taken Sunday by both the Sunday
school and, Epworth League of the
Methodist church, South, Sunday.
The churches of Medford have
united and are holding rousing meet

soon be among the "dry" places of
Oregon, which are growing in number
right along.

With a walkover that was pleasing
TO the local high school boys and their
fair supporters, the Walla walls foot
ball team was defeated by score
of is to 0 yesterday afternoon. Since
/ then there has been JOY in the ranks
[ OF the Pendleton student body for the
/ Walla Wallans have always been
strong opponents in the past.
Though played upon a field that
lacked the usual mud of the football
season, the game yesterday was a
good one and it was played under the
new rules which makes the game a
much more open one.
The first touchdown of the game
was made within five minutes after
the kickoff and the ball was carried
over the line by Divine. a little later
Reeves made pretty place kick from
the SO-yard line. A safety was also
earned by the Pendleton team during
the first half thus making the score
IL to at the close of the half.
During the second half the game
was all in Pendleton's favor and the
local goal was never in danger. But
one more score was made, that being
a touchdown by Baker. A goal was
kicked following each touchdown,
Reeves and Divin doing the kicking.
Throughout the entire game the
Pendleton back field ploughed
through the opposing team almost at
will, owing largely to the fact that
the local line was superior to that Of
the visitors. McDnl and Euster, both
new men on the team, and line play
ers, did especially good work in
breaking through their men. Baker,
though injured from the Weston
game, played a strong game, as did
also Reeves and Means, the halves,
while young Hawley Beam at center
was equal to the occasion.

COMPANY LIS TEAM LEADS.
Local Marksmen Have Surpassed All
Other Companies Heard From.

Since company LIS rifle team shot
here Monday the members of the
team have been anxiously watching
the returns from the other guard
companies of the state and the re-
suits thus far have all been flatter-
ing to the local boys.
BY over 100 points the Pendleton
team defeated The Dalles guardsmen
and the report from Baker City shows
the team there to be even further be-
hind, thus leaving company LIS team
the champions of eastern Oregon.
In southern oregon nearly all of
the fourth regiment companies have
now shot and none of the records thus
far received have equalled those made
here. Returns are now in from
Roseburg, Eugene, Ashland, Cottage
Grove and Albany. What the west
ern oregon companies of the third
regiment have done is not yet known
and the scores are being eagerly
awaited. Six companies of the regi-
ment are stationed in Portland, while
the remainder are at Oregon City,
Woodburn and Salem.

INJURED MAN RECOVERING.
Good Chances for j. II. Mccoy, Who
Was Badly Hurt at q. II. & n. De-
pot Yesterday.

J. r, C'Shanty'O Mccoy, the we'll
known La Grande switchman OF the
o. r. & N, who was seriously injur-
ed at the o. r. & \. depot last even
ing by falling from the train and be-
ing struck by the steps OF the coaches
as they passed over him, is resting
easily at ST., Anthony's hospital this
afternoon and unless complications
set in, 1t is the opinion of DIR, w. G..
Cole, who is attending him. that he
will recover.
He is badly cut and bruised about
the head and back but 1t is not
thought any of his injuries are dam
gerous although he escaped from in
stant death by narrow margin.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James
Mccoy of La Grande, came over to-
day to be at his bedside and will re-
main until he RECEIVERS sufficiently to
take him home. His father has been
o. r. & n. freight agent at La Grande
for more than 90 years and young
Mccoy was call boy for the o. r. &
n. at La Grande before becoming a
switchman. His brother was injured
at Umatilla eight months ago by fall
ing under a car while switching in
the o. r. & n. yards there.

In Business In Kansas City.

Mrs. George A. Robbins has just
lishment of the Egyptian Concrete
Burial vault factory in which her
brother. C. K. Haw, is interested in
Kansas city. The industry is entire
ly new in this country and promises
to be strong rival for the coffin
trust. The company manufactures
burial vaults from concrete and the
new method is taking the place of the
wooden coffin in the large cities Of
the east. The vaults can be made
air tight and the body can be pre-
served indefinitely in them.

NO MONEY FOR STATION

At the meeting held yesterday
afternoon between the executive COM
mittee of the Agricultural college re-
gents and the Commercial association
managers, it was disclosed that the
regents have no power to use federal
funds for the operation of branch ex-
perimental stations. Consequently 1t
will be impossible to secure a station
for the Hermiston district unless the
state will vote money for its mainte-
nance as it has done for the one at
Union.

New Cider Is Plentiful.

More cider has been made in Una

years before, on account of the ex-
cellent apple crop this season. John
Nissen & Son have sold eight cider
presses this season, so far, more than
have been sold in the city for a num-
Der of years past. The quality of this

other variety. But the millers and wheat growers all over Kansas be- gan to poke fun at farmer Wilson for making experiments in 1897 with turkey red wheat, as for ten years previously Kansas farmers had grown that variety almost exclusively. This shows how behind the times the agri- cultural department is in many things and how much it needs reforming. Its statistics are rotten and have been the sport of grafters; many of the so- called scientists are far behind the times as the turkey read wheat epi- sode indicates. The scientists of the weather bureau, which is part of the agricultural department, are still working on he erroneous plan and theory of the winds and weather ad- opted 36 years ago and the weather forecasts are spoken of as not as re- liable as Hicks predictions, publish ed month ahead.

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGEs.

Pain is natures signal of distress. . warning that must not be ignored Those sharp twinges in the back, those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn, are simply signs of hidden danger in the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily. gains ground more rapidly, nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the kidneys. All the outward ap- pearances of health may remain until a terrible disease had taken root. It is best to learn the duties of the kidneys, to watch for early signs of trouble. and to correct any irregular fly before its serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys In an incessant stream. to be cleared of poi son and relieved of surplus water. This is passed on by the kidneys in the urine. It is the retention of poll son in kidney trouble that breeds fatal disease.
 Don't walt. The moment you feel any uneasiness. lameness or pain in the back, the moment the urine shows irregularity, either In its ap- pearance. or in the quantity, or num- Der of the passages. begin with Deans Kidney Pills. This remedy has been curing kidney troubles for seventy six years. and never yet has failed

Secretary Straus, on the trip of in- vestigation which he has just begun, proposes to inquire carefully into the question of smuggling Japanese across the Mexican border, and, if possible, devise some plan for the enforcement of the law against the incoming of Japanese laborers. He has decided upon scheme of patrolling the Mexi- can border with mounted inspectors with a view to preventing the snug gling which notoriously has been going on for months. It is difficult matter, however, to guard a border nearly two thousand miles in extent, even with mounted guards. Investigation has shown that the Japanest govern ment is not responsible for the coming of the large number of Japanese la borers, as no passports. are issued to that class of Japanese to America. Still, the influx of Japanese continues and how to prevent it becomes daily more serious.

The news from San Francisco that
 the telegrapher's strike there is as. suming serious proportions, is not cheering. Just when reports showed that the companies and the operators were getting together in all other parts of the country, the break there seems most inopportune. Yet there is a reason for it. Living expenses in San Francisco have increased out of all proportion to the reason for their advance To be sure the city has suf- fered almost complete demolition by earthquake and fire, and some ad- vance in living expenses was to be ex- pected. The town has had one of the most corrupt municipal governments in the world. The telegraph operators have not been the only ones to feel the pinch by any means, but they have been in a position to strike through the preparations made by themselves and their colleagues all over the country. They have had good reasons for strik- ing and they have their friends in the other labor unions to thank for the situation. It would be a good thing for San Francisco if an impartial con- mission could get to work there and scale down some of the prices of labor and material at the same time.
