the East Oregonian hf his candidacy
Mr.. Maloney declared that he had
been reluctant to enter the race for
the jndReship. He regards tie posi-
tion as one involving muoh work and
responsibility and little remuneration.
However he feels that in Justice to
the friends who have supported him
in the past he should aocede to their
their wishes and make the race.
So he will do SO and if nominated by
the democrats, of which there can Ee
no question, he will go before the
people for their endorsement in No
vember.
For many years J. W. Maloney has
been resident of Umatilla county
and there are few m ZEN who are more
widely known and popular. He for.
merly lived in Athena aud while

served for two terms in that office
and with much credit. At the close
of his second term he entered the
Pendleton savings tank as assistant
cashier and later became cashier.

the American National be was. made
vice president. Since his resignation
from the bank be has been devoting
his time to farming on the reservation.
For many years Mr.. Maloney has
been prominent In Knights Of Pythias
circles. He lie past grand chancellor
of Oregon and is now the grand mas

come a candidate for county commits.
sioner. He has lived in Umatills
county long numter of years, and
ie an active. energetic, practical man.
He lives near Freewater, tut former
ly lived on Butter creek where he
owns large ranch. 1t took a great
deal of persuasion to- induce him to
become q candidate. In the case OF
Mr.. Saylor and J. W. Maloney, the
Offices are seeking the men, instead of
the men seeking the offices. Neither
had any desire to run, but their
friends. knowing the splendid quail
ifications Of each. finally persuaded
them to Daoome candidates. With
these Two men in office, Umatilla
county will have county court with
which to be highly pleased. and the
taxpayers will have no just cause for
complaint"

II Was the Gem Of the Wedding Gifts
He Assured the Bride.

He Assured the Bride.
Bored, unspeakably bored, he found
himself In the room where the gifts
were displayed. But then he might
as well be here as any place else, he
argued. for everything connected with
q wedding was bore. His gaze wan
dered listlessly over the collection of
silver, meat forks, cut glass berry bowls
and onyx clocks till 1t fell on faded
little old Japanese print almost hidden
behind a hideous chafng dish that
looked as If 1t might have been hand
ed down by the cliff dwellers.
In another moment he was before
1t, tingling with excitement. the spirit
of the collector rampant.
IAN Utamaro, sure as you're alive"
he exclaimed. looking about for some
one with whom TO share his joy. Any
body would do, so he tapped stranger
on the shoulder and announced with
the air of reporting the discovery of
diamond mine, Its an Utamaro. the
real thing"
"a what?' asked the man. adjusting
his glasses.
ut is By Utamaro, the master of
japanese artists" he answered as he
fed in search of his wife. She would
understand ITO think of wasting At
on those donkeys who won't know it
from signboardr he grumbled.
He found her shaking hands with
the bride. so he rushed up and rung
the girls hand enthusiastically. Il
have just been admiring that peachy
Utamaro!' he exclaimed excitedly.
"a peachy Utamaro! What's that|
asked the bride, mystifed.
'That rare old Japanese print up
there. It's the gem of your whole lay
out"
"Ohp' exclaimed the bride family,
looking little queer, so he thought.
as she turned to greet another guest.
AS his wife dragged him away he
demanded to know what the dickens
was the matter with that Utamaro.
1T was our present to them," she
moaned. II didn't dare tell you. You
would have wanted 1t for your collec-
tion. Los Angeles Times.

RARE DISEASE CAUSES DEATH
After Ten Years Affliction, Mrs. Potts
Succumbs to Pellagra.

Mrs. J. T. Potts. sister of Lee Kirk,
mention of whose illness was recently
made in the Press. succumbad to that
rare disease, Pellagra, at Walla Walla
Saturday. Mrs. Potts has been a
sufferer for ten years. and her case
baffled physicians until she came nm
der the treatment of DR.. Sharp Of this
city, and Dr.. Suttner of Walla Walla,
some weeks ago.
DR.. Suttner had met with the dis
ease in the south and he was in DO
sition to diagnose the case when Mrs.
Potts entered the hospital for treat
ment. The patient was in the last
stages of the disease and little or
nothing could be done for her.
Pellagra is rare in this country,
most of the small number of cases
being reported from the southern
states. 1t is commonly encountered
in Spain and southern Italy. The dis
ease is said to be found usually In re-
gions where corn is raised and one
theory Of its cause is that the germ
comes from the eating of corn that
has undergone a peculiar chemical
change that leaves fungus growth.
and another theory is that il has a
distinct germ.
Pellagra is not hereditary nor con-
tagious but 1t is said tAat people
afflicted with 1t cannot live. Phys
ioians Of Walla Walla are agreed that
the disease was pellagra and are sup
ported by the state medical board to
whom diagnosis of the case was sent.
Mrs. Potts was a native Of Oregon,
born at Brownsville SO years ago. She
spent most of her life In Umatilla
county. but travelled over large part
of the United States. 1t is thought
her disease was contracted during her
travels. A few weeks ago when her
condition became very serious she was
taken from the HodRson farm near this
city, to Walla Walla.

NALLA WALLA CROPS REDUCED
Estimate Is Based Upon Reductions in
Grain Insurance.

From indications given through the
reductions IN crop insurance, it is be-
coming apparent at Walla Walla that
the wheat crop shrinkage will be
greater this year than ssual. and the
4,00O, 900 bushels first estimated will
be reduced by something like 100000
bushels.
Each year the farmer estimates bis
growing crop and insures it on the
basis of his estimates. Later. having
actually placed the grain in bags and
counted them, be usually proceeds to
his insurance agent and has reduc-
tion made. The reports now coming
in TO the agency of the farmers union
on this Insurance. reduction show that
tLis season the ranchers made some
poor guesses. One section alone. Eur
eka Flat. came out ahead of first es-
Inmates. All the hill land is poorer
than at first supposed.
Fl. H. Mclean, president of the
farmers union. seems to have made
the most accurate estimate of any one.
Sometime ago he hazarded the opin-
ion that taking last years crop, which
was 4,021, 900 bushels. as normal
crop. this years yield would be 70
per cent, crop. The insurance estimates
tend to confirm this now.
The present estimates, gathered gen.
orally from the agency of the union
place the crop. which is now practic-
ally all in the sacks, st about S,500,-
900 bushels.
The grain makes up in quality for
what it may lack in quantity. 1t is
extra heavy many samples going to so

The Grasshopper Weather vane Perch.
ed Atop Faneuil Hall.
Perched on the cupola Of Faneuil

which is not only one Of the oldest
vanes in the country, but is famous
as the product of one Of Americas
earliest woodcarvers and artisans,
Shem browne Of Boston.
Brownies shop was on Ann street in
the north end.
OF the many vanes be made only
three are now known to be in ex-
istence-the one on the Shepard Me-
mortal church In Cambridge, which
formerly was on the steeple Of the
New Brick church on Hanover street
in this city and known as the revenge
vane; the one in the collection of the
Massachusetts Historical society, rel
ic Of the old Boston province house,
and the one on Faneuil hall.
This grasshopper Of copper, hammer
ed out by hand, has large CLASSY eyes,
which in the sunlight shine like fire.
1t was made in 1742 at the order Of
Peter Faneuil when the hall, his gift
to the town. was nearing completion.
1t has not, however, lived life Of
unbroken peace. for several times 1t
has been near destruction. In 1855,
when Boston was shaken by an earth
quake, the vane fell to the ground, but
after being supplied with new leg by
the son of the man who made 1t 1t was
replaced.
Five years later Faneuil hall was
seriously damaged by fire, but the
vane remained intact, and when the
hall was rebuilt the grasshopper was
once more given the place of honor.
Another disaster befell it when in
1889 a flag was being raised to cele-
brate the anniversary of the eyacua-
ton of the city by the British. The hop
per hoped to the street below. But

For several months the local lodge,
l. O. O. F., has been planning and
working to land the State Odd Fellows
home close to Arvada.
On Thursday night, a week ago, the
wires from Cripple Creek announced
that the Grand Lodge had decided on
the Arvada location.
The place chosen is the G. A. Highly
forty ACRE ranch which is not quite one
half mile north of town. A more de-
lightfnl place it would be hard to find.
1t is high ground with a gentle south
scope, every inch under irrigation and
a good water right. There is a fine
orchard so that they will not have to
wait years for shade and fruit and the
most of the land is in alfalfa, which
when ploughed under makes a rich soil
