MODERN W00DMEh
PAY INSURANCE
The Modern Woodmen Will Pay
Mrs. Grant Chess $1,000, The
Amount of Her Late Husbands
Policy In That Order.

W. NJ. Irwin, Clerk of Gold Nugget
Camp. Modern woodmen OF Americs,
at Cripple Greek made u visit here last
week al the instance OF the board of
directors of the state organization for
the purpose of securing sttidavits in re-
lation TO the disappearance OF Grant
Chess, who is believed to have been
drowned near Milsap while crossing
Four Mile creek during freshet las,
summer. Chess carried an insurance
policy for 81 900 in the Modern Wood
men, which will be paid to his widow
and children within the next thirty
days.
1t will be recalled by readers of Tue
RECORD that Chess, who was lineman
in the employ OF the Colorado Electric
Power company of this city, disappear
ed very mysteriously at the time of the
high water on the 18th of lsst August.
1t is practically certain that he lost
his life in attempting to cross Four
Mile creek on that date, although no
absolute data exists upon that point,
despite the efforts made by his friends
to recover the body. 1t is believed he
was in some manner either thrown
from his horse, or the animal was car
ried from under him by the force OF
the current and Chess was drowned.
while his steed escaped.
No one saw Chess drown, but as he
was known to have been in the vicinity
of Four Mile creek on the fateful day
and as his horse was found there wet
and cold from its struggles in the water
there is no doubt that he lost his life
in the raging torrent which came down
from the mountains,
The Modern Woodmen have made a
determined effort to find his remains,
but without success, and; being con-
vineed that he was drowned, now pro-
pose to pay his beneticisries the amount
of the policy he held in that order.
II MIR. Twins report reaches the
head Office Of the woodmsn at Rock
Island, Illinois. in time for adjustment

INSTALL THE EXHIBIT.

Nothing will do the county more di-
rect good in the way of advertising in
the east, than a permanent exhibit OF
resources at the O. r. & \. depot.
People with money will come to
the west in greater numbers than ever
before. now that they have come to
the Lewis and Clark fair. Each one
is looking for the best possible loca-
ton. The resources Of Umatilla coun-
ty cannot be surpassed. All that is
lacking is to place them before the
world.
The county court should be glad of
such an opportunity to advertise the
county. 1t is money well expended.
Pendleton business men and the Com
mercial association have long borne
all such expenses while all the people
have benefited Now let the county

WHERE CRIME BEGINS.

A 17-year-old boy who had worked
all summer in the harvest fields OF
eastern Washington came into Hat
ton a few weeks ago, on his way to
Portland to attend school for the win
Ter.
He had saved his wages and had
SIS with him, to help pay his board
and tuition.
AT Hatton he was enticcd into
dive and made drunk, and while drunk
was robbed. When he became sober
he tried to recover his money, but
was kicked out and sent out of town
with the admonition not to return
again.
He was heartbroken his ambition
10 attend school was ruined and he
was rnoneyless and alone in a worse
condition than whCu he began work
in the spring.
On last Tuesday night he returned

of the last decade?"
He says this question is of more
importance to the race than that ma
terial resources are increasing the
dividends of capital. He is right when
he says it.
He says these questions are more
important than all political issues
combined. He is right when he so
declares his high ideal.
The same questions apply not only
to the south but to all sections.
Development will come in its nat
ural channels,
Opportunity will unfold its golden
promise in due season when nature
has planted her riches.
But all these things are small COM
pared to the question, How is the
man living? How is the standard OF
manhood moving-upward or down

Are men living lives of honesty ant
integrity or are they leading lives OF
duplicity and faithlessness? Are the
individual standards going up OF
down?

POLITICS OF GOVERNORS.

No republican governor of Oregon
Sas ever succeeded himself.
From February IA, 1859. the date
On which Oregon was admitted into
she Union, there have been IL gover-
uors of OreGon-six democrats and
1--WE republicans. The only ones who
nave been reelected were J. F. Gro
yer, a democrat, and Sylvester Pen
aoyer, a democrat.
While Oregon has long been a re-
publican state, the democrats have
slected over half her governors, be-
hides holding the honor of having
elected two of their candidates for
second term.
Only two instances occur in the his
tory of the state where republican
has succeeded a republican. A. Z.
Gibbs. a republican, was succeeded by
e. l. Woods in 1866. and William p.
FORD was succeeded by T. T. Geer in
1899.
There have never been three re-
publican governors elected in success

Grover, Chadwick and Thayer-Gro'
yer succeeding himself, making foul

session.
The election of George E. Chamber
ain in 1902, kept up the ancient tradi
lion of the state in not extending thu
republican succession past two terms
Lord and Geer, republicans, were sue
seeded by Chamberlain. democrat.
According to the same ancient ira
aition, Chamberlain should succeed
himself, as only democrats are thu
honored, it seems, in that office.

BENEFITS OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE

The Portland Evening Telegram Of
October II, says:
"In the extent. variety and general
excellence of its agricultural display at
the fair, Colorado easily leads all the
states participating, with the excep-
ton of Oregon. This was accomplish
,ed by the Colorado state commission
despite the fact that the appropriation
available was small"
One of the claims of the advocates
of woman suffrage has been that, in
asmuch as women have all their lives
been forced to grapple with the prob
lem of making a dollar go as far. a.
possible. woman suffrage would intro
duce economy into the administration
OF public affairs, and that public Off
cials, responsible to women voters
would have to give a good account OF
themselves in the expenditure of pub
lie moneys.
The above facts seem to bear ou
| this contention, and they do not con
| stitute the only evidence of this char
acter which comes from Colorado.

orado, at an expenditure Of $4,000
