Do GOOD-IT PAYS.

A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deed--some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by it." Most men appre-
ciate a kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in this community who might
truthfully say: my good friend, cheer
up. A few few doses dc Sc of Ch s l lam

Bound to Defeat Roosevelt.

The signs multiply daily that the
great trust magnates who have made
millions and millions out of the people
by watering stocks, forming combina-
tions and putting up the price of every
thing the people use, are bound to defeat
Roosevelt at all costs.
The smashing of prices of investment
stocks and bonds by these clears" is
only part of their deep laid scheme to
defeat Roosevelt
The Wall Street Journal says of the
coming election in New York that sit
is sufficiently interesting, thanks to the
remarkable train of events in connection
with the nominations.
"There is, however, one feature of it
which is interesting in a non-political
sense, and is deserving of little study.
We refer to the fact that if appearances
mean anything they mean that corpora
ton influence and corporation money
will this year be exerted against the
Fusion ticket, and in favor of the return
vi ldlIlilldllN COiltlOl Vi -NtW VI IA
city.
There is, indeed, very little room for
doubt on this point, We have state
ments from gentlemen directly repre-
senting traction and contracting in
terests, giving various reasons why they
will support the Tammany ticket this
year
1.-The statements of these reasons vary
in frankness and completeness, but all
sufficiently indicate one thing, which is
that the return of Tammany Hall to
power is desired, because with Tam
many business can be done more salts
factorily than with Fusion.
"Some interests base their support of
the Tammany ticket on grounds of
national politics, saying that the muni-
cipal election cannot be entirely divorce d
from the great party questions that will
come up next year. Others admit that
with party questions eliminated, bust
ness reasons make it desirable to have
an administration of the city that can
he dealt with.
There is 10 doubt that in taking
national grounds for supporting Tam
many the corporation interests are in the
long run merely aiming at having 4
national administration with which
business can be done
There is no matter of doubt that the
financial interests which are stubbornly
opposing President Roosevelt see al
opportunity for weakening him, by de
feating Fusion in the campaign in New
York city this year, and claiming it
defeat by Tammany as capital to be useC
against him in next years Presidential
campaign.
1T may safely be predicted that i
Fusion is defeated this year a grea
many interests which cannot at presen
see their way to open support of Tam
many will be found after election yer,
far from broken-hearted over the resul
and prominent in the chorus of blam
that will be directed against the nationa
administration for the result.
"The use of corporation money il
national, state and municipal election
in this country has reached a poin
where it can be viewed as nothing les
than a grave abuse.

If the farmers of Addison county can

Mexican Freight Rate Cut.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mexico, Nov. 20
The decree Of the Mexican govern
ment revoking the recent order grant
ing the railroads Of Mexico authority
to advance their freight rates Is per
cent. became operative today. The
application of the railroads to raise
their rates Is per cent. was granted by
the government because of the high
price of exchanges which greatly depre
ciated the earnings of the roads. 1t
was understood that when exchange
fell below 2.2O the Is per cent. increase
Of rates would go out of effect. The
increase of rates went into effect Sept.
l, and since that time there has
been a steady fall in exchange. The
government believes it will continue
below 2.20 for some time to come, and
there is, therefore, no longer need of
relief for the railroads.

return to Walla Walla in the spring

on to begin with, and if the venture
proves as remunerative as expected,
other machines will be added.

N. Y. &. 0. To Be Sold.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-There is
considerable speculation in railroad
circles as to who will come into pos
session of the New York and ottawa
railway, which is to be sold at public
auction today at ST. Regis Falls. AL
though the Ottawa and New York
the division which reaches OttaWa-is
operated largely as a separate corpor-
alton, the fact that the other COM
pany owns the stock and bonds OF
both lines means that the purchaser
of the N. Y. & o. will take over both
roads.
The Delaware and Hudson railroad
is believed to have an eye on the prop
erty, for by the construction of q
connecting line of fifty-fve miles il
would have the most direct line from
New York to the AdrOndacks and

Forty Thousand Dollars Worth Of Jew

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Colonel E.

unusual experience Of losing a pack
age containing $4,000 worth Of jewel
ry and finding it within a few hours

Mrs. Power had sent her jewels or

package on a seat in a cab beside him
covering them with his overcoat. He
stopped at a tailor shop on his way
and taking up his overcoat, he paid
the cabman and dismissed him, leav-
ing the package on the seat.
1t was not until he was leaving the
tailor's that he remembered the pre-
cious package. Much wrought up, he
hurried to the Scotland yard, and q
score Of detectives began to search
the city. Four hours later the police
inspector called on Colonel Power and
announced that the cabman had been
found and turned over the jewels. Un-

A PENDLEI0N CORNER
ONE DEALER HOLDS ALL THE
FIRE WOOD IN THE ORE
CON CITY.
There Is Plenty of Fuel but Only One
Man Controls 1t AII-Prices
Go Up.

Now that the Walla Walla corner
on the wood market has been broken
there is a Pendleton corner which
threatens more direct evil to Pendle-
ton than did the Walla Walla myth
cal gobble of the wood supply. lis
true, there is plenty of wood in Pen
dleton wood yards, but one man is
said to own all of it, says the Tribune.
The other dealers who have been
shut out on account of this corner re-
fuse to admit that they can't fill all
orders, but it is understood that they
have not as much wood in the yards as
the situation and conditions would de-
mand. Cars are being rushed to the
mountain loading points as fast as
possible so that there will be as little
delay as possible in filling all orders.
If the snow doesn't get too deep, 1t is
expected that the Pendleton corner
will be busted by the end of the week.
The dealers who have no wood say
that they don't care much as the
place is rapidly becoming a coal mar
ket, and, they would rather handle
coal than wood. w. A. Ennis. the
man who is supposed to have all this
wood under his control, says that he
has already more orders than the sup
ply will fill, and that he is not at
tempting any corner whatever and fur
Their that he will not force the price
up. The situation is not at all alarm
ing, as there is plenty of coal in the
city, and when the coal gives out there
is plenty more on the road. But the
wood situation is going to be easier
before the end of the week if the cars
can be loaded and gotten down here.

NEW EAR is GRATED ON.
Operation Was to be Performed In
New York-Jerome Interfered.

ton of grating an ear upon the head
of a western millionaire, whose name
the surgeon says he is under bond not
to reveal. The operation was to have
been performed in New York, but Dis
trict Attorney Jerome is said to have
interfered.
DR.. Nelden advertised for man will
ling to sell an ear for $4,000 and out of
800 applicants he selected a young
German, who conducts a restaurant
in New York. DR.. Nelden said today:
THE operation has been performed
and l think it is a success. 1 am un-
der bond and legal contract not to re-
veal the name of my patient. Gener-
ally speaking, he is a wealthy man
from the West. How he lost one ear
do not know. 1t appears to have
been cut off with a sharp instrument.
1 believe he says it was accidental,
but l never asked him to explain.
The operation took place at a pri-
vate hospital here, where / was as
sisted by Philadelphia physician and
one from New York. 1 think they will
be willing to have their names known
later"
THE two men were placed in oppo-
site directions upon an elongated bed.
One-half of the volunteers ear-the
upper half-was cut off, together with
about four inches of the skin behind
the ear. This was twisted around
and fitted to a freshly-prepared wound
upon my patients head The half ear
was held in place by bandages and
the two men bound; they cannot move
their heads. They must retain this
position for at least ~ days to allow
the circulation to come through the
flap Of skin that still remains a part
of the volunteers scalp.
If this half ear starts to unite prop
erly, the lower half ear will be graft
ed in the same manner.
