Yesterday the demonstration train
covered the portion of the county be
tween Milton and Pendleton and the
meetings were the most successful of
any along the line, according to those
who were In the party.
On leaving here yesterday morning
the train ran direct to Milton and
there the train waa greeted by what
was perhaps the largest and most ap
preciative crowd of the Itinerary. At
the conclusion of the meeting Mrs,
8. 8. Shields moved that a vote of
thanks be tendered the members of
the party and when that had been
carried three rousing cheers were giv
en. At Weston a crowd of 825 was out;
at Athena about 176 were present,
while at Adams In the neighborhood
of 100 attended. In all the stops yes
terday the listeners were almost en
tirely farmers and they showed by
their attitudes that they are Interested
In the subject.
Aside from the agricultural college
men several of the railroaders. also

For DenionHiratton Farm.
At the meeting held In the Com
mercial association rooms Wednesday
evening the subject of an experimen
tal or demononstration farm for this
county was often mentioned by local
people as well as by members of the
party.
That such a farm should be estab
lished at once Is strongly urged by
business men for they want to see
the Ideas of the agricultural college
men put Into practical use.
While here Dr. Wlthycombe, head
of the agricultural college party, sug
gested that Umntillu county people
seek to have the legislature puns an
act providing for a branch farm here,
the same to be run In connection with
the experimental station at Corvallls.
By such a course the O. A. C. men
would have an opportunity to demon
strate their teachings with practical
Illustrations nnd they would certainly
do tholr utmost to moke the branch
station fulfill Its mission.
In his address Wednesday, R. B.
Miller, general freight agent, also In
timated that the railroad company
might take up the mutter of an ex
perlmental farm. So If state aid can
not be secured the O. R. & N. com

O'Day and four years by Judge Bro
naugh, the term of sentence of the
latter not to begin until that Impos
ed by the former has terminated.
In other ways, from a legal stand
point, the case was out of the ordina
ry. The defendant was charged with
two statutory offenses, being prose
cuted by Deputy District Attorney H.
B. Adams. The first charge was pros
ecuted before Judge O'Day, and went
to the Jury about 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Before the Jury had
brought In Its verdict of guilty, which
was between 5 and 10 minutes later,
the defendant was taken Into Judge
Eronaugh's department.
The lmpannellng of the second Jury
began about two minutes before the
verdict was reached by the first and
tho process of securing the second
Jury was Interrupted long enough to
take Conley back to Judge O'Day's
department and hear himself pro
nounced guilty. Then the Impaneling
of the second Jury was continued and
the case tried and submitted.
This morning the second Jury was
Instructed and retired to deliberate on
the case. It was out of the court room
only 15 minutes, returning with a ver
dict of guilty. The defendant an
nounced that he was ready for sen
tence. Judge O'Day was thereupon sum
moned and took his seat on the bench
beside Judge Bronaugh. As soon as
Judge O'Day had pronounced the sen
tence of four years Judge Bronaugh
took up the second case and Imposed
a similar sentence, specifying that ser
vice should begin when the term of
the former sentence expired, making
the two sentences amount really to
eight years' Imprisonment. Judge
O'Day remained beside Judge Bro
naugh on the bench until the second
sentence had been pronounced.

Ever Seen In Pendleton Is Prop
erty of Frank Neugebaner of The
Dime Of Louis XIII Style and More
Than Century Old.
In the corner window at Rader's
furniture store Is now displayed a bed
room set that Is probably one of the
most antique and elaborate in the
country. It is' the property of Frank
N'eugebauer, proprietor of the Dime,
and Is 108 years old. At the time It
was made it cost J3000 in France and
because of its antiquity the furniture
ic now even more valuable.
The set Is of the late Louis-XIII
style and the bedstead is of mammoth
Ize and most elaborately hand carv
ed. The same Is true of the other
wo nieces In the set and Mr. Neuge-
bauer may be readily believed when
he says that It required the .time or
three men for a year to make the set.
According to Mr. Xeugebauer the
furniture set was acquired by his
father 80 years ago and after he had
held it for a period of 50 years tne
son became the owner. Mr. Xeuge
bauer himself brought the set from
France to this country.

Memorial day celebrated In this city

members of the G. A. R and If they
sanction the change the people of the

fitting manner than usual.
Objection Is raised to Saturday, May
30 for decoration day because Satur

HIIII0U
Name ofu igham Springs
Summer Resort Has Been
Changed.
FAMOUS RESORT WILL
HAVE NEW TITLE"
J. A. Borte, New Proprietor of the
Blue Mountain Resort, Decided to
Change Name Wenaha Is Nea
Perce Word and Is the Name of the
Forest Reserve in Which Spring
Are Located Name of Railroad
Station Will Also Be Clianged.
I The name of Bingham Springs, the
famous summer resort and sanitarium
30 miles east of this city In the Blue
mountains, has just been changed to
I that of Wenaha Springs, by J. A. Borle
the new proprietor, and hereafter all
' the literature and advertising matter -
from the springs will bear the name
!of Wenaha Springs.
I Bingham Springs were named for '
Dr. J. E. Bingham of Walla Walla, .
who located the place and estab-.
llshed the resort there and for the
past quarter of a century the resort
has been' known by that name.
I However, desiring to give the place
,a name which would have more of a
local significance and a more unique
! association, Mr. Borle has decided to
' name the resort Wenaha Springs, to
'correspond with the Wenaha reserve
In which the resort is located and by
which the entire blue mountain sec
tion la coming to be known.
Meaning of Wenaha.
Wen&ha Is a Ner Perce word and'
means "a. nlaca lust - beroad. over
'there, or & little further on," and Is
pronounced Wee-nah-hah, with the
'accent on the second syllable. -
The name was given to Wenaha
river in the Blue mountains by the
Xez Perce Indians, whose home and
summer camping ground from time
Immemorial was the Wallowa valley.
While camping in the Wallowa valley
they discovered the beautiful Wenaha
' river, and according to the Indian cus
tom gave the river a name corres--pondlng
to its location, "a place Just
over the hill, just beyond, over'there,'
and so this name clung to the stream
and has been applied by the govern
ment to the forest reserve of the Blue
mountains.
Mr. Borle's friends In this city are
delighted with the change and believe
that the new name Is highly appro-
prlate and will soon become even bet- -tor
known than that of Bingham
Springs.
The Wenaha forest reserve Is well '
known and that name Is a part of the
government record and Ic is believed
that the selection of this name for
Bingham Springs will add much to the
Interest of the famous resort.
The O. R. & N. company has assur
ed Mr. Borle that the name of Bing
ham Springs station would also be
changedto that of Wenaha if he re
quests It and It Is probable that this
will be done. '
