LUTHER BURBANK'S PRIVATE
SEAL ON EACH PACKAGE

For the first time, and possibly the
last time during the life of Mr.. Lu-
ther Burbank, nearly every city of
importance in the United States will
have for a few days only, an oppor-
tunity to order a few of Luther Bur
banks flower seeds.
This opportunity until recently, was
beyond all expectations, and were it
not for the persistent efforts on the
part of Mr.. Burbank's friends, and
the citizens of his home town, this of
fer would not be made to the public
at this time.
MIR. Burbank's friends had two OBJ
jects in view in urging him to con-
sent to the distribution of a few of
his improved flower seeds: First,
they desired to reach through some
reliable business house. only one in
each where distribution will be
made, a few of the people who are
most interested in Mr., Burbank's Gre
ations, believing that this will assist
in avoiding the many demands made
through the mails upon him, ulti-
mately giving him more time to devote
to his life study. the propagation of
plant life, without continued inter-
ruptions.
Second-They are also desrous of
giving to each district in the United
States, an opportunity to enjoy a few
IF the results of the achievements of
his life work.
The firm of A. c. Koeppen &
Brothers, druggists of this city, have
been selected as the firm for this To-
'ality.
Every package VIII have the price.
twenty-five cents, marked upon it,

CERK|NG LOSES
DAMAGE SUIT
IRRIGATION COMPANY
WINS BIG DAMAGE CASE
Former Umatilla County Man Had
Sued the Columbia Southern Irri-
cation Company for $4,000 DAM
ages for Fraudulent Representa-
tlons and Failure TO Furnish Water
to Reclaim Land.

The following from the Portland
Journal will be of interest to East
Oregonian readers by reason of the
fact that Mr.. Gerking was formerly q
resident Of this county:
j. N. b. Gerking, the Crook coun-
ty farmer who claimed 100000 dam
ages for fraudulent representations
alleged to have been made to him by
w. A.. Laidlaw, manager for the Co
umbla Southern Irrigation company,
failed to reach the jury with his case.
Judge Cleland granted a motion for
a directed verdict for the defendant
in the CIRCUIT court this morning,
holding that the plaintiff had failed
to make sufficient showing.
Gerklng settled on a tract of land
under the Carey act, and made a con-
tract with the irrigation company for
water 1t was this contract that put
him out of court, for he admitted
having read it before signing it, and
its terms failed to bear out his con-
tentions. He alleged that Laidlaw
represented that title to the land
could be given at any time on de-
mand, but the contract provides that
the purchaser shall make the final
proof to the government.
Gerking claimed he had been dam
aged $4,000 because Of the money
and labor expended in putting the
tract of land under irrigation and
making other improvements. His
son now holds the title to the land
through a contest i'm the United States
land office, while Gerking claims
similar tract acquired at the same
time under the operation of the Carey
land act.
No charges of deception were made
in the complaint against Il. w. Will
son, the president Of the irrigation
this phase of the case be-
ing directed principally against Laid
law.

ATHENA FAILS
To COLLECT
COUNTY COURT REFUSES TO
PAY ROCK CRUSHING BILL
County Commissions and Judge Al
Iege that Amount is Excessive and
Refuses 10 Hearken Unto Pleadings
of Attorney, Mayor and Recorder
Intimate Attempted Hold-up.

The mayor, the recorder and the
attorney for the city of Athena re-
turned home last night after an un-
successful attempt to force the county
of Umatilla to pay them the amount
demanded for the rock crushing which
the county engaged the city to do for
them.
According to the commissioners
and county Judge Gilliland, the city
of Athena requested the county to
place crushed rock upon the portion
of road south and leading into Athe-
ma. This the county agreed to do with
the understanding that the city was to
do the crushing of the rock. A con-
tract was drawn up to the effect that
the county pay the city for the cost
Of the crushing and the payment to be
received was the actual cost of the
crushing.
The county furnished the teams,
put the rock on the road and rolled
It, and then the city Of Athena pre-
sented a bill for $3.50 a yard. This
the county refuses to pay for the rea-
sen that they consider the amount ex-
cessive.
They further declare that the rail-
road had some work done by the city
and that the city crushed the rock
supplied teams to haul it on the streets
and charged them the same price
The county officials also declare that
they are getting rock crushed in the
nelghborhood of Weston for the small
sum of 65 cents per yard.
The commissioners do not deny the
wording of the contract but do claim
that the amount charged is greater
than the actual cost of the work
done, and if the cost was as great as
the city claims that it was unneces-
sarily so.

CARD PLAYING FOR
DRINKS NOT LEGAL

Portland, Ore, March 5.-Playing
cards for drinks received a setback
today when Police Judge Van Zante
overruled the demurrer in the case
of j. Denome and others arrested in
Erickson's saloon on Burnside street
several weeks ago following Wills
Summing tour in the north end.
The Erickson case has been re-
garded as a test case. The demurrer
was based on the ground that no con-
sideration of value was involved, and
that the complaint was defective, as
it did not specify what game each de-
fendant was playing at the time OF
the arrests.
The case will now be threshed out
in the municipal court.

 After that victory the boys wanted a game with the university of Ari- Zona's first team, but arrangements could not be made. It is probably just as well that there was no game with the university, for clean record might have been spoiled and the dis crepancy in weight would not have tended toward an equal contest. Phoenix stands as the only team in Arizona that came out of the season unbeaten. Football will be played next season by the Phoenix high school.
