DRIVERS LOCKED OUT.
BricklaHers Strike and More Are EN-
pected to,

Chicago, May 29.-The drivers for
a number of additional lumber COM
panies were locked out today in ac-
cordance with a decision of the Lum-
bermen's association. All the mem
bers of the association but one are
now hauling with non-union drivers.
Efforts TO involve the box manufac-
turers in the lockout failed.
Fifty bricklayers struck today,
throwing 200 laborers out of work,
Bricklayers' union left the matter of
striking to the individual members. 1t
is predicted they will universally
strike rather than accept material
from non-union teamsters.

While the street sprinkling COM
mittee of the city council, consisting
of Councilman Dickson, Johnson and
Murphy has not yet officially reported
in the mHtter, II is understood that
the street sprinkling contract has been
let TO Walter Wells, a member of the
city council and the highest bidder
for the work.
In fact, Wells said this morning,
that got the contract" meaning
himself and the dummy contractor
who'b for him. It is also thorough
ly understood that Wells bid of $110
per month per team is the highest
bid, and that several other bidders
can furnish a"stronger bond for the
faithful performance of the work
than Wells. as well as bidding under
Wells for the work.
Those bidding on the street sprink-
ling contract, as far as can be learned
from unofficial sources. are as fol-
lows:
AlVogel. sos per team per month
r.. C. Hinton. s1O5 per team per
month.
Hastings. $Ie6 per team per month.
Jewett. $9S per team per month.
Walter Wells, (by hired mani $40
per team per month, it is said.
Great indignation was expressed
this morning By citizens in general
and especially by those who under
bid Wells for tine work, when II was
learned that Wells had been awarded
the contract. The street committee
will officially report the matter to the
session OF the council on Wednesday
night.
Both AL Vogel and r. c. Hinton,
who underbid Wells are thoroughly
responsible men, having better teams
than Wells, and having fully as much
experience in public works as Wells,
who has held the street sprinkling
contract for a year contrary to the
city ordinance, providing that MEM
'ber of the city council shall not take
contract work from the city.
The East Oregonian is interested in
seeing the city served best at the
cheapest possible rate and believes
that the city council committee will be
justly rebuked by the people for Civ
ing this contract to a member of the
body of rthe council over highly re-
sHDOnSlDIe men WIN hhdNt Oiici GU "
take the work. cheaper than Wells
will do II II the lowest bidder
should be given the work at $9S per
month persteam 1t would mean saw
ing of $3.50 per year, or s12 per team
per month for five teams eight
months.
r. C. Hinton, in his bid. specified
that he would furnish water from the
river, free, II required and would place
a gasoline engine in the river for that
purpose. It is said that Wells lis bet
ter equipped 10 furnish the city good
service than any one else, because of
owning an old water wheel on the
bank of the river. Mr.. Hinton offers
TO put in a gasoline engine IL neces-
sary and bid So per team per month
under Wells.
The city owns four of the street
sprinkling tanks, and a portion of the
wagons and the Wells outfit amounts
TO nothing in the consideration OF the
bid. even II Wells could hold the con-
tract, which he cannot do under the
law.
II the committee gives the contract
to Wells It is likely that an injunction
suit will be brought to prevent him
from drawing pay from the city for
the work, since the city ordinance for
bids him from taking a city contract,
and thus a costly and bitter lawsuit
will be precipitated

The New Colony,

Reports from the office of the new
Southern Colonization company in
this city are very encouraging.
Some thirty-five people from the
north have visited the lands of the
company west of this city during the
past week, and all were well pleased.
One enthusiast said, "Why did not
| find this place 20 years ago?"
Two men from Maine and five
from Ohio were over these lands on
Tuesday. J. ]. Jordon writes from
Iowa, saying, II have number of
people that want to see your country
they have read your description of
the lands and its products, but all
say it is too good to be true"
a great many letters are coming to
the company every day, and the
majority of them contain drafts for
money ordering stock, or deeds for
lots, and the 5, 10, and 20 acre. tracts.
When the facts are fully known to
the outside world, as to the value of
these lands, and its varied products,
the boom will take place, and such a
one as has never before been wit
messed in this section of the country.
The survey of lands and lots, we
are assured, will begin soon.

All who attended the lecture given
by Hon. w. #. Bundick in the Pres
byterian church last Tuesday night
are sure they enjoyed treat. They
are also sure that they gained much
in the way of inspiration to go out
and do battle against the greatest
iniquity of the day-the licensed Ii
quOr traffic.
Mr.. Bundick's topic was "Ameri-
can Citizenship" but his effort was
to show how that citizenship was
degraded through drink, and how
people personally free from the drink
habit were tools for the perpetuation
of the evil; that while many of us
were theoretically temperance peo-
pie, yet practically We belonged to u
nation of drunkards.
Mr.. Bundick is graceful speaker
with occasional bursts of eloquence.
None who heard him on Tuesday
night can doubt his divinely APP
pointed commission to battle against
intemperance, and this paper is of
opinion that such men and such lee
lures an altogether too rare.

Divorce Didn't Go.

Judge J. II. Wills has annuIled the
divorce granted to Moses Saucer
from his wife Djedaidy Saucer, in
the spring of 1908, on the ground of
fraud.
At the time this divorce was
granted the News called attenten-
tion to the matter and stated that JUS
tice had been outraged.
Moses Saucer had then been living
here about two years and conducting
fruit stand on upper Lemon St.
He came here from Syria, leaving
a wife in that far off land. She fol-
lowed him to Palatka and found him
living with another woman. Saucer
would not recognize his wife, and
she went to live with her married
daughter here, Mrs. A. E. Mallem,
whose husband then kept fruit
stand in the Graham House block.
Without his wife's knowledge,
Saucer obtained decree of divorce
under the name of Moses Thomas.
This decree divorced him from
Gaddy Thomas. Then he married
Marti Ellis, the woman with whom
he was living.
That Djedaidy Saucer was his le-
gal wife was attested by a copy of
the marriage register which was
sent here by the Archbishop of
Beyrut,
Previous to his divorce this man
was known here as Moses Saucer, as
he has since. He was naturalized by
Judge Bullock under that name.
On the witness stand he swOre his
name was Moses Tanias Alas Aboo
BODomit. That makes three names
he has testified to as being his.
But the wife whom he abandoned
in Syria, the mother of his children,
the woman he secured divorce from
while she was living within four
blocks Of him, to his certain knowl-
edge, when he swore he didn't know
where she was-this woman now has
her inning.
Judge Wills decree restores her to
her rights.

High School Notes,

The high school opened after the
holiday vacation with the arrival of
another pupil, Miss Margaret Kent
from Beverly, Mass, who is spend
ing the winter with Mrs. E. E. Has
kell. This makes an enrolment of
seventy names.
The seating capacity of the high
school room has been increased by
the placing of ten new desks, which
adds greatly to the comfort of the
room.
An addition of over one hundred
valuable books has been made to the
school library within the month, and
the pupils appreciate the aid and
benefit of this department.
One of the pleasantest exercises of
the year occurred on January 10Th,
when a committee from Patton An
derson chapter, U. D. c., presented
the school with Il large picture of
General Robert E. Lee. A graceful
presentation speech was made by
Mrs. Coke, to which Prof. Hines re-
sponded. expressing the appreciation
of the teachers and pupils. Mr.. j..
n. Blackwell then made a short but
very interesting address upon the
character of the great southerner.
The songs by the school and the
music by the high school orchestra
did much to render the exercise in
teresting and entertaining.
1t may not be inappropriate to
mention in this connection that the
school music this year is one of the
most important features of the work
The school realizes that it owes a
debt of gratitude to the Woman's
Park Association for the important
gift of a fine piano. The need of a
piano had long been felt, but the pur-
chase of one seemed impossible. We
are sure that the funds of the asso-
citation could have been expended in
no other way to afford so much pleas
ure to so many people, And we as
sure all those who contributed to the
gift that they have earned the sin
cere gratitude and affection of the
faculty and students of the school,
Contributed.

Still Going On.

The special sale of the I. Jacobson
stock of mems, wOmen's and chill
dren's shoes at less prices than the
cost of manufacture, is still going on
ut the old stand on Lemon street
The stock has been reduced by sale
to less than half of it's original
amount, but there are still great
bargains left. Leo Jacobson, the
popular dry goods man who bought
the stock, will remove it from its
present quarters next week and make
room for all that is left in his already
over-crowded dry goods store, but
rather than move it he will, until
next Wednesday, February 1st, offer
these goods at "a still greater sacri-
flee in prices.
There are many bargains in this
stock
