to our musical set, charmed all who
heard her sing Her voice is a pure
contralto and shows great culture.
The members of the club were special

BY vote Of thi &c 10 four the city

WILL BE NO PENDLEToN TEAM
Game Tomorrow Between WalIa
Walla and Picked-Up Nine.

There will be no "Pendleton" ball
team at Walla Walla tomorrow, nor
ON any subsequent Sunday, unless the
people of this city desire to organize
team themselves. The protest raised
yesterday against the efforts of the
Walla Walla managers to form a team
for this city has been heard and the
attempt has been given up.
Last evening Robert Burns, o. r.
& n. agent at Walla Walla, was in the
city and after learning the sentiment
here announced the scheme was off.
This statement he made to Carl Coo
ley saying he had no wish to attempt
to form a team from Pendleton unless
his action met with the approval of
the local people. He was assured such
approval was lacking.
While some kind of team will play
at Walla Walla tomorrow, it will not
be known as from Pendleton. This
Mr.. Burns promised would be made
clear by having the umpire announce
just before the game that the team
was a picked" nine.
The good judgment displayed by the
Walla Walla people in giving up their
plan for a Pendleton team is COM
mended by local fans. They doubt
less undertook the task under a mis-
apprehension as to conditions in PEN
dleton, and upon learning their error
gracefully withdrew.

WATER WHEEL SOLD.
S. NJ. Haworth Buys Mathews Ir1iga-
ton Wheel, Which Has Been ON
Exhibition.

exhibition.
]. S. Mathews, inventor of the
Mathews irrigation wheel, which has
been on exhibition in the Walters mill
race at the Main street bridge for
several days, has just sold this model
wheel to S, NJ. Haworth, who will
place it in the Umatilla river near
this city for the purpose of irrigating
tract of garden and alfalfa land.
This wheel is but two feet in di-
ameter and five feet in length and
was imperfectly constructed of wood,
yet 1t pumps enough water to irri-
gate five acres. 1t runs steadily and
throws a continual stream of water
showing plainly the possibilities of
the wheel when properly constructe.
OF metal,
The Mathews water wheel is a sim
pie and inexpensive method of irrigat-
ing where water can be lifted from a
large stream. The wheel is anchored
In the stream by means of guy ropes
where IL floats in the current gener-
ating enormous power for its size.
1t adapts itself to either high OIL
low water and is an unfailing power
for 1t is revolved by the current and
the amount Of power generated de.
pends upon the size of the wheel and
the speed of the current.
The wheel which has been sold tc
Mr.. Haworth although but a small
one and not properly constructed, wa.
capable of throwing water to the
floor of the Main street bridge, In q
current which travels but four mile:
an hour. With a metal wheel of the
same size a large stream of water
could be lifted for 20 to 80 feet IL
the same current, thus furnishing al
immense quantity of water at yer,
reasonable cost for irrigating pur
poses.
Orders have been received for :
number of wheels and as soon as tn
company can find location for ma
chine shops and factory it will begii
the manufacture Of the wheels. I
promises to revolutionize irrigation
along large streams where 1t is no
possible to build dams. 1t is said tina
thousands of acres along the Colum
bia, Des Chutes, John Day and Snak
rivers can be reclaimed by these sim
pie wheels. The wheel is patented an
all rights are protected.

Frank X. Welles, county school su-
perintendent, has just mailed the fol-
lowing letter to all of the school Off
cials in the county:
Pendleton, Ore, May 3, 1906.
To District School Boards.
Gentlemen: AS the school year Is
drawing to a close, you may be in
terested in haering something of the
school work throughout the county.
The financial condition of the
schools is very satisfactory. Since Oc-
tober l, 1905. 1 have apportioned to
every district $9.40 for each child
enumerated, besides $50 from the
county school fund, and IS for en-
ploying a teacher who attended the
annual institute. Nearly two-thir ds
of the districts levied a special dis
trict tax last year. and are receiving
addition revenue from this source.
Most boards of director have
learned that cheap teachers do not
pay, that in order to get skilled in
structors and secure the best service,
1t is necessary to pay as high salaries
as the same talent and skill could Sc
cure in other lines of business. Most
Of the schools employing one teacher
are now paying $50 per month. A
few of the small districts are still CIV
ing less than this; but on the other
hand, quite a number of the one-room
schools are paying $50, and some as
high as $50 per month.
About this time last year wrote
NJ 80
teachers early. In nearly all of the
larger districts this was done, but In
few cases no effort was made to Sc
cure teacher until about time fol
school to begin. Then the best teach
ers were all taken, and a great deal Of
difficulty was experienced in procur-
ing suitable teachers. In many in
stances 1 have been able to help botf
directors and teachers in filling tn,
schools of the county. This has added
greatly to the increasing work and re
sponsibility of this office, without in
creasing its remuneration, but the re-
suits have been good, and the meth
cd will be continued.
AS a rule the teacher whom yol
employed last year. should have you
preference again, provided the schoo
has been reasonably satisfactory t
you, and our own teachers SHOULD
generally be preferred to teacher
from a distance. Securing suitabl,
teachers for the schools seems to m,
to be the most important duty of di
rectors. and where any ADVICE or as
sistance Is needed, 1t will be gladl.
given. Very truly yours,
| FRANK X. WELLES,
Superintendent Umatilla County

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have i'll
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close confine-
ment to home, Office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, In fact In every weary,
thin and thin bloOded person, do their
work with great difficulty. As result
fatigue comes early, Is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead OF the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to II certain
others. II Is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work Of taking up from
the food what Is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go TO Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known TO the Indians OF this
country before the advent OF the whites
which later came to the knowledge OF
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly In professional favor for The cure
Of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain In their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are; Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there Is Black Cherry bark.
The medicinal principles residing In these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined In Just the
right proportions, as in DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
Is bankrupt vitality such ss nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware Of the high medicinal value OF the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients In varying amounts,
tptth alcohol.
The -Golden Medical Discovery" Is .
scientific preparation compounded OF the
glyceric extracts OF the above mentioned
vegetable ingredients and contains NO
alcohol or harmful habitforming drugs.
