Tobacco and Tin Foil.

General Whitfield Scott was RESPONSE
Die for. tin foil being wrapped around
tobacco That fact came ont in the
legal contest over the will Of the &C.
centric millionaire tobacco dealer, John
Anderson. Early in the forties of the
last century Mr.. Anderson kept 4 pop
ular cigar store on Broadway. Felix
McClosky, for many years the tobac-
cOnist's Salaried companion and agent,
testified that one day, in 1919 he
thought, General Scott came into the
store and asked Anderson if he
couldn't devise some way Of keeping
tobacco so it would not be affected by
rye and changes in climates. Alder
son thought about 1t and shortly after
hit upon the plan Of wrapping cigars
and chewing tobacco In tin foil, there
by keeping the tobacco moist for
long time. His tin foil covers became
popular, and his preserved tobacco was
much in demand during the Mexican
war and the California geld rush
swelling his business to enormous pro.
portions and soon making him a multi
millionaire.

INTERESTING PRELUDE
AT METHODIST CHURCH

"a change in the national admin
istration, though it does not mean
the passing of the scepter of power
from one political party to another,
nor foreshadow a change in national
policies from the standpoint of pOliti-
cal platforms is nevertheless an event
of national importance and magnitude
and destined to exert a powerful in
fluence upon the national life, and
one of tremendous significance to ev-
cry section of the country, and to
every citizen" says DR.. r. B. Ford,
pastor of the Methodist church. "All
roads lead TO Washington, and all
eyes will be turned toward the capital
OF the nation next Thursday when
Theodore Roosevelt will lay off, and

PEOPLE WILL DECIDE
NORMAL SCHOOL QUESTION
WILL BE LEFT TO VOTE
Member of Board of Regents Thinks
Weston and Monmouth Institutions
Should Be Maintained and Is In
Favor of Submitting Proposition to
Voters at Next General Election.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 26.-Though the
normal school problem is definitely
settled for the time being by the ac-
tiOn Of the normal school board Of re-
gents taken Wednesday in declaring
that the board cannot justifiably au-
thorize the expenditure of state mon
ey for the maintenance of the schools
in view of the legislative attitude to-
ward the institutions, still 1t is be-
lieved the question is not yet entirely
disposed of.
An intimation Of the manner OF
settlement was made by Regent W. B.
Aver Of Portland during the meeting
of the board. He said he believed the
people Of the state would favor the
establishment of two normal schools,
one in the eastern part of the state
and the other in the western part. He
said further he believed an act should
be submitted to the people at the
next election by initiative making pro-
vision for two normal schools,
This is a change Of faith IN Mr..
Aver, as at the regular meeting of the
board last June he expressed himself
as being unalterably opposed to more
than one normal school and he sub
mitted a minority report to the legis-
lature embracing the one normal
school idea. He said, too, that he be-
lieved the cheapest and best method
of securing two well equipped normal
schools would be to locate them at
Monmouth and Weston, while last
June he thought none of the present
SITES should be used for a normal
school.
In view of these sentiments it seems
likely the normal school question will
be settled definitely at the next gen.
eral election to be held in November.

Chamberlain formally resigned as

Benson was selected by the board to

LOCAL FRAT WILL
TRY To STICK
ALLEGED THAT 1T is
WITHOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Boys Say Their Chapter
VIII not Come Under the Ban
Placed Upon High School Fraternl-
ties by the Law Passed at the Re-
cent Session of Legislature.

The fraternity bill has passed and
the high school fraternitles in the state
have been voted out of existence
The local chapter Of the lambda
Sigma National fraternity however,
Will make an attempt to still keep in
existence, on the assertion that they
are not high school fraternity. The
Frat, until recently, has been strict
ly eastern and it is claimed that out
siders are initiated into the organi-
Zation and that it is only a social fra
ternity of young fellows without as
well as within the school,
If left to the discretion of the fac
ulty members Of the school the fra
ternity boys here will probably be
allowed to keep their charter as they
are in good standing with the teachers.
The boys on the hill have done some
very good work and each member
is in favor with the members of the
school board as well. The friends of
the fraternity agree that as long as
the boys have this organization they
have their own company and are not
apt to spend their time in the cigar
stores.
Instead they have their meetings at
each others homes and enjoying their
fun and having their amusement
away from corrupt influences. Par
ents Of the boys are also said to be
as enthusiastic for the fraternity as
the boys.
The idea that high school .rater-
nifty is a snobbish institution is laugh
ed at by the Pendleton boys AS for
snobbishness they claim that if a per-
son is a snob he is a snob anyway
and that is all there is to It, The fra
ternity as it now exists, they say,
stands for high ideals and to belong
to it a member must make good in
some particular.
The fraternity here is also said to
be held responsible for the conduct
of the members and if one Of the
skips classes the other MEM
bers are notified about it and the err
rant brother is required to make good
to the faculty

BUSINESS MEN WIN.
Exciting Basketball Contest Last
Evening at Commercial Gym.

The basketball team OF the Com
mercial club gymnasium hung the
skiddoo sign on the Pendleton Acad-
emy players last evening, the final
score being % TO 49, The game was
fast but exceedingly rough.
The audience was kept keyed up to
the highest point of interest from
the blowing Of the first whistle until
time was called. At no stage of the
contest was there more than a few
points difference and it was really
an undecided match up to the last
minute.
BY plucky guarding the youngsters
were able to keep their larger oppo-
nents from running up greater
score while every opportunity for try
at basket was converted into a goal.
The business men were not so sue
cessful at goal throwing Prof. Pot
ter gave satisfaction as referee.
