Wool Bed Blankets,
Special

A new western blanket mill
recently made us some very
interesting prices in the hope of
introducing their goods here.
We were "chock full'' of blank
cts but we simply couldn't re-
slst one case each of two
numbers and these have lust
been received.
We have priced these at So. 80
and S4.9S per pair, and when
you consider that these blank
cts are strictly all wool you
will agree with us that they
are the greatest values ever
offered. 80
AT $500 per pair. All wool,
both warp and filling-11.4 size
weigh Al lbs. per pair-blue
and white, pink and white, tan
and white, gray and white,
fancy plaids and plain grays.
AT 1898 per pair. All wool
and much finer stock. Weigh
Al lbs. per pair, Ia size-in
all sorts of pretty plaids.
We have just opened this
seasons first shipment of Toys,
and these are now being shown
on our first floor, south side.
This line is very much larger
than we have heretofore shown,
and contains many novelties
new to 1911, that will be picked
up by early buyers.
Now is good time to make
your selections-not only is the
stock new, fresh and complete,
but you may take your time,
you'll not have to hurry now as
you certainly will a little later.

Not Forgetting
the Children

Sometimes this is the hardest
of all to choose-something
that will become the little tot
and still be practical.
Not all designers of garments
are able to get into the spirit
OF it and create things that
belong to the child-world.
When we find garments such
as these, which appeal both to
the little folks fancy and the
mothers judgemnt-then we
know they are the right sort.
We have one particular style
in mind that is just the little
maids kind. Warm and COW
and comfy and all trimmed up
with gilt buttons to make it
twinkle. In red it's a picture.
But it's lovely in several other
colors as we'll.
On a Sunday she's all dressed
up in it. And then it's just the
thing, too, for the merry little
play-day girl.
Prices $3.9S to SIS.
So, from the little maid up
to her grandmother, we intelli-
gently supply everything need
ed in outer garments. And the
same satisfying quality and
style characterize all.
Ask to see the new Suffolk
coat for the little maids older
sisters.

San Diego, Cal. Aug. 2S.-An incl
dent that might have resulted in in
ternational complications, and that
also showed that much political tur-
mol still exists in Mexico, occurred at
Fla Juana, Mexico, when three auto
mobiles of the Premier ~ocean-to-
ocean caravan were stopped and fore
ed to beat hasty retreat to Ameri-
can soil.
The cars included the celebrated
prairie schooner that created a SEN
satlon from coast to coast, the famous
Premier No. 1, winner of the Glidden
tour, in charge of Ray Mcnamara,
the Gi1dden tour pilot, and the Pro-
mier transcontinental car in. which A
l.. Westgard, of the Automobile Club
of America and United States govern
ment, crossed the continent several
moths ago. The Mexicans were nat
urally suspicious of the prairie
schooner, which was indeed an un-
Auual appearing craft, completely COW
cred with placards and showing many
signs of wear and tear, following it's
transcontinental journey.
Also exciting the ire Of the Mexicans
was the fact that the American cars
carried big United States flags, the
biggest of which had been presented
to the ocean-to-ocean tourists by Pres
ident Taft in Washington. Citizens
Mexican and Tia Juana flags, but their
wrath was not appeased. Prior to
entering that city all three cars were
rigidly examined by custom officials,
but the populace gave signs of wish
ing to investigate further on it's own
behalf, The women In the party were
greatly frightened and fmplored the
drivers of the cars to get them safely
back across the border. This was
done, but not without a great deal of
diplomacy. The visitors were care
full to do nothing to excite further the
suspicious of the inf1ammatory ma
tives. Mexican soldiers and citizens
surrounded the motor cars and for
time the situation appeared serious,
particularly in view of the fact that
the crowd contained several agitators
The Americans gained the distinc-
ton of being the first to carry the
Am erfcan flag on Mexican soil, fol-
lowing the late revolution but the
experience was one they do not care
to repeat. The flags had adorned the
cars on the entire transcontinental
trip and they were carried innocentIy.
AT Tia Juana the speedmeters showed
the transcontinental cars had covered
5,037 $40 miles since leaving Atlantic
City.

HONEST MEDICINES
VERSUS FAKES.

President Taft's recent message
suggesting an amendment to the Pure
Food and Drugs law in. its relation to
Prepared Medicines, does not refer to
such standard medicines as Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound and Foley
Kidney PILLS, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of in
gradients whose medicinal qualities
are recognized by the medical pro-
fession itself as the best known rem
edia1 agents for the diseases they are
intended to counteract For over three
decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound has been a standard remedy
for coughs, colds and affections Of
the throat, chest and lungs for chill
dren and for grown persons, and it
retains today its pre-eminence above
all other preparations of it's kind. Fo-
ley Kidney Pills are equally effective
and meritorfous. F. B. Brill and Cur

roads legislation.
The farmers of Oregon do not want
any cross state highways, 1t was fear
OF such a highway that produced
three fourths the opposition to the
good roads bills. At least this was
true in eastern Oregon. II took weeks
If educational work to offset that
silly talk of a state highway and to
convince people this no bill for such
a highway had been introduced in
the legislature.
When oregon enters upon a good
roads campaign the first should
be to build permanent roads leading
into the principal market places In
the various counties. The roads should
be built for business, not for pleas
ure. Build roads where they are
needed and viii be needed perma-
nently. After such roads have been
built there will be no need of a cross
state highway. There will be good
roads leading from Vancouver to Cal
iurnia and the construction of a
pleasure highway will not be neces-
sary.
II Portland autoists think the peo-
pie of this state are going to build a
cross state highway for their benefit
they are chasing rainbows. More
than that they are interfering with the
progress of the good roads movement

liars out of those who supported the
good roads bills while they were be-
fore the legislature.

WHY MORAL PLAYS APPEAL.

The theater-going public may be
safely left to itself in the matter Of
deciding the sort of play which shall
survive for their entertainment. When
all has been said, the salacious pro-
duction more often than not is sent
to the storehouse, while the producer
recoups himself from his losses
through some clean play which has
stood the test year after year.
Evidence is at hand in plenty to
show that disaster has been encoun-
tered by every manager who has ca
tered to an alleged taste for highly
colored presentations, while the big
gest boxoffice records have been
achieved by such plays as 1.-THE Man
from Home" 1.-THE Old Homestead"
Way Down East" n 1.-THE Chris
tian."
Two theaters in New York City
were compelled to close prematurely
last season, because, having gained
a temporary vogue with girl" plays,
they could find no responsive public
for any kind of offering. They had
established a reputation for salacious
works, and their patrons turned else
where for their theatrical bill of fare
rather than avail themselves of the
atmosphere of which they had been
surfeited.
New York has fifty theaters Of the
first class; yet the two greatest sue
cesses artistically and financially are
plays absolutely pure in scope n
rendition. These are 1.-THE Concert"
at the Belasco; and "Rebecca of sun
nybrook Farm" also at a Belasco the
alter; while but a few doors west 1.-THE
Country Boy" a comedy as as wno,e-
some as 1t is amusing, has drawn out
the standing Room Only" sign from
the cellar OF the Liberty theater for
the first time in years.
No better illustration Of the trend
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-03-03

Electrically can be given than a re-
view of the caree of Al H. Woods.
Last year. he produced only plays
which appealed to the tenderloin ele-
ment. He found the patronage uncer-
tain ven for most successful of the
lot ("The Girl from Rector's'). This
season Mr.. Woods is making a for
tune with a third interest in a clean
musical comedy ("Madame Sherry").
while THE Girl in the Taxi" has
broken boxoffice records, in several
instances. The latter is a straight
comedy without music, and Is now
drawing the best people to the Aston
theater.
Mr.. Woods. however, has two other
productions in the city: one, New
York" goes to the storehouse at the
end of the week in which these lines
are written, because the public would
not respond to its ~vulgarity; but
and here We have the best evidence
of all-Mr. Woods has just opened the
Garden theater, a house that has been
closed for a year, and was supposed
to be out of the beaten track, with a
beautiful play with a good moral I'M
dertone, entitled THE Rosary" and,
to the amazement of his colleagues. is
actually making a profit, with an ex-
IRENE likelihood that this play will
bring the Garden heater out of it's
longtime slumber.-Robert Grau in
March L~ippincott's.

GET VALUE RECEIVED.

When\ the county worked a road
near Fulton last year men n teams
were sent out from Pendleton to do
the work. They would leave here at
S o'clock in the morning and make
the drive of eight miles before begin
ing work. They would work a short
time, then eat lunch, work a while
during the afternoon and then drive
back to Pendleton. This sort of an
arrangement was carried on for three
weeks, according to the statement Of
a prominent and reliable farmer who
lives at Fulton.
This story explains in part why
Umatilla county has expended thous-
ands of dollars on road work every
year but has gotten little in return.
How can the county expect good re-
suits when such a system as this is
followed? 1t is not a businesslike
way of doing work. No railroad
would ever do construction work on
such a basis as that. No farmer could
afford to do his threshing hat way.
l. he did he would soon be in bank
ruptcy.
Umatilla county's affairs should be
administered in a businesslike way
just as are the affairs of any private
individual or corporation. The mem
bers of the court are the business
managers of the county and it is up
to them to get this county a dollars
worth of work whenever they spend
a dollar. They cannot do this By do
ing work as it was done at Fulton last
year. Nor can they give the county
the best results if the members of
the court supervise the road work
themselves and devote their time to
riding around on o. r. & y passenger
trains.

THE WAR,

Our establishment at Vaucluse now
consisted of the dear n beneficent
lady, its head, and her two widowed
daughters with their children (six of
the latter, off and on) together with
an endless procession, coming and
going, of aunts and cousins who stay
ed as long as they found it convenient
and agreeable. Now the Connection"
as it was called, embraced a surpris-
ing number of people with the same
blood in their veins, and habit had
made it law hat m one included
in this brotherhood should be sacro-
sanct and free of all the house could
offer as entailed upon hospitality. So
the old white stucco dwelling, with
its wings right n left under the
great oak trees of it's lawns, went on
stretching to receive guests, the sta
BILE took in their horses. the servants
building a little way from the panry
wing received their attendants, and
nobody ventured to think anybody
was ever inconvenienced!
The two daughters Of the house, my
mother and my aunt, Mrs. Hyde, tool
care between them of the ~housekeep-
ing. Our %ervants were hired black
people, good and faithful souls, but
thank heaven, not slaves Of ours. My
grandfather Fairfax had been the
first gentleman in Virginia to manu-
nit his slaves, had each of them
taught a trade, and the efficient ones
sent to Liberia at his expense. The
latter part of his Humanitarian
scheme was, needless to say, no sue
cess, most of them writing imploring
letters to odd Marse' to take them
back again.
There was no farm attached to the
place, only gardens, a c~hicken-yard,
orchard and dairy, from which the
table was supplied with country dain-
ties. In the rooms were assembled
the flotsam Of family furnishings, ac-
cumulated from other homes n Eng
land and Virginia-Towlstwon, Bel
void and Ashgrove. We had on the
walls a few interesting old Fairfax
portraits, a Percy, Earl of North
~uberland," a Parliamentary Cen
eral," ladies with busks carrying long
feathers in their hands, Roundheads
and Cavaliers; and in the secretary,
