1t must be said to the credit of the
saloons that although the East Ore
gonian has bitterly demanded regula-
tion of their business, they have de-
clined to rush to the support of the
Tribune. which has been their mouth
piece and spokesman in all the agita-
tion.
In this the saloons prove that they
utterly despise a thing which they can
buy and sell and trade as so much
garbage. They know that the paper
without backbone or moral courage
is of no use to them nor to any other
business, as an advertising medium.
Method is Not Demanded.
The East Oregonian regrets to
make this statement, since there is
no demand in Pendleton for the
methods of the Tribune. This whole
sale cutting of rates in order to Sc
cure business which it cannot secure
at the regular rates, Is an admission
on the part of the Tribune that its
merits as a newspaper does not ap-
peal to business men and that they
patronize 1t at all.
The people of Umatilla county are
interested in this matter since the
East Oregonian has led the campaign
for better morals, and many, many of
them heartily sympathiZe with the
paper in its fight, and will be ready
to stand by the friends of the paper.
A.. tIa
East Oregonian through this remark
able scheme of the Tribune the read
ers of this paper will be kept in
formed.
The East Oregonian does not an
ticipate any great slump in business
on account of this coup of the Trib-
une. The East Oregonian has a cir
culation that is open to the inspection
of business men at all times. 1t goes
into 80 per cent of the homes in Pen
dleton and the records of Pendleton
postoffice prove every month that 1t
sends out almost twice as much free
and paid mail as the Tribune. Busi-
ness men appreciate these facts and
they invest in advertising space just
don't want a cheap article at any
price.
The East Oregonian carries a line of
clean. decent advertising which it
recommends to its readers, and it en-
joys a circulation among staunch,
sterling, intelligent people which it
heartily recommends to the attention
of advertisers.

over 460 employees of the o. r. &
n. In Oregon, Idaho and Washington
have given up about $4,000 to an alleg-
ed bogus insurance association, IN
sums varying from 50 to $40 each,
within the past six months.
Ire society is the Railway EN-
ployes' Mutual Protective society, and
| its operations have been scattered
over the entire Pacific coast. Yester-
| day Sheriff C. c. Pennington, of Union
county, notified Henry Henson, of La
Grande, TO cease soliciting business for
the company, since It is not authorized
to transact business in the state of Or
egon, the sheriff acting upon author
ity OF Secretary of State f. |. Dunbar
who is insurance commissioner for the
state also, ana who notified the sheriff
to stop the work of agents of he COM
pany in Union county.
The same action will be taken hy
sheriffs OF other Oregon counties
where the company is found doing
business.
The society has preyed upon rail-
road men by claiming to be backed by
the railway employees on the O. r. <
n system by its false representations.
When Secretary of State Dunbar as
certained that the society was operat-
ing extensively in Oregon. he at once
notified II to comply with the insur-
ance laws of the state, pay up its H.
cense and secure a charter, all of
which the company entirely ignored.
Finding that il was still doing bus
iness in defiance of the state laws, the
secretary ordered the sheriff at La
Grande to arrest the agents of the |
company. and it will be forced to sus-
pend operations in Oregon or comply |
with the laws.
Its plan of operation Is to give EN-
ployes an insurance policy carrying a |
provision for both accidents and |
death, the. death policy to be paid in
monthly, and the aeci-
dent insurance in weekly INSTALL
ments.
Since the company is not authorized
TO do business in oregon, all its con-
tracts are void, and its members will
be unable to collect a cent of their in
surance should they be killed or in
jured.
The headquarters of the society is in
San Francisco.
James A. Swart, the O. r. & N.
brakeman who was killed at La
Grande last Tuesday morning. carried
a policy OF $1,000 with this company,
and so far no pretension to pay the
claim has been made by the company.

MAUD SHEEk KIDNAPPING STORY IS
BRANDED AS MALICIOUS FALSEHOOD

The stories of the alleged attempts
to kidnap Miss Maud Sheek, former
ly of this city, by Portland thugs. as
told by the Evening Telegram, are
branded by the oregon Daily Journal
as pure fabrications, intended to cast
discredit on the police force and city
administration of Portland. The
Journal says of the stories published
in the Telegram:
All the lurid stories that have
been printed for the past 10 days in
the Evening Telegram concerning the
reputed attempt to kidnap Miss Maud
Sheek have been branded as false
hoods of the most glaring nature by
the girl herself in affidavits signed
before notary public, which are now
Ia the hands of Mayor Lane and the
chief of police. There is not one word
of truth in the reports. They have
been made from whole cloth, accord
ing to Miss Sheek, by reporters of the
Evening Telegram. who by every con-
ceivable trick known to taking re-
porters, attempted to worm from her
statements which were untrue. She
further said that things had been said

The Morning Tribune of this city
has instituted a plan by which il
boasts that 1t will cause the East Ore
gonian to suspend business through a
lack of patronage from Pendleton
business men.
For the past month II has been
working among the saloons with a
plan to secure an advertisement from
each saloon at a good, stiff monthly
rate, in order that it may have a
large income from saloon advertising,
that it might then be able to cut the
prices of mercantile advertising about
80 per cent, and thus induce mer-
chants to take the cheap rate in the
Tribune rather than pay the regular
rate in the East Oregonian.
Taking advantage of the fact that
the saloons are not friendly to the
East Oregonian because of its fearless
stand for saloon regulation, the Trib-
une has worked its scheme energetic
ally, but it may be said with credit to
the good sense of the saloons that
but one or two of them have accept
ed the space in the Tribune. thus
showing that they know its limited
scope and influence as an advertising
medium among the people of the
county.
When the Tribune found that it
could not thus graft the saloons for
space in its columns for this purpose,
1t then went among the business men
and promised TO cut rates on adver-
tising below half the, regular price,
on one condition. that all merchants
accepting the Tribune's cut rate must
cancel all advertising contracts with
the East Oregonian.
One Advertiser Quits.
w. +. Rihorn, the real estate deal
err is the first man in Pendleton To
accept the proposition of the Tribune,
and last evening ordered his adver-
tisement KILLED" or cancelled in the
East Oregonian, ON the understand
ing, it is alleged, thar MS advertising
in the Tribune will cost him less than
one-half the regular rates.
Since Mr.. Rihorn's contract with
the East Oregonian amounted to but
$40 per month, the East Oregcnian
will continue to do business as of |
yore, without his business.
