YOUNG WOMAN
ESCAPES FATE
Of A MARTYR

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 4.-Senor-
ita Andrea Villereal. sister of
Senorita Teresa Villereal, who,
with her father, was thrown in
prison in Torreon, Coahaquilla,
Mexico, and whom it was feared
might be shot, today declared her
positive belief in the report that
her kinsmen have been released.
The news of her sisters re-
lease, she said, was in a letter
mailed at Monterey, Neuva Leon,
which announced the safe arrival
of Teresa and her aged father,
and stated that they both are
safe at the home of friends in
that city.
According to the letter that
brought the glad tidings to An
drea, her sister was well treated
in the Mexican prison. and was
the recipient of profuse apologies
when she was released. The Off
GERS apparently believed that they
had captured Andrea, who has
been most active in behalf of the
Mexican Liberals. Teresa, accord
ing to the letter, was released i'm
mediately when the mistake was
learned.

Kinley, Smith sold a $3.50 piano
for 5000 and a $3.50 one for a
correspondingly small price, then
escaped with the proceeds. The

ANOTHER JUMP
IN PRICE OF
EGGS

Eggs have taken another jump.
The fresh Washington ranch eggs
are now retailing at 55c at most
dealers, although some are selling
them slightly lower. The Eastern
and Oregon eggs remain about
the same.
The market is well supplied
with the more fancy vegetables.
Celery is now in the height of
the season. The quality of that
now coming in is excellent but
the price is still holding steady.
Cranberries of especially good
quality are on the market in
abundance. They are now selling
at the low figure of 10c a pound.
They will advance, however, be-
fore Thanksgiving time. -
Pumpkins and squash are COM
ing in steadily and selling cheap.
Corn is of rather poor quality and
little is being received.

important Peruvian Discoveries.

One of the most notable discoveries
regarding the early history Of Peru
has recently been made by Hewitt Myr-
ing, an English antiquarian, He col
lected 1000 specimens Of pottery and
weapons of the ancient Peruvians. Re-
mains and relics of the early inhabi-
tants OF Peru. which are said by
archaeologists to date from 1000 to
1000 B. c., were found by Mr.. Myr-
ing under an old Incas burying ground
when he was exploring in the noun
tains about 200 miles inland from Lii
ma. Each grave contained the remain
OF food and glazed clay jugs. The
most valuable portion of this discovery
of antiquities cosists of the great urns,
some of them six feet long and so
heavy that 1t required three men to
CARLY them. They were found buried
besides mummies, and the majority Of
them had the features of the dead man
or woman delicately carved either on
the upper part Of the urn or on a solid
stand beneath.

events. 1t is believed that he will
have no trouble in showing his heels
to most of the sprinters he will be
compelled to meet during the season.
The time on both the mile and the
half mile was slow but this was due
largely to the fact that it was neces-
sary for the runners TO take the out
side of the track all the way round
and that one side of the track was
rough. Boylen is considered an es-
pecially good man in the distances and
Is expected to take some firsts In every

ORGANIZES FARMERS
UNIONS IN IDAHO

Pullman. Wash.-A. A. Gilmore,
state organizer for the farmers union,
returned last night from Twin Falls,
Idaho. where he went to organize the
farmers. That country being out Of
Mr.. Elmores jurisdiction a special
commission was granted him by the
national association. Mr.. Elmore
said:
"The Twin Falls district was ripe
for organization and l started five
strong locals there and appointed a
county organizer who will probably
get a dozen or more locals. The or
der is growing everywhere and we are
In receipt OF requests for organizers.
Idaho shows deep interest in the
order and the prospects are that It
will have a state organization within
year"
II requires 5000 male members TO
get a state organization. Washington
and the Panhandle OF Idaho were
combined for state organization last
year. There are now $500 members
in eastern Washington and 1900 in
Nez Perce, Idaho; Latah and Koote-
mai counties. Idaho, making total OF
40 in this Jurisdiction when the last
report was received in March.

SCHOOL TRY-OUT
TEAM Is SELECTED FOR
BIG ATHLETIC MEET
Meet Held Yesterday on Frazer Race
Track to Select Men for Walla wal
La Meet-Eleven Men are Picked
for Team-Chester Gordon Proves
to be Star Man-Some Good Rec
ords Made.

Under rather untavorable conditions
the athletic squad Of the high school
had a try-out on the Frazier race
track yesterday afternoon to select the
II men who will represent the local
institution in the big meet to be held
at Walla Walla Friday and Saturday.
Despite the fact that a bad wind was
blowing and that the track was rough
some very good time was made.
From present indications, Chester
Gordon is to be the premier member
Of this years team, though Kimbrell.
Boylen, Davine and Storie are counted
on as sure winners. The other men,
bers Of the team are Bean, Fee, Chap
man, Engdall, RAIDER and Haw. Eng
dahl will probably not be able to make
the trip TO Walla Walla as he is a
member Of the debating team which
will probably have contest Of its
own in Pendleton that night.
Gordon is in good condition and
though the conditions were adverse
yesterday, he easily equalled his best

That Pendleton Is to get some free
advertising out OF the fights which
are to be waged by the railroad COM
panies in opposition to the recent
ruling of the interstate commerce
commission on the Spokane rate case
IS evident from the following Wash
ington special to the Portland Jour-
nal from John e. Lathrop.
The Union Pacific has officially
declared 1t will withdraw entirely
from the transportation of freight
from Chicago and St. Paul to Spo-
kane.
The system will have a hearing be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission Monday on the roads re-
quest that it be exempted from ap-
plication to the commissions order
in the Spokane rate case. The peti-
ton sets forth that the distance from
Chicago to Spokane via the Union
Pacific is approximately 1900 miles.
whereas via the Great Northern or
Northern Pacific It is 1900 miles and
that to obey the commissions order
in the Spokane case It would be un-
profitable because of the greater dis
tance and the physical conditions II
has to overcome via Pendleton to
= Spokane.
II is likely the Hartman lines will
be permitted TO be exempted as
