Says Mondays Oregonian Mr..
J. P. McManuc, of the Pendleton
Tribune, does not seem at all dis
turbed over the raking that his
town contemporary and other Pen-
dletonians are giving him on ac-
count of his interview in The Greg
oman on Friday last. Mr.. McMa-
nus still maintains that the senti-
ment in Umatilla county is in fav-
or Of Senator Dolph. AS to his re-
ference to "Dolly Vardens," he
meant ore.particularly those rep
ubl leans who a few years ago sup
ported a ticket against the regular
republican nominees, and known af
the Dolly Warden ticket, He said
yesterday:
Judge James A. Fee, who. it is
said, heads the list of those signing
a protest to my remarks, is respon-
sibIe more than anyone else for the
course pursued by the Tribune DUR
ing the senatorial fight, | did not
intend to say that all who favored
Mr.. Lowell were Dolly Vardens,
but the fact remains that the great
est opposition to Mr.. Dolph comes
from populists and democrats, who
at one time we're republicans and
now are trying to climb back init
the band-wagon.

Store BurgIarized

Thursday night of last week, un-
known parties entered the store of
G. w. Hollis by prying open the
iron shutter of one of the rear win
dows. The matter has been kept
quiet with the view Of gaining a
clew to who the burglars we're, but
up to the present time nothing has
come to light. The cash register
and the safe had been tampered
with. No goods were taken, and
Mr.. Hollis version Of this is the fact
that his goods are marked so low
in plain figures, the parties consid-
cred it useless TO cart away any
merchandise whatever.

ther, because it could be procured
at much less cost than at any
other point. That is the way we
understand it. Said one man:
"And it doesn't stand to reason
that these men who have the mat
ter in charge are going to sacrifice
their honor and what they have at
stake as officials of the city, repre-
senting as they do the citizens and
taxpayers of the city of Athena, by
constructing the head of the water
system in a 'cess-pool,' hog wal
low etc, as some express it. And
particularly do these rumors seem
without foundation when you con-
slider that these men are THE tax
payers of the town."
"There are plenty of men in
town who are in favor of water
works but are opposed to. the site
proposed simply because they are
convinced of the impurity Of the
water found there" said q leading
citizen, "and a great many are
signing remonstrance against the
construction of the works there"
"What do you think of the re-
monstrance to do away with the
waterworks altogether" was asked.
@Ildon't take any stock in it. No
notice should be taken Of it what
ever. 1t will find few signers."
Thus the battle wages merrily
on, and in some instances both
sides go to extremes in prognosti-
eating the results. many Of which
are as amusing as they are absurd.
There is one who says cinnamon
are to be imported to do the work,
and still another who sleeps on the
statement every night and goes
about town airing it during the
day, that lead pipe is to be laid,
and that only Main street is to re-
ceive any benefit whatever from
the whole shootin match"
Taken all around, there is lots OF
fun in town, and the only kick we
have coming is that Serb don't
come in so that we could spring a
cartoon on them this issue.
