( Intention Was to Have Built Last
Year Carl Welsert, the Harness
Man, Projector and Owner.
Carl Welsert. the Court street har
ness man, will in a short time begin
the construction of a modern brick
building on the property which he
recently bought of W. F. Matlock
and "William Itoesch) which he will
occupy as a harness Bhop.
The building will be of brick and
-will have a pressed brick front and
will be 20x100 feet in dimensions. It
will bo one story in height and will
have a large skylight over the rear
part. In order that there will be
plenty of light.
The completed building will cost
at least $6,000 and perhaps more, ns
Mr. Welsert has not settled on nil
the details of the construction. It
will bo ready for occupancy by the
middle of May if the plans now un
der consideration aro carried out.
Mr. Welsert would have bought
the property some time last year
and had the building completed and
occupied by this time had It not
been for the menace of the old

the place bought. The Wheeler
building is considered a flrctrap and
a menace, not only to nil tho build
ings on that sldo of tho street, but
to those on the other side as well,
and for this reason building Is re
tarded In that neighborhood. Now
that the fire department has taken
the matter in hand, it is thought
that such restrictions will be put on
the place that it will not be of so
much danger to the other buildings
In the block.
COUNTY CHARGED UNJUSTLY.
Simple Blanks Used
Office and Printed
In Assessor's
by Tribune,
Cost Five Prices.
Among the bills to be presented
to the county court at this session 1b
one for 3,000 small blanks, 4x6
inches, on cheap paper, containing
12 words and ruled for listing prop
erty and used in the office of tho
county assessor.
The actual commercial rate on
these blanks would be about $2.25
per 1,000, but the bill of the Tribune
for these 3,000 blanks, as it will be
presented to the court, is $37.50, or
more man nve umes uiu cuuiiuuiciui
price of the printing. This is only
one small Item on the bill for county
printing, but it is sufficient to make
the taxpayers wonder where this
graft is going to stop.

Lewis and Clark Job Printing Con'
cern of Portland, Skins Eastern
Oregon Cities and Adds Insult to
Injury by Soliciting Stamp Sales
for Postoffice of the Metropolis
Stamp Orders Should Be Cancel
led.
Agents of Portland job printing
offices took orders for several bund
red thousand Lewis and Clark fair
ei elopes In this city, about a
month ago, and now It transpires
that many of tho business men who
ordered these envelopes, also ordor-
ed stamps from tho same agent, in
this manner depriving the Pendleton
postoffice of Bovernl hundred dollnrs
in stamp sales and adding a llko
amount to the Portland postoffice.
Tho stamps which will be placed
on these envolopes coming into Pen
dleton, will bo purchased in Port'
land, and Pendleton money will
swell the income nt the big postof
flee In the metropolis, while the re
ceipts of tho home postoffice will ho
whittled down to that extent.
Tho business men who mado these
purchases did so without thinking
of the bad result It would bring to
the home postoffice, and perhaps lit'
tic thinking that the home papers
which support the town nnd defend
Its interests were also entitled to
furnish these envolopes by using the
Lewis and Clark official emblem,
through a contract with that corpor
ation.
Several thousand dollars will be
sent out of Pendleton, which might
have been left at home to circulate
among the institutions and swell
home pay rolls. The Lewis nnd
Clark fair Is working many a graft
In Oregon, and if the newspapers
will shut up tight, and let that con
cern pay for its advertising, It will
be made to feel the power of the
press.
Instead of apportioning out this
job printing among the country pa
pers, charging a commission for the
use of the official emblem, and per
mining the envolopes and souvenir
paper to be printed by each paper in
each town, as they might solicit any
other job work, the privilege is
"farmed" out to some job printing
concent in Portland which can help
the fair in no possible way, and
which is a competitor to the conn
try papers, whoso money is spent in
the cities now supporting this cheap
printing concern.
It is hoped that the business men
who have ordered stamps from Port'
land will cancel tho order immedl
ntely, and at least buy stamps from
the home postoffice, even though
their Job work for a year ahead has
been bought In Potland.

The Start
In married life is generally
made on an equal footing
of health in man and wife.
But how soon, in many
cases, the wife loses the
advantage and fades in face and fails in
flesh, while her husband grows even
more rugged and robust.
There 13 one chief cause for this wifely
failure and that ia, the failure of the
.womanly health. When there is irregu
larity or an unhealthy drain, inflamma
tion, ulceration or female weakness, the
general health is soon impaired.
