Necessities Of Life Under Protection
in France,


What is popularity known in the
United States as "cornering" such
commercial commodities as are
termed necessities of life is a Grim
inal offence in France. and has been
since 1893. with varying forms of pen
allies.
The law applies to all who destroy
or permit to perish any merchandise
of prime necessity, whether it is the
property of the offender or not
Among the articles thus protected are
grain, bread, meat. wine. vegetables.
fruit. butter, coal, wood and others.
but not tobacco, as that is a govern
ment monopoly.
The law also prohibits manlpula-
tions tending to bring about an ad.
vance or fall in price not warranted
by supply and demand.
The punishment is by both fine and
Imprisonment. and the offender has
his factory or business establishment
placed under police supervision at his
own expense for from two to five
years.
There is no more trouble in han
ding corporations that are offenders
than individuals. Every director and
employee in a managerial capacity are
held equally responsible. For a sec.
ond offense the penalty is so severe
that it would result in the extermina-
ton of almost any establishment.

9Th ANNUAL PICNIC
CALED0NIANs MAKING PREPAR-
ATOMS FOR EVENT.
The Exercises Will Be Held On Third
Street, South of Main
Street.

Preparations are being completed
for holding the sixth annual picnic of
the Umatilla County Caledonian So
citey in this city Friday and Satur-
day.
The program is now complete and
today the big tent owned by the Wes-
ton Pioneer Association, was brought
to town, and will be put up on Third
street, just south of Main. The two
days exercises will be held in this
tent, the walls of which will not be
used unless it rains.
The advertising matter is all out
and the attendance at the picnic is
expected to be large. The numbers
on the program will be interesting.
Some of the best talent on the coast
has been secured to participate in the
Scotch dances and exercises. Mayor
Plamondon will deliver the address of
welcome and Hon. Walter M. Pierce
is on the program for the annual ad-
dress. Will M. Peterson, D. @. Kirk
and others are listed for short address
es. The program, complete, will
be carried out to the letter, for in
event of inclement weather, the crowd
will be sheltered in the big tent. A
large delegation from the Walla
Walla Caledonian society is expected
and the we'll known Caledonian quar-
tette from that city will participate
in the program. The Portland per-
formers will arrive in this city Thurs
day night or Friday morning.

Sunday Morning.

Sunday Morning.
Mrs. Charles Booher died at her
home in this city Sunday morning af-
ter long illness. While she had
been i'll for some time and had been
confined to her bed great deal, her
condition just before death was not
considered worse than it had been of
late and her death came as shock to
relatives and friends.
She expired suddenly, death being
due to heart failure caused by a COM
plication of other ailments. The
funeral was held in the Christian
Church, of which she was member,
yesterday afternoon, Rev. Geo. T.
Ellis of the Baptist church conducting
the services. At the grave, Athena
Circle, Women of Wooderaft conclud-
ed the burial services.
Mrs. Booher was kindly lady and
was held in high esteem by Athena
people, all of whom deeply sympathize
with the family in their bereavement.
She was born August 20, 1855, and
died May 20, 1906, aged 40 years and
nine months. She leaves husband
two sons and two daughters, father
and two sisters and one brother.

complications arise. of which at the
present time there are no indications.

Lines Down and Two Girls Behind
Runaway Horse.
One of the most spectacular run
aways ever witnessed in Athena took
place at the upper end of Main street
yesterday morning.
The family horse owned by Press
Colbern was being driven into town
when it became frightened at a cou-
pie of Indians near the Kirk place.
Miss Irene Dudley and the Henricksen
sisters were in the buggy, one of the
sisters driving. The horse plunged
aud the driver was thrown to the
ground. The reins were dragging and
The horse came into Main street at a
terrific pace, the two girls in the seat
being utterly helpless.
In front of Smiths shoe shop the
lines became tangled in the wheels
and this threw the borse to the ground.
The buggy turned over and the two
girls alightsd safely. Before the
horse could get away again, Miss Ida
Hendricksen pluckily seized the bride
bits and held it until help came.
Katie Hendricksen, who was driving
was injured somewhat when she was
thrown out of the rig. The horse was
injured slightly aud the shafts Of The
buggy were cracked and broken. The
young ladies were fortunate in escap-
ing without serious injury, and only
the horse falling down scared them.

school has been during the last year,
and who was reelected by the school
board, has decided to go to Whitman
College, and the board will have to
look elsewhere for a principal. Mr..

and only does so because he can do
better in the way of salary and have
the convenience of finishing the course
