One copy, three months . .$1.00 .75 Athena, Oregon, December 3 1926 ANOTHER CONVERT The Walla Walla Union, in recog nizing the feasibility of the Umatilla Rapids project, say? editorially; "A measure has been prepared by Senator McNary of Oregon for con struction of the Umatilla rapids pro ject. This plant it is estimated by engineers would generate 420,000 horsepower and the cost is estimated at forty-five million dollars. This would make the cost 12 mills per kilowatt hour. The bill provides that construction is not to start until binding contracts had been entered into for disposal of all the power to bo developed. "This project has much merit, the Union has believed all the time, and it still believes it more strongly than ever. Tertians the Union has a sel fish interest, but it would like to fee cheap power provided for this 'ity and district, cheap power whicn would permit development of more industries, and of irrigation. The current could easily be transmitted over the northwest and it would tend 1o regulate prices charged by other concerns." o The fourth murder by strangula tion of women in Portland has been linked with like murders at Sun Francisco and Seattle, where evident ly the same methods were employed by the fiend, who has been named "the dark strangler," for the reason that he uses some part of the vic tim's wearing apparel to strangle her. In the four Portland murders the fiend answered advertisements for houses to rent, and in each in stance left a murdered woman se creted so that she was not to be found without search. One body was crammed in a trunk, and the fourth vas found under a bed. The only weapon the strangler uses is a cloth thrown around the neck, over m:,o and mouth, secured with a tight, square knot. His victims have in variably been robbed of jewelry, end in the first instance a valuable era', was taken. The police and detective forces of the three principal citios on the ccast are united in their ef forts to capture the strangler, hav ing only a vague clew that lie is dark, IS5 or 40 years old, five foot end 7 or 8 inches tall and weighs 150 or 1C0 pounds, shoulders stooped, smooth face, speaks in monosyllables nnd has an ingratiating manner. The Seattlu bulletin adds that he is .shab bily dressed in gray coat and gray hat, and drives a dully finished small coupe. o To our mind the "hit and run" au tomobile driver is the lowest and dirtiest criminal in the law-breakin;' decalogue of highway regulation. There may be some excuse in the de fense of a drunken or careless driv er; but the cowardly hit and run de mon stands wholly without the pale of any defense whatever for his mur derous act. The "drunk" may slide out of his machine and in maudlin fashion endeavor to make amends for tho harm he may be responsible for. The reckless driver generally re forms before it is too late. Hut the 1 it and run skunk, he who knocks the pedestrian to the pavement, nnd skulks away at high speed, is endow ed with just sufficient nerve to stau you in the back. queen said about America when she was here, is history. o The taxi driver is the world's most contented man. He has no concern for anything ahead of him. o This rain is all right if it will not molest the snow in the mountains.

Poor Hlchard. SUNDAY NIGHT LUNCH We forget that the Sunday lunch Is most Important, for Jt Is often then tliut an unexpected but welcome friend or two drop in to share our bowl of bread and milk or the simple meal, which seems appro prlate after a hearty Sunday dinner. Tills meal admits of much variety, depending upon the appetites and tastes of those served. In some homes mush and milk Is the usual Sunday night lunch at any season of the year. Whatever Is served this should be a" light meal. A simple and wholesome salad Is of stewed prunes on lettuce with n French dressing and a spoon ful of mayonnaise when being served. Another is cottage cheese with dates; no salad dressing is needed with this combination as the cheese is enriched with cream. Arrange the cheese on lettuce and garnish with well washed dales. When the night Is chilly a bowl of hot roup of some kind is enjoyed; if very hot, a glass of Iced tea, milk or lemonade. Sandwiches of various kinds are al ways in favor. Figs and mils ground and mixed with cream to moisten, add Ing n bit, of salt, makes a good HUi;. Mills toast is a simple dish easy to prepare nnd almost always well liked by everyone. Orated cheese may be added to the white sauce or sprinkled over the dish as It Is served from tho pin tier. Large mild onions seasoned nnd dressed with French dressing may be served In thin slices as sandwich tilling. Cakes of various kinds and with divers fillings nre always popular for a luncheon or supper table. For special occasions small sponge cakes baked In gem pans cut open and the center removed, then filled with crushed berries nnd whipped cream, makes most delightful cake. A dish of sauce or berries with a plain pound cake Is always good. Early Spring Dish. Cook green peas, new carrots nnd young onions In as little water as possible, with a slice or two of salt pork cut Into cubes nnd browned. When the vegetables nre tender ndd milk, senson and serve ns n chowder or n side dish. - 1 22 Years Ago . December 2. 1904 Charles Ferguson the barber, waked up this morning to find his pantaloons gone from . their accus tomed place at the foot of the bed. Charley rooms with Abie Jones and Charles Dunn at the upper end of Main street, and at first he thought his room mates had perpetrated a joke on him in hiding his wearing apparel. But no joke materialized. Ferguson's pants were found later back of the opera house, with the pockets rifled of over ?G0 in money. Articles of incorporation of the Bank of Helix were filed Tuesday at the office of the county clerk. The incorporators are W. M. Scctt, Chas. A. McAlavy, Frank II. Richmond, Z. W. Lockwood and E. L. Smith. The capital stock is $25,000 divided into 25 shares. The duration of the con cern is unlimited. The object is to do a general banking business. II. II. Curtis, who some weeks ago was kicked in the side by a horse,, is reported as getting along rather slowly. It has now developed that a rib was fractured and was pressing on the liver, thus retarding his re covery. Mrs. Joe Banister, Mrs. our tis' mother, has been in attendance on him for a couple of weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Booher have re turned from a visit at Lexington ar.d lone. At the former place Sam en joyed Thanksgiving turkey with his brother, "Lank" Booher, whom he had not met in ten years. John Walker and family and Ira McDonald left yesterday morning for Alberta. Their intention is to lo:;k over the country with the ulti mate object of investing in land, and incidentally will visit among friends With the. remark, "There's a man in town who wants this ear for a souvenir," Portland comes to the front with an innovation in gangster warfare. A gun battle followed the attempt of Hichard .lohnron to sever the car of Sydney ( nrriik, competi tive bootlegger. The man referred tf) as wanting the souvenir is said to be Roy Moore, t'arrick shut 'cm up and Johnson is in a hospital. Thus irdeth chapter 1. Oregoninns should fe having Lair Gregory as and protector general for the O. A. V. foot ball squad on the occasion of its being turned loose, utterly nnso phistieated, in the meulstrom of Chicago's terrifying stupeiuluoosiiess. Thankful are we that "Greg" was there to show the bunch around, and serve ns a buffer against the colos sal pitfalls of the windy city.

The World's ' 'Greatest Washing ilaciit lie 4 ii iwi'l - 3 ? y Up p - f& iff fkfxMiWil$ 1 The only washing machine in the world that cleanses a 23-tjaSton tuhful of clothes in 4 minutes It is worth any woman's notice that the best working washer that money can buy is also the most attractive. For the Meadows is the only washer that really cleanses a 23-gallon tubful of clothes in 4 minutes. And does the whole job without asking the housewife to come to the rescue on neck-bands and cuffs. The only washer that treats lingerie and filmy things as they were meant to be treated. Here are the reasons for these superb advantages of washing with the Meadows: The tub is 4 gallons bigger; it can be bigger be cause this washer embodies the secret of- faster water action; the washing process is gentler, though more thorough, because the JBakelite agitator is forever smooth and does not wear rough and sharp like the metal agitators in other machines. You owe it to yourself to do at least one washing with the Meadows. Our service man can show you how to run it in three minutes' time. You alone will decide that this machine has kept a rich promise. Phone us today for a demonstration. - ROGERS & GOODMAN ( A Mercantile Trust) Dr. Watts, a physician lately from Wisconsin, but new temporarily stay ing in our neighboring burg Weston, was in tho city yesterday.
