m dialing Against Law Violators.
In striking contrast with the dull
neas that has marked the police court
there were four drunks before Re-
were Indians, while the other was a
white man, who claimed he had gone
wrong drinking "near" beer.
George Washington, Allen Padawa'
and Charley Bennett were the Red-,
skins. When the first named was
Questioned by Judge Fitzgerald as to
whether or not he had been drunk,
he grunted in reply:'
"Only beer nvnV
"The fine is more for jetting drunk
on beer," said the court, humorously.
"Eight dollars, or four days in Jail."
The same sentence, double the pen
alty imposed in the old days, was
handed out to all the four men. When
the white man, Hilloughby, was sen
tenced, he protested vigorously for
being arrested for drinking "near"
beer, which he said he had regarded
as a temperance drink and harm
less.
However, his statement was not
taken at full face value by the court
or the chief of police, for the latter
ays all of the men had found some
thing stronger than "near" beer.

PROMINENT FARMER
DROPS DEAD SUNDAY,
Had Been Suffering from Dropsy for
Several Months Funeral Will Be
Held Tomorrow Resided In Uma
tilla County Eleven Tears Father
of Large Family.
Joseph Snyder, a prominent farmer
and father of Frank and Elmer Sny
der of this city, died yesterday morn
ing at his home four miles west of
town. Death came suddenly and was
due to ln-art failure brought on by
dropsy.
Yesterday morning he arose ap
parently feeling well and at a hearty
breakfast. Shortly afterwards he was
taken suddenly 111 and fell dead.
Arrangements have been made to
hold the funeral from the Baker &
Folsom undertaking parlor at 3
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The ser
vice will be conducted by Rev. Quln-
ney, rector of the Church of the Redeemer.
Jifseph Snyder wad 72 years of
age and was born at Bethlem, Pa.
He went to Illinois in 1857 and ln
1860 was married to Miss Caroline
Delt, who died. In 1871 he moved
from Illinois to Nebraska, and in 1874
he married again, to Miss Lena Neu
mann. The family came to Oregon ln
1897. '
By his first wife the deceased had
three children, Elmer A., Frank and
Charles I. Snyder. By his second wife
he had fourteen children, and of
these eight are now living. They are
Mrs. Flora K. Ellis, Emma Bryant,
Mamie Cox, Ida Hill, Miss Eva Sny
der, Bert and Edward Snyder.
On first arriving in this country the
deceased lived on the Llndsey place,
northwest of town, and later he moved

dustrious farmer. There is deep re
gret over his sudden death.

Echo, Ore., July 25. The remains
of Miss Elza May Kennlson, the 18-year-old

entire community In which she lived.
BLUE MOUNTAIN'S
NEVER BETTER.
(Continued from page 1.)
etude and steadfast austerity mock
the hungry, burning heart of man!
Stopping of National Waste.
One cannot ride through the Blue
mountains and not feel guilty for the
government which has permitted the
frightful waste of forest fires to con
tinue for years, as ln the past.
Here Is an entire hillside once cov
ered with magnificent forest, now a
barren waste, dotted here and there
with blackened stumps and marked
with the remains of the forest mon
arch, once the pride of the hills.
With no timber to hold the snow
fall. It melts and runs down hurried
ly to the lower lands, tearing out the
grass roots, leaving the hillsides bar
ren, seamed, arid and useless.
With timber to catch and hold the
snow, these hillsides would be stor;
age reservoirs for moisture, luxuriant
pastures and timber reserves of Ines
timable value.
The government must be congratu
lated for saving the remnants. The
bulk of the timber Is cut away aad
burned down, but even -at this late
day It is glorious to see this .great
waste of forest wealth stopped. In a
few years, even without reseeding,
many of the destroyed forests will
have been resurrected and the de
nuded mountains will present a vast
ly more attractive appearance than
now.
I am proud to know that Umatilla
county Is to share largely In the ben
efits of the forestry policy of Theo

A PromiHe for Pendleton.
Standing on the brow of the tow
ering cliffs overlooking McKay creek
20 miles southeast of Pendleton, I
was struck by the magnificent throb
bing promises for Pendleton which
I saw In those mountain gorges,
rocky hillsides end vast sloping
watersheds, all pouring their wealth
Into the lap of our splendid county
eat
Here ln, these gorges kind nature
has placed the masonry, ready hewn,
for storage reservoirs to hold billions
of gallons ol waste water.
Here are the narrow canyons, here
the rock, the clay, the earth for Im
pregnable dams. Here from hun
dreds of miles square of sloping hill
sides could be gathered the snowfall
nd spring freshets and yonder around
and beyond Pendleton, lies the thirst
ing arid land, pregnant with untold
wealth and capable of supporting
thousands of people!
It seems that all that need be done
by man, to utilise this superb gift of
nature, Is to lay the waiting stones
Into walls of masonry between the
strong arms of the hills!
Some day I hope to see the waste
snowfall of these mountain sides
blossoming Into verdant fields and
pink peach blooms tributary to Pen
dleton. It Is the greatest promise
before the city.
From these hillsides and water
sources, It Is possible that Pendleton
will also turn, In time, for her water
supply. It Is a practical, feasible
proposition and is worthy of serious
thought.

INDIA PUNJAB TRADE.
People Seeking More Modern Com-
forts limn Formerly.
According to Consul-General Wil
liam H. Michael, of Calcutta, the re
port on the Internal trade of the Pun
jab, India, for the three years ending
with March last reflects the fact that
the agricultural conditions of the
province were very favorable, except
In the middle year of the trlennlum.
He summarizes the trade as follows:
The highest export figures succeed
the excellent crops of 1906, and 49
per cent more goods were exported
during this three-year period than
during the preceding one. By far the
bulk of the export trade Is In food
grains .and the total under this head
was 77 per cent greater than In the
previous trlennlum. There was an
Increase of 29 lakhs or 1966.666, ln
value of Imports, despite slackening
in the abnormal imports of sugar,
and Increases In the consumption of
piece goods, apparel, gunny bags, ghl
(clarified butter), and kerosene oil,
all Indicate Increased purchasing pow
er of the people.- Imports of apparel
rose ln value from 58 lakhs, or II.
933,330, to 103 lakhs, or 13,433,330.
European cotton piece goods fell off
by 5 1-4 lakhs, or 1175,000, while In
dian piece goods advanced by about
60 lakhs, or $1,666,660. Prices of
European piece goods were exceed
ingly high, and this fact helped to
turn the scale In favor of country
made goods. On the whole the fig
ures Indicate steady progress ln pros
perity, and those relating to the Im
ports especially show that the people
are seeking more material comfort
than has hitherto satisfied them.
Rumor Is Not Correct.
It was rumored here the fjrst of
the week that the proposed exten
sion of the Columbia Southern rail
road had been abandoned and that
the Corvallla & Eastern would bethe
line extended into Crook county, says
the Madras Pioneer. Mr. Howard, in
response to an inquiry over the tel
ephone, emphatically, denied the ru
mor, and says so far as he knows the
Columbia Southern will be the line
with which the Central Oregon will
connect. He stated further that It
would be entirely satisfactory to have
the subscribers ln this section make
their subscriptions contingent upon
the extension of the Columbia South
ern or some line from the north.
The rumor referred to above was
the subject of much discussion here,
as the extension of the C. B. was
not looked upon with favor. Mr.
Howard's explanation and the sugges
tion that the subscriptions be con
ditioned on the extension of the Co
lumbia Southern will, however, over
come what might have been a big ob
stacle In securing subscriptions.
Hay Gets Wetting.
Ten thousand tons , of hay ln the
central part of Crook county received
a thorough wetting In the fields last
Sunday and Monday. Much of the
hay was either ln the shock or ln
partly finished stacks, some in the
wlnrow, and no small part In the
swath. Just as It fell from the ma
chines. Everyone began cutting the Fourth
of July and but few of them had be
gun to stack when the storm com
menced. The greater part of the hay
that got wet Is alfalfa and meadow
grasses and will not be seriously In
jured unless the rains continue.
Within a radius of 10 miles of this
place 10,000 tons have been caught
In the rain, but all of the ranchers
are optimistic, saying that the benefit
will be greater to the second crop
than the damage to the first. Prlne

Crop Report Enoourajrlng.
Crop reports In the last few days
from the various districts adjacent to
this place are encouraging and Indi
cate that the yield is going to be
much better than was anticipated.
From Agency Plains, the Fisher dis
trict, Methodist Hill, Culver and other
districts from which farmers were ln
town the last of the week, the report
Is brought that arc average crop will
be harvested, and that the yield will
be much heavier than was predicted
two weeks ago. Much of the grain
Is very late this year and this was es
pecially benefited by the heavy rain
last week. Several farmers In this
Immediate neighborhood who were
preparing to cut all their grain for
hay, have concluded to thresh as the
grain Is so much better than they
expected. A few farmers say they
will have as good a crop as they had
last year, but not many are so fortu
nate, although the reports altogether
are very encouraging.
Child Drowned.
While wading ln the Spokane river
at Lacrosse, near Coeur d'Alene, Ida
ho, Thursday evening, the 6-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Klems
was drowned. The body was recov
ered later.

PREDICTS BIG WHEAT CROP.
A. D. Charlton Saye Fears of Short
age Are Unfounded.
That the wheat crop of the Palouse
country will be an average one Is the
belief of A. D. Charlton, assistant
general passenger agent of the Nort
ern Pacific, who has Just returned
from a trip through Washington', says
the Portland Oregonlan. He says that
while the grain has been much dam
aged ln spots, this condition does not
necessarily mean a crop failure, or
even a small yield on the whole
While the grain generally will yield
less per acre than last year, the acre
age Is larger, and this will make up
for shorter yield per acre, so that
the total crop will average up well.
With the good prices ln prospect, Mr.
Charlton believes the crop Is such that
It means continued prosperity for the
Inland Empire and consequently for
Portland.
Mr. Charlton met C. M. Levy, third
vice-president of the Northern Pa
cific on the sound, and traveled
through the state with him. Mr. Levy
Is on a trip looking over the west
end of the line, and will be In Port
land the last of this week. He will
spend several days In this city.

BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVING.

Will Hanscom, one of the Jewelers

several months spent ln the east, dur

a Philadelphlt school of engraving,
has on display at the store a hand

the results of three weeks of solid
work. In addition to the different
styles and combinations of lettering,
there Is also a decoration. The cen

Waltaburg Must Pay Tax.
Waitsburg citizens must pay the
county road and bridge tax, accord
ing to a decision of the supreme
court Just rendered in the case of E.
M. Denton against Walla Walla coun
ty, says the Waitsburg Times. This
suit was brought to enjoin the coun
ty from enforcing the tax on the
ground that the city charter, granted
years ago by the legislature to Waits
burg, provided that no county tax
for road or bridge purposes should
ever be levied on property In the city.
This charter provision the supreme
court says has been repealed by later
laws authorising such tax against all
property in the county, and thus af
firms the decision of the lower court,
denying the Injunction.
