CONVICT SUICIDES.
Ed Bloom Throws Himself From
Wall at Walla Walla.

Walla Walla, Aug. 1O.-Ed Bloom,
convict, committed suicide at the
penitentiary at $50 this morning by
throwing himself from the side of the
walls to the stone floor, a distance OF
80 feet. He died at S:15.
Bloom, when the levers were thrown
this morning to let the convicts out Of
their cells, remained behind, and when
all had passed ran out of his cell to the
end OF the corridor, where he climb
ed up the side of the building by the
aid of the bars and cross pieces. After
shouting goodbye to a fellow convict,
who was lying in his cell, sick, he
threw himself backward to the con-
crete floor, and lighting on his head
and shoulders. He was picked up by
the guards and carried to the hospital,
where he died at S:15.

HOPE TO ELECT
S7OCKSLAGER
IDAHO DEMOCRATS RUN
STRONG STATE TICKET.
Payette Attorney and Delegate to the
Occur d'Alene Convention, is Con-
fidcnt About the Result of the Fall
Elections i'm That State-Conyention
Endorsed Bryan and Dubois and
Also Declared for Commonwealth
Ownership.

j. L. Seawell, a prominent young
attorney of Payette, Idaho, was in the
city last evening while on his way
home from attending the Idaho dem
ocratic state convention which was
held at Coeur d'Alene City. Mr.. Sea-
well was a delegate to the convention,
and regarding the political prospects
in Idaho this year he said:
81 believe we have put the strong
est men we have in the state on our
ticket, and with the strong, clean
platform on which they stand they
should be elected We are confident
of electing Judge Stockslager as gov
ernor. and have hopes of carrying the
state for the entire ticket.
Judge Stockslager's personality
will certainly land him in the COVER
nor's chair, for he is immensely pop
ular with all classes, and among his
staunchest admirers and supporters
are many lifelong republicans who
will not submit to the Gooding type
of machine-made candidates"
Regarding the democratic platform
adopted at Coeur d'Alene Mr.. Seawell
said:
I'VE have a strong anti Mormon
plank that brings the issue squarely
before the people and gives them a
chance to settle once and forever the
proposition of Mormon interference in
politics.
"There are also planks endorsing
Bryan for the democratic presidential
nomination in 1908, and one declar-
ing for an eisht-hour day for miners
engaged in the smelling, reduction
and handling Of mining ores. Also a
plank declaring for the state and
municipal ownership or public utili-
ties.
Senator Fred T. Dubois was
strongly endorsed by the convention,
and the legislative nominees have
pledged themselves to support him for
reelection. The convention was the
largest and by far the most enthusias-
tic democratic state convention ever
held in Idaho, and a vigorous, enihus-
( n ctic no p,poigp will ha yagad d,ripo o.

1--WE can force the electric and tele-
phone companies to make any reason
able changes desired in their lines on
Main and Court streets. They can be
made to place their poles inside the
sidewalk limit, or on back streets, but
I do not know that we could make
them place their wires underground"
This statement was made today by
City Attorney John McCourt, after
having carefully examined the fran
chises under which the Northwestern
Gas & Electric company and the Pa
cific States Telephone company are
operating i'm Pendleton.
For the past week the proposition
on the streets that are to be paved
has been muddled one, for no one
seemed to know what power the city
had.
Now that the city attorney has given
his opinion the situation is clear, and
II is up to the city council to order
what It wishes. What will be done
remains to be seen, but It is very
likely that the poles will have to be
changed. Just now a quorum Of the
council is not in town. and for that
reason no meeting was held last
Wednesday. However, the matter will
doubtless be taken up next week IL
not sooner.
Since 1t was proposed that the po'es
be taken from the cutters and placed
within the sidewalk limit, considera-
BILE objection to that plan has been
raised by property owners, and a
movement has been started among
them for the purpose of having the
lines run on back streets, or else un-
derground. A petition to this effect
will probably be presented to the
council.
Much regret has been expressed at
the failure of the telephone company
to install their underground system
on Main and Court streets after hav-
ing promised to do so. While it is
known that the construction depart
ment of the company is busy, II is said
the work could be done If they wished,
the plea of lack of material being
buncombe.
Meanwhile the poles, both electric
and telephone, are still in the cutters,
and as the Warren company is ready
to proceed with its contract, prompt
action will be necessary on the part
OF the city government.

RIGID FRUIT INSPECTION.
Walla WaIla VIII See That No Dis
eased Fruit Is Sold.

Walla Walla, Aug. 1O.-Commenc-
ing Monday, all fruits brought into
the city will be submitted to a rigid
inspection, and all that are found to
be affected with any disease, will be
condemned and burned. Fruit In
spector w. A. Ritz states that he will
not allow contaminated fruits to be
sold, if he can help it, and will devote
the most of his time, for the remain
der of the season. i'm enforcing the
state law providing for such inspec-
tion.
All stores wagons. stands or other
places where the fruit is handled will
be inspected by Mr.. Ritz ana any
goods found to be off color will he
destroyed. The state law provides
that condemned fruits must be burned
in order to effectually kill the pests
that cause its diseased conditions.

$1,000 COUNTY MONEY FOR THE FAIR

its and other methods, but not more
than $1,000 may be so used.
Since the county would lose the
$500 premium money and also allow
the law to lapse should no fair be
held this year, it is held that the
court cannot afford TO refrain from
helping the fair. However, a lesser
sum than $1,000 may be voted.
In speaking on the subject this
afternoon Commissioner Walker ad-
vocated fair here so as to secure
Umatilla county the credit 70 rthe
fruit products of the Milton country
Heretofore that section has exhibited
at Walla Walla, no fair being held
here, and the people OF the Garden
City have claimed the Oregon fruit as
her own.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-08-10

II is now probable that the county
court will appropriate $1,000 for the
purpose of providing a county exhibit
at the district fair to be held here be-
tween September "a and 20. This
morning the local members of the fair
commission waited upon the court and
requested that such action be taken,
many reasons being advanced why the
county should assist in financing the
fair.
While no official action has yet been
taken by the court, all three members
have expressed themselves favorable
to the move, and it is almost assured
that the appropriation will be made.
Under the state law a county court
may vote money for the purpose of
advertioing the county by fair exhib-

The bids on the reservoir first
opened were too high. They will be
readvertised September Is, however,
ard If they are still too high, the work
will be done by the government di-

FORTY POUNDS OF GOLD.
A Months Cleanup From the North
Pole Mine

Baker City, Aug. 10.-Emil Melzer
of the North Pole mine, arrived in
Baker last evening with 40 pounds Of
gold from the cleanup or the mine
which had been put through a retort
Forty pounds of gold would amount
to about $4,000 and this would not
be an extraordinary cleanup for the
North Pole mine; in fact, it would be
about an average monthly cleanup.
The gold was from the retort as ANAL
gam is not passed through the banks
in this manner.
Everything is working smoothly at
the North Pole mine and It has long
been one of the steadiest producers in
the Baker district.
