OLD YEAR SHOT OUT
BY PENDLET0NIANS

A rattle of pistol shots greeted
Young 1912 when he arrived in Pen
dleton last night and incidentally
awakened light sleepers who had gone
abed to dream the old year out and
the new year in. 1t was not big cell
ebration and it did not last long. There
was little If any revelry in Pendfeton
and aside from the general suspension
of business today there is little to show
that It is a holiday.
Stores and practically all business
establishments are closed for the en-
tire day. The postoffice as usual was
kept open from $3.50 until 1890 and
the line that waited at the postman's
window was lengthy one.
This evening entertainment will
be furnished by dance at the Eagles
Woodman hall under the auspices of
the w. o. w. degree team while the
picture and vaudeville shows will pro-
vide amusement for those who seek
diversion.

WORKERS COMBINE TO AID DRUhKARDS

Pittsburgh. Pa, Dec. 30.-Christ-
mas Day, 1910, woman, poorly clad
and with face swollen with weeping,
came to the home Of Mrs. Stella
Masters, in the fashionable East End
district OF Pittsburgs.
II saw your name in the paper
and how you were working to help
people made poor by drink" she said
between sobs. II didn't go to my
pastor because he couldn't do any
thing, I'm afraid, my husband
wouldn't listen to him. My husband
makes six dollars a day in the mills
but he spends it all for drink and to-
day-Christmas Day. just think of it
he drove our six children out on
the street and beat me. He was
drunk. Is there nobody who will do
something for drunkard's wives? Can
you help me She grew hysterical
and could not finish her pathetic
story.
Mrs. Masters. w. c. T, U. and
church worker. club woman and suf-
fragist, today said she was taken
aback by the womans appeal and
she realized that the IA years of her
work along charitable lines. had
somehow failed to hit the mark. Right
then and there she made the resolve
"Ill do something for drunkards'
wives and children"
A short time later the Protective
League for the Families of Drunk
ards, the most unique organization of
its kind in the country, was formed.
Mrs. Masters laughed when she
was asked whether the league of
whicn she is president had secured
any swearing off" pledges.

said. 'Most pledges are jokes. They
are made only to be broken.

Michigan Trapper, While Riding on
Skees, Suffers Peculiar Accident
in UnderbruSh

Marquette, Mich.-One of the most
remarkable cases that ever has come
tc the attention of the surgeons at
st. Mary's hospital, here is that of
Leo Graber, an Ohio man, who has
been engaged in trapping.
Riding on skees, Graber was coast
ing down hill. He lost his balance
when near the foot of the slope and
fell into a growth of underbrush. One
of the sprouts of the underbrush, no
larger than knitting needle, ran in
to his groin fifteen inches. penetrat-
ing the walls of the abdomen.
Now that the sprout has been re-
moved by the surgeons, it is as pliable
as rubber, and that it could have
penetrated the skin is fact almost in
credible. The theory is that the sprout
was frozen, which made it as stiff as
a knitting needle.
Graders condition is satisfactory.

Gains i'm West.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 1.-Advices
received the Progressive Republican
campaign committee headquarters
within a day or two show a remark
able increase in La Toilette strength
in Washington. Oregon and Wyoming
Washington and Wyoming have
been claimed by the administration
followers, with Oregon placed in the
doubtful column.
1t became known today that one of
the administration supporters in the
far west-a man whose business it is
to travel about the country in the in
terest of a stand-pat tariff campaign.
arrived in Washington a few days
ago for the purpose of reporting on
the conditions he had found in sew
eral states. This mans report is TO
the effect that the three states named
will certainly cast their votes in the
national convention against President
Taft and will vote for Senator La
Toilette.
While Wyoming has been classed
as a rock ribbed administration state
certain to come ITO the support of the
president, the fact Is that in that
state there is a revolt of more seri-
Gus proportions than in any other
state in the union. Prominent re-
publicans are openly declaring them
selves in favor of La Toilette as
against Taft
Their reasons for 80 doing is to be
found in the fact that Senator La
Toilette, more than any other man
now mentioned for rhe republican
presidential nomination. has demon
strated that he understands the needs
OF the western country. Wyoming
like other western states, awaits leg
islation at the hands of congres-
which will permit the long delayed
development of these states. The >vot-
ers are convinced that there has been
disposition in Washington to ignore
the demands from their section OF
the country. Senator La Follete's
views on conservation are thoroughly
understood in Wyoming, Colorado,
California, Washington, oregon, Mon
tana and Idaho, and they are in SYM
pathy with the views entertained by
the voters in those states.
1t is now regarded as certain that
the speaking tour of Senator La Fol-
lette will cement the favorable inn
preston he has already created in
these western states. These states
had ampl opportunity to study Pres
ident Taft during his tour of the
country. Finding him lacking in the
qualities which they demand in a
candidate for the presidency they
turned to Senator La Toilette and
nothing has occurred IN the political
world to change that judgment.
