MILTON S NEW BUILDINGS COST $4,000

That Milton, the beautiful home
town of the east end of Umatilla
county, will make substantial pro-
gress this year is shown by the fol-
lowing enthusiastic article from the
Milton Eagle;
Milton is growing some-just a lit
tle-and 1t is believed that not less
than $4,000 will be spent for new
buildings this year, besides several
other projects are under considera-
tion and like amount will probably
be invested in 1909. The business
men of Milton are conservative and
when they invest their money in city
improvements it is a sure thing that
business conditions justify It.
Now many are awaking to the fact
that the growth in population of the
town and surrounding country de-
mands better business buildings and
there is plenty of money ready TO put
into them.
Mlton's growth has not been
marked by unnecessary boasting or
beating of tom-toms, but 1t has been
| steady and substantial and before
the older residents were aware of it
they were living in a modern city Of
electric lights a gravity water sys-
/ tenn, graded streets, concrete side
walks electric street cars, and i'm
posing dwelling houses.
Everything has grown but the bus
mess portion Of the town and now that
will be remedied by the enterprising
citizens and Main street VIII be ses.

structed. or are reasonably sure to be
constructed, in the near future:
In Course of Construction.

| The local odd Fellows lodge has at
last decided to build on their lots at

and at the last meeting a committee
was appointed to secure bids for the
construction Of a building to cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000. Plans
have been drawn and local contrac-
tors are already figuring on the prop

The building will be 80 feet deep

Of the Modern Woodmen of America

At the society's present rates, with
IL assessments per year, the mem

average Of only 1890 Of each $1,000 in

that calls for rate readjustment.

Head Consul A. r. Talbot's report
also presented today. recommends the
establishment of a sanitarium for
tuberculosis, a site for this purpose
having been already secured at Colo
rado Springs, Colo. The members Of
the order are reported as having al
ready contributed $5O,666 for this
purpose.
A thorough consideration of the
rate question is also urged by Consul
Talbot, who predicts that legislation
in the various states within the next
few years will render it imperative
that all fraternal orders shall read
just their rates. During the last two
years the order has admitted S55.6O1
new members and has paid 12,5O4
death claims, aggregating $21,7S5,-

ROBBED MAIL To GET FINE CLOTHES

1t was the aesthetic taste, it seems,
and her longings for higher and finer
things that. led to the downfall of
Mrs. Nellie E. Ragan, former asst
ant postmistress at Royston, and at
one time known as the cowgirl queen
of Southern Oregon, against whom
an Indictment containing four counts
was returned by federal grand jury
this morning, sustaining the charge of
robbing the United States mails
which had been placed against her
two months ago, says the Portland
Journal
Among other fancy articles that
taken from the United States mails
and converted 10 her own use are
two sofa pillow covers, each of which
was addressed to other persons Then
pretty petticoats and fancy hose,
cream colored and dainty blue union
suits are aleso mentioned in the in
dictment as having been among the
effects which Mrs. Ragan confiscat-
ed from the channels of Uncle Sans
mail service.
Corsets Included.
But in keeping an eye open for
delicate articles Of an ornamental ma
ture, Mrs. Ragan did not, according
to the charge Of the government Of
ficials overlook the necessities Of
life. For the evidence shows that
such articles of wear as corset covers,
white vests and many other pieces Of
dress goods had been taken by the
woman accused.
one of the counts in the indictment
is that Mrs. Ragan took charge of a
sofa pillow cover belonging to Mrs. |
Abe Erb at BLY,. This was rather a !
fancy affair; and particularly attrac- |
tive 10 the eye. The cover is made of
postal cards This was taken, it is
charged, November IS, Another sofa |

jurors. Miss Leonard claims a petit

A venerable citizen OF this State,
who had seen service in the Confed-

that he was lonely in his Of age

The advertisement told of HIS be

the information that he was able to
provide for a heipmate and would not

THEY ARE GLAD.
Republicans Are JubiIant liThat
Senator TlIIman Is Absent.
ARE AFRAID OF HlM,

The Republican Leaders Said to BE
Breathing Easier Than i'm Yenrs
Because of the Enforced Absence
OF the Senior Senator From Soutb
Carolina.-Dcmocrats VIII Greatly
Miss Him and His Leadership.
The Washington correspondent OF
'lhe News and Courier says since f.
was announced few days ago that
Senator Tllman's physicians had
positively forbidden him to return To
Washington before the beginning OF
the next session of Congress and in
the meantime had ordered a complete
change or LIVING in every respect,
there has been a considerable amount
OF discussion as TO who will take his
part in the Denver Convention and
will lead the Senate until he returns.
1t is said that Republican leaders
are breathing easy now for the first
time since Tillman went to the SEN
ate. While they admit that he has
toned down considerable since his
advent into Washington political life
he is still, they say, anything but
doclle, and what troubles them most
Is that they never can tell just where
or when he is going to break out.
That part of the Senator's makeup
has given them more trouble than
a little and many times when they
thought him quieted he was only
gathering more material for a still
mightier onslaught.
Beveridge, Lodge Aldrich, Hale.
in fact all the big men on the Re
publican side Of the Senate wear a
different look now from that to be-
found on their features two weeks
ago. They knew Tilman was
fighter who did not know the mean
ing Of the word fearand they had to
gusssi mas 81 q IS to-
tackle in order to geb a hold Some
times they held him, sometimes they
threw him, but it was always be-
cause of the combined forces OF the
on one side as opposed
to the half-hearted help Of the Dem
ocrats on the other.
No man who had made plans to
attend the Denver Convention will be
more missed than Tillman and many
Democrats who expect to attend from
different parts Of the United States
have so expressed themselves. He
was to be the central figure-certain-
ly so far as the South is concerned
unless it be Bailey, OF Texas, and
there is now serious doubt whether
the great Texas orator will be al
lowed to present his State or not.
lowed to represent his State or
not. There will be cther
Democrats from various sections OF
the country, but all eyes were be-
ginning to centre on Tillman and
Bailey as the two Southern leaders.
The people Of Texas have never
been able to believe that their for
mcr idol, Bailey, was entirely divor-
ced from the scandal that two years
ago came near ending his political
life. when his alleged connection
with the Waters-Picrce Oil Company
became known to them. In order
that the people OF Texas may vote on
the issue as to whether Bailey shall
be one Of the four delegates at large
to the Denver Convention special
election is to be held May 2. Should
lit be decided at that election that
Bailey shall not attend two OF the
foremost Democrats in political life
to-day will be abSent--Tillman and
Bailey.
