ROSS TO STAND TRIAL.
Wreckcr of Portland Bank Held TO be
CriminAlly Responsible.


Criminally Responsible.
A Salem dispatch says Of the trial
of j. Thorburn Ross for the failure
Of the Title Guarantee and Trust
company bank:
Judge, Martin l.. Pipes, for the
state, scored a splendid victory in the
first legal battle of the Ross trial this
morning, when Judge Burnett held
that the officers of a bank are liable
for the wrong doings of the corpora
tion.
The defense had contended in a
comprehensive argument extended
over four hours that bank as an in
stitution, and not the officials of the
bank. Is liable.
This Is not case between the
Title Guarantee & Trust company
and the defendants. but it is a case
between the state OF Oregon and the
defendants A corporation cannot be
indicted, and therefore those who
are the moving spirit of the corpora
ton are held liable. for they have
aided and abetted in a criminal act"
That was the conclusion arrived at
by Judge Burnett, after hearing the
argument Of counsel which began at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday morning and
lasted until o'clock last evening.

II was feeling wretchedly that morn
Ing, and / made up my mind to try
the medicine. l had seen leading ply.
sicians without number both East and
West. They had been unable to help
me In the least, and I no more be-
lieved this Cooper medicine could help
me than 1t could bring a dead man
back to life. really don't know why
/ bought 1t. It was like drowning
man clutching at straw.
ITO make long story short, II has
been astonishingly successful In my
case. Today / am enjoying a sound
stomach and perfect health for the
first time In twenty years. can eat
heartily without the slightest inconve-
nience afterward. I have fine appe-
tite, and sleep well. l am no longer
moody and depressed, and my nervous
ness has entirely disappeared.
ANY man who has chronic dyspep-

The La Grande Star says OF the
booster meeting held at La Grande
Wednesday night, at which Tom
Richardson spoke and in which the
sum of $4,000 was raised for adver-
tising purposes:
The movement for a bigger and
more progressive La Grande was
fairly launched at the meeting held
at the Commercial club rooms yes
terday evening. The program as
heretofore announced was carried out
practically without change. Pres
ident Campbell of the state univer-
sity, spoke briefly. reclting the good
OF building up Eugene. Mr.. Campbell
was followed by the L. d. S. quartette
which received the usual encore.
Judge I. II. Crawford introduced
Tom Richardson, who went straight
to work on the subject in hand and
that was the enthusing OF the audi
ence with the benefits and necessity
of advertising as a means of building
up the community. He said the
theme must become a matter OF re-
liglous conviction with every resident
OF the town so that everyone from
the children on up would become en-
thused with the fact that they were
residents OF La Grande.
1t was also necessary to do this
thing in the right kind OF a way, and
that money would be required. The
A., Idea that any good can be accom-
pllshed on a nominal monthly pay
ment OF dues is absurd. To pretend
such a thing was only a subterfuge
and an excuse, At the conclusion of
his remarks he called for subscrip-
tions to be made in monthly pay
ments for the period OF a year. AZ
the meeting last night about $500
was thus pledged. The largest sub
'scriptions are: La Grande National
bank. $50 per month; George Stod-

OREGON SCHOOLS TO
RECEIVE $119,1OO.
Largest School Fund Distribution Ever
Made In the State-TOtal for the
Year VIII BE Over $3.50, ,OOO-Uma-
tllla County Receives $4,000.

The Salem Statesman says Of the
large school fund apportionment be-
ing made at this time:
Owing to the fact that there is an
unusually large amount Of money on
hand in the state treasury 1t has been
decided to advance the various coun-
ties Of the state a substantial advance
on the sums due the counties from
the common school fund Their pay
ments are due in August and the re-
mainder Of the moneys due will be
paid at that time.
Deputy State Treasurer Perkins
states that the income from the
school fund will be greater this year
than at any time in the history of the
state. Usually the total has been
about $25O,OOO. but this year 1t is ex-
pected to be considerably more. The
amount apportloned at this time. 1t
will be seen by the following, is more
than $119,100.00:

CURED IN THREE MONTHS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

at take great pleasure in telling you
what n great help it was for me to use
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
for my baby niece. She was suffering
from that terrible torture, eczema. 1t
was all over her body but the worst was
on her face and hands. Her hands were
so bad that she could not hold anything.
She cried and scratched all the time and
could not sleep night or day from the
scratching. ] had her under the doc
tors care for year and a half and he
seemed to do her no good. / took her
TO the best doctor in the city and he said
that she would have the sores until she
was six years old. But Il ! had de.
pended on the doctor my baby would
have lost her mind and died from the
want Of aid.
"I used all the remedies that every
body told me about and tortured the
child almost to death. Then ! saw in
the paper how Cuticura was the thing
for irritating skin. l bathed her. with
warm water and Cuticura Soap and used
the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured
in three months. Now hor skin is as
clear and smooth as 1t could be. l shall
recommend the use Of Cuticura wherever
/ see the skin in bad condition. Alice

Cooper was explaining his new the.

While In Boston I heard a great deal
about this man Cooper and his medi-

had been relieved by Cooper's medi-

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles A Pendleton Citizen
Citizen Shows How to Cure Them.

Troubles - A Pendleton Citizen
Citizen Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. II suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
1t Is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think It
will soon correct itself. And so 1t is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That Is Just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may result in diabetes
or Brlght's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Pendle.
ton people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. Arthur Hammer, living at TIT
Aura street, Pendleton, Ore, says:
For the last five years Doan's Kid
ney Pills, which I procured at The
Pendleton Drug Co., have been Just
as effective in eliminating backache
as they were when they first came
to my notice in the spring of 1908.
Doan's Kidney Pills proved conclu-
sively to me when I recommended
them to my friends that they were a
reliable remedy and 1 still vouch for
their merit as have the greatest con-
fidence in them"

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: | have
listened to the arguments being made the
stump in our county. we'll as throughout the
State. in favor of license liquor law as against
prohibition. the speakers declaring decided
preference for open saloons over enforcement
on the ground that the quality of the liquor
sold illegally by pocket peddlers and others
1.-The meanest kind of men in the meanest kind
of business is of the vilest, and that under
license only pure liquors would be sold. Now
if the makers of these arguments are sincere
in saying that they are fully aware of the great
injury that would come to the youth of our
State from the liquor habit, and desire to save
them from it, they should remember that the
much talked of express package of liquor
brought to the home to be used as medicine
or a beverage is sure in all cases to be kept
from the youth of the home and the liquor is
rarely used to excess by the older members of
the family. And this l claim to be strong
and hopeful situation, so long as the male mem
bers of these families are not tempted to as
semble in the SALOONS on every corner
Cases will be very rare where young men
Will degrade themselves ny SeehlHS the pip@
pretors of kitchen bar rooms or pocket ped
dlers to do business with. 1t is a well known
fact that we have but small percentage of
Intoxicating liquor drinkers among our young
men of today compared with twenty-five
years ago and this condition has been brought
about under prohibition; not wholly from the
enforcement thereof, but through the great
educational and uplifting power it exerts wher-
ever talked or studied. Therefore, let us hope
that the wellmeaning people of Waldo county,
and of the State, will continue to demand of
their officials constant work along these lines
and do what they to assist in the election
of such officials as will pledge themselves to
perform their duty under the law and fulfill
their promises after their election.
