PendletOM Letter.
PENpLEroN, Oregon, ] ane 18th, Isl

PESDLEToN, Oregon, j lne 18th, 1917
EDITOR STATESMAN Il was somewhat
surprised when looking over the columns of
the Wotchnaa, to see how shabbily they
crawled ont of :he accusations made by the
STATESMAN. For the Fdtchnan's benefit, l
T.ll siy hat lie Oregon Statesman had no
reporter present a. the pow MO-" The
Statesman had accredited the ariicis clipped
by the Watchmdn to the Oregoa;an, and that
was furnished by MIR. Parker; was with
the gentleman when ne wrote 1t.
On Friday last We attended All Indian war
dance. given by the Umatillas, in honor of
the scouts that are about to depart for the
mountains. Arriving at Winan-SnOOts'
lodges about 4 o'clock In the afternoon. We
were greeted with terrible succession of
yel.s and war whoops that fairly made our
hair stand on ends Meeting the old chiel,
he welcomed lis into his lodge, a very large
spacious affair, made OF grasses and shinS.
On entering We found about twenty braves
singing in their low sounds, accompanied by
rude instruments made IN the shape of tam
bourines. By the time We were seated they
broke out III terrible whoop and danced
wildly about the tent, bran,iis!Iing their
knives and tom hawks IN such a manner
that we considered ii better to leave. After
reaching lone We heard that a couple Of
young folks hailing from iiilo+ Rock, had
-loped. 1t appears that one Wm. Looney
had forbidden young man from visiting his
daughter. Angelina was in love; yes deeply
in love with one Albert Sni.h and Albert
was i'll ike fix The young couple knew
that there Was no Use asking papa, they
quietly waited until the old sire went to the
mountains with his sheep, and hiring buggy
they sped as fast as possible for the more
temperate climes of Washington territory.
After being made one, whom none but God
could put ssSunder," they returned home
but to meet the father on his way to inter
cept them, armed with navy revolver.
The old gent seen that he was beaten and
he wheeled about witt, the parting iuj junction
to his daughter "never to darkea his door
again"
On Friday last when tie sheriff was max
ing his usual rounds through the county
jail, he was surprised to find that his two
prisoners had flown. They cut through the
iiue hole in the ceiling and easily made their
escape. Three officers arc OH their tracks at
present.
Hoping that some Of our editors will make
study Of moral philosophy and put its
teachings to practice. BOHEMIA.

DELINQUENT TAX LIsT-The Union in
its last issue SAYS:

us last iSSuc says.
We have just completed the publishing of
the delinquent tax list The STATESMAN wants
to know by what stretch Of authority the
Ca,on publishes the same, when it is a matter
OF fact that the STATESMAN hss been awarded
the Job OF doing the county printing. The
matter y ,'!ain, the commissioners have no
:isal 20 sss :. :shat paper :he treasurer shall
have his advertising done. The iaw says j,
shall be published in paper of general eircu-
lation. The treasurers office is not one Of the
commissioners creating. Is that satisfactory
Colonel: II it is not, please refer to section
~. page l65 of the statutes Of 1877.
In reply We have to say, and the Union
ought to knox, that the county commits
sioners invited bids for the county print
ing, and that the contract to do the county
printing was awarded to the STATESMAN,
AMI due notice thereof was at the time
published in the commissioners proceed
iags. Now if the Union desires to lead
the board into difficulty by reason of a
breach of contract, We believe that the
commissioners have too much experience
to lay themselves liable for any expenses
in court.

A Tale OF Fashionable Life.

The night was stormy and dark the
wind most awfully blew: even the
tramps, who snore swcctly in Madison
Park till the hands of the clock early
morning do mark, by midnight were
frozen quite through.
From a house on the Fifth avenue
wherein McGinnis did dwelD, from 10
in the eve till in the mum-from the
darkness Of night till the Brightness Of
dawn-did the sounds OF gay rsvelry
swell.
McGinnis was giving q hop on his
charming daughters birthday; from 10
in the eve till was no stop OF the whirl
of the dance, OF the wines iiz and pop:
McGinnis was able to pay.
The bellies were lovely and fair, with
their robes 30 costly and bright; but,
had they spit-curls or bangs in their
hair. not a maid in the room had the
conquering air 4 Bella McGiDnis that
night.
She had bet a rather large stake ten
laps Of the gay giddy dance in each
quarter.hour that night she would make,
and different bean for each ten she
would take in order 10 lessen her
chance.
Her eyes were as bright a. the day,
and constantly peering around; as
round in tho waltz her body would sway
she'd look AZ the men in languishing
way until the next partner was fonnd.
She counted up laps with her feet,
most honest and true was her score;
but, as O. the clock was struck by the
bell, she turned her last lap and sud.
denly fcll-fell all in q heap on the
floor.
Alas for the gambler who gains To
her bed the maiden they bore. And
nov sho is full of weakness aud pains,
and rheumatic joints and varicose veins.
She'll never make laps any more

Translation Of sheep,s Blood.

Al st. Luke's Hospital. Friday even
ing, an operation was performed IN the
presence OF several surgeons and inter
cstcd witnesses upon William Bocckler,
young nan who hos been sick for a
week with severe hcmorrksgcs, which
gives every promise Of saving his life

decided to attempt the TRANSMISSION of

incfosure. and was permitted TO con-
tinue till Boecklor commenced to
breathe short and fast. Then the tube
was removed. All of the while the pa
tents condition was carefully watched,
and il is estimated that about six ounces
of the blood of the sheep passed into
his arm. He soon after commenced 10

was feeling much better. The physi-
clans see no reason why he should not
completely recover. The operation is
unusual, but is not regarded as a re-
markably-delicate one. 1t is the first Of
the kind performed in the State, and
probably the first west of Chicago, as
