to find out what a vast difference
there is between a good and a bad
electric belt. I do not have those
severe pains in my stomach and
generally am a much healthier man

WOMEN ARE SCARCE.

Point Raised by Man Who Has
Travelled All Over the West, That
There Are Fewer Women in Pro-
portion to Men in Pendleton Than
in Any Western City-Has Not
Been Here Long, and the Discrep-
ancy Was Very Noticeable.
Are there fewer females in Pendle-
ton in proportion to the population
than in other cities of the Pacific
coast? This question was asked this
morning by q newcomer, who has
Travelled extensively in the West. To
the large majority of residents of this
city, perhaps, the thought has never
been raised.
The one who asked the question
was standing on the main thorough
fare of the town at an hour when
persons were hurrying to their work.
There were dozens of men in sight
and scores passed, yet at no time
were there more than six women in
sight at any one time,
"In Portland, in the Sound cities.
or in San Francisco" said the observ-
ing man. "there are generally as
many women and girls in sight on the
streets as men and boys. The Of
fices, the factories and the stores en-
ploy almost as, many females as
males, and in the morning, at the
lunch hour and early in the evening
the crowds are made up with as
many women as men, In the after
Rooms, as a rule, there are generally
more women in sight than men, but
not so in Pendleton. 1t may be thai
the persons on the streets are farm
.ers come to town to trade while theii
wives remain at home, and 1t may bt
that Pendleton women are given more
to remaining indoors than coming VI
