expected to arrive in this city tomor
row to make an inspection of the
state penitentiary, the first since the

Injured His Fnther-in-Law.
Walla Walla, Feb. 14. J. A. Plout
was yesterday in court charged with
attempting to do bodily injury to his
father-in-law. H. A. Neinor. residing
in tills city. The case caused quite
an interest to be aroused in the par
ties, especially the wife of the de
fendant. Plout arranged to marry
Miss Neiner several years ago. He
procured a marriage license, but for
some reason never secured the sei vo
ices of a clergyman, as was shown on
the trial yesterday. The parents re
cently discovered the trick and took
Plout to task for it. The censure led
up to trouble, and the result was a
criminal prosecution. Plout is being
held in bonds by Justico Glassford.

GIVE MORE
BOXES
PENDLETON NEEDS
BETTER FACILITIEG.
Patrons Want Additional Fixtures in
the Postdffice and the Demand Is
Loud and Strong.
"What has become of that free de
livery promised Pendleton?"
This is a question that the East
Oregonian as well as many people
who are interested, would like to
have answered. For more than six
months have the residents of town
been expecting every day to hear that
their mall would be delivered at their
doors and that preparations would he
made to start the free delivery at
once. But, alas, the. waiting for a f'-v
days has developed into weeks and
the weeks into months, and free de
livery Is apparently no nenrer today
than It was In August of last year.
More than this, Postmaster Fell says
he does not look for any move being
made until about the first of line,
and he shakes his head conveying the
impression of doubt when he says it
will be established then.
Something should be done. The
present facilities at the postofilce arc
entirely inadequate to handle the bus
iness that conies through the office in
the way It is handled now and there
is a pressing need for enlargement.
It is impossible to get a mail box at
the office. Everything is full and
Postmaster Fell informed a reporter
last evening that he could dispose of
from 30 to 40 more private boxes,
were they In the ofhee. This certain
ly shows evidence of a pressing de
mand for more boxes. People want
boxes and they should be supplied.
There is not a postofilce In the state
of Oregon that is so cramped for
room and needs the placing of extra
facilities that the postofilce of Pen
dleton does, and somebody is making
a mistake in not remedying the short
age. The government Is losing
money it should have from the rent
of the boxes and the extra ones won! 1
cost very little to place them. It
would take no more expense to keQp
diem up after once pl.ic ,1 in Die of
fice than it does the limited amount
at the command of the postmaster
now. The same amount of clerk hire
would do the work much easier if
more men had private boxes, and it
would be much more satisfactory U,
the patrons of the office to be able to
get their own mail or be able to see
whether or not they had any with
out bothering the delivery window
clerk to look through a large bunch
of papers with the names, beginning
S." to get Mr. Smith's mail.
The excuse the officials have for
not urging the placing of additional
facilities is that free delivery has
been promised and w'im that is es
tablished it will do awav Kith the dr
mand for a great manv botes that
are used now, and the boxes will
only be used then by the country pca
ple and the present accommodations
will be ample to supply all. Por'
master fell says that unless free de
livery is started by the first of Juno
he will demand that more boxes be
placed in the office and possibly larg
er quarters will have to be obtained,
but tho people who have to put up
with the present facilities for accom
modating the patrons of the office are
impatient and want something done,
or a move made to do something be
fore June. If they can put up with
it until June they can put up with
it another six months and nossiblv
at that time the free delivery will be
no nearer than today. Pendleton is
growing and It is an outrage that'
with the government backing the I
postofilce it cannot be arranged to ac-
commodate every man and woman
who wants a private box out of which .
lie or she ran irn nml imt Mini., mnii '

at leisure without having to wait at
the delivery window for an hour be
fore they can get near enough to lie
waited upon.
LEAVING OUT NEWS.
Iowa Editor Talks Some on the Sub
ject. "Rarely a day passes that the Gute
City. Keokuk, Ia is not requested to
supress some Item of news, says that
paper. "If we may judge from their
lino of conduct in making such re
quest and their arguments in sup
port of them, many people seem to
think that tho suppression of news
is one of tho chief functions of tho
newspaper a sort of God-given priv
ilege that should bo-highly prized and
graciously and freely exercised on de
mandunmindful of the fact that it
is tho news a paper contains that
gives it a commercial value and
which it is in duty bound to supply
to Its customers for value received.
In not a few instances it haB happen
ed that those who are most insistent
that certain news affecting them
selves should bo kept out of tho pa
per were tho first to complain and
tho most Indignant at tho paper for
the failure to supply certalu othor
nows suppressed at tho Instance of
someone else. In a largo majority
of case speoplo who make such re
quests do not stop to consldor what it
Is thoy are asking or tho newspapers.
Thoy think only of their own inter
eats in the mattor, and do not take
Into consideration nil the factB of tho
case. These facts, which should nev
er bo overlooked, wore set forth at
some longth In an editorial in the
Burlington Hawkoyo recently. There
Is no difference between asking a
store not to sell an article and ask
ing a newspaper not to publish a
piece of nows, Tho cases aro exact
ly parallel, so far as tho unreason-
ableness of tho requests nro concorn
' ed. General recognition of this fact
I would deter many people from ask-
lug newspapers to break faith with
' their customers."
! JUDGE LOWELL LECTURED.
Spoke to the Normal School Students
at Weston.
Weston, Feb. 11. Last night Judge
S. A. Lowell, of Pendleton, lectured
in the normal school chapel on "Law
and Lawyers, Then and Now." The
speaker compared old time men and
methods with the present time con
ditions in the legal profession and
not always to the advantage of the
present day lawyers. A very good at
tendance was had and tho lecture was
well received. This Is the fifth lee
ture that has been given here this
winter, and all of them havebeen
good.
The snow is all gone from the vi
cinity of Weston and the rain has
been coming nearly all the time since
Sunday morning and the sp.rit of tho
wheat growers have been rising in
about the same degree that the wea
ther has been falling.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Surdon went to
Milton" yesterday to spend a fow days
with their daughter.
Mr. L. C. Preston went to Walla
Walla yesterday on business concern
ing his new wood cutter.
A point at Issue.
The freight rate on wheat from
Walla Walla to Portland Is 10 V cents
per bushel. From Arlington, Or., it
is DM- cents. From Biggs, only a few
miles above The Dalles, it is 8
cents. From The Dalles it Is AlA
cents. A difference of. about 100
miles between Arlington and Walla
Walla makes a difference In rate of
one cent. A difference of a few miles
between The Dalles and Biggs makes
a difference in rate of 4Vi cents. The
Dalles has water transportation
which forces the railroad rate, down
to something like a reasonable one
from the farmers' standpoint. Do a
little thinking on these propositions
and then do something besides think.

What It Is.
Advertising is the life blood of the
business world today, and well direct
ed advertising is like the powerful
searchlight of a river steamer, thrown
upon a distant cottage on the bank,
cutting it out like a picture painted on
a black canvas. The timid buyer and
the prospective industry will follow
the rays of the searchlight of public
ity, just as surely as will the eyes of
the steamer's passengers follow the
light thrown from their vessel. Thoy
will not search the surrounding gloom
for objects of interest when a beauti
ful picture is clearly shown before
them. Prospective buyers will not
search the surrounding gloom for
your competitors lr the searchlight of
publicity Is turned on your own place
of business. Canastota (N. Y.) Bee.
Representative Jones filed papers
with the public buildings committee
in support of the bill to increase the
limit of cost of the Seattle public
building to $1,000,000, and to appro
priate ?500,000 for the public building
at Spokane. Ho believes both bills
will pass at this session, particularly
the Seattle bill, as the department
assorts that a building of the size
necessary to accommodate the offices
cannot be erected for less" than $1,
000,000. Ho thinks the Tacoma bill
will also pass.
