secure one. It was thought the one

could be obtained but on appliA

the council granted only four days
time for the test, no further efforts
were made in the matter of secur-
ing q pump and the test was not

Mrss Maggie Bernier browns at Thorn
f& Hollow.
Monday afternoon, while fording
the Umatilla river, at Thorn Hol-
low crossing, Mrs. Maggie Bernier,
a well-known lady residing on the
reservation, lost her life by drown
ing.
She, in company with a gentle
man, ATTEMPTED to ford the stream
which is quite swollen by recent
rains, in a wagon. The cupling
pole dropped out, causing the bed
to float. The man clung to the
reins and the horses pulled him
safely ashore. The woman went
with the wagon bed which was soon
capsized by the swift current, and
the last seen of her she was cling
ing to some drift wood,
Her hat and valise containing
clothing were found near the scene
Of the accident shortly after, but
the body was not recovered until
Wednesday, and was found near a
mile below the ford. The remains
were inferred in the Athena cem-
etary yesterday afternoon. She was
on her way to work for the family
of Gus Connoyer, whose wife is ill.
Mrs. Bernier was brought to pub
lie notice some time ago by the acts
Of her husband, Edward Bernier,
who was arrested on complaint OF
attempting to choke his wife. He
is now at Salem with a charge
hanging over him, and the dead
woman had instituted divorce pro-
ceedings. She leaves three child
rem who are attending the Indian
school on the reservation.

sake of argument it be admitted
that Baker City gives more busi-
ness to the main line than does
Pendleton, when the tonnage has
been looked up it shows Pendleton
in the lead for incoming freight.
As to outgoing business, Baker
City is simply not in it. Pendle-
ton ships more tons per year than
any town in the state excepting
Portland. A gentleman has been
doing some figuring and finds that
Umatilla county produces just one
per cent of the wheat crop Of the
United States. Then besides that
are cars of fruit and vegetables,
lumber and hundreds of cars Of
livestock. This outgoing freight
tells a tale of heavy production
which to intelligent persons needs
no explain 1tion.

are buying plug horses and feeding
them to hogs. John Markey has
fed to his hogs about go horses and
Jess Finley, another hog raiser, has
utilized the same number. They
pay from so cents to $3.50 each,
knock them in the head skin them
and then throw their carcass in the

It Might Have Been.

It is the general feeling in Pend
Teton that S. A. Lowell could have
beert elected had Geo. Shutrum and
A. R. Price been loyal to the Uma-
tilla statesman. Those two
legislators allied themelves
permanently to the Dolph
Simon force and steadfastly
refused to give Mr.. Lowell even one
vote. Nothing could be done for
that gentleman with one half of
the republican delegation from this
county standing out in opposition.
Well informed men say that there
were three or four days on any one
of which Lowell could have been
successful, if Price and Shutrum
had acceded to the demands of an
almost unanimous constituency.
They didn't and to them will al
ways be imputed the blame.- East
