HAS 143 STUDENTS
WESTON NORMAL NOW
AT HIGHEST TIDE.
With Sufficient Dormitory Facilities
IL is Believed the Attendance Would
Reach 200-Wallowa County Sends
Largest List of Any Outside Coun-
ty-Over so Young Men Attending
Normal This Year.

President r, c. French of the Wes-
ton Normal school, was in the city
this forenoon in the interest of the
school and he is delighted with con-
ditions there this year. Without So
licitation beyond Umatilla, Union and
Wallowa counties, the Normal now
has an attendance of 14S, the largest
ever recorded, and the dormitory ia
cilities are overcrowded.
AS soon as Secretary p. A. Worth
ington of the board of regents returns
from Chicago a meeting of the re-
gents will be held and arrangements
will be made for presenting the APP
preparation and maintenance bill to
the coming session of the legislature
The largest number of students
from any outside county is registered
from Wallowa county and with DOR
mitory facilities President French be-
lieves the attendance would reach to
at least 200 students.
One remarkable feature of the, at
tendance this year is the large num-
ber of young men attending school,
There are over so young men, many
of them 20 to % years of age taking
a full Normal course. Nothing in the
entire Normal school question exhibits
the need of this school in eastern
oregon as strongly as this fact.

RELIC OF WHITMAN MASSACRE.
Muzzle Loading Pistol Found on the
Scene of the ButChery.

What is perhaps one of the most
interesting historical relics ever dis
covered in this section of the state
was brought to the Bulletin office to-
day. says the Walla Walla Bulletin
1t is an old muzzle loading, cap and
ball, single barrel horse pistol found
near the Whitman monument by c.
A. Newton, a local electrical engineer
while running survey on the historic
spot where the Whitman massacre
occurred. The handle, long since de-
cayed from exposure to the elements
is entirely gone and the steel is rusted
and weather beaten.
That it is one of the weapons used
at the time Marcus Whitman and his
little band of missionaries were mas
sacred there is not the slightest doubt
Not only the location and the condi-
ton in which 1t was found all point
to this fact, but the make of the pis-
tol itself proves this.
There is still part of load in the
barrel, but Mr.. Newton has drilled
most of it out and is cleaning up the
gun with the idea of putting 1t on ex'
hibition in some store window in the
city. He says he would not part with
1t for any monetary consideration.

LAND BUSINESS ACTIVE.
Large Increase Shown In Walla Walla
Office.

That the irrigation development of
the inland empire has stimulated land
business in shown by the report of
the Walla Walla land office. The
Walla Walla Union says:
According to the report OF A. j.
Miller, receiver for the local land Of
flee, the business for the month of
November has been above the aver
age, although not as high as some
other months. From 26 sales, en-
bracing 699,55 acres, and 179S,6S
acres commuted homestead entries,
the cash sales amounted 10 S4252.7S,
while the fees and commissions of the
office were S1S29.25, making total
for the month of November of S5,-
5S2.0S.
During the month just closed there
were eight original desert land en-
tries, consisting of 1S44.62 acres, S3
homestead entries embracing 4S73.96
acres 54 final homestead entries of
S065.05 acres, and 22 cancellation no
tices.
The business during the last
month was exceeded by February,
March, July and October. October
was an exceptionally large month, the
cash land sales and fees and commits
sions amounting to more than double
that of November.

rlADE FR0n NATIVE ROOTS.
"a SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots Of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
Of human maladies Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value OF some OF these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw 10 get well as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papOose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe'
male weaknesses. DR.. Pierce uses the
same root-called Blue Cohosh-in his
"Favorite Prescription" skillfully com.
bined with other agents that make II
more effective than any other medicine In
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful arrangements peculiar TO women.
Many afflicted women have been saved
from the operating table and the sur
geon's knife by the timely use of Doctor
Pierccs Favorlte Prescription. Tender
ness over the lower pelvic region, with
backache, spells OF dizziness, faintness,
bearing down pains or distress should not

scription" will work marvellous benefit
in all such cases, and generally effect a
permanent cure II persisted In for rea-
sens Bile length of time. The "Favorite
Prescription" is harmless agent, being
wholly prepared from native medicinal
roots, without drop OF alcohol In It's
make up, whereas all other medicines,
put up for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of sprtuous liquors, which
are very har nful, especially TO delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription con
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit
forming drugs. All its ingredients are
printed on each bottle wrapper. II Is a
| powerful invgorating tonic, lmparting
health and strength in particular to the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak
and sickly women, who are "worn-out,"
or debiltatod, especially for women who
work in store, Office, or school room, who
sit at the typewriter or sewing machine
or bear heavy household burdens, and for
nursing mothers, DR.. Pierce's Favorlte
Prescription will prove. a priceless benefit
because Of its health restoring and
strengthening power.
For constipation, the true, scientific
cure is DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets

Things today are different. Il IS

ways imposes its caprices and accom-
pushes It's designs in everything has
been victorious.
The congregation has won ous.
Public opinion, the lessons of ex-
'perience, the views of eminent nv

whose Interests are threatened. have
been treated with supreme disdain
by the redemptionists.

ia lrs that coterie of burearcratS
can impose their will and capr;ces.
particularly in mater of such recog-
nized importance as the one under
consideration; but it is 2 fact that
such is the case.
It was foolish to expect anything
different; waste of time TO irnaqi-
ne that the Executive Council would:
III this matter, conform to what ius
tice asked, to expect that the good
cause would find any support among
the bureaucrats.
Experience should have taught Us
that they would always be found in
an attitude hostile to the collective
desires of the country, that the
clients of the budget have no wish to
comply with the mandates Of public
opinion.
All the science, the theories and
the plans OF the government would
seem to lead to this conclusion.
With this, the congregation appears
TO be content, it has no other aspira-
ton and we should expect nothing

On Thursday, while we we're ex-
pressing the hope that the Executive
Council would refuse to ratify the
celebrated contract for furnishing
refrigerated beef to the charitable
Institutions of the Island, the congre-
cation in council assembled was gi-
wing its sanction to the indefensib1e e
project.
There is no longer any hope. The
congregsntes have believed it the
most natural thing in the world to
let the children of the asylums aid in
furthcring the refrigerated beef
industry of the United States.
1t was an unfortunate mistake TO
build any hopes or expectations on
that aggregation. It is.useless, from
every standpoint, useless and impos-
siblc to pretend that those bureauc-
rats would listen to the dictates of
reason or in any way be influenced
by sense of justice.
What has happened ought to have
been expected; the Executive Csun-
Gil has ranged itself on the side Of
the industry of refrigerated beef
without needing in the slightest
degree the voices raised in defence
of the children confined in the char
table asylums against the dangers
from that kind of food.
Nevertheless, all the arguments
which have been advanced in oppos
ition to the furnishing of the above
class of beef, which can only be
eaten by the poor children with rep
|ugnance, remain unchanged. The
scientific reports which we have pu-
|blished. the recent disclosures OF
the press touching the subject-with
all the nauseating details-have prod
uced feeling of disgust and horror
in the public mind, and all the arg
|umcnts offered have lost none Of
their convincing force; public sent
|iment rebels against the wretched
business which initiates against the
Health of hundreds of children; but
the congregation. bent only on ac-
|complishing its own will and cater
ing to its caprices, does not listen
TO what is said nor heed the prud
recommendations offered.
Up to Thursday there existed .
