Hundreds of tiers of wheat sacks tore being piled up in Athena's big warehouses, and the bulk of this sea son's crop is now safe under shelter, but wheat hauling is not over yet, by any means. . ''-' t .'; The sacjr bucks working in ; Athena warehouses are having . a breathing spell, as it were. The big rush of wheat hauling has abated to some ex tent; and the boys axe seeing daylight through the blockade of thousands of sacks of wheat For a time their efforts spelled but little against the steady tide of wheat pouring in from nearby farms. The warehouses became completely blocked up, and not having time to "pile up," hundreds of tiuck loads, five sacks high were dumped on the platforms outside the buildings. Now, that the first rush is over, the Lava find time to pile, the result being that the differ ent storage nouses are once, more in order. . fr-g-iU'.l By the time the last load of grain is delivered, the bouses will be filled to full capacity In the big Ware houses of the Fuget Sound company and the Paoiflo Coast Elevator com pany, nearly all the wheat in storage was purchased by the Preston-Parton Milling company, and is the overflow which fonnd no storage roon. at the Mill warehouse.

"Meet Me at the fountain!" r MAIN 83 & Athena, Oregon IS STILL SEARCHING Father of Cecil Brittan in the Moun tains Again, Accompanied . i'By a Clarivoyant. - . In the hope that the remains of little Cecil Brittan, who disappeared a year ago while the family was in camp at Tollgate may be found in the tim ber in the Neighborhood of the camp ing plaoe Mr. add Mrs. Biittan, a clairvoyant, and two gentlemen from Seattle have gone ; to Toll Gate says the Walla Walla Union, and will make a thorough examination of the mountains in the immediate vi cinity of .!the plaoe whore the family was in camp when the child wandered away and 'was lost ; During the past year Mr Brittan has spared no pains to gain information regarding his lost son, and as the kid naping theory was given credence, the father has at various times made long journeys, in response to telegrams in forming him - that Cecil had ' been fonnd, but always found that the clew bad been an erroneous one, and that the whereabouts of the child was as much of a mystery as ever. "Frequently telegrams are received by Mr. Brittan that a child answering the description of his lost son has been seen, in some far-off city with a band of roving gypsies, but investigation always reveals the fact that the ohild is not Cecil, and the heart-broken fatherafter traveling for days in the hope of finding his boy, returns home downhearted and sad, but always ea ger to take up a new clew which gives hope that Cecil . may ' be returned to bid home and parents. Numerous other clairvoyants have gone to the) Toll Gate country, certain that they could find the remains of the boy, but z the result has always been the same. , STRUCKtBY PASSENGER TRAIN Freewater Farmer Has Narrow Escape From Being Killed.

W. Carlile, being without means to pro vide for his living or treatment, says the Westou Leader. Mr. Carlile says the oounty authori ties were notified that he was coming with the patient bnt nobody was at hand to receive him when he arrived at the Pendleton depot. There had been an hour's delay in waiting for a lute train at Weston, and Taylor was in an exhausted condition. Mr. Car lile oalled up the oounty physioian, saying that his charge needed atten tion, but without going to the depot that oflioial notined him to com muni oate with the oounty hospital. This Mr. Carlile suooeeded in doing through tbe sheriff's offloe, although the sheriff, whom Jie hunted up. at first informed him that his time was occupied with well people and the sick were not his affair. . ,- In about two hours after Taylor had been landed at Pendleton a haok came for him from the oounty hospital, Nostretoher or mattress was provided, and although nearly "all in" the feverstrioken patient had to ride on the seat until the oounty farm on Mo Kay creek, some two miles distant, was reached. Mansfield Finds Rat. Doc" Mansfield, a obarter member of Athena's "Neversweat Club" is entitled to wear the medal as cham pion rat oatcber, and on the medal honorable mention should be made of David Taylor's heroism. David started the game by starting the rat in "Doo's'' direction. The pesky ro dent with Taylor in hot pursuit was making for the sewer pipe eutrauce in front of Parker's barber shop. The raoe was so hot between rat and man that the rat missed the sewer pips and darted up "Doo's" pantaloons. With a composure bordering on delirium tremens Mr. Mansfield olutobed at tho waistband of his trousers and held the rat oaptive until it was released by a bystander (not Taylor, as has been reported) who threw it into the street, where a nimble little fox ter rior quickly dispatobed it. Oh ! ladies, wasn't it,a terrible experience? Some Graceful "Skates." The skating rink craze has struck Athena for sure. Three nights out of the week are devoted to this exonera ting and wabbly sport.

He had the satisfaction, however, of excelling in graoeful skidding, Hizz onor Cartoonist Hawks, and exbuber ated in the knowledge that his gyrat iug aorobatio stunts did not make as deep indentures in the fioor as those made by that high roller, "Ans" Fobs.
