Walla Walla, Wash, May 14. To
save $-10,000 in wages and at the same
time control to some extent the dust
which troubles travelers, Is the plan
of General Superintendent Buckley of
the O. R. & N., who this year proposes
to allow weeds to grow along the
tracks wherever it Is poslble. Instead
of keeping the track clear of weeds
by cutting them with shovels, the sec-
tion men are instructed to allow them
to grow, keeping them trimmed close
to the rails that they may not come In
contact with the wheels of cars and
cause trouble.
It Is estimated that the company
spends $40,000 each year in cutting
weeds, and, Incidentally,' keeping the
soli worked so that winds catch the
dust, and during hot weather enough
of It Is carried along the rapidly-moving
trains to almost strangle the pas
sengers. Wherever weeds have been
allowed to grow dust has never troubl
ed, and this fact has caused Mr. Buck
ley to try the experiment of allowing
weeds and grass to cover the ties,
especially the soil at the ends of the
ties outside the rails.
. The company Is now figuring on
sowing a short, thick grass on the line
to form a mass of roots to prevent the
dust from raising. It is said .that
some heavy, short grass can be grown
for this purpose with splendid results,
and even where the track has to be
worked a great deal the grass wll soon
t.ike root again raid cover the surface
so that dust will not raise by the suc
tion of passing trains.
Roadbed treatment with oil gives
splendid satisfaction after the oil set
tles, but the dust picked up by trains
before the oil disappears In the soil
has a tendency to stain clothing as If
touched with fresh grease, and con
siderable complaint always follows the
use of oil on this acount.
THE BEES AND THE PROVES.
An Economic Fnble on tlic Social

New York City, May 15. (To the
Editor of the East Oregonlan.) And
(drones) owned all the fields and
flowers and had fine wire screens
It came to pass that the male bees
placed over them with large easily
read signs prominently displayed
warning the busy bees to keep off the
fields and flowers. Others read "No
trespassing allowed under penalty of
the law," still others read. "This Is
private property, beware of the dog."
etc.
In addition the drones hired giant
hornets with long sharp stingers and
fed them well to see that the laws
were enforced. As a result the busy
bees were Idle, discontented and hun
gry and unhappy. So they held meet
ings and swarmed Into the public
squares and passed resolutions and ap
pointed committees to call on the
drones and demand that the screens bo
removed and that they be alowed to
gather honey from the fields and
flowers.
Put the drones preached to them
and told them that the reason they
were poor and hungry was because
they were too fond of the Juice of the
poppy-corn flower, and that they had

IS COLl'MMA MINE SOLD?

Slay lie. Itejiivenntoxl.
It Is rumored In Sumpter today that
the Columbia mine, one of the old
stand-by producers of the Sumpter
district, is to have new ownership,
says the Raker City Herald.
While there Is nothing definite giv
en out It is understood that New York
parties have had mining engineers and
experts on the property at different
times within the past few months
making reports on conditions of the
mine, grade of the ores, and possible
Improvements.
Charles Lelbensteln. according to
the rumor, Is the man who is making
the deal and If this be true there Is
some reason to believe that there may
be a foundation for the rumor, as Mr.
Lelbensteln has In the past some very
handsome transactions in Idaho min
ing country.
Should the Columbia change hands
It will probably add a new Impetus to
bees which caused ov-' mining In eastern Oregon. Not that
Dr. C. F. Lathrop, an osteopath
physician of Seattle has brought suit
for $75,000 against about a score of
other physicians In the building In
which he has offices. It is alleged
that they petitioned the owners of the
building to have the osteopath re
moved from the building and in the
oetltion they alluded to him as a
quack. ,
er population nnd congestion and that
they peeded a higher tariff to keep
out foreign pauper honey which caus
ed over-production so that the drones
and the hornets couldn't possibly eai
It nil and therefore .they must be pa
tient and cheerful until the drones
could get rid of It and then they would
take the covers off the fields and
flo-wers nnd give them a chance to go
to work again.
In the meantime they should be ap
tlmlstlc nnd cheerful and happy and
love ono another nnd be honest and
respect the rights and sacredness of
private property, especially In the
fields and flowers which was tho very
foundation of society and that they
should never forget that there had
always been poor bees as long ago ns
the great mine has not been a wonder
ful payer In the past, for It has, but
a deal on a- Inrge property always ex
cites more or less Interest from min
ing people and causes Investigation In
to surrounding mines nnd country that
probably otherwise would not be
made.

Every woman covets a
shapely, pretty figure, and
many of them deplore the
loss of their girlish forms
after marriage. The bearing
of children is often destructive
to the mother's shapeliness.
All ot this can be avoided,
however, by the use of Mother's Friend before baby comes, as this
great liniment always prepares the body for the strain upon it, and
preserves the symmetry of her form. Mother's Friend overcomes all the
danger of child-birth, and carries the expectant mother safely through
thfs critical period without pain. It is woman's greatest blessing.
Thousands gratefully tell of the benefit and relief derived from the
use of this wonderful .
