"When the Pendleton-Walla Walla
lnterurban line is built Wild Horse

come strewn with small farms and
the land will become more than
doubled in value."
This declaration was made here
this morning by Charles W. Myers,
formerly In the newspaper business
here, but who is now a Walla Walla
real estate man.
In connection with his business Mr.
Myers has had occasion to observe
closely the effects of the electrical
line between Milton and Walla
Walla.
"The building of that line has caus
ed the land along the line to advance
from 1200 per acre to prices as high
as $700 and $800 per acre. When
the lnterurban line Is built to this
city the land between here and Athe
ne, is sure to undergo a similar ad
vance in value, though the Increase
In price may not be as great.
"Pendleton people have no cause
to fear because they will be connect

Richard Troxol. who met death In

a former resident of this city, known
ac "Dirk" by many local friends.
Troxol wag employed as cook at the

office at Portland to Investigate a box
of snakes consigned to F. Ritchie, a
Portland showman. Troxel played
with the reptiles as though they were
harmless, ns earthworms.
One snake, a big fellow with 12
rattles, was In an ugly mood. The
"charmer" was warned that he meant
trouble, but laughed, declaring that
the snakes had been "fixed."
A few moments later when this
snake struck Troxel In the hand the
man paid little attention to the wound
other than suckjng It vigorously.
Within five minutes, however, he
was unconscious, and was taken to the
hospital, where death followed. When
the surgeons cut Into the wound they
found that the snake's fang had been
left In the flesh.

NOli PUNS FOR
TALK OF PERMANENT.
BUILDINGS NEXT YEAR
I'roMem of Trunsortatlon Alone Rc
nuilns to lie Solved Comliiff of ln
terurban Hoped for Race Track
Also In List of Permanent Improve
ment In Contemplation.
Permanent buildings will house the
Umatilla-Morrow district fair next
year if the present management Is
continued In charge of the big show
which it has made so successful.
Although the management as yet
has made no plans for future fairs.
as It has not yet completed the clos
ing up of this year's exposition, It Is
understood that the men who at pres
ent control the destinies of the asso
ciation favor permanent buildings
and that if the problems of transpor
tation are solved and they continue In
management the fair next year will
not only be better In the character of
Its displays, but in the housing of the
displays.
Judge Fitz Gerald has not yet com
pleted paying nil the bills Incurred by
the last fair, although but few remain.
The amounts of these bills will corres
pond almost exactly with the amount
of cash now on hand In the treas
ury. As soon as the affairs of the asso
ciation for this year are dosed up the
fair management will Issue a report
of receipts and expenditures which
will also embrace several recommen
dations ns to the future policy. Just
what these recommendations will
Consist In the directors do not at pres
ent care to discuss.
IneriiiiMiii May Solve Irobleni.
In case of acquiring permanent
buildings the asoclatlon will face the
problem of transportation. It has
been suggested that if the lnterurban
road comes through by next year and
a location can be secured within a
reasonable distance of town where
buildings for the exhibits can be erect
ed and a track, preferably a mile
track, can be built that a stock com
pany be organized and undertake the
work. Another plan Is to secure
simply a location for buildings and
maintain the same pleasant social ar
rangements that have made the fair
a success under present conditions. In
case this scheme Is adopted It has
been recommtnded that the lots be
longing to the city near the water
pumping station be secured for the i
purpose.
Did Not Arrive.
Judge Scott, who was expected to
arrive In Pendleton last evening for
the purpose of conferlng with local
business men on the subject of the

PRESERVING BABY'S VOICE.
Enterprising Talking Machine Iro
motors Do Big Business.
A gramophone and phonograph
dealer In New York has opened out
a new branch of the business which
promises to become very lucrative.
Procuring a dally list of the births
publicly announced, he sends out a
circular to the parents, offering to
take, for a small fee, a clear and dls.
tlnct record of the "prattle" of the
dear baby.
The manager of a well known
gramophone company recently said It
was possible to obtain good records
of a baby's voice on the phonograph.
"It could not be done on the gramo
phone," he said, "but by placing the
wax cylinder of a phonograph close
to the baby's mouth, or by taking the
bnby close to the cylinder, the record
could be obtained. In the case of a
very young Infant, however, there
would be likely to be more noise than
prattle.
"There are possibilities In this line
of the business. The first cries and"
speeches of embryo presidential can
dldates could be prcseved to be
brought up against them In after life,
or handed over to nn admiring na
tion. It w ould be possible to' retain
the first sounds Issuing from the lips
of nil our future celebrities If the
practice became general.
"Men who are compelled to be part
ed from their families for any length
of fiip could also be fitted up with
a phonograph and carry about with
them the sounds of their offspring's
voices.
"Fresh records could be sent on to
them from time to time from homo,
so that fond fathers could In this way
follow from notes the growth and de
velopment of their children."
