kidneys to strain and filter certain

What Dairying Will Do

During the month of June the
amount of cream brought in by the
farmers of the vicinity of Pullman
averaged something better than S400
week or $500 or more for the
month, says the Pullman Tribune. At
the Hazlewood station the largest
checks ranged from S35 to $50 per
month Among those who received
these checks were Walter Glasyey,

PLANS FOR \ REST ROOM.

The hot season is now on and
country people coming to Pendleton
to trade feel the need Of a cool, quiet
place where they may sit down undis-
turbed for a few moments to rest
after finishing their shopping.
It seems that the churches, the
Commercial association or somebody
with the means and organization
should start a movement to fit UP a
permanent rest room for the accom-
modation Of Pendleton's friends.
Women and children cannot sit in
stores or soft drink parlors. They
cannot walk the streets on these hot
days after their shopping is done and
while waiting for a train. A place
fitted up especially for them with
seats, layatory, toilet, tables and drink
ing water should be provided.
Nothing would be more appreciated
by the country people than this sort
OF a convenience. Nothing would be
o. more credit to Pendleton than to
prepare such a place.

Fourth of July committee and told
them that La Grande should never
again hold a celebration OF any event;
that the saloons had heretofore con-
tributed practically all of the funds
for such events and that now that the
saloon patronage would be withdrawn
and the patriotism of the business
men and people in general would
wither away and dry UP and Fourth
Of July celebrations, charity balls,
Commercial association banquets and
ether public entertertainments were
things of the past in La Grande.
But about this time the Fourth of
July committee came to its senses ana
began to get mad. And then they told
the saloonmen a few things which
would not be suitable for publication,
al least in Pendleton.
But then and there the committee
resolved to have the biggest, best,
most entertaining. most attractive,
most successful Fourth of July cele-
bration in the history of La Grande,
And that is what they did.
The parade was the best and long
est the music was better, the exer-
cises were better, the crowd was more
pleasantly entertained, everything was
carried out in a vigorous, business
like manner and La Grande really
had the best celebration in her his
tory.
And there wasn't dollar of any sa-
loonman's money in the fund, either.
The Fourth of July committee got
even.

HOW LA GRANDE GOT EVEN

Shortly after the recent election in
which Union county voted prohibition
by about 500 majority. the Fourth Of
July celebration committee Of La
Grande started out to collect fund
for a celebration.
The committee called on the lead
ing business men Of the city and was
met with a hearty response until fl
nally a saloonman was asked to con-
tribute a mite TO the fund.
Then the Fourth Of July committee
got the riproaringist roasting and
loudest round Of abuse and Villifica-
ton that ever startled the quiet at
mospheric peace Of the best town.
This saloonman called a number OF
his fellow roasters together and sing
.Iy and collectively they abused the

ONE WOMAN DELEGATE.

Mrs. Lucy \. Clark of Utah, the
only woman delegate to the national
republican convention, is 5S years old
and the mother of IL children. She
brought the photographs of eight of
them to the convention. Mrs. Susa
Gates, the other woman who was
elected as an alternate, is the mother
OF IS. Mrs. Clark is by no means the
first woman to enjoy the distinction Of
being delegate to a national conven-
ton.
In 1900 Mrs. VIII. Jones was sent
asa delegate to the national repubi-
can convention in Philadelphia. and
Mrs. Elizabeth Cohen to the demo-
cratic convention in Kansas city. Both
were from Utah and served through
the sessions. This is the first in
stance of the kind on record, al
though women were sent as alternates
from wyoming to the national repub-
lican convention at Minneapolis in
1883.

DIDN'T NINE COAL ENOUGH.

For a while we heard reports of a
serious depression in the Pennsylvania
coal districts, of cuts in prices, cuts
in wages, lack of retail trade. idle
men and idle cars, says the Spokane
Chronicle. The operators, because the
market was temporarily slack curtail,
ed their output, instead of building up
a reserve stock.
Now the movement of coal to the
Great Lakes for the markets of the
west and northwest has begun in ear
nest and with the short time left this
season, even pessimistic operators can
admit that all of them combined will
be unable to supply the demand.
In other words, the country may
suffer another coal shortage and an
other reign of high fuel prices here
next winter.
In certain cases conservatism, like
everything else, may be carried to such
an extreme that it becomes a vice.
