Washing China Silk.

A l%aundress who has success with
china silk waists says that they
should never have soap rubbed direct
ly upon them nor be put into hot
water. She. makes a suds with white
soap and tepid water, washes the
waist in it, rinses it very thoroughly
in several tepid and cold waters, Their
presses the water out as much as she
can with her hands without %wringing,
folds it carefully so that there are few
%creases, cover it with a white cloth
and passes it through the wringer.
When it is about half dry she irons
it with a cloth over it. This method
keeps the silk from turning yellow.

Good Couch Medicine for Children,

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children. A
child is much more likely to contract
d~iphtheria or scarlet fever when he
has a cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance OF
many mothers, and few of those who
have tried it are willing to use any
other. Mrs. F. f. Starcher, of Ripley,
w. Va, says, Il have never used any
thing other than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for my children and it has al
ways given good satisfaction" This
remedy contains no opium or other mar
cotic and may be given as confidently
to a child as to an adult. For sale by
all druggists.

and the approaching week will be
largely occupied by those necessary
evils. Many are going away for the
holidays and many visitors are also ex.
pected for Christmas week. The fall

Miss Anna Carpenter gave a delight
full Christmas luncheon Wednesday at
L o'clock, the guests progressing as
the numerous courses were served.
The place cards were pretty Christmas
souvenirs done in water colors, the
clever. sketches p%ortraying Santa Claus
and the bright and characteristic hol-
ly, while the accompanying verses
were appropriate to the season. The
mantel in the commodious dining room
was banked with chrysanthemums il
lavender and white, ferns being pref
tily combined with the flowers. Miss
Carpenter was assisted in receiving
and entertaining by her twin sister,
Mrs. Ulen. After the repast, the PARTY
repaired to the parlors where a unique
display Of pictures was enjoyed, each
guest having been requested to appeas
with the earliest available portrait Of
herself. In this collection of faded
photographs and battered tintypes it

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-09-09

A most radical change has lust
been made in the manner of handling
the fuel supply of the o. r. & n.
system. Heretofore the mechanical
department has handled the coal and
has employed contractors to transfer
1t from the cars to the coal bunkers.
Different prices have been paid at
different places and unlimited trouble
has been experienced with contractors
and employees in handling the fuel,
The officials now believe they have
satisfactorily settled this vexing aues-
tion for all time, by giving w. r.
Templeton, of Portland, the contract
for handling the fuel supply of the
entire o. r. & n. system, thus plac-
ing the responsibility of the fuel situ-
alton on one man, instead of being
forced to deal with a large number OF
individual contractors and laborers.
The fuel force is one of the largest
on the system and this subject requires
much attention. At Umatilla, The
Dalles, Albina, Pendleton. Bingham
Springs, Kamela. La Grande, Telo-
caset, Baker City, Pleasant Valley and
Huntington on the main line of the
system coal shoveling forces are
maintained and also at numerous
places to the Washington di-
vision and heretofore there has been
no regularity nor similarity of serv-
ice owing TO the fact that at each
place was sub-contractor or else day
laborers working at the coal handl-
ing.
Now the entire matter has been
turned over to Mr.. Templeton. who
will be responsible to the railroad
company at each of these places and
who will employ men in his own way.
whether by day labor or sub-contract.
This will relieve the mechanical
and operating departments of much
worry and annoyance and it is be-
lieved will simplify the coal handling
question over the entire system.

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 9.-The po-
lice of this city have been busy today
investigating the disturbances here
yesterday and Friday growing out of
the anti-oriental agitation. Several
arrests have been made and more will
follow.
The day is marked by comparative
quiet. though several minor disturb
ances have occurred.
The Japanese assumed the often
sive today, and two well known citi-
zens were injured. A. C. Henderson
was taken to the hospital and F. r.
Watt, editor of "The Calgarist," of
Calgary. was also set upon by Japan
ese and severely injured.
Baron Kiki Yro Ishii, chief of the
bureau of foreign affairs and head Of
the japanese consular service, who
was forced to flee from the mob the
first day of the rioting, addressed a
meeting yesterday and declared the
deplorable conditions must not affect
international relations, and advised
his countrymen to be patient.
