LATHROP SHAKES
OFF WHITE PLAGUE

Back to Life" is the subject of
story of how he has been cured of
tuberculosis as told in Golfers by
John f. Lathrop, formerly of Pen
dleton.
Mr.. Lathrop was at one time editor
OF the East Oregonian. Eight months
ago. he was suddenly stricken with tu-
berculosis. and suffered series of
pulmonary hemorrhages.
His cure was effected at Saranac
Lake. in the Adirondack mountains,
ana Mr.. Lathrop is now sound and
well as ever. The process is describ-
ed in the Golfers article, and con-
sisted of months of rest and quiet in
the open air of a sleeping porch.
There was a diet of fresh eggs and
milk along with other foods, and
there was a long wait through the
slowly dragging days for the cure to
come.
1t was a long and tedious program
but after a period of months, the treat
ment ended and a permanent cure Is
announced. 1t is a story of hope and
promise to consumptives who can
read in the vividly told narrative the
story of safety for themselves.
Mr.. Lathrop has many friends in
Oregon who rejoice that he is again
back to life

LIQUOR REPORTED TO HAVE PLAYED
PART IN ATHENA AUTO ACCIDENT

Since the fatal automobile accident
between Athena and Weston in which
Leslie Edwards lost his life and Carl
Engdahl, Guy Smith and Clarence
Suhl were injured, reports have be-
come quite current to the effect that
the members of the party had been
drinking heavily and that otherwise
the accident would not have occurred.
This report is denied emphatically by
others who We're with the young men
shortly before or shortly after the un-
fortunate occurrence. A fifth mem
Der of the party, Van Goodwin, who
had left the car at Athena, was in the
city yesterday and declared that,
while some of the young men had
had a few glasses of beer none We're
in the least intoxicated.
Other reports from Weston say
that the party purchased four bottles
of beer there but that three of the bot
ties. were found unopened in the ear
after the accident. The report has
not been verified The Weston report
also has it that young Suhl who was
driving the car, made the boast that
he would get back to Athena in five
minutes. Still another report has il
that he is under legal age and that,
l. he was sold liquor. the person
making the sale violated the law.
SO far as can be Learned no inquest
was held over the body of the de-

Asking that the proposed federal
building for Pendleton be constructed
under the appropriation now available
for the structure and for the furnish
ing thereof, a day letter was today
filed to Representative y. j Sinnott
by the president and secretary of the
Commercial Club under instructions
from the board of managers. If the
letter has the desired effect the plans
for the local building will be changed
and it will be possible to commence
the construction within the near fu-
ture.
The action of the Commercial Club
was taken today following the receipt
of a letter from Representative Sin
mott giving the status of the case as it
stands. On visiting the treasury de-
partment the congressman found the
department unwilling to reduce the
size of the building for the reason the
space is no more than will be requir-
ed. There Is but one way open to Sc
cure the construction under the pres
ent appropriation and that is by re-
vising the plans and providing for a
brick instead of stone building.
Representative Sinnott also gave as
his view and as the general view of
congressman that there will be no pub
lie buildings bill before congress dur
ing the year 1913. Consequently if
Pendleton is to secure a federal build
ing at all soon it will be necessary tc

make use of the appropriation already
made.
The sum of s1O5.OO0 was appropri-
ated by congress for the local build
ing and with the exception of the
small sum paid for the building site
this amount is now available for erect
ing and furnishing the building. 1t is
argued by those favoring immediate
construction that this amount will be
ample to provide a very creditable
building and that it would be unwise
to defer action longer in the hope of
securing more money 1t is pointed
out in this connection that with the
control of congress resting with the
democrats the southern states may set
forth the just claim that the south
has been neglected in the matter of
public buildings and that if further
buildings are TO be erected the south
will have a heavy claim to satisfy,
thereby making a situation under
which it might be difficult for north
ern or western states to secure new
appropriations with ease during the
next few years.
In his letter Congressman Sinnott
stated that upon receipt of authority
to do so he would ask the department
the construction of the local building
as soon as it can be reached. 1t is
presumed that upon receipt of the
message from the Commercial Club
] he will take such action

BROS. SELL
100000 POUNDS OF
WOOL AT ARLINGTON

What Is the largest individual
wool sale of the season thus far oc-
Cured yesterday when Smythe Bros
sold their Arlington clip of 100000
pounds to j. b. Dufour, the price
paid being IL SIS cents for coarse
wool and Is 1-2 for fine The wool
is to be baled in transit in Pendleton
and is now stored at Arlington and at
Roosevelt Wash.
Last year the Smythe Bros wool
sold at IS cents for coarse wool and
l3 rs cents for fine. However that
does not show the true difference in
the price as the wool this year is
cleaner than last year and consequent
ly mo- valuable.
The Stanfield wool clip is a larger
clip than that of Smythe Bros, but

concluding lecture at Yale on Some
questions of modern government, de-
clared that the United States was
'ludicrously unprepared for war" and
criticised congress for failure to pro-
vide for an adequate army and navy
Continuing he said:
Much of the literature written
about what would happen in the event
of an attack by the Japanese, supposes
they could do lot of impossible
things and that in the meantime we
would be doing nothing. But we
must remember that in the past we
have had great luck and it might not
continue"
