FARMERS Will
BUILD A Line
WALL0WA COUNTY CITIZENS
HAVE STARTED SUBSCRIP-
TIONs TO BUILD AND OPERATE
ELECTRIC LINE TO WALLA
WALLA, lis MILES.

WALLA WALLA, Nov. 2S.-To
secure. advantage of the market fa-
cilities of Walla Walla the business
men and farmers in the rich Wal
Iowa valley have started movement
to build an electric railway from
Enterprise, Ore, to connect with the
proposed electric line which is being
promoted by capitalists of this city
says the Union. Running through
some of the most fertile agricultural
and timber regions of eastern Ore
gon, this line will open to the busi-
ness men of Walla Wapa a trade
or unusual magnitude and stability.
At the present time the business in
terests in the vicinity of Enterprise
are greatly hompered by Inadequate
market facilities. Discouraged by
the repeated postponement of the
construction of the promised O., R.
& N. railroad, capitalists in that To-
cal1ty have decided to finance the
construction of the new road.
A special to the Oregonian from
Enterprise says:
There has been a movement
started here. to organize company
to build an electric railway from
Walla Walla. One route favored is
north about 25 miles, thence down
Courtney canyon to the Grand
Ronde river, and up the Little SAL
mon. The Walla Walla road will be
built up Mill creek to near the head
waters of the Little Salmon. The
road in. this county would run
through the largest and finest belt
of timber in eastern Oregon, tap a
big timothy land section and develop
the fertile Grouse and Eden coun-
tries. The Little Salmon will fur
nish ample power the year around to
operate the road The length of the
proposed route from Enterprise to
Walla VIOLA is 1f5 miles, only 25
miles longer thon the o., R. & N.
route from Enterprise to La Grande.

THANKSGIVING
At WASHINGTON
ALL PUBLIC BUSINESS SUSPEND
ED-sPECIAL SERVICES IN THE
CHURCHES-HISTORY OF Ma
TIONAL OBSERVANCE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. -
thanksgiving day was observed in
the customary manner in the ma
tional capital. AS usual, the presi-
dent and his. family are spending
the day in Virginia, but will return
late tonight. All governmental
business is suspended and the politi-
cal talkfest that presages the OMEN
ing of congress has for the day been
abandoned. Special services were
held in all the larger churches and
were attended by many dignitaries
of the government, cabinet and dip
lomatic corps
The first Thanksgiving service
held in the colonies was observed by
! the Pilgrims on December 13, 1921.
It was proclaimed by Governor Will
r liam Bradford, the first executive OF
the colony. He announced that
since they had just garnered abund-
ant harvests of grain and the cold
weather had sent plenty of game to
their forests, a day OF Thanksgiving
should be observed by the colonies.
Z 1t was not until the Revolution
that Thanksgiving day became gen.
seral throughout the thirteen states.
At that time day of national
thanksgiving was recommended by
congress, and the first Thanksgiving
proclamation ever issued by a presi-
dent was signed by George Wash
ington In 1882
The formal observation of Thanks
giving as it occurs today dates from
1864, when President Lincoln issued
a proclamation for setting apart the
last Thursday in November as day
.40f national thanksgiving Each sue
ceeding president has followed this
precedent and the day has become a
national holiday throughout the
United States, the governors of the
various states and territories issu-
ing procamations similar to those
OF the president. The custom has
been attacked by secularists as a vio-
lation of the constitutional provi-
sion for the separation of church
and state, as they attacked the Gus
tom OF imprinting the motto. "In God
We Trust on the coins of the coun-
try.

T. Merrick, manager of Schaeffer's
Main street meat market, was fined
$40 and costs this morning by Police

Bile by blocking the passageway.
This morning Policeman Langdon or
dered the wagon moved so that it
would not obstruct the street, but
Merrick refused to allow the officer
to move the wagon. He was arrested
and brought before Justice Erb on

WHO MURDERS WIFE AND SUI
CIDES.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-John
Whitley, leading dealer In stoves,
ranges and household goods In
Brooklyn and vice president of the
Reliance Ball-Bearing Door Hanger

pistol shots early today as she lay
sleeping.
Whitley then leaped from the
window of the ninth floor Of the Ho-
tel Bellclaire, instantly killing him
self.
Whitley is 60 and his wife 38. No
motive for the murder and suicide is
disclosed, but financial troubles are
surmised.

TURKEYS LEFT
FOR CHRISTMAS
DEALERS AND RAISERS HOPE BY
THAT TIME TO BREAK INTO
SPOKANE MARKET OVER THE
COMBINE.

Turkey raisers in the Lewiston
the Christmas demand opens a mar
ket for them, despite statements of
Spokane dealers that they have been
unable to secure shipments from To-
cal points in the Inland Empire. Fred
Arend OF the firm of Arend Bros,
Spokane dealers, stated yesterday
that his firm had been compelled to
ship turkeys from an Eastern mar
ket, paying 19 cents pound for the
birds, besides cents a pound ship
ping charges.
He scoffed at the idea of Lewiston
supplying turkeys for the Spokane
market, declaring the entire Inland
Empire would be unable to supply
the Thanksgiving demand in Spo-
kane.
]. Campbell of the Idaho Ice and
Cold Storage company stated yester-
day that he had been unable to sell
turkeys in Spokane even when offer
ed at 15 cents pound, live weight.
There are more turkeys in the
Lewiston country than ever before"
declares Mr.. Campbell, "but we have
been unable to dispose of them in
the Spokane market. Until recently
we have been shipping chickens to
Spokane dealers, but, for some rea-
son, they have refused our quota
tions of late.
we have been anxious to shin to
the Spokane market, but the dealers
there have ignored our quotations,
and have shipped in Eastern cold
storage birds, which have been palm
ed off on the consumer at high
prices.
Next year we will be in a posi-
tion to be independent of the Spo-
kane trust. for we will open a branch
house in Spokane, where we will
sell to the retail dealers at Just
prices concluded Mr.. Campbell
Had Lewiston wholesalers been
able to ship to Spokane at prices un-
der those paid in Eastern markets.
the Lewiston turkey growers would
nave cleaned up their pens. 1t is
foolish to state that the entire Lew
lston country can not feed Spokane
on Thanksgiving day. Carload ship
ments can be made daily and Spo-
Kane Hooded with turkeys so tflaJ
the dealers will cry enough.
It Is probable that the bottom will
fall out of the Spokane market be-
fore the Christmas holidays. in which
event Lewiston viii set the prices
for the Christmas fowls.

WILL RESUME
indian PAYMENT
CASH DUE TO INDIANS FOA rem.
TAI HELD UP BECAUSE OF
STRINGENCY WILL NOW BE
PAID BY AGENT LIPP.

Indian Agent o. H. Lipps at the
Fort Lapwai agency, will resume the
payment of rentals to the Indian
land owners within short time,
which will materially relieve the
financial embarrassment that has
prevailed among the Indians for the
past few weeks.
The Indian rents become due early
in the fall, and the payment was
commenced a short time before the
hnancial furry stopped the sale OF
the farmers wheat and placed a
check on the farmers securing funds
from the banks with which to meet
their obligations. The payments
will now be made in checks of small
denomination, which will enable the
Indians to secure their money ana
make their purchases of winter sup
plies.
Under a new rule of the Indian
department, at least $50 of the lano
owners of the Nezperce tribe will be
permitted to- negotiate the renting OF
their lands Independent of the In
dian agency. 1t is the policy of the
Indian department to encourage the
indians to handle their own busi-
ness, and the advanced condition of
the Nezperce tribe will enable a
large per cent of the Indian land
owners to handle their own propertv
in the future.

PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND

In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which
it is compounded as upon the ingredients used.
First, there must be q due proportion of the ingredients. Each drue
in the pharmacopeia has its special action. To combine any drug with
other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be
made with strict reference to the use for which the compound is intended.
The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound
ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined.
1t takes years and years of experience to 6Acover this proportion.
There is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by whsl the exact balance of
proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE is The ONLY GUIDE.
In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years
experience. In the use Of the various ingredients which compose the
catarrh remedy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonic
the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound,
how to arrange them into such nice proportions IS to blend the taste,
the operation and the chemical peculiarites of each several ingredient in
order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors,
pharmacists OF chemists.
WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN
WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE
DRUGS THEMSELVES.
The compound must present a stability whchis not affected by changes
of temperature, not affected by exposure to the all, not affected by age.
1t must be s. combined that 1T will remain just the same whether used in
the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of
the tropics.
A complete list Of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any
druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. II ii the skill and sagaciy by
which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much Of its
peculiar claims a IS an effcacous catarrh remedy.
However much virtue each Ingredient of Peruna may possess, the
value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion
in which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly,
is the only way a medical compound can be made Of real value.
