Eugene.
To an East Oregonian representa-
tive this morning Mr.. Gilkison talked
enthusiastically of his home land and
its progress. He does not approve of
all the reforms that New Zealand has
undertaken. But he says there are
no paupers in New Zealand and old
men do not have to go to the poor
house. New Zealand has a system
of old age pensions and it has been
in force for some years. 1t was the
first country to adopt the plan and
it is working we'll The pensions are
paid direct by the government out of
its general fund. The New Zealand
government can afford old age peR-
sions because it has control of most
of the public utilities, 1t is in COM
plete control of the railroads. In
some towns and cities the municipali-
ties even own the theaters and con-
duct them. The schools of New
Zealand are unsurpassed.
During his stay in the city Mr.. Gill
kison has been telling his old time
friend of the changes tht have taken
| place on the island within the past
80 years.

NURSE MAKES FATAL
MISTAKE IN MEDICINE

Yonkers, n. Y, oct. 22.-Florence
Harris, nurse who by mistake ad-
ministered acid instead of salts, caus-
ing the death of Mrs. Abraham Haight
patient at the homeopathic hospital,
recovered consciousness last night af-
ter "a hours of unconsciousness due
to collapse upon realizing her error.
Physicians say the nurse appears
to have lost all recollection of what
took place while caring for Mrs.
Haight. She recognized several
nurses, but greatly to the surprise of
the physicians, did not refer to her
mistake. She was very weak and
talked but little.
The doctors decided not to question
her regarding the mistake fearing any
mention of the affair would bring a
second collapse. The authorities
have not yet learned how the acid
came to be in the medicine cabinet
next to the salts

THAN DEMOCRATS IN
UMATILLA COUNTY

There are 1903 more republican
voters in Umatilla county than demo-
Gratis and 1884 more than all other
voters in the county combined, ac-
cordng to the figures in the official
registration as prepared by County
Clerk Frank Sailing. However, in
view of the fact that the majority Of
the voters registered before the pri-
maries, it is probable that the ma
ority claimed by the republican party
is greatly reduced by the departure
of many of their number to the new
progressive or Bull Moose" party.
OF those who have registered since
the primaries but seven claim allegi-
ance to the Rooseveltian offspring of
the republican party, according to the
figures prepared.
The total number of registered
voters in the county is 1891 of which
1890 are registered as republicans,
l1192 as democrats, 92 as prohibition
lists, l6S as socialists. as progress
sives, 10 as independents while ~ re-
fused to state their party preference.
OF the total number registered,
1853 are residents Of the six Pendle-
ton precincts. OF these S43 are rown
as republicans, 936 as democrats, 4
as progressives and the balance scat
