clever trap into which Black Hehri
had drawn him he was nounderlug
in the water. An exciting moment
passed. during which Picard heard q
loud pop In the rear that mingled
with the bamed yell Of the man who
had tried to lure him to destruction.
He couldn't look back. for Don had
his forefeet planted upon nrm loo on
the other side of the sunken section,
and he would need to be steadied.
The dog knew his master and
mates were behind helpless. Do
pending upon his efforts alone to save
them. Now was the time to show
his worth-the mettle of his race. He
took ono swift rearward glance; saw
the anxious face Of his master speak
ing encouragingly with only his head
out Of the cold grip Of tho Macken-
zie; his faithful followers founder
ing, yelping and splashing at his
heels. Then he knew his work-he
had heard the battle call before. A
quick breath. and his strong shoui.
ders shot into the collar with an I'm
pact that Strengthened every trace In
the line. His claws sunk In and his
hold held. while his powerful neck
bent slowly down in the strain till his
sensitive nose Just touched the ice
under him.
"Don!" a steady voice fell upon his
ears. Easy" finished the com
mand. And the veteran leader IN.
derstood. for he held what he had
gained and waited patiently with aet
muscles. At last when he was all but
slipping the strain eased and he
moved forward and up. The dog be-
hind him secured foothold. One SEQ.

yanked from the Icy clutch of the
black water. Picard rested his
chilled hand upon the dripping head
Of the faithful leader.

wagged his tail and barked. then

dismissed.
Picard turned to see what had be.

just getting out onto firm ice. But
Black Henri himself was grovelins
upon a tottering ice cake ringNd
round with silent. mysterious water.
He shook his horny fist at Picard. and
the cake slanted with the motion.
The man tried desperately to right
his ice raft, but in vain, for It tipped
more and more until at last unable to
retain his hold, the miserable man,
with furious oath, slipped slowly
into the black embrace Of the Mack,
enzie. The ragged edge OF the Ice
came down. and the opposite side
rose high In the air with loud
swash, then toppled back again just
as Black Henri's head came to the
surface in the eddy directly beneath
the descending chunk. Down came
the massive cake with a terrific
splash. and the great north was for.
ever rid Of a hated pirate and cheat.
Black Henri had reached the end Of
his last trail.

Few people probably suspect the
extent to which Switzerland figures
among the silk-producing countries OF
the world, which. SO far as Europe is
concerned. have always been supposed
to be France and Italy. But Switzer'
land exports annually silk to the value
of about $4,000. 900. nearly all going

Black Henri heard the canine voice
and looking back, saw his pursuer for
the first time. He leaned forward. and
vainly tried to get more speed out Of
his tired team. Suddenly his eyes
distended with horror, for he saw a
deadly danger. Then he smiled, for
he saw . chance to cheat again.
Crack! went his whip. and the leader
leaped out, but seeing the danger at

AWAIT MATLOCK's RETURN.
Ball Players Hope to Secure Better
Terms From the Mayor.

No satisfactory arrangements have
yet been made for the baseball
grounds for the season, and the men,
bers of the committee are now await
ing the return of w. F. Matlock from
his eastern trip. The boys are in
hopes that upon Mr.. Matlock's return
he could be persuaded to accept a
flat rate for his grounds, so as to
make team possible. However, the
Matlocks are not expected home until
early in May, and should nothing be
done until then the early part of the
season would be lost.
In behalf of the committee, Carl
Cooley and Tom Milarkey made an
investigation Sunday of other propos-
ed grounds. But they say they could
find nothing suitable. and that il
baseball is to be played here this sea
son the Matlock grounds must be
used.

schools will be admitted free of
charge and are cordially invited to
take advantage of the course of train
ing.
Mr.. Traver organized this school of
primary method two years ago in Sa-
lem and it is the only one of the kind
in the northwest. He had about 40
teachers in the school last year at
Salem, these representing 19 counties
in the three northwest states. He has
applications from five teachers in
Gillian county and two in Morrow
besides a large number from this
county and expects to open with a
good attendance.
He has secured positions for teach
ers taking this course in primary
method in Spokane, Seattle, Portland
Baker City, Eugene, Walla Walla and
other cities in the northwest, and in
several cities the school boards insist
on this sort of training for primary
teachers.

dismissed, and the litigation in which

as his fee. At the instance of Judge
Fee, this was done by Mr.. Dodd per-

court room. A check for $3.50, the

him by Dodd, and Immediately after

Last night the business men of
Pendleton met in the Commercial as
sociation rooms and formed an organ
ization for the purpose of advancing
the commercial interests of the city,
and for their mutual protection. The
association is similar in purpose to
that formed year ago, but which was
soon given up through having no per-
manent meeting place.
The meeting last night was called
by Leon Cohen, president of the Com
mercial association, and at s o'clock
a score or more business men gather
ed in the library room of the Com
mercial association. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. Cohen, and T..
c. Taylor was selected as permanent
chairman. R. f. Tarbett, of the Fair
Store, was chosen as secretary.
II was decided to appoint a COM
mittee to draw up bylaws for the
governing of the organization, and the
following were named as this COM
mittee: NJ. A. RAIDER, C. E. Gray and
Joseph Tallman. Among other things
this committee will determine who
are eligible to membership.
Also, a committee on gratis" was
appointed as follows: NJ. A. RAIDER, w.
j. Clarke, c. E. Roosevelt, H. Harri-
son and 4. ]. Murphy. To this COM
mittee will be referred all transient
advertising schemes that may seek to
do business in the city. Unless the
sanction of the committee can be Sc
cured, such schemes are not to be
patronized by members of the asso-
citation.
Celebrate Fourth of July.
Upon motion of Lee Teutsch, the
meeting expressed itself in favor of a
Fourth of July celebration here this
year. AS it is now three years since
the eagle screamed in Pendleton, it
is the desire to have a celebration in
keeping with the town. 1t is. said that
after the business men have complet-
ed their organization further stems
will be taken towards arranging for
a celebration. H. ..
Nothing to Do With Prices.
According to the members of the
newly formed association it will not
attempt any regulation of prices,
though a blacklist of dead beat" ac-
counts will be maintained. In gen.
eral, the purpose of the association
will be to work for the advancement
of the business interests, and for mu-
tual protection.

CUTTERS ARE CLEANED.
Some Effort Made to Stop Main Street
Stencil.

Early this morning several gangs of
men were placed at work cleaning the
cutters on Main and Court streets.
One of the crews was composed of
prisoners from the city iail and work.
ed under direction of Marshal Cur
dane. The cutters were cleared of
the mud, which was hauled off in
wagons. Also, an effort was made to
drain the surface water from the
curbs, but with poor success, as the
drainage system is poorly constructed.
Although the work today has made
the stencil on Main and Court streets
more offensive than before the clean
ing will be of benefit, as otherwise
the slime in the cutters would have
soon become unbearable.

Prospects Now Poor for Early Spring

Next Sunday will be the first of

latter the stores of the city are now
showing displays of fishing rods, lines
and other anglers supplies.
However, the water in the river is
now so high and muddy that there
will be no good fishing for some time
yet. Nevertheless, some are planning
to try their luck Sunday, though the
experienced nimrods declare they will
wait for a couple of months.
