the machines bolt forward on their
dizzy journey, while 100000 others
were concentrated In other villages
along the route to view the race.
Going to the post the pilots of sew
cral IF the most powerful machines
were doubtful as to whether they
would be able to complete the course
with the amount OF gasoline allowed
them.
The betting odds on the Nat cars
heightened on this account. Some Of

At E|LERS PIANO HOUSE
NOW THE. TALK OF THE TOWN

At last people are waking up to the
immense bargains being offered by
this great and progressive house. There
has never been a time in the history
of the piano business just like the
present. Business conditions make
business changes. The Eilers House
has had more goods in the town Of
Pendleton than was necessary to take
care of the trade. People storing
their pianos with them overcrowded
their warerooms and they were COM
PEELED to resort to some method
whereby they could diminish the
stock. Since opening their sale on the
18th of the month they have disposed
of a number of beautiful pianos, but
still have quite a number of others
left which for beauty Of case and
quality of tone cannot be excelled.
The prices and terms are wonderfully
reasonable and to be convinced of this
fact the citizens of this town and coun-
ty should call at once and see them.
You can buy a beautiful piano now

TAXATION OF LIEU LANDS.
No Assessment Until Final Receipt Is
Issued.

In reply to query from District
Attorney Frank Menefee, of The
Dalles, Attorney General Crawford
yesterday rendered an opinion regard
ing the taxation of indemnity selec-
tions made in lieu of forest reserve
lands. The opinion says:
Replying to yours Of the 21st inst,
asking the opinion of this office as to
whether indemnity selections made in
lieu of forest reserve lands are tax
able as soon as the selection and segre-
cation is made in the local office, or
are they free from taxation until such
time as the secretary of the interior
approves the list of selections and
passes them for patent, permit me to
say, in my opinion they are free from
taxation until the list of selections is
approved by the secretary of the in
terror.
The general rule laid down by
nearly all of the cases is to the effect
that lands are assessable for taxing
purposes in any state from and after

BREAKS UP A COLD IN 10 HOURS


Breathe Hyomei and Get Quick Re-
Hef-Cures all Bronchial Trou-
bles.
AS usual thing remedy that has
immediate action contains powerful
drugs that should be used sparingIy.
This Is one Of the reasons why the
ordinary tablets that are sold for
coughs and colds should not be taken
by people with a weak heart, as they
have Il dangerous stimulating effect.
When Hyomei, however, is
breathed quick relief is obtained in
natural way. Its healing medical
ton goes right to the spot where the
disease germs are present, at once
soothing and healing the irritated
mucous membrane. Tho action in
this way is similar to spreading a
salve upon burn.
No other medicine for the cure Of
coughs, colds and bronchial troubles
is as rational as Hyomei. Breathing
it through the neat pocket inhaler
which goes with every outfit, 1t can
be used either in the nose or mouth,
thus getting full medication into the
nasal passages or the throat and
lungs as desired. ], gives almost in
slant relief IN all affections Of the
bronchial tubes, and is guaranteed to
break up a cold IN ten hours. This
guarantee is given by one of the best
known druggists in Pendleton, Tall
man & Co, with every Hyomei out
fit they CELL
A complete Hyomei outfit consist
ing of a bottle of Hyomei, an inhaler
that can lie carrjed in the vest pock-
ct or purse, and medicine dropper,
costs but one dollar, with gunran-
tee that IL ii does not give satisfac-
ton the money will be refunded.
Should extra bottles Of Hyoinei he
needed they can he obtained for only
SOC; the inhaler lasts a lifetime.

Frozen Mutton for Canada

Word comes from Ottawa that
having succeeded with experimental
shipments of frozen Australian NUT
ton to British Columbia points and
even as far east as Winnipeg. Man,
an Australian exporting house has
chartered the entire cargo space Of
the Canadian steamers
from Sydney until March next. The
contract covers $4,000 carcasses and
also reltries, picked opossum and
rabbit skins for Canadian manufac-
ture, says the American Sheep Rrt ed
er. Ii Is said that the trade has enor-
nous possibilities in supplying the
west practically with fresh meat of
a kind far preferable to anything now
available at the same price. There is
SAID to be every prospect that Argen-
tina will also attempt to cater to the
Canadian market with chilled meat
OF this kind. This looks as If the
sheen business is not yet overdone on

In the cases of homesteads, timber
