John Portwood circulated a petition
here Monday, to be presented to Supt.
Kennedy, asking that about half doz
en families of Matney Flat be cut off
from this school district and joined onto

that the distance is too great for the
children to attend this school. A great
many of our citizen signed the petition.

One day thl week the pupils of Mrs.
Taylor' department of our public school
were asked to name three "religious de
nominations." One little girl, in her
eagerness to get her answer in first, al
most stood up, so as to be noticed.
When BHked to name them she named
three prominent lady church member

He left here this week for that city and
hi many friends earnestly hope for his
recovery. Later. After arriving at Ar
lington Mr. Gross changed his mind and j
went to Athena to visit relatives.
About three weeks ago Fred Baker, !
aged 14, one of the pupils of our public
school, while playing on the sidewalk
fell and a projecting nail penetrated bis
leg an inch or more, just below the
knee. The wound apparently began to
heal, but last week his parents were
horrified to discover that blood-poisoning
bad set In and his leg had swollen
out, of all proportions and several ab
scesses had formed. Dr. llogan is treat
ing the case and the little fellow is now
out of danger, but it was a narrow es
cape from death.
We are pleased to say that at the
school meeting (Saturday aS-mill taxwas
voted almost unanimously by the 4U citi
zens present. No jangling nor speeches
were indulged in and it was all over
within few minutes. This insures
nine months school for this term, and
our citizens all feel proud of the scliooi,
which is one of the very best country
schools in the state. The taxpayers
who maintain it are entitled to much
credit, as well as the teachers and school
board ; as the taxable property in this
district amounts to only a little over
170,000, and the number that pays taxes
to maintain the school is surprisingly
small.
The hearts of a thousand people were
touched by the eloquence of ilon. F. A.
Falkeuburg, head consul of the Pacific
jurisdiction, Woodmen of the World, at
the ora house Friday night. Tho sub
ject of the address was "Fraternity,"
and a mora finished, tasutiful, touching
and eloquent address has never been de
livered in the the city of Pendleton. As
the speaker dwelt upon tho noble attri
butes of fraternal love and told of mil
lions who had been spared a life of want
and misery through the instrumental
ity of fraternal protection, spoke so feel
ingly of the right of tho mother and the
child to lie placed tayond the possibility
of want, of tho un'wortbiness of man
who would make no further provision
for these loving ones than the chances
of life and health, tho speaker won the
hearts of his hearers and all were drawn
close to him, their feelings being swayed
at the will of the speaker. No one with
a heart in hi breast could listen to such
an address without being made wiser
and better. East Uregonian.
The Fosil and Antelope parties who
were on the hunt last week for Jim Ful
ler, the man who stole C. L. Prindle's
horse and a number of things in that
section, found him Saturday evening in
a cabin in Buck horn canyon and capt
ured him. They took him to Foxsil and
that niiilil he slept with Mr. I'rinille in
DomildMon's hotel. Towards morning he
told Charley he was obliged to get up for
a few minutes, lie rushed down stairs
ahead of Charley and kept on going,
making bis eweepo in the dark, hnnday
niitht lie stole n good horse, raddle and
bridle from W. P. Thomps' n's slable
near town, also a nair of boots from Sam
Donaldson s cabin and a coat from Jewy
Brown's cabin and ht-out for dear life.
On Monday W. V. Kennedy and Clar
ence .ni'hiiry were surveying a road in
llockhnrn canyon and the thief ran onto
them. They at once recognized all the
stolen prope'rtv and told him he would
have to give it up, Clarence taking hold
of tho home's bridle. Fuller, who evi
dently is no tenderfoot, drew a large re
volver and told them that they could
have the property but they couldn't have
him alive, lletlien disappeared in the
brakes of the John Day and has not taen
beard of since. Fuller's folks reside in
Washington. Later. As we go to Dress
we learn that on Tuesday night W . S.
Thompson hud another Imree and saddle
stolen and ho believes it was done by
the same thief. The people of Fossil
Litre greatly excited and offer reward of
m) tor his capture, in addition to mis
Sheriff Wilcox oilers a reward of i2i.

How to Kill Squirrels.
Already the ground squirrel, or sage
rat, which is the bane of the Eastern
Oregon farmer, is making its appearance
in different parts of the country, the
mild winter having apparently taen es
pecially favorable to them. In parts of
Umatila county they are said to be mak
ing their appearance in unusually large
numbers and the farmers express alarm
lest they shall prove more destructive
than common. The farmers iu those sec
tioes are waging war upon the little
marauders, und Mr. V. C. Daniels tells
the East Oregonian his manner of opera
tion. He takes Jg of an ounce of strych
nine and a half gallon of wheat, with a
pint of sweetened water. In the water
the strychnine is'dissolved and poured
over the wheat. Over the mixture
enough flour is sprinkled to dry it, and
when thus prepared one-third of a tea
spoonful is all that is required at one
hole to kill two or three squirrels.
Mr. Daniels says this is tho best sea
son of the year to exterminate the pests,
for at tho present time the squi rrels are
weak and on account of scarcity of food,
hungry. They will eat the poisoned
wheat and their weakness causes
them to (lie even when eating two or
three kernels of the poisoned grains,
Of Interest to Settlers.
the senate committee on public lands
has reported favorably npon a bill intro
duced by Senator Mitchell, which Is of
considerable importance to settlers on
lands in this and adjoining counties.
It is known as the double-medium re
funding bill. This measure provides for
the refunding to the settler within for
feited railroad grants of all more than
f 1 .25 per acre, paid by those who set
tled on even nu in tared sections, and
made their payments at the dooble
niimuni price. It is well known that
the doublo price was paid because it
was believed that lands within railroad
grants were much more valuable than
those outside. This was no doubt true,
so long as no roads were built in the
lands outside the grants. Afterward,
with the building of roads, the lands
which were sold at (1.23 per acre be
came as 'valuable a those which were
inside the grants. The fact that the
road were not built as anticipated, cer
tainly ought to make it plain that the
persons who paid the higher price for
lands are now entitled to get them for
what tbey would have paid for them if
no grant had been made. The settlers
mostly interested In this bill are be
tween Wallula and Portland, on the old
grant of the Northern Pacific road.
There are other sections of the country
interested, and the aggregate amount to
be returned is o large that it will no
doubt cause considerable opposition in
the senate. There ie a proposition to
confine it simply to the forfeited grant
in Oregon and Washington, but that is
scarcely practicable.

Mr. Hayes has had the misfortune to
get one of his bands of sheep infected

firm is in a fair way
to become entirely reconciled and we
suppose business will be resumed with
redoubled energy. It is possible J. W.
Nye will run the smokehouse, but
whether they will run a night shift as
formerly we are nnable to say yet
It seems that while one of our heavy
weight neighbors a short time since was
engaged in his usual chores, he eaw his
cattle which he supposed was quietly
feeding in the pasture, come down the
hill toward borne in a rather hurried
manner for well-behaved bovine; but
he soon saw that this unstudied move
was caused by another heavy-weight
neighbor's dog trying to get a rare beef
steak. This made heavy-weight No. 1
feel rather woolly, and mounting his
saddle horse the above mentioned dog
was seen careering toward home in a
style surprising to the natives. Now
when heavy-weight No. 2 saw what his
dog was trailing into camp be was a lit
tle warm under the collar, and meeting
No. 1 in a 640-ncre ring, tbey had a few
rounds, Marquis of Gooseberry rules.

We learn from good authority that
another store is to be started at Olex, or
just below at the crossroads, on the
main line of the Condon and Arlington
road, by a Portland man. Another store
would be a grand Improvement for this
section, as there is plenty of business
here for two if it can be held at home.
