Accident Caused by Brake
Broken Axle Prevents Fur

The giving away, or rather the slip
ping to one si'Je, of the brake block on
Inn lumber wagon, was the cause of
Chas. Powell getting the bone of his
thigh crushed by a wagon wheel early
Tuesday forenoon. Powell was on his
way from Slocntn's Willow Creek saw
mill with a load of lumber for Heppner
at the time.
As he i was coming down a grade and
pressing bar J on the brfcke with bis foot
tliebrake block slipped to the tide of
tue wheel, causing Powell to lose his
balance and fall beneath the wagon.
- ; Just as the wheel struck his limb an
; axle gave way, stopping the movement
:- of the wagon, and for three hours Powell
' remained pinioned down beneath the
i wheel.

Enquire of S, K. Notson,
Lexington.
I don't know what he didn't ask, and
hen it came to the money quest ion I
started to empty my jeans onto a table,
ntil he told me that would do. When
he asked me my destination I told him
Heppner, Oregon. Thinking that the
periortnance is over and 1 nave been
treated white, I take my pass and get
ready for New York, my present des
tinatton. But to my surprise I am still
locked up because I wanted to go to
New York and my destination was
Oregon, they wouldn't let me go, and
iere I had to wait for three hours before
be would let me go, just because my
ticket read emigrant.' But I wasn't as
green as he took me to be. Poor fellow,
was like more U. 6. officers he was
either holding me for a dollar, or want
ing to make a commitsion on me by
telling me a ticket the way I didn't
want to go. However, he didn't make
It, and after he couldn't do anything
with me he ordered me out. I beard
a great many people that had been in
the States for over thirty years, say that
they were never treated like that before.
For my part I have been here thirteen
years, and I know I never got such
treatment. So this is what the fellow
get after saluting the Statue of Liberty
with bared head and calling for three
cheers for the Stars and Stripes just
because his ticket reads emigrant, and
and he went off without his citizenship
papers.
As I said before, the experience is
worth more than the price of the ticket
between Liverpool and New York. Hur
rying from the pier to the ferryboat I
cros to Jersey City to catch a train
for Ithica. But having an hour to wait
I was soon hunting np a restaurant,
having nothing to eat from four in the
morning till six at night. I was mad;
0 were lots more traveling without
their papers.
After the abuse we got It seeuiel
funny to be treated white again, anl
after a good supper I was soon headed
west, leaving that dirty scrub on Ellis
lale far behind, enroute for Ithica over
the Lehigh Valley railroad, reaching
Taughanuock Tails Sunday morning,
September 18th. Here I had a nice
vifit and a much needed rest with Wm.
Douglass and lsmily, late of Butter
Creek. Here I fltid Mr. Douglai and
family very comfortably located In one
of the moat ploturertiae places of my
travels for a summer resort. It couldn't
be beat. With a lake forty miles long
between Ithica and Geneva, tho Ian I
sloping back from the lake, and pictur
esquely dotted with timber, is really
beautiful. In taking a drive along tlu
lake one comes to hotels for summer
visitors and reaidt noes of New York and
I'hiladulphia milliouairus. Here you
see the colored cuachmao driving a well
matched span. Boat houses are to be
seen all along the shore. Every little
while one can hear the toot, toot, of the
motor car coming along the road. This
is really an Meal place for families shut
up all winter in these large eastern
cities, to spend a holiday.
Ithica, one of the prettiest places I
visited on the trip, is situated at one end
of the lake a very picturesque place.
It is really a city built In forest; kept
as clean as a pin. All pictures need a
good background, and certainly Ithica
has got it, for here on a rising slope is
the Cornell University and it's beauti
fully laid out grounds one of the most
famous college in the United States.
To anyone who can afford the time, I
sav Ithica and the surrounding country
is well worth seeing.
My friend Mr. Dong as kept me on
the jump all the time I was there,
hardly giving me time to get out of the
bnegy to investigate the nature of the
soil and the crops growing on it. I had
to call a halt more than once to investi
gate the crcp; of so many different
kinds. The county roads are nice here,
with beautiful trees all along, in places
entirely shading the road. In some sec
tions the farms seem to be small; bnt
better to eee a small field well cnlti
vated than a large one only half don).
The ratting of cucumbers is a growing
industry here, and from what I am told,
a paying business. Clover, alfalfa, corn,
oats, and potatoes and turnips and such
like, do well in the fields. Buckwheat
is also raised ; a crop I had never seen
before. Bees seem to make lots of
honey from this, bnt as I could see lots
of sweet clover along the road, it can't
help bnt be a good place for bees. Fruit
and berries ot all kinds do well. I could
al o see large vineyards. All kinds of
wild berries grow along the fences, and
apple trees are seen growing along the
road; in places the road is covered
with apples. The farm a houses and
barns, with my host no exception, are
kept in fine shape.
My stopover in New York state will
long be remembered as one of the many
places of interest I visited on my trip,
and I am sure anyone from Heppner
will be a welcome gueet, for I can plainly
see that Mr. Douglass and his family
are very much interested to know wha
is going on in Uregon, and they tell me
they miss their old friends on Bntter
creek. In a nice country with all the
conveniences for educational and re
ligious purposes, I don't see that he
need worry about coming back to Ore
gon. But I believe after a man lives in
the West he is never satisfied anywhere
else. So after causing Mr. Douglass all
the trouble I could, Ibid him and his
family goodbye and started on my
journey west on the Black Diamond Ex
press, one of the beet equipped trains in
the United States. At Niagara Falls I
join the Grand trunk on mv way to
Chicago, arriving their behind time, my
friends thinking I had got lost while
I was having a nice visit in Chicago.
The eights in Chicago I won't try to
describe any more than 1 would any
other large town. City life don't in
terest me, but the stock yards in Chi
cago are the greatest wonder I ever saw
For me to move around in Chicago is
useless, but as there are lota of Scotch
men there I had plenty ot Grudes, even
to meeting me at the train. I know I
put people to lots of trouble keeping me
from getting lost, but I was made
heartily welcome wherever I went. So
starting ont with a friend I hadn't seen
for twenty-ope years, we make a start
for the stockyards, After an hour's
riding on a street car through the busy
streeta we reach onr dealication. Swift's
plant is chosen to visit, as my friend is
acquainted with some of the employes
in the power house. A Scotchman is
foreman in the power house, and from
him I got lots of information.
Here every light that burns and every
wheel that turns in the plant is started
by a large 10,000 horse-power engine
also a Scottie overseeing this engine. To
visit any of the different plants one has
to go to the general oflke and get a
guide, tor from what 1 could learn and
pee the strike is hardly ended yet, bo
after a few minutes wait, five visitors of
us are turned" over to a policeman as
guide. We enter the hog killing depart
ment first, the hog pens being full of
bogs, I would say thousands of them, all
ready to be butchered. The hogs are
moved from pen to pen In different lots
leading to death's door. This pen has a
revolving wheel that lifts the hog and
puts liim on an endless chain, I would
call it, and In less time than I could tell
you, he is moving out of sight and for
all I know I may eat a piece of him in
Heppner, or perhaps use lard from the
same hog as we are all familiar with the
brand, Swift A Co. leaf lard. Really
this Is a sight worth seeing, 1 might
mention that this plant has a capacity

EXHIBIT FOR 1905 FAIR
Holden Mine Proves a Good
ProducerHeppner Men
Interested.
Harry Cummings brought down from
his ranch near Hardman, last week,
some very fine samples of fruits, berries,
and vegetables ; the fruits and berries
being ready canned for exhibit at the
Lewis and Clark Fair.
His translucent crabs, industry goose
berries, Hungarian pranee, and Pacific
and peach plums, were very fine sam
ples. The Hungarian prunes were so
arge that only three could be pat in a
pint jar, His gooseberries were also
exceptionally large, one jar of which
would average almost an inch in
length.
Mr. Cummings also had some sample
beets and potatoes that are hard to beat
anywhere. They were very large,
smooth and sound. This small exhibit
proves that Morrow county can furnish
a very creditable exhibit for the ' 1905
Fair.
Holden Averages $19.
We clip the following Chelan dispatch
to the Spokane Review of last Friday.
It will no donbt be interesting to Hepp
ner people because a large amount of
Holden stock is held by Geo. Conser,
Henry Blackman, and others of thia
city. The dispatch reads:
Al Bryant is down from the Holden,
of which he was recently in charge. He
said :
"The mine is looking well. There
has been no feet of extension of tunnel
No. 3 this season, making it now over
700 feet in length. It has cross-cut into
the ledge between 35 and 40 feet, all in
good ore, with no signs of getting
through.
In tunnel No. there has been 70 feet
of new tunnel, of which aS feet ia in
clean, solid ore, and work stopped in
ore.
"Tunnel No. a cross-cuts into the
ledge 149 feet all in ore, with no hang
ing wall in sight.
Along side the copper ore there is a
vein of galena from three to six feet
wide.
"Ores from tunnel No. a ran from $40
to $78 for the best ore, and from tunnel
I from $150 to $178, and an average
No.
of the whole mine, from one end to the
other, gives valnea of $19 to $20 per
ton."
Leg Broken.
Mrs. James D. Brown had the mis
fortune to get a leg broken Saturday
forenoon while on her way to town from
Ilinton Creek.
It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Brown,
their daughter and baby, and Miss Lis-
tie Jakes were driving to town in a hack,
and while going along at a brisk trot,
the team became frightened at a band
of sheen and jumped to the side of the
road, upsetting the hack and throwing
them to the ground. The result was
that Mrs. brown's leg was broken, and
Miss Jakes' ankle severely braised.
Both were brought to town and wounds
dressed and they are getting along as
well as could be expected under the circumstances.

Some Seasonable Advice
It may be a piece of superfluous advice
to nrge people at this seaton of the year v
to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's
cough remedy. It is almost sure to be
needed before winter is over, and much
more prompt and satiafactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a cold is
contracted and before it has become set
tled in the system, which can only be
done by keeping the remedy at hand.
Thia remedy is so widely known aad so
altogether good that no one should hesi
tate about buying It in preference to any
other. , It is for sale by Slocum Drug Co,
