The officers and members of the Commercial Asoclation of Pendleton have Indorsed the enterprise project ed by the Oregon Dally Journul,of Portland, whose field correspondent, John E. Lathrop. Is now in Pendleton lor descriptive articles of Pendleton and Umatilla county to be Incorpor ated in a special edition of the Jour nal which that paper proposes to Issue soon. The Journal is making no charge for the space asigued or the expense of Illustrations. Since arriving In Pendleton, and looking over the ground, Mr. Lathrop has decided to broaden the scope of the plan, and, instead of printing merely two pages on Pendleton and vicinity, the Journal will devote an entire section of the paper to this county, and therein set forth compre hensively the resources and advan tages to homeseekers. The special edition will be sent to the East to selected lists of well-to do people of all classes, mostly farm ers, who have evinced an intention to come West and locate permanently. The Journal asks no bonus for this work, conceiving that It is the legit imate function of a newspaper of statewide circulation to care for the Interests of the people of all sections, confining Its efforts to no one city or locality, but extending Its energies to the remotest locality. The space asigned, which will be several pages, will be given freely, .and the expense of white paper, com position, illustrations and all the work of preparing the matter will be at the Journal's expense. ' 'r- Text of the IiutrsemenL " The signed indorsement of the offi cers and managers of the Commercial Association, together with the signa tures appended, secured today, are as follows: "The Oregon Daily Journal of Port land, having sent to Pendleton a rep resentative with instructions to pre pare elaborate articles with complete Illustrations setting forth the re sources and advantages oC Pendleton and Umatilla county, and having manifested a commendable spirit of liberality and a disposition to perform the legitimate functions of a newspa per published in the chief city of the state, by printing descriptive matter of the various regions of the state without charge for the space utilized, we. the subscribers hereto, members of the board of mnnagers of the Commercial Association of Pendleton, unhesitatingly commend the project as calculated to forward the interests of the city and county. "We suggest that. In order to utilize the proposed' special edition and se cure results commensurate with the effort and expense to be given by the Journal. It would be wise to see that a considerable number of copies are sent directly to known homeseekers In the East, as well as to the St. Louis exposition, where, according to state ments by citizens who have returned PILOT ROCK HAPPENINGS.

Work will begin on the new school house In a short time, the Intention being to have It ready for occupancy by the first of the year. Only one minister of the gospel has regular appointments at Pilot Rock now. That Is Rev. Robert Dlven, the Presbyterian, who preaches in the old Methodist church. Mr. Dlven preaches here the first Sunday In each month. The absence of church going facilities at Pilot Rock is com mented upon by transients and new comers very much. The residents have gotten used to this condition of affairs. The poles are set for three miles north of town and are being placed rapidly In the direction of Pendleton for the new telephone line. The pro moters of this new line are for the most part farmers along the line, and a few business men In this place. The subscribers are paying for the erec tion of the line by contributing labor and supplies, such as each furnishing a given number of poleB and a cer tuln amount of labor digging holes and setting' tile poles. All the neces sary cash expenses are pro rated. The new telephone line will connect with the Doug Belts Independent line, which Is about 12 i.illes beyond Pilot Bock, and which ends at his place.

"I have been on the road a week.' he said, "and was obliged to lay over in Salt Lake City owing to the crowd ed trains.

Battulle of this city, suys: "Of one thing I am sure: There 1b a great work for a willing reformers In Pendleton. Our Indians become maudlin drunk there. Some of the saloons have tables In the "rear, and a button-and-bell arrungement for calling out an inhabitant of the saloon who will furnish anything drinkable they may call for, for the price. And yet. It is a felony to sell Indians In toxlcatlng liquor! I do not know of an area of ground of equal dimensions In the world that embodies more hell, (I do not speak irreverently) than the block north of Webb street and east of Main In Pendleton, Including the closed al ley, if testimony is to be believed. One missionary could devote his whole his Sundays and his week days, time ACADEMY FOOTBAAL. Teitni is Practicing for Active Work Later III the Season.

In Pendleton During the '80s. L. B. Wulte. of Connorsvllle, lnd., arrived on last night's train. Mr. Wulte's first Introduction to Pendle ton was In 1887, when he helped drive a drove of cattle here from the Interior. A few months afterward he took up government land a few miles northwest of Pendleton, upon which he lived one season, and then came to town and ran a dray for a short time. He made his home with C. C. Lanpher, on West Alta street. The Lanphers now live In Helena. Tlie Baptist Reception. The sweeping Invitation to the gen eral public to attend the reception to night, given by the B. Y. P. U., at the Baptist church, was an error made by the reporter. Only the members of the church and the congregation, are asked to come. All these are urg ed to be there, and are promised really memorable social event. Last Sheep Shipments. A tralnload of sheep will be ship ped from here In a short time, which will probably end the shipping season In this county for this year. In short time a tralnload of sheep will be sent East from Heppner, which will close the buying season in Mor row county. his days and his nights, his working season and his vacations for years to come, In that section. If you Will station yourself at the corner where the city pound Is locat ed, some bright Saturday, you may likely see dozens of Indians passing In and out of the demi-monde quarter. They are going In for whisky, alcohol, beer and worse pollutions. These dark-skinned people never knew such sins until the white men came among them. Now, alas! they know It all tQo veil, Whisky and. scrofula, with oilier more dread diseases, are deci mating the race. "Drunk to blindness, the bleary eye notes not the approaching train. nor do the dulled ears catch Its sound, till crash and eternity has cluimed Its own. Or the unsteady foot totters upon the brink and the mill race swallows another victim; or the thick tongue lisps out the hasty Insult, the pistol flashes, and another unpre pared soul 1b launched upon the bil lows of the great beyond. Seventeen such deaths since I have been here only a few years! It Is terrible. The white man sometimes acquires an appetite for whisky with the Indian it is no appetite It is a passion. Every preacher, minister or priest In Pendleton owes It as a duty to himself, to hlB deeply offending race, and to his God, to get busy and fight this curse to the Indians. 'I am today sending a case to your district attorney for his action, where in a man who came by the agency on business a few days ago, went on into Pendleton and obtained whisky, al though It 1b a penitentiary crime to give or sell It to him, and become so drunk that he sold his brother's horse for a third of its value so he could buy more whisky. 1 am willing to aid the owner of recover the horse, but only on condi tion that the one who sold It shall be punished. These terms will be com plied with, and that means only an other penitentiary victim. Hundreds of such cases have come before me. 'Peo was one of the brightest In dian chiefs, a consummate orator, a skilled diplomat, a ieatler among the redmen of the Northwest; one day he got enough to reach the top, und now he Is a physical and mental wreck will probably end his days In an asy lum all due. as the physicians of your own town pronounced, to alco holism." .. CHARLES M. ROBINSON, Clerk Umatilla Agency. First Snowfall. The first snowfall or the season fell last night and yesterday afternoon at Kamela and Meacham. O.

The wood Is soft, light, coarse flbered. colored dirty white or red dish brown.

The leaves are also used for flavor ing soup and are valuable because of the abundant mucilage they contain, Parish Aid Society.

THE PERPETUAL WAR There is always a fight going on in every human body between health and dis ease. On one side are poor food, bad air, over-work, worry, colds, accidents. On the other are sunshine, rest, cheerfulness and nourish ment.
