of employing it, as many writer's do,

BETTER WAIT AWHILE.

Louis Winter. resident of the Free
water country for "a years, does not
want to see Umatilla county divided.
Though he lives near the state line
and is as far as anyone from Pendle-
ton he would not sign the petition
calling for a vote on "Orchard"
county.
In the county division scheme Mr..
Winters sees nothing good for farm
ers like himself. 1t is a scheme that
may benefit Milton but for the Mil
tcn-Freewater farmers it merely
means higher taxes. SO he wants none
of it.
Nor is Mr. Winters the only man
UP there who opposes division. The
East Oregonian knows of many who
share his views. Some of those men
are very prominent and have been
prominent for years in that section.
Why not withhold the county di-
vision move until the people up there
become more unanimous in their de-
sire for division?

CONCLUSIVE PROOF.

certain captain in the army was
summoned by his colonel to answer a
charge of assault preferred against
him by sentry who had stated that
the officer had used him pretty roughz
ly one evening at the gate of the bar
racks.
humorous phase of the affair was
that the officer apparently had no
recollection of the alleged assault. The
sentry had made so bold as to declare
that the officer was intoxicated
Among those questioned was the
captains orderly, an Irishman. who
protested vigorously that the alega-
ton of the sentry was slander-that
he was sure the captain was perfectly
sober the evening of the alleged as
Sault
why are you so sure that Captain
Blank was sober that EVENING"" he
was asked, Did he speak to you
upon his return to his quarters ?"
"He did sir"
What did he say?"
He told me to be sure an call him
early in the mornin,' SIR"
And did the captain say why he
was to be called early?"
"Yis, sir, he did, sir. He said he
was goin' to be Queen O. the May, SIR
responded the orderly with convincing
gravity.

is provided. Here it may be remarked
that the big open air orchestra that
is to give the local concerts plays
music. 1t is one of the best organi-
cations of its kind in the state and
1t should become even more profici-

QUESTION OF FIGHT.
(Athena Press

(Athena Press
1t is a question whether the plan
to hold a mass meeting to discuss
county division, as proposed by Judge
Lowell and S. F. Wilson, would do
any material good, The proposition is
the same as it has been for twenty
years. Milton wants the county di-
vided and outside that locality no one
else does She comes seeking terri
tory that is unwilling to accede her
demands and always has been. She
has signally failed in the past to draw
Athena and Weston into her imaginary
boundary lines for new county and
she expects nothing but opposition
from them now, hence nothing could
be gained by-,her entering on public
discussions of selfish desires. Outside
of the MiltOn-Freewater district, the
divisionists are counting on support
from the state at large in their un-
just contention that Athena and West
on territory would be better served
in the confines of the proposed coun-
ty. Thus in the possibility of secur-
ing assistance by invoking the aid of
votes throughout the state, Milton di-
visionists are keen to override the
wishes of Athena and Weston and will
make a supreme effort to secure the
sufficient number of names required
to get her scheme to a vote. She has
selected her boundary lines and will
conduct her fight for them. She has
flung down the gauntlet and it is up
to omatilla county to provide meth
DDS of educating the voters of the
state as to the true status of the di-
vision question. The divisionists are
in the fight to stay and Athena and
Weston are radically opposed to be-
ing dragged into a division of terri
tory which would tuck an embryo
county seat four miles from the Wash
ington state line and perpetrate an
unjust burden of taxation.

"SUMNIERFALLOWING.v

At the Commercial club managers
luncheon yesterday, it was voted to
forego a fourth of July celebration
this year and to urge local people to
attend celebrations in the other towns
OF this county. For two years in sue
cession Pendleton has held celebra-
tons SO many business men feel It
will be well to let the other towns
entertain people this year Next year
Pendleton can pull off celebration
that will be real affair and we can
invite all Of eastern Oregon to come
here and hear the eagle scream.

BONDS-FOR ROADS.

Clark Wood, editor of the Weston
Leader, is firm in the belief that good
roads will never be provided until
the county is ready to bond itself In
order to build permanent highways.
He recommends that at the good
roads meeting to be held here May 81
this proposition be considered.
The state grange also favors this
bonding plan. At the annual gather
ing just held at Oregon City resolu-
ton was passed advising the con-
struction Of roads with money to be
raised from bond sales.
Why not discuss the bonding plan
az the coming good roads meeting?

low the lead of Oregon. Require leg
isiators to pledge themselves to elect
the peoples choice for senator, as
Oregon does under statement No. /.
This is the logical solution of the
problem. The plan has worked with
satisfaction here and it is going to
be retained despite the fact that state
ment No is displeasing to the old
time bosses and to ringsters who play
politics for what they can pick up and
not for the public interest.

FOLLOW OREGON.

Complaining of the usual method
% electing senator's in the United
States leading San Francisco paper
has the following:
Compared to the United States
Senate, the House of Lords of Eng
land is a popular body.
Under our system of choosing
members of the upper branch of Con-
gress. that body is farther removed
from the people than is the upper
chamber of the English Parliament.
Instead Of obeying public opinion,
the United States Senate has been
conducting itself on the theory that
its business is to defy the wishes of
the people.
The force of public opinion in
England was illustrated few days
ago when it compelled the House OF
Lords to pass the Lloyd George finan-
cial budget.
Even though the membership in
the House Of Lords is hereditary, or
by appointment Of the crown, a strong
Premier on several notable occasions
has succeeded in making that aristo-
cratic body mold its temper to the
popular will.
United States Senators, elected by
the various State Legislatures, are be.
yond the reach of the people. They
may defy public opinion and they may
block progressive legislation with i'm
punity. so long as the people have no
hand in their election"
But the United States senate may be
made a popular body. truly repre-

Peruna is not beverage nor bitters,

There is q great demand for tonics
during the depressing heat of summer,
and especially in countries where hot
weather is very prevalent.
Such demand is exactly met by

SLEEPING IN A SLEEPER.
A Few Suggestions for Young Man who
Does, Etc.


To the Young man who is planning
to pass night for the first time in a
sleeping ear, few general instructions
may be given.
For six months preceding your trip,
practice removing your clothing while
lying on your back on the aoor beneath
your bed. Also practice putting on the
various articles Of your wearing apparel
while standing on the back Of your head
and your heels. You will find this to
be not only splendid exercise, but also
very amusing, If you have well-deyel-
oped sense of hamor.
Try coaxing your shirt beneath your
waistband while you assume the shape

and heels digging into the carpet Ow-
