HE LET IT BLAZE.

The following is told on a Missouri
farmer who stopped at a Third street
restaurant for dinner a few days ago.
He ordered a steak and doped it quite
lavishly with tabasco sauce thinking
it was catsup. He cut off piece Of
the steak and had no sooner placed
it in his mouth than he discovered
that something was wrong. He rolled
the steak from one side of his mouth
to the other and every roll discovered
a spot that had not yet been touched
and set it a-burning. The more he
rolled 1t the hotter 1t got. Finally, In
desperation, he jerked the steak from
his mouth threw It on the floor and
said, NOW, durn you, blaze"-Atch-

NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief.

What fortunate provision of nature
It is. that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height OF its
blooming glory. that n canker fed at It's
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayncss have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks 10 the in
vestgations OF scientists the true cause
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading dru~-

pennileSS, friendless, and a burden
upon the tribe,
Therefore the fear of developing
a sentiment in favor of Indian citi-
Senship causes the old fellows to be
suspicious Of every move of the white
man. Tribal government is guarded
Sacredly Tribal customs are reluct-
antly abandoned. II is like breaking
the Indians neck to break his tradi-
tional customs,
1t would be better for Pendletpn
and Umatilla county to have the res
ervation cut up into farms and settled
upon by white men. But will it be
better for the Indian? What will be-
come of the Indian? Few of them are
fit for self-dcpeudent citizenship.
As long as the older Indians can
prevent it, citizenship will never come.

LITTLE FUNSTON.

Little General Funston has had the
most magnificent opportunity to dis
prove the accusation of rattle-headed-
ness that ever man had. 1t is hard
to conceive of greater battle more
trying than the sore and terrible duty
that befell Funston at Frisco.
How well he has performed it may
not be known for some days. But
believe that the story will be a fade
less laurel for the little fighter, whose
country jake" looking regiment was
laughed at when it arrived at Frisco
on the first Philippine expedition.
AS boldly as Funston led that goth
Kansas regiment to fame he has held
down the hell lid in the redhot ruins
at the Golden Gate, we ,may be sure.
Funston has no fear. But his de-
tractors said that was all he amount
ed to-just fearlessness and bull luck.
1t has taken more than mere bravery
to cope with the disorganization and
decentralization of 100000 people. 1t
has required qualities of the noblest
sort and keenness and calmness to a
miraculous degree.
Has General Funston failed in this
overwhelming emergency? 1 don't
believe he has. he was as prompt
to the rescue as he was in the charge
on the enemy-that we know

THE INDIANS FEAR.

Deep down beneath the superficial
frictlons seen and heard upon the
Umatilla reservation, and underlying
the surface troubles which come and
go among the Umatilla Ipdlans, is
ever nursed in the hearts of the older
Indians.
This is the fear of ultimate citizen
ship.
The older Indians live IN horror Of
the time when they are to be released
from the governments protecting in
fluence. They know that large pro-
portion Of the tribe would soon part
with its land, and would be homeless,

DEFEND THE PEOPLES LAW.

The attempt of the liquor dealers
to destroy the meaning and efficacy
of the local option law by an amend
ment which changes almost every
provision of that law, will not sue
ceed.
In the first place the amendment
proposed by the liquor dealers does
not fairly state in its title what the act
actually is. 1t is said to be an inno-
cent amendment of some Of. the pro-
visions of that law, while in fact. if
the amendment carries it will under
mine the very foundation of the local
option principle and give the saloon
and liquor interests more power than
at present.
The people passed the FOCAL option
law. 1t is what the mass of the peo-
pie want. Every community has i
right to vote local option if the public
sentiment in that community demands
and justifies it. Therefore they gave
each community this power through
the local option law, ana it should
remain intact.
A vote for the amendment proposed
by the liquor interests means a vote
to destroy he local option law. The
arpen6ment ig MT oDIv an amendment
it amends by wiping out almost th'
entire substance Of the peoples law
1t is an amendment by total destruc
ton.

HOW ABOUT WATER MAINS?

II any repairs are needed by Main
and Court street water mains, now is
the time to make the repairs, before
the paving is placed on those streets,
for work on the paving will soon be-
gin. There is no doubt about this.
The water mains have been in place
for number of years. and it might
save expense to investigate them now,
and ascertain if there is need of any
repairs or improvements.
Pendleton is not always going to be
a city of 5000. The country around
gives promise of something better
than that. So the foundations should
be laid permanently. Water system
sewer system and gas and electric and
telephone systems should be built
upon a plan that is both solid and ex-
pansive. 1t costs money to rebuild
large improvements.
Too many cities make the mistake
of being short-sighted. They do not
reckon with the future. Think what
magnificent parks Pendleton could
now be enjoying had the city council,
90 years ago, selected grounds for this
purpose!
This is the time to improve the
water system if it needs it, so paving
will not have to be removed in a year
or so for that purpose.

VIII Oregon never be free from her
incubus of partisan politics and cor
ruption funds?
Just as the state is emerging from
multiplied disgrace through political
dishonesty and corruption, with a
chance of breathing the free, clear
air Of public decency once more, here
comes the announcement that Jona-
than Bourne is elected republican
choice for United States senator,
which envelopes the state in a stink
ing fog worse than any that has gone
before.
The little fellows running republi-
can newspapers throughout Oregon,
who took Bourne's coin in exchange
for their souls, are responsible. 1t
will be a sublime" spectacle in the
United States senate. Think of it!
How can Senator Fulton, who is
really a decent, clean, active, public
spirited official, work hand in hand
with Bourne? The memory of
Bourne's Salem record would dull the
keen edge of Fulton's activity.
Think of Oregon taking Jonathan
bourne in preference to Judge Low
ell, II. NJ. Cake, E. l.. Smith, or E
B. Watson, 1t required $4,000 tc
elect Bourne, it is siad, but he will gel
it back. If he does not expect to gel
it back with INTEREST, why should
he spend this sum?

NO CELEBRATION Chamber of Commerce .Ac- cedes to Request of Doug
 las to Refrain.
DOUGLAS WANTS TO
 HAVE BIG FOURTH,
Shelter City Send Representa- lives 10 Invite Bisbee to Visit Her and Help Make Gala Day of Fourth.

Representative of the Chamber of Commerce from Douglas paid Bisbee visit last evening and appeared be- fore the local Chamber of Commerce to press their claims to the right to hold a Fourth of July celebration, un- hampered by competition on the part of Bisoee.
 The committee who appeared in behalf of Douglas conr.s,ed of D. A. Richardson, Chairman of Douglas Chamber of Commerce, and George Hardiker and Frank Alley of that bedy's finance committee.
 Frank Alley acted as spokesman for the Douglas aggregation and in a well put speech argued for the right of Douglas to hold big celebration on the coming Fourth of July at which Bisbee citizens will be the guests of honor. An urgent invitation to all Bisbee was extended by Alley in be- half of his townspeople and ample accomodations and enjoyment were promised all who might care to at tend, and Alley hoped that all Bis
  mittee will act for Douglas on that day and try to outdo themselves in an attempt to entertain Bisbee roy ally.
 At the close of Aley's speech, Rev. Harvey M. Shields reminded the To- cal body that in 1905 it was agreed to by Douglas that if Bisbee would re- a smelter city would keep out of the celebration field and lee Bisbee have it all to herself. This was done and now Douglas wants Bisbee merely to adhere to her promise.
 As a result, the local body last evening passed resolutions pledging its support to Douglas insofar as it is able. The matter will be urged among local business men and it is conceded that Douglas will not only have day to herself but will have an opportunity of entertaining tho fun-loving population of Bisbee. The resolutions passed by the Chamber of Commerce follow: .-...--.....- "a
 Whereas. in the year 1905, it was osi uhuciSeoou AsiSt AEial II hiic SifS oA Douglas would refrafi. yrom giving a 4th of July celebration, in the year 1906 Bisbee would rec:procate by not attempting to hold celebration on the occasion of the 4th.
 Now therefore, for the purpose of carrying out the agreement mentioned above and for the further purpose of cementing more firmly the friendly relations now existing between the two cities.
 Be 1t resolved: That the Chamber of Commerce recommend that Bis bee give no Fourth of July celebra- ton this year.

Word received in Bisbee yesterday is to the effect that at Cahanea all newspapers from the outside world containing details of the trouble there, are being confiscated and that it Is the intention of the officials of that place co prevent any real ac- counts of what is taking place to fall into the hands of Cananea citi- zens.
 The Review. being one of the news papers that has a subscription list in the Mexican town. has been forced to send Its bundle of papers to subscrib- CTS there through the mail. Whether this will have the desired effect it is hard to determine at this time.
 Uncle Sam and Mexico entered into an agreement at what is commonly called the postal convention. held at Washington. April 4, 1887, at which time representatives of the United States and Mexico met and entered into n postal agreement whereby the mails of the respective countries were to be carried and delivered at their destination.
 The following is taken from the agreement:
 Article l, Sec. B. Except as re- quired by the regulations of the country of destination for the collec- tion of its custom duties, all admissa- ble matter mailed in one country for the other or received in one country from the other. whether by land or sea or conveyance. shall be free from any detention or inspection whatever. and shall in the first case be forward ed by the most speedy means to It's destination, and in the latter be promptly delivered to the respective persons ro whom it is addressed. be- ing subject in its transmission to the laws and regulations of each coun- try respectively"
