"pennsyn May Absorb N. & W.

Semi-official announcement has been
made that the Pennsylvania Railroad
would make an offer to purchase all OF
the outstanding common stock OF the
Norfolk and Western Railway Company
at 500 (par) per share, and would issue
in exchange a a per cent collateral trust
bond of the Pennsylvania Company, the
principal and interest of the said bond to
be guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road.
The action of the Pennsylvania to pur-
chase the absolute control of the Norfolk
and Western Railway, and make it part
of the system west of Pittsburg was largely
influenced by the desire to counteract the
influence on the bituminous industry
which is anticipated from the Virginia
Railway, the new soft coal road built by
H. H. Rogers.
It's stated that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has already practically acquired
safe majority, but in view of the plans un-
der consideration, which contemplate
making the Norfolk and Western part
OF the Pennsylvania Company, il is de-
sired to get in all the common stock pos
sible.
In railroad circles It's felt that the PENN
sylvania has accomplished a great coup
in getting control of the Norfolk and Wes-
tern, and the move puts an entirely new
aspect on the bituminous situation. Had
Mr.. Rogers been successful in getting the
Norfolk and Western, it is recognized
that he would have been a very danger
Gus free lance in the bitunlinous industry.
The geographical position OF the Norfolk
and Western in West Virginia would al
ford very easy connection for Mr.. Rog-
ers' new Virginia Railway, and at the same
time give the road an outlet at both Gin
cinnati and Columbus on the west, and at
Hagerstown on the north. With the lat
ter, and the possession OF the Western
Maryland, which is for sale, Mr.. Rogers
would have still another valuable tide
water terminal at Baltimore.
In 1900 the Pennsylvania purchased
SC, 246,0OO of the $66,OOO,0O0 of common
stock, and $3,246,0OO of the $23,OOO,OOO
preferred stock of the Norfolk & Western,
thereby obtaining minority representa-
ton on the board. This purchase was
made at the same time large interests were
acquired in the Chesapeake & Ohio and
Baltimore & Ohio. The holdings OF the
two latter companies have since been
sold, and it is understood that the profits
made from these sales are to be invested
in the purchase of the full control OF the
Norfolk and Western.

What Auntie Would do.

Once, at a dinner at which DR.. Emil
Reich was present, the conversation
turned on marriage.
"That was wise saying of the old
Greek philosopher, said some one,
whether you marry her or not you will
regret it,
EYES," answered DR.. Reich. at re-
minds me of a certain old maid, who once
said something almost as good as that.
'Auntie, said her little neice to her, what
would you do if you had your life to live
over again?'
"To which the lonely spinster quickly
replied:
"Get married, my child, before ! had
sense enough to decide to be an old
maid"

Farmers Fight for Insect-eating Birds.

Farmers Fight for Insect-eating Birds.
Opposed solely by designing band OF
Broadway feather dealers, the farming
forces of this country are today fighting a
desperate battle for law which will fully
protect the wild birds that they know can
alone save their crops from insect pests.
Headed by the National Association OF
Audubon Societies and the State Grange
with a membership of 5000 working
farmers, every agricultural interest in
New York State is lined up to demand
such measures TO prevent the butchery OF
the inSect-eating and non-game birds as
have begun to benefit the farm lands OF
Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Louisi-
ana, South Carolina and West Virginia.
Unless the professional traders in the
scalps of these slaughtered songsters are
now made to respect the economic value
of their prey, it is declared, the orchardists
and agriculturiSts Of the whole country
will soon suffer by the increase of every
form of insect plague.
Declaring that the valuable bird re-
sources of the whole American people
are at stake on the principle of this battle
of the New York farmers against the COM
mercial feather hunters, Clifford Pinchot,
head of the National Conservation Com
mission, has come out in strong support
of the proposed legislation.
Half of the daily food of the crow black
bird alone is made up of the insect pests
that destroy the crops it has been proven
by expert examination Of 2,250 stomachs
of these wild birds, the results OF which
are being submitted to the Legislature OF
New York by DR.. T. S. Palmer OF the
government department OF Agriculture.
With others of the non-game species that
it is proposed to protect, these birds have
been shown to be the only effective check
to the plague of Brown Tail and Gypsy
moths which is sweeping over the coun-
try from the New England States, where
$1,000, 900 has already been spent in vain
attempts to curb its devastation of the
crops and woods With the insect-eating
birds it is also planned to shield the
Snowy Owl which is known to consume
the hordes OF meadow mice whose dep
relations have cost the orchardistS OF the
country millions of dollars.
"This battle for the proper protection
of the insect-eating birds will have its
effect upon the whole country" said VIII
liam butcher, president of the National
Association of Audubon Societies. "More
than 81 ,0OO,O 900 has been proven by
the government to have been lost to the
farmers of this land last year through the
depredations OF insect pests. We want
to determine if this vast loss to the nation
is not to be considered rather than the
selfish interests of the few dealers in the
plumage of the very birds that destroy
these insects. II is high time for the
farmers, orchardists, ranchmen and plant
ers OF this country to assert themselves
in this matter as the agricultlrists are
doing in this State. We feel that we can
count on the support of every patriotic
American to help us save the valuable
bird resources"

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
When writing mention reading this gen.
erous offer in this paper. Don't make
any mistake, but remember the name,
Swamp Root, and don't let dealer sell
you something In place of Swamp Root
Il You do you win be disappointed.

One Of the members OF the State Legis-
lature in the south was man who had
lived farmers life most of the time until
he was elected, and his wife, having never
seen a railroad train and having no wish
to test one, refused to accompany her hus-
band to the capital.
When the legislator reached his desti-
nation he found that almost all the other
members were accompanied by their
wives, and he sent an imperative message
to his brother to fetch Jane along"
The brother telegraphed:
"She is afraid even to look at the en-
gine."
After bordering over the message for a
while the legislator sent the following
command:
"Blindfold Jane and back her on the
train"

RAIDER FURNITURE
STORE TO Be SOLD

The RAIDER furniture store, the larg-
est in the state outside of Portland, is
to change hands, January l, 1910.
This was the announcement made by
NJ. A. RAIDER, the present proprietor,
this morning. He would not state
however who the new proprietor is
to be and it is understood that his
name is not to be given out for some
time.
Before the sale can be consummat-
ed, the stock of the big store must be
reduced fully one-half and it is for
that reason that the present proprie-
tor will remain in possession until the
first Of the year. After that he is
not certain what he will do, but after
having been in business steadily for
-C years, nc proposes to take a good
long vacation, for one thing
Mr.. RAIDER engaged in the furniture
business in this city, just nine years
ago, the fourteenth of next August,
when he purchased the store Of Will
liam Nelson. The business was much
smaller then than it is now but it has
been gradually built up until the
combination of furniture, carpets and
undertaking, is by far the largest in
eastern Oregon. Counting the base
ment which is used as a store room,
the store occupies 10000 square feet
Of floor space This speaks something
for the industry Of the proprietor as
well as for Pendleton and its ada
cent territory.

FROM CAMP
ANNUAL EVENT PROVES
MOST SUCCESSFUL IN YEARS
Camp Benson on the Clackamas, II
Miles from Portland, Proves An
Ideal Camping Ground - Target
Range Near the Camp Is Used
sham Battle Held Yesterday.

Company L, under command Of
Captain Smythe and Lieutenants
Drake and Bailey, returned this
morning from Camp Benson, where
they had been for the week. The an
nual encampment of the o. n. G..
this year was the most successful in
every way to the entire third regi-
ment and especially so to Co. L.
Camp Benson, as the encampment
was called in honor of Governor F.
W. Benson, was located about IL
miles from Portland, near Clacka-
mas station and about a mile from
the Clackamas river. The place was
ideal for the camp, there being plen-
ty of woods and everything that could
be desired. About half a mile dis
tant there. was hill that resembled
in many respects, Tillamook head. The
entire setting for the camp is de-
clared, by the returning soldier boys,
to have been beautiful. The camp
was also we'll cared for, which added
to the pleasure of the officers and en-
listed men.
The site of the camp was at the
target range which is now being fit
ted up for the joint use of the state
and federal troops and when COM
pleted it will be one of the best in
the country.
Company L left Pendleton last
Sunday evening. The boys went into
camp Immediately upon their arrival
and soon were drilling like regulars.
Many favorable comments were re-
ceived from the regimental officers as
well as by the officers stationed there,
upon the splendid showing made.
All IL companies comprising the
third infantry were encamped, as
we'll as the regimental band, hospital
corps and staff. Company G of the
First Infantry, under command Of
Captain King and two machine guns,
in charge Of Lieutenant Davis Of the
First Infantry participated in the
camp and maneuvers. Other officers
