In line with the few private irriga tion ptnjeots proposed for various parts of Umatilla oounty, ouhide the Miltob -Free water country in the ex treme east end, and tbe government project at HermistoD, Weston held a big booster irrigation meeting last Friday evening whioh was addressed by several visiting irrigationiBis, who urged upon tbe people of that vioinity the importance and large increase in wealth brought about by the irriga tion of the soil. Among tbe speakers were Dr. N. G. Bialook of Walla Walla, William fi. Redman of North Yakima, Joseph Binkle of Herniistoh and S. D. Peterson of Milton. ' ' The proposition that has already been announoed includes tbe bnilding of a dam on Pine creek, which has been pronounoed by experts would be ample to supply storage for 14,000 aore-feet of water. The lands abound Weston are specially adapted to tbe cultivation of apples as well as tbe best of all kinds of frnits, vegetables and alfalfa The speakers present at the meeting dwelt at some length on tbe vast possi bilities of irrigation and it had en hanced the value of farm lands in their respective seotions, and men tioned tbe fact that tbe proposition to irrigate Weston lands would have the advantage over other places in that tbe country was now in a prosperous con dition, but values could be greatly enhanoed by use of water in irriga tion. d Successful Bear Hunter.

OLD VET KISSES FLAG Gray Haired Fighters Bare Heads and Watch Old Glory Flutter Down , for the Last Time. sL . Fort Walla Walla is no more. They hauled down tbe flag for the last time at sunset Tuesday, and an old white haired man stepped forward and rev erently kissed it. As a member of E troop of tbe First dragoons he was present 53 years ago when the flag was tint raised tbereV After kissing it, he turned and oalfed on tbe crowd of several hundred people who had oome out from the city to be present at tbe last retreat, to give three cheers, tut the oooasion was almost too solemn for oheering, and they were wofully weak. Tuesday night the remaining offic ers, tbe band and a handful of enlist ed men under command of Lieutenant Colonel Sbnnk, left for Boise, and Fort Walla Walla will be left with a caretaker until such time as oongress finally disposes of it, and as a military post its history has closed. The time set for tbe farewell oere mony was 5:45 and for half an hour before 5 o'olook people from the oity arrived in groups of three and four and gathered on the parade ground near tbe staff. Just before tbe band came out Dr. John Tempany, Joseph MoEvey, Lew is Mo Morris, J. J. Robn and Michael Jenney, all veterans who served when tbe fort ' was first established, lined up in front of the flag. . Lieutenant Colonel Shunk, Major Gardner, Captain Sabell and Captain Hartmann stood beside them, while a pioture was taken and then tbe officers took their position at one side of the band and next them a few non-commissioned offloers and 'enlisted men who are still there. Color Sergeants Kramer and Smith held the halyards. All stood at atten tion while the band played "An Id Lang Syne." Then came the last sun set gun and then with the opening strains of tbe national hymn all hats oame off and the flag fluttered slowly down. Dr. Tempany gathered it iu his arms before it toncbed tbe ground, MoEvoy stepped forward and kissed it, and as the oheering wbiob followed it died away, tbe story of Fort Walla Walla oame to an end.

Automobile Accident. Mrs. Ed. Barr lies in St. Anthony's hospital at Pendleton as tbe result of an antomobile accident. Tbe woman has a Iractured thigh and other ser ious injuries. Charles MoBee, owner and driver of the antomobile, was also seriously injured. He was making a turn of a street coiner at slow speed, when a cab was pulled up suddenly ty tbe driver to avert running into the automobile, but not in time to prevent tbe tongne from tearing away tbe steering wheel and throwing MoBee to tbe ground. This left tbe roaobiue to run amnok. It darted across tbe street and pinned Mrs. Barr against a briok building. The street was full of people at the time and others nar rowly escaped injury.

That there is money to be made in tbe poultry business in this end of the valley is being demonstrated in a business-like manner by L. J. Molotyre on bis fonr-aore tract looated on Gro ver street, says tbe Milton Eagle. At tbe present time Mr. Molntyre has on hand four times as many orders for his Crystal White Orpington ohiokens as be can fill, and what he has will be sold at prioes mupb above tbe av erage, owing to the ' exoellent breeding- , ' . At tbe present time, there are in the Molntrye pens about 200 young pul lets and cockerels ready to be market ed. Last year there were sold from this plaoe 90 pullets at $4 apieoe. , The four aores in this farm ate feuoed and oioss-fenoed into 11 pens, each with a small house. These are all arranged with tbe idea of adapting the smallest pieoe or paroel of ground to tbe greatest possihle nee. The reoord sales from poultry pro ducts on his place last year was better than $1000 and this figure will be sur passed considerably the present year. Brain of the Bee. In a German .scientific periodical 6. Jonescu gives the results of his studies bt tbe bruin of tbe bee. As might be expected from iu wonderful instincts, this is found to be very complex.' The various divisions of the brain, are de scribed in detnll. but penhnps the roost interesting part M the comparison of the brains of queens. workers, and drones. The worker has u larger brain than the queen, and as the difference between queen and worker Is the re- ' suit of diet during the grub stage it appears that the food which develops size of body and fertility is not best for the growth of brnln. The ''royal jelly" as a mental stimulus Is a fail ure. In tbe drone the brain Is not larger than in the worker, but the op tic lobes are large, corresponding to the large eyes. ' Didn't Wait the Attack. At Boulogne during u royal reception some years ago a number of English ladles in their nnxlety to see every thing pressed with such force against the soldiers who were keeping tbe line that the soldiers were forced to give way and generally were, as po licemen say, "hindered in the execu tion of their duty." The officer in command, observing the state of of fulrs, called' out: "One roll of 1116 drum! If they don't stand back kiss them alii" After tbe first sound of the drum tbe ladles took to flight. "If they bad been French," said a Parisian Journal, "they would have remained to a woman." A Tale of Heroism. -I went for a bath yesterday," eald an Auvergnat, "I had been lo the wa ter some time when 1 suddenly per ceived an enormous shark advancing toward me with its jaws open. What was I to do? When bo was a yard off I dived, took out my pocketknlfe and ripped up the monster." "What! Then you are In tbe habit of bathing with your clothes on," said one of tbe listeners.

' Tbe mayor of a small town bod come to Leipzig to nee tbe fair. A stranger who bad lost his way asked blm. "Pray, good honest man. what Is the name of this street?"
