HA WE BELIEVE IN DOCTORS We bolieve that every man when he is sick should call a doc tor, and not try to "doctor" himself. We believe there would be far less sickness far better health if everybody would do everythinR possible to co operate with doctors in taking better care of their health. We believe that the best way, always, is to have a doctor sec what the matter is, and write a prescrip tion for it, and then have a reliable druggist prepare the medicine according to the prescription. :- :- : Prescriptions our Specialty. Accuracy and Purity of Drugs Boyond Question BROCK & McCOMAS CO. Pendleton DRUGGISTS Oregon MONDAY, MAY t, 1903. When tho East lightens with strnnKO hints of morn, Tho first tinge or tho growing glory takes, The cold crown of some husht high nip forlorn, While yet o'er vnles below tho dark Is spread! I R ven so, the dawlng Age, In alienee breaks, 0, solitary soul, on thy still head! And wo that watch below with reverent rear, Seeing thee crowned, do know that day Is near. Owen Meredith. secret In this mntter. Tho assessors who nttended tho conference and de elded upon a uniform basis, can not keep tho final result of their actions from the people. There is need of more uniformity In taxation through out Oregon. TJiero Is need of higher values and more diligent search for taxable property that escapes all taxes. Property owners and assess ore should discuss values openly and publicly and the tendency to mako secrets out of public Issues will not redound to the credit of any of the parties concerned. INJUSTICE IN FREIGHT RATES. TJio I'endleton public school ques tion Is still unsettled. Tho season Is passing. What will you do? Within tho past two years 200,000 Americans havo settled on wheat lands In Canada. The American sen timent across the line will ripen that great country for nnnoxntlou within n few years. If General Punston exhibits tho some courage and tact In bunting and punishing government timber pirates that he used In fighting Filipinos, the department of the Columbia will soon bo rid of one of Its most objectiona ble class of criminals, Tho WlllnmettP valley papers are giving considerable space to the mis representations of the corporation tool, W. C. Cowglll, who is working to keep in Industrial bondage the people of Eastern Oregon. The Wlllametto valley papers should remember that Eastern Orogon Is undeveloped today on account of the lack of cheaper transportation for their products. In stead of trying to defeat the I'ortago road, Oregon should join hands in its construction, for It means tho settle ment of idle lands that will add to the wealth of the state, help pay tho enor mous tax bill and complete tho civili zation that must come sooner or later. in Eastern Oregon no one is deceived Jy this abject tool. " The Portland Federated Trades will ask for a referendum vote on tho .wls and Clark Fair appropriation. Willie there is no doubt about the overwhelming sentiment In Oregon in favor of the fair, tho hostility of nny class of people Is to bo deplored. There Is such a thing as tho labor unions losing much of the sympathy they havo gained. They can not expect to win nny of their points by striking n blow nt Portland. Portland comprises but a small portion of the area or popula tion of Oregon and tho tradesmen who hopo to "get oven" on that city by defeating a matter of vital Import ance to the entire state and North west, will sacrifice much of that high esteem in which they and their cause are now held. Mrs. Edyth Tuzler Weuthcrred, who has spent tho past week in Eastern Oregon, organizing the women for active work for the fair, has accom plished n world of good In that line. Tho people of Oregon are fortunate in having one so thoroughly familiar with exposition work to take tho lead. Sho has aroused an Interest amopg tho school children, farmers and far mers' wives In the matter of making a credltnblo agricultural exhibit, that will bear fruits. Of all tho departments of the Lowls and Clark Fair, tho agricultural and horticultural departments should bo most luxuriantly decorated with Ore gon products. The press of Eastern Oregon Is leading n ready haud to Mrs. Wleatherred's effort, Tho Daker City, La Qrando and Union papers nil apeak in tho highest prals'o of her work In thoso localities. Too much can not be said In support of her diligent la- !J)or, rraoe iof assessors hold itheiJnvlta The Gieat Northern Railroad charges 30c per barrel for hauling Hour from .Minneapolis to Seattle, distanco of 2000 miles, and charges .19 cents per barrel for hauling It from Spokane to Seattle, a distance of 2S0 miles. Competition saves the consumer from wholesale robbery in this In stance. From Minneapolis to Seattle there arc at least half a dozen routes by which flour can bo shipped and consequently the freight rate is fixed by the pressure of competition. From Spokane to Seattle flour must be hauled over one of two Hues and both these lines, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific are members of the Northern Securities Company, and there are no competitive freight rates, The shipper is nt the mercy of tho merger nnd must pay seven times the rate collected where there is healthy competition. i Is there need of future argument against the railroad merger? Wns over such bold robbery practiced in a civilized community? This condition of affairs is what will hurry 'up government ownership. This unjust freight rate is what breeds and nurtures a constant hos tility to corporations. The people are accused of showing radical and un compromising hatred to railroad companies. Under the pressure of such Injustice, can they bo expected to entertain any other sentiments? In Oregon, there Is nu example of unfair freight charges, which has been openly and vehemently censur ed by shippers for the past 20 years. From Arlington to The Dulles, a distance of 54 miles, tho rate on wheat Is 11 cents per hundred. From The Dalles to Portland, a. dis tance of 88 miles, where there Is river competition, tho rate Is 7V& cents per bundled. The rate on wool from Arlington to The Dalles, G4 miles, Is $1.06 per hundred. From The Dalles to Port land, SS miles, with river competi tion, tho into Is 23 cents per bund led. This is sufficient .argument in favor ot tho portage road. Competition wipes out Injustice In freight rates nnd It does it peacefully and completely.

Stout of 300 Oak kjunbus, vOlilo ,1s a :splndld What a woman can do in. the chanics. Miss Stout Is a full-fledged engineer. She has not only the Qual ification of ability, sho has the high authority of the Btnte for practicing her calling, for sho has compiled with its laws, passed tho examination with honors ;and has her engineer's li cense, ns legal as that held by any male engineer hi the Buckeye Btnte. Miss Stout is hut 18 years old. In September, 1898, alio made her de but Into the business world as n book keeper In tho Dyesvlllo Flouring mill. But office work didn't prove congenial and besides, the nmbltioiiB girl was not able to make ns much money as she thought she ought to. So she con ceived the Idea of studying the mill ing business. So rapidly did her ap plication fit her for advancement that in a short time, in spite of her youth, she was put In charge of the flour de partment. Gradually sho acquired a knowledge of machinery and mechanical devices. Sho found that nothing fascinated her half as much. Then she determined to learn engineering. Friends sought to dissuade her. but tho aspiring en gineer was obdurate. In July, 1899, she began firing, and two montns later she was entrusted with the re sponsibility of managing the entire plant. She passed the rigid examination, prescribed by tho state, with com plete success. The district examlnor said ho had never received more In telligent answers. The engine Miss Stout runs is a stationary one. She dispenses with masculine help, shoveling her own coal, and doing nil the furnace work. Far from proving a strain, this ar duous work seems to agree with the fair engineer, nnd she Is 'ns healthy, sturdy and charming a girl as can be found anywhere. Boyce's Weekly.

We wish to call the attention of our friends who contemplate purchasing n Slrte-HIIl Combined Harvester the coming season, that we are still In tho lead In the way of Improvements, in harvesting machinery, nnd which our farmer friends have rightfully named the "KING OF THE HELD." After watching Its work In the field the past sixteen years, and for the season of 1903 It will he stul hotter as we havo mnde a uunibcr of valuable improvements. The MACHINE is the strouest and most durable made. IMPROVED DRIVE WHEELS 5 feet -1 Inches high, 22 Inch tire. RUNAWAYS are a rare thing with us. There Is a brake on main drive wheel, which Is controlled Iry the driver.
