\ SWIFT RUNAWAY.
(Pilot Rock Record.)


Bob Smith was chief actor in an ac-
cident Monday evening which result
ed in breaking of a carriage tongue
and the injury of one of team of
horses which ran away with him He
accompanied Paul Sperry to the home
ranch of Perry Houser on Birch
creek in the afternoon, and he drove
the team back. When he reached
town he was coming at a good clip
along Main street and turned too soon
in front of the Pilot Rock Mercantile
company store. The tongue made a
center shot in the telephone pole. one
horse on either side The wheels of
progress stopped short, not to go
again for several minutes. Damage
is roughly estimated at 800. The
team was from NJ. X Tbompson's
livery.

sLANDERING PENDLEToN.

In Walla Walla a red hot fight is
being waged over the liquor question
and as usual some workers are re-
sorting to gross eXaggeration in order
to win votes, Pendeton is suffering
particular injustice at the hands of
the saloonmen. They are now display
ing pictures purporting to'represent
vacant business locations in this
city. According to reports saloonmen
assert there are now 25 vacant busi-
ness locations in this city. This is a
rank untruth and it may easily be
shown as such. A count of the empty
locations in the business section will
show that there are but nine or ten
instead of 25. Several of these were
vacant before Pendleton went dry. In
the list of locations classed by the
Walla Walla saloonmen as vacant ap-
pear several locations that have been
used here for years by mercantile es-
Establishments and are so used now.
other street locations given as vacant
do not exist at all
1t is not the desire of the East Ore
gonian to participate in the Walla
Walla election. That is a matter for
the people of Walla Walla. Nor does
- ;e - ,oor ,,.;.b 90 o1Daor os o1o;r,ipo
that the closing of the saloons here
did not make empty business loca-
tons 1t was inevitable that the wip-
ing out of 2S saloons at one full swoop
would result in some vacant locations.
The point the East Oregonian wish
es to make is that in spite of the radl-
cal step that was taken Pendleton is
still prospering. 1t is still the busiest
little city of its size in the northwest
and almost every day people are heard
to say that in proportion to its size
Pendleton is a far buster and livlier
town than Walla Walla. Only a day
or two ago family moved to this
city from Walla Walla. The husband
anticipated that he would have no
trouble finding a good house in which
to live because he had heard at Walla
Walla that prohibition had "killed
Pendleton." Yet he found that the
dwelling houses in this city are well
filled He had much trouble finding
a desirable empty house.
If the voters of Walla Walla do
right they will give little heed to the
claims the saloonmen are making
with respects to this city. Saloonmen
always like to slander town that has
gone dry and usually their statements
a dry town need to be
heavily discounted. In the present in
stance the claim of the Walla Walla
saloon forces needs to be shaved about
- per cent.

\ TWO FACED GODDESS?

Jmatila county men who secured
some cheap government land have
been subjected to fines aggregating
over $4,000 and now very honor
able and respected man, Douglas
Belts. is being sued for $4,000 by
the government on the allegation that
he secured land by fraudulent means.
Perhaps the government is right in
this matter. This paper does not wish
to appear as condoning lawlesness
by good men, bad men, rich men or
poor men.
But it is indeed singular that the
government should be SO precise and
so scrupulous with reference to the
local cases in view of the attitude of
the administration regarding the AL
aska coal cases and some other cases.
It seems plain that the Cunningham
claimants tried to acquire" property
that will be worth millions of dollars.
Yet those men seem to have had not
only the support of the interior de-
partment but in a measure of the
president himself. CLAWS who made
courageous attempt to lock the
plans of the Cunningham people was
ousted from office in disgrace. The
government is also acting very consid-
erately toward the sugar truse which
is charged with having stolen several
millions. The government has never
taken criminal action against the
Standard oil company or other male
factor of great wealth" who have done
wrong.
Does the United States government
have one set Of legal scales for east
ern oregon ranchers and another for
millionaire law breakers? Has Justice
become a Janus-faced goddess that
frowns upon certain men and smiles
on others who do the same thing up
on a larger scale?

SOME PECULIAR VOTING.
(Weston Leader.)


1t would be interesting to know the
thought processes of the round dozen
taxpayers who voted against the
bonding ordinance. 1t would be an in
suit to their intelligence to suppose
that they did not know that the new
bonds were for the purpose of re-
funding other bonds now matured.
The fact has been sufficiently adver-
tised. and a special election was held
few months ago TO float the new is
sue. Not single vote was cast
against the measure at that time, out
of some so ballots, but the election
was declared illegal for the reason
that the bonds should have been sub
mitted to a regular and not a special
election, and for the further reason
that voting was not confined to tax
payers
We wonder also If the fourteen tax
payers who voted against the eight
mill levy are buoyed up by the hope
that the town can exist on prunes.
prisms and persimmons, garnished
with the entrails of balloons. Had
this measure failed to carry. the town
would have been without revenue. ex-
cept from the waterworks Nor an en-
tire year With its scrip already de-
preciated because of the low rate of
interest it bears, this would have been
an edfying condition, indeed. The
town slid along for years with five
mill levy on a low valuation-a tax
so inadequate as to be almost farcial,
ia "a
mill tax on a high valuation. 1t has
eaten its cake and the baker demands
payment.

movement. The special tax levy for

GUARDING THE FOOD SUPPLY

In this age of division of labor a
vast responsibility rests upon those
whose duty it is to protect the food
supply of the nation. Manufactured
foodstuffs are now used as never be-
fore. 1t is inevitable that this situ-
alton will continue. The day is past
when each family lived upon the
game the husband could kill and the
few crops he could raise. The ten
dency now is towards specialization.
The world can never go back to the
old conditions.
It is the duty of the department Of
agriculture to stand between the pub
lie and manufacturers who prepare
foodstuffs for the market. The gov
ernment maintains a corps of able
chemists and other specialists to see
that manufacturers do right by the
public by providing only wholesome
products. It is big task.
One of the most interesting ques-
tions the department chemists have
worked upon in recent years is that
relating to the use of preservatives
and especially benzoate of soda in to-
mato ketchup. 1t is generally conced-
ed that benzoate of soda is harmful IL
used in any considerable quantity
rrrt-
ing the "embalmed beef" for our SOL
diers in Cuba. However the use Of
that preservative in ketchup has been
allowed on condition that the guam
tity used be specified upon the ketch-
UP bottles.
However in his annual report Sec
rotary Wilson had the following: "Ex-
periments in the preparation of to-
mato ketchup showed that by giving
the ketchup greater concentration
than is now the commercial practice,
increasing the vinegar slightly and
sterilizing completely by means Of
heat, the best possible conditions for
it's keeping after being opened in the
household will be permitted"
This paragraph of the secretary's
report has set the foes of benzoate Of
soda to renewed activity in their ef-
forts to prevent the use of that pre-
seryative. They assert that since ideal
ketchup may be made without the use
Of a preservative benzoate of soda
should not be used. 1t is claimed that
the manufacturers wish to use ben
xoate of soda simply because by so
doing they can utilize factory waste
products and turn out an inferior
xetchup which will keep.
AS far as this one controversy Is
concerned 1t is not of great moment.
People can exist without tomato
I.tcbup. However the principle in
vo,ved is of decided Importance. 1t
has 10 do with the extent the govern
rnent will allow commercial interests
20 20 in the use of preservatives. The
,,hl,c interest demands that manufac-
.,,rers of ketchup and all other food
.tuffs properly safeguard the health
,h.ir customers. We need a stiff

A pretty home wedding took place
at the residence of Mrs. Margaret
Oates in Black Hawk yesterday at
high noon when her daughter, Geor-
gina, was united in marriage to Mr..
Frank Tabb. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Mr.. Eitlegeorge
beneath beautiful canopy of smilax
and white carnations. At precisely 12
o'clock the bride and groom, pre-
ceded by little Eta Eatwell as ring
bearer and Master James Furz, took
their position beneath the large floral
arrangement, accompanied by Miss
Olga Crook, bridesmaid, and Mr..
James Tabb, groomsman. The ring
ceremony, with the floral surround
ings, was carried out most beauti-
fully. The bride looked charming in
an elegant gown of white satin, car
rying a bouquet of white roses.
Following the ceremony the bridal

plants.
Mr.. Tabb and bride left on yester-
day afternoons train for Denver for
visit of few days. They will re-
turn to Black Hawk to reside in the
Tabb house in the lower part of the
city. The house is neatly furnished
and will be made additionally attrac.
tive by the numerous presents re-
ceived from friends of the bride and
groom.
Both parties to the above nuptials
are too well known in the county to
need an extended introduction. Mrs
Tabb is a Gilpin county belle and
was born in Nevadaville. She is a
favorite with the social set of her
home town. The groom is a most
worthy and estimable gentleman. AL

Genealogical Service Report.

April was stormy, and the current
snowfall has more than offset the
run-off. Melting thus far has been
confined almost exclusively to sunny
slopes and the parks of moderate ele.
vation. At higher attitudes the eff.
feet of such high temperatures as
have prevailed has been to settle the
snow. For the mountain sSea of Col
orado as whole the amount of
snow is the greatest in many years,
far exceeding that at the close of
tt. memorable winter of 1889. For
that reason the great depth was
confined to comparatively small
area near the center of the state. The
effect of the cold spring being to
retard melting, it is evident with the
coming of long warm spell the
streams of the state will be taxed to
carry the large volume of water.
Ditch owners and others interested
along the streams should be alert to
avert damage.
