HIMANE CATTLE-KILLING.
A New Device Being Introduced
Therefor In Dunfermline.
Consul Maxwell Blake reports that
In spite of much initial opposition on
the part of Scotch cattle killers of
the poleax style, a new device is be
ing introduced in the Dunfermline
slaughterhouse as a humane substl
tute for the old style of killing. The
consul describes the new instrument
as follows:
The weapon is about a foot In
length. The barrel is rifled and the
muzzle shaped like the mouth of a
bell and angled in order to adapt it
self to the slope of a bullock's head,
By unscrewing the opposite end from
the muzzle the cartridge may be In
serted. The breech piece having been
readjusted, there Is a steel guard pro
tecting the hammer, which sets off
the ' bullet This guard is not dls.
placed until the weapon Is about to
be used.
When the bullock has been firmly
drawn up, the operator , places the
bell end well up on the forehead, and
with a sharp tap of a mallet all
over, the beast generally falling down
without a struggle. If the bullet has
been properly placed, its path should
be along the spinal cord, completely
severing it. If the Instrument has
not been well placed, death Is a little
longer In ensuing, but in any case
there Is no pain to the animal. Care
in the use of the weapon is all that
Is required, as It Is not a thing which
can be handled recklessly with lnv
punlty.

IUVEK AT THOKNE HOLLOW
Last Llidt in Thoroughfare to Popular
Resort Will Soon be Welded News
Will be Welcomed by Score ifi Tills
City ami Walla Walla Many Re
pairs and Improvements Being
Made by New Mamiger.
That a bridge will be built at once
lit Thorne Hollow so that autos from
this city and Walla Walla may mane
the trip to Wenaha Springs was an
nounced yesterdy by J. A. Bone, new
proprietor of the popular Blue moun
tain resort. At the agency yesteraay
Borie consulted with Agent McFa
the briileo and aa a
UIUW v0.m..-o
result of the conference the former
will start a crew of men at work on
the bridge Immediately. The crew is
now constructing a bridge across Mea-
cham creek.
The news that the road to Wenaha
will be opened for automowies win
be welcomed by many people of this
city and also at Walla Walla. Scores
of people from both places are anx
ious to make the trip to the springs
by auto and the bridge at Thorn Hol
low Is the only thing now lacking. In
the past the reservation people have
been building a temporary bridge ench
year for the purpose of crossing with
wheat wagons In the fall.
Since he purchased the Bingham
Springs resort last spring Mr. Borie
has been constantly occupied with re
pairs and Improvements and he now
has the place In good condition tor
the summer's business, though he has
further work yet to be done. In every
way he is providing for the comfort
and entertainment of his patrons and
henceforth Bingham, now known as
Woneha springs, will be a mountain
resort with few equals.

METTIE PAROLED.
VoiKliful rorjrer Given Two Tear
Sentence With Conditional Freedom
Louis P. Mettle, youthful check
forger, was released from the county
Jail today after having been given
a parole by Judge Bean. He first
pleaded guilty to the charge against
him. Judge Bean then Imposed a
sentence of two years in the peni
tentiary but said he would permit of
a parole under which the boy will
have his freedom during good be
havior. Should he get into further trou
ble he will have to serve out the two
years sentence. The parole was giv
en in consideration of the boy's ex
treme youth, he being less than 15
years of age.
Young Mettle recently forged sev
eral checks on the First Xatlonal
bank and passed them on local peo
ple. He was bound for Michigan
when arrested at La Grande.

Corn Will Be Stndlod.
Corn will be the crop studied be
hind the wind-break this year. Trust
worthy conclusions cannot be obtained
bv comparing results from different
crops. Each crop makes Its own de
mand upon the soil, so that what
would destroy one might do little
harm In another. Corn is a partlcu
larly good crop to experiment with
because it is easily injured by hot
dry winds, will not stand shading, and
H very sensitive to frost.
The Instruments and apparatus for
euch state will be read weekly by per
sons assigned to that duty by the Agri
cultural experiment stations in the re
spective states. The whole work will
be In charge of an expert for the for
est service at Washington, who will
be assisted this summer by three or
four persons, also from the forest ser
vice, who will study general condi
tions in the States under Investiga
tion, In regard to the effects of wind
breaks on crops. The work will con
tinue until crops are gathered next
fall, when the actual yield of sheltered
fields will be measured, and results
compared with ' nearby unsheltered
fields. Some of the observations will
continue through the winter.
It is expected that the results will
be published both by the forest ser
vice and by the experiment stations
which co-operate in carrying out the
work.
