A Plea for Boomers.
New York Evening Sun.

Here is another plea, and practical one,
for boomers The number of female vic
Tins in the terrible Paris fire is attributed
by the newspapers of that city to the fact
that women are obliged to wear petticoats
and skirts instead of attire more resembling
that adopted by the male sex, forbidden TO
them by a police regulation. 1t is asserted
by Nine Astie de Valsayre, Secretaire gen
eral de acknowledgements des femmes, that
owing to the incumbrance of the petticoats
and skirts the movements of the wearers
were paralyzed. and in the 'sauve qui
peut" they were helpless, while the men
reached the exits in "clin d'oeil." All the
societies and leagues working for female
emancipation are on the alert, and a petit
ton signed by Nine. Astie de Valsayre in
the name of her sister members, has been
addressed to the Chamber of Deputies pray
ing for freedom in costume which will les

costumes to dangerous furbeiows DIR.

Drs. Bayley, Carter and Parent,
who were appointed members of the
new board of pension examiners
some time since, met at this place
last Monday and organized the
board, as follows: DR.. Bayley, pres

DIR. Carter, treasurer. The regular
meetings of the board will be held
at DR.. Darnell's drug store in this
place on the first and third Wednes-
days of each month, beginning on
the third "Wednesday in Move nber.
DIR. Parent rendered his resignation
to the board, and recommended the
appointment of DR.. Darnell, who
will doubtless be appointed. The
Board will be a great help and con-
venience to the old soldiers of this
part of the country, as many of
them are unable to bear the expense
of going to Albany for examination.

B. F. JONES,

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miser-
able condition. 1t was undoubted-
ly a bad case of lagrippe and recog-
nizing it as dangerous he took i'm
mediate steps to bring about a
speed cure. From the advertise
ment of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and the many good recommen-
dations included therein, we con-
cluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was sat-
isfactory in its results is putting it
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was a speedy
and permanent cure. We have no
hesitancy in recommending this ex-
cellent cough remedy to anyone af-
ficted with a cough or cold in any
form.-The Banner of Liberty, Lib

the snow-capped mountains, whose
rock-ribbed sides are being tunneled,

IN EASTERN OREGON.

Leaving this mine we were rapidly
driven to the Virtue mine two miles
distant, where, after again feasting
the inner man, we we're shown
through the world renowned Vir-
tue mine, said to be one of the
greatest gold producers in the west.
AT this mine they were working on
the 800 feet level, but as they had
but recently experienced an acct
dent the printers were not allowed
to visit this level-none but the
devil.
Next a walk of a quarter Of a
mile brought us to the Consolidated
Virginia. This property is adjoin-
ing the Virtue, and they hope to
strike the same vein. Here we
again dined, and we are compelled
in candor to say that we never saw
a more bountiful spread, or one
more elegant in all respects. This
dinner must have cost the owners
of the mine several hundred dollars.
We had always heard that miners
were hospitable, but we never sup
posed that a feed of the kind we re-
ceived could be gotten up at a mo-
ment's notice in a mining camp.
We noted that in all mines we WIS.,
tied that the company have provid-
ed good, warm, comfortable quar-
tiers for their employees; and we will
say that we never met a more gen.
tlemanly set of men than the super
intendents of these Eastern Oregon
mines.
Returning to Baker City, on
Monday morning those who desir-
ed were shown over Baker City.
We visited the court house and met
the county officers, who, of course,
treated us we'll, as it is we'll known
that all the county officers are not
ed for their hospitality. At the
the bank we were shown some fine
specimens, and were informed that
about $25o,ooo in gold was the out
put of the mines tributary to Baker
City.
AT ten o'clock a business meeting
of the Association was held at the
X. P. hall, and the committees for
ensuing year were appointed by the
president, as follows: Executive
committee, E. L. E. White, c. c.
Doughty, H. L. Heath; Finance
committee, F. c. Baker, J. S. Del
linger, B. F. Jones; Legislative
committee, Col. Alley, Col. Eddy,
]. S. Stewart; Committee on Reso-
l%ations, Ira Campbell, Rose Mar
shall.
Baker City is a lively, prosperous
town of about 5000 inhabitants.
Her citizens are Industrious, law
abiding, hospitable and progressive.
All lines of business are we'll repre-
scented. That there is a bright flu.
ture for this inland city there can
be no question. With a rich min
ing country in every direction, only
in its infancy, but wonderfully rich
as far as explored, it is but fail to
presume that Baker City will soon
be a second Denver.
All too soon, at three O'Clock we
bid farewell to our Eastern Oregon
friends and again boarded the o. R.
& N. train, homeward bound.
Living, as we do, at the farther
most point west in Oregon, and

telegraph by means of vertical wires,
and Marconi says if the wires are
extended high enough words may be
sent any distance desired. In sending
a message 10 miles the wires were ex-
tended 100 feet high, words going
through brick walls or through any
thing. 1t is expected an experiment
will shortly be made in telegraphing
from st. Paups In london to the Eifel

by vibrations of the atmosphere.
EDWARD EVERETT HALE.
On the 3rd of April, 1922, Edward

famous Revolutionary hero. His
father, Nathan Hale, was an eminent
journalist, and was founder of the

Biggest Meet Of the State.
MEXICO CYCLING CLUB BRINGS
TOGETHER THE FINEST FIELD
OFRIDERS OF TIE SEASON.
Fifteen Hundred People Present to
Witness the Good Raeing-Track
and Hospitality of Mexico was
Highly Complimented.

There were only about fifteen hun
dred people present at the big race
meet given under the auspices of the
Mexico Cycling Club at the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon. 1t is
true this was not half so large crowd
as was expected, but still it is about
enough to pay expenses without
drawing on the reserve fund put up
by the promoters. But what the
crowd lacked in number it made up in
enthusiasm and appreciation, and
every good performance was greeted
by hearty applause. A large num-
Der OF Hardin College girls lent grace
and beauty to the throng, while all
Mexico was in gala attire.
The racing was of the finest. From
start to finish there was not an un-
interesting number, and the finishes
were as exciting as the reports of gold
found in the KIondyke. Frank Costello,
"the Roman Lord" was as fast as
Star Pointer, and by carrying of two
firsts, won the honors Of the day.
Jake Weidner and Dan Daugherty
were both hot numbers. The former
received first, second and third, and
the latter a first and two seconds.
Hattersley did not seem to be in the
best form, and two thirds was the
best he could do.
In the professional events Will
Coburn, OF st. Louis, who holds the
State mile record of 1:54, was practlc-

inds his work in the Office of the
State Treasurer such as to prevent his
ooking after the Mayors duties here
as he would like to do. He fully
expected to be able to be at home and
attend ell the meetings of the Council,
out he finds it impossible even to do
this. Thinking it for the best inter-
ssts of the city that he should resign,
he has governed himself accordingly.
Mr.. Johnson made Mexico painstak-
ing, conscientious Mayor and he has
the best wishes of the citizens of Mex
leo, regardless of politics.
There will be no necessity for spec
ial election as Mayor pro tenn Adams
will fill out the unexpired term, giving
