Foster of Nye, Oregon, la thought to be the oldest resident ot t'matilla county and perhaps of east ern Oregon, having reached the age of 109 years. George L. Horseirlan of Weston, who has known the old gentleman for thirty years, says that he is Mill quite spry and hearty, and bids fair to celebrate several more birthday anniversaries. Mr. Foster has lived In this county for half a century or more, having a small stock ranch on Hlg Mutter creek below Vin son. He seldom" leaves his ranch and Is known to but few people as a aen ttnarlan outside of his own neighbor hood. Not long ago an argument ever his age was brought up among his friends and he was asked to set tle It. but replied he had forgotten the exact number of fears. A neigh bor thereupon wrote to Mr. Foster's home county in England, and found from the records that he is 109." EXPLOSION AT BAKER SMASHES WINDOWS RAKER, Ore., June 18. Traveling was dangerous and glaziers were rushed in Prairie City as the result of the explosion of three tons of gi ant powder In a mining powder house a quarter of a mile from that city. The cause of the explosion is still a mystery. Prairie City people were shaken from their beds and every store win dows shattered; doors were forced in and dishes were shattered from shelves. Citizens thought, it was an earthquake and were in a panic throughout the night. The main street was strewn with glass and many will have to go without window- panes until an extra shipment is re ceived there. The damage is eat! mated at 120V. (ilrl Turns Out Aunt, 7.1.

It Is esti mated that as a result of the Euro pean war from 1100,000,000 to $150, 000,000 which heretofore was spent abroad by American tourists will re main In the United States. Statistics show that approximately 150.000 Am ericans have been in the habit of go ing abroad during the summer months each year. It Is estimated that each one spends on an average from 500 to f 1000 on the trip. Of the total amount expended by Amer icans abroad fully two-thirds goes to pay hotel bills and transportation. It is estimated that no less than (5,000. 000 is given away in the form of tips. The balance of the vast expen diture goes for amusements and va rious Incidentals. The payments for steamship fares alone amounted to something like J20,000,000. At least 90 per cent of those who went abroad jg in rormer years will remain at home. A large proportion of them will de vote their time and money to seeing America. Not only will this result in adding to the prosperity of the United States through the fact that a hundred million dollars ordinarily transferred abroad will be kept at home, but it is predicted also that it will give permanent impetus to the "See America First- movement .and d th staff of physicians will develop among the LET US SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME AND STRENGTH Enjoy the Chautauqua MONDAY, JUNE 21st Flat Work 35c ONE DOZEN PIECES This means sheets, bed spreads, pillow slips, table cloths and all other flat pieces, called for and delivered.

Events of the past two weeks have given a tremendous impetus to the i of this treatment. movement for a larger navy. The presence here of the North Atlantic fleet for review by the president brought home to the public as noth ing else could that the navy is the one reliance on which the country must depend for upholding Its rights. It is doubtful If the plea of Inade quate revenues will again be allowed ed that conditions among the army of . habitual drug users Id the city will be greatly improved as a result It was discovered several days ago that several hundred fish found re cently floating on the surface of one of New York's park lakes did not commit suicide. Nor did ome un kind hand drop enough - rat bis cupt into the pool to kill them off. Instead they were drowned, right in to stand in the way of the adoption the same water that they had inhab of a more extensive program of naval ited for some time. That was the construction.

The report of the National Protective Society ot Accidents last month due to vehicle traffic on the streets of New York City, made public recently, shows au tomobiles killed 30 persons, 14 ot whom were children. Trolleys caused the death of 5 and wagons 11. In the state outside of New York City during May 24 persons were kill ed by automobiles. In New Jersey 14 were killed by automobiles, 1 by trol ley and 2 by wagons. , f put forward is that Instead of remov ing the revenue tariff on sugar which is scheduled to be dropped next May, the present rate of duty be retained and the proceeds applied to provid ing an adequate fleet. The figure of the treasury department Just pub lished, show that the sugar duty brings in J50.000.000 a year and In twenty years has yielded over $1. 000. 000. oho. The advocates of this plan show that the 150,000,000 a year now drawn from sugar would pro vide half a dozen battleships annu al ', or four of the largest type of dreadnoughts and twenty submarines. Whatever the method to be adopted, a vast number of Americans have come to the conclusion within recent days that the United States must be better proteced, paricularly In tho naval branch. Several days ago three boys who were digging a trench in mimic war-, fare on the site of old Fort Inde-i pendence here unearthed what is said to be the largest number of revolu-1 tionary war relics ever found in New 1 York city. The find of Continental army munitions Included 250 cannon' balls about the size of a cocoanat, j both solid and shell: 100 bar shot, j 30 expanding bar shot, many ball and . chain shot, a hundred pound mortar' shot and a fifty pound bar shot. Au.l thorities upon the revolutionary war, history of New York who have exam-j Ined the relics say that undoubtedly ( these children In their play have hltj upon the spot, long sought, where' General Washington ordered Colonel Lasher, in command of Fort Inde pendence, to bury his ammunition and guns and retreat before the ad vancing Hessians from the north. It is believed that further excavations will uncover still greater stores and probably many cannon will be found ! The hoys who made the find struck ; the first cannon ball only two feet below the surface. As they eontin- ued to dig they uncovered others and ; soon were throwing cannon balls outj of the hole as fast as they could dig. Their shouts attracted not only their parents but all the neighbors. Au thorities on New York's history who ! live In the vicinity were summoned and they recalled the order given by i Washington on October 27, 1776, and identified the relics. Much of tha ammunition has been sent to the old Jumet Mansion, now a museum con ducted by the Daughters of the Rev olution. Many of the pieces are con sidered rare. The expanding bar , shot, consisting of two Iron balls connected by a rod that expanded upon leaving the cannon, are partic ularly prised on account of their rar ity, j Through the generosity of a group of New York women whose names are withheld the city will soon be en abled to give dally treatment to 150 additional drug victims. The necea; sity for treatment of this character became obvious Immediately after the Harrison bill aimed at Illegal dealers in narcotics became effective on Ap ril 1. From the very beginning sta tion houses were being besieged by the users of "dope"' who were made desperate when the supply was sud denly cut off. The plans for ex pending the fund which has been do nated for this purpose are such that It will go much further than might be supposed. A building will be er ected on Hiker's Island by convict labor, but representing only a small cost. When the building is complet- lack of oxygen In the pond. This condition was brought about by the vagaries of this spring's temperature, and is known to scientists as "lake bloom." These changes absorbed almost all the oxygen In the water. A similar accident occurred In a neigh boring lake in 1906. Dead Man's Check In Snit. BAKER. Ore.. June Is.
