PAHiY EAST OREGOXIAX, rENDIiETOX, OREGON, TUESDAY., SEITEMIIEU 27,'lDOl. EIGHT PAGES. Despite the fact that the Commer lal Association received an adverse eport on the feasibility of Pendleton apltal financing the Rlgby-Clove omulned harvester company It is robable that the stock has all been ubscrlbed at time of Bolnp to press. The terms of the proposition made y John Clove to capitalists here have , x-en altered slightly sufficient to in .lude the Issuance of $10,000 prefer- ed stock drawing interest at 10 per j ent assured and the alteration puts j i radically different face on the vhole subject of financing the pro rased combine works. Today Mr. Clove is able to say that HI but $4000 of the proposed $90,000 s actually subscribed, and the $4000 s in sight perhaps is secured at this lour. Mr. Clove Is secured In a one-third aterest in the company, compensa tion for his Inventions and remuner ation as superintendent of the works. The entire capitalization Is for $90, J00, of which one-third Is reserve, ind from $18,000 to $20,000 will be required to put the works on an oper iting basis. It Is possible that the works of the Mays & Zlegler Co., the equipment of which -was used last 'fear to turn out the Clove machine, will be purchased by the new com pany. The report of the special commit tee appointed by the Commercial As sociation to look into the advisability of Investment In the proposed works was adverse in a degree not because the merits of the Clove combine were .not recognized and fully understood, but because the proposition submitted was not deemed as favorable as a .majority of the committee thought It .should be. Now Mr. Clove goes di rectly before the monled men with a proposition which will In all proba bility win out. The report of the special commlt .tee. composed of Mayor W. P. Mat lock, W. H. Jones and J. R. Dickson, .follows: "That after Investigation we believe that the said harvester Is a machine that has given satisfaction where used. "That the establishment of a first class foundry in connection with the manufacture of said harvesters would prove of great value to this com munity and remunerate to the own ers. "We find, however, that It will be impossible to finance the proposition In Pendleton, and would recommend that no further action be taken on it by the association." P. Collins has entered BUlt In the state circuit court to secure a divorce from Henry J. Collins. The wife de clares she Is afraid or the defendant and has secured n court order nrohlb ltlng him from Interfering with her or her children during the pendency of the suit. The Collinses were married in Chenm, Surry county. England, Feb. 4, 1SS4. The husband Is charged with being a drunknrd and with squandering his money for drink and over gambling tables. On Septem ber 17 last, Collins Is alleged to have driven his wife nnd children out of doors. He Is a stone mason by occu pation and owns a house and lot In this city. Mrs. Collins desires the custody of her minor children nnd $30 a month from the defendant for their support. Says Wile Inserted Him. Alba S. Presby this morning Insti tuted divorce proceedings against Larkey E. Presby, charging deser tion. The couple were married at Wardner, Idaho, seven years ago. The wife is alleged to have deserted her husband on Mnrch 1, 1902. There arc no children. The plaintiff Is rep resented by Attorney Peter West. SCHOOL BOOKHMDE ALMOST AX EGG FAMINE. Over 50 Cases of Portlnnd Eggs Sold ..Here During Past Week. That Pendleton Is on the verge of an egg famine Is shown by the hot scramble for eggs to supply the local market. Last week J. M. Spence, who rep resents a Portland commission com pany, sold 50 cases of Oregon "can dled eggs," or packed eggs, shipped here by the Portland house, but com ing orlglnnlly from the vicinity of Sa lem. Yesterday Spence sold 10 cases and the demand Is not yet abated. Eggs on the local retail market are quoted at 35 cents and' the supply from the country does not nearly meet the local demand.

The reality requires more than 5 mere "say so." It requires a knowledge, experience, con- stant and conscientious vlgi- J lance. We say we have pure drugs 2 because we have. We spent a at time and money to make sure of the fact. m There are no better drugs to be had than we provide.

The Commercial National Bank of PeaiHetOB The school book dealers report that nil records In the volume of business In that line, and in some particulars the character of the business, wns broken last week, nnd for that mat ter for the first day of this week's business. , On account of the necessary delay in the grading of the schools the book trade that Is generally crowded Into two or three days was prolonged throughout all of last week and thus far Into this. The large Increase In the enrollment nnd the very limited accommodations made the work of classification necessarily slow, and therefore many children could not know their book needs for some days after presenting themselves at school. This fact was a very welcome one to the two dealers, and although they had purposely more than doubled their forces of clerks, yet all hands have been rushed every day since school began. Big Cuxh Trade. The other essential in which the school book trade this fall differs from previous years is the increasing volume of cash business. Fewer peo- pfe have asked for credit on school books than ever before, and In a ma jority of Instances the children them selves have the cash to offer for their purchases. Books In exchange that pass muster are accepted at one-half the prices originally paid for them, but they must not have a leaf missing, and the line Is necessarily drawn fairly close on thumbed and soiled books. Both dealers state that the demand for second-hand books exceeds by con siderable the supply. One dealer has a private mark which he puts In ev ery second-hand book passing through his hands, and already this fall sev eral bearing four of these private marks have come Into his hands and had the fifth mark appended. Must Not Mistreat Books. The dealers are very solicitous that the teachers systematically enjoin the pupils to take even greater care of their books than they have been do ing, as Inculcating thrift and pride that will have visible results year af ter year as long as the books last. One dealer emphasizes the econ omic feature of the case, and cites as an Instance where one family yester day paid a difference of 63 cents be tween the old books and the new, whereas the same books would have , cost, without the saving effected by exchange, between three and four) dollars. , The dealers discredit the alarmists who borrow trouble by claiming that second-hand books are liable to be mediums of disease, and quote the local physicians as to the exceeding ly rare possibility of disease being transmitted In this manner. Investi gation made In Chicago, Instigated by this sort of an alarm, resulted In two Instances of disease being traced to a total of 4,000,000 second-hand school books. Moving to Xez Perce. Henry Melners has sold out his Cold Springs Interests nnd will re move at once to Nest Perce, where his brother Martin, nnd brother-in-law, John Hclnrlchs, now reside.

The Betz brewery at Walla Walla Is now In the hands of a company composed of Wnlla Wnlla saloonmen, Betz re taining a block of the stock. ACCUSED OK THEFT. Inmates of Cottonwood Resort Leave Town in a Hurry. Helen McEvoy, proprietress of a Cottonwood resort, yesterday after noon made complaint against May Sommers and Carrie Smith, former Inmates of her place, charging them with larceny. The accused left on the delayed passenger train for The Dalles, and an attempt'was made to stop them, but a warrant could not be secured in time. Deputy District Attorney H. E. Col lier, after Issuing the warrant, ordered It held up until he could more fully Investigate the affair. It Is alleged by the McEvoy woman that the wo men stole a cloak and several other articles of wearing apparel. It Is said that they also owe her about $70. SKIRMISH SURVEYORS. Party Han Finlslied With Umatilla County and Is Now in Grnnt. The party of skirmish surveyors spoken of several times as operating in this county In an endeavor to lo cate possible sites for reservoirs un der orders from the reclamation bu reau, has practically covered the county during the summer, and Is now In Grant county.
