Most Respected Citizens
Our people were much grieved
Thursday when they learned of
the death the day before of L. M.
Woodside, which took place near
Portland. While the end had
been anticipated for some time
before it was reached, still his
passing away reminded many of
the final call which must come to
all, and they mourned with the
remaining members of the family
at the dissolution of who had
once been one of the enterpris
ing, upstanding and progressive
citizens of this section.
Louis Melvin Woodside was
born in Marion county, Oregon,
July 23, 1857, and was 68 years,
8 months and 8 days of age at
the time of his death. On Janu
ary 15, 1879, he was united in
xnarrage with Nettie McKec. To
this union eight children were
born, six of whom survive: L.
D., Walter, Louis and Ralph"
Woodside, all residents of Wap
initia; Mrs. Mattie Olsen of
Shaniko, and Mrs. Lela Driver
of The Dalles. He also leaves a
widow and a brother, Albert, of
Mulino, Oregon.
Mr, Woodside came to Wasco
county in 1889, making a home
near Wapinitia and rearing hU
family there. He resided in
that lrwnlitv for 37 vears. having

Tramp Sheep Herder ,
Wields Butcher Knife
A fracas occurred at one of
the McLennon lambing camps
one day last week and as a con
sequence George Roe, cook at
the camp, is nursing a badly cut
hand. The knife wielder carried
a grouch and was complaining
about his work. Roe dropped
his bread making and carrying
the mixing fork went out doors
and asked the herder why he
did not quit if be was not satis
fied with his job. The herder
took umbrage at Roe's remarks
and reaching into the shack
grabbed a butcher knife and pro
ceeded to carve up the cook.
Roe grabbed the weapon and in
doing so suffered severe cuts
across all the fingers of the right
hand.
The herder made a quick get
away and Roe came to town and
had the injured members dres

to successfully irrigate one acre
of lapd, availaije water supply
that can be developed; storage
capacity, and supply at Clear
Lake; number of acres which 1 prosecute this work with the

STANFILD WINS OUT
WITH GRAZING BILL
Cabinet Officials Apprort His Grazing
Draft as Equally Fair to Large and
Snail Stockmen-Aids Livestock
Industry and Yield Revenue to the
State.
United States Senator Robert
N.. Stanfield, as chairman of the
committee on public lands, has
scored a big victory for Oregon
and the West by obtaining
governmental approval of the re
vised draft of his bill to put the
livestock industry on a sound and
permanent basis. This Mil pro
vides for unsalaried grazing
boards, composed of three mem
bers of each grazing district and
elected by the livestock raisers
using the lands.
Of monies received 10 per
cent is set aside for range im
provements and 25 per cent for
the benefit of public schools and
public roads.
Secretary Work, of the Inter
ior Department, has written
Senator Stanfield: "The re
draft of your grazing bill is a
constructive measure which will
result in definite and positive
benefit to the livestock industry.
It will permit the use of public
lands, under proper regulations,
by both large and small livestock
raisers."
Senator Stanfield's committee
has unanimously recommended
the passage of the bill.
A new senator would be barred
by the senate's ironclad seniority
rule from holding such a power
ful chairmanship and, therefore,
would be unable to advance such
important legislation through
the committee and pass it in the
senate.

paign, E. D. Cusick, Mgr.)
Shipping Ironing Boards
The Hartman Ironing Board
factory at Wapinitia is now em
ploying several men in the manu
facture of the improved board,
invented and patented by A.
Lincoln Hartman. Recently Mr.
Hartman shipped a gross of
boards to Portland and orders are
coming in so fast that the capa
city of his factory is taxed to
the utmost to supply the demand.
Easter Program Praised
As Being Best Ever
The Easter program rendered
at the church Sunday evening
was a pleasant surprise to the
many who attended. The little
ones said their lines and sung
their songs with a clearness and
ease surprising to all. The vocal
solos by Mrs- H. Woodcock and
Mrs. R. E. Wilson and the man
dolin solo by Miss Winifred
Kaiser elicited much favorable
comment. Perhaps the crowning
number of the evening was the
quarted number, "And Shall It
Ever Be." The voices of the
singers blended in beautiful har
mony, while the expression en
nunciated was equal to that of
choirs in the churches of larger
Cities.
The remarks of Rev. Aldridge
anent the occasion were timely
and showed much study of the,
crucifixion and rising of Jesus
Christ.
The church was beautifully
decorated with flowers and foli-
i age and all attending seemed
j filled with the sanctity of the
j time,
Dufur Bests The Dalles
Dufur and The Dalles opened
the Mid-Columbia season Sun
day by playing a game at The
Dalles. Dufur proved to much
for The Dalles, taking the game
by a score of 91. A succession
of errors helped the Dufur ag
gregation to pile up a big lead,
although, that team played a
superior article of base ball
Clarence Ziggenhagen, 03car
Renick and Art Morris of Mau
pin played on the county seat
team. Next Sunday The Dalles
and Hood River teams clash on
the Hood River diamond and a
much better game is promised by
The Dalles players. ,
"Lost" Son Returns
Lawrence Powell is visiting at
the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Powell of Juniper
Flat. About a year ago Law-
rence mysteriouslly disappeared
from his home and for a long!
time nothing was known as to
his whereabouts. His return
here last week was a joyous
surprise, as his mother, has been
seriously ill and worried a great
deal about her son.

Thief Gets Drums
Someone who had an ear for
time, if not harmony, abstracted
a set of trap drums from the
Shady Brook hall some
time last week. The back door
of the hall was left unlocked and
whoever, took the drums was
evidently aqcuainted with the
fact. Tracks showed that an
auto had been driven up to the
hall and, after the drums had
been loaded, had driven away.
There is no clue as to who may
have taken the time beaters, but
the make is known and a look
out will be kept up for their
present location. ' ' 'y

TIMES MAN VISITS
. S1KYM1NTAIN
large Arched Opening Instead of
Fissure Vomiting Smoke :
Face of Ascending Cliff Covered
With Tar-Lilce Substance
Another Care Is Seen
Pulling one handle of a speed
er the editor of The Times accom
panied John Foley to a place a
quarter mile above McLennon
station last Sunday. He went
to make a personal investigation
of the reported "volcano," men
tion of which wa3 made in these
columns some time ago. ,
Arriving at the foot of the
cliff from which the smoke
comes, we ascended the hill to
the mouth of the cave. There
we found that the smoke came
not from a crevice, as - was first
reported, but from a cavern.
At the foot of the cliff there is
an arched opening, about six
feet at the base and nearly four
feet high. The cavern itself is
about 12 feet deep and from 16
to 18 feet in width, the roof be
ing arched. ' Directly opposite
the opening there is another
hole. This is about three feet
wide ana 18 inches in height
When the wind rolled the smoke
away sufficient for clear vision
we threw stones down the small
er opening and it seemed about
two second before the sound of
their rolling ceased. The floor
of the second cavern seemed
to be of sand rather than
stone, as there was no sound as
of stone bouncing against stone.
The smudge rolling from the
cavern in clouds seemed to come
from another hole at the right
of the opening It has an odor
similar to that given off by burn
ing crude oil or tar, and is most
disagreeable to inhale, causing
one to strangle and burning the
lungs for a long time.
On the face of the "cliff above
the opening is a deposit of what
appears to be sulphur, being
yellow on top. When scraped
from the stone it was found to
be somewhat similar to tar, and
emenated a peculiar odor. The
grass around the opening has
died, a fact that would indicate
gas of some sort
The opening is about 150 feet
above the railroad, and is one
of three apertures in the moun
tain side. It will require an as
say by a geologist to ascertain
the properties of the deposit on
the stone. The idea that" the
smudge is caused by fire being
communicated to the bed of
porcupines is hardly ter.able.
The vapor was first noticed Feb
uary 17 and has varied in vol
ume since that time. Had it
been vegetation burning it vould
not have carried the pungent
odor we experienced, rather a
sweet acrid smell.
The cave, can be, reached bv
motoring to the Troutman ranch
and then footing it about a mile
or so and climbing down the hill.
Want Open Meetings
A petition was 'presented to
the board of this consolidated
school district on Monday asking
that notice of future meetings
be given the public. Our citi
zens are desirous that they, know
when school meetings are sched
uled, as many of them want to
attend such and learn just what
takes place at those times.
