AT this season of the year" said
Mr.. Brock of the Brock & McComas
Co., the other evening, there isn't a
man, woman or child in Pendleton
who does not need a medicine to
purify and enrich the blood to in
duce an appetite, to promote diges-
tion and create strength. and we are
safe in saying we have never sold
anything in our store equal to Vinol
for this purpose"
This new way or administering the
vital principles OF cod liver oil has
wrought a wonderful change in the
field of medicine. There is no need
to take greasy oil, emulsions or pois-
onous drugs to purify and enrich the
blood and create health and strength,
for we guarantee that pure, simple
and delicious preparation, Vinol, will
do it, or your money will be return
ed.
Mrs Rose Lavigne. of Burlington,
VT, writes: "vinol is the best spring
medicine l have ever used; it cre-
ates an appetite, purifies the blood
and takes away all feeling Of lassi-
tude. My work, which seemed a.
burden before taking Vinol. is now a
| pleasure"
Mr.. w. ]. Stewart, of Chelsea,
Mass, writes: 81 was all run down
and in a devitalized condition; Vinol
quickly built me up and brought
back health and strength"
Mr.. ]. B. Keener, Augusta, Ga,
writes: when one gets all run
down. loses appetite, feels listless,
worn out and nervous, have found
nothing so good as Vinol TO restore
strength and health"
Said Mr. Brock: 81 could go on
quoting from hundreds of such let
ters. and wish I could persuade
every person in Pendleton to try VI
mol this spring on our guarantee to
return money IL they are not bene-
fitted" Brock & McComas Co, drug

AGAINST TAX LAW
WASHINGTON SHEEPMEN OBJ
JECT TO BEING TAXED.
New Law in Oregon Taxing Outside
Sheep 20 Cents Per Head Raises a
Storm of Protest in WaIIa WalIa,
Columbia and Garfield Countles-
Oregon Law VIII BE Tested.

A meeting of the sheepmen of
Southeastern Washington was held in
the offices of Attorney II. c. Bryson,
in this city, yesterday, says the Walla
Walla Union. The object of the meet
ing was to consider ways and means
for contesting the validity of law
team of four dogs and made the trip
Oregon legislature, making a grazing
tax of 20 cents per head on sheep
and goats, and so cents per head on
cattle, horses and mules, effective.
The law provides an additional charge
of cents per head for sheep and
goats and 10 cents per head for
horses, mules and cattle for each ad-
ditional county passed through; in
addition to the first. The effect on
the sheepmen of this section is a 25
cent per head tax, their sheep going
into Union and Umatilla counties.
A committee composed of w. P.
Reser, II. c. Bryson and S. V. DAWN
was empowered to pursue whatever
course their good judgment directed
tending to contest the legality of the
enactment.
Many of the sheepmen express the
opinion that If the law is upheld they
will have to retire from the business
An additional item of expense of 25
cents per head makes sheep grazing
prohibitive. 1t is probable that the
sheepmen who met today own $780,
600 head of sheep, and the tax is
enormous under the new law.
The committee appointed were
vested with absolute authority to di-
rect a defense to the tax collection
and it is believed federal case will
result, If any Jurisdiction facts car
b. had.
The course to be pursued by the
committee could not be ascertained
They held their first meeting, but
none cared to talk for publication.

In one of the Indian wars Military
Storekeeper Eckerson was greater
man than the brigadier geenral com
manding the department. The COM
manding officer was at San Francis
CO. nearly 500 miles away.
In 1855 the governors of oregon
and Washington called upon the mill

munitiOn. The Indians had been
committing numerous depredations.
had killed many settlers burned
houses and stolen stock general
uprising of settlers resulted. The
settlers were anxious to punish the
savages, but they were withOGt arms
and ammunition. Hence the call of
the governors for guns, powder and
lead. Eckerson submitted the re-
quest to General John e. Wood, COM
mander of the army of the Pacific
coast. General Wood promptly re-
not be granted, saying there was no
authority for it.
By this time the Indians were re-
doubling their efforts and scores of
innocent women and children were
being slaughtered. The governors re-
newed their demand for arms. The
storekeeper had heretofore always
obeyed orders. Should he disobey
now? He was close enough to the
scene of action to witness the smoke
of the burning homes.
Early one morning he asked him.
self: What are these guns for, and
why is this ammunition here? I will
issue all they ask for, If 1t costs my
commission"
The guns were issued, 5000 of them
with the necessary ammunition
Good use was made of them. The
savages were severely punished by the
settlers.
Captain Eckerson promptly report
ed his action to the secretary of war
at that time jefferson Davis. Mr.
Davis approved the action of Ecker,
son and directed him to accept th'
receipts of the governors of Oregon

ammunition, and to drop them in hi

HOMEGROWN NUTS.
WalIa Walla County Collects Large
Exhibit for Lewis and Clark Fair.

Nalla Nalla County COLLECTS Large
Exhibit for Lewis and Clark Fair.
An interesting collection of nuts
and cereals grown in the Walla Walla
valley were placed on exhibition in
the Green & Jackson Drug company
show window this morning by Fruit
/ Inspector Morse, who collected the
exhibit during his travels about the
county, says the Walla Walla States
man.
The collection in all probability
will be turned over to the committee
to be appointed tomorrow to gather
an exhibit for the Lewis and Clark
exposition to demonstrate that Walla
Walla county can raise almost any
thing that grows. Sixteen varieties
of nuts, all homegrown, are shown
as follows: Hard-shelled almonds,
American sweets, filberts, japanese
haZelnut large butternut, small black
walnut hazelnuts, hickorynuts, Ital-
ian hazelnuts. Swedish hazenuts.
English walnut white oak and buck
eyes.
In addition to the nut exhibit Mr.
Morse has collected six different va
rieties of corn. four varieties of wheat
and samples of Tom Thumb corn,
beans and other seeds.
Each of the different varieties of
nuts and cereals are exhibited sep
arately in glass jars. The collection
attracted considerable attention from
Walla Walla people today who were
unaware that so many varieties of
nuts could be grown in the valley.

MORE MONSTER STEAMERS.
Canadian Pacific VIII Go Jim Hill
One Better.

One Better.
The two new passenger steamers
which the Canadian Pacific Railway
company will add to its Atlantic fleet
/ in the early spring of 1906, will be the
| finest vessels of the kind ever built.
Some idea of the size of the vessels
may be gained from the fact that they
will be $50 feet between perpendicu-
| lars. with a 65-foot beam.
They will be 14,500 tons, which
forms a much greater tonnage than
either the Tunisian or the Bavarian.
Not only will the vessels. then, be
much finer than any vessels on the
route, but they will be the largest
that have ever visited st. Lawrence
waters.
The directors of the Canadian Pa
cific railway have passed upon the
plans. and the contracts for the two
vessels. which will be carried out in
their entirety by the Fairfield Ship
building company, of Glasgow. The
vessels will be ready in April and
May, 1906.
Although the Canadian Pacific
Railway company has no contract for
carrying mails on the Atlantic, and
while the company is carrying out its
design altogether irrespective Of
granting or Withholding of such a
contract. it has been stipulated that
the vessels in question will have a
speed of 90 knots an hour, that will
bring them within the conditions that
the government exacted in ,this re-
spect when calling for tenders in the
past.
The vessels will consequently be
able to carry mails between Queens
town and Rimouski in five and one
half days. while the distance between
Liverpool and Quebec will be readily
covered i'm six and one-half days
