Feeling and looking well in spite
OF the busy congressional session and
the long hard trip across the contl-
nent, Judge w. Il. Ellis returned
home yesterday, arriving here on
train No. 1. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Ellis, who was with him In
Washington and upon the visit In
Iowa.
Since his return, Congressman Ell
lis has been a busy man. shaking
hands with friends, receiving con-
gratulations upon his election and
talking over matters pertaining TO af-
fairs in Washington.
The Federal Building.
From a Pendleton standpoint the
chief work done by the second dis
tricts representative was the secur-
ing OF the $4,000 appropriation for
the federal building. For this favor
the people OF the city have felt kind
ly towards Congressman Ellis and the
Judge himself is glad that the build
ing Is TO be forthcoming. Since his
arrival he has inquired regarding the
various sites submitted TO the govern
ment and said:
81 hope that there will be no diff
ficulty over the selection OF a site
and that those offering their prop
erty to the government have quoted
reasonable prices so there will be no
hold-up. Should the department be
unable to accept any location the
money for the building will simply be
retained where 1t is and Pendleton
will be the loser"
Work During Summer.
During the coming summer Judge
Ellis will devote much of his time to
preparing himself for the session next
winter Practically all of the pre-
lIminary work on the river and har-
Dor bill is done during the summer
months and accordingly he with other
Oregon men will commence at once
on the task OF preparing oregon's
claims for presentation.
An effort is 10 be made to secure
a larger appropriation for Cello ca
nal and other work on the Columbia.
Furthermore, Judge Ellis is anxious
to assist his colleague, Congressman
Hawley in getting an appropriation
for the Willamette. Among other
things It is desired to have the fed
eral government take over the Ore
gon City locks now owned by the
state.
Now that he has returned home,
Congressman Ellis will remain in the
state until next November. Part of
the intervening time will be spent at
his home here, while the remainder
will be devoted to travelling about 9TH
er portions of the district.

Queer Wording

The wording of the call for the territorial republican convention has occasioned considerable dis satisfac ction in some of the counties of the territory, ia that it presumes to dictate to the county committees the method of calling the county primaries and the election of dele gates. Heretofore the call has merely set the day for the conven- .tion, fixed the apporsionment and left the manner of eleoting dele gates to the county committees to whom it rightfully belongs.
 It is also claimed that the call was not made by the executive committee, as it purports to be, and that the executive committee was not consulted.
 The county committees can be trusted to do the right thing, and the deviation from former calls ap- pears unsavory.

IT'S A WATER LAC" NOW

Water intoxication. induced by too copious use of water externally or internally, was pointed out by Dr. L. D Mason, vice president of the American Society for the Study of Inebriety, Alcohol \and Drug Neurosis. as being as dangerous as overindulgence in alcohol.
 Dr Mason, who is a delegate to he American Medical association convention. delivered an address on Why Men Drink" He declared patent medicine drunkenness all most as prevalent as the generally recognized forms.
 "I have friend who is a victim f aquama ania," he said. "He spends hours in a bath tub and lrinks 90 much water that he has -educed the solids of hi. body aud worked serious injury to himself. Many men and wotnen drink too much water and are victims to that form ofintoxication.
 We are all creatures of habit, md our best men and women are susceptible to habit. Thousa nds Ire victims of patent medicine lrunkennsts. One temperance lecturer of my acquaintance drinks 70 much of this stuff that he is constantly under the influence of this drug or intoxicant. Most of these patent medicines are 75 per cent cheap whisky.
 "This is really a serious question for temperance societies. Whom they secure a pledge of abstainence from a man or woman they should also exact a pledge against the use of patent medicines.
 "Tea and coffee drinkers also generally are incorporate. They keep themselves constantly under the influence of these stimulents. to the injury of their sight and other senses.

Says Miracles are Publications

Prof. Herbert L Willett, an in struotor in the divinity school of the University of Chicago recently declared the old testa ment to be fiction. He said the miracles of the good book were fabrications, and nothing more than ia bles.
 This sensational announcement was made in an open lecture at Haskell hall and ca used sensation in the religious school.
 Prof. Willett classes the follow ing stories az fiction:
 Jonah being swallowed by a whale.
 The Red Sea opening up to al low the children of Israel to esca pc from the bondage of Egypt.
 Part of the story of Adam and Eve ia the garden of Eden.
 Lots wife turning to salt when she looked back at the forbidden city.
 Abraham taking his son Isaac into the mountains and offering him as a sauriice.
 Samps ,n staying 1000 Phillistines with the jawbone of an ass.
 The falling of the walls of Jericho
 Professor Willett prsfaoed his disbe lief in the truth of the old testament by telling of how Christ instructed by parables, and that the church since that day has used fiction to. teach morals and ethical truths.
 He say.a modern belief similar to the old tssta msnt was the story of Santa Claus.

May Be Chief Justice

It is reported that Secretary of State Root is President Roosevelt's choice for chief justice of the Uni ted States to fill vacancy that will he ca used by the retirement of Chief Justice Fuller. There is no question that the legal ability of Eihu Root would add greatly to the weight and dignity of the Su- preme Court. Mr. Root is 63 yeara of age and in the prime of life
 The question is not whether he is big enough for the place, but whether he would make the sacri- flee his acceptance would entail. Secretary Root is not a wealthy man as wealth is measured thes- days. and had he followed his own inclinations would have retired from the Ca binet some time ago to resume the active practice of law
 The distinguished honor of being Chief Justice is one not to be thrown lightly aside, and many hope that Secretary Root will decide to accept the offer the president has made

MORE THAN IT CAN BEAR

The discussion among the big railroad men of the question wheth- CT they should make a horizontal 10 per cent increase of rates or let it alone is a rather instructive sigr of the times. The magnates, or some of them. appear to be con vinced that the ancient law of de- mand and supply is played out and has been repealed by the trusts Tn some degree that is true. but, in fine, human nature remains un- changed and the law of demand md supply has it's roots in the ele mental nature of mankind
 When the magnates met in de- 'ate they found they could not ,aree on the policy proposed With the best disposition in the world to 'xact higher rates many of then were pursued by fear that the in ,rease was more than the traffic would hear. That is the final ar yutnent in railroading, says tn. Call of San Francisco It is tn. oasis of all rates and classifica-
 ions. and it is a law from which
 here is no appeal. In word, i' vas made plain that an increase in rates at this time would act az . frost on business. now just begin 1ing to recover from the effects of the panio. The increase would cut the gross iaeoms of the roads, while leaving the interest and other fixed charges unchanged There would be no gain in net earnings after those charges were met and the re- vival of business would be seri- ously hindsrsd.
 Hartman is said to have led the forces that advocated tho insrease, but Hill and the men who run railroads that must compete with the Canadian lines would not agree. The Canadian competition is already 70 stroRg that Montreal is taking away from New York large part of the wheat shipping trade. An increase in rates for low grade freiehts would take all this business away from the American roads.
 The law of demand and supply is still in operation, although it is a little ragged in spots.
