How to Preserve Poor Mine.

A rich but exceedingly mean man,
residing in upper New York, who had
an excellent wine cellar, but poor wine,
found that in spite of its quality some
one of the servants was always steal
ing it. He called his butler, who was
in chronic state of disgust at his en-
ployer's stinginess, and said: Thomas,
this has got to stop! 1t is your busi-
ness to attend to such matters. Now,
what would you suggest as the most
practical way to preserve this wine?"
Il don't know, sir" replied the butler.
unless you put something that's bet
ter worth drinking alongside of it,
A quantity of apples on storage in
the county have already been shipped
to the Eastern and to European mar
kets. The movement of fruit has be-
come quite active within the last tN o
or three weeks. The prices obtained
have been fairly satisfactory. Messrs
Rouss Bros have shipped a large
order of Pippins from their cold st0i-
age house in Kabletown. Mess-s. c.
L. Robinson & Son last week shipped
three carloads of the Gano variety on
consignment for export. Two Of the
carloads were consigned to Glas gov.
Scotland, and one to Liverpool.

PEOPLE TO DECIDE WHO SHALL
PAY FOR JACKSON ST. PAVEMENT

There is a strong probability that
the people OF Pendleton will have an
opportunity to say whether or not all
the property owners Of jackson street
will pay for the improvements made
on that street or whether some of
them shall be exempt because of a
technical error in the proceedings.

that at the same election at which the

held void for any other reason, may

These reports were so far confirmed
today as to be given as authentic. In
itiative petitions are expected to be in
circulation within a day or two.
Not only will the reassessment mea-
sure prevent in the future any such
result as secured from the Johns VS.
Pendleton case but it will by retroac-
tive powers. actually compel those
property holders exempted from pay
ment by the ruling Of the supreme
court to pay the assessment made by
the city against them plus interest

COPpERFIELD CASE WILL
Be CONSIDERED BY JURY
TO RESULT IN MANY IN
DICTMENTS.

BAKER, Ore. March 10.--The
grand jury investigation at the COM
ing session. March 16. promises to
center around .Copperfield. with the
many cases which were limited at by
Governor West coming up for a
searching inquiry, District Attorney
Goodwin is said to have obtained some
conclusive evidence and several in
dictments are expected to result.
One Copperfield case, evidence in
which was provided by Colonel b. X,
Lawson when at Copperfield with the
militia. is against William Wiegand,
the Copperfield saloonman who is su-
ing Governor West for $4,000 for the
destruction of his business.
Colonel Lawson has been subpoen-
aed TO appear. The case is an out.
growth of Colonel Lawson's finding
in Wiegand's saloon alleged improper
pictures. and an indictment is to be
sought on these grounds.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-03-10

With the grand jury ir session and
the reported issuance of between 30
and 40 subpoenaes, there is much In
terest being manifested in that body
today. The interest arises principally
from the fact that charges of open
gambling, bootlegging and prostitu-
ton have been made publicly and were
followed by the organization OF a Law
and order league.
Despite the illness of Juror Jake
Hohbach. the jury went into session
this morning. Judge Phelps excused
Hohbach and in his stead C. S. Jerard
Of this city was selected. The Jury
Is thus composed of the following
seven men: Chairman NJ. l.. Akers of
Pendleton. r w. Brown of Weston.
John D. Rice Of Hermiston. S. r. Ed
wards of Adams. Henry Rosenberg of
Pendleton. James Kirk Of Freewater
and C. s. Jerard of Pendleton.
From the personnel of the witness
es called today, 1t is not believed that
the jury is now considering the charg-
es which have attracted wide atten-
ton. Several criminal cases are pend
ing and several old indictments have
been resubmitted to the jury.
Because of the presence Of . new
Juror. Judge Phelps this morning re-
charged the whole jury and. In ad-
dition to the regular instructions. gave
few special instructions which may
have been prompted by local con-
ditions.
"It is not important" he said in
part, who brings to your attention
facts which indicate that some Of the
laws are being violated nor is 1t inn
portant in what manner you get the
information. II is important that you
satisfy yourselves of the truth or fall
sity of the charges made. and then
act accordingly
Another part of the instructions
read. Under the law and your oath
you will indict no person through
envy. hatred or malice nor leave any
person not indicted through fear. IA
vor. affection or hope of reward. but
YOU will indict according to the truth
on the evidence before you.
There must be no compromise with
crime and IL matters not what the Of
fense may be nor who the offender
