Dogs and Dog Tax.

1t is said that the dog is the most
faithful friend that man has among all
the members of the animal kingdom,
and we believe this is true. A good
! dog that is well trained and kept al
home, is certainly a valuable asset
to his owner, but the countless mon
grel ours that have neither training
nor breeding, which are roaming the
streets of Welsh, are not of this class,
and are only an aggrivation and nui-
sance and certainly ought to be dis.
posed OF, If you have dog that is
worth keeping, it is worth paving the
tax upon, and if the tax is not paid,
it becomes the duty of our marshall TO
see to 1t that such dogs cease to cum
Der the earth with their presence.
There are number Of dogs in this
town which are utterly worthless and
even worse, as they prowl about kill.
ing chickens, stealing whatever NAV
come within their reach, and running
over and destroying flowers and shrub
berry, as we'll as making the night
h'deous with their nocturnal sere-
nadeS. We hope our city officers will
speedily rid the town of this class of
worthless ours and we are confident
the citizens will heartily applaud such
action.

Rice Bran at Jones Bros.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-02-08

Washington, Feb. S.-Frasier, of
Tennessee, in the senate today used
the San Francisco school case to en-
phasize opposition to encroachment
by the federal government upon the
states.
He declared the japanese had no
ground upon which tc stand in their
demands. 81 believe said Frascier,
"thc president should have so con-
strued the treaty and notified Jap
anese government accordingly.
IF Japan should make war upon
so flimsy a cause it will shock the
civilized world. However, if war
comes, l think it will be from diff
ferent cause, as result of the blum
der the nation made when it forgot
its own Monroe doctrine and took the
Philippine islands"
He characterized the president as
a man who, by force of arms, tried
to compel American parents to ad-
NIT grown Mongolians into intimate
relations with their children, and
who, with the pomp and ceremony of
a hattie fleet trailing in his wake,
the German kaiser, recent
ly visited his outlying provinces of
Panama and Porto Rico

ATHENA is BADLY ISOLATED,
Little Hope OF Early Permanent Re
pairs to the Railroad.

Athena, Feb. 10.-The people OF
Athena are beginning to think that
they will not receive any mails for al
least week or more, nor have they
any trains through this place. An
engine and caboose came I'D from
Pendleton yesterday, but were stopped
short distance below town, where
the water had washed out the track
badly, there being no earth under the
rails for considerable distance.
Considering the amount of snow
that still lies on the ground about
here, and the constant flow from its
melting along the track, there is little
hope of much being repaired until the
snow is about gone. Railroad men say
that as soon as they get 1t repaired in
some places 1t breaks out in others.
According to last reports the branch
line from Pendleton to Walla walla
Will be out of commission for several
more days at least.
Revival services are still going on
at this place and are being well at
tended. They are being conducted at
the Christian church by Evangelist
Ellington.
There is very little snow left on the
mountain tops in this vicinity. Most
of 1t seems to be in the low places,
and this is what is causing the mis-
chief to the railroads in these parts.

lieve 1t and insisted that Thaw took
no morphine. White said Thaw was
very bad man, and should have
nothing to do with him. After that
he came to see me constantly. White
made arrangements with me to see
Abraham Hummel to protect me from
Thaw.
white said Hummel was the slick
est lawyer in New York, but that I
must not be frightened at him be-
cause he was a damn fool with a
large head and warts all over his face.
I went to Hummers office. White
took me. We met Hummel and
talked about Harry Thaw. I told him
of our trip abroad and difficulties Of
my mother with Thaw He asked
me where we had been while in Eu-
rope with Thaw.
"Hummel said I was a minor and
that fact made it very bad for Thaw
Hummel told me many things about
Thaw. He said Thaw was a very bad
man. That he had a case pending
against Thaw, but as the woman in
the case was no good. probably the
case was no good. He showed me the
woman's signature, and said Thaw
must be kept out of New York even
If he had to resort to strong methods.
HE called another man into the
room and dictated to him. I was very
nervous, and Hummel told me not to
interrupt him. He started off dictat-
ing by saying I had been carried off
to Europe by Thaw against my will.
tried to stop him. but he shook his
head.
HE went on and said I had been
kept away from my mother and ill
treated, which was not true. Hum
mel asked me if I had any letter
from Thaw. 1 told him I had, and
1 took them to him. Hummel said
he would hold the letters over Thaw's
head, and put the letters in his pri-
vate safe.
II saw Hummel again, and he
asked me why I did not sue Thaw for
breach of promise. I told him this
was absurd, and Hummel said there
is lots of money in it and the adver-
tising would be good for me. I told

He has Just returned from a trip

2-year-old steers from the Hanley

He would have purchased several

Commission Rill

House Committee of the Whole Rec.
commended Passage of Railroad
Commission Bill.
That Idaho is determined to have
railroad commission at the recent
session of the legislature is shown by
the following from Yesterdays Boise
Statesman, giving a result of a COM
n'ittee vote upon the subject:
Two important bills were recon-
mended to pass by the house COM
mittee of the whole yesterday, the
railroad commission bill and the
eight-hour bill for miners and under
ground workers and for smeltermen.
But it is not anticipated that the
end is yet. The commission has to
run the gauntlet in the open session.
There are ambuscades that would
make your hair stand on end, laid up
FOR 1t down at the ford just before 1t
crosses over and becomes law. If
there Is any kind of a weapon that
Will not be turned loose in the fight.
1t is something that has not yet come
TO the notice of the vigilant leaders
of the two sides. Any kind of an
argument or weapon that has not yet
been tested can get q try-out when
the bill comes up for final passage.
The eight-hour labor bill passed the
of the whole without a
vote.
