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. "

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."

PILOT ROCK PIONEER
RECALLS EARLY DAYS
J. M. 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."

Worrying About Pendleton.
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.

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

ganization recently held their annual

sought for by many and It Is even a
compliment to be the choice of the

the will of Oregon W. R. C. will pre
vail at the national election.

NEWSPAPER WINS.
Clwrlotte Observer Establishes
Cliargea of Immorality Against
Preacher.
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.
The social which was to have been
given at the Hotel Bowman Saturday
evening by the Episcopal Guild for
the benefit of the rectory fund, has
been postponed until early fall on ac
count of the extreme warm weather,
and the many people going away for
the week end.
