the common laborers. Enough skill

purposes now, but the common la

"The men change about a good

We have tried to get foreigners from
Portland and Seattle, but the rail-

them away from us. There have
been a good many gangs sent cut for
our camps from the coast cities that
never reached US.

water in the Tieton before 1908. We

seems highly improbable that we will

Pendleton, 5; Walla Walla, 1.
In the first game of the season to
be played upon home grounds, the
Pendleton ball team yesterday pleas
ed the crowd by winning vistory and
demonstrated that this year the town
has a team well worthy of support
Also the score made more than Off
sets the game won by Walla Walla n
week ago, and bears out the conten-
ton Of the local fans who saw that
game, that vistory really belonged to
Pendleton at that time.
In the first inning yesterday Pen
dleton scored a run when Graves, the
first man up, came home after having
taken first on balls, stole second and
was then enabled to run home by a
wild throw on the part of the Walla
Walla short stop. As he came in the
crowd let loose a wild yell for the
game was starting well.
But after the first inning there was
series of goose eggs for both sides
until the sixth, when Walla Walla
made it's solitary score, Herman get
ting home after having gotten to first
through a high throw to first by
| Shockley.
When Pendleton came to bat for the
last half of the sixth the game COM
menced and in rapid succession foul
more runs were added to the one
made in the first. Graves, Collins
Shockley and King crossed the plate
in almost zone, two, three" order
while the bleachers went wild.
After the shake-up in the sixth botf
teams settled down to solid playing
again and no more runs were made
during the game. The first half o.
the ninth closed to / in favor o
Pendleton and the home team did no
go to bat.
The game yesterday was witnessed
by over 1000 people, of which abou
400 were from Walla Walla and wa!
points. The weather was ideal for bal
playing, excepting that it was slight,
cold in the grandstand, and taken alto
gether it would have been hard t
have started the ball season unde
more auspicious circumstances.

OSTEOPATHY AND OPIATES.
A Pointed Thought for Consideration

Do not deaden a crying nerve with
opiates, but remove the prod that
makes the outcry. Nerves are in
telligent, and they do not cry out
"wolf. wolff" unless there Is cause
for it. One way to restore confidence
and quiet in the sheep fold would be
by giving the lambs something to de-
stroy their fear at the approach of the
wolf, but 1t would not make for their
welfare. Nor does opium or other
drugs, which deaden the nervous sys-
tenn protect the body against the saw
ages of disease They simply paralyze
the nervous SYSTEMS action, the means
by which the body is warned of Its
enemy,-disease.
The osteopath seeks the prod that
causes the pain of neuralgia, the
twitching of st. Vitus dance, the leth-
Iargy of paralysis etc. He removes 1t
when possible and the sensible nerves
cease their cry. Pain is the prayer
of the body for relief, not the reques
J for nerve intoxication. We should le
our nerves think for us. If they tel
us there is trouble, go to an osteopatf
to have the obstruction removed. Tit
body needs not doping, but good en-
'gineering. a

D. c. Henny, consulting engineer of
the United States reclamation serv-
i've, returned this afternoon from a
trip of inspection covering a part Of
the Tieton project, and to a reporter
of the Yakima Republic he said:
Work on the Tieton he said was
progressing as rapidly as the lack
of men and material would allow,
there being no danger that operations
there would be held up as reported
not long ago.
Mr.. Henny set at rest the fear local
dealers had harbored that the gov
eminent trade would be taken away
from them and placed in the hands
Of the purchasing agency that had
been established in Chicago.
"The agency at Chicago has been
established more for the purpose OF
routing the different shipments OF
of supplies than for any other pur-
pose" said he. There are d great
many different ways in which the
government supplies may be shipped,
It being the duty of the Chicago Of
! flee to select the cheapest,
"The service will continue as IT
has done before to buy goods of deal
ers IN the west here. All of the food
supplies and many Of the smaller ma
terials will he bought just as they
have been before"
This assurance by Mr.. Henny thai
the government contemplates nj
change in its purchasing system viii
relieve the minds of western dealers
who have done large business will
the government. AS most Of the bit
materials such as steel, cement an
the like have been bought in tn
east or California, any change IL
their purchase will not affect thi
country.
Construction work, Mr.. Henny sait
was being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible on the project.
"Tte power canal is about CON
rleted," said the engineer. "Wate
will be turned into it soon. The CT

County Official Head
Badly Bruised.

Dickinson, N. D., Feb. 25.-Deputy
Sheriff John Budda met up with a
large bunch of bad luck at Richard
ton, when he came near losing his
life under an engine. Several trains
were in motion in the yards when
Mr.. Budda attempted to cross the
tracks. He turned to watch the ap-
proach of No. 3, which was just COM
ing into the town when he stumbled
and fell not ten feet in front of q
freight, which was getting under way
to leave the yards. His head struck
against one of the ties and there he
lay too frightened or stunned to at
tempt to move. The front part of
the engine missed him, but some pro-
jecting part struck his head making
a deep wound and fracturing several
bones in his face. States Attorney
Mcbride chanced to be in Richardton
and was preparing to return on No.
8. Budda's wounds were dressed and
at Mr.. McBride's request the passen-
ger train waited to bring the unfor-
tunate man to this city.

looked refreshed after her three days

asked her if she had not had trouble
with her mother in Allegheny, Pa,
before going to Philadelphia to live,
If she had not run away with a girl
Mrs. Thaw replied in the negative.
Mr.. Jerome's next question was:
"How long after the drugging in the

count was opened for you in the
Amsterdam bank by Stanford White?'
II can't tell how long, it might have
been month"
