rs REGISTER At
DOWN TOWN BOOTH

The Innovation of having voters
registration booth open on Main
street in the evening, proved entirely
satisfactory at the first trial. The
booth was opened Saturday evening at
5 o'clock in front of the st. George
restaurant and kept open as long as
there was any demand for it, with
the result that 75 names were added
to the list of registered voters.
The booth will be opened at the
same place and at the same hour this
evening and it is expected that fully
as many more voters will avail them
selves of the opportunity offered to get
their names on the books. A sign
will probably be provided by this
evening and this is expected to assist
Clerk Sailing and Deputy Sutherland
in their efforts to secure full and
complet registration of all voters in
the county.
But a few days remain of the time
for registration and all voters who ex-
pect to avail themselves of the right
of suffrage cannot afford to delay
much longer.

but though millions of bushels of
wheat were stored in its great bins
during the years of its activity. the
bins have remained empty for several
years. This has been due to the fact
that the two local mills have secured
all the wheat tributary to Pendleton,
making it necessary to ship wheat in
to town instead of out.
Several days will be required to
complete the work of destruction for
the reason that the bins are built OF
2x6 boards nailed one on top Of the
other and the task of tearing them
apart will be a gigantic one. It is
estimated that car load Of nails were
used in the construction OF the build
ing.

GERMANY is BUILDING
LEVIATHAN STEAMSHIP

Berlin.-The kaiser Is dee-lighted
at the idea that Germany is to regain
the supremacy of the Atlantic with
the gigantic new liner now building
for the Hamburg-American line.
His majesty's visit to Hamburg was
postponed by the injury to his knee
but he listened to an illustrated lee
ture given at President Ballin's house
on the details Of the new German le-
viathan.
She will be 10 feet longer than the
Mauretania, and six feet deeper and
wider. Her tonnage will be $1,000
nearly twice that of the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria, the present monster of
the Hamburg fleet. The new liners
speed will be 22 knots, generated by
turbine engines.
When the kaiser heard all these
facts, and saw the lantern slides
showing the designs for the monster
liner, he clapped his nands like a
child, exclaiming, "Good, we shall
have the lead again."

Come. boys!" said Tom Lawson.

Each man knew what he meant,

With revolyers tightly clenched,
and stern, set faces, they followed

winding path; and. as If in unison
with man s wrath. dark, hurrying
clouds overspread the sky; the low,
distant rumble of thunder was heard.
and it was evident that one OF Cali

hand.
As they neared the cave the dog
could be seen, his eyes cleaning. his
lips drawn back from his sharp. white
teeth, as with low. angry growls he
guarded his masters murderer; and
inside, outlined against the black
ness, the Parson stood at bay. his
eyes flashing. his thin face flushed
and wearing desperate, defiant look.
The wretch knew that he had
played his game and-lost; knew
what fate he must expect at the hands
of the angry miners. who would form
vigilance committee and judge him
in their own quick. decisive way.
A few PAGES from the cave they
halted. and Tom Lawson said, in a
tone Of command

his fate in suilen despair.
He looked at the little striI Of blue
sky that remained unelouded-at the
black, inky billows that were sweep

guarded him-at the stern faces of
his judges. and at the yawning abyss,
where, thousand feet below, his vic

Away to the left lightning flashed
fncessantly. and the thunder was a
continual iarring roar, seeming to
shake the mountain to its foundation.
Evidently the coming storm was no
ordinary one.

The wretch folded his arms and an

OF what use was it to say anything
for himself? There was nothing to

the foot of the precinice lay his vic
