles north of Ault In Weld county. HIGH SCHOOL GLEE CUB. Idea Greatly Stimulated by tho Re cent Sacred Opera. -Plans are being considered for the organization of a glee club from the students of tho Pendleton high s moot. Interest In the matter has been aroused by the success of the recent "Queen Esther" entertainment, In which the chorus was eosnnosed of high school students. There ure many good singers among the young men attending the high school, and it 1b believed a very successful glee club can be organized. It Is proposed to glvo ui entertain ment here In which tho young ladies of the school will also assist In a chorus. Then a tour will bo iriang. ed for a number of the places In eastern Oregon and Washington. Among some of those proposed for the glee club are Elmer Stori !. Her bert Ruppe. Glenn Scott. H.

Preparations" Mado to "Celebrate the . . i '." Event. The Falun Statesman gay of" the preparations for Christmas at the re form school: ' "' ' -' Great preparations are now under way at the stato reform school In or der' to "properly celebrate that holt- duy of oil holidays In the minds of every boy, whether largo or small, old or young Christmas. .''..'"'. The boys In charge of their various teachers have scoured the country for holly and mistletoe with which to decorate ths chap.l and halls, which even now with their festoons of ever greens, are beginning to assume a de cidedly attractive appearance. As usual the Christmas tree' will play a prominent part In the exercises of the occasion and there Is no doubt but what It will be loaded to Its ut most capacity, as nearly every boy has a number of friends In this or other parts of the state, and in con nection, the stato tees that each one receives a plentiful supply of candy, nuts, etc., besides one or more useful articles. The boys themselves have consider able spending money, as a number of them were allowed to labor In the hop fields this season. When one beholds the happy, cheer ful faces of the bpys within the walls of this Institution, faces which bear the traceB of the Inculcation of the principles of a pure and noble man hood, ihey cannot help hut believe that on Injustice Is being done 'to them in causing them to be exposed in after years to the finger of scorn and contempt for having been an In mate of the reform school. When one sees boys there who have spent five or six years within the walls of the Institution and are, yet not over 18 years of age, It Is hard to conceive that those lads of 8 and 10 years of age were In need of reforma tion, rather u mother's and father's care. It is true that boys are there of the more mature age of 17 and IS who were committed for the purpose of re formation alone, yet these should not be allowed to come In contact with tho younger element under nny circumstances. Superintendent Looney and Family Manager Stahlare keenly alive to this fact and suggest that the name of the Institution be changed to the "State Industrial School," or some thing of a like nature, and that the class who are committed for some sqj rlous offense and In need of reforma tion should be confined In some Inter mediate institution where the stigma of the penitentiary would not attach GENERAL NEWS.

Carrol of Mosler, in talking about the short crop of apples In the vicinity of that section said that he thought It was due somewhat to a noor quality of spray obtained In the season by the growcres there, says the Hood River Glacier. He snys that this spray did not seem to have the effect of that used earlier In the season. During the last three times the fruit was treated, worms appeared, and that If he had found the n on the blossom end or stem end he would have thought that It was rln to Improper" spraying. This, however. vna not the ense ns the worm holes were on the sides of the apples, where tho sprav was thickest, and he concludes that there could not have been enough arsenic In the fluid or that it was lacking In quality. Mr. Carrol said that he knew that this was an off year for apples, es pecially Spttzenbergs, but that he lost about 200 boxes of Baldwins by worms, which would otherwise have been a good crop.

Munson, who was In the city yester day, says a Lewlston dispatch, reports that the state Is preparing for a big sale of timber In Kootenai county, which will probably take place ai Rathdrum In February. Cruisers are estimating tho timber for the state now nnd their reports will soon be In, Most of the timber to be sold is near Sandpolnt, Idaho, and Newport. Wash "In some cases we shall sell the timber without the land, and In other cases the land and timber will all be sold together," said Mr. Munson, "The purchasers will be given either one or two years to remove the tim ber where the land Is not sold. The state board has adopted n policy not to grant any long periods for remov ing timber, as was done in the past. However, we must give long enough time so that the small dealers can compete nt the sale with the big syn dicates. Where only the timber Is sold the purchaser must not cut any trees a foot or less In diameter. This will all go back to the state and will make a forest for the next genera tlon."

The Idaho Fall Post says: John mmpKins, jr., 36 yonrs or age, was killed, supposedly accidentally, on the lava beds west of town, where the cedar wood Is gathered. With others ho was out to the "cedars" to get wood, and as 1b cus tomary with tho wood haulers they helped each other load the heavy pieces, and as each wagon was load ed the driver would pull out Slmpklns was found dead on top of his load. It also seems that short ly before the wood hauler getting tho two loads found the dead man, two other wood haulers had come upon Slmpklns nnd left with their wood when tho first man camo up. leaving the body In hlB care. The theory is advanced that Slmn klns met his death by falling from his load while driving over some of the huge humps on tho lava beds. It Is believed by the exponents of this theory that ho climbed ,back to the top of his load after having fallen off, and died there. The man Is very little disfigured, however, having on ly a contusion at the top of the fore hend, a deep bruise on his cheek bone, which Is probably broken, and some scratches on his chin. It Is likely that the skull was crushed where the mark Is on the forehead, and this was the cause of death. California Prune Wafers.
