Italy, with a New York bank clerk
as chaperon.
There will be a civil ceremony and
also a religious ceremony, the latter

under what Is known in France as the
"separation of property regime," each
party remaining In absolute control
of his or her own fortune, which In
the event of depth- will not pass to
the survivor, but to the heirs of the
deceased. .

Played Adam and Eve.
The ancient history of biblical
times has been brought to mind by a
party of six, three men and three wo
men of Hermlston, who went to Uma
tilla Sunday, says the Dcho Regis
ter. They tipped the flowing bowl a
little too frequently and were pretty
well jagged by the time they reached
Umatilla. After laying in a fresh
supply of the sparkling fluid they
went to a sand bank near by and
played Adam and Eve until the mar
shal placed them under arrest. They
remained locked up for a short time,
when they were balled out by a prom
inent merchant of Umattlta county.
We withhold their names till after

Buying Wider Project But Most
Are From Middle West.
There has been hardly a day dur
ing the past two weeks that the west
ern end of the county has not Increas
ed Its population. From the present
outlook, there Is every reason to be
lieve that by this time next June there
will be at least 1500 more people In
the country surrounding Echo, Fos-'
ter and Hermlston. The Influx of
people from the middle west is in
creasing and Pendleton has had more
home seekers stop here recently owing
to the floods in Montana, than at any
previous time.
. D. B. Costuma, the local represen
tative of the Furnlsh-Coe lands. In
conversation today stated that t IiIh
homeseeklng element does not come
from any particular section, his sales
having been chiefly to people from
Iowa, Colorado, Montana, North Da
kota, Washington and Idaho. Most
of the purchases have been in tracts
of five, 20 and 2 Oacres, which will
he put Into cultivation this coming
fall. The western end of the county
affords to these new-comers advan-
tages equal If not better than can be
obtained In any other section of the
northwest, and at prices three or four
hundred dollars lower than is asked
iiacniinr, ti'Ulor, linn 111c urn-
opment of the country the prices will
Increase, and It Is encouraging to note
the success the Furnlsh-Coe people
are meeting with.
Costuma states that their engineer
has completed the survey for an
electric line on their own project, and
is now surveying for proper grading
to Hermlston; when this work Is com-
pleted the engnleer will then start
and lay out a proper grading from
Echo through to Pendleton.
"Of course," says Costuma, "there
Is not sufficient immediate business
to warrant the construction of this
electric line at this time, but with
the securing of our right of way and
the development of the western end
of the county, which In five years will
be entirely complete, an electric line
will be a big dividend payer In that
section, and the line continued east
to Fendleton- on the north side, will
give us enough tonnage to make the
line successful."
Dr. Coe has been much encouraged
by the support given to the Furnlsh
Coe project jy the local people.
G. W. Phelps recently closed a con
tract for 29 4-10 acres at $125 an
acre, and the purchasers In this city

The Furnlsh-Coe people will run
an excursion to Echo In July, and It
Is the plan of the company todlstrib-

not believe the Umatilla county

is thinner, the rust Is of little conse

Pendleton. Those who are In a posi

unfavorable season, a dry, cold
