Itaker, Ore., June 1. The little
town of North Powder has been se
lected by Armour & Company as the
location for u big packing plant,' em
ploying 1500 men, to handle the
firm's livestock und packing business
of the northwest. This information
is contained In a letter to the Powder
Valley Hank there from P. D. -Armour,
who says that the reason North
Powder was chosen was because of
the facilities for handling and car
ing for such a business here.
This decision follows the visit of
Mr. Armour and party to North
Powder some time lust week. Many
other points were visited in the north
west, but this place won the plant.
Easy access to a large liny growing
territory, feed and water makes this
point ideal for this sort of a plant.
The plant Armour & Company ex
pect to erect is to cost $500,000 and
will be one of the most modern plants
for the slaughtering of stock and
(lacking of meats in the country.

Word Is Received from Milton-Free-Water
That Schedule Be Extended
to September 1 Four Team league
Advocated.
Do the fans of Pendleton want sum
mer baseball? Do they want the Blue
Mountain league seson to extend on
through the months of July and Au
gust and will such a venture pay
These are the questions which are
confronting Manager Clark Nelson
and the other members of the Pendle
ton club, and which they will be call
ed upon to answer one way or the
other.
Manager Nelson received a tele
phone message from the Milton-Free-water
club this morning stating that
the fans in the fruit towns are de
manding .an extension ef the season
until September 1. Walla Walla of
ficials had previously voiced a sim
ilar desire and they want two more
of the clubs, preferably Pendleton
and Athena, to Join with the other
two to make a four-team league dur
ing the summer months.
Manager Nelson is a little dubious
as to the extent of the support he
would receive from the town on such
a proposition. He remembers that
there are some mighty hot days in the
middle of the summer and there are
many of the Pendleton people absent
at summer resorts. These two fac
tors combine to make him hesitate
about continuing the schedule, al
though, personally, he expresses a
strong desire to do so. Others of the
fans, however, are confident in as
serting that summer baseball would
be a paying proposition and are ea
ger to Join in with Walla Walla and
Milton.
It is a little early yet to make any
definite decision and the matter will

brother, Lewis Crowe on Blue creek
thirteen miles east of that city. The
Walla Walla Union this morning tells
the story of the accident, as follows:
Mr. Crow in company with three
other workmen were at work blast
ing. making preparations for the ex
cavatlon for a barn. The men had
loaded two holes 36 inches with dy
namite to which they had attached
fuses. After lighting the charges they
repaired to the rear of a barn which
stood near the place and awaited the
explosion. After hearing the report
the men approached the hole to find
that only one of the charges had ex

six feet from tne pit alter imaing

Hood River, Ore., June 1. Dr.
Kmil Enna, a prominent Portland
musician, who Is writing the musical
score for an opera to be staged dur
ing the Astoria centennial celebration,
lias been several days here convers
ing with the many Indian berry-pickers,
who swarm the valley at this sea
son of the year, in an endeavor to
gain from them some motif which he
could work into the opera for the In
dian dances.
The production on which Dr. Enna
is working is based upon the facts
surrounding the coming of Astor to
the Pacific coast and the struggle be
tween the Americans and English for
supremacy in the country of the Co
lumbia river. The opera will require
a large chorus and will be the prin
cipal attraction of historical Interest
at the Astoria celebration. The In
dians will, of course, play an Import
ant part In the dramatic historical
recital. Dr. Enna says Hood River
valley reminded him more of the
country along the Rhine in Germany
than any other country he had ever
visited.

A love affair Is said to be the
cause of the princess' voluntary re
tlrement from the world. The sud'
den death of her lover, shortly before
the date fixed for their wedding, 20
years ago, unbalanced her mind, and
she shut herself into two rooms in
kl died of starvation in her magnitl
or admit any one to them.
For the last two decades she lived
like a hermit In these two rooms, re
ceivlng her meals from an old atten
dant, who placed the food in the f'rst
room while the princess hid, in the
second room.
The attendant, although serving her
meals dally three times, never saw
the princess during the 20 years she
remained In retirement from the
world. Princess Shachawoskol, who
had taken her whole realizable for
tune Into her rooms, paid for each
meal separately, leaving the money
in the other room for the attendant.
Once when the governor of Moscow
paid a visit of inspection to the pal
ace for the purpose of ascertaining
what had become of the princess she
shrieked abuse at him from, behind
closed doors of her apartments and
threatened to commits suicide If he
attempted to force entrance to her re
treat.
The governor thereupon appointed
the Countess Tournay guardian of the
princess, ana this Indy, with the help
of a legal adviser, administered the
princess' vast estates and kept the
remainder of her palace In order.
The princess was found dead Sun
day and a post mortem examination
showed that death was from starva
tion. The police found $500,000 hid
den In a mattress and In other nooks
and corners of the inner room, which
had not been entered by any one in
20 years save the princess.
