OREGON LIGHTHO.USE
MAY TUMBLE INTO SEA.
Sometime the ground under it will
crumble arid the lighthouse at Cape
Foulweather will sink into the sea,
says an item from Newport.
Beneath the structure from the
west a great cave is being driven by
the wash of the waves and tides into
the point of land on which the light
house stands. It has already pene
trated far Into the narrow neck tnat
Juts Into the sea.
Each year the action of water wears
away more and more of the rocks
until It has already become a cave
of large extent. It Is coached only in
the summer season and then with ex
treme difficulty. It is a dark cavern
ous place for exploration of which tha
visitor to this secret of the sea must
carry a lantern.
As the Interior Is penetrated the air
becomes thick, heavy and difficult to
breathe, so that but few, if any who
have visited the cavern have penetrat
ed to its remotest recesses. The storms
of winter that beat violently upon this
narrow neck of land drive the water
Into this cavern with the force and
velocity of a catapult.
Sometimes the force of the wind
sweeping over the cape is so terrible
that the Hghtkeepers in passing from
house to house are forced to crawl on
the ground.
The light in the tower Is 80 feet
above the ground but the spray from
the ocean in violent storms, beats
against the glass that protects th
light. The tower is sometimes so
shaken In, this war of the elements
that water kept in buckets at the top
of the tower is so agitated that It
dashes In small quantities over the
rim of the buckets.
The walls at the base are eight feet
thick. Eighty feet above, by a grad
ual process these walls are reduced to
a thickness of 14 inches. They are of
solid brick masonry, and when the
potentiality of the wind and waves is
such that this formidable structure ia
rocked almost like a reed In the wind
time Is telling heavily in th cavern
below.
Whether it will be a century or but
a few decades, whether It will be In
a generation or a long, long tlm
down the future, sometime the sea
will claim its own and the narrow
point where Foulweather lights now
stands will disappear. Such is tho
statement of an Inhabitant who has
lived many years within a mile of the
light, and who has- mdre than once
visited the cavern.
WATER IS NOT CLEAR.

Work on Ivce Wall Disturbs
City's Water Supply.
If the people of Pendleton were
called upon to vote for or agninst a
gravity water system at this time
there would be no doubt of the out
come. The Improvement would car
ry by a landslide majority.
For the past two 'days the city wa
ter has been unusually riley and
complaints are being freely made.
According to J. T. Brown, chairman
of the water commission, the dirt Is
due to the work that is being done
on the wing wall to the levee above
the water works.
This being the -case It would seem
there Is no remedy for the condition,
as it will require several weeks to
complte the extension of the wall. In
the meantime .water consumers will
.simply have to make the best of the
situation.

have been made for the reception.
That he Is his brother's keeper Is
believed by George Bowers of Dav
enport, Wash., who was here yester.
day upon a pathetic mission. Ho
came here to find a brother whom
he had not seen for 25 years and he
found him sick and In poverty. To
day the unfortunate brother is being
taken to Davenport, where he will be
given every , possible attention and
kindness.
The scene that was enacted here
yesterday when the two brothers met
was one that is more often read about
In fiction than witnessed in real life.
It was a pathetic meeting and the feel
ings of the two brothers may well be
Imagined when the facts in the case
are known.
Twenty-five years ago the Bowers
brothers were living on a farm In
Lane county, Oregon, and when Geo.
Bowers left the home ranch to take
up life for himself his brother Will,
was a hearty, robust youngster sev
eral years younger than himself.
Yesterday was the first time the
two brothers had met since that day
a quarter or a century ago. wnen
George Bowers found hLs brother yes
terday he found him an old man, gray
haired and In utter despair. He was
sick and waiting only for grim death
to take him out of" his misery.
"You can't Imagine how I felt
when I saw my brotner, said the
elder Bowers last evening. "I re
membered him as he was when I left
home, a happy, healthy boy, and it
was a terrible shock for me to find
him in the condition he was."
William Bo'wers, the Pendleton
1 rother, has been in this vicinity for
a numner or years, lie iormcny nau
a ranch or some Kina in spring noi-
low, but sold It. Since then he has
been living in town and of late has
bten In 111 health. His wife is dead
and his only comfort during his trou
ble was that received from his two
children.
Some time ago the little boy wrote
his uncle at Davenport telling mm
that his father was 111. The letter
caused the Davenport man to com.
t the rescue. But when he reached
here he found much difficulty In lo
cating his brother for no one seemed
to know him. Sheriff Taylor and
others familiar with the people of the
city freely gave their services, but no
cne could be found wh.o knew th
man that was sought. Yesterday th
anxious brother found a man In a
cigar store who knew of his brother
and told him where he could
found.
In an old shack In the west nd ot
town the stricken brother was found
In poverty "and misery. When found
he was down and out as far as the
world Is concerned and was anxious
only to die.
In the life battle he had fought
he had lost and he was ready to quit
But with the arrival of his brother
with his heart still filled with boyish
love for him the outlook became dif
ferent.
According to the older Bowers his
brother Is already better and he be
lieves that with the assistance and at
tention he will give him he will soon
be on his feet again. They left for
Davenport on the 12:30 train today,

Fred McConnell, who was in the
ity yesterday from Jullaetta, re
ports that the harvesting of the A ri
ms crop of new Alaska wheat is now
progress, says the Lewiston Tri
bune. !
"I am firmly convinced." he Said,
that this wheat under similar con
ditions to those governing the plant-
ng and cultivation of any other va
riety will show the treble yield of such
other variety. The threshing of a
mall patch of tM wheat has now
been completed. It returned an av
erage of 85 bushels an acre, while
the crop looked as though it would
not yield 10 bushels
"Only 40 pounds , of seed was used
to the acre. All tne iuu acres, m
scattering tracts, have now been cut
and will be threshed without delay.
There Is no doubt in my mina some
of this wheat will show returns of
100 bushels to the acre."
Mr. McConnel states that there Is
remarkable demand for the seed.
On Saturday, Mr. Adams, the owner,
shipped out abuot 20 bushels to fill
orders in various parts of the coun
try. He realizes $20 a bushel for the
seed, and will only sell a bushel on
a single order. He plans to make an
other shipment tomorrow.
The largest single tract sown this
year by Mr. Adams was on the bam
Bigham place on American Ridge.
The stand there was remarkably fine
and the yield will be an Immense one.
Should Mr. Adams sell his entire
crop at present prices, he will net a
big fortune this year. He has adopt
ed a plan of selling only In small
quantities for the double purpose that
the new grain can thus be Introduced
In practically all sections of Jhe Uni
ted states next season, while by this
method he will also 'control the seed
market. for a year or so.
The wheat will hortly receive a
111 test at the Johnson mill in Jul
laetta. Mr. McConnell states tnais
