LOCAL FREIGHT BUSINESS
EXCEEDINGLY HEAVY

During the past week aboIt so car:
OF freight each day have been hauled
off the Pendleton branch of the
Northern Pacific, says a walla walla
item. This statement was made this
morning by a local official, who added
that this condition would prabably
continue until after the entire wheat
crop had been shipped. In the past
few days the wheat on Eureka flat
has commenced to move, and that
branch of the n. P. is expected to do
an enormous business.
Freight business on the main line is
also said to be heavy. Last week
about 1900 cars of freight were han
died over the Pasco division each day,
and the equipment was taxed almost
to its full capacity in handling the
business.
The shipment OF grain over the en-
tire line is commencing to be heavy,
and prospects now are that the roads
ir this section will do a much larger
business than last year.

THE SAVINGS BANK
is NOW NATIONAL


He is a Umatllla county native and
every customer of the bank is hi>
friend
Everybody knows Tom G. Mont
gomery, the assistant cashier. Raised
in Umatilla county, he has been ac-
tive in business pursuits since he
reached mans estate, being in the
grain business previous to becoming
q banker.
The conversion Of the Savings bank
to a national bank will be appreciat-
ed by its customers, and speaks vol
umes for the progress and prosperity
of Pendleton and Umatilla county.
The change was made in record
breaking time. Only 10 days ago the
national bank examiner was in Pen,
dleton to examine the Savings bank
ard report to the comptroller upon its
application to become a national
bank.
That he found the bank in a most
excellent condition is shown by the
prompt action by the Washington au-
thorities upon the receipt of the ex.
aminer's report.

as thick as a mans arm, 5h feet
long and had eight rattles. 1t took
five hours for Morgan to get to Ash

arm. His finger was cut to let the
poisoned blood run out, and three
pints of whiskey in his stomach and
one pint injected to make him drunk,
and strychnine was administered all
night. Exactly a week before he had

California Is Richer.

According to a report by the state
board of equalization made public to-
day the assessment value of all prop
erty in the state for the year 1908 is
s1,991,554,6OS, an increase over that
of last year of S112,S93,66S, says
Sacramento item.
Such an increase in one year shows
that the assessed wealth of the state
is rapidly approaching the two-bil-
lion mark. The showing is regarded
as remarkable in view of the fact
that California is just emerging from
a period of financial inactivity. In

horse teams with trailers going
through the streets to the warehouses

Walla item.
The country roads are somewhat
dusty at present and that always
works a hardship on wheat hauling,

so is wearing on the wagons as the
dust grlnds its way into the axles.
The cooler weather which has pre-
vailed for the past day or so how
ever, has served to alleviate some Of
the dust and as indications point to
general rain in the near future
wheat hauling will then be more ex-
tensive.

FIRST AUTO FOR
CHURCH WORK
REV. W. I. CUSTER ARRIVES
WITH AN OVERLAND
First PendletOn Minister TO Use an
Automobile in His WOrk-Success-
full Run Made From Spokane TO
This City-New Machine Climbed
All the Hills and Made Good Time.

Rev. w. T. Euster, pastor of the NJ.
E. church, returned last night from
his trip to Spokane, bringing with him
the first Overland automobile for
Pendleton. The run was made from
Spokane by way of Colfax, Almonta,
Pomeroy, Dayton and Walla Walla,
and by measuring the speed with
miles run the record would be 1S45
minutes or 22 hours from Spokane
to Pendleton barring all tire cuts and
stops.
The car is a 22-horse power car,
weighing only 1900 pounds. and hav-
ing next to the lowest gasoline con-
sumption records in the United States.
1t is a four-cylinder engine vertical,
water and air cooled, and all the con,
troll is by wheel and with the feet.
There are no handle brakes, or chang.
ing from one speed to another ex-
cepting by foot control.
The car has made SO miles per
hour on level road. 1t has a record
for hill climbing on high gear. 1t
took all the hills and grades on the
route from Spokane including the
Snake river canyon and that of Pom,
eroy Dayton and Marengo,
Mr.. Euster says that he can do four
times the amount of work for the
church in a given amount of time as
he could without this. There are
many families living in various parts
of the country with whom neither
himself nor Mrs. Euster have ever
become acquainted with who are
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-28

members of the church and many OF
them have been members for long
time, but they are out so far, that
only by means of a good car can he
ever reach them.
The pastors in Spokane are secur-
ing these cars as rapidly as possible
to do their work even in a city, while
the country is neglected for want of
some way to get to the people. Mr..
Euster has secured the car solely for
this purpose, making it an investment
for the good of the cause.
