Master Francis Llman, aged 7, Who Accompanied Company L to Amer ican Lake, Says He la Glad o Get Home Presented Picturesque Ap pearance. "I couldn't sleep much at American lake, there was so much hootin'" said Francis Lyman, the youthful mas cot of Company L who attended the annual encampment at American lake, hut who returned home with his fath er and a portion of the company yes terday, "and I am glad to get home." This was the estimate of the Amer ican lake encampment given to the! East Oregonlan today by the lad who was a prominent figure in Company L quarters during the meeting of the militiamen at the encampment. "Didn't you like the manoeuvers?" was asked the young mascot. "The what? Naw. There was too much shootln', I liked to help cook and see the drills, hut I didn't like the shootln'. I couldn't sleep; the noise of the shootln' was always ring ing in my ears." The little lad, who is but 7 years of age, was selected by Company L as Its mascot at the summer encamp ment and he was the youngest soldier among the EOOO. He was dressed In the regular khaki service uniform, with hat, revolver, belt and all, and presented a most soldierly figure marching with his company. RAILROAD TREE PLANTING.

There Is no better or safer place for your Idle money, either small or largs amounts, than In our Savings De partment Commercial National Bank United State Depository vide for some of Its fttfure require ments in timber and cross ties, the Pennsylvania railroad forestry depart ment has completed Its forestry plant- ing for this year. It set out 625,000 trees. These make up to the present time 2,425.000 trees set out by the railroad since it undertook tree plant ing upon a comprehensive scale. Economically to prosecute tree planting operations on a large scale has necessitated the importation of much European plant material, whici owing to the degree of perfection to which the European foresters have brought their work and the cheapness of labor, can be purchased at a much lower price than In America. This year the Pennsylvania railroad im ported 209,000 seedlings, of which all not large enough to be planted in their permanent sites have been set out in transplant rows in the new forest nur sery established this year by the com- pany at Morrisville, Pa., Just across the Delaware river from Trenton. In the seed beds were sown this year 25 bushels of acorns and nuts, 370 pounds of other hard wood seeds and 75 pounds of conifer seed. In addition 300,000 seedlings were per manently planted In land belonging to the company. Trees which are not suitable for timber production are be ing grown for ornament. The company has this year began the propagation of ornamental trees and plants for beautifying its prop erty and intends to develop a large amount of shrubbery and hedges for the protection and ornamentation of the station grounds and rights of way. This work will be continued until all station grounds and ui.octupled spaces of the right of way are parked. Scientific American. WILL GREET ATHLETES.

Was Filled to Over, flowing With Indian Residents ot Unintilln County Who Went to See Circus and Remained to Drink. ieenuso of the fact that yesterday was circus day, and harvesters from all parts of the surrounding country were here to see the elephants, the police force had all the business It could transact In a single day, the cells and corridors having been crowded almost to the limit last night when darkness fell over the valley, says the Walla Walla Union. The fireworks started Tuesday night, when a number of transients became over-charged with booze, and from that time until early this morning, officers with offenders In charge re ported every few moments at the sta tion. So frequent did the visits of the blue-coats become, that It was found advisable yesterday evening to liber. ate two of the men behind the bars in order to make room for mors. Accordingly J. Stanton, who was ar rested yesterday morning for being drunk and disorderly, was released on 13 bonds to appear before Justice Huffman today. D. D. Miller, who was arrested yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, on the same charge, was released on $2.50 bonds, and promis ed to be good. Among those who were given lodg ing last night were Willie Maycutche. an Indian from Athena; J. Price, In- dlan, rendlcton Tom Loy, Indian, Umatilla; Lee Evine; nameless In dian; . Jim White, Indian, witness; Charles Bowers, selling liquor to In dian; Archie Allard, disorderly con duct; Bill Hale, John Donnier, disor derly conduct; James Brisbols. It was noticeable that nearly all of the offender were from Umatilla county, where the recent elections banished the sale of intoxicating liquor. The large number of men who came to Walla Walla yesterday fj see the circus, were in almost every case well supplied with money, and having been "dry" for several weeks proceeded at once to take on some liquid ballast with the result that the majority of them spent the night In the city Jail. F. S. rVANHOE WAS VICTIMIZED. (Continued from Paw 1.) on the phonograph. Thinking that he was going to give them the rec ord of instructions which he left for his stenographer the evening before, he turned the machine on. But he had not reckoned with the practical Inkers of La Grande, for during the night a number of friends of th major had raided his office and had talked into a fresh cylinder some of the most unprintable and out rageous language that It was possible to conceive of, and when the machine was started for his lady friends In stead of his own gentle voice giving Instructions to his stenographer he was horrified to hear a strange voice begin on what was Introduced as "A pure and pathetic poem addressed and dedicated to the Amalgamated Order of Hot Air Artists," and before he could stop the machine a few lines of the unspeakable pnem had been repeated for the anxious listeners. It Is not necessary to say that Major Ivanhoe now takes his new cylinders Into the back room and "tries them out" before Inviting any lady friends t listen to his voice reel off Instruc Hons to his stenographer.

Wlnslow, of Val paraiso, reports that the government of Chile is giving the water supply question for the arid regions In the northern part of Chile, considerable attention, adding: The government now has a project under consideration to see what can be done by way of irrigation by means of artesian wells in that region It is recognized that all those barren plains need to make them the garden spots of the world Is moisture. For 'that reason foundings are to be made In that part of the country to deter mine what the subterranean supply may be. Julio Duplaquet, a government en gineer, has been designated by the minister of public works to first make Investigations In the vicinity of Copla po, where it Is also proposed to sup ply the city with artesian water. Co piapo is a city of about 12,000 Inhab itants, and is situated in the arid re gions about 850 miles north of Val paraiso. Rain has not fallen In that part of Chile for ages, and the few streams In that part of the country are fed by the melting snow on the west slopes of the Andes. The geo logical formation Indicates that there must be subterranean streams flowing from the same source of the Pacific ocean. If you sea It In the East Oregonlan, CHURCH FOR ECHO If to.
