East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-07

Renewed activity Is taking hold or
the Y. NJ. c. A. in the two state as
sociations of Oregon and Idaho, and
circulars appealing to the better sem
timents of the citizens of these states
are now being sent out by l. b.
Rhodes, secretary at Portland.
The association is growing and Is
doing an immense amount OF good
and Pendleton is the next big town
in the northwest to secure Y. NJ. c.
A. building.
The following interesting circular
letter from Secretary Rhodes has just
been received by the East Oregonian
and It is gladly given space in the
hope that It may stimulate interest in
this worthy institution. Mr.. Rhodes
says:
Assuming that you are interested in
the welfare of boys and young men,
we are writing to secure your interest
and cooperation in the work that is
being done by the Young Mems
Christian association. The modern
association is a we'll organized force
for righteousness and clean, manly
living in those cities and communities
where It is organized.
Not only is It established in our
larger cities, in most of which It has
well appointed buildings, but It is al
so organized among men in our col
leges and universities, among railroad |
men, in the small towns and country |
through the county as
sociations, and in lumber camps. |
mines, etc.
In addition to what Is done by |
organized associations, much /
has been accomplished by state ex-
eoutive committees in places where
here are no associations. through
such means as holding special meet
ngs and classes for young men, in>
young men going to the
titles to responsible persons through
! system OF correspondence, and pro-
riding a wholesome place of recrea-
ion at military encampments.
In Oregon and Idaho there are
nearly 100000 boys and young men,
large percentage Of whom are away
rom home and subject to the temp
ations common to young men. The
association is already established
mong them with a four city, one
one county and Is college
associations, with a total member,
hip of over 1000.
There is still a larger unoccupied
leld, involving Is cities with 1000
opulation or over, most of which are
skiing for associations; five railroad
vision points, three or four counties
here it is feasible to organize, with |,
rom 1000 to 1000 boys each; and a
core or more Industrial centers
mong lumbermen and miners.
This work of extension and organ,
alton is entrusted to the state ex-
,utive committee which also super.
ses the associations already estab-
shed and promotes other activities
!. unorganized points as suggested in
lie paragraph above. Experience
as proven that the cooperation OF
e state committee Is absolutely es-
initial to the successful establish
ent and operation OF local associa.
)ns.
This feature of association work Ia
entirely by voluntary con-
buttons. A number Of men
roughout both states are already

Moore & Banner, the federal build

good over the fact that they were
able to finish putting on the con.
crete roof on the government build
ing Saturday night. Five or six days
of the very best kind of weather pre-
vailed last week, and the contractors
were just ready to commence work
on the roof, and they pushed the
work just as hard as possible, and
they completed the work at the end
of the week. Mr.. Moore said that this
will enable them to work all winter
on the interior in putting in the con-
crete floors and eventually finishing
the structure much earlier than they
had they been unable to have put on
the roof.

NeEoFul KNOWLEDGE
Mitchell People Should Learn to De
tect the Approach Of Kidney
Diseasey

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are SO unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full Of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by a sensation
of scalding. The back aches con-
stantly, headaches and dizzy spells
may occur and the victim is often
weighed down by a feeling of langor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's Disease, or, diabetes. Any
one of these symptoms is warning
enough to begin treating the kidneys
at once. Delay often proves fatal.
You IA use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Mitchell
proof:
Mrs. Leo Hofstetter, 2o1 W.

to suffer from kidney complaint
about four or five years ago. There
was a throbbing in my back, at times
accompanied by headache and spells
of dizziness. 1 tried a great many
remedies but nothing seemed to give
me relief and I gradually grew worse.

home was ready.
A month before he had sent Eliza
beth 500. He had said he would ex-
pect her on the 10th Of August and
would meet her at the little station
twenty miles distant.
This was the 10th Of August, and
Roger had not heard one word from
his sweetheart. Nevertheless he bar
messed the sorrel team to his buck
board and started forth to meet the
1890 express from the east. Before
they returned to the farm they would
drive to the minister's and be mar
ried.
Roger whistled merrily as he round
ed the sorrels before the lonely little
station. The station master sauntered
out and chatted about the weather
and the crops.
There was a piercing shrek. and the
express Numbered along the platform.
A couple Of trunks were dumped from
the baggage car. and q girl in brown
alighted from N Of the coaches. BY

express had pounded away into the
