District court in Portland, Friday, a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy by

ships. The schedules show liabilities
of nearly million dollars but these
Liabilities are chiefly in the cases
where the petitioner is a signer of
partnership notes for which others

tributed that the loss will fail on
many concerns and many of the loans
are secured by collateral. Frank B.
Purinton of Fairfield also flies a
voluntary petition. Mr.. Purinton
having been in business with Mr.. Nye
is jointly liable with that gentleman
for the debts incurred through their
association as partners. Consequent
~ Mr.. Purinton's liabilities do not
add greatly to the total Mr.. Nye is
prominent lumber manufacturer of
Fairfield and has been engaged in
other enterprises.
The petition of Mr.. Nye prays that
he may be adjudged by the court to
be bankrupt individually and also
as a member of the partnerships
mentioned. Annexed to the petition
are schedules showing debts of the
petitioner, both as an individual ana
as member OF the several partner
ships. His individual liabilities
amount to S169, 1867 of which SCI,
633 SO is secured, 5000 unsecured
and S24, 1921 liability on notes and
bills discounted.
His personal assets as filed are real
estate TO the value of sic, 100, on
which are mortgages aggre eating
S13,9U0 His personal property, not
exempt, is Sl58; stocks and bonds are
given as S5399.70; property claimed
to be exempt is stated at 1922,
The schedule showing the petition
er's liability as a member Of the
first partnership mentioned shows
debts TO the amount OF 800
The petitioners liabilities as a
member OF the second partnership
are given as $44, 1927. Al. Both of
these partnerships ceased business
long prior to the date of the petition
and each is declared TO have no
property.
The petitioners liabilities as
member OF the third partnership
mentioned are $6s9,475; of this
amount $3.50, 500 lis secured by col
lateral.
Frank B. Purinton files a petition
individually and also as member of
the first two partnerships in which he
seeks to be discharged individually
and as member of said firms.
There has also been filed in the
District court an involuntary petit
ton by the Peoples National bank
of Waterville, Hanson, Weber &
Durham of Waterville and the Ma
tional bank of Fairfield against the
S. a. Nye Manufacturing Co., of
Waterville. The Peoples National
bank holds notes of the manufac-
turing company to the amount of
$500, Hanson, Weber q Durham
1856 %. and the National bank of
Fairfield a note for $1,000.

PREMATURE REJOICING.

There has been a good deal of mild
rejoicing in a certain class of newspa-
pers lately over the alleged or reported
failure of the three-cent fare regime
that under Mayor Tom L. Johnson's
leadership was put into effect a few
weeks ago in Cleveland, says the Ore
gon Daily Journal But this felicita-
ton of the organs Of combined capital
ism that is inclined to become over
hearing may be premature. Consider
able chuckling, speaking figuratively,
has been INDUCED in over the fact
that for the month of May the Cleve-
land Municipal Traction company
showed a deficit of $4,000 SO fail
ure of the three-cent fare theory and
the downfall of Johnson was gleefully
predicted in many editorial columns
This may happen yet, but such a
result is not as certain as some peo-
hope. In May the company was
struggling with big strike and gen.
eral business depression. In June the
deficit was not half so much The
president of the company predicted
last week that there would be no de-
ficit that the balance would be about
even for July. At this rate it will not
take many months to wipe out that
$4,000 of deficit and have a balance
on the right side of the ledger
The effect of the reduction has
been to increase the traffic already
to the extent of 100000 passengers a
day. And as business continues to
pick up it may be expected that the
revenues of the company will increase.
So it looks as if the three-cent fare
experiment might not fail after all.
Tom Johnson is not only "stayer"
in fight, but he is a good business
man besides. 1t may be his turn to
crow next.

WHY WE ARE LOSING SOUTH
AMERICAN TRADE.

In answering the question. "why is
Europe robbing US Of our South Amer
ican trade?" Emerson Hough in Sue
cess magazine, says:
Because we are thoughtless as to
our transportation. Because on a
great deal of our products we pay six
times as much for freight as we need
to pay Because we laud traction,
with all its friction, with all its waste
against water transportation, which
has free right of way, which has no
rails to be removed, and no large SAL
airy list to pay. Because we use only
steam where we might employ cleo
tricity and gasoline and the winds Of
heaven and those mighty rivers flow
ing steadily to the sea.
We fail because we pit politics
against craftsmanship; because we pit
sectionalism against nationalism; be-
cause we pit state rights against the
Monroe doctrine; because we do many
other wholly foolish and absurd things
which make parts Of our wholly fool
ish and absurd reasons for not devel-
Oping the natural and foreordahed
transportation Of this lavishly provid-
ed country. In short, we do this be-
cause we have never learned that
water runs down hill, and because we
have never noticed on the map, or
anywhere else, that our streams run
down from our producing regions
from the places where we raise wheat,
coal, iron, livestock, and the like-all
manner OF heavy freight.

WHAT SUGGESTION WILL DO.

Reading, Pa, has been recently
startled by a freak negro curing
whooping cough by kissing white
children in the mouth. For the past
two weeks, during an epidemic of
whooping cough this negro has been
both busy and successful.
Nobody believes that the kiss OF a
negro has any virtue as a medicine,
but it is declared by highly RESPONSE
BILE people that cures have been effect
ed by this outlandish performance.
1t is simply an evidence of what
suggestion will do. Some old gran
n.y. told her neighbors of child be-
ing cured by negro's kiss, and as the
story flew from mouth to mouth, peo-
pie began to believe it and constantly
suggested it to neighbors until cures
have followed.
Had the same old granny" made
people believe that the kiss of Po-
lander or a Bohemian on the sole of
the foot or elsewhere on the body,
would cure whooping cough, this rem
edy, and not a negro's kiss, would
have leaped into prominence in Read
ing.
And had people believed that Po-
lander's kiss on the sole of the foot
would effect cure, the negro would
not have been lionized. But it would
have been the Polander's day"
The cures effected by this freakist
method in Reading are results Of men
tai suggestion This potent force will
some day revolutionize medical sci
ence

springing up as It did from amidst the
sagebrush It is not surprising that the
aesthetical side was neglected for the
moment. The rancher breaks the sod
upon his claim before he paints his
house or sets out flower garden.
But Pendleton is now past the pio-
neer stage and the day for improve
ments is at hand. The start was made
when the streets in the business sec
ton were paved Since then other
betterments have followed naturally.
This fall will see the completion OF
levee Improvements. OF the city hall
and the extension of the sewer sys-
TEN to the west end of town.
Five years from now Pendleton will
have a mountain water supply a city
park, a beautiful cemetery fine driv-
ing streets and public buildings that
will be shown with pride to visitors in
the city. In the residence sections the
homes will be better cared for be-
cause the spirit of improvement will
be in the air. Lawns will be prettier
than now, old fences will be removed,
concrete walks will be seen every
where and the sides of the streets in
the residence districts will be parked.
It is needless to say that these
changes will make the town a better
place in which to live. They will
make 1t an ideal residence town for II
already has the climate After a few
years wealthy eastern oregon people
will not go to Portland to live. In
stead of that the more fortunate fam
lilies of western oregon will come here
to dwell in a town where they may
have the benefits of good air and sun
shine as God intended they should.

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for CatarrIl?

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients ofPe-
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, ofwhatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was Of
undoubted value in chronic catarrhal
diseases and had stood the test ofmany
years experience in the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT.
EVER. Perna iscomposed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingred-
lent of Peruna has a reputation of its
Owninthe creofsome phase ofcatarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BINED KN0WLEDGEOF SEVERAL
SCH00LS0F MEDICINE in the treat
ment Of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge Of the modern pharmacist; and
last but not least, brings to the home the
vast and varied experience of DR.. Hart
man, in the use ofcatarrhremedies, and
in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh, They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. 1t may be Of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease The only trouble
is the remedy, This doctor has tried
to cure them. That doctor has tried
to prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartmans idea is that catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, Of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied di-
rectly to the people, and no more be
charged for it than is necessary foi
the handling of it
No other household remedy so uni.

UNIATLLA's SUPREME TEST.

The season of 1908 will go down in
the history Of Umatilla county as the
year in which the supreme climatic
test was applied to her agricultural
land.
With but little snow in the noun
tains during the preceding winter and
with no rain during the growing sea-
son, crops have thrived and are yield
ing well in all sections Of the county.
yhe test has been severe and con-
vlncing. One farmer declared that he
had marked up the price of his wheat
land 25 per cent since threshing this
week. when his wheat yield was made
known. %e is justified in doing it.
His land and all OF the wheat land in
the county has proved its virtue this
year
Hereafter there will be no alarm at
temporary drought. The matchless
soil Of Umatilla county will stand the
test. II requires but little moisture
to yield enormously.
As result Of this test applied by
nature, the greatest Of all alcisJnists
the price Of wheat land in this coun-
ty has actually advanced. It is worth
more In dollars and cents than ever
The knowledge that it will pass
through the fires OF a rainless season
and yield handsome returns, is worth
a million dollars to the county.
