The passage of the Aldrich currency bill by the Senate has only intensified the vigor of the campaign which the business interests of the country are waginS against it.

The ground of the opposition to the Aldrich measure on the part of business men generally is that it Is at best only a palliative and not a pre- VentiVe of panics. that it affords the opportunity for imitation of currency upon an unsound basis and would be a direct encouragement to bond specu- lation. while it totally fails to provide currency responsive to business needs.

BUMPER BABY CROP
 IN NEW YORK CITY
Stork Has Brought Father Knicker- booker 32,655 Younester This, Year, Making Biggest Total Known.

New York, April 1g. Special cor respondent of The Republican, - Father Knickerbocker if recent figures count for anything. has undoubtedly won the Roosevelt anti-suicide medal. Since the first of the year the baby crop, undisturbed by panics. has as sumcd proportiops never before achieved not only by New York. but by any other city in the world. The storll has been an extremely busy bird hereabouts since no less than 32 655 babies have come to increase the population of the city during the first three months of the year. This is the biggest number on record for any three months in the history of the city and greater by 33Gl than the same period in 1907. Based on this standard Father Knickerbocker may expect about 1000 babies during the present year. and as the increase of the city's population depends on To- cal births for only q small percentage of the increase of it's population, as compared to immigration it seems probable that New York may shortly be the most populous city in the world. Not only is the birth rate the highest m the history of the city. but the death rate the lowest. The aver age in this regard so far this year shows less than eighteen and one half deaths out of each one thousand population. X surprising feature in this connection is found in the de- crease of marriages Whether be- cause Of the hard times or the new registration law is not known. but records for the first quarter of l901 show only 95a7 marriages during the quarter as against 11.750 during the same period last year. As result it appears that while Cupid and the undertakers are less busy. the storl is buster than ever before

WORTHLESS GREEKS

La Grande, Aug. 24.-Eyery Greek
employed by the o. r. & N. on the
coal bins, where 10000 tons of coal
are being stored, were summarily dis
missed last evening.
The reason for the action is that
the Greeks are too quarrelsome and
too mean for practical purposes.
The foremen have had much trou-
BILE with the gang of 80 or so who are
unloading the coal, and came to the
conclusion that more could be done
without them. The dismissal came
all I'm a heap, and the entire gang is
now hanging around the yards await
ing an opportunity to get out of the
city.
japanese will replace them. The
contractors find the latter class Of
less likely to indulge in quar-
rels either with the foremen or be-
tween themselves.

Northwest Theatrical Circuit
Attractions Will Again Be
Seen in PendIetOn.
c. j. MITCHELL OF DAYTON
is NEW LESSEE
No Stock Concern VIII be Connected
With the Oregon During the Com
ing Year-Last Year the Local
Theater Was Outside the Theatrical
Circuit and But Few of the Road
Companies Played Here - Some
Excellent Attractions Are Already
Booked

c. ]. Mitchell of Dayton, Wash, has
leased the oregon theater for a year
and the playhouse will be formally
opened for the season on September
2. The new lessee will arrive here
this evening for the purpose of putt
ting the theater in order.
During the year She theater will
be open to road attractions and the
Northwest circuit attractions will be
brought here. Aside from these in
dependent shows will be used when
dating can be given them without
crowding out northwest attractions.
There will be no stock company con-
nected with the theater as was the
case last year when Morrie B. Street,
er and campany had the house.
Mr.. Mitchell, the new lessee, is a
practical theatrical man and those
who know him have every confidence
in his ability to manage the theater
successfully. He is also in the bill
board business, being a member OF
the association which controls the ad-
vertising billboards of the state and
he will handle that work as we'll al
operate the theater.
Last year the Oregon was outside
the Northwest circuit and as result
Pendleton people saw but few good
road shows Consequently the town
will be play hungry this season and
this fact should insure a good patron
age for the new management. The
list of attractions for the season has
not yet been published. but among
the number will be Paul Gilmore.

GOOD BUILDING
ON FIRE RUINS
W. ii. JONES TO BUILD
BRICK OR CONCRETE
Site of the Wilcox Implement COM
pany's Store Will Not Be UnOccu-
pied Long-Work to Begin on New
Structure Soon As Insurance Loss
on Implement Stock Is Adjusted
Will Erect Permanent Building.

That he will very likely build a
brick or concrete building to replace
the Wilcox implement building, de-
stroyed by fire last week, was stated
this morning by w. H. Jones, owner
of the property.
Mr.. Jones arrived here from Seattle
Saturday. He was intending to make
a trip to Pendleton in the near future
and the news of the big fire caused
him to come at once.
The long corrugated iron and
frame structure used by the Wilcox
company was owned by Mr.. Jones,
as was also the residence occupied by
Tom Thompson and family, Upon
the Office portion of the implement
building he carried 5000 insurance
but nothing upon the remainder of
the structure.
AS to his plans for the future, Mr..
Jones said: II will not do anything
until Mr.. Wilcox secures an ADJUST
ment of his insurance Then If sat-
isfactory arrangements are made
will erect another building for the
Wilcox company. l suppose it will be
either a concrete or brick building,
as I understand that that portion of
town is to be included within the fire
limits"

Once more the forged check crook
has been busy in this city and the old
story, with variations, has been re-
peated. Edward Wilson, alias John
Thomas. alias Thomas Jones and ALI
as w. f. Wilson, IS the culprit and
he is now in the county Jail. He pass
ed worthless checks aggregating near
ly 500 on merchants of this city and
was caught this morning before he
could get away,
Saturday night Wilson, If that is his
name, made some purchases at Bond
Bros store and gabe in payment a
check for 1890 and signed by w, E.
Ruther. 1t was a First National bank
check. This forenoon the same man
passed two checks on other local bus
iness houses. One OF these for $500
was taken by the Livingood company,
while one for $3.50 was taken at
Max Baer's store. At all OF these
places the fellow made purchases
amounting to several dollars and Sc
cured the change In money.
The discovery of the forgery was
made during the forenoon by George
Hartman, jr., assistant cashier of the
First National bank. The check from
Llvingood"s store was presented by
T. c. Taylor and 1t was Immediately
declared a forgery by Mr.. Hartman.
A short time later the two other
checks arrived at the bank, thereby
clinching the bankers suspicion. w.
z. Ruther. whose name was forged,
has an account at the bank, but the
swindler was unable to initiate his
signature sufficiently we'll to make
his work pass the critical eye at the
bank window.
AS soon as the forgery was discover
ed the search for Wilson waH taken
up and he was soon found by Deputy
Joe Blakeley and Charles Bond. He
had evidently made no attempt to
leave the city, believing that his game
would not be detected until Ruther
received a statement from the bank.
When arrested Wilson. became sui
len and when asked to write his name
for George Hartman, refused to do so
unless he had one of the checks to
copy from. This assistance was re-
fused him and he was taken to Jail,
He made no explanation of his con,
duct evidently taking it for granted
that he had been caught in the act
When searched another check,
signed by Ruther's name and made
out for $S9.9O to william Johnson,
was found in his pocket. One of the
checks passed here bore the endorse
ment of w. Vogt, well-known here,
but this endorsement is also believed
to be forgery.
