ing any meeting no matter how small
or Insignificant 1t may seem.
Pendleton hospitality is proverbial.
State meetings which have been held
here in the past have been handled in
most graceful manner and there is
no reason why this should not be the
central convention point in the inland
empire. Everything is favorable to
the city. Distances to important sec
tons of the inland empire are equal
in every direction, hotel accommoda-
tions are fully adequate, and there is
nothing lacking except the inclina-
ton to go after the conventions.
This will be a part of the mission
of Pendleton Commercial association
hereafter, and to this end the CO.
operation of Pendleton people is de-
sired.

TINIEER IN FLORIDA.

Richly endowed, like her sister
states. with wealth of forest re-
sources, Florida invites lumbermen.
The chief southern pines-long leaf,
short leaf and loblolly-together with
cypress, which form the basis of lum-
hering industry in the east, extend in
to the state, and, with some changes
in the composition of the forest there
offer abundant supplies of well-tried
timbers. Cuban pine, which has a
scattered growth along the coast plain
of the south in general, is abundant
along its western coast in pure stands
or in mixture with long leaf pine and
cypress. At the southern end of the
state cypress swamps abound. On
the coast islands along the southern
shores, mahogany in good quantity
awaits the ak. Finally, the naval
stores industry which draws princi-
pally upon the long leaf and short
leaf pines, finds in Florida a plentiful
source of upplies.-Forestry De-

THE ART OF REFUSING.

The late Daniel Lamont was cele-
brated for his tact. AS private sec
retary to President Cleveland and as
secretary of war he was able to refuse
more people their dearest desires with
less resulting rancor than any man
in the administration.
81 learned the lesson early in life"
explained Mr.. Lamont. There was
a very poor young man in our town
who fell head over heels in love with
a farmers daughter. He was deadly
serious about it, and as poor as poor
could be. The girl knew something
of toll and was weary of it, but she
was fond of the man; her moods left
him alternately elated and depressed.
Il am afraid there is no chance for
me- he confided to a friend one day.
In delicate way she has been dis
couraging my attentions to her.
"'How is she doing it?'
"'oh, very delicately. She told me
yesterday that she was twin, her
mother was twin and her grand
mother was a twin "-Everybody's

MUNICIPAL TELEPHONES.

The advantages of municipal own
ership of the telephone system are
so evident to the people of the cities
of Great Britain that they patronize
the municipal system, when it is op-
Grated in opposition to the company
system. In Hull, the company had
an increase of 335 subscribers during
the year, while the municipal system
increased 526.
Glasgow commenced the operation
of its telephone system April. 1901,
with 1900 phones in service. At the
end of 1904. there were 1880 instru-
ments connected. The charge is S25
for unlimited service over the whole
system, with an alternative of $17 and
cents per message. The gross re-
ceipts from rentals for the year
amounted to $25O.OOO and the work
ing expense $15O,OOO. The total capi-
tai invested is $500. .OOO.-San Fran

IT Is HOME PRIDE.

The Oregon Daily Journal censures
the East Oregonian for urging the
candidacy of Judge Stephen A. Lowell
for United States senator on the
grounds that eastern Oregon desires
this high office once in a quarter of a
century and now presents a fit man
for the place.
What drives Portland to take all
the offices With nher grasp? Is it not
home pride? What drives Portland
to build political fences and raise po-
litical funds and campaign for Port
land men for high office? Is it not
home pride?
And then she deigns to censure
eastern Oregon. which has been de-
MED all political preferment in the
past, for asking this one small boon
at the hands of Portland.
Eastern Oregon is entitled TO this
office Willamette valley is willing
that eastern oregon should have it,
and POrtland's selfishness must not
stand in the way.
Bourne, Cake, Gearin and Smith
are all strictly Portland men. Their
activities center within a small radi-
us with Portland as the central nee
die The people outside of Portland
demand recognition this one time, ant
they present Judge Lowell as theii
candidate.

Ed Howe, the Atchison editor who

grows more Eomcsick and as success

Compared to the towns of China and
India he processes he could better

ing from Ceylon, he says: "You Kan
sas people are going to be admired as
you never were before, on my return;
you are so superior to the people

Mohammedans, Hindus or English, or
other people in general, but l am ac-

better. This trip will at least broaden
my views and cause me to be fondei

1t is objected that $50 is pretty
high price for water under the pro-
posed Tieton government ditch, says
the Yakima Republic. That is sup
posed to be the limit. The water
probably will not cost as much as
$50, and may cost considerably less.
The sum finally charged will repre-
sent the exact proportionate cost for
every acre of watering the land. 1t
will be paid in 10 annual installments
without interest, and during the 10
years there will be no maintenance
tax to pay under the canal. Sixty
dollars an acre for a water right un-

CONVENTIONS FOR PENDLETON

'
Pendleton Commercial association
has created a new committee or bu-
reau-a conventions committee, the
object being to invite as many inland
empire conventions and meetings as
possible TO this city.
This committee can be immeasura-
bly, aided by the cooperation Of PEN
dleton people who are in touch with
societies and organizations having
conventions and assemblies in view in
future. The association invites PEN
dleton people in general to assist in
making this the convention head
quarters of the inland empire.
Railroad facilities here are un-
equalled. facilities for holding con-
ventions of teachers, church socie-
ties. Industrial conventions and insti-
tutes and all classes Of meetings, are
ample. Pendleton possesses two OF
three halls, theater and a number
of large churches, which furnish
room and conveniences for any kind
of meeting For smaller meetings
the rooms Of the Commercial associa
ton are available and with all these
facilities Pendleton offers eXcellen
Inducements for conventions.

NOT AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE.

Those candidates for the legislature
from Umatilla county who are sub
scribing unqualifiedly to statement No.
l with regard to the election of a
United States senator, show by their
acts that if elected they will be truly
servants and representatives of the
people.
No matter for politics or rings. or
factions, these men will vote for the
peoples choice for senator. Can you
conceive of anything more demo-
cratic? Can you conceive of any
more extreme faith in the wisdom of
the whole people?
Those candidates who are not sub
scribing to statement No. l are the
peoples servants with a string to it,
IF THE POLITICAL PARTY OR
THE FACTION DEMANDS THEIR
SERVICES WHEN THE ELECTION
OF A SENATOR COMES ON, TO
THE WINDS WITH THE PEOPLE.
These representatives who have re.
fused to sign the pledge will be
found voting wherever the boss di.
rects, regardless of the people:
choice. This is the logical conclu
sion even this early, for if such were
not to be the case why should they
object to pledging to the people now
regardless of any. future politca
crisis or emergency?

O'Clock, q shot was heard, but
nothing was Thought of it, except
that Paullis had seen q deer and
had shot it. He did not return
home in the morning and his

Two wounds were found, one
in the left side of the neck, which
struck the neck bone; the other
was in the right leg, which was
found to be a buckshot wound.
Judging from the wounds,
Paullis was killed by a charge of
buckshot, fred by some unknown
party, who undoubtedly mistook
him for a deer. Those living
near the Paullis home state that
he was not of quarrelsome
disposition and had no enemies,
so far as known, which indicates
that the shooting was not inten.
tional, so far as killing Paullis is
concerned. T.

The jury returned verdict
that "said Sam Paullis was killed
by gun loaded with buckshot in
the hands of some unknown per-
son, and we, the jury, agree that
the actions of Billy Raddeau look
suspicious"
The evidence given at the trial
showed that Raddeau, who lived
near Paullis, came through the
woods while the corpse was being
watched and that he acted very
queerly, refusing to assist in any
manner in caring for the body !;
that he drew mis- money from a
bank in Blackduck, the day the
body was found and has not been
seen since.
