A PENDLET0N MAN
SUES OSWALD WEST

Governor-elect Oswald West, At
torney Turner Oliver and George H.
Curry former editor Of the La Grande
Observer, are defendants in a s25, 900
libel suit installed by F. w. Gaines
of this city. The suit was filed in the
circuit court at La Grande by Baker
City attorney.
Gaines is the man who has been try
ing for two years or more to get the
farmers of eastern Oregon to sign
contracts with him whereby he was
to be given big commissions for Sc
curing reductions in freight rates on
wheat When the farmers of UNA
tilla, Morrow and Gillian counties
turned down his scheme he went to
Union county and was apparently
meeting with better success when Os-
wald West, as secretary Of the rail-
road commission, wrote to Attorney
Oliver and advised him to warn the
people Of Union county against sign
ing the contracts.
1t Is this letter, published in the
Observer about year ago, upon
which Gaines bases his suit for defa-
nation of character and loss Of bus
iness.

OBITUARY.
OF Frank b. Lacy, Who Died in Free
water, November IA.

Fred Bingham Lacy, aged twenty
eight years, two months and ten
days, died November Il in Freewater
at the home of Mrs. ]. j. Morrison.
Mr.. Lacy was a son of former
Judge o. P. Lacy and Mrs Lacy of
Walla Walla. He was born in that
city, being a graduate of the Walla
Walla high school. He was we'll
known a few years ago as the captain
Of the Walla Walla high school ca
diets and received much commenda-
ton for the high degree of efficiency
to which he raised that corps. He
afterward spent a year at Pullman
and year at the University of
Washington.
Mr.. Lacy has been in Indifferent
health for some time, but his death
was undoubtedly fastened by the sad
circumstance of his wife's death,
which occurred in Walla Walla two
weeks ago
Mrs. Lacy was formerly Miss Ethel
Wiseman, a native daughter of that
place. They leave little daughter
Dorothy Dee Lacy.
Mr.. Lacy is survived by his mother
Mrs. o. P. Lacy of Seattle; two sis
| ters, Mrs Nathan Evans of Pendle-
ton, and Miss Stella Lacy of Seattle
and brother, w. L. Lacy of Gibbon

SCHOOL ELECTION
Especial Correspondence

Stanfield, Oregon, November 16.
A school election is being held
in this place today for the purpose
Of voting bonds in the sum
Of $4,000 to erect a new building.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the matter and 1t Is believed general
ly that the bonds will be voted with
out much opposition.
Water Flows in Ditch.
Water was turned into the Furnish
ditch Monday and Is now flowing un-
der sufficient head to supply all needs
of the town and the project. The
river has now reached such a stage
that a continuous flow Of water is as
sured from the river until the reser-
voir at Coe is completed. With the
reservoir in operation a continuous
flow Of water will be assured for the
project during the entire year. This
was not possible without the reser-
voir.
Work on the big dam at Coe Is
progressing rapidly and the contrac-
tors expect to turn the project over as
completed within a few weeks.

RECORD YEAR FOR
SHIPPING OF SHEEP
GREATEST IN HISTORY OF
COUNRY SAYS M'CLURE
Chief OF Bureau of Animal Industry
in Northwest Indicates Sheepmcn
Are Generally Dissatisfied With
Conditions.

This has been the greatest sheep
shipping year the country has ever
seen" declared DR.. s W. Mcclure,
chief of the bureau of animal indus
try, this afternoon.
million more sneep have been
shipped out Of Montana this year
than during any previous season and
about the same number have been
shipped from Wyoming in addition to
the usual number, according to DR..
Mcclure.
These are two of the principal
sheep states Of the union and the fact
that the growers of these states are
going out OF the business entirely or
cutting down the size of the flocks,
shows that the dissatisfaction with
present conditions in the wool and
sheep industry is not confined to
Oregon, Washington and the other
far western states.
DR.. Mcclure attributes the extraor-
dinary shipping activities to the un-
rest caused by the unsettled condition
of the tariff and tariff agitation. He
does not look to see the industry
placed on a stable basis until the tar

LOCAL BOWLERS TO
MEET WALLA WALLA
CONTEST SCHEDULED IN
GARDEN CITY TONIGHT
VIII Be First Championship Match of
Season-Walla Walla Pin Artists
Confident of Victory.

Pendleton's bowling team consist
ing of Book, or Gibson, Molitor. Nc
Dewitt, Noel and Hoover go to Walla
Walla this evening for the first
championship bowling match between
these two ancient rivals. Though the
local bowlers have only recently re-
sumed the sport for the season they
have hopes of duplicating their splen-
did record of last year.
The following concerning the game
is taken from the Walla Walla Union:
Final arrangements have been made
for the big match game between the
cream of the ten-pin artists of this
city and the aggregation of fast bowl
ers from Pendleton, which will be
held on the La Vie alleys tonight at
s o'clock sharp.
Last year Walla Walla won three
Il and Pendleton three games each and
this year Captain Holman expects to
turn the tables on the webfooters by
| defeating them every time. Walla
! Walla certainly has some first class
bowlers this year, BreeZer of Spokane,
Bard of New York, and Conklin of
Cleveland, are three as good bowlers
rs can be found and have had lots of
experience in match games; with the
| consistent work of Captain Holman
and McAlister the other member of
the team Walla Walla will be well
| taken care of.
Manager Lankard of the alleys
stated last night that the local team
would average 10, while he thought
that Pendleton would average about
the same, but would be Handicapped
a little in being on strange alleys
With Bard rolling high score last
week of 224 and Breezer following
close with PA, some estimate can b,
made of the ability of these two men
The team is in fine shape and expects
to win.
Pendleton has some fine men also
and Captain Holman stated that al
though he was sure of winning. h,
did not expect any cinch.

Bad Day for Beans.

Those who have read the accounts
of the recent alteration between the
rooters of the University OF Oregon
and Oregon Agricultural college have
noticed an account of the injury to
Harold Bean, son Of Judge r. s. Bean
of Portland, and there has been some
speculation as to whether or not the
Bean referred to was Hawley Bean,
son Of Judge H. ]. Bean Of Pendle-
| ton, who is a freshman at oregon this
year 1t Is a singular coincidence
that there should be two II. Beans at
the university, both of whom are sons
Of judges, but such is the case and the
| injured Bean is the one from the me-
tropolis. However the Pendleton
| Bean did figure in the melee and
might have suffered a worse fate than
his fellow student Of the same name
| had not some older Oregon men hap
pened along and convinced him that
J discretion is the better part Of valor
and that "he who fights and runs
away will live to fight another day"
The following account of his part in
the fray was contained in University
of Oregon dispatch in the Oregonian
yesterday:
Another Bean boy, Hawley ]. Bean,
son Of H. ]. Bean, supreme judge
elect, Of Pendleton, narrowly escaped
severe pummeling. When he re-
sisted the attempt to steal his green
cap, it is said that more than 100 OF
the Corvallis crowd lodged him up
against a wall and were about to beat
him into submission, when Arthur NJ
| caor,, 90 Medford and RalDh MOOree
and curtis Coleman of Salem, arrived
and literally dragged the defiant Ore
gon student to place Of safety
They hurried him through the
rooms Of the Occidental Hotel and out
back door through the kitchen, fol-
lowed by the entire Corvallis mob.

OLD Sores
DUE TO DISEASED BLOOD

Every symptom of an old sore sug-
gests diseased blood. The inhamma-
ton, discharge, discolored flesh, and
the fact that local applications have
no permanent effect toward healing
the ulcer, shows that deep down in
the system there is morbid cause for
the sore. But more convincing proof
that bad blood is the cause for these
places is furnished by the fact that
even removing the sore or ulcer by
surgical operation does not cure; they
always return. Nature will heal any
sore if the blood is pure aud healthy,
but until the circulation is cleansed
Of all impure matter and supplied
with nourishing and plasmic qualities
the infected condition of flesh is
OBLIGED to remain. S. S. S. heals
