DISEASE IS UN MILD FORM
Quarantine Restriction! Interfered
With Holiday Trade But Obaerv
ance Prevented Sickness.
After being closed three weeks, in
eluding one week of the holiday vaoa
tion, the Athena publio sohool opened
yesterday morning lor work in all the
different grades.
After the holiday recess the sohool
was not opened for the reason that
scarlet fever in a mild form made its
appearanoe in the town and in the
country neighborhoods. The health
authorities took the matter in hand at
once, and a rigid quarantine was in
augurated.
. Last week it was thought that the
school could be opened, bat two new
oases developed, and the direotors, act
ing with the health offloials deoided to
keep the sohool closed for another
week. This aotion proved to be a wise
one, for the oases have diminished un
til at the present time there are but
one or two homes in quarantine.
The quarantine restrictions, coming
as tney did in the holiday season,
affected business in Athena to a con
siderable extent, bnt business men
generally realized that the only true
and effeotve method to be enforced in
stamping out the disease was through
quarantine regulations, and no com
plaint was made whatever.

To Divide Wasco County.
Residents in the southern part of old
Wasco again have their batohets out
and if the coming legislature stands

A telephone message from Antelope
this morning conveys the news that the
people of that section have not given
up the division idea but are organizing
again for the purpose of slicing off a
strip of the country to the south and
calling it "Stookman" county. -The

0. R. & N. REFUSES TO PAY.
Brin s Suit In Walla Walla to Bet
Aside Assessment.
The Walla Walla Bulletin says:
An aotion was begun in the United
States Federal court this morning by
the O. R. & N. Railroad company to
restrain the county of Walla Walla
from collecting exoess taxes now delin
quent for the year 1904, in the sum of
$10,351.80.
In its complaint filed in ihe oflloeof
Deputy United States Clerk E. E.
Wright the O. R. & N. company sets
up the allegation that its taxes for
1904 were raised by the board of
equalization from $7500 to $10,000
per mile and it tenders the amount of
taxes on the valuation mada by the
assessor. The total amount of tLe
taxes for the year 1904 on the valuation
set by the board ot equalization
amounts to $35,646.89.
While all the reasons in the com
plaint are of a teobnioal nature, it is
understood that tbe railroad company
is preparing to make a vigorous fight
to avoid the payment of taxes on a
valuation of $10,000 a mile. This is
borne out by tbe array of legal talent
representing the road.
For Public Ownership.
The Oregon League for Publio
Ownership of Railroads, is tbe name of
a new organization which has just
been formed in Portland to promote
that sentiment in the state, says tho
East Oregonian. It has been started
by a few reformers and its member
ship is increasing rapidly in different
parts of the state where it has been
agitated. The president ia Hiram
Vrooman; treasurer, L. Humasou;
seoretary, C. L. Stewart, and the ad
visory council consists of a number of
prominent citizens of Oregon, includ
ing Assessor a P. Strain.
Three Burned to Death.
Three lives were lost and one child
so badly scorched it may die, in a fire
whioh destroyed tbe residence of N.F.
Fuohs at Cottonwood, near Lewiston
Saturday night. Tbe dead are Miss
Besthoff, a servant and the two Fuohs
obildreu. The origen of the fire is a
mystery. The father was way. His
wife was awakened to find her room
full of smoke. Grabbing tbe two
younger children she rushed through
tbe flames to safety. Miss Westhoff
and tbe'otLer children were sleeping
upstairs and were out off from escape.

The second oar load of coal to arrive
in Athena this winter, was reoeived
Friday night, and by dark Sunday
night every paund of it had been
doled in lots weighing from 600
pounds down to 200 pounds.
Like the first car, the seoond was
consigned from Portland by Hon. C.
A. Barrett, who personally, made ap
plication to tbe O. R. & N. railway
officials for the fuel. '
The first carload held ont in weight
and was distributed in small lots at
$6.25 per ton. The seoond carload
did not hold out in weight. In this
instance the coal was shipped in a
stook oar. When it arrived in Athena
the doors were open and the appear
ance indioated that some one bad
helped himself to a generous supply of
tbe fuel somewhere along the route.
In addition to this, muob of the fine
coal had sifted through the sides of
the stook oar while in transit, the re
sult being that the ear fell short in
weight about three tons. Thin

Mr. Barrett writes that it wn with

the fact that the railroad nnmnnnv is
