Send this list to friends In the east and urge them to stop at Pendleton. Queer Timekeepers. To ascertain the time at night the Apacne Indians employ a gourd on hich the stars of the heavens are marked. As the constellations rise in the sky the Indian refers to his gourd and finds out the hour. By turning the gourd around he can toll the order in which the constellations may be ex pected to appear. The hill people of Assam reckon time and distance by the number of quids of betel nuts chewed. It will be remembered bow, according to Washington Irving, Gov ernor Wouter van Twiller dismissed the Dutch colonlnl assembly invaria bly at the lost pufT of his third piiie of tobacco. A Montagnls Indian of Can ada will set up a tail stick in the snow when traveling ahead of friends who are to follow.- He marks with his foot the Hue of shadow cast, and by the change in the angle of the shadow the oncoming party can tell on arriving at the spot about how far ahead the lender is. Doubtless the first time keeper was the Kt'innch, which noti fied its owner v. 'io-.i the hour for a meal arrived Hermiston, Sept. 21.

Jackson of Utica, Mont., ac companied by Mis. Jackson, visited Hermlston this week and made ar rangements regarding the clearing and cultivating of Mr. . Jackson's fruit land southwest of town. John Fritz Is arranging to clear and cultivate about 400 acres of land for which work he has contracted in anticipation of the coming of gov ernment water for next season's ir rigation. The land lies to the south west and west of Hermlston. Fine Honey. From 2S0 stands of bees R. E, Thom this year will harvest about six tons of honey. The honey I some of the finest In the world, and brings on the wholesale market 12 cents per pound. So great has the harvest been this year that Mr. Thorn, who Is usually pretty well posted on that sort of thing, failed to have su pe-s enough' for his hives, and one day discovered that his bees having filled their storehouses were "loaf ing." In order to make room for them to continue work he has already crated 125 cases of honey. Battles Decided by a Single 8hot There are certainly three Instances on record of a siege or battle having been decided by a single shot First in order of Importance was the shot-be lieved to have been fired by one of his own men which killed Charles XII. In the trenches of the fortress of Fried- rlchstoln, which immediately led to the raising of the second siege of Fried rlchsholl. This Is perhaps the most Im portant musket shot ever fired In the history of the world. Next comes tha discharge of tho mortar fired by Lord Cochrane during the defense of Port Trtniiiud in 18u8. This shot foiled a French surprlRe nnd saved the fortress. Lastly, there wna the single discharge) of grapeshot which saved the fortress and town of Haddington In 1548. The French invaders had actually forced their way into the outworks of tho cas tle when the one well directed shot croataJ such hnvoc In their densely packed ranks that there ensued an Im mediate panic, which ended In flight APPLES COMING OJf.

Dan P. Smythe, secretary of the State Woolgrowera' association, was here the latter part of last week for the purpose of urging the woolgrow- ers of Morrow county to attend the annual meeting, which will be held In The Dalles about . December 12 says the Heppner Times. He expects to get together at this meeting Glfford Plnchot chief of the forest service, and other members of that service to take up the sheep grazing question in national forests. He wants as many sheepmen as pos sible to attend this meeting and dis cuss all questions of Interest to sheep men in their relation to forest re serves. Mr. Smythe also expects Governor Chamberlain to call a public rands convention at the same time and Place. The object of the public lands meeting is to ascertain the aU tltude of government regarding the use of government lands outside of national forests by sheepmen. These questions are of vital inter est to the sheepmen of Morrow coun ty, hence the importance of the meet ing and the necessity of a liberal rep resentation or sneepmen from our county. Work on Carnegie Library. Cement blocks for the new $12,000 lernegle library on the corner of West Center and South Garfield are being made by workmen In a shed adjoining the foundation. The work Is progressing slowly, but Contractor Havener believes the building will be completed by the first of next year. rocaieuo Tribune. Tha Advantage of an Accident The small size of the propeller screw," says a noted shipbuilder, "Is not due to the perception of any in ventor of Its greater effect as com pared with a larger one, but purely to accldont. Many years ago screws for steamers were made as large as possi ble, It being the theory that the great er the diameter the higher the speed. A vessel was sent to sea with a screw so large that it was deemed best to cast each blade In two parts and then weld them together. During a storm aU three blades of the propeller broke at the welding, reducing the diameter by more than two-thirds. To the sur prise of the captain the vessel shot for ward at a speed such as bad never been attained before. Engineers then experimented with small propellers and discovered that they were much more effective than large ones. Had it not been . for that accident we might have gone on nslng Inrge bladed screws to the present day." Where Fogs Are Thickest "In going from Rome to Paris," said a young man, "I paid extra money to cross the St. Gothard, but that lofty Alpine pass was a disappointment. It was foggy, and I saw nothing of the Alps. Hard luck,' eh?" "Not at all," replied the globe trotter. "Nearly everybody finds the St Go thard wrapped in fog and mist The St Gothard, In fact Is the foggiest place In the world. London has 38 days of fog a year, Munich has 47, Hamburg has 52, Tegernsee, in the Bavarian Alps, has 134. Overtopping all of them comes the St. Gothard, with an annual average of 277 foggy days." ' The 8tarry Cross. The first order ever bestowed upon women was the order of the Starry Cross, founded in H568 by Eleanor, widow of Ferdinand III. of Austria, In thanksgiving for the saving of a por tion of the holy cross at a fire in the palace at Vienna. This order, which was confirmed the following year by the pope, Is divided into two classes, containing different Jewels, and la con ferred In recognition of distinguished virtues. It is worn on the left breast attached to a black ribbon. No Chinas Language. An English traveler says that "Chi nese language" is a misnomer. "There Is no such thing as a Chinese language any more than there Is a European Ian gauge. A Canton man cannot under stand an Amoy man, and I have seen two Chinamen sitting together with third one acting interpreter.' Pigeon English is the common tongue of com merce." . Her Idea of It "Is this the Stock Exchanger in quired the sweet young matron. t "Yes, madam." "Then I wish to exchange these se curities for some that will pay divi dends. These never have." Exchange. His Distinotion. A doctor forbidding a patient to drink alcoholic beverages, the patient replied, "But doctor, yon yourself drink alcohol." "Yes, my friend, but not as a doctor. When I do drink do so only as an ordinary man." The Poets. "Poets usually have sad lives," said the sentimentalist.

Because the north bank railroad Is appropriating his home for a part of its right-of-way, "Old Bones," a con splcuous Indian character, Is on the warputh and appeared In Rltzvllle with an appeal to the officials to have the "Great .White Chief ' at Washington command the interlopers to "clatawah." "Old Bones" has lived on the land, which Is in township 13 north, range 37, along the Snake river, about sev en miles below Texas rapids, for 60 years, and his fathers occupied the territory for generations ahead of him. The old warrior believes that the land belongs to him, and all ef forts to convince him otherwise were of no avail. With a handkerchief around his eyes, which are blind from age, wrapped in his blankets and attired In full Indlnn array, the old chief. In company with his daughter and young. grandson, sat In the registrar's office and told his troubles In Jafgon to Perry Lyons of Wnlla Walla, who In terpreted the conversation for the officials. According to "Old Bones," he and others of his tribe have lived on the land in the vicinity of Texas Texas rapids for so long a time that "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," and they never have been molested In their possessions. Some time ago an Indian agent was sent out from Washington to locate the claims of the natives, but no filings were made for the Indians, with the exception of "Old William," who fi nally secured title to his claim. Recently the north bank road has sent In gangs of laborers. The old burying ground of the tribes has been plowed up and sacred rights of the Indians disregarded. The right-of-way of the railroad runs directly through the home of "Old Bones," and he has been forced to vacate the wigwams so long inhabited by him self and his children and his fathers and their fathers. Having secured legal title to his land, "Old William" has been paid damages by the company, but the other members of the tribe have been unceremoniously riven from their old haunts and they cannot see any Jus tice In the actions of the white men. There Is no way to make them un derstand the subtle reasoning of the law, and they can only see the tetrnal Injustice of the proceedings. Argu ments were useless, explanations were In vain, the old fellow Insisting that the land was his; and It Is evident that he was ready, even at this late day, to put on his war paint and die for what he conceived to be his rights. The controversy will probably be submitted to the Indian commissioner for settlement MORROW COUNTY YIELD. Umatilla's Sister Connty Will Produce 2,000,000 Bushels. The Heppner Times says of the grain yield of Morrow county: Heppner 400,000 bushels Lexington 600,000 bushels lone and Jordan 800,000 bUBhels Douglas and Cecil. . .400,000 bushels From the most reliable sources it Is safe to estimate the grain crop of Morrow county at 2,000,000 bushels, and It is not improbable that It will exceed that amount. R. F. Hynd, secretary of The Morrow Warehouse Milling company, who is in a position to keep In close touch with the grain production of the county, thinks the above estimate a conservative one and that It is more liable to exceed than go below that amount.
