INLAND EMPIRE ASSO.
CIATION AUGUST 6.
Organization Has 300 Members and
Includes Those Persons In Oregon,
Idaho and Washington Who Came
to the Coast" Prior to 1885 Older
Ones Guests of Honor.
Announcement has been made that
the annual pioneer reunion picnic of
the Inland Empire Association would
be held at Walla Walla August 6.
There are about 300 members In the
association. Including pioneers of Or
egon, Washington and Idaho. Mem
bership In this association consists of
those who were In the northwest
prior to 1885.
Dr. N. G. Blalock of Walla Walla,
president of the association, gave out
the following statement yesterday:
'The annual meeting of the Pioneer
Association of the Inland Empire will
be held In Walla Walla Instead of
Ballou's Grove, near Freewater, as
last year. Although the grove might,
in some respects, be preferable, the
expenses of meeting there this year
are more than could be met by the
dues charged.
"Therefore, since the managers of
the Central Christian church have
generously offered the use of their
comfortable and commodious parlors
to the old pioneers we will meet there
this year. In the church parlors Is
every necessary equipment for a first
class banquet
"It Is especially desired that all the

pioneers of these three states meet
Thursday morning, August 6. at the
church as the banquet Is to be held
from 12 to 2 o'clock that day. Any
one who came to the coast prior to
1885 is eligible to membership in the
association. A special Invitation Is
extended to the "older pioneers, who
came to the coast in the '50s and
'60s. They will be the guests of hon
or and everything will be done to
make them comfortable.
"The program will consist of short
speeches. Interspersed with vocal and
instrumental selections. Prominent
men from all over the Inland empire,
have signified their willingness to ap
pear on that occasion to give short
addresses. The program will appear
in full In a later issue of this paper.
"Invitation Is hereby extended to all
those who have done so much to
make this Inland country one of the
most pleasant places on the continent
In which to live. Visitors may come

Crushed by Horse.
Crushed betwen his horse and a
fence, August Sllllgar, an aged man,
this noon received injuries from which
he died at his home on Fourth street
near the fair grounds, says the Walla
Walla Statesman. Medical aid was at
once summoned, Dr. Stewart and
nurses going out to his home near
the race track, but he was so terribly
Injured that he could not survive.
Sllllgar, who was a garbage hauler
from Fort Walla Walla, was unhitch
ing his team this noon when the acci
dent occurred. He had pulled the
bridle from one horse and was be
tween him and the fence trying to un
hitch a tug which had been carelessly
left unfastened. The horse becoming
unmanageable, crushed the unfortu
nate man against the fence. His
chest was caved In and several ribs
were broken.
Neighbors saw the trouble and
summoned the doctor, who called a
nurse and went Immediately to tho
scene of the accident. . Sllllgar was
dying when aid reached him and he
lived but a few minutes after 1
o'clock.
He was a widower and has one son
living In the city.

Unit HATCHET
RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
WALKS TIES 83 MILES.
Tests Ties mid HrtilKcs with Carrie
Nation Weapon Will Make Full
RpHrl One State Official Who
Stx'k Information ut First Hand
Wants Rond to 'no Safe for Ex
cursion Trains.
Oswald West, state railroad com
missioner, who Is always doing sen
sational stunts In investigating the
railroads, has Just concluded another
unique tour of Investigation, the re
sults of which he promises to embody
in a formal report to the state rail
road commission within the next few
days, says the Oregonlan. Mr. West
has completed a walking trip from
Albany to Yaqulna, a distance of 83
milts. During the trip he made a
minute examination into the condition
of the roadbed, track and bridges of
the line, which Is now the prbperty of
the Harrlman Interests.
Commissioner West carried with
him a hatchet which he applied to the
ties and timbers of the road to deter
mine their physical condition. Wheth
er the timbers of the trestles were
well preserved or not he could deter
mine In this way, and this was the
prime cause for his making the trip.
Many Bridges on Line.
The Corvallls & Eastern, between
Albany and Yaqulna crosses and re
crosses the Yaqulna river a great
many times, besides bridging a num
ber of mountain gulches with high
trestles. There are between Albany
and Yaqulna on this line of railway
140 bridges. This fact was the chief
cause of the trp beng undertaken,
for unless these high bridges are kept
In. the proper condition any one of
them might collapse when a heavily
loaded summer excursion train passed
over it. causing many deaths.
The walk of 83 miles that Mr. West
undertook required some time, but
was completed during the past week.
He went carefully over every rod of
track with his hatchet and examined
the bridges with the closest scrut
iny, climbing down the mountain
sides to the bottoms of the gulches
to investigate the stability of the
foundations and the condition of the
timbers.
Mr. West found no serious defects
In the road so far as has been learn
ed, although what will be embodied
In his report cannot now be known.
Officials connected with the line are
satisfied with Its physical condition
and say that It Is fully up to the
standard of Oregon railroads.
Former Trip in Cattle Car.
Mr. West made a sensational trip
last year on a cattle train -from the
Upper Willamette Valley 'to' Portland
to observe the methods used In trans
porting cattle from the farms to the
local stock yards. Disguised as a
farm hand, he was hjred to care for
the cattle on their Journey to Port
land. Upon accomplishing the Jour
ney, Mr. West reported that the meth
ods of caring lor cattle while in
transit in this state are cruel and un
necessarily brutal. He said the Jour
ney was slow and tedious and the
cattle suffered anguish from thirst
and hunger.
It was Mr. West also wh' walked
over the West Side division of the
Southern Pacific from Corvallls to
Portland some time ago, after a pas
senger train had been wrecked near
Forest Grove. Carrying a hat'jhet
with him, he chopped Into ties along
the railway to see If they were sound,
and he reported that a very large
percentage" were rotten and unsafe.
It Is expected that Mr. West's forth
coming report will contain some sen
sational features. A walk of 83 miles
means much time and effort wasted
unless it develops something worth
while.
STOVEPIPE ILVT IS DOOMED.
British Manufacturers Attempt to
Holster Up Trade.
London, July 27. A unique demon
stration was held at the Franco
British exposition by the makers of
high silk hats, for the purpose of
bringing back into popularity the top
hat. Invitations were Issued for the
conclave In front of the machinery
hall, and It was rigorously Insisted
upon that no one would be admit
ted unless wearing a silk hat. Four
hundred and fifty top hats attended.
There 'were tapering hats, funeral
looking hats with decorously straight
sides, rakish concave hats with curly
brims, broad pompous looking hats
of aldermanlc (repressiveness, hats
that were shiny, hats that were not.
New hats, old hats, historic hats that
had been In the family for genera
tions. Three traitors to the sacred
cause had the tlmerity to appear In
top-hats made of white straw. These
three gave a touch of lightness to an
otherwise black procession.
Nature, In her own peculiar way,
Interrupted the proceedings Just as
the resolutions had been passed de
claring the top-hat the only suitable
head gear In the world, by sending a
tropical downpour and a vehement
thunder storm. In the torrlental rain
the meeting disbanded and the tall
hats disappeared.
The derby gained a triumph.

. The Commencement.
The word "commencement" eneble
orators in frock coats to tell beautlM
young ladles lu white organdie that
the eztluetlon of the ucadcmlc era
marks the "commencement of their
real lives' Maybe- you have beard
theui and witnessed the thrill with
which the notion was received by
blushing maidenhood. It Is a stupen
dous thought, bulging with originality,
and I suppose It Is mean to meddle
with it, even though one knows bow
that use of the word comtueuced or
"began," if you prefer. lu tho old
days degrees or diplomas were not
granted in June. They were granted
in September, and the seniors of yes
teryear were forced to reluvade the
academic shades to acquire them ut
the commencement of the new terui.
After awhile it dawned upon our Insti
tutions of learning that the arrange
ment necessitated undue bother, so
they moved tho "commencement" ex
ercises back across the vacation nnd
put them at the end of the year. How
ever, they neglected to rechrlsteu them,
and oratory has gained much by that
Inspired oversight. Boston Transcript
A Fountain of Ants.
The house I was occupying In India
was a bungalow, and, ns is the case
with many bungalows, the Inner walls
were constructed of merely sun dried
bricks, and In the recesses of one wall
a colony of white ants had established
a nest It was evening. I heard be
hind me a buzzing sound. I turned,
aud from a hole uear the bottom of the
wall I beheld a fountain of young
white ants ascending. They reached
the celling, aud then the descent com
menced. They alighted by thousands
on the table and there shook off their
wlugs. In a few minutes the cloth, the
plates, the glasses, even the lamp
shades,' were covered with the little
white, feeble, crawling creatures. The
fountain of ants continued to play for
at least ten minutes. Wheu, next
morning, the floor was swept the wings
that the ants bad shaken off filled a
large basket. What became of the ants
themselves I cannot say. "Haunts and
Hobbles of an Indian Official."

their uses. Occasionally a man would

"'My directors are a difficult body
of men to handle,' he would Bay. 'I'll
submit it to 'em, but I warn you that
they are hard to manage.'
"The matter would be submitted to
the board when it assembled and
promptly rejected.
"'There,' the commodore would say
when bis visitor came to learn the re
sult 'I did the best I could, but I
told you in advance that my directors

His Card.
Mr. Newrlch, the dust contractor,
having made a fortune, part of which
he had Invested in house property in
the east of London, wished to rise, like
a pbenix, from bis ashes into some
sort of society. His. golden key, ap
plied to the coffers of an Impecunious
aristocrat opened the way.
Ills new friend, among other things,
advised him that visiting cards were
a necessity, and, as a guide to drawing
one up ready for the printer, handed
him one of his own, which read.
"Harold De Vere, Iona House, Ports
mouth Square. W."
Two days later, as De Vere was sit
ting in bis dressing room at breakfast,
a servant brought in on a salver a
visiting card bearing the following:
"Ephralra Newrlch. I Own 23 Houses,
London, E." Philadelphia Ledger.
