and Stubbleield Home at
Walla Walla.

With 100000 and the very exis-
tence of the Stubbletield home of
Walla Walla in balance, the assault
upon the will of Joseph L. Stubble-
field was renewed in the Pendleton
courts Monday afternoon. The fight
says the East Oregonian, for the pos
session of one of the most valuable
estates ever left in Umatilla county is
now to be carried to the supreme court
OF Oregon, and possibly into the Unit
ed States Federal court, for q decision.
AS result of the action taken an
administrator was appointed for the
estate of Mrs. Joseph l.. Stubblefleld
and the trustees of the Stubblefield
home have been cited to appear in
court by July 10, and show cause why
the clause of the Stubblefield will
providing for the establishment of
the home should not be declared void.
Joseph l.. StubEle6eld resident
of the east end of Umatilla county,
died November is, 1909, leaving an
estate valued at $4,000 OF this
vast sum Of money $4,000 was be-
queathed to the widow and more than
$50, 900 to other relatives. The res
idue, amounting to $160000, was left
in trust to three trustees. r. M. Dor
othy and E. A. Reeser of the east end
of this county and Attorney q. M.
RAIDER Of Walla Walla. The 31st
clause of the will. which created this
trust fund, provides that the estate

income from which should be used for
the maintenance of home in Pendle-
ton or Walla Walla for INDECENT wild
ows and orphans.
1t provided that the home should be
located in the one of these two cities

$40, 900 for the purchase of site and

ey. and accordingly the home was

Reservoir is full.

The big government reservoir for
the Umatilla project is now as full as
it will be filled this season. The head
gate for the intake canal has been
closed down and hereafter all the wat
er in the river will be used in the
private projects. At the present time
the water is 30 feet deep at the dam.
This makes a lake nearly three miles
in length and one in width and con-
tanning more than twice enough water
to irrigate every part of the project
now ready for the water, says the East
Oregonian.

MAMMOTH MINERS.
The Experts Who Prospect and Dig
For Prehistoric Creatures.

The Experts Who Prospect and Dig
For Prehistoric Creatures.
Mammoth miners are experts who
know where to prospect for man.
moths and how to dig them out, even
as the mining engineer knows where
to prospect for silver and how to ex-
tract it.
In the west, in Alaska and In Sibe-
rim mammoth miners are always at
work. They are always unearthing
creatures that died 100000 years ago.
Siberia was the mammoth's true
home. Siberia 100000 years ago was
one luxuriant forest. Here the fur
covered beasts, with their ten foot
trunks and their fifteen foot stature,
swarmed Then an earthquake re-
moved a barrier range between Si-
IBERIA and the Arctic ocean, and those
low lying forests were inundated. AL
their animal and vegetable life was
killed.
| The first of the drowned Siberian
mammoths was found in 1799 by al
Eskimo villager on the banks of the
Lena. 1t was imbedded in vast cake
Of ice. The villagers melted the ice,
they feasted on the ,000-year-old
flesh, and then they sold the tusks.
Only the bones remained when Zlo-
tower of the Petersburg Imperial mu-
scum reached that outlandish village
after a journey Of $500 miles. He
took the bones back to the museum,
where you may see them mounted to-
day. He bought the tusks from the
ivory traders and fixed them on the
skeleton, and the book he wrote about
his find Is still a text book among the
mammoth miners of our day.

THE PRIZE COWARD.
You Get One Guess on Where This
Man Finally Landed.

The Lincoln Daily Star of April 26
published the following Associated
Press dispatch:
"Des Moines, Ia. April 26-Peter
Miller. father of fourteen children.
committed suicide Sunday by swal-
lowing carbolic acid. The man was
employed by the American Iron Works
and recently became i'll. He told his
wife that he could no longer take
care of so large a family The widow
is destitute"
You get just one guess on where
Peter landed.
You guessed right the very first
time.
There is only one place where such
a despicable coward could land-and
right in the very hottest part of it,
too. Jam up against the middle hinges
of the center furnace door.
There's something wrong with a
scheme of things that makes it i'm
possible to yank such dirty coward
back from the other side of the Styx
and give him a taste of what he might
expect. There is also something
wrong with the scheme Of things that
makes it impossible for a man TO sup
port a family.
But Peter had yellow streak-a
broad. vividy yellow streak-clear up
his back and three times around his
abdomen He couldn't face trouble
in the shape of hungry wife and four
teen hungry little ones. so he swal-
lowed poison and left one poor little
woman to face what he couldn't. That
is the sort of thing that makes The

CHARACTERISTIC TACTICS.
How .scab" Manufacturers Propose
to do Dirty Work.

That the manufacturers of cheap
non-uniou articles will resort to all
kinds of low and dirty tactics TO fool
the workingman is well known fact,
hut the writer ran up against new
game last week and would advise
purchasers to be on their guard.
The argument that he put up to
the Lowell merchant was this: Now,
you want TO make money. Ii you han
die my goods YOU will net at least one
dollar a dozen more on mine than you
will on Carriers. | don't want YOU to
discontinue Carriers goods. they are
a good article What | would suggest
is that YOU place a pile of my goods
ON your counter right next to Carter's
union labeled overalls and when a
man calls for a pair of union made
overalls, show him Carriers then
YOU can give him a pair of mine. III
not having the label. you can apologiz
and say that there must be some mis-
take. Take him over TO the Carter
pile. show the label and exchange
the overails for him. BY so doing you
make him feel right and he VIII go
away satisfied. II he does not come
back YOU make eight cents more on
your transaction than if YOU sold him
carter,s goods"
Now what do YOU think of that?
Mr. Rube from New Hampshire did
not get an order for his non-union
trash and Joe says that he never will
get one. aud that he will continue to
sell Carter's as long as they bear the
union label.
The foregoing is not an advertise
ment. We simply publish it that
trades urionists may be on their guard
and at all times look for the union
label before having the article
wrapped up.-Merrimak Valley Labor
Journal. Lowell. Mass.

FRED KINDS CANDIDACY

Without at all disparaging the other
candidates for councilman from the
Sixth ward. the Wageworker wants
to give it as its opinion that Fred
Kind is the man to elect TO that posi-
ton. You know Fred. He is the
cashier at the Armstrong Clothing Co..
store. If he gets the vote of every
man in the Sixth ward for whom he
has done favor. he will have a ma
jority that will surely win him the
place. The only regret this paper has
is that Fred isn't running for alder
man so we could all vote for him. No.
he does not belong to any union-he
simply boosts for all the unions, As
there is no cashiers union he can't
get union card, But he's got union
ism where a lot of card men haven't
got tin his heart Isn't that
enough

A WORD ABOUT PINNEY.

So far as The Wageworker knows
W. T. Pinney is the only man who
carries a union card who is a candi-
date for city office. Mr.. Pinney. who
is an active member of the Musicians
Union. is candidate for alderman
from the Seventh ward. Every union
man in Lincoln will have chance to
vote for hinl-ani if they do not &C
cept the chance they will be remiss in
their duty to fellow unionist His
ability is beyond question and his in
tegrity is above dispute.
