Many of the bouts were overtime.

minutes. Others went as high as twelve
minutes, and because two of them did
not go to fifteen minutes protests were
threatened.

third titles in the various classes are:

Awarded at Ills. Athletic Meet

FUSED over the manner i'm which the
maches were conducted and consider
able complaint was made over Smith
being forced back to third place after
having won a chance for first or second.
Men who failed to WIN I'm the prelim-
inaries were brought out to try for
third place in some of the classes, and
it was hard to keep track of them.
Milchewski and Lesher were forced
to the fifteen minute limit in their final
go for the 145- pound title, which was
finally won by the former. After the
matches were completed Olson threat
ened to protest Johnson's award of
third place in the 1856 pound division
because their bout went only twelve
minutes in stead of fifteen to a decis-
ion, and Ernst made similar COM
plant against Magnusen in the 1853
pound section, their bout going only six

GREAT english
Setter IS DEAD

Monmouth, ILL.,, Feb. 5.-"McKinley,'
champion English setter in America, is
dead. Affection Of the heart caused
his demise. He had been under the
care of physicians for several months
and no expense was spared by his
owners, but to no avail. He was
owned by Mark Yates and Charles
Perley Of this city.
He was considered by experts to be
the greatest English setter ever shown
in America, winning all the bench and
field prizes for which he ever competed
The champion was 10 years old
Mckinley was formerly owned by

\ THOROUGH

Hundreds of piles OF rubbish that
have been raked together during the
past two days in answer to the clean
up summons shows hat the people
of the city have responded Loyalty
to the call. 1t is to Pendleton's credit
that they have done 50. Furthermore
the result shows that some good work
has been done by the city officials
and by the ladies who have beer
named upon the cleanup committee.
Now it remains for the city to see
to the carting away Of the rubbish
and to the prosecution of those who
have failed to do their duty. Unless
the city does take after the negli-
gent ones the real benefit Of the cru
SADIE will be lost. 1t is from the dirt
that is left that the epidemics result
It is up to the city authorities to see
that there is none left.

So it's poverty that is the worst
enemy of the young girl, is it, Mrs.
Reformer?
1 don't agree with you.
l never saw a good girl driven to
do wrong by poverty in my life.
And if you will come to think it
over, neither did You,
BY loneliness? Yes.
BY u~nkindnoss at home? Yes.
BY vanity and a fondness for dress
Yes.
BY laziness and envy and a silly,
empty-headed desire for excitement?
Yes.
BY poverty, by hard work, by self
denial? Never in the wide, wide
world.
The best girls in the world are
working girls. You know they're
good girls, or they wouldn't be work
ing. And they are working because
they are good girls.
No woman who was ever worth the
saving ever threw herself away be-
cause she was poor. Any girl who
amounts to a row of pins in a paper
would kill herself before she would be
driven to any such way of getting out
of poverty.
She would scrub the stones in the
street for a living and hold her head
up with honest pride while she was
doing it, n it would never enter her
just to get a new dress or a Chante-
cler hat.
Good girls are made of different
material than that.
Can you make an honest man steal
because he wants a new tie or thinks
he ought to have a new hat?
You cannot An honest mar is borr
honest, and nothing but the most des.
perate need of some one he loves will
ever make him anything else but hon
est.
The poor girls who stumble and
walk in the crooked, dark paths thai
lead to misery do not deliberately
walk in hat path to get away from
poverty. They are called by stronger
voices than the voice of mere silly
vanity.
Dress, dress, dress-I get so sicl
of the very sound of the word some
times that 1 wish We could all be In
dams and dress in a blanket and b,
done with 1t.
What are you talking about to you
daughter, little mother-new clothes
yours and hers and the neighbors?
Isn't there something else in tn
world with which to fill that It'll
daughters head? Is it so importan
for her to know the very latest styles
or wouldn't it be better to keep he
busy enough so she wouldn't car
whether her dress was pink or blue a
long as it was clean and comfortable
And you, Mr.. Wise Man, who love
to laugh at the vanity of woman
to whom do you show the most atten
tion-the sweet, pretty, modest littl'
girl who thinks of something beside
her own looks or the Haunting hu
man paroquette who'd die If she di,
not have the very latest hat and tn
newest thing in spring dresses?
Vanity d cause for the ruin Of younI
girls? Yes. Poverty? Never.-An

is THIS WHY?

President Taft criticises the states
of the west and of the middle west
for not keeping their men in congress
for lengthy terms as do the eastern
states. 1t is a criticism that has often
been heard before and is worthy of
attention. Certainly the western
states lose out through sending so
many new men to Washington. A
new nan either in the house or IN
the senate has little prestige. The
longer he remains in congress the
better committee appointments he Sc.
cures and the bigger he becomes. He
grows by the work he has to do. This
should also make him bigger at home
and make his reelection easier each
succeeding term. Then why don't
western representatives and senators
Perhaps it is because public life does
not offer to western men the induce
ments that are to be found in COM
mercial n industrial lines. The
west is a land of opportunity. Men
OF ability are able to make money in
the west n advancement is COM
pa~ratively easy. Possibly this makes
them Indifferent to success in pub
lie life. At least this is a comfort
ing view from a western standpoint.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WIVES.

German concern to cultivate he
good graces of the American people
does not reach to the length of en-
couraging German diplomats to we'd
American wives. Third Secretary
Won Stumm, of the kaiser's Washing
ton embassy. having welded an Am
erican girl, there is much unofficial
protest in Berlin. Bismark laid down
the law hat only n German wife
could be accounted a safe wife for a
German diplomat and there is a curl
Gus revival of that sentiment. The
fact that Baron Won Sternburg, late
ambassador. in Washington. had a
charming American wife, n Incl
dentally was the despair of all the
other diplomats because Of his faculty
for getting what he wanted from the
state department, seems to have been
forgotten.-From Success Magazine.

KEEP UP STEAM.

The big helper engines on the
mountain division keep up steam even
when they are not at work. The idea
Is 10 have the engines in readiness for
service when needed. The call may
come suddenly and an engineer would
not like to be caught with a cold
boiler.
Now it so happens that the bulk
Of the business men Of this city are
i've ones. They usually have up a
full head Of steam and whether there
is much to DO or not they are ready
for action. They are enterprislng
and aggressive. To those men PEN
dleton owes its reputation for being
a busting, prosperous towns.
But there are some few business
men in Pendleton who do not carry
enough steam TO haul a handcar on
a down grade. Because business In
their lines may be a trifle dull they
nope and moan. They don't work for
business. They won't even adver-
tse. They LET the whiskers grow upon
their faces and the cobwebs in their
show windows. When a customer en-
tiers one Of these places he has to
hunt up the proprietor or a clerk. II
he asks how business is he will be
told hat it is ION the bum" and that
the town is dead. He will leave such
ar establishment with the idea that
he has been in the House Of Misery.
It is a fact that Pendleton gets
some very bad advertising from just
Iuch people as his. IT is not right
either. 1t is not right at all tina,
the good, vigorous boosting work that
Is done by the hustlers Of the town
should be offset by this persistent
pessimistic gripping. Besides it only
Injuries the man who gripes. II &

think and talk constantly OF his all
ment. He should get out in the sun

THERE'LL BE SOME WORK.

Unless all signs fail the coming
summer will be the busiest from a
construction standpoint thai UNA
tilla county has experienced in many
years. The work. on the o. R. & N.
line changes between Yoakum and
Pendleton alone will be an enormous
task. The work includes practically
the rebuilding of the main line road
bed for a distance of II miles. 1t is
a greater undertaking than was the
construction of the Umatilla Central
and the cost to the company will be
greater.
Then the big cut off from Coyote to
Echo or TO Stanfield will also be
made. This will involve almost as
much work as will the Yoakum-Pen-
dleton line changes. The construc.
ton work the o. r. & y. company is
To do will unquestionably help greatly
in stimulating business in Pendletor
and in all other towns in this portion
of the county.
Aside from the railroad construc-
ton work the big dam and reservoir
at Horseshoe curve is to be finished
by the Furnish ditch company. Many
men will be needed for that work
There will also be much other work
IN the irrigation section.
1t looks like a busy season in the
