A Strenuous Reception.

Carl Ris, assistant cashier of the
Pilot Rock bank and Miss L. Sharpf
were welded in Portland, and on
their return home to Pilot Rock were
greeted with strenuous reception.
The groom is practical joker aud
since his residence at the Rock, has
made life miserable for OF few Of
the citizens Of that burg. So when
news Of Mr.. Ris' marriage came,
great were the preparations made for
his reception. The greeting commenc-
ed on the train out from Pendleton.
The car was appropriately decorated,
and when about mile from Pilot
Rock station, tine groom was seized by
strong hands, bound and thrown from
the train. He managed to cut the
bonds and oaught up with the train.

SCARS THAT STAY.
They Come From Cuts That Go Down
to the True Skin.

They Come From Cuts That Co Down
TO the True Skin.
There are people who tell you that
everything in the body is changed ev'
cry seven years and that there is no
part Of It which was there seven years
ago. This does not mean that we
slough the whole thing Off at once, as
snake does Its skin or deer Its ant
lers. but simply that the innumerabie
and tiny atoms which are used up by
the daily wear and tear are replaced
by fresh atoms supplied by our food
and drink, which keeps the body going,
Just as coal and water keep the steam
engine at work.
But these changes aTe SO minute and
gradual that the form Of the body re-
mains the same, although such things
as scars take q long time to disappear,
and sometimes they remain for life, al
though they always lose great deal Of
their prominence.
You have noticed that If you cut your
finger slightly 1t will soon heal up and
the scar will soon disappear, just as the
marks of a superficial burn will grad
ually go away, but IL the cut Is deep
the scar remains. This is because 1t
went down to what is called the true
skin. ANY cuts or burns on the outer
skin are gradually pushed up and worn
or washed Off, just as the hair on the
back of your head wears or without
your cutting 1t and grows again, but
anything that goes down to the true
skin, like tattoo marks. always re-
mains.-New York Sun.

LYMAN IS FOR OPEN RIVER
Whitman College Man Gives Facts in
Address at Pendlet0n.

Prof. W. D. Lyman. of Whitman
College, delivered an address at Pen.
dleton on the subject of opening the
Columbia river. The East Oregonian
reports Prof. Lyman as saying that it
will cost seventeen millions all told to
open the Columbia river to the Can
adian line and savings which will come
about through lower freight rates will
amply justify this expense. People of
the northwest should unite in urging
that congress pass the appropriation
for the completion of the Oelilo canal
so that the work may te completed
there by the time the Panama canal
is ready for use. Unless the river is
opened the benef1ts of the great work
at Panama will not come to The peo-
pie Of this section,
In his talk Prof. Lyman told of the
eost of transportation road, by mac
adam highway. by rail and bv boat.
The cost Of service by boat is so much
lower than the cost of rail transporta-
tion that it ia impossible for rail.
roads to effectively compete with wat
er routes when conditions are normal.
While at the present. time the rail-
roads are meeting water and boat
rates to Pendleton. Professor Lyman
says they will be unable to do this
after the completion of the Cello
canal.
The trouble in the past regarding
the Improvement of rivers, said the
lecturer, is that the government has
carried on improvements as a project
rather than as policy. But the old
pork barrel plan of operations has
been done away with and appropria-
tions are now made In more consist
ent way.

Punishino Bachelors.

This punishment of the bachelor has
been common in many ages and coun-
tries and extended down to the early
days Of our own history. In Con-
necticut In 1896 a law was passed
which would not "alIow any young
unmarried man to keep house." and
Hartford taxed "lone men 20 shllllngs
a week" for the "selfish luxury of SOL
itary living" In 1882 a special town
order gave permission for two bache-
lors to keep house together. $50 they
