Some time ago a fine high grade pi-

citizen. since then he has met with
sad reverses and he writes us that as
he expects to leave Shoshone and can
not take the instrument with him, and
he asks us to take the piano and that
he would lose the amount that he has
paid. which is nearly one half Of the
purchase price.
We do not want to go to the expense
of shipping this instrument and there
fore we win sell this piano to new
buyer for the balance due us. which
is little more than half the first
price.
We will also arrange terms to suit
any reasonable buyer.
We also have another cheaper piano
in Shoshone that we have for sale I'M

DR.. Gilbert Fitzpatrick of Chicago,
president of the ObstetrlcaI Society
of the American Institute of Homeopa-
thy. said recently at convention that
the modern mother is a poor mother
and the direct cause Of the high rate
of mortality. These women, he said,
are detectives and muscular degener-
ates. They are poor mothers, weak
lings, mentally, morally. physically,
and even socially, when the country's
welfare and race berterment are
hanging In the balance.

CITY GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE
DRASTIC ACTION AGAINST n. P

The Pendleton city government
and the Northern Pacific Railway
Co. are in a state of war. Actins
Mayor John Dyer and the council
last evening formally declared hostil-
tiles against the railway company as
result of the attitude OF the COM
pany officials toward the requests
and demands of the council for the
making OF certain Improvements on
their property.
The city's first move against the
company will be an ordinance reQuir-
ing warning bell to be put in at
East Webb and Court streets and a
watchman to be stationed at every
crossing where the n. p. line inter-
sects a street.
The situation has been brought
about by the failure OF the company
to comply with an order from the
council to put IN several blocks OF
new sidewalk on West Webb street
and also by what the councilmen
term the botch job done by the COM
pany in paving between its tracks.
Some months ago both the O.-W,
II. & ~ Co, and the \. p. were In
structed to pave between their tracks

will be remembered that during Gill
lilandis former term as judge he en-
deavored to have the legislature add

measure failed because protest
against the scheme was made by a
large number of farmers, mostly in

CITY COUNCIL RECEIVES LET
TER URGING ALL TO JOIN
CAMPAIGN.

Pendleton as we'll as every otner
city In the west has been called up
on by the people or the south TO
come TO their aid at n time when
their chief industry is being threat
.ened with temporary destruction by
the great war in Europe. Both the
city council and the Board OF Trade
are in receipt OF letters from Mayor
Walter Spigener of st. Matthew'S
South Carolina, requesting them TO
join In the "Buy Bale" movement
which has been instituted by the peo-
pie of the great cotton belt
The letter sets forth that large
percentage of the cotton raised In
the south eeach year is exported to
Europe and that the war has shut OFT
all this export trade. AS result
1t is stated, there will be surplus OF
5000. 600 bales left in the south TINS
year after all of the mills OF this
country have been supplied The sit
uation has resulted in cotton prices
being forced below the cost of pro-
duction and threatens paralysis oil
business in the southern states.
The plan adopted for relief Is TO
have the city governments Of the
north and west, commercial organiza-
tions. business houses and individu-
ais buy the surplus in small lots at
normal price and hold the cotton
off the market until the war Is over
The Investment will be q good one
It is pointed out inasmuoh as cotton
prices are bound to soar as soon as
peace is declared. Already, the let
ter states, thousands of bales have
been disposed of in this manner and
the local people are requested to Guy
one bale or more, either having the
cotton shipped here or held in soutn-
ern warehouses subject to their or
der. There are 500 pounds Of cot
ton in bale and the proposed price
Is ten cents n pound.
The council last evening referred
the communication to the finance
committee.

for drastic action and, forthwith In

council backed him up in his atti-

eral elections were held IN June and,
with the change Of the election from

tends that the registration dates were

expense Of repair was not justified,
and claimed that his offer OF $4,000
for her one-third interest was more
than he could ezer get back from il.
Relying upon his statements and

she relates that on February 81,

OF her interest in their real property
to him for $4,000. She has since
