Staring at Royalty.


From the London Chronicle
Royalties are early cured of any shyness
of being looked at. They are there to be
seen, and both the king and queen when
they go to the opera and turn their glasses
on to the occupants of opposite boxes are
openly amused by the Disconnected looks
of persons who feel aba shed under the in
spection. Not a trace of self-consciousness
is left on the face of an English royalty,
with the exception of. perhaps. a single
princess under an artillery of glancas.
Such attentions are anything but resented.
Indeed, the beautiful! DUCHESS of Devon
shire used to say that when the butcher
boy ceased to turn round after her in the
street she would know her reign was
over. The king and queen will never lack
such homage. All the same, the delight
of Edward VII in finding himself SO i'm
mune from observation at his favorite
watering place is one which everybody
concerned. and his subjects most of all.
should make sacrifices to preserve for
him.

A Good Job.

1.-THE late Frederick Mentally of our
well-known publishing firm once had &C.
casion," said a Chicago lawyer, ito con-
suit me about an infringed copyright.
Mr.. McNally said he thought there
would be no trouble about correcting this
Infringement. The thing, he believed,
had been innocently done. The man who
had done it was an amateur in publishing
-unsophisticated-like a girl his father
used to tell about in Ireland.
This girl was the daughter of a poor
man, and every week or so she used to
come to the village rectory WI a pleas
ant or hare to sell. The price she asked
was low, and for time the pastor bought
of her.
Then, somehow, his suspicious were
aroused. The next time the girl called
he said to her sternly:
"'It is good, fresh game you bring, my
dear, and your price is always reason
able; but do you come by all these pleas
ants and hares honestly?
oh, shure, yes, yer reverence said
the young girl My father is poacher to
Lord Clare. "

Only forty five persons Shutdown to din

phan Sunday. There was no special at
traction or occasion, and those who We're
there say there was nothing unusual
about it. and that as high as sixty per-
sons have been to the Armstrong homo

teen persons at the Armstrong home who
are there all the time-Mr and Mrs.
Armstrong, eleven children and two hired
hands. The rest of those that were pres
ent Sunday at dinner were kin who drop
ped in without notice to spend the day.
Nothing was said about the large crowd,
and to those present it seemed as ordinary
as family gathering of dozen or less.
Mrs. Armstrong has great reputation as
cook, and it is said that any one who
eats of her cooking is never satisfied un-

Deafening Gunnery Practice.
m the Naval and Military Record.

From the Naval and Military Record
The widespread injury caused afloat
nowadays by gunnery practice is estab-
lished by the fact that most naval officers
who have been treated for various mala-
dies at King Edwards Hospital are found
to have been partially deaf. And If this
be true of the limited number of officers
who have passed through this one hos
pital since it was opened, one cannot re-
sist the conclusion that partial deafness
and acute ear troubles must be widely
prevalent among our fieetmen and men
of the royal artillery.

formed public men say is bound to come
in the near future This is seen in the
number paying poll taxes and getting ready
TO vote in the next year-'prior to Deem
Der l, 1908. The city is receiving more
money for taxes this fall and winter than
Cor many year before. The clerks and
deputies in the treasUrers Office are kept
on rush, as now many Of the men are
paying penalties for failure to settle
their accounts prior to December /, and
the officials are requiring than to pay
property as well as personal taxes when
they come to settle. The new conStitu-
ton requires that a man shall have paid
all his taxes for three years prior to that
in which he offers TO vote. that If a
man owns no property he will have to
contribute Sl.5O for each year. Just
where the men are getting the money is
not known. but the fact is they are COM
ing up with the cash, and the poll tax
goes to the school fund. The business
men are active in this poll tax business,
many of them who have heretofore taken

Fighting the White Plague.

The health department of this city has
entered upon a warfare against the white
plague. 1t is to be carried on with vigor.
There are five establishments for the
treatment of consumptives-Stations to
which the patients are to go and be reg
istered and to have the very best treat
ment. This will cost nothing to the poor.
The physicians in the city are supporting
the movement with earnestness and de-
termination. Lectures on sanitation,
fresh, pure air and the matter of food
are impaired daily. The exhibit at the
jamestown exposition, showing the vari-
Gus forms of the disease. how it is con-
tracted, its effects and the treatment and
cure, is to be brought here for a stay of
one week in order to let the general public
form a fair conception of the plague and
10 serve TO enlist all in the contest.
In addition to this the police have been
ordered to enforce the ordinance pro-
hibiting eXpectorating on the sidewalks
in the street cars and in public halls.
This ordinance has been in existence for
several years, but it has not been en-

A DISAPPOINTED BRIDE.
Came From Nebraska to Wed But
Failed to Get License.

To come from afar to wed the man
of her choice and then fail because no
one can be found to swear that she Is
resident of this county, is the fate
that now confronts certain young
lady who is here today. She is from
Nebraska, while the groom Is resi-
dent OF Spokane. The latter appear
ed at the clerks office this afternoon
to secure license and was confront
ed with the fact that he needed a
friend who would swear that his lady
love is of age and likewise a resident
Of Umatilla county.
Later in the afternoon the young
man returned to the office accom-
panied by Rev. Euster, who sought
to lend a helping hand to the man in
distress. However, the minister could
not see his way clear to sign the af-
fidavit and the two left in disap-
pointment.
" hate to refuse business these
days" said County Clerk Sailing, "but
cannot issue a license without the
affidavit. II l did I could be sent to
the penitentiary or fined not less than
500 nor more than $1,000. Even the

EIGHT PIGEONS WITH ONE SHOT
Janitor GilllIaBd Proves an Expert
With the Shotgun.

With one fell shot Janitor Gilliland
of the court house. killed eight pig
cons last evening and from appearan-
ces he has so disheartened the roof
dwellers that they have utterly for
saken their former lodgings close to
the feet of the goddess Of liberty.
Armed with a shotgun and a per-
NIT from the chief Of police to use it
Mr.. Gilliland stalked the pigeon band
yesterday and at an opportune mo-
ment he opened on them with a shot
that brought down eight. This morn
ing when he arose but solitary pig
con was to be seen upon the roof,
and 1t flew away Immediately.
Since his pot shot the court house
janitor has been filled with some ella
ton, but his story has been consid-
erably dimed by by one from Depu-
ty Sheriff Wilson. According to the
tale of Mr.. Wilson he was hunting
near Bellingham once and with the
charge from a single barrel of shot
gun brought down 2S ducks.

CLUB ROOMS
ARE INVITING
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
READY FOR VISITORS.
Slack Business This Fall and Falling
Off in Membership Causes Some
Anxiety for Ireasurer-Rooms Now
Ready for Winter and Abundance
OF Good Magazines and Books on
Hand-POol and Billiard Tables
Recovered.

Unless business improves at the
Commercial association there is dan
ger that the treasurer's balance at
the end of this month will be repre-
sented by figures of red. In conse-
quence of this those in charge of the
association are indulging in more or
less anxiety and various schemes are
being considered for increasing the
revenue of the association.
During the past six or eight months
the Commercial association has led
very quiet life. Through removals
from the city and other reasons, the
membership has been reduced to a
figure far below the 400 mark reach
ed during the revival two years ago.
The monthly dues from members is
always the chief source of the asso-
cations income and consequently the
loss in membership has been felt by
the treasury. Then the summer
months are always quiet from a club
standpoint so that the receipts from
games were also light.
With the advent of winter the club
rooms are being better patronized
and the place is once more becoming
scene of activity. But even now 1t
is not receiving the patronage 1t de-
serves.

zines, papers and books. you ever

EXTENDING THE SYSTEM.
Company Spends $4,000 in Bettering
Water Supply.

In the betterment of the Pendle-
ton water system approximately So
900 has been expended this year by
the water commission. The two main
items of expense were the construc-
ton of the new main across to the
north side and the laying of 1900 feet
Of additional feed pipe above the
water works. II is estimated that the
new north side main will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, while the
cost of placing the additional feed
pipe was about $4,000.
Last year total of $2700 was
spent on betterments and the net
prefit to the commission at the end
of the year was still $4,000. This
year nearly all Of the profit will be
expended In bettering the system.
