Another slap at the man who is
knocking. Pendleton is contained in
the announcement of the establish
ment of large jobbing house in this
city. The Nissen Implement company

the Alamo gasoline engine company
o. Hilsdale, Michigan, and will handle
gasoline engines at wholesale for all
the territory included in eastern Ore
gon and all of eastern Washington

of the Snake river
This is made possible by Pendleton's
excellent railroad facilities and by
reason of the recent freight rate rul-
ing of the interstate commerce COM
mission, relative to terminal rates.
To handle the business in this ter
ritory the Nissen Implement COM
pany will put J. S. West in the field
as travelling salesman. Ned Cropper.

some time will be used in installing
engines in the territory adjacent to
Pendleton, while a third man will be
secured to help on the floor of the
big store in this city,
The local company is also figuring
on securing the jobbing business for
other lines and intend to start the ball
to rolling toward making Pendleton
the jobbing center of this part of the
inland empire. The numerous rail-
roads and favorable freight rates are
all favorable to this, according to Mr..
Nissen, who sees bright things thead
for the future of Pendleton.
Nissen said this morning that his
company has already sold an entire
carload of engines in this vicinity this
year and that another carload, which
is on the road from the factory, is
nearly all contracted for In advance.
Under the new arrangements the
Pendleton company will arrange to
have live dealers in every town in the
territory tributary and additional men
will probably be put in the field as
travelling statesmen
In order to handle their greatly in
creased business, the Nissen COM
pany has secured the entire Taylor
building which gives them four floors,
! all connected by elevator. The front

Syear old son Of governor Gillet was
unearthed at San Qnentin prisonwhen
1t was found that j. B. Clifton one
of the most notorious criminals in
the state, serving term for attempt
ing the life of Detective Hodgkins in
Oakland, had completed arrange
ments with a confederate on the out
side to steal the boy and hold him for
ransom. The price of the lads re-
turn to his parents was to have been
Clifton's pardon.
Clifton, in his cell, wrote letter to
pal in which he outlined the details
to kidnap the governors son. and
after giving instructions in this letter
as to how the scheme should be car
ried out he started out to form an
alliance with some of the prisoners
so that he could get the letter out
side the prison and to his pal without
intervention on the part of the prison
authorities. Warden Hoyle was ap-
prised of the plans and few nights
ago he descended on the prisoners
cell and found the telltale evidence.

Those temperance ladies who caused
the canteen's abolition have accom-
plished" said the veteran, what?
Only this: The drinking soldier now
drinks, instead of the mild and pure
beverages supplied by the orderly
canteen, rank, fiery stuff IN demoral-
izing places.
THAT is what these ladies have ac-
complished. They wanted to do the
soldier good But in their ignorance
they worked as vainly as old Mrs
Crewe of Salem.
MRS. Crewe, at the height of the
war, astonished my colonel by send
ing him barrel Of pebbles.

pebble held in the mouth is splen-
did remedy for thirst. Will you please
accept, my dear colonel, this barrel

12-inch Guns for Battleships,

1t has been definitely decided to
install on the new battleships of 26.
600 tons batteries of twelve 12-inch
guns, instead of ten 14-inch guns.
The latter was an alternative pro-
posal that came before the navy gen.
eral board. which has decided that
there would be no material gain in the
adoption of the 14-inch gun for the
main batteries. The army ordnance
officers, however, are building five
seacoast rifles of 14-inch cal!ber, but
of the low velocity of 2150 feet per
second. One of these Is of the Wire
wound type, and the other four are Oh
jacketed construction, Preparations
are now being made for the manu-
facture of four additional wirewound
14-inch rifles, The destination o,
these guns will be the new coast de-
fenses of the Philippines.

HOW WEEK DAYS
GET THEIR NAMES

Formerly the days of the week
We're numbered one, two, three, four
five and six, beginning with the
Sabbath. Even now the custom still
prevails among certain modern
Greeks the Slavs and the Firms. Many
old fashioned and orthodox Quakers,
particularly in the north of England,
still hold 10 this custom, which was
the common one in the days Of the
Apostles and down to the fourth CEN
tury, as well as usual among the Jews
and the Arabs. The orthodox Quakers
use the numerical system in prefer
ence to the ordinary on the ground
that the gods and goddesses from
whom the names were taken, were
not of the highest respectability in
point of morals.
The week was originally only a
convenient quarter of the lunar
month. Hence it began on Monday or
moon day The Italians still call Mon
day the first and Sunday the seventh
day of the week. Tuesday is derived
from the Morse Tiw. who correspond
ed to Mars, the god of war, a most
disreputable person in the eyes of
Quakers Thursday was Thor's day,
Thor being god warrior who was,
morally, no better than he ought to
be. Wednesday again was Wodens
day, Wooden being the god of battle
rage. The Romans called this day
Mercury's. Friday was supposed to
be the luckiest day of the week-for
women. 1t was called after the Morse
Frija, the goddess of love, and is the
best day for weddings. For the pa
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-15

gan Romans it was also the day Of
Venus, though the Christian Romans
called it the day Of ill-luck because
Christ had been crucified on that day.
Saturday was called after Saturn and
Sunday was known to the Christians
as resurrection or sunday.
The week of seven days was import
ed from Alexandria into Greece, and
into Italy about the time of Christ.
The Greeks had previously divided
their month into sets of ten days, the
Romans into sets Of eight days, three
and half sets being equal to one
month.-New York World.
