WORTH KNOWING.
A Firm That Is a Credit to Pendleto

At the corner of Main and Court
streets is located one of the best
known and popular drug emporiums
in eastern Oregon.
BY the retiring of two old members
OF this firm-Messrs. Brock and Nc
Comas (Mr. Brock last year and Mr..
McComas about four years ago. it
has been deemed advisable to call
this old-new firm 1.-THE Pendleton
Drug Co."
This firm has recently made ex-
tensive changes and improvements
that win befit any name the word
Pendleton might suggest, and the
general air of the store is now that
OF busy city drug market.
The prescription department in It's
retired position, deserves special at
tention, for the reason that it is con-
venient and well stocked. The dis
penser at all times facing the store
front and Is sufficiently retired that
his attention need not be drawn from
his work whenever accuracy is the
all-important factor. In this depart
ment, which is always in charge of
a registered druggist, is found every
thing required by the physicians and
patient.
The office also faces the store and
the bookkeeper may at all times see
patrons entering. In connection with
the office is the rubber goods depart
ment, where selection from a large
stock of hot water bottles, syringes,
etc, may be made without publicity.
To the right and left of 4 long en-
tryway leading back from the sales
counter is seen shelves heavily stock
ed with articles usually demanded by
the trade-such drugs and chemicals
as are usually sold by weight.
The Photographic department is
represented by a complete stock of
Eastman Kodaks and photo supplies
for both professional and amateur.
Dry plates, papers, card mounts
chemicals, developers, etc. In con-
nection with this department is well
equipped dark room, which is at all
times at the disposal OF customers.
Sulphur sheep dips and other sup
/ plies required by sheepmen are pur-
chased in car lots and stored near the
railroad. These are made a feature
/ by this firm during the dipping sea-
| sons.
| The most notable improvement has
been made in the front of this store,
where a new twentieth century sani-
tary fountain has recently been in
stalled. 1t is sanitary in every re-
spect, all syrups being dispensed from
glass without chance of contamina-
ton from contact with poisonous
metals. This is one of the most con-
veniently arranged and artistic in de-
sign of any soda fomdain in this
| state.
New paper on the walls, floors new
ly covered with linoleum, new paint
on the front and fixtures makes this
old store worthy of wearing the title.

Scientists Discuss Disaster.

WASHINGTON, April l9.-The pos.
sible relation of the earthquake in
San Francisco to the eruption of
Vesuvius formed the subject of dis.
cussion among scientists in this city
today. None of them was willing to
advance any argument which would
tend to connect one with the other. In
fact the officials Of the geological sur.
vey declared that there was no rela-
tionship whatever between these two
disturbances. Prot. C. II. Hayes,
professor of geology of the geological
survey, said:
"The San Francisco disturbances
are due to the slipping of the surface
rocks to adjust themselves to changed
conditions inside the earth. They
have no relationship whatever to the
eruption OF Vesuvius. The interior OF
the earth is in a molten state except in
the region of the volcano, and il

Insurance Companies Are Hit Hard

CHICAGO, April 19.-Fire insurance
companies had about $3.50, 600, 600 at
risk in the city of San Francisco, the
estimate being based on the premiums
received in 1903. For years the Pacific
coast has been the one section of the
country which could be depended upon
for steady profit year in and year
out. San Francisco has been the best
profit.producer of the coast. Its loss
ratio for period of years has been
the lowest, being less than 25 per cent.

unusual proportion of frame construc.

other hand the proportion of insur.

cause OF the overconfidence over the
long immunity from heavy losses and
because there is an insurance clause
in use there, as is the rule in other
large cities. requiring the owner to
carry certain proportion of insur.

Several conservative underwriters
agreed that the property value of the
collapsed and burned buildings prob.
ably will aggregate 800, 900, 900. A
comparison with the Baltimore fire OF
Feb. I, 1904, was instantly drawn in
insurance circles. In that conaagra'

Ten Millions Subscribed.

NEW YORK, April 2l.-The appeal
OF San Francisco has been heard
throughout the civilized world. From
every city and town in this country,
from European capitals and some far
east communities, comes news that all
humanity is expressing it's sympathy
and 10 also Offering enormous material
assistance.
It Is estimated tonight that the San
Francisco fund is rapidlylnearing the
total Of $4,000, 900 and will have
passed that figure on Monday, when
the United States congress-, it Is an
nounced, will add 81, SOC. .oOO:to the o..
100000 already appropriated.
In the list Of generous contributors,
New York city ranks next to the gov.
ernment itself and bids fair to far ex-
ceed the federal contribution. To-
night the New York fund amounted
approximately to $4,000, 900, with con.
tributions coming in fast.
The state of Macs sachusetts has un.
dertaken to raise 90, ,0OO, 900, and with
Bostou's generous help is we'll on the
way to the goal. Chicago's fund Is
appro aching $1,000. 900 and promises
to 90 beyond that sum. Philadelphia
will send $4,000 A score or more
of cities are contributing s100, 900 and
more. Pittsburg has given 800. 900;
Cleveland, 100000: St. Louis.
$500, 900; Sacramento. 100000. and
Seattle, $4,000.
Nor is the work OF raising relief
funds confined to the large cities.
From every section, from every state,
are contributions coming in. Not
large In themselves, their aggregate
will be enormous. Unoounted: thous-
ands are sending their contributions,
and the grand total OF the fund will
pro badly never be known. Across
