ATHENA, MARCH %, 1896.


The question Of what is to be
done in the matter of absconding
bank cashiers, county and state
treasurers who decamp with other
peoples money ought to be foremost
in the minds of our politicians,
preachers and teachers. 1t seems
that bonds and securities will not
prevent such crimes, and neither
do they make good their losses in
all cases. The evil seems to be
growing and some means must be
devised to call a halt upon such
wholesale robbery and breach of
trust 1t seems that one great
need towards this end is to elevate
the moral responsibility of the
people, and to bring tie whole
community to a sense Of great dis.
grace and degradation that should
attach to such acts. There is too
much Of a tendency among those
who are not direct loosers, to laugh
at and make light Of those defalea.
tions, and too little efforts is made
to bring the parties to justice and
punishment The different church.
es, societies and lodges can DO a
great deal toward bringing up the
public sentiment against these
things. Let the schools, lodges,
churches all unite in crusade
against dishonesty in any form,
and when such things do occur, let
the punishment be prompt, sure
and adequate.

THE La Grande Gazette has
not yet learned that the Umatilla
Indians are American citizens, and
as such, entities them to buy and
drink all the whiskey they want or
can pay for. In giving an account
of an Indian being killed by the
train at Pendleton lately, it says,
SIT is a fact that there is a law
prohibiting the selling of whiskey
to Indians, but that seems to trou-
BILE the whiskey dealers very little
and they keep right on letting the
poor uncivilized Indians have the
deadly 'firewater.'p

Dave Taylor just inside his pasture
near where st. Dennis says he left
her. The ground looked as if she
had fallen from her horse in the
road, and had then tumbled into
ditch by the side Of the road
which contained about two feet of
water.
She had doubtless crawled out
of the ditch and under the fence
into the pasture and stretched out
in drunken stupor.
1t rained heavily all night and
the belief is that she chilled TO
death.
Coroner Kimery came up from
Pendleton Sunday and held an in :

the following in regard to the condition
Of the department:
1.-The pumping machinery Is in good

the river. the Old pump-works have been
OF little service during the past month;
at present only one Of the small pumps
is at work, and this doing about half

stantly had to supply Marshal reservoir

The placing OF Golfer dam outside the

was contemplated, az II was necessary
TO cut through and remove the timber

The report was ordered to be filed and
placed on record.
On motion of Mr.. Brock, 1t was decided
that the space in front of the Marshall

given to the Superintendent to relieve one
