IN TWO courts

William c. James has Instituted
suit against James HI Johnson. on
the charge of malicious prosecution
In his complaint .ther, plaintiff
claims that he and Johnson have
been mining partners since April (
1908. and until the month of June
1911, were engaged in mining on
below. Nolan creek. In this claim
the defendant owned a two-thirds
interest. and the plaintiff a one-third
interest. On June l.. 1911. the com

ners. and that James had no interests
in the gold dust whatever.
The complaint. continuing, shows
that Captain Johnson thereupon
swore out a search warrant and had
the property of James searched and
/ a quantity of gold dust seized This
gold dust was not the same dust that
was claimed to have been stolen
from Johnson. Later. the defendant
in the present action. Captain John
son appeared before the grand jury
and gave evidence that caused them
TO return an indictment against
James Subsequently. however, the
case against James was dismissed
upon motion of the district attor-
ney. James claims that the purpose
of Johnson in so doing was to make
him reinquish his interest in the
mining ground owned jointly by the
two men. The plaintiff in the case
asserts that his credit for honesty
and integrity was thus ruined with
the people of the koyukuk. He had
TO cease mining operations. and was
unable to pay wages and other
debts that were due. He was also
compelled to come to Fairbanks. los
ing thereby a whole seasons work,
besides mourning heavy expenses.
Therefore the plaintiff. James, asks
damages against Captain Johnson in
the sum of $4,000, divided as fol
lows: $1,000 for the actual loss in
money. 100000 for injury to credit
and reputation, $1,000 for expendi-

the 100000 voted by the state gov
ernment was money we'll expended.
But the money that goes to pay pre-
miums at the district fairs goes for
the same good purpose-to exploit the
development of the state and to en-
courage further advancement in agri-
culture and in other lines.
The point the East Oregonian de-
sired to make was that Portland peo-
pie should not object to the district
fair appropriations after having drawn
$500, 600 for their own fair. Portland
people raised 100000 themselves for
the big fair says the Oregonian Well,
Well. But Pendleton business men
raised ten times that amount pro-
portionately when the third district
fair was started here. The Oregon
ian should keep still regarding that
100000 lest Californians learn of it
and smile. San Francisco is now rails
ing $15.O00,OOO for her Panama fair
and San Francisco has but twice the
population of Portland and not long
ago lost everything she had in an
earthquake-fir

THE BIRTH OF DUFF.

Captain Turner of the Mauretania
recounted the other day the birth of
plum duff, the dish Of sailors.
Duff" he said, had a Christmas
origin. One Christmas day, hundreds
of years ago, at sea, a ship in storm
was swept by a comber that carried
off her cook, her crate of chickens,
her turkeys-in word, the whole raw
material of her Christmas dinner.
But the sailors were determined
to have at least some sort or a Christ
mas pudding They knew nothing
about cooking and they drew lots for
their new cook. The lot fell to the
boatswain's mate.
This chap fished up cook book
from the bottom of his sea chest, ran
over the pudding recipes, and chose
one that began:
Make a stiff dough-
He made a pudding after this re-
ceipe. 1t was stuffed with Malaga
raisins and covered with a rich sauce.
"'Put a name to it, they said. Put
name to it,
"And the boatswain's mate, know
ing that 'r-o-u-g-h' was pronounced
rough and thing thinking 'd-o-u-g-
h. followed the same rule, answered
readily:
"T't called duff, mates"

THE VIEWPOINT.

Mrs. Mary T. Metcalfe, discussing
the pure food question at the Gotham
clubs recent meeting at the Wald-
rf-Astoria in New York, smiled and
said:
IT heard food dealer once declare
that chemicals in food must be all
right, since salt itself was a chemi-
CAL
"a queer argument, eh? 1t depends,
you see, on the point of view. What
won't we say under the influence of
the point of view?
"Once, at Niagara, gentleman said
to the hotel proprietor, pointing to-
ward the falls:
Glorious, isn't it?'
"'Ah, but it amt what it used to
be- the proprietor sadly returned.
"'No Why not?' said the guest.
"The hotel proprietor shook his
head
"'Too many hotels he said"

PHILOSOPHY.

Don't kick because folks call you n
crank. That's humanitys way of con-
ferring distinction upon its future IA
vorites.
Every time some fool calls me a
crank 1 call him flatterer. l get
all puffed up and wish most devoutly
that he were telling the truth.
II you're lucky enough to be a
crank-a real crank-take the nasty
knocks and the derisien of the dunn
les, pay the price ana be thankful.
A real crank is man who is any
where from ten to ten million years
ahead of his time.
Humanity never takes a step until
some crank finds it's growing fast to
the rock of conservation, pulls 1t up by
the roots and starts it walking again.
It's a painful process and humanity
always takes fall out of the crank,
but it moves!
Every blow for liberty, every ad-
vancement in science, every forward
march in human progress has been
inspired by some reputed harebrain
who knew what he was talking about
but who had to hide out nights to
keep his neighbors from giving him a
coat of tar and feathers or enthusias-
tically burning him in the public
square
Being a crank doesn't contribute
much to present individual happiness,
but it goes long way toward boost
ing the sum of JOY in the future.
Crankhood, like virtue, is its own
reward; otherwise it wouldn't have
any.
We cruelty our cranks today, can
onize them tomorrow.
II you're a crank. you can't help It,,
so don't worry. A martyrs crown
and memorial satuary hundred years
hence may not interest you, but If
you're a big enough crank you may
live and labor with the ever-present
solace that you're making your dent
and the world knows it.

TOO BAD THEY LEFT IT.

When local farmers were rushing
pell nell into Alberta two years ago
the East Oregonian warned them fire.
quently that they might be sorry they
went They were reminded that dist
ant fields often looked greener than
they are and that many people fail
by looking far and wide for what lies
close at hand. But the stampede was
on and it had to run its course. 1t
has done so and the reaction is now
on.
Those who went north have found
it very cold up there. Reports show
IL is about so below zero there now
while down in old Umatilla the ther-
mometer has not yet seen the zero
mark this winter. The crops in AL
berta-the proclaimed Umatilla of
the north-have been sadly lacking
during the past two seasons. One
former Alberta booster writes back
that the first year he had a complete
failure while the next he did not get
more than eight bushels per acre off
any Of his land. He says an Ameri-
can who has anything at all in this
country is foolish to leave it.
Many people who took good Una.
tlla county money into the north and
paid it to the Canadian Pacific land
agents are now making their expens-
es the best way possible, having fail
ed to get the expected crops That
these people will make it go" IL any
people do up there goes for granted.
They have nerve and energy and are
pretty well able to hold their own in
the world If they have half a show.
II was because they are good and in
dustrious people that the East Ore
gonian complained when they went
away. May they do well in spite OF
the hardships they have encountered
thus far.
But many Of them would have been
Ear better off had they remained in
Gods country.

THE REALLY HARD PART.

With over $4,000 of the Round up
money already raised the financial job
looks easy. But the work of the
Roundup men will not be over with
when the money is raised nor even
when the new tract has been gotten
into shape. The greatest task of all
will be that of caring for the visitors
who will be in the city next fall It
will be a simple task to build a new
grand stand and a track. It will be
comparatively easy to arrange a
thrilling program for the show. But
just how to provide sleeping and
eating accommodations for five or six
thousand extra people who will be in
the city will not be easy.
But it must be done. Pendleton
cannot afford to bring people to this
city to see the Roundup and then
force them to walk the streets all
night or sleep on the sidewalks.

SOME BUILDING.

1t begins to look like Pendleton is
going to have a bumper crop of big
buildings this summer. Doubtless the
work on the branch asylum will be
started before many months and il
the building is to be in proportion to
the size of the appropriation wanted
it will be something of a structure.
The federal building is yet to be erect
ed. If Judge Ellis can secure the in
creased appropriation so as to pro-
vide for the federal court room then
actual work may be undertaken soon.
We will get new high school build
ing, if the people uphold the school
board in the stand taken, which they
will unquestionably do. And now
comes the information from Father
Durgan that the Catholics expect to
build their new church this summer

A LESSON FOR DIPLOMATS.

Elihu Root, at the luncheon in
Providence preceding the dedication
Of the John Hay memorial library at
Brown university, said Of John Hay:
His diplomacy was gracious, and
it was prudent as we'll. I remember,
in an argument about certain inter-
national complication, now very
warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.
at was the Christmas season, and
he said that we might learn lesson
from a little girl who was naughty in
the early part Of December.
"'Dear me- her mother said, If
you're going to be naughty I'm very
much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents
THE little girl frowned

not say it so near the chimney"

THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

Philip Snowden, the socialist mem
Der of parliament, said at a recent
dinner in New York:
The men who combat socialism
all misunderstood it-all talk like
Lord Lansdowne.
Lord Lansdowne, when the liber-
al candidates got to offering votes old
age pensions, labor insurance and the
like, remarked:
In my young days the candidate
used to go around and say, ELECT me
and I'll give you a keg of beer and
your wife will get silk dress" That
was the expensive way Today they
say, Lord This and the Earl of That
have got property. Elect me, I'll give
it to you" They do 1t on the cheap

SATISFIED IGNORANCE.

At the recent French cooks show
in Duluth, Armand Guillenant, a vet
eran who once cooked for Baron
Rothschild, said:
American cooking would be better
If American cooks would take lessons
from France. But many American
cooks are very independent. They
rather remind me, in their independ-
ence, of the Senegalese, who visited
Paris.
These men, on their return to
Senegal recounted, at gathering of
the tribe, what they had seen. An old
woman said:
''The head chief frowned and an
swered haughtily.
Its true, as ye say, woman, that
we could make neither head nor tail

with our tongue as We with theirs.

SKIN DISEASES
HUMORs In THE BLOOD

Nature has made ample provision
in the moisture and sunshine Of the
air for the. outward protection and
healthy condition OF the skin. But
the more important work of nourish-
ing the cuticle has been left to an iu-
ward source-the blood. 1t is from
the circulation that the pores and
glands receive their stimulus, and
the fibrous tissues arc all preserved
in healthful state because of con-
slant nutriment supplied by the blood.
1t is only when the circulation be-
comes infected with humors or acids
that we are troubled with skin affec-
tions. The humors producing these
troubles are carried through the cir
culation direct to the skin, and their
irritating or inflammatory effect re-
mains until the blood is cleansed.
S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases, because
it is the greatest Of all blood purifiers.
1t goes into the circulation and

Therefore, with ample kowtows for the sentiment ex- pressed by that able disciple of Blackstone, who hurls chunks of Kent, ct al, with deadly affect into the opposition, we reprint the letter:
