This afternoon a petition In bank

there Is no federul judge In this dis

Mosgrove Brotliers of Athena New i
Fire Company of Great Value-
Helix, Or., Nov. 2. (Special to the
East Oregonian.) Last night Mos
grove Brothers' store, known as the
Athena Mercantile company, of this
place, was totally destroyed by fire,
and damage to the extent of about
$12,000 incurred. Of this amount,
$10,000 is the valuation placed upon
the stock by Manager George White
head, while the other $2000 will cover
the loss of the store building. The
latter was a frame structure of one
tor)' and was 30x80 feet in dimen
sion. The fire started about 1 o'clock last
night and originated In the oil room,
though the exact cause Is not known.
It was under a strong headway before
the fire company could get Into ac
tion, and although heroic work was
done It was Impossible to save the
building. Only by hard work could
the other buildings adjoining and
across the street be prevented from
catching fire. The Helix postoffice is
located almost oppslte the site of the
burned store, and was for a time in
danger. Had it not been for the new
gravity water system recently Installed
and the fire company that has been
organized, it is said the fire would
probably have reacted serious pro
portions. The store which was burned last
night belonged to Mosgrove Brothers,
of Athena. From what can be learn
ed it Is thought they had but $1000
Insurance upon their stock, and as a
result will lose heavily. Whether or
not they will rebuild is not yet
known.

' Walla Walla Police Will Have No
More of Tlieni.
An order was issued by Chief of
Police Brown yesterduy for all slot
machines to be put out of commis
sion and as a result all of the money
machines were turned to the wall last
night and the man with a spare quar
ter in his pocket had no opportunity
to get rid of it by bucking the festive
device known as a slot machine, says
the Walla Walla Union.
Chief Brown gave us his reason for
the order that the machines were be
coming so numerous that complaint
would be made sooner or later. It is
rumored that the owner of the ma
chines, which In most instances are
only rented to the saloons, is now in
the city endeavoring to arrange mat
ters so that they can continue to be
operated or else remove them from
the city, but he could not be located
yesterday.
Eighty applcatlons for membership
in the Commercial association aro now
with the secretary and 277 members
are enrolled on the books, leaving but
43 more applications to be secured to
reach the 400 murk set by the asso
ciation for the next regular meeting
which occurs Tuesday. November 7.
Applications have been pouring In
since the mark of 400 was set, tit the
rate of from 10 to 15 per day, and It
Is thought that the 400 will be secured
by Saturday evening, leaving Monday
and Tuesday's applications to be for
good measure over the mark.
Great Interest Is being taken by till
the members In securing applications
and a revival of Interest In all the
features of the association is now be
ing enjoyed, as well as In the gym
nasium features.
New Interest Is displayed in the li
brary since it has been placed In new
quarters and enlarged and It is evident
that the association will take some ac
tive steps toward organizing a city
park agitation. In the near future.
The record of this association is
utmost phenomenal compared to the
growth of other associations in the
country. The Lewiston association had
but 300 members ut Its highest tide,
the Greater Salem Commercial club
has but 18 members. La Grande has
but 200, although it enjoys an elegant
club building devoted exclusively to
the purposes of the association, and
Baker City has but a small association,
while Pendleton Is close to the 400
mark and will reach It.
The gymnasium equipment In the
Pendleton association is superior to
any equipment In the state excepting
possibly the V. .M. C. A. and the ath
letic association equipment In Portland.
lease was given to the land by the
owner, It being the .custom In those
days to give such leases Instead of ac
tual deeds for the land. Numerous
oilier cases similar to this one have
existed, anil In some cuses the prop
erty has reverted back to the heirs.
Whether or net such will occur In the
Hall estate remains to he seen. How
ever, efforts are being made by the 37
heirs to the estate to have their claims
honored, and strong attorneys In the
east have been retained In the case.
The BO-ycara lease has now been ex
pired for two years, and seemingly
there Is a good prospect for the heirs
to prove their lii-his mid secure the
land, or else dispose of their claims
for a valuable consideration. For
some time past Mrs. Bowers has been
ennimunlcatliiK through Attorney C.
H. Carter with parties In the east re
garding the estate, but the exact status
of the case Is not definitely known at
present.
According to Mr. Bowers an effort
was made some 30 years ago to break
the lease upon the land, but without
success. However, nt thnt time there
seemed to bo no question but that
when the lease had expired the prop
erly would revert to the heirs of the
original lessee.

In spite of the alleged suspension
of gambling In this city three places
are known to be conducting games
where playing is Indulged In by all
comers. Nearly all of the old gam
blers are here, and many new faces
are coming to town every day.

The teams will begin practice Im
mediately, and It Is expected that by
the end of next week they will be In
condition to take part In regular con
tests. In training for the tournament each
team will be under the direction of Its
captain, and It Is expected that some
good hard games will be played. It
Is the Intention to have two games a
week during the tournament, thus
bringing each team Into one game
weekly. The games will be so ar
ranged as to decide the champion-
ship.
Thomas Milarkey, jr., was chosen
as manager of the association basket
ball team which it Is proposed to or
ganize later from the best players of
the association. He will commence
correspondence at once with other
club teams, with which games may be
arranged.
Tomorrow afternoon the cities of
Walla Walla and Pendleton will strug
gle here for football supremacy, each
place being represented by Its high
school eleven. From Indications at
present a close and Interesting game
will be played, for It Is certain that
tlie Walla Wnllans will try to redeem
the defeat which was administered to
the Whitman college second team
last Saturday.
During the past week tile local boys
have been trained faithfully by Coach
Smythe, who has sought to remedy
the defects that became apparent In
the last game. Quicker action has
been developed in the back field, and
all members of the team have been
coached to avoid fumbling, hlcli was
responsible for much loss last Satur
day. With the additional practice
and the experience of the last game,
there is no reason why belter ball can
not be played tomorrow than In the
Whitman game. However, the local
management is making no boasts on
the outcome, but Instead Is making
every effort to make the score favor
able to Pendleton. .
The line-up of the Pendleton team
will be exactly as In the Whitman
game, which was as follows: Strlck
len, left end; Means, left tackle; Stan
field, left guard; Baker, center,
Reeves, right guurd; Scott, right
tackle; H. Thompson, right end;
Pierce, left half; Strand, right half;
Turner, quarter back: Storle, full
back and captain. Substitutes, Good
man, Penland, Dickson, Gilbert, J.
Thompson, A. Means, Cresswell, Hoo
ver, Johns and Cooley. There Is a
possibility that Means may not play,
ns a result of an Injury received in
the Whitman game, and In that event
Reeves will be shifted to left tackle
and Goodman put at right guard.
The Walla Walla learn will nrrlve
here on the morning train tomorrow,
and the game will be called at 2:30
on the Matlock grounds. There will
be no school tomorrow because of the
teachers' Institute, which will be In
session.
The game tomorrow will be the last
one on the local field before Thanks.

TO KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM,
Is tht Oalr Poa.lblc Way of Having
Aa Effective Cure.
If you see a woman or a man with lux
uriant glossy balr, you may be sure nei
ther has dandruff to amount to anything.
In nearly every case where women and
men have thin brittle hair, they owe It
to dandruff. There are hundreds of prep
arations that "claim" to cure dandruff,
but not one but Newbro's Herplclde tells
you that dandruff Is the result of a germ
burrowing Into the scalp, and that per
manent cure of dandruff and its conse
quent falling and baldness, can only be
bad by killing the germ; and there is no
other preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro's Herplclde. "Destroy
the cause, and you remove the effect."
