AT Orange ribbon was the color anil "Zip boom bee" the slogan at Wal lowa lake last week when the O. A. C. alumni association of Wallowa county held Its annual picnic and re union at that beautiful place. The Wallowa lake region is the "Switzerland of America" and never was It more attractive than during the time of the reunion. The meet lasted from Thursday evening until Saturday morning and 24 O. A. C. people and a' few invited guests en Joyed the occasion. Friday forenoon the trip to the falls was mude, and at noon the students and graduates took lunch at that scenic spot. In the afternoon a ball game was played on the diamond at the head of the lake and proved an exciting contest. It was between the young men and young ladies and strange to say the girls won a victory by a score of eight to five. It Is only fair to the young men, however, to say that some based decisions were given by the umpire. Friday evening a banquet was serv ed In the dining room of the hotel at the lake and plates were laid for 24. Following the repast brief talks were made by A. E. Tully, president of the Wallowa association and by E. B. Aldrich, editor of the East Oregonian, who is president of the state alumni association and was a guest of the Wallowa association. Following the banquet a launch ride was taken upon the beautiful Wallowa lake and It furnished a fit ting climax to the reunion. At the annual business meeting of the Wallowa association. A. E. Tully was reelected as president and It was voted to hold next year's reunion at the lake also and upon tne same date as this year's.

WoimIcii Gun I'scd In Jail Breaking Is Marvelous Invention. Washington. An omnious looking "gun," one of those long-bnrreled, 44 caliber revolvers that figure In fron tier tales, has come to the Department of Justice as a memento of the es cape of several prisoners, a short time ago, from the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. It reposes on the desk of one of the officials and Is naturally a subject of comment by visitors. The custodian of the dead ly "hardware" responds by picking It up and pointing It carelessly at the Inquiring visitor, who ducks and pro tests vigorously against being obliged to look Into the yawnln barrel. Then he Is allowed to handle the gun, and finds that It is made of wood. It Is, however, a marvelous Imitation of a real man-killer. With wonderful skill every detail of a re volver has been reproduced and It NEEDFCL KNOWLEDGE. rcndleton Teople Should Learn to Dctoct the Approach of Kidney Disease. The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, lrregulrr of pssage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back nchea constantly headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim Is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg'ect of these warnings and there Is danger of dropsy, Brlght's disease or diabetes. Any one of these symp toms Is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal. Tou can u?e no better remedy than Doan's Kidney rills. Here's Pendle ton proof: S. P. Hutchinson, proprietor of feed store, 1610 W. Webb street, Pendle ton, says: "I was annoyed by a dull pain below my kidneys and at times the secretions from my kidneys were retarded. Since learning of Doan'si Kidney Pills, I have used them and they have always brought me relief from troubles of this kind. I am pleased to give this preparation my endorsement."

In the prison break at Leavenworth half a dozen prisoners captured a locomotive and a string of cars that were being delivered In the grounds of the penitentiary. Three wooden revolvers, like the one sent here, were used to intimidate the train crew. The scheme worked to the extent that the prisoners escaped from the penl tfiitlary grounds but nearly all of them were quickly recaptured. The trainmen could not be con vinced that they had been fooled with wooden guns. "That was no toy that was poked at me," was the emphatic statement o' a brakeman. "It was cold steel." MliKHTV Olt DEATH IS DEMANDED HY CIIINESE Peking. There Is nt present here In Peking an assembly of delegates .from various provinces, eIoted by the provincial assemblies. With them are also representatives from Chi nese communities abroad, from Aus tralia, the Philippines, Hawaii, Inro China, and other place where the Chinese are more enlightened, as a result of living under foreign gov ernments, and where In consequence revolutionary organization have de veloped. The purpose of this assembly which Is being watched closely by the government Is to obtain from the throne a decree proclaiming a na tional parliament. Eight of them are reported to have sworn.ln their pe culiar Chinese fashion, that they will kill themselves If the Prince Regent again refuses to grant their petition while the whole number vow that they will not again show their faces to their people that Is to say, they will not return to their provinces until the regent assents. At the present moment, Indeed, a peculiar situation prevails In China. It may erystallze at any moment In to open revolt against Us dynasty, al though It seems unlikely to do so. The movement Is largely antl-forelgn. The mass of the Chinese believe that their greatest enemy Is the foreigners the European, the American, and the Japanese, who are all classed to gether. The production, and sale of opium Is being stamped out. Young men are being sent abroad to England, Germany, America, Japan and other countries for terms of four and six years in modern schools and colleges. They return, almost without excep tion, hostile to the existing govern ment, which sent them away. To sum up, dissatisfaction Is rife, and hostil ity to the Manchu Is Intense.

Robin Fletcher, the circulation manager of the East Oregonian, has been in this city the last few days en deavoring to establish the carrier ser vice of his paper In this place. Mr. Fletcher met with very good success and the patrons of this city will get their paper within two or three hours after It is printed as it will come up on the evening train and be distribut ed throughout the town. This is a great aid to the many renders of the East Oregonian, for heretofore they had to wait until morning before read ing their evening paper. ' The United States postal Inspector I was In this city this morning and made his annual inspection of the lo cal office. From all reports the post office In this city is In a very flour ishing condition and consequently his report will show no decrease In busi ness. The school board of this city met a day or two ago and elected Miss Forman eighth grade teacher of this district. Miss Forman Is formerly of Salem, having taught last year In Hermlston. She comes to the board with the highest of recommendations and she will no doubt strengthen the teaching crops here next fall very much.

Though a good deal of grumbling Is still heard among Hie public, the story of Indignation raised bv the pope's recent encyclical re flection on the "princes and peoples" of Luther's time can be regarded as having nearly died out.

Former state fairs of Oregon have become famous through out the country as among the leaders of annual state exhibitions of stock and agricultural products, but tha Oregon state fair to be held In Salem this year, September 12 to 17, Inclu sive, promises to eclipse all former successes in this state and pass Into mistory as one of the best, if not the best, state fairs in America. The endeavors of the board of di rectors and secretary to embody in the grounds everything possible for the edification of the stock raiser, agriculturist and department for the women, not alone the carnival fea tures and horse races, are bearing fruit inasmuch as entry lists in every department are rapidly filling up and future prospects are that the 1910 show will contain more tha never be fore. Transportation facilities will also be far more adequate than in pre vious years, more trains are running into the city and a new street rail way system will greatly add to the comfort of the throngs visiting the fair. Again, sleeping and eating ac commodations have been greatly im proved. The new Hotel Marion will be completely finished In time for the opening day, also several new room ing houses and restaurants are being operated here. In fact the state is doing everything for its citizens and 1 the city of Salem matching the state j in endeavors for the pleasure and ! comfort of state fair visitors. KESTS WITH El'GENE TO SECERE OREGON ELECTRIC It rests solely with the people of Eugene as to when the Oregon Elec tric will begin work on an extension of its Salem line to the southern Wil lamette valley and into their city, says the Portland Journal. John F.. Stevens, head of the Hill lines in Oregon, said today that the Oregon Electric "will inevitably" en ter Eugene and tap the southern end of the valley, but that it is up to the people of that city when It will do so. There came a report from Eugene today that arrangements had been made by the Oregon Electric to get a franchise over the streets of that city, but if it Is true Mr. Steves didn't know it. He said if the people of that city want the road they can have it, thereby giving official confirma tion to the reports that he Hill In tercMs are preparing to further invade Harriman territory. Eugene, so goes the story, is pretty badly tied up with franchises. Some Every Business Institution Uses Stationery of some sort successful tirms demand CORRECT Does your present printing satisfy you? Do you think that it will create the impression with your correspondents that you wish it to? LOOK IT OVER; THINK IT OVER If you wr.nt 4 I if Largest Job I j V 2T time ago a franchise was given the Lane County Asset company, which promised to- begin work this fall. Then A. Welch went after a franchise, and when the Oregon Electric, backed by Hill interests, applied for a fran chise, it didn't find the people es pecially enthusiastic. Officials of the Oregon Electric suggest that the road Is ready to be gin work at once if the Eugene peo ple come to terms, which is probably true, for the Hill interests usually do not suffer delay once their plans are Jaid. Through the city of Albany, In to which the Eugene extension from Salem will runn, franchises have been procured, and the only obstacle Is that laid in. the way by Eugene. Mr. Stevens' frank admission that the Oregon Electric wants to build to Eugene serves to fan away a mist of doubt which rose when reports that Hill and Harriman Interests had come to a compromise in western Oregon were circulated. It proves that the Hill lines are going In for the business In Oregon on a scale lar ger If anything than their opponents. The Salem extension of the Ore gon Electric to Eugene probably will run when it Is built almost directly s nith from the capital city to Al bany, along the line proposed by the company before it was taken over by Hill. RELIEVE TIDE CONTROLS FLOW OF GREAT GEYSER San Francisco, Cal. Is the flow of the great Lakevlew geyser of central California controlled by the tides of the Pacific? That is a question that Is puzzling engineers and scientists since it was noticed recently that the volume of oil discharged by this world-famous spouter varied at dif ferent times of the day. Engineers believe they have found a solution of the phenomenon In the fact that Ihe fluctuations in the flow of the great gusher are coincident with the t-bb and flow of the tides of the Pacific ocean that the inky flu Id spouts In greater volume at high tide and diminishes considerably at low tide. If this theory is correct, It strength ens the contention of many scientists that the vast deposits of petroleum underlying California were once great Inland seas, and that there still Is connection between the Pacific ocean and these subterranean seas of com bustible fluid. The Lakevlew gusher Is 1600 feet below the level of the Santa Barbara channel and 60 miles distant. Re spite this distance, engineers have discovered that the flow of the gush er is directly affected by the tides. The torrent of oil increases with high tide and decreases with low tide, but Just what the ratio of increase and decrease Is has not been determined, although the difference is manifest. According to geologists, the wash of the sea has had much to do with the deposit of petroleum in the so-called oil sands, it being found in zones as if cast up by the tides. As proof of this contention, shell fish, star fish, mammoth oyster shells and sharks' tfeth have been found in the oil sands of many fields in this state. The Lakevlew gusher was tapped on March 15 last, since which time it has flowed from 40.000 to 60,000 barrels daily. The well came In at a depth of 2200 feet but has long since developed Into an Immense oil crater, the extent of which no man can tell. What will happen if the Lakevlew continues to emit its tremendous tor rent of liquid fuel until the supply is exhausted is a question that hns caus ed alarm among timid folk residing in the region of the spouter, who fear that the waters of the Pacific ocean may break forth and flood the whole San Joaquin valley. oil fields. surge; lion -i !es printing, pnon -a Phone Main 1 Printing Plant in Eastern Oregon MOTHERS WHO HAVE DAM1TE' Find Help in Lydia E.
