PKNDI.ETON LEAPS PORTLAND.
Pendleton did not have a world's
fair to swell her postoffice receipts,
but she led Portland by over one per
eent In the percentage of postal re
ceipts In the past year.
For the year ending Juno 30, 1KU4,
Ihe receipts of the Pendleton postof
fice were $13,891, and for the year
ending June 30. 1905. the receipts
were 116.515, an Increase of 18.88
per cent.
For the year ending June 30, 1904.
the receipts of the Portland office
were $353,293. and for lh( year end
ing June 30. 1905, the receipts of that
office were $416,052. or an Increase of
but 17.77 per cent.
While this report of the Portland
office did not include but one month
of the fair, since It opened on June 1,
yet it Included practically all the ad
vertising and correspondence leading
up to the fair for months in advance.
In Pendleton there was nothing but
the normal growth of the community
to swell the receipts. Portland boasts
that she led the United States In per
centage of Increase In postal receipts,
She did not reckon Pendleton In her
comparison. Let her revise her boast
ful estimate now. and bow to the
queen city of the inland empire.
DOXT 1JK..MIT THE USES,
In the case of the Freewater liquor
"club," which has been violating tho
local option law, the court should re
mlt no fines if the parties are found
guilty.
It will give others encouragement
to work secretly for several months In
hopes of being able to avoid detection,
The people who organized the club
knew the law. They knew that the
people of that district had voted
against the sale of liquor within the
prescrilied limits. They knew that
the club was Illegal when they or
ganized It. They are intelligent, ex
perienced men, and had no excuse for
en erlng the business except that they
desired to sell whiskey despite the ex
pressed vote of the community In op
position to them.
Let the "club" pay its fine the
limit prescribed by law, and It will
discourage the next fellow.
In fart this club dodge Is a scheme
of the Liquor Dealers' association of
the state to thwart the will of the
people and It simply remains to be
seen l the courts will uphold the peo
ple. BACHING LEGITIMATE I'COI.KKSS
The railroads cannot expect the
mum of the people to feel kindly to
ward them If they stand as public
barriers to progress. They must
take a fair and equal chance and give
others the same. In the Industrial
coirrpetltlaon of the age.
The gag law won't work.
Three or four prominent Instances
of "the dog In the manger" policy
have been made public In the news
dlspatehes of the past month.
In tho Instance of tho north bank
road, an effort was made by an al
leged "railroad" company to secure
all the land at the entrance to the Co
lumbla river gorge, near Vancouver,
to prevent the aetual builders from
securing a right of way, and thus pre
venting the building of tho much
needed road. The company trying to
block the way did not Intend to build,
but simply organised Itself Into a
barrier to prevent building.
In Portland the Harrlmnn people
through (heir attorneys, have Inter
posed every possible objection to the
building of an electric line Into that
cily from the southwest, even carrying
the open fight to the city council In
the effort lo prevent the new company
from securing the privilege of enter
ing the cily on any of the streets, s
requested.
This Is simply an organized barrier
lo progress.
If Portland and tho surrounding
country need the new road and capi
tal Is willing to build it. what right
have existing roads to say them nay?
In the valley of the Platte river,
Hariiiuao is barring the Iturllngtou
from building Into a locality which
needs railroads. The people want the
new road, the country Is developing
rapidly and new business Is being cre
ated every year. 1 ut the company
which now holds a monopoly has or
ganised Itself Into a barrier and Is
checking the legitimate advance of
the state of Nebraska.
All these things will hurry up gov
ernment ownership, however, and
may be blessings In disguise, after all.
WOMAN'S SlPKIllORITV.
Professor Chamberlain of Clark uni
versity, has catalogued woman's points
of superiority over man, and they are
here offered as an Inducement for
voters to give woman the privilege of
voting in Oregon, that her virtue and
capacity may be utilized and enjoyed
by the state. Professor Chamberlain
says that woman is superior to mnn
in the following well defined points:
As an actor she has the greater
ability anil more frequently shows It.
She Is noticeably better In adapv
ability.
She is much more charitable In
money matters.
Under reasonable opportunities she
is more gifted at diplomacy.
She has greater genius In politics.
She more commonly has executive
ability.
Her hearing is more acute.
Her imagination is greater.
Her intuitions are greater.
Her memory Is better.
Her patience is greater.
Her perceptions are more rapid.
She has greater religious devotion.
Her Instinct for sucrlflce Is greater.
She bears pain more heroically.
Her sympathy Is greater.
She has greater tact.
She has more acute taste.
She has greater vitality.
She has more fluency In the lower
forms of speech.
Public ow nership sentiment Is grow-!
lng at a rapid rate and It would not '
be surprising if Hearst is elected
il
mayor of New York city on an own
erhslp platform. The Chicago munici
pal election stimulated the sentiment
and nearly all of the larger cities
have taken up the cry for public own
ership, especially of the great utilities
so vital to the masses of the people. It
Is one of the populist "vagaries"
which is forging to the front as rap
Idly as did the Initiative and referen
dum, popular election of senators and
other demands of the reformers of
the early nineties. If Hearst is elect
ed mayor on this platform It will be
a long step toward his nomination
for the presidency on a similar plat
form in 1908.
A decision from the circuit court
of Boise City declares that the Sunday
closing ordinances passed recently by
the city council of Boise are strictly
constitutional and must be enforced.
Consequently the saloons must remain
closed In the capital of Idaho here
after a far step iii advance for a
western town. But then the Intelli
gence and refinement of the west are
not to be surpassed anywhere In the
world, so why should not civilized
laws prevail'.'
A railroad from Pendleton to Cam
as Prairie and Susunvllle, will check
the Inroads of the Sumpter Valley on
Pendleton territory. This Is a mark
that should bp set by Pendleton Com
mercial association, and nothing
should hinder or turn aside the agi
tation until such a road is complete.
THE PLAINS.
The Plains! Tho shouting drivers at

The crash of leathern whips; the

Of wheels; the groan of yokes and

And Iron chain, and lo! at last the

Vast line that reached aa if to touch
the goal '
Began to stretch and stream away
and wind
Toward the west, as If with one con

Then Hope loomed fair and home lay

that has never before appeared in

ing near this city, the son of Jerry
Jordan, a well known plnsterer. The
young man enlisted In the Union army
and after remaining In service a short
time, became sick, deserted and came
j home. The news of Jordan's desertion
! was sent to his regiment, then sta
tioned at Murfreesboro, Tenn., and
he was Immediately arrested and sent
there to be tried by court-martial. He
was branded, according to the story
of Mclteynolds. A hot Iron, made In
the shape of a letter D, wag used In
branding the deserter, and he bore
the scar until his death, which soon
followed.
Jordan came home and pined away
In shame for the terrible way in
which he had been punished, avoid

months of a broken heart. The brand
ing of deserters never went any fur
ther. It was stopped a short time
after this on an order from General
Grant, as he contended the punish
ment was loo brutal. It la said Jor
dan was the first deserter In the army
to be branded.
Jordan's grave is a few miles from
this city, and no soldier's slab marks
the last resting place of the man who
died from grief and shame.

WHY DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound Cures When Doctors Are Powerless
A woman la sick; somedisease peculiar
to her sex is fast developing in her sys
tem. She goes to her family physician
and tells him a story, but not the whole
tory.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to Bay, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Js it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the disease ? HUH
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
verv embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
It was for this reason inai years ago
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., de
termined to Btcp in and help her sex.
Havinir had considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write to her for advice In
regard to their complaints, and being a
woman, 1L was easy lor ucr uuiug ou
ters to pour into her ears every detail
of their sufferinir.
In this way she was able to ao lor
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, ana
from the little irroup of women who
sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow-beings are to-aay
constantly applying for advice and re
lief, and the laci mat many inuu
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are prouueeo. oy
heruncaualedexncrience and trainine.
No physician in the world has had
such a training, or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in ine
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local Irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is tho reason why
Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con
stantly publishing from grateful wo
men establish beyond a doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.
