sHoRTBREAO IN NEW STYLE.
Delicious Confection According to a
 Scotch Recipe.

Put a scant two pounds of butter in basin, warm by setting the sauce pan in hot water, then beat to cream with a wooden spoon. Add slowly 20 ounces sifted, crushed loaf sugar, stirring well to obtain a white appear ance. Add a little lemon peel cut fine, spoonful or two of milk. and stir in flour to make a short paste, taking care not to have it too stiff. Divide into pieces (this quantity will make about 16) and work out each piece with the hand into flat round cakes about a quarter of an inch in thickness and as nearly as possible the same size. Pinch the edges all around with the finger and thumb; cut a small round out of the center, sprinkle a few caraway comfits on top and bake on fiat tins, covered with paper, from three-quarters of an hour to an hour They should be a pale golden color when done. The pieces will need to be parted again with a knife, as they join in the baking
 Some cooks dredge them with sugar before baking and in about 20 minutes dredge again, then finish the baking.

A Salad.

A delicious salad consists of ripe olives chopped, mixed with cream cheese, formed into balls and served, dressed with mayonnaise, in nests of lettuce. The balls may be made of cream cheese and minced green olives, cream cheese aud minced nuts or the cream cheese alone with whole nut meat pressed into the side The balls should be the size of hickory nut These cheese balls are often served with another salad, either in one side of the individual plate,or are passed on a small serving dish.

Headache Sufferers

Do you want relief in just a few moments and no bad after-effects.
 If so, you have only to take, Dr. Niles Anti-Pain Pills.
 If subject to headache, have them with you al ways. No harm can come from their use, if taken as directed, as they contain no opium, chloral, mor- phine, cocaine, chloro- form, heroin, alpha and beta eucaine, cannabis in dica or chloral hydrate, or their derivatives.
 Ask your druggist about them.
 'Tt gives me great pleasure to be able to refer to the Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills as the best remedy we have ever had in our house for the preven- tion and cure of headache. My wife who has been a constant sufferer for years with the above complaint, joins me in recommending Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills, hoping they may fall into the hands of all who suffer"

OPPOSE CHANGE
IN CLEANING
Pres, MCGreW Of Merchants
Association Tells Why

In the interests of economy and con-
venience NJ. c. McGrew, president of
the General Merchants association,
thinks the present system of cleaning
up garbage and rubbish in the district
should be left alone. -. -:
I'VE tried the other way about two
years ago." he said this morning. "and
it was failure. Much Of the garbage
is of such a nature that we don't
want to haul it away in our own
wagons. We had a man hired and
sometimes he came when there was
nothing and again he would not come
and the neighbors would complain. 1t
means calling up man every time you
want something hauled away witch
causes both trouble and unnecessary
expense. The only way to keep things
clean is to have a man who goes along
regularly every day whether there is
anything or not, the way it is done
now.
I'VE would have to club together and
hire teams and in the end it would not
be done nearly as we'll as it is now.
We merchants are the heaviest tax
payers and do not see why we should
not have the public scavengers con-
tinued. l think nearly every merchant
in the city believes the same way as
nearly all Of them have signed the re-
monstrance we will make to the pro-
posed new ordinance"

to hold for IS cents and in less than a
week potatoes had reached that figure.
Again. while l was in Austin. Tex
as, year ago a meeting of cotton
growers was called and the union de-
cided to hold out for better prices. In
a short time cotton had scared to the
highest notch since the days of Sui
ly's flyer.
The greatest product of the coun-
try is wheat and to fix the price of this
cereal is now the great object of the
union. That is why organizers have
been sent out here and why / am here
today. Without united effort the at
tempt would not probably be successful

the first step ever taken by the grain
growers to say for themselves what

by the end of the present harvest
we expect to be in position to enforce
our demands for fair prices and unless

is the intention to have every wheat
raiser in the country hold his crop un-

violation of Section s. Article II of the
constitution
After stating the constitutional
provision above referred to the court
said: This provision is mandatory. 1t
is plain and unambiguOus. 1t requires
all county officers to be elected. Sec
tion of the horticultural act above
referred to clearly attempts to create
the Office of county fruit inspector and
fixes the term of office at two years
and the salary of the officer at 81 per
day and also provides for the appoint
ment of the officer by the board of
county commissioners, not temporarily.
but continually. 1t is apparent that
the legislature did not intend to make
the office elective at all. The proTi-
sions Of the act relating to county fruit
inspector was, therefore, opposed to
the provision of the constitution cited
and is void.

That Pendelton is frightened. half to
death by the rapid strides made by
Walla Walla commercially is evidenc-
ed by the following editorial in the
East Oregonian. which, inadvertently
pays a high compliment to the Car
den city. 1t says:
Every citizen of Umatilla county
who is loyal to the county will agree
with the East Oregonian when it says
that Pendleton. and not Walla Walla
must be the center of any electric

But unless Pendleton capital is on

THE invasion of Umatilla county
by the electric line from Walla Walla
is even now taking business away
