TROUBLE OVER BOUNTY.
New Oregon Law Is Misunderstood
in UmatilIa County.

Pendleton-From present indications
there is to be much trouble relative to
the payment of bounties on coyotes
when the new law goes into effect.
Though the new law does not operate
until May %, all coyotes killed since
February l are subject to bounty.
Hundreds of the destructive animals
have been killed in this county since
that date and the trouble is to come
from these scalps.
Copies of the law have been received
and it has been discovered for the first
time that all four feet, as we'll as the
scalp, must be attached to each hide,
and it is this provision that has been
disregarded by the killers. Though
hundreds Of hides are ready to be pre-
sented the day the law goes into effect,
it is not believed that more than score
of them have the claws attached.

All physicians agree that mirth and joy at meal time does much toward digestion. Mrth tingles the whole nervous organism of man. the cells wherein are stored val uable digestive juices, empty their con- tents under the nerve stimulation and pro- mote the highest degree of digestion.
 If gloom and discomfort prevail at table the reverse action obtains and meals become necessities, not anticipated joys.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are little storehouses of digestion which mix with the stomach juices, digest food, retingle the mucous membrane and its nerve cen ters, give to the blood great wealth of digestive fluids, promote digestion and stays by the stomach until all its duties are complete.
 If dyspepsia sits at tables it makes the dining room place of awe; these tablets should be taken after meals and dyspepsia of consequence fees.
 No need for diet or fasting. The dys- peptics who will use them religiousy will find no sense of nausea in the sight of generous meals or in the odor of rich cooking.

Three Ways to Go Abroad.

You have your choice as to just how pleasant your trip abroad will be. You can sink your identity and your tastes in one of the large tourist parties. You can go alone or with your own friends. Or you can join one of the small groups of congenial southern people, now being organized by MT. J. Howard Eager of Baltimore.
 The latter is the ideal way Each group will be limited to a few persons, all of whom will be required to furnish refer ences. A cultured conductor or chaperon will direct the tour. Each group will take leisurely. pleasant journey through interesting parts of Europe And there will be no hurry.
 To thoroughly enjoy travel one must proceed restfully and in comfort in the company of pleasant people. These tours are planned and executed with the aim of pleasing gentlemen and ladies of taste.
 The accommodations include only first class steamers and hotels. The cost is moderate and there are no annoying ''ex- tras.' A few vacancies are still open. For full information address The Eager Tours, 329 North Charles street, Baltimore, Md.

 ize that the great industries of this country are no longer ,infant industries in swaddling clothes. They have become giants in power and development; that in most of the industries they are pay ing the cost of transportation across the seas and competing on equal terms
 their foreign rivals in the markets of the Orient in South -.merica and in many cases actually in the European markets
 This being the case there is no reason that can be given to sustain a protective tariff. especially when it is written along prohibitive lines. The real justification for tariff can be only for the purpose of raising revenues to support the goy- ernment, adjusted on a basis that will fairly represent the difference in the cost abroad and at home if such exists and if not, at such a rate Ias will not pro- hibt importations and be competitive When his is done the tariff will cease to be a political issue and it will be ad- justed along business lines to improve business conditions, but long as 1t is maintained to protect monopoly and to pay political debts, it will continue to be a sore in the life of the nation.

 The new envelope is really two en- velopes. Each is of thin paper, one a pronounced blue and the other lighter in color and different in texture. Each has a gummed flap.
 The inside envelope in which the letter is placed is. of course, smaller than the outside envelope.
 Instead of sealing the inside envelope, after it is placed in the outer one, the inner flap is brought through to the out side and gummed down on the larger en- velope.
 The outer flap Is still unsealed. It is much larger than the inner flap and reaches down to a good-sized star shaped opening, so that when the outer flap is sealed it sticks not only to the outer en- velope but also through this opening to the inner one.
 The letter is thus practically locked and doubled.
