Could the Mayor
 Carry the Hod :?

We'll I guess he cOuld-so could some of the would-be mayors. In fact there are very few politicians that are not able to carry the hOd. But they, on account of their hard work each day, very seldom feel disposed to tackle carrying the bod, Well 1T they or anyone else wishes one Of those coal "hOds' which we are glV- ing with our warranted good baking powder at 45 cents per pound we will carry it home fro them. Re- member the ones we are giving away are the well made, galvanized quality and will last for a long. long tllne' We do not expect 10 be able to give these hOds with our baking powder only a short time. Therefore II
 you need one now is the time. The writer of this ad is willing to bet million dollars that there is Wat erbury cop able to carry one of our coal hOds home without taking rest. Of course we make exception to Ot1l- Ger Cavanaugh. for glory be to good ness did you see him dive into the Manhan canal and save that little tot that was going to a Watery grave, We'll they tell us that while he was in the water he kept a sharp lookout to see what kind of fish were there, so we can look for a big catch from him soon, providing his investigation was favorable. We hope when John got dry clothes on he partook or one or two cups ot good hot coffee and to prevent catching cold the quality we sell is the best.

Editor McManus Freed.

Pendleton, Ore. May AFTER re-
naming out all night the jury in the
case of John p. McManus, editor of
the Pilot Rock Record, whose trial for
murder of Robert Estes was concluded
Tuesday night, returned a verdict of
not guilty.
Mrs. McManus, who was sitting, an
xiously waiting by the side of her hus-
band when the verdict was announced,
threw her arms around his neck and
for several minutes the two were wrap
ped in Loose embrace while tears
stresmed down the cheeks of attorneys,
and the spectators present arose in e6-
citement to their feet. AS soon as Nc
Manus recovered his composure the
Judge wrapped for order and annouLc-
ed that the defendant was discharged.
McManus declared he would never
take another drink of liquor. He left
with his wife for his home at Pilot
Rock.

bed, and mistaking Estes, gambler,
for the robber, shot him. McManus

he was justified in shooting because he
was being robbed. The jury which

ception made up of farmers and repre-
sended an aggregate wealth of $780,
900.

IMMINENT
BRIGHT OUTLOOK MAY l
IN LABOR CIRCLES.
THE EAST EVERY
THING is REPORTED
TO BE LOVELY.

The opening of the out-of-doOr con-
struction season finds New York, both
city and state, without a prospect of
serious labor troubles. In The building
trades especially prosperous and re-
assuring conditions prevail. There is a
large and well-met demand for both
skilled and unskilled labor, due to the
extensive private construction projects
now under way and the tunnels and
other undertakings of public or semi
public nature. This contentment is
generally reflected in the manufactur-
ing and industrial centers and beyond
a few localized and sporadic strikes,
the labor situation is regarded as
brighter than for many years.
