NO MASS MEETING.

Republicans VIII Follow Primary Law
In Detail,
No mass meeting of republican
voters will be held in Umatilla county
preceding the primary election ac-
cording to Chairman Frank Curl of
the county central committee, says
the East Oregonian.
Although the democrats have called
mass meeting to be held on Febru-
airy II for the purpose of electing a
new central committee and of dis
cussing candidates who desire NOM
nations, the republicans will not
follow this method but will observe
the primary nominating law in detail
leaving the voters TO select their can
didates as tbe law intends without
the intervention of mass meeting or
convention.
Members of the republican county
central committee will be elected at
the primary election just as other
candidates Wal be selected and it
seems to be the intention to follow
the primary nominating law to the
letter, since it has been adopted by
the state as the method of selecting
capdidates.

DO MILK COWS PAYs

l.. B. Zsll Opines That They Do and
Gives Figures to Prove 1t.
The other day one of my friends
asked me in confidential tone, Does
it really pay to keep milk cows?' says
l.. B. Zell in the Milton Eagle.
Another Que asked what my COWS
were worth. And when / told him
from $40 10 $40 he grinned and re-
marked, it VISA pretty good price.
'sNow these are problems that can be
readily solved. During November
we MIXED three COWS; our check
from the creamery was $15. 80, besides
we had milk and cream for our fami-
ly of eight, the hired man got one
quart per day Of milk and we disposed
of nearly 81 worth of cream to the
neig hbors.
During December we added two
cows to the herd and the milk was
mixed up SO l really don't know what
the returns were. called at the
ceamery the other day and asked
what the returns from the five cows
for January would be, and they said
nearly $40, besides our supply of milk
and cream at home and milk for the
hired man.
These cows are fed alfalfa hay and
beets, and at the present two of them
have smoll feed Of bran. Now any
one of these cows will in two years
pay for herself, her feed and her care.
That is 80 per cent per year on the in

BEAN WANTSCHANCE
COUNTY JUDGE WOULD GO ON
THE BENCH.
If He Cannot Be Elected Circuit Judge
He Will Engage In
Law Practice.

County Judge Bean has big, busy,
buzzing political bee humping and
banging around in his bonnet. He
wants to be circuit judge, and will
resign the office of county Judge, said
resignation to take effect June 8, in
the year of our Lord, 1906, SO that
his successor may be elected for the
next four years at the next June eiec-
ton n''--whatever that may mean. But
anyway, here is Mr.. Beams state
ment:
To the people of Umatilla county: /
beg to say that before the coming
election in June next will resign as
county judge of Umatilla county, to
take effect June 3, 1905, so that my
successor may be elected for the next
four years at the next June election,
and that | am candidate for the nomi,
nation for circuit judge for this dis
trict, comprising Umatilla and Nor
row counties by the republican voters,
at the primary election to be held on
April 20 next, and if nominated will
be candidate for that office at the
next June election.
make this statement after consult
ing many of my friends, in view of
the fact that | cannot afford to de
vote the time that is necessary for
the business of county judge for the
salary now paid, 500 per month.
The fees which have expected to earn
as county judge i'll United States land
matters. have by the ruling of the
United States land office been reduced
approximately $500 per year. and
that work practically all given to
another officer.
| sincerely thank the people for the
many favors shown me, and il the
republicans of this district see fit to
honor me with the nomination for
circuit judge, and am elected, /
shall be glad to serve to the best of
my ability, otherwise / will resume
the practice of law.
Very respectfully,

COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION.
Pendieton association Would Combine
all Commercial Clubs.

Pendieton association Would Combine
all Commercial Clubs.
A movement to organize Una tilla
county commercial club or develop
ment league to be composed of all the
commercial organizations in the
county is now being promoted, says a
Pendleton paper.
Owing to the fact that many east
erD people are now looking toward
Oregon and that the cheap excursion
and tourist rates will soon go into
effect, it is deemed advisable by the
commercial bodies of the different
towns in the county to make some
united, concerted aud systematic
effort to attract settlers to this
county. With county organization
working to this end it is thought that
much more can be accomplished than
by each commercial body working
alone in the matter. Each part of
the county has various attractions and
advantages to advertise and by COM
bining in the work of circulating
literature and inviting capital to
come to the county much more can be
gained than for each town to worry
along in its own way.
So far as canvassed the commercial
bodies of Adams, Weston, Athena,
Echo, Milton and Helix are willing to
cooperate with the Pendleton COM
mercial association in the formation of
a Umatilla county development
league, which may ultimately develop
into Columbia River Basin Develop
ment league, comprising all the COM
mercial bodies in Eastern Oregon and
Washington, with Pendleton the CEN
tral body in the organization.
The matter will be formally brought
before the board of managers of the
Pendleton commercial association
soon, and every effort will be made to
accomplish this result
The year 1906, it is thought, will be
a banner year for immigration into
Oregon and every part of the county
is anxious to secure capital to develop
the various resources and engage in
new enterprises, and the sentiment in
favor of county organization of this
kind, is growing rapidly.

ATHENA WON FIRST
GAME OF THE SEASON

Athena cuffed the Pendleton Bus
iness college gauntlet all over the
diamond Saturday and won the first
game of baseball to be played in the
INLAND Empire this year. The score
was Athena 8, Pendleton s.
Despite the cold, raw day both
teams put up good, clean, snappy ball,
and a fair sized crowd rooted with
old time vim. The teams were evenly
matched. For a time it looked easy
for Athena. Stone had let up little
and two students were froze to the
bases, when Swaggart, a former
Athena player, but now playing short
for the collegians, raped out home
run, clearing the bases and also even
ing matters up little. La Brache
duplicated the swat for Athena in the
next half. Stone settled down and
there wasn't much doing thereafter.
The collegians are husky lot and
play good ball. Athena has an excel
lent infield, and the team as a whole
will in short time be hard to beat
by anything in the light weight class.
DR.. Stone umpired in his usual i'm
partial manner, his decisions being
satisfactory to all. The following is
the lineup of the teams:
Athena-Dave Stone, pitcher; Hugh
Lieuallen, catcher; Dean Dudley, 1b;
Henry La Brache, 2b; Robt. McKinzie
3b; AL Bell, $751;, Ross Maloney, III;
Jesse Smith, CT; Dean Willaby, rf.
Pendleton--White, pitcher; Miller,
2b; Wilson 1b; Mcclure. 3b; Swag-
gart, IS; Clark, IF; Woodell, Of; Pen
land, catcher: Parks. IL.

Care Of Bedroom.

& When buying an enamel bed look
we'll to the brass fittings to see if they
are firmly set and carefully finished,
for it is here that the bed first shows
the signs Of wear. Such trimmings usu-
ally are finished now so that they do
not tarnish, but they are not always
put on SO that they will not get loose
and give. the bed a generally dilapi-
dated look.
Enameling should be done over,

will not get blue and shabby looking.

There is no other article which SO

cost Of replacing and repairing makes
it so well worth while for the house
keeper to use eternal vigilance as the

have them swept monthly with a
