One Conductor Helped Back to Work.

Mr.. Wilford Adams is his name,
and he writes: 81 was confined to my

two bottles of Foley's Kidney remedy
with good effect. The third bottle put
me on my feet and | resumed work as
conductor on the Lexington, KY,

common. cney. G.shedrtened yellow
pup.
But the moods of a dog are not long
moods.
A diversion appears. A street arab
rolls ball along the sidewalk toward
another arab. Hi" says the pup to
himself here's something worth
while" With Haunting tail he bounds
after the ball. Every drop of his
sporty dog blood is atingle.
The arab beats the dog in the race
for the ball and rolls 1t back. In Il
jlffy the pup whirls and goes for it,
This is a touch of high life. He is no
longer a thing of the gutter-nobody's
dog. He is dog full of JOY.
The children of the school near by
are let loose. They stream down the
street. The pup leaves off leaping in
great curves after the ball and leaps
up to the children. He would lick
their faces in high friendship One Of
the midgets is frightened, and then
the cry goes up:
Mad dog. Mad dOg!'
The children flee. The pup barks
and jumps after them in great glee.
What fun for yellow pup. How
nice of the children to scamper so and
scream with delight!
Bang!
The policeman's wicked gun cracks
and Tommy's pup IS Of no more use

Oh, any old thing-the lesson OF

the Joyous soul Of good woman

of these or others.

Gompers Knew of Guilt,
Says Burns

ment that Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of Labor
knew almost from the beginning that
the McNamaras We're guilty of the
charges against them. In this con-
nection. the detective said with some
feeling:
When Mr. Gompers says he was
surprised and that the McNamaras
had deceived him in declaring their
innocence, he tells what is not true
Mr.. Gompers knew that the McNa-
maras were guilty and has known il
all along. He knew it at the time he
and the heads of the international
unionc conferred in this city on the
question of raising funds for the de-
Tense of the prisoners. Some of the
other union men knew of their guilt,
too. Clarence S. Darrow told the la
Dor men at that meeting at Indian
apolis that he did not believe that |
had done any planting of dynamite.
Darrow knew that / did not frame up
this case and told them so.
Mr.. Gompers knew all the time
that the prisoners were guilty"

MayoraIy and Proposed Commission Plan Of
Municipal Government Being Decided Today
BETTING AT EVEN MONEY ON TWO CANDIDATES
General Outlook for Adoption of Commission Charter is
Very FavOrabIe-Wam Race for Water Commissioner
---Winner Will Get Small Majority.

Not in many years has a city cleo
ton in Pendleton been attended with
so much interest as that which is oc-
cupying the attention of the voters
today. All day the streets have pre-
sented busy scene and the polling
booths have been thronged from the
hour when they were opened.
The principal interest is centering
on the mayoralty race between w. F.
Matlock and ]. r. Raley and, what
ever the outcome. many thousands of
dollars will change hands. Betting
has been free for the past two weeks,
wagers as low as fifteen cents and as
high as $4,000 having been made, and
today those who love games of
chance are more than usually active.
Most of the bets which have been
laid on the result have been at even
money. as neither candidate is a gem
eral favorte.
Much Confidence Manifest.
Both sides are extremely confident
and it is believed the victory, which
ever way it goes will carry with it
only small margin of votes. Up un-
I'll noon today there was probably
more Matlock money in sight but to-
day Raley hackers appeared with
large sums and covered every bit of
money in sight.
Many Sworn In.
The voting has been unusually
heavy for a municipal election and
t is predicted that almost a miXimum
vote will be cast before the day is
over. Though many neglected to reg
izter, great numbers have been sworn
i'm under the direction of lieutenants
of either side and more votes had
been cast at noon than there were reg
istered voters. In the second ward
there were but 1872 voters registered
but at 1890. 175 had cast their bal
lots.
The Matlock hackers have a man
stationed in each booth for the pur-
pose of challenging votes and. in con-
sequence many ballots have gone in
to the boxes marked "challenged.'
Commission Form Will Carry.
1t is freely predicted on the streets
that the initiative measure for the
adoption of the commission form of
government will carry by substan-
tial majority and interest in this is
secondary to the mayoralty fight.
\ race of considerable Importance
to the city is that being made between
viii Moore and James Johns for wa
ter commissioner as its outcome will
determine whether or not the present
plans for furnishing Pendleton with

HONOR MEMORY OF DEPARTED BRETHREN

Awoke one night from a deep dream
OF peace;
And saw, within the moonlight in his
room
Making it rich, and like lily in
bloom,
An angel, writing in a book of gold:
Exceeding peace had made Ben Ad-
hem bold,
And to the presence in the room he
said,
What writest thou?" The vision
raised its head.
And with a look made of all sweet
accord,
Answered THE names of those who
love the Lord"
And is mine one?" said Abou. NAY,
not So"
Replied the angel. Abou spake more
slow.
But cheerilly still; and said. 81 pray
thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fell
low men,
The angel wrote and vanished. The
next night
It came again with great awaken
ing light,
And showed the names whom love of
God had blest,
And 10! Ben Adhem's name led all

West Extension.

That it would cost s22,OO0,OOO to
that it is not a feasible scheme at
this time is the statement of E. G.
Hopson, engineer III charge of the re-
clamation work in the northwest Civ
en- to the Oregon Journal Sunday. In
his statement Mr.. Hopson also de-
clares that settlers along streams this
side of Butter creek need not worry
for fear of losing their rights, nor
need the settlers on the Meadows fear
they will not be paid for land that
may be taken from them for reser-
vcir purposes.
Following is Mr.. Hopson's state
ment in detail:
Engineer Kopson's Outline.
THE plan which the department
has had under consideration and
which is known as the west extension
of the Umatilla project provides for
building a reservoir on the Umatilla
river not far from the point where
Butter creek joins the Umatilla. The
purpose of the reservoir is to hold
back the flood flow of the river
which otherwise would run to waste
into the sea. as it does today. There
is no other reservoir site on the
Umatilla river that can fulfill this
purpose. The United States has dur
inr several years made very careful
investigations to find out whether
there is another practical way to use
this waste water but none appears.
1T should be clearly understood
that the waste flood waters of the
Umatilla river cannot be used by any
other means than by storing it in a
reservoir so that it will be ready for
use on the lands during the hot, dry
months. The Umatilla river ordinar-
lily has a very small flow of water
except during the spring months
when the SHOWS are melting in the
muntains on its watershed or when
copious rains occur therein. At such
times the river rapidly rises ana
flows in such great quantities that
sometimes destructive floods occur.

washed away, houses destroyed and

snapped Fredericks.
Have you any evidence against
Darrow, for bribery?"

opinion that Los Angeles is getting
