ut is nv opinion that tie livestock

This is the sentiment expressed by
Charles J. Jones, president of the
Farmer Mutual Sto,k Insurance COM
pany OF Spokane, which went out Of
business recently.
"We held a meeting of the trustees
Oct. |, 1908 and accepted no new bus
mess after that date, and very few
days later closed the doors, there not
being enough money coming in to pay
the rent and the Office expenses. y
states President Jones, telling of the
dissolution OF the company. "The
last month the company was in Eek
istence the officers paid the rent and
clerk hire out Of their own pockets.
"The books will show that 65 per
cent of all money ever received went
to pay losses. 1t takes 25 per cent tb

only 10 per cent Of the entire Office

Mayor Plamondon says that when
arrangements were made to start the

Walker thought the figure high. The

Labor was from 80. 80 per day for

FALLING HORSE KILLS RIDER
Josh Clark .of Albee Meets Violent
Death Sunday.

Josh Clark. the well known hotel
keeper at Albee, was killed Sunday
afternoon through having his horse
fall with him while he was hunting
on Bear creek. The animal fell upon
the slippery ground and crushed the
life out of his rider instantly.
In phone message to the East Ore
gonian Ford Wright, who was with
Clark at the time. told of how the ac-
cident occurred.
Clark. in. company with Wright.
and boy named Knapp, was hunting
on Bear creek. AT the time of the ac-
cident they were riding up very
rough canyon, young Knapp riding
with CLARK, while Wright was some
distance in the rear. When Wright
reached the spot Clark was dead.
Owing to the rough nature Of the
country where the accident occurred it
was difficult matter to take CLARK 8
body out of the canyon. Seven men
were secured to help in getting the
body and they did not reach the An
drews sawmill. but three miles distant
until 4 O'Clock Monday morning.
Clark was killed at 2 O'Clock Sunday
afternoon.
News of the accident was received at
Pendleton and oasket was sent from
there to Albee. where the interment
was held. No inquest was held by
Coroner Folsom, as the accounts re-
ceived showed that death was plainly
due to an accident.
Josh CLARK, the dead man, was about
so or 63 years CT age and had lived
at Albee for 10 or 15 years. He
leaves wife and eight children. He
was the proprietor of the little hotel
at Alice and was widely known among
the people Of that section.

Issues Favored by David Taylor An

pipes of the gravity water system are

of turning it on private property
where 1t causes damage each year.

The interview took place in the
agents Office at the 0. R. & N. depot.
and Mr.. Taylor, looking out of the
window. across his famous "calf pas
ture". further emphatically stated
that he would not Support candi-
dates who favored the opening of Cur
rent Street.
/ Conversation among the men present
drifted to municipal government in a
general way. and if the reporter had
had can with him, he could have
caught enough "dope'' to lubricate
forty city elections. There certainly
was no dearth of issues. They hudded
and blossomed and showed signs Of
prolific frnitage.
One of the bunch Of live ones that
was advanced may find its way into
the coming campaign. i. g., the licens-
ing Of pleasure resorts in Athena,
where near beer is sold. The fact
that Pendleton and other places have
originated ordinances. compelling the
owners of near beer emporiums to pay
license money into the city Golfers.
leads to the opinion that the issue will
receive support here.
The question Of removing signs. trees
and all distinctions on Main street is
interesting the public mind to some
extent, and undoubtedly the new
Mayor and council will be given op-
portunity to act upon the matter.
