to s61s, and at the close that was the Of
fering.
A small lot of Capital Traction stock was
taken at 14o, and there was more to be had
at the same price, but the bid remained half
a point below.
The bulk Of the trading took place after
the call, and was mainly confined to the

REMARKABLE SURGERY.

c. A Mccartney of South Pasa-
dena. whose Reart and lung were torn
by buck rake, was able to walk on
the Fourth of July, thanks to the
skill of DR.. Thompson of Burbank.
who only three years ago graduated
from Rush Medical college at Chicago.
Mccartney was riding a motorcycle
in the dark and collided with a huge
rake sticking out from passing
wagon. prong penetrated his body
seven inches, tore the lower lobe Of
his left lung. broke his bronchial
tube, pushed his heart four inches
out of position, drove six-inch Sec
tion of his fifth rib into his back and
split so much blood that two and a
half quarts of saline solution had to
be injected.
Though DR.. Thompson held the
mans heart in his hand for eight sec
onds to wash it, after II days Nc
Cartney was able to get out of bed,
though every one thought the under
takers wagon would call for him long
ago.

PORTIA OF THE POOR.

The east side of New York has a
"Portia" who is making a success of
her chosen vocation. She is Esther
Kuntsler, aged %, and she has be-
come champion for hundreds not only
in the city police courts. but in the
supreme court. She has been regu-
larly admitted to the bar and has a
shingle hung out in Rivington street.
The girl has taken upon herself the
task of defending the poor people of
the East Side. If they can pay. well
and good. If they cannot pay. also
well and good.
She is becoming famous for court
room repartee. She talks to Judge
and jury in a winning manner" and
her witticisms keep everybody in a
good humor. She generally creates
somewhat of a sensation when she
appears in court room. for she
looks more like school girl than a
lawyer. AS she speaks six languages
fluently, her list of clients grows
steadily. Many of the poor whose
rights she has championed look upon
her as sort of angel on earth.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

This metropolitan spirit attracts at
tention as soon as a stranger enters
the city. 1t is moving, brisk, active
city, in sharp contrast to the smaller
town OF the inland empire which are

Growth, development, expansion are
in the very air in Pendleton. The ir-
rigation projects adjacent to this city
have national fame. People in hun
dreds of localities are waiting for the
government project TO be placed upon
the market. Thousands of home
seekers have all the available litera-
ture that ii is possible to secure con-
cerning Pendleton and Umatilla coun-
ty, and so she is not yet at her best
period, although she IS now recog-
niZed as the commercial center of a
vast area comprising as much surface
as is contained in half a dozen little
states of New England and the north
Atlantic coast.

HONOR TO THREE CITIES.

Congress ought, on behalf of hu-
marty and the nation, pass a resolu-
ton for record complimentary to the
people of Oakland, Berkeley and Ala
media. Cal, the little cities across the
bay from stricken San Francisco, says
the Memphis News-Scimitar.
In two days over 100000 men,
women and children, moneyless, al
most unclothed, exhausted and panic
stricken, were dumped into these
cities, whose people rose en- masse
to meet the emergency. Homes,
stores, pocketbooks and hearts were
thrown open.

a single commodity was raised to un-
usual or extortionate price, and when
the only mean dealer IN this side of
the bay undertook to harvest gold
he harvested instead a relief commit
tee who stood him against his coun-
ter and handed his goods over to the
refugees.
From miles back into the country
farmers came with enormous loads OF
hams, eggs, chickens, butter, flour
and potatoes, which they dumped be-
fore the hungry refugees. Conduc-
tors collected no fares. Restaurant
keepers made no charges.

PENDLETON Is APPRECIATED.

1t is refreshing to get away from
Pendleton and learn what people
think of the city from a distance.
In all of eastern and central Ore
gon Pendleton is looked upon ard
called the metropolis and commercial
center of eastern Oregon. She is re-
garded as the one permanent large
city to be built up and maintained in
this part of the state. Her peculiar
situation at the foot of the Blue
mountains and the junction of the
roads, her strong resources and her
accessibility to the interior make her
the logical distributing point and CEN
ter of the eastern portion of the state.
There is no wishy-washy flattery
concerning Pendleton among the peo-
pie of eastern Oregon. They really
and candidly recognize her as the
leading trade center, the logical and
natural commercial hub of the great
section lying east of the Cascades, and
with this sentiment fixed in their
minds, they look to this city for an
unprecedented growth and develop
ment in the future.
While Pendleton realizes this phase
of her life keenly, yet she must be
more impressed with 1t when she
hears people in distant counties and
distant towns speaking of it as a mat
ter of course. 1t gives a reality to
her hopes and stimulates her with a
renewed vigor and life.
All over eastern Oregon people
are guided by what is being done in
Pendleton. The prices of horses, cat
tie, sheep, hogs, wheat fruit and
other products are fixed according to
the prices in Pendleton.
If a man wants to sell horses he
drives them or ships them to Pendle-
ton from the distant counties; If a
man MdilS u IL tNlcu
to Pendleton where the sheepmen OF
three counties congregate; If man
wants work he comes to Pendleton;
If a person is dangerously i'll the Pen
dleton hospital is the first place that
suggests itself TO residents of eastern
oregon.
So in this manner Pendleton is be-
coming the Portland of eastern Ore
gon. She Is to eastern Oregon whet
Portland has been to Oregon for a
quarter Of a century. the commercial
center, the guide. the hub of al
movements and activities.
The intensity of this sentiment in
eastern Oregon can scarcely be real
lied by Pendleton people. They know
that 1t exists in measure, but few
realize the extent and sincerity Of 1t
1t is scattered broadcast by travel.

\ TIP TO IDAHO.

Idaho is about to enter bitter
contest for the election of a United
States senator.
Oregon has had some experience
along this line, and as an older sister
is in a position to give advice.
With the election OF senator in
the hands of the legislature, un-
speakable corruption is certain. 1t
has been seen in Idaho before. in
Oregon and every other state Money
and conspiracy will demoralize the
entire legislative session, at which a
senator is to be chosen.
Oregon has advanced a century be-
yond this old plan. 1t seem as
though the world is a mile behind
Oregon in the matter of popular leg
islation. Although Oregon's next
senator is not actually elected by the
legislature, enough Legislators are
pledged in black and white to vote
for the peoples choice, that the mat
ter is settled in advances
Let Idaho pledge her legislative
nominees to statement No. /, assur-
ing the people that their choice will
be respected, and then let the voters
of Idaho choose their senator.
1t is a simple matter and yet there
are such tremendous questions of
government in it. 1t will settle the
entire vexed question OF the senator
ship. 1t will cleanse the legislature.
1t will leave the session free to trans
act its business untrammeled by bit
terness. 1t will be a recognition of
popular government which is becom-
ing to new and virile western state
like Idaho, and it will assist Oregon
in Introducing this plan to the more
sluggish and non-progressive states,
Idaho initiated Oregon on many
occasions, but there has never been
better example set up for her ad-
vancement than this new plan of
choosing a United States senator.

SOCIALISTIC AUSTRALIA

by the principals of Australian houses.
At the recent agricultural show in

to be rapidly superseding steam and

The commonwealth parliament Is
not expected to take up the federal

that the federal customs authorities

imported whole may be free, separ-
ate duty is imposed on each part i'm
ported separately. No provision in
the federal customs act meets such
cases. and the custom officers are
therefore free to do as they please.

A BURRO AND A THISTLE.

The Rocky mountain burro, one of
the most sagacious of animals, seeks
the thistle as a favorite food, and the
pungent spines with which 1t protects
its leaves at every angle are doubtless
a recognition on its part of this fond
ness of grazing animals for it. Few ex-
periences of frontier life are more
amusing than to watch the donkey's
attack upon a large bull thistle. He
walks about It, seeking for favorable
opening projects his lip gingerly
against its spines. and jerks back as
he feels its prick. He surveys it pen
sively for a moment or two and then
slowly raises his foot and strikes It.,
pausing to watch the effect of the
blow. He then perhaps strikes it from
the other side and watches 1t tgain.
The blows become rapid and at length
1t is broken down, and thoroughly
trampled, after which 1t is consumed
to the last vestige.-Country Life in

SICKNESS FROM FROZEN MEAT

Consul Hamm, at Hull, reports that
the committe of the board of guardi-
ans of one of the warehouses; in that
city held a meeting June ~. at which
the medical officer reported that
there had been serious outbreak of
diarrhea and sickness in the institu-
tlon. There were 35 cases in all, six
Of which proved fatal.
The medical officer ascribed the
outbreak to the use of frozen meat
obtained from Argentina. He also as
serted that a large quantity of the
same kind of meat received from Ar
gentina had been destroyed the pre-
vious day as unfit for use. The mat
ter is being thoroughly investigated.
1t is asserted that the same kind of
meat is supplied to the army and
navy. the warehouses; throughout the
country, and is also placed on board
trawlers and ships sailing from Hull.

SLANG BARRED FROM SCHOOLS

Slang must "skidoo" from the pub
lie schools of this city says the Phil
adelphia Record.
That is the decree handed down by
the board of education's committee on
elementary schools.
For some time past the prevalence
Of slang expressions in the vocabu-
laries of the public school teachers
has worried the members of the
board.
Simon GratZ, a veteran member
suggested as a few of the pet, every
day slang expressions that must be
abolished the following:
Skidoo.
Beat 1t while your shoes are good
Twenty-three and beat 1t.
Eighteen and a bottle of milk.
Fade away.
Get busy.
Cut 1t out.
Back up.
Quit your kidding.

THE CAMEL BITES.

The camel is dangerous animal to
ride-a much more dangerous ami
NAL than the horse-for the reason
that, with his serpentine neck, he can
reach around when annoyed and bite
his rider.
Camels are not all the patient, quiet,
kindly creatures they are painted.
They have nasty tempers. A caravan
crossing the desert, is always noisy;
the loud and angry snarls of the cam
els make the waste places resound.
A camers bite is serious matter.
The strong teeth lock in the wound,
and a circular motion is giveh 10 he
jaw, around and then back again, be-
fore the teeth are withdrawn again.
The wound is horrible one. There
are few camel drivers without camel
scars.
DR.. Nachtigal, the celebrated Afri-
can explorer once said to a youth who
expressed a sentimental desire to
cross the Sahara on camelback:
Young man, I'll tell you how you
can get a practical idea of what rid
ing camel in an African desert is
like. Take an office stool, screw II
up as high as possible, and put IL
along with n savage dog, into a wag-
on without any springs. Then seat
yourself on the stool, and have IL
driven over uneven and rocky ground
during the hottest parts of July and
August, being careful not to eat OF
drink more than once every two days
and letting the dog bite you every
four hours. This will give you n faint
idea of the exquisite poetry of camel
riding i'm the Sahara. Exchange.
