A Pair of Eavesdroppers,

When l came down after dressing

upon a letter in Laurancs Donovan's

marked New Orleans. II was dated,
however, at Vera Cruz. Mexico, De-

to dodge the British detective who raj

cross the borders into Texas, but de-
clared that he should keep clear Of In

the Indian language.

Larry's report of himself was not e

knew that If he had any idea of trying
to reach me he would not mention It

that he might join me grew. l was
not, perhaps, entitled to q companion
at Glenarm under the terms Of my

My neighbor. the chaplain. had In
a~dvertently given me a bit Of impor-
tant news; and my mind kept revert
| ing to the fact that Morgan was re-
| porting his injury to the executor OF
my grandfather's estate In New York.
Everything else that had happened
was tame and %unimportant compared
with this. Why had John Marshall
Glenarm made Arthur Pickering the
executor of his estate? He knew that
detested him. that Pickering's noble
aims and high ambitions had been
praised by my family unti1 his very
name sickened me; and yet my own
grandfather had thought 1t wise to In

DEAD ENDS" BAD,
SAYS DR.. SMITH.
LOCAL PEOPLE URGED
TO BOIL ALL WATER
Much Typhoid Attributed TO Water
Supply Whereas In Past Majority
of Gases Came from Country-Gro-
GERS Should Screen Produce TO
Guard Against Contamination
Through Flies.

"Pendleton people should be more
careful than they have ever been in
guarding against typhoid declared
DR. c. J. Smith this morning. "Ty-
phoid cases are now more prevalent
than at any time during the summer
and this year they appear to be due
to local causes, where as in the past
most of the typhoid has come here
from the country"
"All water should be boiled before
being used and grocers should see
that all their produce is thoroughly
screened in order to prevent con-
tamination from flies"
Though he has had confidence in
the Pendleton water in the past DR..
Smith believes that this year the
supply is responsible for much of the
typhoid now existing. But in his
Judgment much of the trouble comes
from the dead ends of the various
mains, He says that a number of re-
cent cases have occurred in families
living in the lower parts Of town and
using water from the dead ends In
order to lessen the danger the dead
ends should be flushed often, even i'll
the water supply is low,
Not long ago as a member of the
state board of health, DR.. smith
made an investigation of the typhoid
conditions at Eugene and it was dis
covered that much of the fever then
existing in that town was directly at

with a livestock parade Of nearly

Of the district fair was opened with

SEATTLE JUDGE TO TEST
STATES PRIMARY LAW

Seattle. Sept SO.-Defeated for
nomination in his district, Judge Zent
of the superior court of Adams, Ben
ton ana Franklin counties, will in
stitute proceedings to test the valid
ity of the new primary law under
which Washington's nominations
were made this fall.
Judge Zent will apply today to the
supreme court for writ of manda-
mus directing the state canvassing
board and the secretary of state to
declare that no nomination exists in
the district in which he was can
6idate.
Judge Zent alleges in his applica-
ton that the ballots submitted to the
voters were void because Of uncer-
tanty, for the reason that his oppo-
nent failed to specify in filing his
declaration for candidacy whether he
desired the nomination for the long

PLAN POULTRY SHOW FOR PENDLt7ON

The splendid exhibit OF poultry at
the fair has revived the talk of hold
ing big poultry show in Pendleton,
some time during the winter and 1t
now seems that enthusiasm on the
subject has reached the point where
a successful show Is nearly assured.
The object of the show will be pri-
marily to stimulate the chicken in
dustry In this vicinity and particular
ly to encourage the raising of thoro-
bred chickens, though the show will
be open to the whole country. 1t is
proposed to have an expert poultry
man brought In to serve as judge and
10 have score cards filled out for each
exhibitor These cards can be taken
home and the person having them can
study their cards and find out In
what particulars their chickens are

deficient.
The fair management is heartily in
favor of the plan and is willing to do
all in its power to encourage the To-
cal chicken fanciers in the PROPOSE
ton,
1t is believed that the affair can be
made the biggest kind of success
and an effort will be made to secure
n premium list though the prizes Of
fered will not be the only incentives
urged to induce the growers of
blooded chickens to come to the show
with their fowls. II is hoped to arouse
such an interest In the affair that
chicken men from all over this part
of the northwest will be glad to come
with their exhibits though nothing

for prizes.
