Mrs. Weatherred occupies a position
iu this state which gives her an op
portunity to know Its exact needs.
She urges the Citizens of Umatilla
county and Eastern Oregon to hurry
up their contributions to the perma

i country. The demand for Information
ion the state of Oregon, stimulated by
I the Lords and Clark fair project is
unprecedented.
I The citizens of this county should
make a special effort to place the
'choicest selections fiom out products
on exhibit with the Harrlman people.
This great bureau of Information Is
doing a wonderful work for Oregon.

Tho power of the United States is
great enough to crush out the patri
otic sentiment of the Filipinos in less
than 100 years. Hut the cost will be
tremendous. General Chaffee speaks
trom the military point of view and ho
bases his opinion on existing condi
tions. Doubtless, with such an effort
and such a sacrifice as tho American
people put forth to save tho union 3G
years ago. we may be able to subju

the grand Jury knows there are 10,000
to 15,000 car loads of coal, hidden
away In the great side tracks, owned
-by the railroad and coal barons, who
are holding the supply for higher
prices.
This coal was "spirited" out of Chi
cago by night, when the fuel famine
first forced the authorities to investi
gate Uie scarcity of coal.
The companies swore one afternoon
tlat no coa! supply existed; that there
was none to be obtained; at that mo
ment, the sworn testimony of citizens
and detectives proves that there were
1000 cars of coal standing on different
yards in Chicago.
Seeing the "disgrace" of a charge
for perjury staring them in the face,
the coal companies ordered this sup
ply moved out of the city during the
night, so when court convened next
morning, they could snap their fingers
in the peoples' face.
Coal has been accumulating in these
side tracks day by day, until there are
now between 10.000 and 16,000 cars
