Dave Voungchief, a Umatilla Indian. was dragged to death in a runaway about midnight Saturday night east of Pendleton on the road to the asrencv. The body stripped nearly naked, was found early Sunday morning by Henry Biment, a rancher who was going borne from Pendleton. . Youngchief came to Pendleton with a buggy and team and got intoxicated. He started home late with another Indian who has notvtt been found,. It is supposed the Indian's foot got caught in the lines. , .,. ' EIGHT MILLION BEICK. . Mayor XeUon Returo and .Wilt Double the Output of Hl Yard. H. B. Nelson, Weston's mayor, ar rived home Saturday from his six weeks' visit in the east. Mr. Nelson came west over the Union Pacific on a train of 14 cars, the passenger coaches being filled with emigrants, which shows that the trend of travel is in the game direction as the Star of Empire, says the Weston Leader. Mr. Nekton comments upon the evi- 11 ..,gMk ! We have just received a car of Barb and Woven Wire Fencing. Get dences of prosperity which he met with everywhere .; while absent. Excellent business conditions seemed to prevail in all the cities visited. He stopped at Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Col umbus, Dayton and a large number of smaller cities, all of which were growing and on the move. At Bellefontain, his old home town in Ohio, he found goodly business buildings on the ground where he plowed when a boy. At Delaware, O., Mr. Nelson unex pectedly met Miss Ethel Royal, daught er of the Normal's ex-president, who is attending Wesleyn College from Olym- pia, Wash. She was one of 210 young ladies with whom he had the pleasure of dining. At Dayton, O., Mr. Nelson bought a machine for making "front brick" to improve his plant at the Weston yard. He saw no better "common brick" on his entire trip than are made right here at Weston. He expects to double the capacity of his yard this year, wh'ich means that about 8,000,000 brick will be made this season as against 4,000,000 in 1902. Many large orders are in pros pect.

New shelving is being put in clear to the ceiling on both sides of the store room and new counters are be ing added.Increase in trade and the demand far a larger stock of goods than heretofore handled, make these improve ments necessary. , CALEDONIANS WILL HOLD PICNIC FOR TWO DAYS Place to be Determined Though Athe na is Favored. The Umatilla County Caledonian Society met on Saturday evening pur suant to a call of President A. M. Gillie, for the purpose of electing officers for the nsuing year, and transaction of such other business proper to come be fore the society It was decided by unanimous vote of the members present to hold a two days' picnic the latter part of May, the place to be determined later, however, those voicing their, sentiments in the matter were favorable to Athena, and it will depend largely on tho support tendered by the citizens of the town as to whether Athena secures the picnic or . not. No pains or expense will be spared to make it a "howling" success. Officers were elected as follows: Preident, A B. McEwen; vice-presidents, Alex McRae, Pendleton; John McEwen, Milton; Horace Walker, Helix;. Robt. Jamieson, Weston; Malcolm Mclntyre, Adams. Treas., Chas. McLean; secre tary, A. W. Botkin. The next meeting will be held at the town hall on Saturday evening, March 14th. All members of the society and Scotchmen are requested to be present, TALKING A SIX CLUB LEAGUE. Towns of the Huthat DUcuHalng the Cowing Hon. At a base ball meeting in Pendleton Tuesday night it was decided to write to several towns to ascertain the base ball sentiment for spring, says the Spokes- i n 11 y tie yinri CANTON and DUTCHMAN our prices before buying atiila Implement man-Review correspondent. Leon C6hen manager of last year's team, will handle the correspondence. The prevailing sentiment seems to lean toward a six club league of evenly balanced towns with a salary limit that would not be beyond the smallest. From $700 to $800 is suggested as a salary limit, and the towns suggested are Pendleton, Walla Walla, Dayton, Ellensburg, North Yakima and Ritzville. It cost too much money for base ball both in Pendleton and Walla Walla last year to encourage either town to at tempt to put as heavy a team in the field as it had then. Most of the enthusiasts want to see the home boys given a chance, rather than have first class young fellows imported at modern sal aries. The cruel salary list of last season hit base ball hard in the Inland Empire league. In addition, Ihe difference in the playing season id Baker, La Grande and Pendleton precludes the first named towns from getting into a league with Pendleton and Walla Walla. A series lasting from about April 15 to July 10 is wanted in Dayton, Walla Walla and Pendleton. La Grande and Baker can not conform to that. Walla Walla will have a ball team thib year. This was practically decided upon yesterday at a meeting of several of the directors and other members of the old club. The .proviso is a salary limit of $650, which with a team of 10 men means an average salary of $05 per month. COOD VOTE POLLED IN CITY ELECTION Voters to the Number of 115 Cast Their Ballots Tuesday. Although Tuesday, municipal election day in Athena, resembled Iowa winter weather and gave good excuse for stay-at-homes, and further, in face of . the fact that but one ticket was in the field, a goodly number of votes were polled, the total number being 115. Under these conditions it is evident that the voters have confidence in the integrity and ability of the men com prising the one ticket, in the fleldOf the 115 votes cast the candidates re ceived the following: For Mayor Dsvid Taylor, 104. y For; CouncUinen-T. J. Kirk, 111; C. A.Barrett, 110; G. W. Gross, 107; Ed. Manasse,103; W.: M. Tompkins, 109. For TreasurerG. C. Onburn, 105. For Peorder0. G. Chamberlain, 104. . . "The World I Mloe." "The world is mine!" are the words spoken when the climax is reached in the play Monte Christo. ' "The whole cheese belongs to us," is the way it was put up to Weston property owners last week, when a Mr. Daley and one Mc Laughlin claimed ownership to about everything in sight, excepting the plant of the Weston Leader. Doubtless they would have claimed Wood's Franklin county ranch, had someone put tbetn wise, for the claimants own a good por tion of the Pacific Northwest, including a generous slice of Portland-in their minds The Press has yet to hear of a Weston property owner vacating.

LANDS ARE PUYALLUPS. To Sell, t.ene, ICiieumber , or Lotto a They Pitman. Athena, as well as all other towns adjacent to Indiun reservations, willbs Interested in knowing that there will be no sale of lands in the Puyallup Indian reservation, although one had been ad vertised. There will be none on any further cay, for the authorities at Wash ington have just decided that the act of March 3, 1893, by which the com mission was created, has expired by limitation, so far as it applies to the alloted lands, and that hereafter the' Puyallups may sell, lease, encumber and lose their lands for taxes just as white people may. All restrictions 'are removed, and all the treaty obligations have been fulfilled. The Puyallup is now a man and a brother, and may do what he pleases with his own. The lands are now taxable, and at least 3 street car companies will be asking the county commissioners for franchises to the tide flats within a year. f
