My sympathies have been appealed

My sympathies have been appealed to in behalf of your family and friends and this appeal find it hard to resist. It must not be forgotten, however, that they are not the only ones calling for sympathy. The multitude of innocent depositors in savings banks in this state and elsewhere who are called upon to repose confidence in these institutions and their officers by entrusting to them their living for tomorrow, are entitled to the assurance that their hard earned savings will not be stolen by these officers, and that the state will protect them to the extent of it's authority and punish any such officer who dares to use their funds for his own private pur- poses. It is one of the inevitable con- sequences of crime that its punishment must necessarily fall upon the innocent family and friends. It is so in nearly every case.

Frank Marchella, age six years, is at the Norwalk hospital taking treatment as the result of peculiar and serious accident which occurred at his home Friday afternoon.

The High Cost of Drugs.

The Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association has brgun an important work through committee of publ city recently appointed, in keeping the public irfCrmed regarding the many and sensational advances in prices Of drugs and chemicals. Consumers of drugs who have not kept abreast ot the times insofar ns the drug situation is concerned have been very difficult cus toners for the drug store to handle. They have in isted, even in the face of convincing proof, that druggists are waxing rich, and are taking advantage of present conditions tn boost prices arbitrarily.
 That such is not the case. the com. mittee of publicity of the Penusy ylvania Pharmaceutical Association will ut. tempt to demonstrate for the benefit of the'public, thr pugh the local druggists and their newspapers. The first article sent out for publication was printed in many Pennsylvania newspapers, and no doubt had considerable effect in educating the public regarding the changed conditions in tho drug trade. This article says:
 The high cost of living has been a common topic of discussion for some time past, hut the high cost of being kept from dying, or even of just being sick, bids far to exceed it. The pres. ent high prices of drugs and chemicals have never been equaled even in the times of our own Civil War.
 The following list shows some of the more remarkable increases in price, comparing the prices of July 1914, at the time of the outbreak of the Euro. pean war, with the high point reached

Unable. apparently, to comprehend
the ability of Pendleton to raise
enough money to purchase more than
seven million votes for the election OF
her candidate for queen of the Rose
Festival, Corvallis is reported to have
raised the howl of "frame-up' and To
have communicated her 'peeve" to
Eugene.
Yesterday r. P. Richardson, man
ager of the festival contest wrote to
Pendleton asking for a statement OF
the money raised here and for other
information for publication to clear
up the false charges. Members Of
the committee in charge met yester-
day afternoon with Secretary Gran
ston of the Commercial Association,
who acted as manager, and prepared
a detailed statement of receipts and
disbursements, together with certain
explanations, This was forwarded last
evening.
The statement shows that there was
collected in all, during the campaign
1895 and that of this amount $12S6.S5
was spent for votes. The balance was
used for incidental expenses such as
postage, telegraph and telephone tolls
with the exception of $24 spent for
votes at the regular rate of one dot'
lar a thousand and $50 spent during
Button Week" at the rate Of 2OOC
votes for a dollar, all of the balance
or $l212.S5, was spent during the ter
days in which the special rate of 5000
for one dollar was offered The com
mlttee took a gamblers chance In
passing up the first special of 1000 fol
one dollar to wait for something bet
ter which they suspected would fol
low toward the end of the contest. AL
so the committee advanced the am
cunts which they considered woult
be taken In at the Bingham Springs
benefit and the second benefit dance
In order to place the money durint
the time OF the big OFFER They guess

would be received that there was

The charge of "frame-up" does no
sit well upon Pendleton after she ha
paid the price of her success. Tn
local committee feels that the contes
was conducted entirely ''on tn

COUNTY COMPLETE, LEAVE THE
STANDINGS PRACTICALLY SAME

No changes in election races in
this county have been made by the
late returns coming in and none are
expected, save that the majorities of
winning candidates will be increased
little or decreased little.
Complete returns have been recelv-
ed by the East Oregonian on the re-
publican primaries from IS out Of the
64 precincts. Returns on the demo-
cratic races have been received but
from 81 precincts and on the road
bonds but from 49, Many of the cleo
ton judges made the mistake of lock-
ing all of their statements up in the
boxes and at the county clerks office
hardly more than half OF the returns
can be secured until an order from
the court unlocks the boxes Many
or the missing precincts have been
reached by the East Oregonian by tel
ephone but a few Of the outlying ones
could not be communicated with.
County Clerk Sailing will probably

and win be assisted by Justice Of the
