Echo. Jan. IS. Politics are becom
ing somewhat Interesting In Echo,
Zoe Houser. former sheriff of Uma
tilla county and former United States
marshal, and A. L. Esteb, who has
been the mayor of Echo for a fen
years past, are both prominently men
tioned as candidates for the legisla
ture. Registration books have been
placed with Postmaster John Dorn,
and It will no longer be necessary for
voters to go to Pendleton to register.
Indian Remains Found.
Men who are employed on the Fur
nish ditch, found the remains of an
Indian at a depth of 12 feet in tha
ground, at the Crane cut. a mile below
the intake of the ditch, Thursday. The
skull and bones were In a perfect
state of preservation, and It is believ
ed that he was a Umatilla Indian. A
number of Indian relics were buried
with him. among them being a toma
hawk which has 26 notches cut in It,
which shows that he must have been
rather a notorious Indian. Conditions
show that he had been burled for
years.
Revise Good Lands.
Acres of land south and west of
Echo, which was once In cultivation,
and which was abandoned by the old
settlei3 In '94, when the wheat went
down to 25 cents per bushel, on ac
count of the hard times throughout
the country, Is being filed on again
on account of the wonderful coming
out of the country. J. R. Oliver, de
ceased, and other pioneers state that
as high as 85 bushels of wheat was
raised on this land.
Different parties now have as high
as 300 or 400 acres of this land which
will be put under cultivation this
spring. The land lies about five miles
south and west of Echo, and extends
from 15 to 25 miles. A portion of It
was under the old survey of the John
Day project, and Is very productive.
In Smaller Tracts.
Some of the large land owners in;
the vicinity of Echo are beginning to
realize that diversified farming will
do much to develop this section of the
country- In one tract there is 3500
acres which will be cut Into 20 and
40-acre tracts, within five miles of
this city which Is adapted to fruit
raising and small farming. It is
known as the Meadows, and is all
under Irrigation. G. W. Hunt, of
Portland, owns this land, and says
that he Intends carrying out the idea
of small farming shortly. This Is be
ing contemplated by many of the
large land owners In this section.
A tralnload ol 17 cars of cattle.
which were being shipped from Utah
and Boise to Seattle, were held over
here 24 hours a few days ago for
feeding. It Is very seldom that cattle
are shipped from as far east as Utah
to the Seattle markets.
Arrangements are being made for
the erection of a new school house at
Pine City out In the Butter Creek
country. Rev. Hosklns, of Echo, do
nated the land on which to erect this
building.
Maxwell Comitany Signs Up.
H. T. Irvln, president of the Uma
tilla Water Users' association, has re
turned from a business trip to Port
land. He states that there are now
18,000 acres signed up, including the
Maxwell company's land. The Max
well company have signed up their
land with the government, amounting
In all to between 8000 and 9000 acres.
through a trustee agreeing to dispose
of all this land In 40-acre tracts.
Farmers in the Butter creek district
are busily engaged Irrigating, as But
ter creek has raised considerable on
account of the recent rain and heavy
snows.
Postmaster John Dorn Is moving his
residence to a lot one block back from
the present site to face on Buckley
street. He is moving the residence
on account of erecting a handsome
brick business house In Its place, to
be occupied by hln for a postoffice
and drug store.
Louis Seholl, Jr., has recently
mounted three species of eagles
caught In this vicinity. They are the
bald, the golden and the gray eagles,
the bald eagle being the most rare
of the three birds. He also has a
white owl In his collection.
Hose Carts Completed.
Two hose carts for the Echo fire
department have been completed,
weighing 200 pounds each, and they
are painted red and black, and the
hose has been wound around them.
All Is now In readiness for the first
fire.
The new buildings wnlclt are being
put up are rapidly n earing comple
tion. Fort Henrietta Camp, Woodmen of

will be run back to Pendleton at 12

ONCE INDIAN, ALWAYS INDIAN.
Commissioner Ixiipp Says Much Edu
cation Is Wasted on Rrdmcn.
The Indian should be an Indian and
nothing more.
So says Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs Francis E. Leupp In his annual
report. He does not believe the In
dian should be educated for higher
professions In the great colleges of
the country to the neglect of. his sound
and practical learning.
His report Is. beyond any doubt, the
most Interesting one ever received
from the Indian office.
"The made-over Indian," he says,
"Is bound to be like the Navajo blan
ket, from which all the Navajo has
been expurgated neither one thing
nor the other. I like the Indian for
what Is Indian In him. I want him
to retain all his old contempt for
hunger, hirst, cold and danger when
he has anything to do. I love the
spirit of manly Independence which
moved a copper-colored sage once
to beg that I would Intercede a pro
posal with the Great Father and
throttle a proposal to send rations to
his people, because It would pauperize
their young men and make them
slaves to the whites."
Mr. Leupp declares that the com
mon mistake of white men dealing
with Indians is that they proceed
upon the Idea that the redman Is
merely a white man with a dusky
skin. Another mistake Is to class
the Indian with the colored man.
Since he became Indian commis
sioner Mr. Leupp has appointed In
several of the schools a teacher who
supervises the study of native music.
The duties of this teacher are to lead
the Indian back to the sublime and
patriotic thoughts of his forefathers.
"The Indian Is a natural warrior.
a natural logician, a natural artist,"
says the report. "We have room for
all three In our highly organized so
cial system. Let us not make the
mistake, in the process of absorbing
them, of washing out of them what
ever Is distinctly Indian. Our aborig
inal brother brings, as his contribu
tion to the common store of charac
ter, a great deal which Is admirable
and which needs only to be developed
along the right line. Our proper
work with him Is Improvement, not
transformation."
FURNITURE MEN UNITE.
Meeting at Salem Results In State As
sociation. The Salem Statesman says of the
recent meeting of furniture men,
which M. A. Rader of this city, at
tended: Forty-seven of the prominent retail
furniture dealers from all parts of
the state were In the city yesterday,
holding a convention. The result Is
an organization known as the Oregon
Retail Furniture Dealers' association.
The purpose of the organization is to
protect and promote the welfare and
interests of the members, by estab
lishing more intimate relations with
each other and to secure a better un
derstanding between the manufactur
ers. Jobbers and dealers.
Many Important subjects were dis
cussed, and the organization was com
pleted by the election of the follow
ing officers: President, D. H. James,
Salem: first vice-president, E. P. Voo-
ruz. Baker City; second vice-president,
M. Ostraw. Portland; secretary,
F. F. Freeman, Portland; treasurer,
J. P. Dodge, Ashland.
WEED RUINS ALFALFA.
Kansas Man says Farms Are Aban
doned Because of Russian Thistle.
A. C. Caldum from Kansas, who re
cently purchased a home In the Wal
la Walla valley, wants to warn alfalfa
growers to be on the lookout for Rus
sian thistle In their alfalfa.
Mr. Caldum says there Is quite a
good deal of the obnoxious weed in
his young alfalfa. He is of the opin
ion that other alfalfa growers in this
district who procured their seed from
the same source have the thistle In
their alfalfa and do not know the
danger of it.
The Russian thistle Is the most
dangerous enemy of alfalfa known. It
the thistle once gets headway In the
district It will be hard work to stamp
It out, he says.
Alfalfa growers from Nebraska and
Colorado state that some ranches
there have been abandoned because
the Russian thistle has taken posses
sion of the entire ranches.

TO ANSWER FOR OLD CRIMES.
A. B. Trlllwood Is Taken In Custody
on His Release From Prison.
As Newton Richie, alias A. B Trill
wood, turned to leave the penitentiary
this morning, a free man, after hav
ing completed a 10-year sentence, he
was greeted by the sheriff of Klam
ath county, and once more placed un
der arrest, says the Salem Journal.
The feeble old man was almost over
come for a time, but soon regained
his composure.
The crime for .which he has Just
served the sentence was the shooting
of a rancher named Adams In Klam
ath county, and there Is now hanging
over him an Indictment for shooting
Adams' little boy, and also one for
shooting at Mrs. Adams.
Richie, who Is a well educated
man, has anarchistic tendencies, and
has been confined In three Insane asy
lums, having come to Oregon, after
having escaped from the third one In
Illinois. In 1898 he appeared at the
Adams ranch, Just before hay har
vest, and asked for work. He was al
lowed to do chores around the house
for a few days, and when harvest
commenced was put to work In the
field.
He proved to be a nuisance, Instead
of a help, and, after two or three
days, whs discharged by the foreman,
and old to go to the house and get
his pay. In settling up a difference
of J1.60 was found to exist between
the accounts kept by the two men,
and while discussing this, Richie
pulled a revolver and shot Adams In
the shoulder.
He then turned and shot the little
boy who was playing on the porch,
the bullet striking the boy In the
back, and next took a couple of shots
at Mrs. Adams, who had run out of
the house. Neither of the victims
died, but the boy was seriously In
jured, the bullet having been re
moved from Its location, by the side
of the spinal cord, by San Francisco
surgeons.
At the trial Richie stated that he
had a right to shoot Adams, because
he would not pay him the money. He
has been a model prisoner while at
the penitentiary, and his arrest Is only
a matter of protection to the Adams
family, as it Is thought that he would
lose no time In getting back there to
kill them.
In fact he signified his intention of

WHAT is r
Advertising?
A business force that within the last 15 years
has developed into a science. A a legitimate
and honorable way, if judiciously and properly
pursued, of keeping oneself pleasantly in the
minds of the public, to the benefit of both the
advertiser and the public.
It is a science as sure as political economy
is a science. It's development depends upon art
as certainly as that of any other science.
Advertising is the greatest force in business
today. Advertising matter, if properly pre
pared, is sure to be read is sure to influence
the reader. The public looks with ever in
crersing respect and interest on the man who
advertises well.

going back there, and the only thing
that he asked for when getting his
things together, preparatory to leav
ing, was a memorandum book In
which he kept a record of his account
with Adams. There is no doubt In
the minds of the penitentiary officials
that he is Insane, and It Is probable
that he will be returned to the asy
lum instead of the penitentiary.
STOCKMAN FROZEN TO DEATH.
Story of Awful Struggle and Gradual
Freezing.
A Cassia county stockman named
Brackenbury, was frozen to death In
the Cassia county mountains last Fri
day, says the Boise Capital News. He
had been gathering cattle from the
range and left Oakley to go over the
mountains to his home near Alamo.
He did not reach his destination and
a searching party was sent out to
find him. He was found lying near
the trail In the snow, only four or
five miles from home.
He started out on horseback, but

weather to manifest themselves. Winter Eczema sleeps in the system through
the long hot months, and gives no sign of iU presence; but at the coming of
Winter the trouble asserts itself and it becomes one of the most painful and
distressing of all skin diseases. The blood is filled with poisonous acids
which seem to be excited by the cold; and as these are thrown off through
the pores and glands, the skin cracks and bleeds, the flesh becomes hot and
feverish and the itching intense. The natural oils which keep the skin soft
and pliant are dried up by the cold, bleak winds, causing it to become hard
and dry, giving it that shiny, leathery appearance, characteristic of the disease.
The head, face, hands and feet are the usual points of attack, though other
parts of the body may be affected. So painful and distressing is the trouble
that the sufferer constantly " doctors ' and treats it trying to get relief.
Soothing washes, medicated ointments and salves are used, but aside froni
giving temporary relief they do no good. The cause is poisonous acids in
the blood, and these must be removed before a cure can be effected. The only
cure for Winter Eczema is S. S. S., the greatest of all blood purifiers. It

the blinding snow, driven by a fierce
wind, made the trip so cold the horse
was abandoned. At a cabin on the
trail, some seven miles from his des
tination, the unfortunate man stop
ped, built a fire and warmed himself.
He took off his undershirt, cut It In
two, and after cutting his shoes from
his feet, which evidently were frozen
solid at the time, he took the pieces
of undershirt and wrapped up his
feet. Ho then started out to make
