A GAME OF BLUFF.

good game of bluff is going on
down In Washington between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Congress, and II
the matter turns out as 1t bids fair
to, few members Of the House and
Senate will be shown up in their
true colors. The trouble all started
over the presidents message, in
which he criticised the amendment
made to the measure providing for
the secret service last year prohib-
iting details or transfers from that
department, the president intimat-
ing that the amendment was made
in order to prevent Investigation of
the records of congressman, Con
gress threatens to retaliate by pass
ing a resolution censuring the presi-
dent, and in return President Roose-
veit says that should they do so he
will by way of justification, pub
lish few facts concerning the re-
cords OF various members of Con
gress which he has secured by the
use OF the secret service men. 1t
may be that there will be severe
shake-up of the members of Con
gress, for there is no doubt but that
there are some men there whose re-
cords will not bear the light of day.
No one doubts, however, when Presi-
dent Roosevelt says he will show
them up. that he will hesitate to
make good, and in the present case
the president has all to win and
nothing to lose.

Getting After the Octopus.

There Is a general movement
throughout the United States in the dl-
rection of getting after the mail order
octopus with big stick. 1t is a
movement born of the law Of self pres
ervation as applied to Individual enter
prise and community interest. People
In the districts far removed from the
overgrown cities have discovered that
the mammoth concerns that advertise
for sale pretty nearly everything
through catalogues and mail order
publications are sapping the prosperi-
ty of the smaller cities and towns and
their outlying communities. The cru
sade against the mail order PROPOSE

and for good reason. Either the tend.
ency toward mail order buying must
be checked or the United States will

The Deputy Inspector OF Diaries
for Coos county, who by the way Is
a woman, created mild sensation
the other day at the meeting Of the
Oregon Dairy Association. by stating
that on her rounds she visited one
dairyman who kept his separator In
the COW shed and after putting the
milk through. and not having a rag
handy, took of sock to wash the
separator with. That's the trouble
with having women inspectors

"Rube" Robbins of Boise City, who
for the past As years has been one of
the best known and most popular
peace officers of the northwest, is
dead. He passed away yesterday at
his home in Boise City, at the ripe
age of 72 years, after one of the most
interesting careers which has marked
the history OF the northwest.
Reuben RSbbins was first appoint
ed deputy United States marshal of
Idaho territory in 1864 and from that
day until the time of his death he has
been constantly before the public as
a public official of daring and cour-
age.
Robbins captured more despera-
does and bad Men" than any other
northwest official and has been large
ly instrumental In bringing law and
order out of the frontier conditions
in Idaho.
During the SOS and 7O's Robbins
was constantly before the public in
chasing and arresting the noted crim-
inals which infested Idaho and be-
sides serving as deputy marshal h.
was sheriff of Ada county warden of
the penitentiary, guard of the express
treasure, member of the legislature,
detective and chief of scouts.
Robbins was well known In Pen
dleton and all over eastern Oregon
and was well liked by all who knew
him.

PUBLICITY MASS
MEETING TUESDAY
SPECIAL SESSION OF
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
Committee VIII Be named to Conduct
Bureau-Effort Will Be Made to
Secure Further Subscriptions-In-
terest i'm County Advertising Has
Been Greatly Increased-Believe
That Time Is Ripe For Action.

On next Tuesday evening another
mass meeting will be held in the
Commercial Association rooms for
the purpose of taking further steps
towards organizing a publicity bureau
and a committee to have charge of
the fund will be named at that time.
For several days it has been the in
tention of those behind the publicity
bureau movement to hold another
meeting soon and this afternoon
President Alexander of the CONNER
cial Association set Tuesday evening
as the time for the same.
While the meeting will be primar-
lily for the purpose of naming a COM
mittee to conduct the bureau it is un-
derstood that efforts will also be
made to secure further subscriptions
at that time.
So great is the interest now mani
Tested in the idea of advertising the
resources of the county that it is
believed the fund can be raised with
but little difficulty. However, the
committee is now refraining
from any further active canvass for
funds until the managing committee
is named. When the latter is select
ed it will then be more fully known
just how the fund will be used and
the work of soliciting will become
easier.

4 Statement.

l take this means to make this
statement to whom it may interest
since some are asking about it.
The Indian ministers that have
helped in the evangelistic meetings at
the Tutuilla church have done so
without any pay or any promise OF
remuneration. The same was true
last year when they were here, but
on the last Sabbath of their stay an
offering was made which was divided
equally, but it only payed a small part
of their railroad fare. We hope to
make a similar offering this year. but
If any interested friend wishes to en-
large that offering by a small Gift.
such will be appreciated by the pas
tor and people and missionary of the
Tutuilla church.
Some of the business men of PEN
dleton have already helped to defray
the bare running expenses Of the
meeting, such as programs, rent OF
chairs and expense of pumping water
etc, and other incidentals.
Much good has been done by these
meetings, all the Christians are mucTs
encouraged and the whole communi-
ty will feel the effect of the meetings
and be the better for having had
them.
This is a plain business statement

Admiral Evans Rests.

San Francisco, May 9.-Admiral
Evans remained in his room all day
resting for the long journey across
the continent. He was somewhat ex-
hausted by the brief visit to the ban
quoting hall last night and for a time
1t was thought best to postpone the
overland trip. but in the end, Evans
convinced Doctor Macdonald that he
was strong enough to start this even
ing.
Although the admiraTs formal
leave taking of the ships was attend
ed even without his presence, he can
not prevent the men who are on shore
leave, giving him a rousing good bye
at the ferry station tonight. Several
thousand will be there to see him
off. At the Oakland mole the Off
GERS of the fleet will bid him good
bye.
