Royal M. Sawtelle Jeweler As wns predicted last evening, the county court has Tleclded In favor rrt steel bridges to replace those washed out on Wild Horse near Athena during the flood. Testerdoy afternoon a contract was made between the coun ty court and Ebernart & Co., of Walla Walla, whereby the two steel bridges are to be built for-the sum of $2500.. Each bridge has a "70-foot span, and the bridge Is guaranteed to uphold n ton for every foot of length. The , work Is to be done by September 1, rbut the contractors say they will be I through much sooner than that dntc. I Aside from the bid upon steel bridges one was also received for wooden material .The price being $2300 for the two bridges. As the difference In the price between steel -and wood was slight, the court decid ed In favor of the better material. The bridges to be replaced are the Keating and the Prank Mansfield bridges, one being above and the other below Athena. On next Monday a contract will be let for the erection of a steel bridge across the Umatilla above Pendleton to replace the wooden bridge partly washed away during the flood. Bids have been asked for a bridge at that plaoe, and also for' one at Echo. How ever. County Judge Gllllland said this a ! morning that the court -would defer action on the Echo bridge for a time yet. It will cost about $-6000 to re place the bridge there and do the fill ing and rlprapping desired by resi dents of -the vicinity. As much of the work will be of private benefit, the court believes that owners of adjoin ing lands should help bear the ex pense. and -this they have agreed to do. In order to accommodate the -travel across the river above the city -while the new bridge Is being placed, the court has declrled to erect a small temporary bridge across the river at the ford. Work on the same was com monced today, and when completed, farmers coming to town from that direction will not have to ford, as at present. Summer Normal Pleases Umatilla County Tenrbera.

A private message received from Stockton this morning, says that Vic toria Island, in which a number of Pendleton people are Interested, is safe, although the flood Is destroying property all along the river and has Inundated Union island and other Islands In that vicinity. It is hoped that the levee around Victoria island will withstand the high water. The Island Is covered with excellent crops and gardens, and is one of the most valuable tracts In that part of Call fornla.

How Mexicans Have Secured Curious Effects In Wood Coloring. Some owners of forests of valuable woods are trying experiments In the southern part of Mexico with the wal nut trees. It Is not generally known outside the trade that there are many Minis of walnut woods and that only part of them have so far been con sidered valuable from a commercial point of view. Now the scheme Is to maho llicte more valuable, and the proaess Is a curious one. It consists of opening the roots of the twiss and Insetting one or more nuts, which are quite small, from the best varieties of walnut trees. It Is said that these nuts, which are care fully waled In with wax or a stiff, waterjroof stopper. Impart a new or closer grain and coloring to the tree. The Southern Indians of Mexico have for centuries 'been In the habit of securing curious effects In coloring on fine woods by inserting In the above manner nuts of other trees Into the roots of the living tree. An enter prising planter In Tabasco has been following out this Indian Idea with curious results. He mentioned this to other haciemlados, and now several of them are experimenting with the coarser kinds of -walnut trees with en couraging results. It Is said there has never been such demand tor hay before as there Is this rummer, and It rs very seldom that hay Is as scarce In Pendleton as It 1 today. The unusual amount ot summer fal lowing being done, the heavy livery business tnfl other causes have made the hay market very active and It Is almost Impossible to get hay In any quantities. TVew hay Is beginning to mile In slowly, however, and soon there will be an ample supply for all d-'triands. Haled hay Is now selling at 1 cent per pound, $20 per ton, and the qu Ity ef the hay which the -dealers i now compelled to take Is not flrst cliss. But It Is all they can get. New hay, wheat, alfalfa and mixed hay, Is worth from $13 to $15 per ton with a prospect of It dropping to $12 as soon as the supply Increases slightly. It is said that the more thorough cultivation of the wheat land, the more freqnent .harrowing and weed Ing Is the cause of the brisk demand for hay. Formerly many farmers never touched their wheat land after the summer fallow plowing. Now It Is worked over for the purpose of killing the weeds and also to more thoroughly cultivate It, from three to five times each year. This keeps a large number of horses employed dur ing the entire summer season and con sumes much more feed than under the former methods of farming. DEEP FLOWING PAYS.

Repwts from the HeWx and Athena districts say that the -wheat which Is now growing on land plowed from seven to eight Inches deep Is standing the hot weather much better and will he Injured less than that on land plowed from thre to five Inches In depth. A majority of the farmers In the Helix district are now plowing deep er each year and cultivating their land more and more each year, thus giving greater fertility to the soil and mr-klntr the wheat stronger to resist drought and hot weather. This hot spell has been a severe test en the methods of farming employed and It Is current knowledge that the crops where deep plowing has been practiced look better today and will suffer less loss from Improperly filled grain than those where deep plowing hos not been practiced. Hereafter It Is safe to say that more detp plowing will be done, after this practical object lesson. It Is said, that the land cannot be cultivated too much on the summer fallow year. Many farmers now keep the teams at work during the entire summer sea son cultivating rnd harrowing the land lo keep it well pulverized and to kill ojt the weeds. That this method ays Is now. seen in the crops '.vliloh have withstood the extremely hot weather without perceptible loss. STOP GUESSING! Your eyes are either perfect or poor.

REPORTS OX THE ItlVKIt. New Machinery Will Givo Wallers' Mill a Cupaclty of 500 Bum-Is Per Day. Fred Walters now has a crew of men at work removing the gravel which filled the upper end of his mill race during the high water. As the Walters' mill has been run ning for some time owing to the In stallation of new machinery, the race was allowed to remain as It was, until the present. As soon as the new ma chinery Is all In position the mill will resume operations with a capacity of 600 barrels per day. Portland Chamber of Cominrrt-e Re views the Work. The transportation 'committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce gives a comprehensive review of the work on the Celllo ship canal and the work of removing obstructions from the Columbia river, as follows: The amount of money now on hand and available. Including the $300,- 000 to be provided for in the sundry civil bill, is $435,000. There is out standing ugalnst this amount $14,000. and the amount required to complete contracts now In force, which is ap proximately $284,000. The contract for the removal of the obstructions at Three Mile rapids will require another low water season, and It Is hoped the work will be fin ished about next December. The contract for the basin and lock at the Celllo end of the canal stipu lates for Its completion by January 1, 1907, but It is probable that It will take several months more to do the work. With annual appropriations of $500,000, it will require eight or 10 years to complete the work, but If the whole amount of the estimated cost were available, the work could be completed In about three years. From the foregoing facts, one Is about as well qualified as another to predict the date of completion. If vc cease working for appropriations for this purpose, its completion will be delayed Indefinitely. We believe that when the people generally realize the comparatively small amounts ap propriated for river and harbor Im provtimcnU, and the great waste and loss, both direct and Indirect, caused by delay, they will demand that ap propriations be made In sufficient amounts to properly care for and complete all approved projects. There Is no reason why this should not be done. There Is no purpose for which money Is expended by the United States that does so much good to such a large number of people. The United States has taken Jurisdic tion over the navigable waters and harbors and It Is In duty bound to Improve them. Superintendent Cook Says Fall Traf fic Will Be Heavy. The Celllo portage railroad will be In shape to handle the grain crop of the Inlund empire this fall. This an nouncement was made by Superin tendent Cook In a report just filed with the board of portage railroad commissioners at Salem. Superintendent Cook reports crop prospects first-class for this season, but says that the catches of salmon have been light to the close of the month. The Taffe fish wheels, Mr. Cook says, are only catching four and five tons per day, but Seufert Bros.' wheels are making catches of from five to six tons per day. The Open River Transportation as sociation," says the report, "Is making preparations for moving the fail grain. and has purchased the steamer Co lumbia, which will be put in repair and placed In commission at an early date. The association ulso contem plates buying one or two more boats to operate below Celllo and Is arrang- ng to build another boat for the up per river. The Oregon Trunk line, the new road up the Des Chutes, has completed three different surveys for a connec tion with the portage, and in cstab- Ishlng camps and getting ready to do considerable amount of work. Two important features of the re- KI1ED THEIR MOUSTACHES. AVILL RESUME MYRICK. Not Discontinued Because of Lack of Postal Business. After having been out of business for several months the postofflce at Myrlck Is to be resumed again. To day W. E. Love qualified for the post mastership by making the necessary affidavit before County Clerk Baling and forwarding his bond to the de partment at Washington. Annie Love also qualified as assistant postmaster. When the office was discontinued at Myrlck the action was not taken because the volume of business failed to Justify the office, but Instead was the result of a controversy among the patrons of the office. W. E. Love, the new postmaster, Is also the agent of the Puget Sound Warehouse company at Myrlck. Mrs. Cora Cooper, who has zcen qulto ill, has recovered sufficiently to reume charge of the St. George restaurant. Hot Weather Drives Several to Part With Fuclnl Ornaments. Since the advent of the hot weather several well known business men of this city have parted with their mous taches, thereby hoping to keep cool during old Sol's busy season. Among those who are now conspicuous through the absence of their former sources of pride are Dr. C. J. Smith, Dr. E. A. Vaughan, Assessor C. P, Strain and J. T. Lamblrth. It Is un derstood that this group will be still further added to In case the thermom eter passes the 110 mark. Stealing American Brand. Considerable Interest Is being evinced In Australia In regard to the alleged bagging of Australian flour under Aemrlcan brands In China. The Melbourne merchants have been advised that the authorities In China are striving to arrest the alleged prac tice and that there Is at present a case In which, It Is said, several Chinese were captured In the act of transfer ring flour from one set of bags to another, but according to them the flour they were branding was all American, and that, as the authorities were unable to connect Australian flour with the matter, it was possible that the prosecution would not con tlnue. The merchants at Melbourne have also been assured that every care will be taken to prevent the frauds complained of from taking place In future. Horace Stlllman came down last nluht from the Oold Coin mine at port were the description of the traglo death of James Mellne nnd Peter Soce, who were swept over the falls by the breaking of an oar June 23, and the narrow escape of the small steamer Mildred, which operates on the upper Columbia between Celllo and Lewis ton, Idaho, In connection with the portage railway, und which was also swept over the falls last week with the entire crew on board. NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT. Hcrmlstoii Will Ho Numbered 11 Tlino Limit Today for Reports. The new Hermlston school district will be known as No. 14. This num ber was formerly used by a district in the mountains near Weston. Not long ago the district wus consolidated with an adjoining one, and so the number 14 was left vacant. ; This Is the last day upon) which dis trict school clerks may file their an nual reports with the county super intendent. While some reports have not yet been received, Superintendent Welles believes they have, been mailed and will arrive shortly. Employes of the Spokane city sewer department filed a petition yesterday to have their wages Increased from $2.60 to $3 a day on the ground that the work is dlsagreeahle and Is worth more than $2.60 a day.
