The Senator said the Governor and
majority of the members of the state
legislature have violated their election
pledges in voting against the very
things that they were elected to do.
He quoted w. ]. Bryan's scathing re-
Duke of Democrats who violated the
obligations of their platform.
Lawrence Broke Faith.
He charged that Brooks Lawrence
had agred to let the Madison County
dispensary alone for four years and
that in securing the passage of the
Statewide bill. Mr.. Lawrence had vio-
lated a sacred obligation.
The prohibitionists. he said, had in
their zeal TO carry their point. lost

He asked Judge wealley II 1t Is not

FRENCH AERONAUT DROPS

Calais, France, July 20.-Perched
upon the framework of his wrecked
monopane, Hubert Latham was
calmly smoking a cigarette when
boats came to his rescue after he had
plunged into the waters of the Eng

shore. Latham was uninjured and
the monoplane was but slightly dam
aged.
Latham was attempting to cross the
channel when the accident occurred.
He travelled eight miles, when the
monoplane's motor suddenly slowed
down and the machine fell from the
height of $50 feet. At short dis
tance above the water the machine
dived straight downward into the
waves.
Latham clambered upon the frame

CROWLESS ROOSTER is
DEVELOPED BY WESTERNER

Seattle, Wash, July 20.-Herberl
Joyce of Springdale, Wash. is fast be-
coming famous locally, his boon be-
ing hastened by his latest achieve
ment, the crowless rooster. Joyce
has for years been experimenting
with a peculiar breed of poultry
which he says he brought from one
Of the Sandwich group of islands in
the Pacific ocean.
When he first obtained the wild
birds they made noise not unlike the
hiss OF a goose. He mixed his wild
birds with various types of domesti-
Gated poultry. and has at last obtain
ed a perfect rooster in all respects,
with the exception OF the Growing
properties
Joyce noticed in a paper that in
Washington, D. c., and other large
cities in the east that ordinances had
been passed by the city councils TO
prohibit the rearing of poultry with
in the city limits because Of the OBJ
noxious noise made by the early
morning vocal exercise of the rooster.
Writing to several we'll known men
at the national capital he immediate
ly sold three blooded roosters, war
ranted not to crow. These have
been attracting attention in the west.
Joyce says that ne is sure the age of
the rooster with great vocal power
is nearing an end. for as soon as his
special breed becomes known every
one will want that kind.

H. c. Monroe, erstwhile member OF
Company L and previous to that SOL

languishing in the county Jail, awaiting
the arrival of an officer from Walla
Walla. His arrest was made here
last evening just as ne was about to
leave for the east and after he had
cashed a check for SIS at the Bond
Brothers store and one for the same
amount at The st. George restaurant.
Both are worthless.
Monroe arrived in Pendleton a few
weeks ago to represent the Clarke
wireless telephone and telegraph COM
pany. He was a good dresser and his
genial disposition soon won him many
friends. Having been a soldier for
several years he enlisted in Co. L in
order to have the pleasure of going
to the annual encampment. He re
turned with the other members of the
Company yesterday morning and al
most Immediately began making ar,
rangements for a trip east.
He first secured his pay for the
encampment, together with his dis
charge and then he started out to Sc
cure a little money on the side.
Two checks were drawn on the
Baker & Boyer bank of Walla Walla
for s15 each. One Of these was pre-
sented at the Bond Brothers store in
payment for some clothing. This was
cashed and then one was presented to
George Darveau in payment for a
hotel bill. The last was not paid un-
til First Lieutenant Drake of Com
pany L had endorsed the paper, and
then the money was turned over.
In the meantime Bond Brothers had
'phoned to the bank in Walla Walla
where they ascertained that the ex-
soldier boy had no funds in that in
stitution. Sheriff Taylor was i'm
mediately notified and the check ar
tist was arrested just as he was about
to board the train for the east. The
man promptly agreed to pay back

Dear Sir:
Your article In last Thursday nights s

ter was practically forced out Of bus

ordinance requiring an exhorbtant
license. There was nothing left for
him to do but to seek employment
elsewhere.
The parties to whom you refer to
as being the heaviest losers knew OF
his going and satisfactory settle
ments had been made with them be-
fore he left.
There seems to have been a great
deal Of malice behind the whole af-
fair If you have any regard for JUS

to correct the false impression that
you have helped to create
