BAKER CITY. May 29. Considerable
excitement, was created today -when Jt be
came known that the ballots lor the elec
tion next Monday were ?jot yet In the
-Jiands of the printer. The contract "was
awarded a few days ago, but the material
for the work has not yet arrived, and it
Is coneidecred doubtful that the ballots can
"be printed In time for distribution on elec
tion day.
Telegrams were sent this afternoon to
have the material transferred from the
freight cars and forwarded by express. It
is now In the freight depot in Portland,
and unless sent as -requested will not ar
rive here for two or three days. The work
takes several days, and aa the office to
which the contract has been awarded is
entirely unprepared for the emergency, it
is believed to be impossible to have the
ballots ready in time for distribution to
outside precincts, to some of which it will
take 40 hours to deliver by pecial car
rier. The contract calls for the printing of
Si,O0O ballots, and the state Jaw requires
that they shall be in the hands of the
Sheriff for distribution five days previous
to the election. If the consignment is
forwarded as ordered today, the material
will arrive tomorrow afternoon.
The Campaign In Laae Coiiaty,
EUGENE, May 29. Election supplies
have been delivered by the Sheriff to the
various precincts throughout the county
for next Monday's election. Judging from
the registration of electors, the vote is
expected to be a heavy one. It Is esti
mated that the vote will, however, fall
somewhat short of the number registered.
The number who will register on election
day is not expected to equal the number
who have registered, but will not vote.
The Joint canvassers of the county are
billed for Eugene next Saturday, which
will close the campaign. There has been
less enthusiasm this season than is cus
tomary in a campaign, and it is reported
from all partd of the county that practi
cally no votes are being changed either
way by the Joint canvass. The Republi
can and Fusion committees have received
reports from all precincts, and the Re
publicans claim their whole ticket will be
elected. The Fuslonlsts claim a portion of
the ticket, but make their claims In a
manner which Indicates some doubt

DEMAND BETTER SERVICE
0OO8 BAT WAISTS CLOSER COJfSJCC
TIOW "WITH PORTLAND.
"Wejaia Prefer to Give Its Patroaaire
te Oregon City .if Traasporiatiaa
Facilities Were Aaeqaate.
MARSHFIELD, Or., May 29. TBs Cooe
Bay country(wJU demand better steamer
service from Portland or transfer Its en
tire business to San Francisco. The pres
ent service has at no time been adequate,
and with the most prosperous times in
the history of this section it grows more
wretched. The steamer Del Norte'Js the
only boat plying between Coos Bay and
Portland, and Its trips are limited to one
every two weeks, with passenger accom
modations at the extreme low number or
25. For several trips past 20 to 30 pas
sengers have been turned away, many of
whom take a steamer to San Francisco,
and change the route of their Journey to
Easterp cr other points out of the state.
Last .year over 3000 passengers landed In
and went out of Marshfleld via San Fran
cisco, at least one-fourth of whom came
from the states over the Southern Pacific,
Inotcad of going over to railroads to Port
land. Statistics show how many thousands
of tons of freight go In and out of Marsh
field east and west through the states
over the Southern Pacific via San Fran
cisco. San Francisco merchants fully Teallzo
the business importance of this section,
and for many years have maintained an
excellent line of steamers to this port
Business men are almost compelled to
trade with the California metropolis, al
though fully cognizant of the fact that
by so dolifg they pay heavy tribute, from
which they would be exempt in Portland,
by reason of its Eeveral competing trans
continental railroads. A fair trial con
vinces the most skeptical that Portland
Is by great odds the best market on the
Pacific Coast
This section not only has urgent need
for, but demands' a steamer between Port
land and Marchfield, with a capacity of
not leas than 300 o 400 tons, to hold the
business of Coos County for Portland,
with accommodations for not less than 50
or CO passengers.
Besides Marshfleld, which supplies Co
qullle. Myrtle Point and Bandon, not less
than nine other places, like Tillamook,
alonp the Coast should be visited by one
or two smaller steamers.
No section of the state possesses more
numerous and valuable resources than the
Coos Bay country and Its tributaries. At
present It is noted for its Immense output
of coal, fruit, lumber and dairy pro
ducts Its development has but com
menced, however, as a comparison of Its
Industrial record will strikingly prove.
Portland Is entitled to the large volume
of business accruing from this section,
and its people are anxious that It be to
bestowed. The matter could be easily
arranged. A steamer to Coos Bay from
Portland, not from Portland to San Fran
cisco and way ports, would supply the
means. The run direct can be made In a
little over 12 hours, and with prompt
and regular service the trade and pas bon
ger traffic between this section and Port
land would at once assume Immense pro
portions. RUST IX WHEAT FIELDS.
Kot Shown Whether It Will Be an
Injury or a Benefit to the 'Crop.
PENDLETON, Or., May 29. The first
injury which has been reported to the
wheat crop .this year Is now aid to be
the presenceI some rust In the places
where tlw'feljture Is greatest Some
farmers arajjjjilhiing tbat the rust so far
is seen qnlyjjlthe leaves, and that If
it is not goraatujgeated to the stalk it will
be moref"j5gbeseflt than an Injury, be
cause It &&& to stop too rank growth
that has-Nypijpatlalned and cause tho
strength to'sent into the stalk, thus In
suring better flljlne. The very abundant
rains that have prevailed all through the
eeason have induced "a remarkable heavy
stand of grain, which. If properly filled,
will give an enormous yield. Harvest
ing is expected to begin In about two
weeks In the country to the north and
west of Pendleton, and two weeks or a
little more In other parts. Every one Is
getting out hls machinery, and prepara.
tlons ore being made to. gather the big
gest crop ever harvested In this county.
Warehouse room may be somewhat scarce,
on account of the large amount of gram
.yet held from form.er crops.
Grnln Bnprs Are High.
Grain bags are now quoted here at
cents apiece. The farmers are consid
erably interested in the arrival of tho
Wendur, from Calcutta, due at Portland
soon after the 1st of June, which is to
bring the supply of bags for the Inland
Empire. A year ago the delay In the ar
rival of the Macduff occasioned a stiff
rise in the price, and quite a good, many
farmers were compelled to pay as mucl)
as S or 9 cents for their season's sup
ply.
Will Feed Wheat to Hok.
Quite a number of farmers of this
county will feed wheat to hogs this Fall,
In the event that the market price be
less than 45 cents per bushel. It is claimed
that wheat fed to hogs at present 'prices
for pork on the hoof will net about 50
cents a bushel. Comparatively a small
portion of the crop could thus bo disposed
of, since annually 5.0M 003 bushels t are
raised In Umatilla County. The move
ment to bring In more hogs, however, 4s
a permanent one, and lStPartof the gen
eral 'move for greater diversification ot
crops.
Athletes to Compete.
The athletic team of the Pendleton High
School will go to Weston to compete on
Saturday against the team of the East
ern Oregon Normal School. It will be
on the occasion of the annual reunion
of the Pioneers' Association of thto coun
ty. The Pendleton team recently won the
silver cup put up for the greatest num
ber of points In the total score.
Tho reunion Is to last throughout
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and .will
bring to that town a great many people
from all parts of the county. On Satur
day representatives of all the political par
ties will be present and address the as
sembled crowds. Elaborate preparations
have been made to entertain an immense
number of people. These reunions have
heretofore been highly successful.

WHY JAPANESE I3I3IIGRATIOX
Special Inquiry In Belngr Made at
Paget Sound.
TACOMA. May 29. A special board of
Inquiry, composed of ' Collector W. A.
Fairweather, chairman: Deputj Collector
S. W. De Laccy and Robert Watchhorn.
special supervising immigration Inspector,
who Is in Tacoma "rom Washing
ton for the , express purpose cf
Inquiring into the sudden immigra
tion of Japanese to this Coast,
worked from 7 o'clock last night until mid
night, passing on 71 Japanese who had' been
rejected by Immigration Inspector Walker
on the steamship Glenogle. Out of this
number the beard-rejected 50 of them out
right This Is by far the largest number
ever rejected out of a single shipment to
the Sound.
Nineteen of the remaining 21 came dan
gerously near being rejected also. They
were allowed to land only upon the Japan
ese Consul giving his guarantee that they
would obtain employment within the next
GO days. Some of the 50 Japanese were re
jected because they had infectious diseases.
One had consumption. Others were re
jected because It appeared that they were
contract laborers. Only two out of the en
tire 71 passed the examination natlsfactor
lly. The G!enogIe brought 35S Japanese to
Tacoma on this trip and the percentage of
rejections was unusuhlly large.
The Japanese missionary In Tacoma,
who makes. It his business to find employ
ment for the Japanese Immigrants, ad
mitted to the examining board that there
are now 3C0 Japanese In Taccma out of
employment Inspector Snyder, of Seattle,
says there are 400 Japanese out of work In
that city. .Another thfag brought out In
the Investigation s that more than three
times as many Japanese are landed In Vic
toria as are brought to the Sound ports.
When the news reaches Japan that 50
Japanese out of a single shipment have
boen rejected lr Tacoma. the next ship
that comes will likely unload the entire lot
In 'Victoria, and let them take chances of
crossing the line In small bodies. If they
are caught they cannot be sent back any
.farther thanl-Vlctoria. whereas If they are
rejected In Tacoma. they must go back to
Japan. The- Glenocie is due to sail on
Wednesday, so the Japanese will have but
little time to appeal their cases to Wash
ington, should they so desire.

THE STOMACH THE VITAL CENTER.
No man is stronger than his stomach. The average man measures his
physical vitality hy his heart, his kidneys, or his lungs. Earely does he take his
stomach into consideration when he casts up the account of health. Let his heart
action he "weak, his kidneys he disordered, and he runs at once to a doctor. But
his stomach seems to have no rights he is hound to respect. Anything will do for
the stomach. Yet the stomach is to the hody what the foundation is to the house,
the "basis of support and strength. Whatever hurts his stomach and impairs
its powers hurts every other organ of the body and impairs their powers. When
disease obtains a hold on the stomach and the allied organs of digestion and nutri
tion, it stretches out its tentacles to grapple and involve one organ after another
until heart and lungs, kidneys and liver, may all be involved. Why is this? The
body is sustained by food wnich is converted into nutrition in the stomach and
conveyed to the several organs in the form of blood. Let disease impair the
power of the stomach and it impairs the power of every organ, because it reduces
both the quantity and quality of their nutrition. For this reason cures of the
stomach and nutritive and digestive systems by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery are almost invariably followed by cures of other organs involved
with the stomach. A great many people who have "doctored1' for years for disease
of heart, liver, kidneys, or lungs, have at last been impelled to use Dr. Kerce's
Golden Medical Discovery for stomach " trouble," and have found to their astonish
ment and happiness that with the cure of the diseased stomach the heart "trouble"
ceases, the torpid liver becomes active, the kidneys healthy and the lungs strong.
There is only one way of making physical strength and that is by food. The man
weak from starvation needs fooct not medicine. THs heart nutters weakly, his
breath comes in gasps. Feed him. and he is soon strong again. When the stom
ach and organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the organs dependent on
them slowly starve. These organs don't need medicine, they need food. By curing
diseases of the stomach and the digestive and nutritive systems, " Golden Medical
Discovery" enables the thorough nourishment of the body, by food properly
digested and perfectly assimilated.
Accent no substitute for Dr. 'Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. JNTo other
medicine is "just as good" for diseases, of the stomach and diseases of other organs
originating in a diseased condition of the stomach and its alMed organs.

"Have taken Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery and it did
me more good than anything I
could get," writes Mrs. Julia A.
Willcox, of Cygnet, Wood County,
Ohio, Box 52. "I doctored with
three different doctors for weak
heart, but they did me no good.
I was so tired and discouraged if I
had had my choice to live or die I
would have preferred to die. My
husband heard of ' Golden Medical
Discovery,' and he bought a bot
tle. I took that, and the first half
seemed ta help me. I took six
bottles before I stopped. I am.
perfectly well and am cooking for
boarders (I have six), and am tak
ing in washing besides. I will
truly say I think your medicine
will do all that it is recommended
to do, and more. It has been a
godsend to me."
