Working For Bill In Legislature.

DR.. T. V. B. Embree returned last
night from Portland, where he has
been working to arrange to have a
measure introduced in the Legislature
asking for compensation to the
veterans Of the Indian war for the
services and loss Of horses in the
Indian war Of 1855 and 1856. How
large an appropriation will be neces-
sary to cover the loss OF horses and
services is not known, but approx
mately 100000 would pay all the out
standing accounts. The bill will ask
to compensate only the survivors.
whose ranks are rapidly thinning out.
The State Of Oregon agreed to pay 81
day to the Indian fighters, the latter
to provide their own horses, clothing
and ammunition. Payment for the
horses, many Of them being killed in
the wal, has never been made.
although half a century has elapsed
since the volunteers went to eastern
Oregon to suppress the redskins. DR..
Embree has sent the measure to Repre-
sentative Jones, and will solicit sup
port from as many members Of the
Legislature as possible.

character of goods is made from
burned bones mixed with diluted oil
of vitriol.
1t seems that there is no law COM
pelling these long shot boys to print
the ingredients on the can and hence
the consumeris easily deceived. Goods
OF this class cost very little to manu-
facture-about or cents per pound,
not much more than the price of the
bone or alum from which they are
made.
We find upon investigation, that
the only real baking powder is made
from cream Of tartar, soda, and a
small per cent of starch to add to its
keeping qualities. All the good
brands have the Ingredients printed

Postofice In New Quarters.

The postoilice was moved Into its
new quarters in the Williams build
ing Saturday night The interior of
the new rooms are beautifully finished
and the Office equipments are dis
tributed in much more convenient
manner than was possible in the old
building where the floor space was
limited. One hundred new boxes have
been installed and it will be possible
for many to rent boxes now who were
unable to secure them before. One OF
the best features OF the Office is the
spacious lobby which will nicely
accommodate the crowds during the
rush hours aud will do away with
much Of the annoyance and incon-
venience occasioned by the limited
space in the old postofiice.

The snow, generally supposed to be
typical Of the Christmas season failed
to materialize this year, although our
obliging Oregon climate made a
heroic effort to deliver the goods Sun
day evening. The Christmas atmos-
phere is not lacking however and the
merchants of the city report a better
Christmas season than usual though
the "Christmas rush" begun a trife
later this year than in previous sea-
sons. During the past week the holi-
day shopper has been the most COM
mon type Of the human species
encountered on the streets and whether
nature furnishes the approved stage
setting Of snow or not, everyone
seems inclined to play his or her part
in the great annual drama Of goodwill.

tiful Art Calendar that has ever been
given In Dallas. 1t is the prettiest

we have no apology to make for it as

ite Valley" by Thomas Moran, is a
masterpiece by the foremost of Ameri-

you will give it the most prominent
place possible. We haven't the slight
est doubt that you will do this, if it
appeals to your good taste and Judge
ment as it does ours. This picture

landscapes by reason Of its absolute
truth, its brilliant coloring, and its
keen conception Of beauty.

walton that the steady growth Of our
business continues. This, we believe
is the result of the fair and square
treatment We give. We are bending
every effort that conservation will
permit to merit new patronage, and
we should be pleased if those who
have not dealt with us will give us "A
trial.
HOW TO OBTAIN OUR CALENDAR.

C0ULON' HIT
fRECKlEO KID

Not until the ninth inning yester-
day could Bill Hulen's painted ones
don their batting rags to any ex-
tent. Then 1t was, alas, too late.
Even the mighty Jack Clynes. he
who won a home here by his fine
work on the opening game with
Butte, famed the air until the
ninth and then he raped out a
triple and scoreJ Hulen. A minute
later Cynes scored. That was all.
The final score was: Butte s. SpO-
kane 2.
The cause of all this trouble was
speckled-faced, long, stingy pitch
err named Hardness. At all periods
of the session he had things stored
up his sleeve that kept the braves
guessing. At that it is said that he
did not try them all yesterday. How
ever, the mightiest pitchers of the
league have fallen before the In
dams wnen they were in the right
humor and Hardness will get his
when they get around to it.
Tommy Doyle threw for Spokane,
but Tommy was just 1ar enough off
color to assist in the general slump.
He gave nine hits, walked two and
struck out two. Hardness gave on
ly three hits, walked two and struck
out eight.
At Seattle, Aberdeen won again
yesterday, making it three straight.
Score: Seattle 0, Aberdeen 3. Boyle
who twirled for Aberdeen gave but
one hit.
Tacoma defeated Vancouver to
l with Butler pitching a good game
for the Tigers. He allowed Van
couver only three hits. Jack Hickey
pitched for Vancouver and if he had
not been wild would have won the
game. He walked six.

The plot centers around Agnes Ben
ton, pretty daughter of widow.
She is loved by two men, one the
son of the man who killed her faith
er in duel and the other a horse
man. who has more courage and
MANHOOD than money. The former
is the sworn enemy of the brother
of the heroine and he makes an at.
tempt to kill him, but is frustrated
by a jockey who guesses his pur-
pose and loads the revolver with
blanks. A banker, greedy and
avaricious, also desires the young
man out of the way and the two
fire at once, neither knowing of the
others presence. The horseman
appears on the scene at the time
and is accused of the crime. The
banker-murderer has the widow in
his grasp and is about to forclose
q mortgage on her home. The one
possession of the family Of any
value is race horse and on a race
at the county fair depends thefor-
tunes of the family. The horse wins
and this is the start of the undoing
of the villain. The horseman, Clay
Girardeau, is finally freed and mar
ries the heroine. These roles will
be played by George McQuarrie and
Ethel Won Waldron. There is some
strong comedy in the play and this
will be in the hands of Miss Cleve-
