MABEL WARNER HAS
THE THIRD LETTER

The third. letter signed with her
fathers name was received Saturday
by Mrs. Mabel Young Warner and
it was exhibited by her Immediately
after being taken out of the postof-
flee to a representative of the East
Oregonian. 1t bore the postmark of
Cadott, Wisconsin, where her father,
supposedly dead for a quarter of a
century, is claimed to be living
now.
The letter is written in tone indi-
eating that the father is hurt by the
daughters failure to respond prompt
iy to his last letter. He asks that if
she has any doubts regarding his
character, that she write to the Citi-
zens' State Bank of Cadott for infor-
nation, 1t is couched in language
and the spelling and grammatical
construction is such that it is evil
dent that the writer is more or less
illiterate.
Referring to the charges that she
might be perpetrating a fraud by Sc
curing someone to tmpersonate her
dead father, Mrs. Warner stated thai
such a deception would be discovered
Immediately the impostor arrived be-
cause of the fact that her father was
known personally to Mr.. Phillips, the
uncle of F. d. Watts, who has been
helping his niece in the fight for the
estate. 81 am relying upon Mr.. Phil
lips to clear up any doubts on that
score" she said.

gan stated this afternoon that he had

General Supt. Holton arrived this
afternoon and, upon being made ac-
quainted with the situation, declared
emphatically that the demands of the
teamsters would not be met and that
he would Immediately send to Port
land for some of the company's auto
trucks If men cot d not be secured to
operate the wagons here. 1--WE want
to employ local men If possible" he
said. but If We cannot we must send
away. We cannot afford to pay six
dollars a day for a man and team
when the city only pays that amount
for man, team and wagon and makes
the driver do his own shoveling. We
do not anticipate that operations will
be delayed much as with the six
teams we have now we can proceed
with the work already under way"

Chicago, April S.-With the presi-

necessary.
If suffrage wins in Cook county,
an effort will be made later for a state
wide primary to force the legislature
to enact an equal suffrage law.

dent Taft claim a republican vistory,
while both Clark and Governor Will
son of New Jersey claim a victory

San Diego, Cal, April S.-A free

when 1t became known that the San
Diego codicil of the Federated Trades
had put the situation up to Governor
Johnson and told him If he did not
take a hand, local labor men would
take steps to protect themselves.
The labor men, in resolution, de-
clare an intolerable situation has de-
veloped here and that citizens are
not safe from the depredations of the
viligance committee, operating with
full knowledge of the police.
The labor men declare they will or
ganize patrol of 1000 to guard the
streets from the vigilantes If not
protected by Governor Johnson.
The citizens have. on the other
hand, formed a committee of 1900
to aid the police. The citizens de-

-FOUR TEAM TR|-STATE BASEBALL LEAGUE
IS CERTAIN: TWO OTHERS ARE PROBABLE

A four team tri-state league Is now
certainty with the possibility of a
six team league, according to a tele-
gram received last night by Secretary
Keefe of the Commercial association
from w. N Sweet, the Boise delegate
who has been promoting league senti-
ment in the different cities. A meet
ing for organization will be held here
in Pendleton Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock at which time delegates
from the different cities interested will
be here.
The telegram from Mr. Sweet shows
that Pendleton, Boise, Walla walla
mad La Grande are ready and anxi-
Gus to form the league while Baker
stands willing to enter IL six town
Is available. This would seem to in
dicate that the situation in Ontario is
not altogether favorable.

Not All Going Out.

For the benefit of those property
owners who are demonstrating against
the proposed street improvements, one
of the city councilmen points out that
a geat deal Of the money which they
would pay for the work would be
spent right here in Pendleton again.
He cites the fact that last week the
Warren Construction company, which
Is now paving Alta and Cottonwood
streets, had in its employ here los
men and 25 teams and that on Satur-
day night its payroll amounted to
S2250.

BRITISH INDUSTRIAL
WAR is ONLY BEGUN
General Strike of All Trades
Unions Threatens
Nation

London, April S.-A decided move
ment is on foot in trades union cirE
cles today in favor of a general strike
that may make the coal strike look
like a mere episode. The movement
WAS encouraged recently bv the
threats of anti-labor members In par
lament to try to repeal the trades
disputes act of 1908, which permits
peaceful picketing, and introduce in
its place legislation providing for
compulsory arbitration of industrial
troubles.
"Our organization is practically per-
fected," said w. A. Appleton, secre-
tary of the General Federation OF
Trades Unions. "You may rest as
sured that any attempt to deprive us
of our rights to strike, or even to re-
strict our fight will be promptly met
by action that would put such a pro-
posal out of court for the next gen.
eration."
In any event there is likely to be
a number of strikes of the various
trades, due to the expiration of agree
ments in May, which might easily de-
velop into Widespread stoppages.
The Shipyards and Engineering
Trades Federation have decided not
to renew the present agreements
which will terminate May 1st and
will make a determined fight 20 gen.
orally improve the conditions of the
men of those crafts, as well as the re-
arrangement of the hours of labor
Of 7 on
don have drawn up an ultimatum
and their demands will be made to
their employers the same date. These
two strikes and their demands will
probably spread to the provinces.

Portrait Collection

Heretofore the State HiStori-
cal Society Of Missouri has not
given much attention to the
collecting of portraits of natives
or residents of Missouri, or
Of persons connected in any
way with its history. The rea-
son of this has been largely
because of the lack of wall sur
face ON which to hang pictures.
But we realize that this delay
is making it more difficult to
get portraits than we would like
it to be, and we wish now
to call on our friends to assist
us in this work.
Other historical societies have
large collections, not only of
photographs, but also including
scores of oil paintings. AS an
example of the activity Of these
societies the last report of the
Minnesota Historical Society
may be mentioned it then had
on its walls 800 individual por-
traits, and 40 groups of
about 1900 individuals, and
also $50 pictures of historic
buildings or localities, etc, and
it had 1000 additional portraits
of Minnesota pioneers and lead
ing citizens, these of card
and cabinet sizes, and all cat
alleged and so arranged as to
be conveniently found.
The Society has received
many photographs of persons,
and some oil paintings, and
has mny hundreds of pictures
taken by the Missouri Com
mission for the Worlds Fair
in st. Louis, from different parts
of the State.
The Society has the printers
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1912-07-26

cuts Of all the photographs that
were used in the Missouri Book,
which was distributed during
the Worlds Fair, several hun
dred IN number, and these have
been borrowed and and made
use of by the State officials and
individuals in a number Of cases.
Anyone should be proud to
have their friends and relatives
included IN the collection, and
their memory preserved to the
future. We hope that every
one who reads this circular will
look upon it as if it were es-
pecially addressed to the in
dividuai, and viii send us por-
TRAITS or crGyon if they will,
and if not, then photographs Of
as large size rs may be found
convenient. We want por-
its Of the early pioneers
and Of persons who were
prominent even locally Of city,
county and state officials; Of
leading ministers, lawyers, doe
tors, teachers and other pro
fessional men; of others who
have helped in however humble
way in making our State what
1t is; and of everyone of the
members Of our Society.
Information is also asked a.
bout any portraits that the So
ciey might get by a more d.
rect application. - Circular No.

FOUND ANCIENT RELIC.

While one of the gardeners in
Broomhall gardens was digging a
trench recently, says the London
Globe, he came upon an ancient sand
bed. On further excavations being
made for the purpose Of Sucuring
sand for gardening purposes, a huge
bone was discovered. The bone is
believed to be one of the vertebrate
of a whale or other great sea mon
ster. If that be so, the waters of
the Firth of Forth must have ex-
tended at least a quarter of a mile
farther inland at some very remote
period. The osseous find was de-
posted in Lord Elgin's museum at
Broomhall.

Popular Campaign Subscriptions

Popular Campaign Subscriptions.
It is good news, and not for
Governor Wilson and the Dem
ocrats only, that small sub
scriptions for campaign ex-
penses are flowing into Sea
Girt simultaneously.
Those expenses, even if cut
down to the narrowest neces-
sity, take a lot of money. Laws
and a chastened public senti-
ment, and possibly also their
own reluctance, WEAKNESS or
groutiness, prevent the old ac-
customed milking of the COR
porations and the plutocrats.
1t Is well if the peoples hand
is to take the place of the cap
ltalists hitherto perennially pull
ed leg; if the ancient black
mail is no more; if, to put the
best face on an ugly habit, a
party can 90 into and through
a canvass with no angelic aid,
with no suspicion of implied Or
possible obligation to anybody
but the mass of its members.
OF course the Roosevelt or
Moosis party is a privileged ex-
ception and keeps a herd of
unusual good "milkers' and
great yielders. Not for moth
ing does its totem, the four leg
ged Moosis, wear a bag or
pouch at his throat.-New York

TO TAKE PLACE OF COTTON
Common Nettle Found to Have vaIu-
able Fibers That Make Lus-
trous White Yarn.

The search for a cotton substitute
has been going in Europe for a long
time, and many experiments have
been made with the common nettle,
which has been a promising plant on
account of the strength of its fiber
and its ready growth wild under the
most discouraging conditions, with a
large yield per acre.
The great difficulty has been in
separating the fiber from the woody
stem. In a method of treatment that
has been worked out in the last
two or three years the dried nettle
stems are boiled about an hour in
dilute soda I've, and the loosened
ibers are then separated in a ma
chine with revolving brushes.
The material is then subjected to
a number of alternate boilings in di-
lutte I've and thorough washings, both
under high pressure.
The product is a mass Of yellow
ish fbers free from gum, hat can
be bleached, combed arl SRI into
lustrous white Z. J is
claimed to have the smootLness and
softness of fax, with a strength
even greater than that Of hemp.
The yarn has been made into bril-
liant damask, and can be used
alone or with other threads-for up
holsteries, ribbons and a variety of
fabrics. Tribune.

SIMPLICITY.

Simplicity is the elimination of
the non-essential in all things. 1t
reduces life to its minimum of real
needs; raises it to its maximum of
powers. Simplicity means the sur
vival-not of the fttest, but of the
best. In morals it kills the weeds
Of vice and weakness so that the flow
ers of virtue and strength may have
room to grow. Simplicity cuts off
waste and intensifes concentration.
1t converts Pickering torches into
searchlights. -From "Self-C Control .
