XOT EVEN A NIGHTMARE IX CITY RESERVOIR Bono Would Need Wings to Fall In to Big Hole on the Hill Nothing In the Concrete Barfn Except Wa-1 ter mod Sometimes Not Much of, That Officials Greatly Bothered, j There are no dead horses in the' city reservoir, nor have any animals' been found there In spite of rumor to that effect. There is a solid wall Ix feet high entirely around the rea-j ervolr and the only gate is securely fastened with a padlock. Consequent-' ly a horse or any other animal would have difficulty In falling Into the res ervoir. But during the past few days a per sistent rumor has been afloat to the effect that a horse had been found in the city water supply. Though the story was absolutely without founda tion it has been passed from mouth to mouth and has been told with varia tions. The chief point of variance has been In the age of the horse. Yes terday a timorous housewife called up Mayor Murphy and injulred if a colt had been found in the reservoir. "Madam, you are mistaken," re plied the mayor, Impatiently, "it is a horse, a full grown horse." The lady Is said to have fainted. William Sutherland, water superin tendent, has also been plied with In. qulrles regarding the story until he says he has had enough. According to Mr. Sutherland he makes a trip to the reservoir almost every day and he has been wholly unable to find anything but water in the big tank. Sometimes there hasn't been enough of that, but at present the supply is ample. He says that no horse ex cept a "nightmare" could get Into the reservoir If It wanted to and he hopes there will be no more of those. RECORDER HEXDLEY RETURNS. Spends Month in San Francisco and Other California Cities. Fred W. Hendley, county recorder, arrived home this morning from a trip to San Francisco and other towns In the vicinity of the Golden Gate. He was away for a month and his trip was a combined business and pleasure sojourn. "San Francisco Is not yet rebuilt, and from the lick they are working now !t seems to me it will take 20 years to rebuild the city," says Mr. Hendley. "Oakland has made great gains since the earthquake and, fire for many of the concerns that went to Oakland temporarily have remained there. In San Francisco the people all speak of the 'fire" and not of the 'earthquake. " Will Camp at Meactiam. Mr. and Mrs. L. E.

Leading Druggists. RAISED CHICKS FOR NEIGHBORS Godfrey Neunuut Engages in New In dustry In This County. That the raising of chickens by in cubator methods has good possibilities In this section Is fully shown by the record made by Godfrey Xeuman dur ing the last spring. Mr. Xeuman has several incubators on his ranch In Spring hollow and during the spring made quite a business of hatching out chickens for his neighbors at so much per chick. During the season he hatched a total of 1600 chickens and by doing so made money for him self and at the same time saved his neighbors much trouble. Though he has never made any ef fort to secure business, Mr. Xeuman had about all he could handle last spring and he believes that the eco nomical way for people to raise chickens Is to have their eggs hatched out at an "Incubator ranch."

HemplilU Says Ho Had Three Fnilures in the Ite "Sixties" Dis couraging Experience Rain In creased and Total Failure Has Been I iiknoun Since. "This Is not the first dry year ex perienced In Umatilla county," said J. M. Hemphill, the Pilot Rock pio neer to the East Oregoniun today. Hack about lStiS we had three years in succession in which I did not cut a bushel of wheat although I sowed moderately large crops every year. It wus the most discouraging experi ence I ever hud. I was a new set tler and naturally was not "flush" with money and the failure of my three crops In succession was a most trying experience. "But rain gradually Increased in this section and crops begun to yield better and from that time until now we have enjoyed moderately good crops In all parts of the county. "The drought of those three years was not confined to Pilot Rock nor to Umatilla county, but It was gen eral all over eastern Oregon and set tlers suffered everywhere. Many crops in all parts of this and adjoin ing counties were not cut at all. The wheat came up In the early spring but It simply burnt off at the ground. In many sections portions of the crops were cut but the bulk of the crop was a failure for thre years in succession." SAWDUST PCDDIN.' Off for Lehman Springs.

Pendlnton seems to be up against a hard proposition for a legal modus operandi by which the sheriff can dispose of the liquor of the bankrupt sVock of booze in that city, since the prohibition law has gone into effect, says the Hood River Xews-Letter. The officers must take out a liquor license before they can sell the red water, and even after he should get this, it would be necessary for each purchaser to get a physician's pre scription before he could possess the gleaming goods. Benjumlii Franklin's Object Leason to Influential Supporters. When Franklin was publishing a small newspaper in Philadelphia, so the story runs, be Incurred the dis pleasure of some of his Influential supporters through the Independence of his utterances in the paper. The result was that these supporters talk ed of withdrawing their advertise ments and subscriptions. This reached the ears of Franklin, who thereupon gave the dinner in question inviting those who were grumbling because of his newspaper course. The guests were surprised when they saw the meager preparations he had made and wondered whether the pretended banquet was meant as an Insult or whether there was a real banquet to come later, after Franklin had concluded his Joke. Franklin, however, ate heartily of the pudding and drank as heartily of the water, much to the astonishment of the company. When It came time for 'him to speak he told his guests that, having been made aware of their grumbling and of the threat to withdraw their support, he had given the dinner for the purpose of showing them upon what kind of fare he could live day in and day out and week in and week out if necessary, adding In con clusion, "A man who can do that ought to be independent." It Is said that hie guests took the hint and had no . more to say about punishing Franklin for his independence. Robert W. Hebberd in New York Sun. MATERIAL FOR O. R. & N. Work on Wallowa Extension Is Being Rushed. Conductor H. C. .Grady left La Grande yesterday with a tralnload of material for the Wallowa exten sion, says the La Grande Star. The train consisted of 16 cars of rails and ties. The rails were a nice lot and are of the class known as "60-pound steel," which means that the road to Wallowa will be well equipped in the way of trackage and will be of a char acter that will permit of heavy trat flc. Track laying In the Wallowa can' yon will not proceed very rapidly un. til the material yards near the cross Ing of the Grande Ronde are put in shape. There are two long sidings to be put In and. a large amount of other work to be done. This will keep a portion of the construction force busy for a few days. It is estimated that It will be another week before track laying up the Wallowa canyon will be under good headway.. Peter Grant, who will have charge of the material yards, left for the Oregon Womnn Indorsed. Oregon Grand Army men and Wo men Relief Corps members have en dorsed Department President Cora M.

The Jury in the superior court which has been sitting in the case of C. M. Billings, a preacher, against the Charlotte (N.. C.) Observer rendered a verdict to the effect that the charges of immorality preferred against the preacher by the newspa per while the former was a resident of Blackvllle, S. C. were true and the suit for damages would not lie. The reference In the newspaper's article to similar conduct at Waynesvllle, N. C, was deemed untrue, and the Jury awarded the plaintiff damages In the sum of $5000. Judge Ward promptly set that part of the verdict aside, granting a new trial. The verdict means that the Observer has won a great victory, for It is quite certain that the matter will never come to trial again. The ac tion for llbed was based on a story printed by the Observer under Blackvllle date line ,In which It was set forth that the preacher had writ ten endearing epistles to a mulatto servant girl formerly employed In his household, the matter causing a sen satlon In Blackfleld. The original letters were produced at the trial and proved upon the plaintiff, the evi dence all through being sensational Id the extreme. Social Postponed.
