After trying in vain for months to
secure a better train service to Port
land, Pendleton people, in their eX-
tremity have been compelled to enlist the
aid of the Oregon railway commission.
The commission is in session at Pen
dleton today and the travelling public
will watch with keen interest. the de-
cision of that body. PendeltOn people
have been trying for several months
to get the o. r. & n. to put on a day
light train between that city and Port :
land but the railway company has
steadfastly refused to accede to the
requests. Pendleton people complain
and rightly too, that much of the beau
ties and resources of the vast Inland
Empire are lost on travellers from
eastern states. owing to the night ser
vice maintained to the Oregon metrop-
oils.

BUT CUTICURA WORKS
A MIRACULOUS CURE

"When my little boy was six months
old he had eczema. The sores extended
so quickly over the whole body that
we at once called in the doctor. We
then went to another doctor, but he
could not help him, and in our despair
we went to a third one. Matters be-
came so bad that he had regular holes in
his cheeks, large enough to put finger
into. The food had to be G ven with
a spoon, for his mouth was covered
with crusts as thick as finger, and when
ever he opened the mouth they began
to bleed and suppurate, as did also his
eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, IN
short the whole body was covered over
and over. We had no rest by day or
night. Whenever he was laid in his
bed, we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face and
make an open sore. l think his face
must have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Europe.
hoping that the sea air might cure him,
otherwise he was to be put under good
medical care there. But, Lord be
blessed. matters came differently, and
we soon saw q miracle. A friend OF
ours spoke about Cuticura. We made
a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment,
and Resolvent, and within ten days or
two weeks we noticed a decided inn
provement. Just as quickly as the
sickness had appeared it also began to
disappear, and within ten weeks the
child was absolutely we'll, and his skin
was smooth and white as never before.

PEN No PLACE
FOR INSANE
Criminals in Asylum May
Not Be Transported

Though the new law regarding GRIM
inal insane, passed by the last legisla-
tire, provides that patients of this
class now in the state institutions be
transferred to the special department
at TIE Wai:a Walla penitentiary, it is
declared TO he quite possible that an
attempt will be made to enforce the
NV only IN cases that have come up
since it wac passed. Nothing definite
mas been decided elong these lines, but
Il T. Jones of the state board of con-
troll, who has been visiting the hospi-
tai for the insane at SteilacOom. is
quoted as saying this was the feeling
o. the board at present
There are so few cases coming un-
der this class now confined in the hos
pitfalls, and they are all doing SO well.
it is asserted that members of the
board believe it would be better for
them if they could continue in their
present quarters rather than have them
transferred where the atmosphere
would be one of criminality, rather
than of healthfulness.
With this in view the board has not
issued orders to the institutions to pre-
pare for a transfer of patients, and it
is stated will not do so until they have
been over the law with the attorney
general and see if it is possible to ex-
empt those patients now confined in
the hospitals but far on the road to
recovery. The board believes that if
any benefit can accrue from lax in
depreciation of the law the patients
should receive the benefit of the doubt.
Mr.. Jones would not say that there
would be no transfers made. He said
the board would take the matter up
soon and decide what was to be done

-Eyesiaht ENDANGERED.

PORTLAND. June Awhile sitting
in the yard of his parents home at
Rort Stevens yesterday afternoon, Err
vim Collins. an infant, was attacked by
a large Plymouth rock rooster which
knocked the child down and picked it's
eye. 1t is feared the sight of the optic

save it. 1t will not be known until to-
morrow whether the sight is perma

The lad is the son of Sergeant and
Mrs. J. E. Collins. The screams of the
boy attracted his mother who rushed to
his assistance. She found him sur
rounded by chickens with the big
rooster pecsing away at the boys eye

A closer commercial and social feel
ing between residents of the Milton
district and Walla Walla should be the
result of the visit of Walla Walla mer-
chants and business men to Milton to-
day to attend the strawberry day"
festivities and the banquet to be given
by the Milton Progressive club to-
night. Many questions, vital to the
permanent development and growth
of the Walla Walla valley are contin-
ually arising and to cope with these in
satisfactory manner, it is highly ne
cessary that the commercial interests
of both communities work in harmony.

The Richmond Times Despatch devotes
a column in its recent issue to Capt. Girls
wold's gift, giving the original letter and
its own comment upon the spirit shown
by the Northerner. Some extracts from
this leading Southern paper here follow:
Evidently from the tone of the letter
he does not need the pension which the
government has provided as a reward
for his gallant services during the
struggle between the states, but that he
should tender it for the benefit of his old
antagonists is piece of generosity which
has rarely been surpassed in any country,
to say nothing of the sentiment which
the unique offer expresses.
There is hardly parallel recalled for
this most unique and interesting offer.
Here is a former federal officer, who
went through all the fires and hardships
of actual service in that ever memorable
struggle. He personally faced the fierce
fire of his confederate enemies, and was
often in danger ofgiving up his life. And
yet, when the government for which he
fought, would give him medal for his
bravery, he prefers to take the money
with which it is to be purchased and
appropriate it to a fund for the relief
of the manned and crippled heroes, who,
though warriors, were gentlemen, and
who knew not how to administer cruel
treatment to captured adversary, even
in those days when victory meant the
preservation of southern principles and
southern fortunes.
