Ill FAMOUS CABU1
Located On McKay Creek, Entrymen
Sar It Served As Home for
Sixty Homesteaders.
A Pendleton dispatob to tbe Spokesman-Review
says an effort by others
accused to show tbat William Babe,
oue of tbe men leoently indioted by tbe
federal grand jary, looated stout 60
entrymeu iu one little cabin on tbe
headwaters of tbe McKay creek, will
be one of tbe features of tbe approach
ing land frand trials, accoiding to
several of tbe Peudletoa witnesses who
are retaining from Portland, wbere
tbey were compelled to tell wbat tbey
knew of tbe transactions in tbis county.
Many of them were among tbe entry
men wbo say tbey bad 'been made to
telieve tbe cabin mentioned was tbeira
and was on tb land on wbicb tbey
bad Died, whereas tbe land in many
instances was from two to eight miles
distant
Muoh evidence bas been taken on
this point, photographs of tbe cabin
have been made and there is no doubt
bat that it will figure in tbe (rials.
Aocording to the story of witnesses,
the plan was easily worked, inasmuch
as many of those filing on tbe unallot
ted Indian lands did so purely for
speculative purposes and with no in
teution of keeping tbe land permanen
tly. Tbey therefore hired Babe to
locate them, tbey deolare, and then
employed him to bnild their cabins
and fJaka tbe other improvements con
sidered necessary. Ibe entrymen
would then be taken oat to bis claim 1
and showed tbe cabin, "bis resi
dence." Believing tbat this cabin was
really on tbe land for which he bad
made a filing, tbe eutryman now
claims be oould innocently swear tbat
he bad a bouse and improvements on
his claim.
In tbis manner, some of tbe defend
ants allege, title was seoured to hun
dreds of acres and immediately passed
on to tbe men who were alleged to be
engineering tbe proposition. These
are statements wbiob are being pre
sented to tbe federal grand jury now in
Bossioa by tbe large part of the 113
witnesses subpoenaed from Pendleton
and vioinity.
In many instances entrymen looated
their own claims, made their own im
provements and knew wbat tbey were
doiug and where tbey were, bat the
majority of tbe unallotted acres of
Indian land was filed upon by men

BELIEVED DEJJEE LIVES
Former Pendleton Man Now at Port
land, Says Machinist.
Tbongb supposed to be dead P. H.
Fee, formerly of Pendleton, is alive
and well, according to James Neaglc
of tbe firm of Neagle Brothers and one
of tbe leading machinists and black
smiths in tbat oity. Neagle knew Fee
well for many years and be declares
tbat while in Portland attending tbe
rose carnival be met Fee on tbe street
and spoke to him, despite tbe fact
tbat tbe latter was supposed to have
been drowned in Cowlitz county,
Washington, about two months ago.
Aooording to tbe reports of tbe trag
edy, as made at tbe time it was sup
posed to have occurred, Fee, who was
a detective, was drowned while at
tempting to cross tbe river near Ariel
on a log boom. It was said tbat be
was on tbe trail of a criminal and wag
trying to reaob a logging oamp, wbere
tbe fellow was at work.
Though tbe missing man was a
brother of Judge James A. Fee, former
mayor of Pendleton, tbe latter had
had a falling out with bis brother, and
is said to have made no effort to as
certain tbe truth of tbe report or to
recover bis brother's body. Tbe latter
lived in Portland, and his wife and
three ohildren are still there, tbe
family having moved from Pendleton
about five years ago. One boy makes
bis borne with his uncle in Pendleton.
Neagle says tbat Fee admitted to him
tbat be allowed the report of bis
drowning to be oiroulated and go un
contradicted for a purpose.

Sumpter Valley Road Making Exten
sive Improvements.
Tbe Sumpter Valley railway com
pany has commenoed one of the most
important pieces of work yet contem
plated by tbat corporation in tbe way
of improvements, in the cutting down 1
of tbe summit of Huckleberry moun-
tain at tbe point wbere tbe road oro s
es tbe divide separating Powder and
Burnt rivers, about six miles from
Sumpter, says the Bine Mountain i
American.
It is tbe intention to reduoe the ele
vation by several hundred feet. Steam
shovels are at work and tbe undertak
ing is now in fall blast. ' In order to
reach tbis point trains have to pull to
a height of over 600 feet in tbe six
miles, makiug tbe grade one of tbe
steepest in tbe history of railroading.
Tbe company will, after tbe exoa
vating bas been completed, lay a series
of tracks over tbe ground leveled,
where empties and logging trains will
be kept during the time tbey are not
in transit.
Tbis will avert any disaster now lia
ble from stray oars running wild down
tbe mountain grades. A large orew
is employed and tbe work will last
most of tbe summer.

The Farmer's Wife
Is very careful ulxmt her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is mude in it. The stomach Is
a churn. In tho stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts arc performed pro
cesses which ore almost exactly like the
churninsr of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into It?
Tho evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste In the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it. but tho corruption of
tho pure current of blood and the dissem
ination of disease throughout the body.
Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes tho sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the eh urn absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele
ment. Iir this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
aro weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dii7.y attacks, gnawing or distress In stom
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consJer
ablo numberof them. Indicate thatyou are
ButTering from biliousness, torpid or lary
liver with tho usual accompanying indi
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
derangements.

Gentlwnen:
In 1 897 I had a disease of the stomach
and bowels. Some physicians told me it was
Dyspepsia, some Consumption of the Lungs,
others said consumption of the Bowels. One
physician said 1 would not lire until Spring,
and for four long years I existed on a little
boiled milk, soda biscuits, doctors' prescrip
tions and Dyspepsia remedies that flooded
the market. I could not digest anything
1 ate, and in the Spring 1903 I picked up
one of your Almanacs as a poor emaciated
Dyspepsia wreck will grasp at anything, and
that Almanac happened to be my life earer.
t bought a fifty cent bottle of KODOL DYS
PEPSIA CURB and tha benefit 1 receired
from that bottle ALL THE OOLD IN
OtORQIA COULD NOT BUY. I kept on
taking It and In two months I went back to '
my work, as a machinist, and In three months
I was well and hearty. I still use a little ooi
casionally as I And It a fine blood purifier
and a good tonic
May you lire long and prosper.
Yours very truly,
CM. CORNELL.
