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 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

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.
This party, composed of three men
with Instruments for taking levels
and making rough, preliminary esti
mates of the feasibility of reservoir
sites, traveled In the lightest march
ing order, one pack horse carrying
all their camping equipment. During
the summer they visited all the
mountains and foothill lands In the
County east, south and southwest.
The result of their findings is not
known, being Incorporated In sealed
reports forwarded to the reclamation
department at Washington.
