N.ATERIALIZING.

Until now Pendleton's federal build
ing has been more or less thing
of the air-a mirage so to speak. We
have seen it afar and at times we
have thought we were drawing very
near to it but each time it has van
ished like the magic places of the
desert.
But when the government gets so
faI along with a building proposition
that bids for construction work are
asked for and are secured and the
lowest bidder is announced as the
winner then people have a right to
sit up and take notice The thing is
then beyond the prospective stage
To be sure the government has not
yet made a building contract with
Welch Bros. But as the bid was evil
dently accompanied by a certified
check insuring the fulfillment of the
contract if awarded the Portland
firm there should be no chance for
delinquency on the part of the build
ers. That the government will be
ready to proceed with its part of the
deal seems assured by the fact that
bids were solicited.
Should the federal building be err
eoted under the terms of the bid OF
Welch Bros, the government will
have a $4,000 structure with $4,000
remaining with which to pay for the
site and for the furnishings. AS the
site was purchased at a low figure by
far the greater part Of this $4,000
will be for furniture and equipment.
Eighteen months from now Pen
d.eton should have an up-to-date fed
eral building large enough to accom-
modate our post office and all feder-
a: business and equipped well enough
TO fully sustain the prestige of Uncle
sam among the people Of eastern
Oregon.

Hon. Emmett Cavett continues
to receive many urgings to enter
the race for lieutenant governor.
The members Of the supreme court
of Mississippi, and many promi-
nent citizens Of Jackson as well as
from other parts of the state, all
encourage him to make the race.
Mr.. Cavett is eminently qualified
to fill the position with honor and
credit, and in our opinion, would
stand excellent chances to be elect
ed. It would be a fitting honor
to a distinguished son Of Noxubee.
He is undecided, though it is be-
lieved that he will be content to
represent the county in the legis-
lature.

ment takes place more slowly. At

soon commences to deposit her
eggs, thus completing the life cy-
Gle in eight to ten weeks in sum

1t is noted by the above history
that the tick remains on the host
from three to five weeks during
the summer; therefore by thor

Life History of the Cattle Ticks.

In explaining the interesting
and important life history of this
tick, we will start at the point
where the fully developed and fer
tilted female being engorged with
blood and ready to deposit her
eggs, loOsens her hold and drops
to the ground, where she may lie
quietly for several days before de
posting her eggs, which consumes
from 4 to 8 days in the summer
or two weeks, or ever longer in
the fall. The number of eggs de
posted by a fully developed fe-
male varies from 1900 to 5000, or
even mOr After laying is finish
ed, the female perishes, having
fulfilled her mission. The eggs are
Of a light brown color and waXy
in appearance, which proceed to
develop the larvae or seed ticks.
The time required varies from 13
days to 6 weeks, depending on the
conditions of the temperature,
moisture, soil, etc. These eggs are
very tenacious of life, and under
unfavorable conditions many re-
main dormant for several months
from late fall until early spring.
The larvae or seed ticks are
minute six legged parasites of a
brown waXey color, and about 1-32
of an inch in size. They are very
active and crawl about on the
ground and leaves, punching about
in large numbers on grass blades,
shrubs, weeds, etc., seeking an Op-
pertunity to fasten themselves to
their hosts, cattle and horses.
They may, however, cling to the
clothing of man, or to some of the
dOmesticated OF wild animals other
than the ones enumerated above,
but as they r not their natural
hosts, the larvae Will not remain
or develop there. In case no cat
tie Or horses + present, the para
sitism is so perfect that no further
development occurs and death fl
nally results. 1t is known, how
ever, that these larval forms can
live for 3 or 4 months on the
ground in warm weather indie
pendent of their host and from
late September until April during
an open winter; though when they
find cattle, they crawl up the legs
and attach themselves mostly to
the soft skin inside the thighs and
TANKS, on the eScutcheOn, along
the belly and brisket, around the |
root Of the tail and inside the
forelegs. They obtain their nour-
ishment by drawing blood from
the host, and although so small
that they can scarcely be detected
by the naked eye, they are capa-
bic bf producing the fever at this
stage. After being on the animal
for II week the seed tick casts its .

Memorial Day Observed.

The fftieth anniversary of the birth
of the Confederacy was fittlngiy OBJ
served in Macon through the efforts of
the Walter Barker Chapter of the Uni
ted Daughters of the Confederacy.
This devoted band of noble women show
ed again the patriotism that preserves
the noblest traditions of the south and
their love for the men who wore the
gray.
The first exercises were at the opera
house, and despite the most disagree
able weather, a good audience was
present. Rev. Mr.. Gladney opened the
proceedings with a prayer. Hon. En-
met Cavett, the orator Of the day, was
introduced by the president of the
chapter, Mrs. L. F. Holberg, and made
a magnificent address.
After thanking the ladies for the
honor shown him in selecting him to
make the address, Mr.. Cavett pald a
loving tribute to Hon. Walter Barker,
whose name the chapter bears. He was
his life long friend, and IS gallant a
soldier as ever wore the gray. AS a
citizen in time of peace and as a friend
and comrade, he always exhibited the
finest qualities. Coming home from the
war, he DEVOTED his life to his mother
and sisters. Mr.. Cavett thanked the
daughters in the name of the people
and the >6fdrseldiers for the monument
lately erected to Mr.. Barker, which was
to have been dedicated that day, and
for the monument to the soldiers Of
the ~Confederacy in the court yard. He
read a letter from Capt. J. R. Prince,
himself a most gallant soldier, enlo-
giving Mr.. Barker. Duty was ever his
w~atchword.
The army of northern Virginia and
the immortal Lee, the Eleventh Missis-
sippi Regiment, of which the Noxubee
Rifles was a part, were subjects of Mr..
Cavett's encomiums. The private SOL
diers of the Confederate army were the
finest body of men that ever bore arms.
The courage and virtue of the rank and
file was the admiration of the world.
Mr.. Cavett's speech was largely in
the reminiscent vein. He spoke by
name of many of the individual soldiers
of this county and related personal in
cidents in which they figured.
Gen. Longstreet's army career and
his greatness as a soldier and command
er was atheme upon whicd the speaker
grew eloquent.
Of the Confederate soldier he said
that duty was ever their watchword
even when hope was gone.
At the close of the speech Rev. Mr..
Howe offered up prayer.
The NoXubee Rifles, IN uniform, were
present in the audience. The assembly
then adjourned to the court house yard,
where the ladies placed flowers around
the base of the Confederate monument
and the Rifles fired three salvoes in
military salute.
The officers of the Walter Barker
Chapter, U. D. c., are: Mrs. l.. F. |
Hokberg, president; Mrs. A. D. Binion,
secretary. /
The committee having charge of the |
proceedings was composed of the above
and Mrs. T: W. Brame and Misses Au-
gHsta Klaus aHa Ahbis Woodward.

TO BATTLE
IN OWN INTERESTS
Beet Sugar Men Will Combat
Propaganda on Behalf of
Free Sugar.

chicago. November 16.-Beet sugar
manufacturers in session here to-day
formulated plans to combat the propo-
ganda in the interest of free sugar
alleged to be carried on by the cane
sugar renners and the New York i'm
porting interests.
The beet sugar men say they pro-
duce annually 100000 tons Of sugar
and draw raw material from sixteen
States, extending from Ohio to Cali
fornia. and pay the American farmer
SSO.000,000 annually therefor They
contend that by putting raw sugar
on the free list the domestic Industry
would be destroyed and all competi-
ton thereby ellmina ted, and that
thereafter the importers and rehpers
would have complets monopoly
c. G. Hamlin, of Colorado. chairman,
characterized the publicity attributed
to the refiners as Campaign of mis-
representation inaugurated for the
purpose of prejudicins the minds Of
the American people"
Tho animus of these attacks is ap-
parent" he says. Beet sugar is this
only competitor the refners have, as
every pound OF beet sugar produced
in the United States means one len.
for them to refine.
With this industry Destroyed. thei,
only competitor would be eliminated
and few men in New York would hs
the price to be paid to the producers
OF raw sugar on the ono hand, and
that to be charged tho consumer OF
refined on the other.
"rhe production of beet sugar dur
ing the year has. by reason OF COM
petition between beet sugar manufac-
turers. resulted In beet sugar selling
at t1-2 to 1-2 cents q pound, when
the New York refiners were quoting q
price OF Ia cents per pound. When
the beet crop came on the market tho
price began to decline. and already the
rehnerS have been compelled to re-
duce their price over cont ana q
quarter a pound"
The statement declares that tho
domestic beet sugar production
coming on to the market as 1t did when
the situation was most acute. saved
the day.

II is that SO many products that arc ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgottcna The
reason is plain--the article did not fulfil
the promises OF the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
"A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
cured to those who are in need Of it.

every case it shows immediate results, as
many OF my customers testify. No other
