gone Tills Summer.
For several days past the Warren
Construction company has been en
gaged In shipping Its paving plant
away from .this city. The machinery
Is being sent to Eugene for use there

But while the paving plant Is be

It be needed.

The home of the styllshihat.
To have 40 acres of land under the
east Umatilla project set aside for
an experiment station Is the object
of a. movement that Is now on, and
which the promoters hope will prove
successful. The matter Is now before
the department of agriculture and it
will soon be known whether or not the
request for the station will be grant
ed.
There has long been a sentiment in
favor of an experiment station In the
Irrigated sections of this county and
at the Instance of Hermiston people
Senator C. J. Smith has been busy
In the matter for some time. At his
request Senator Bourne recently took
the matter up with the department of
agriculture and a reply Is now being
awaited. Also, Dr. James Wltny
combe, director of the Oregon expert
ment station at Corvallls, Governor
Chamberlain and the other members
of the Oregon congressional delegation
have been enlisted in the movement.
There la a great need of an ex
perlmental station under the east
Umatilla project, for the reason that
there Is probably no other Irrigated
section In the country with the same
altitude and climatic conditions,
said Dr. Smith in speaking upon the
subject this morning. "The Klamath
nrolect Is much higher, the Twin Falls
country Is much higher, and at all of
the projects In the southwest the alt
tude Is greater than at Hermiston
Then. In the sections where the eie
vation Is nearly the same, the winds,
soil and other features differ to sucn
an extent that the experience of farm'
ers In those places will not apply to
land under the east Umatilla project,
It would be especially valuable to
have a good experiment station near
Hermiston during the time the urn
few years the land is cultivated, for
otherwise the settlers will have to
guess at the best methods to pursue,

AVE DRGHARD All
ROMANCE IN THE 8TEUN-
EN HER G MURDER
Waitress Who Was Loved by Harry
Orcluu-d Tohl of Ills Strange Ac
tional Search of His Room 1cd to
His Arrest First Plan Was to
Shoot Steunenberg Through a
Window.
Although he Is considered a hard
ened criminal and Is generally be
lieved to be guilty of the murder of
Frank Steunenberg, Harry Orchard
yet found a place In his heart for
love romance, and this was his un
doing.
The following story of his capture
through the Information given by his
weetheart is sent out from Boise by
the Scrlpps News association. The
dispatch says:
One of the principal witnesses for
the prosecution in the trial of W. D
Haywood will be Miss Lizzie Velberg,
waitress at the Saratoga hotel at
Caldwell, to whom Harry Orchard
had been making love while plan
ing the assassination of Steunenberg
and whose affections had been won.
Orchard took a rifle to Caldwell.
Almost dally he took the rlflo and ac
companied by the waitress went out
for practice, as he said. In this way,
especially on account of being ac
companied by the girl, he evaded
suspicion on account of carrying a
rifle so often. The girl herself says
that sh. had no suspicion that Or
chard' contemplated crime.
The plan to shoot Steunenberg
through a window was finally aban
doned because Orchard feared he
might kill the wife or some other
member of the family, according to
the prosecution's evidence.
Orchard Is said always to have
conducted himself as a gentleman to
ward Miss Vllberg. He was unusual
ly genial and good natured. A few
days before the murder he grew
gloomy and morose and said to his
sweetheart;
You think me a good fellow, but
I am not. Some time you may learn
what a vllllan and scoundrel I really
am and despise me for all time."
The girl thought his despondent
manner and sad words due to an at
tack of melancholia and laughed and
teased him. When she heard of
Steunenberg's murder the words of
her sweetheart came to her mind and
an Icy chill struck her heart.
Half an hour after the murder Or
chard came Into the dining room at
thn hotel for his supper. He was
pale and trembling and kept his
eyes on his plate. The girl was so
nervous and agitated she was unable
to speak. Not a word was said by
Orchard except in ordering dishes.
He ate little and quickly left the
dinning room.
The girl went to her room early,
and getting down on her knees, beg
ged God to point out the proper
course for her to pursue. She spent
almost the whole night praying. She
slept not a wink and by daylight was
almost exhausted physically by her
fearful mental struggle.
But she made her decision. With
breaking heart she went to Joseph
Hutchinson, former lieutenant gover
nor, and Andy Johnson, a Boise de
tectlve, and told them she believed
the man she loved was the murderer
of Steunenberg, end advised them to
earch his room.
A key was procured from the Jap
anese chambermaid and the room
searched. Bombs, powder, fuse and
other Incriminating evidence was
discovered and Orchard was at onoe
placed under arrest.

MILTON PEACHES GOOD.
Favorable Estimate by Walla Walla
Man.
Charles Worth, a real estate deal
er of this elty, returning today from
a trip to Milton and other points In
that teotlon said that the peach crop
this year will be 60 per eent better
than last year, when a good crop
was gathered, say the Walla Walla
Bulletin. The frost that was thought
at first to have done so much dam
age, In reality has done but little, and
the orchardmen are very enthusiastic
over the crop, which will be enor
mous unless there Is some unforeseen
setback.
'Strawberries are plentiful," Mr.
Worth stated, "and those who are
engaged In the business of raising
this fruit say that they wlU get big
returns from their patches. Every
thing Hike good In the section of
country south of Walla Walla, and
none of the orchards will be failures.
The scare at the time of the frost
proves to be unfounded by the actual
showing.
"I found that all the fruitgrowers
feel that tho frost was a good thing
in more ways than one. The prin
cipal benefit seems to have been the
thinning out of the blossoms, which
cthcrwlse would have bad to have
been done by hand.
"The peach trees are In fine shape
and a very conservative estimate Is a
60 per cent larger crop than last'
season."
Is now In store for the eld Thomp
son street M. E. church. After June
I the church will be abandoned by
the present congregation for the
handsome new building at the cor
