CROWD Al THE GALE
Crowd 90 Small tl.at the High School
Girls of Lead Did Not Give
Their Concert.

After waiting until 9 O'Clock for a
crowd to assemble at the Gale IL, atre
for the concert to be given by tine
Lead High School Girls Glee Club
the entertainment vas finally called
off. although the young ladies aud
their direetor were willing to go
through With the program. Manager
Evans thought that it would no Jay
to light the house for the dozen
people who we're assembled
Mrs. Myra Peters, The director of
the club, felt very bad because OF
the small attendance but took the
matter cheerfully. She is the wife of
the superintendent CT schools of Lead
and conceived the idea Of making a
trip through the eastern part OF the
state. The North Western road fur
nished the party Of twentv-girls with
a car In which they travel from n
point to another.
About the only reason that can be
assigned for the lack of attendance
is the very short notice OF the
coming OF the high school girls.
Manager Jencks received a wire from
Superintendent Peters Jan. 20 for
the date Of the 23d, and Manager
Evans was not Informed of the
coming Of the young ladies until the
afternoon Of the 22d, and this gave
but one days advertising to the
public. 1t was given out in the
schools Thursday morinR and also at
the University, Lut that notice was
entirely too short. Prof. Hof
received a letter Wednesday evening
from Superintendent Peters of the
entertainment, which was also very
short notice. There is no question
out what II the advertising manager
Of the young ladies had let it become
known a week ago that the Lead
young ladies were coming to Mitchell
that they would have been greeted
by a large audience.

matter of simple justice to say that
Senator Nelson was one.of the most
potent forces in securing the passage

An examination of the Congress
sional Record shows that Senators
Kittredge and Nelson were In entire
accord on all amendments offered in
the Senate. save two, and on the bill
as 1t finally passed. The two amend
ments on which Kittredge and Nelson
differed (both conscientiously) was
the LaFollette amendment regarding
liability for Injuries to employees.
and the form of the amendment
offered by Senator Bacon relative to
the prohibition of the use of passes
10y senators. representatives and
judicial officers. On both of thu Sc
amendments Kittredve voted yea"
and Nelson "Nay''.
Considerably more than n hum
dred amendments to the rate bill
we're offered and came to vote in
the Senate. On some of the roll
calls Senator Kittredge was Enavoid-
ably absent, but In all such cases
he authorized Senator Nelson to
announce his pair and state his
attitude. On the first of such roll
calls when the name OF Senator
Kittredge was called. Senator Nelson
made the following statement:
son behalf of the Senator from
South Dakota (Mr. Kittredee) l
wish to state that be has a general
pair with the Senator from Colorado
(Mr. Patterson) and he desired to
have me state that he would vote
on these questions as l vote. were he
present.
Those who desire to verify the
statement that Senators Kittredge
and Nelson voted alike on all amend

SIMPLE BLOOD CLEANER

following: Fluid Extract of Dandelion,
one half ounce: Compound Kargon
one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsapa-

in teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.

For many years, Sarsaparilla alone has
been considered a good blood med

.UMkT|LLA COUNTY
AFTER SETTLERS
AGENTS OF IRRIGATION COMPANY
GO EAST TO PERSONALLY
MEET HoMESEEkERS.

PENDLETON, Feb. 29.-The first
definite movement to bring settlers to
Umatilla county this spring was made
yesterday morning when B. s. Swingle
Of Grand Forks, N. D.. and c. H.
Woodward, of Mooresville, Ind, left
this city for the east to organize a
colony of settlers for the Furnish irri-
cation project at Echo.
These gentlemen have been en-
lployed by the Furnish ditch people to
carry on a personal campaign among
intending cOlOniSts to the west, and it
is thought that definite results will
follow their work in the eastern state.
Mr.. Swingle will be employed in North
ward will work in Indiana, and adj
joining states and their work will con-
which have been sent to intending set
tiers by the Furnish people during the
past few months.
BY calling upon the people who have
received circulars concerning Umatilla
county it is thought that many of them
can be induced to come to this section
of the state and these agents will go
through the country districts soliciting
and advertising Umatilla county the
lactual homeseekers who intend coming
west.
! Not only will these agents boost
the irrigated land of the Furnish pro-
ject, but they have been supplied with
| advertising matter concerning the
stock industry. the wheat belt, the
fruit lands, timber, mines and other
resources Of Eastern Oregon and if set
tiers are not interested in irrigation
they cam be supplied with information
concerning any other feature Of Ore
CONS varied resources.
During the past few months the
Furnish ditch company has sent out
thousandse of circulars and advertise
ments and it is believed by following
these with solicitors that actual re-
suits will follow.
The sending of these men to the east
is part of the plan of settlement to
be inaugurated by DR.. Henry Waldo
ICoe, and associates in the Furnish pro-
Iject. and it is believed to be one Of
1.-THE most successful and practical plans
tyet started for the settlement of the
west with a desirable class of people.
lCharles B. Adams, who is sales agent
for the Furnish people in this city, has
assisted in formulating the plans and
has sent out the advertising matter in
ladvance of the agents.

MARCH USUALLY
A FREAkY MONTH
DATA ISSUED BY OBSERVER NEW.
MAN SHOWS SOME QUEER
WEATHER CONDITIONS.

March winds are due tomorrow, but
lin Walla Wailar there is seldom any
time Old Boreas makes himself disa-
igreeable even in the month popularity
known as the windy month, according
to data for the month, issued today
by Observer Newman.
From observations taken during the
past 20 years, an average velocity of
but 6.2 miles an hour may be expected
next month. These winds will be most
ly from the south, if previous expe-
rience counts for anything. The highest
wind ever known here on a March day,
however, was worthy of the month. A
Southwestern tore through the city in
1887. making a record of As miles an
hour. The case was exceptional, though
and there is little need to fear a repe
ton of the breeze.
Spring usually opens up in March
and from the records it is found that
an average temperature for the month
may be expected to hang closely
around As, although in 1889, the near
was 3d. while two years later the av-
erage for March was only 80. In 1905
lis recorded day with a temperature
| of "a and to offset that is one in 1891
on which the mercury slid down tc
within two degrees of zero.
About 1856 inches of rain is normal
for March, and there will probably be
IL days with more than hundredth
of an inch of rainfall. The greatest
precipitation ever recorded. for March
was in 1904 when AT inches fell and
of this LIS inches fell in "a hours, on
the seventh and eighth. The least rain
fall any March can boast Of was in
1902, when but SO fell. In 1888 it is re-
corded that 4.3 inches of snow FELL the
record for snow in March.

Smith every possible assistance during the fight for statehood which he will begin next month. -Bisbee Review.
 The above is somewhat ambigu ous and it isn't exact y clear whether the Review wants the citi- zens of Arizona to help Mark get statehood for Kentucky or Arizona. Since Mir. Smiths home is in Ken lucky, it is probable the Review means Kentucky.

How true to life are the snug and unctious utterances of our tru- ly beloved John D. who says:
 2 "The novelty of being able to purchase anything one wants soon passes, because what people most seek cannot be bought with money. These rich men we read about in the newspapers cannot get personal returns beyond well defined limit for their expenditure. They can not gratify the pleasures of the palate beyond very m d t Q bounds. since they cannot purchase a good digestion; they cannot law ish very much money on fine raim- ent for themselves or their families without suffering from public rid- icule."
 Is it not meet then, that with loving care John D. 8 h o u ] d pass among us and remove the temptation from our paths, for sur plus raiment, a surfeit of palates and minus digester are indeed bad for the dear people, and much more of these would they have had it not been for this St. Oil Stand ish.
