AMONG THE EXCHANGES
OF THE
INLAND EMPIRE
Woman Attacked by Rattler.
Mrs. Albert Johnson encountered a
rattler last week at ber home on upper
Canyon creek that attacked her with
the ferocity of a famished hyena, say
the Blue Mountain Eagle. The snake
with malignant demeanor started the
attack and pursued Its Intended victim
until a well directed blow severed Its
venomous head from Its writhing,
colling body. Mrs. Johnson was work
lng on the garden and the first Intima
tion that she had of the presence of
the reptile was when It struck at her,
hitting on her apron and falling at
her feet at started after her and rapid
ly colling struck again. A blow from
garden hoe which she held, quickly
dispatched the determined foe.
Rattlesnakes have appeared on up
per Canyon creek this summer In
larger numbers than usual, there being
scarcely a day but what some one re
ports the killing of one or more. The
long dry weather It is thought has
something to do with the presence of
such great numbers this summer.
May Move to La Graikle.
There Is a prospect that the Island
City M. & M. company will rebuild
their implement warehouse at La
Grande, says the La Grande Star. The
company owns the quarter block north
of the La Grande National bank build
ing, a fine location for an Institution
of the kind, that was recently a total
loss by Ore.
The matter is as yet a little indefi
nite as it will be necessary to ha?
this Question passed upon by the
stockholders of the company, a meet
ing of whom is to be held at an early
date.
When this meeting takes place the
whole situation will be reviewed and
the problems involved will be these.
Whether to rebuild at once or wait un
til a later date; whether to rebuild at
Island City or to rebuild on the com
pany's vacant lots in La Grande.
To Protect Quail.
Realizing the scarcity of quail and
the danger of their complete extinc
tion in this vicinity, County Game
Warden C. L. Whitney Intends putting
forth strenuous efforts to prevent their
killing in this section during the com
ing hunting season, until the legisla
ture meets, when he thinks laws will
be passed absolutely prohibiting their
destruction for a term of five or six
years, says the Walla Walla Bulletin.
Inasmuch as the season for the kill
ing of grouse and chickens opens to
morrow, Mr. Whitney Is aware that
there will be quite a few hunters who
will be tempted to kill a few quail on
the sly, notwithstanding that this is
unlawful before the first of October,
and has accordingly enlarged his force
of assistants until he now has 40 dep
uties stationed throughout the county
to watch out for these lawbreakers.
house and machine shops, which will
give employment to many men.
Walla Walla Is Sued.
Asking that $25,000 damages be ren
dered, and that the city be enjoined
from using the waters of Mill creek,
the Blalock Fruit company yesterday
afternoon began suit In the superior
court against the city of Walla Walla,
says the Statesman.
The plaintiffs allege that they have
been damaged $10,000 tuts year from
lack of water for irrigation purposes,
a like amount last year, and $6000 in
other ways. Further, they ask that
the city be enjoined from using the
waters of the creek through the new
pipe line or in any other manner.
The fruit company claims that their
lands are of little value without water
and that, as the waters have been in
terfered with, they are losing heavily
In their crops this year.
Peculiar Accident.
While driving In from the mount
ains last Sunday evening with his
wife, E. L. Freeland met with an ac
cident in which he received a frac
ture of the left leg just above the an
kle, says the Heppner Gazette.
When near Hager's place Mr. Free
land stopped the team and got out of
the buggy to shoot a bird. In coming
back to the buggy he stepped on a
small rock which slipped under his
foot, throwing him down, which
caused the fracture.
After considerable difficulty Mr.
Freeland succeeded in getting back
Into the buggy and drove to the Hepp
ner sanitarium, where the fracture
was attended by Dr. Kistner.
Mr. Freeland is now resting well

Northern Pacific in that region. In
view of the fact that Jos. McCabe Is

Mrs. Putnam Yeck, living In Elgin,

having occasion to use them. When
suffering from an attack of lame

my kidneys, I procured a box and
began their use. If I sat long the
pains were always more severe and
I experienced a languid, dizzy feel

the backache, regulated the action of
my kidneys and lifted a great burden

Narrow Escape IYom Sickle.
P. H. Thompson was In the city
Tuesday and told of a narrow escape
that befell him last week. He was
running a mowing machine and cross
ed a small ditch which he did not no
tice. The jar threw him from the
mower seat and he fell in front of the
sickle. The team quickened up and
went for some distance before he was
able to extricate himself.
Mr. Thompson was badly scared,
but when he finally got clear of the
machine he found that his overalls
had been literally clipped to pieces,
but otherwise he was not injured in
the least. Wallowa Sun.

CREW OF SURVIVORS AT
WORK IN CENTRAL OREGON,
Work to Determine Nature-of Coun
try to He Traversed Will lie Com
pleted In Few Days Old Columbia
Southern Survey Will Be Followed.
The surveyors of the Central Ore
gon railroad moved their camps to
Culver the first of the week and this
week they are running a line south
west from Madras through the Opal
prairie country to a crossing on
Crooked river about Trail crossing,
says the Madras Pioneer.
This survey will only require about
a week's work and is being run for
the purpose of seeing what kind of a
line could be secured by that route.
When this work is completed, which
will probably be by the first of next
week, the surveyors will return to
Madras, and from here It is expected
that the survey will go to Shanlko,
following the old Columbia Southern
survey. This survey goes through the
Lyle & Brown gap, down Hay creek
to Trout, up Trout for a short dis
tance to the junction with Ward's
creek, and on up Ward's creek to the
Shanlnko flat. There has been some
discussion of a line down Indian
creek and through Antelope and a
survey of that route may be made.
The chief objection urged is the ad
ditional mileage, as it would Increase
the length of the road several miles.
It Is believed, however, that a good
grade could be secured by that route
and some of the heavy work avoided
which the Ward creek route would
make necessary.
The survey between Madras and
Shanlko will consume several weeks
and If by that time the preliminary
arrangements and subscriptions have
made sufficient progress construction
work could be started at once, as It
would require only a short time to
make a permanent location and be
gin cross-sectioning.
If you take Kodol in the beginning
the bad attacks of Dyspepsia will be
avoided, but If you allow these little
attacks to go unheeded it will take
Kodol a longer time to put your
stomach in good condition again. Get
a bottle of Kodol today. Sold by
