ART EXHIBIT NEXT WEEK.
An Opportunity for the People OF Lau-
rcns to See the Masterpieces of the
Great Artists.

Great Artists.
Supt. b. l.. Jones has arranged for
one of the most beneficial as we'll as
attractive methods of entertainment
that has ever been the privilege of
the grown people and children of this
city to witness. Next week, beginning
Wednesday afternoon and lasting the
remained of the week. a collection
of beautiful pictures, taken from the
masterpieces of the worlds most re-
nowned artists, will be on exhibition
These pictures only go to the larger
cities and Laurens is very fortunate
in securing them.
The following is criticism of the
exhibition, by the art editor of Tho
Newark Sunday Call:
"Thc pictures of this collection now
on exhibition are all taken from the
originals. and are carbon photographs
or prints, with some gravurcs and
platinum prints. The work is execut-
ed in the very best style. while the
selection OF subjects is well adapted
for its purpose.
The portraits with Washington and
Lincoln we'll in the foreground, are
well chosen to inspire artistic and pa
triotic enthusiasm. 1t is certainly a
'"lcome thought that, given FIVE years
OF close association with such art sub
jects, the public would soon acquire a
high art standard. The gaudy chrome
has become a thing of the past"
Each evening of the exhibition, spe-
cial entertainments will be arranged,
by local people On Wednesday even
ing the last of the school Lyceum
Course will be given
small admission fee will be charg-
ed at each exhibition, the proceeds of
which will go towards the picture fund
of the school.

AFTER DIR. WILEY.

More than likely DIR. Wiley, govern
ment chemist, is right when he says
the whiskey trust and certain food
manufacturers are the instigators of
the move to oust him. DR.. Wiley has
done some very effective work towards
bringing about the manufacture of
pure food. He has enforced the law
against the use of poisonous preserva- =
tives and has been fearless in expos
ing the methods of certain manufac-
turers who care nothing for the
health of people and seek only to
make the greatest possible profits.
But if the food manufacturers and
the adulterated whiskey makers sue
ceed in getting DR.. Wiley's scalp
there will be thousands of people who
will demand to know the reason why.

PROSECUTE THEM.

In taking criminal action against
the circulators of the university of
Oregon petitions, alleged to be filled
with fraudulent names, the authorities
are doing what they should do. If
fraudulent names were affixed TO
those petitions then the men doing
the work should go to Jail. 1t is a
criminal misuse of the referendum
If criminal action is not pressed there
will be many people who will get the
idea that the names are not fraudu-
lent and that the charges of fraud
have been trumped up. If there is
proof of wrong doing go straight
through with the matter regardless
of how many men may face peniten-
tiary sentences.

WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN

Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
should write DIR. Pierce and receive free the
advice of physician of over 40 years experience
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded Sacredy
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to DR.. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty to say that he cannot do anything
without IAN examination. DR.. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generaly need

A FALSE CHARGE

Yesterday the charge was made by
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-07-15

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY.

In his remarks at the Commercial
club managers meeting yesterday
DR.. c. ]. Smith called attention to
some very pertinent points in con-
nection with the local move to OBJ
tain better treatment from the Pa
cffic Power & Light company.
According to the doctor electricity
IS supplied to the state university anj
to the Oregon Agricultural college at
two cents per kilowat. In California
recently he noticed blazing electric
signs in san Francisco advertising
electricity for sale at two and one
half cents per klowat.
Now in the past charge OF II
cents per kilowat has been made by
the electric company in Pendleton and
under the promised reduction the
basic charge will be u cents per kilo-
wat
Why IS it that the electric trust
must charge IL cents per kilowat
here when the same sort of electricity
may be had in the Willamette valley
and in California at one-sixth tina;
price?
The electricity used in Pendleton is
generated by means of water power
just as in the valley and in Califor
mia. Why should it not be sold to
consumers at the same price. Is it.
more difficult for water to run down
hill in eastern oregon than in the
Willamette valley and in California?
l. it harder for the juice to flow
through the wires in Pendleton than
at Corvallis and Eugene?
1t would be interesting to hear an
explanation upon this point from
the master electrician Of the trust or
from some other official who may
know why Pendleton pays so much
more for electricity than does other
places.
1t would be interesting to know
II there were any way Of finding out
just how much profit the electric
company is making off its Pendleton
business and how much the proposed
reduction will affect the profits.
In the view Of this paper such in
formation would afford great relief
10 certain city officials who seem TO
be worry lest the electric com
Dany is not doing well and lest 1t
would work a terrible hardship on
the trust to require it to place its
wires underground in the business
section Of Pendleton.
II he would do right ]. Pierpont
Morgan, OF whoever owns the cleo
trio trust, should notify his council
manic friends in Pendleton that he
will survive even should the worst
come 70 the worst II is not right they
should oe made to worry and fret
as they are doing.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-07-15

the electric company's organ that the
resolution endorsing the move to re-
move the overhead wires was rail-
roaded through the Commercial club
managers. The charge is absolutely
false.
The resolution was presented by
DR.. smith in regular meeting Of the
board ana it was freely discussed by
an who cared to discuss it. There
We're seven members present-more
tlan a majority of the board, Those
in attendance were President Smythe
and the Messrs, Montgomery, Smith,
Rice. McAllister, Keefe, and Aldrich.
The motion for the adoption of the
smith resolution was made by AIR
Rice and the move had the support
of all present save Mr.. Montgomry.
VI least he was the only member to
raise a word of protest and even he
did not vote against the adoption of
the resolution.
Had the entire membership of the
board been present it is safe to pre-
dict the resolution would have been
adopted by an even stronger vote.
The board of managers is progress
sive" in tone and stands for the gen.
eral advancement of the city 1t would
be a sorry kind of a Commercial club
i its managing board We're not COM
posed of men with such tendencies.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-07-15

There is so much preliminary work
to be done in connection with paw
ing that the electric company and the
telephone company will have ample
time to get their wires underground
II the council moves quickly.
