WAS GIBBON MURDERED
Suspicions Exist as to the Death of
Former Weston Man.
The Walla Walla Statesman says of
the recent death of William MoQibbon
at Wallula : ., i
Because there have been two mur
ders committed in Wallula within the
past fow weeks, residents of the com
munity believe there were reasons for
another when MoGihbon was found
dead in bis stable about six miles
from Wallula.
"Neighborhood gossip has it the man
was murdered and his body then
thrown under the manger, where it
would seem likely a horse had kicked
him, causing the death.
MoGibbon. who was an Odd Fellow,
was more than SO years old. A com
munication sent to the Wallula Gate
way and signed by an Odd Fellow
urges that a thorough investigation be
made.
About nine o'clook in tbo evening
before he was found, he got out of
bed and told bis wife he must go to
town after a hired man. That was the
last seen of him alive. It is said the
horses, one of which kicked him, were
both 'old and gentle.
A careful investigation by the au
horities fails to reveal any showing of
a crime having been committed. Cor
oner MaoMartin was called but decid
ed a u inquest waa unnecessary. He
said today be would probably hold an
inquest to satisfy those who' believed
a murder had been committed.

10 II
Days Set Apart for Cleaning
Up City of Athena.
CLEANING UP NOW GOING ON
Athena Home Owners Will Not
All of the Work Be Done on
Those Two Days.
Let
Remembering that Wednesday and
Thursday, April 10 and 11, are the two
days Bet apart by the mayor in which
to clean np Athena, residents of the
town have already taken bold of rase
and shovel, with the objeot in view of
not leaving all the work to be per-'
formed on those two days.
The idea advanced by Mayor Pla
mondon in the matter of plaoing the
towu districts with a member of tbe
city conncil to superintend the work
iu eaoh district is recognized as being a
good one, and promises to greatly fa
cilitate the labor of being about better
sanitary conditions and boantifying
Atbena.
Dnring the past few days many piles
of disease-breeding and unsightly de
bris and rubbish have been ratced tip
and burned. Portions of alleys and
vacant lots bave also reoeived atten
tion, tbe refuse having been carted
away.
Should good weather prevail and
the work continue as it has during
the last few days the bulk of the
cleaning up will have been accom
plished before the dates named have
arrived, and only the finishing touches
will remain to be put on.
HOLDS UP UNIVERSITY FUND
State Orange Demands Referendum
on Appropriation.
The University of Oregon appropri
ation bill is to be referred to the peo
ple. Lfforts of Linn County Grang
ers to' hold up the university bill
culminated in a meeting of represen
tatives of all grange organizations of
Linn County in Albany.
Besides the grangers there were iu
attendance President P. I. Campbell
of the University, and Senator M. A.
Miller, member of tbe board of regents
of tbe sohool. These men presented
very strongly the university's case
showing the need of more money than
was appropriated.
The $125,000 carried in the bill Was
segregated by President Campbell,
who explained the use to be made of
every dollar. But tbo grangers were
obdurate and at tbe close of tbe con
ference decided to use the referendum
to hold tbo appropriation up until tbe
next general election, when tbe people
will determine tbe fate of tbe sohool.
But little argument was used iu sup
port of the position of the Grange,
other than "retrenchment." It was
also decided to have reproduced an
editorial printed in the Oregoniau of
Saturdav, February 11, 1905, entitled,
Machine Made Citizens," and scat
ter thousands of copies over tbe state.
Found Artesian Water.
A correspondent from North Yakima
says:
Twelve miles from this city in a
barren sagebrush section of tbo Moxee
valley, wbiob as a matter of fact is
tbe riobest soil iu Yakima county,
when under water, J. H. Rose yester
day struok an immense flow of artesian
water after going down 1000 feet.
The water gushes forth at a rate of
two and a half cubio feet per second,
tbe largest flow ever found in central
Washington, Tbe well is surrounded
by thousands of aores of land wbiob
will soon be made to blossom like the
rose. The strike almost caused a panio
among tbe real estate men here who
for tbe past six months bave been sell
ing land in this region at remarkably
low prices. Other wells will be sunk
at once.
To Remodel Fair Grounds. ,
Twenty prisoners from tbe State
prison were detailed under Guards
Elmer White and Frank Benson to
commenoe work on the' fairgrounds
Monday morning. All of tbe old
buildiugs that are worthless will be
torn down and replaced by modem
structures. Such lumber as can be
utilized will bo saved, but a general
plan of reconstruction will be carried
out, and it is tbe purpose of tbe Board
to get the ' buildings and grounds in
the best condition they bave ever
been.
Tbe latest in dress gouds, nien'a and
toys' clothing is being opeaed at
Manasse's Up-to-Date store.
THEY NEED WOMAN'S CARE
Lewiston Man Advertises For a Fe
male to Help Him.
W. D. Bobbins of Lewiston, has
come to tbe conclusion that to be a
successful ohioken raiser one must
have a woman around trie place. He
contends that chicks need the tender
care of a woman cince the introduction
cf the incubator. And with a view to
carrying his deals to practical lines,
he advertises iu the Spokesman-Review
for a woman to come down upon his
ohioken ranch and help him raise
fowls.
Mr. Robbins speoiOes that the
woman must be more than middle age,
adding:
"I don't waut no triflers. This is a
busiuess proposition. I conteud that
chickens need a little tender oare and
attention which they cannot got from
a man. For that reason I have adver
tised for a woman to help me. I do
not objeot to children, provided, of
oourso, as I specify iu my 'ad,' that
they are uuder good control."
Mr. Robbins is a man about 60 years
of age, a vetorau of the civil war, who
has led a frontiersman's life since be
was a little chap. For more than 87
years ho has rnado tbo Lewiston valley
his borne, and is known to everyone.
His.cbiokeu ranch is about three
miles en st of Lewiston, on the North
ern PaciQo rond.

two unlawful dams and removed these
obstructions. One of tbem was outside

warden there.
' These creeks, once famous trout
streams, are now clear for Osb except
