Tuberculosis and the People.

The war against tuberculosis Is not
a war OF Interests" nor war
of system" 1t is war by the
race against the races enemy. There
fore every member of the race should
be a volunteer in the conflict. The
race being composed of individuals.
it is for every individual to do his
share of the fighting. In this en-
gagement it is a matter of the sur

The Post does not know how long
the present timber supply will last
at the present rate OF consumption.
Figures have been prepared on the
subject, but at best they only con-
stitute an estimate. II is apparent,
however, to all who think and OBJ
serve, that the timber supply Is bein g
consumed much faster than 1t Is be-
ing replenished by the slow process
of nature. 1t follows, therefore. that
the wise thing to do is to carefully
conserve the present supply by using
1t judiciously until great areas can
be planted and matured. Another
fact fully as patent as this is that If
we of thc west ore to dopond upon
agriculture by irrigation during the
next hundred years we must protect
the wooded areas and the hillsides
with the covering which nature gave
them. There has been much kinder
garten talk by way of decrying the
value OF this forest covering as a
means of holding and equalizing the
water supply. but people who have
brains and use them have quit trying
| to argue against the statement thai
proper forest covering does protect
| the snowfall and does equalize the
| stream flow. and, therefore, is of un
told benefit to the farmers, ani

BROTHERS MEET
AFTER 19 YEARS
TEARS OF JOY FILLS EYES
IS. OF EACH UPON RECOGNITION.
Thomas Baker Arrives From Ne
braska UnannOunced and Hunts
Up His Brother, William-Meeting
Arranged by Son of Latter-Talked
Real Estate Deal for Several Mo-
ments Before Disclosure Of Idcnti-
ties Were Made.

For the first time in 19 years two
white-haired brothers met here this
morning and with one so many
changes had been wrought by the
hand of time that he did not recog-
nize the other until he had talked
with him for 10 minutes. The broth
ers are William Baker, father of John
Baker of the Baker & Folsom firm,
and Thomas Baker, who lives at
Fairbury, Neb.
This morning the brother from Ne
braska arrived unannounced and he
sought out his nephew in his furni-
ture store. Going into the store he
kept his identity to himself and told
Mr.. Baker he wished to buy a buck
saw However, he was Immediately
recognized by the merchant as being
his uncle.
1t was then decided to test the eye
sight of the Pendleton brother and
Mr. Baker 'phoned his father that
gentleman wanted to see him re-
garding the purchase of a piece of
property. The elder Baker came
down soon and his brother was in
troduced as "Mr. Waggoner."
For 10 minutes the two brothers
then talked business and during that
time the Pendleton man was ignorant
of the fact that he was negotiating
a trade with his brother. When he
finally learned who he was dealing
with, tears came into his eyes as he
reached out his hand to grasp that
of his relative.

New York, Jan. 9.-The trial of
Harry X. Thaw opened this morning
with nine jurors in the box. Shortly
after the session commenced Frank
Manning, an insurance broker, was
examined and tentatively accepted as
the 10th juror
There is a strong likelihood that
Edna Goodrich, the actress who in
troduced Harry Thaw to Evelyn Nes-
bit, will be held for contempt of
court if the story that reached Judge
Bowling is true.
1t Is said that while Edna was sit
ting in the audience of the grand op-
era house last night she was served
with a subpoena taken out by Attor-
ney Littleton.
The man who served the writ re-
proted today that in a burst of an
ger Miss Goodrich tore the writ in
two and declared that she would pay
no attention to it.
After the peremptory challenges
were filed today only six of the origi-
nal jurors remained in the box.
Matthias B. Welles and Lincoln A.
Stuart were tentatively accepted as

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-Abraham
Ruef spent his first night in a cell
last night, hemmed in by the steel
bars with sbut little besides recollec-
tions of his days OF power as a solace
for the night hours.
Ruef, one time political leader OF
California and undisputed master of
three political parties in San Fran
cisco, serene, piquant scoffer at hu-
man interference, has lost his last
fight against the ignominy of Jail.
With him now are j. Dalzell Brown.

MIA Safety Deposit and Trust frauds;
Eugene Sehmitz, former mayor and
tool of Ruef, and Louis Glass, the

doing business" with Ruef.
In these men is fifty represented a
cross section Of all that is the worst
in American business and political
life of this day.
Ruefs elisorship ended yesterday
when Sheriff Dolan took his office
upon an order by Judge Dunno, who
issued the commitment.

SETTLERS LOOSE WATER RIGHTS
Milk River Suit Settled Adversely for
Irrigation.

Washington, Jan. "a decision
wes rendered by the United States SUI
preme court today in the case of the
United States against Henry Winters
and others involving the right to the
waters of Milk River in northern
Montana in favor OF the United
States.
The suit was instituted by the gov
ernment in the interest of the Indians
on Fort Belknap reservation for the
use Of whom the water was appro-
pr!ated. in 1889. Subsequent to that
time Winters and others constructed
a ditch whose headgate was above
the reservation. on Milk river, and
through which all the water Of the
stream was secured.
The company sought to obtain an
injunction, which was granted by the
circuit court of appeals. The ditch
owners then brought the case to the
supreme court, which, In its decision
today, affirmed the findings Of the
lower courts. The courts opinion was
announced by Justice McKenna.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-09

The decision Of the appellate court
throws the entire graft situation and
legal proceedings into unexpected
confusion. Ruef is in a peculiar sit
uation of having very dramatically
confessed to an act which appellate
court has decided is not criminal.
The decision of the appellate court
reverses practically every important
ruling made by Judge Dunno during
the trial and is great personal tri-
umph> for attorneys Charles Fairall
and Joseph Campbell. who drew up
the bill OF exceptions in the case and
made the most OF the argument on
the objections.
When told OF the result Of the
Schmitz appeal Ruef appeared great
ly pleased, but refused an interview
AS the decision of the appellate court
rs thoroughly examined the more
sweeping and concluSively in favor
of the defendant II appears.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-09

San Francisco, Jan. Mayor
Eugene e. Schmitz won a sweeping
victory In the district court Of appeals
this morning which handed down a
decision not only reversing the decis-
lon OF the Jury which convicted him
OF bribery and for which he was sem
fenced to five years in San Que9fin
by Judge Dunno. but ordering the
trial court to sustain the demurrer
of the defendant on the ground that
the indictment did not state a public
offense or unlawful injury and that
the defendant be discharged upon this
Indictment.
This will probably release Schmitz
from the county jail and 1t is not
probable that he will be tried on the
many other extortion indictments.
He is also jointly indicted in the
United States Railroads. Gas, Park
side and Telephone cases with Ruef
and various capitalists.

RAILROAD WAR
At FREEWATER
O. r.. & n. AND TRACTION
COMPANIES CLASH
Attempt of Traction Company to
Cross o. r. & N. Track to Peacock
Mill Was the Cause of the Minia-
ture War-STing of Empty Cars
Thrown on Sidetracl Blocks Pro-
gress of Traction Company.

A miniature railroad war is In pro-
gress at Freewater and Milton be-
tween the o. r. & N company and
the Walla Walla Traction company
and for the present the o. r. & N.
is victorious.
The clash came over an attempt Of
the Walla Walla Traction company to
cross the o. r. & N. tracks in reach
ing the Peacock flour mill. To pre-
vent this three o. r. & N. cars were
derailed at the point where the trac-
ton company intended to cross the
o. r. & N. track, and later when it
was seen that the traction company
was determined to cross the o. r. &
N. and reach the flour warehouse at
any cost a string of 2S empty cars
were rushed into the siding by the o.
r. & N. Co., completely blocking the
progress of the electric company.
Rivalry between the two companies
for the business of the Peacock mills
precipitated the fight and the outcome
is yet doubtful. Temporarily, the o.
r. & N. company is in the ascend
ancy but it is believed that the trac-
tion company will ask the courts to
give 1t right to cross the track of
its rival and thus have access to the
mill and warehouse of the big flour
manufacturing concern which fur
nishes much business for the rail-
roads.
1t was declared today by an Off
cial of the traction company that the
bitter rivalry aroused between that
company and the o. r. & N. would
probably result In the extension Of
traction lines to every town in the
northwest now supplied by the o. R.
& N. company

MERMIsToN PETITION DENIED.
holds Precinct Petition Should Have
Reen Acted on at November Term.

Acting upon the advise of District
Attorney Phelps the county court
yesterday afternoon denied the petit
lion for an election precinct Tor Her
miston. Consequently the Hermiston-
ians will again have to 60 to Echo
to vote at the state election.
In his opinion the district attor-
usy held that under the law a pre-
cinct petition should have been acted
on at the November term of court.
That it was not held because of the
holidays, but the holidays is not a
sufficient excuse for any action now
as there were two days during the
period upon which the court could
have met had it but known so.

MAY ABANDON TWO VOTING PRECINCTS

After dpigent search among the
scattered settlements of two Umatilla
county precincts, the county court
has failed to find sufficient voters to
fill out the election boards properly
and so the court will name those who
served on the boards two years ago
in hopes that on election day suffc-
lent voters come out of the woods to
conduct the election. otherwise 1t is
likely that no election will be held in
either of these unfortunate precincts,
Bingham Springs and Ruddock, on
the Umatilla river, 90 miles east Of
this city.

Two years ago but 10 votes were
cast in Bingham Springs precinct and
IL In Ruddock, but as many of these
were small stockmen and wood chop
pers, they have moved to other sec
tions of the county and to this city
and It is impossible now for the coun-
ty court to find sufficient bona fide
settlers in either to fill out the elec-
tion boards.
The voters of those precincts can
vote in other precincts for state Of
ficers, but not for county or precinct
officers and so 1t is very much desir-
ed that elections be held in both pre-
cincts.

proposition of guardian for the chill

However other relatives yesterday pc

Attorney w. c. E. Pruitt, to have
Mrs. A. Knots. sister of the deceas-
ed, named as the guardian.
This was done and so the only re-
course Holmes now has will be to
bring suit to have the guardianship
changed. This 1t is said he may do.
