East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-05-11

Readers of the East Oregonian are
given an exhibition every day, of the
most progressive and wide-awake
merchants to be found anywhere in
the Inland Empire. or in the state, or
in the entire country
Pendleton merchants lead all others
in public spirit. Nowhere else in the
state of oregon is there found class
of men in the mercantile business who
will take up a matter of public good,
such as the coming good roads con-
vention, and exploit it in their paid
advertising space in a newspaper, as
Pendleton merchants do in the col
umns Of the East Oregonlan.
The newspapers exploit such con-
ventions, in their news and editorial
columns, but nowhere else in Oregon
do the merchants take up the refrain
in their advertising space.
Try to remember the time when
La Grande, Baker City, Walla Walla,
North Yakima. The Dalles, Eugene.
Salem or other city in the northwest
enjoyed an advertisement of a public
convention, in the advertising space
of their merchants. Try to remem-
Der a time when any other oregon
town exhibited such enterprise, and
public spirit.

The people of Umatilla county
should remember that the Lewis and
Clark exhibit committee, the solicitor
for exhibits or the county court, all
of whom are working diligently for a
creditable exhibit at the fair, are not
possessed of an x-ray eye. and unless
the people bring out their choice pro-
ducts and make it known that they
have them, many of the best species
of agricultural products are sure to be
overlooked. All these various agen-
cies are endeavoring to secure every
exhibit that will truly represent the
county, but unless they have the
hearty cooperation of the people,
much of their work will be in vain
and the exhibit will be unsatisfact-

The Tribune mentions that the East
Oregonian opposed street improve
ment on Webb street some time ago.
The East Oregonian opposed the i'm
provement for the reason that doz-
ems of poor men living along the street
had been taxed once in an attempt
to improve the street and it believed
they should not be burdened a sec
ond time. 1t simply defended the
people who We're unable to make the
Improvement. 1t was ready at that
time. as It is ready now, to pay it's
share of any kind of street improve
ment the council may propose, from
gravel to marble pavement. One
thing is certain. and that is that the
Tribune will never be found fighting
the battle of the poor man. Its name
will never be mentioned in council
meeting in connection with any pub
lie movement.

LARGEST BOOK AND MAP.

The largest book in the world is in
the British museum. 1t is an atlas
measuring five feet 10 inches by three
feet two inches and weighing close to
200 weight. The largest may in the
world Is the ordnance survey map of
England, which covers over 100000
sheets. In its preparation it cost
100000 year for 20 years. The
scale varies from 10 feet to one-tenth
inch to the mile. The details are so
minute that maps having a scale of
rs inches "show every hedge, fence,
wall, building. and even every iso-
lated tree in the country. The plans
indicate not only the exact shape of
every building, but every porch, area,
doorstep, lamp post. railway and fire

 He was walking briskly, so I was right, and he had not played the invalid to her; yet heard him cry out with pleasure as he turned the corner, and he flung him self into the chair with long-drawn sigh that did me good.

But she never gave us a glance, and we saw her turn safely in the right direc- ton for Earl's court. and the wrong one for our humble mansions Rallies thank ed his gods in voice that trembled, and five minutes later we were in the fiat. Then for once it was Rallies who filled the tumblers and found the cigarettes, and for once (and once only in all my knowledge of him) did he drain his glass at a draught.
 You didn't see the balcony scene?" he asked at length; and they were his first words since the woman passed us on his trick.

me it was so superb that l could think of it in this way, even then. and marvel how Rallies himself could stand un- abashed before so brave figure. He had not to do so long. The woman scorneu him and he stood unmoved, framed photograph still in her hand. Then, with a quick. determined movement, she turn ed, not to the door or to the bell, but to the open window by which Rallies had entered. and this with that accursed po- liceman still in view. So far no word had passed between the pair. But at this point Rallies said something. l could not hear what but at the sound of his voice the woman wheeled And Rallies was looking humbly in her face, the craped mask snatched from his own.

 Then they stood gazing at each other, neither unmoved any more and while they stood the street door opened and banged It was the husband leaving the house, a fine figure of a man, but a dissipated face, and a step even now dls- tinguished by the extreme caution which precedes unsteadiness. He broke the spell. His wife came to the balcony then look ed back into the room, and yet again along the road. and this time saw her face. It was the face of one glancins indeed from Hyperion to a stayr. And then saw the rings flash as her hand fell gently upon Raffles's arm.
 They disappeared from that window. Their heads showed for an instant in the next.

As a last resort was persuaded to try Cuticura, and to ny great delight marked change was manifested from the first application. I gave the child bath with Cuticura Soap, using a soft piece of muslin cloth. This I did twice a day, each time following with Cuti- cura Ointment, and at the same time gave the Resolvent, according to directions. One box of Ointment and two bottles of the Resolvent, to- gether with the Soap, effected Q per manent cure. I submit this for pub lication, hoping it will assist other sufferers in curing themselves"
