Anmng those who knew and were
a raw I. ft e! with the dead man during
his work here- the news of his death
came as u sad shock this morning.
Among the officials at the court house,
and thorn) In the circuit court room this
morning It was almost the sole topic
of conversation, and general Borrow
was expressed over the sudden death
of the man Who had recently been the
center of -interest In the Davis trial.

Purlng his most recent slay here it
wn noticeable' that lie frequently ap

this was accounted for on the theory
that he disliked to nslst in a case

Morning Tribune Starts Cut
Rate Campaign in Adver
tising t
W. I,
RlllORX FIRST TO
JOIX THE BOYCOTT.
Tribune Tries to Graft the Saloons
Heavily in Order That it Might He
Able to Cut 50 Per Cent on Mer
cantile Advertising Boasts- That it
Will Put the East Oregonum Out of
HiislneHH Few Saloons Are Grafted
by Tribune's Scheme.
The Y. M. C. A. at Salem now has
4 26 members.
The Morning Tribune of this city
has Instituted a plan by which It
boasts that it wlll cause the East Ore
gonlan to suspend business through a
lack of patronage from Pendleton
business men. .
For the- past month It has been
working among the saloons with a
plan to secure an advertisement from
each saloon at a good, stiff monthly
rate. In order that It may bare a
large Income from saloon advertising,
that It might then be able to cut the
prices of mercantile advertising about
GO per cent, nnd thus induce mer
chants to take the cheap rate In the
Tribune rather than pay the regular
rate In the East Oregonlan.
Taking advantage of the fact that
the saloons are not friendly to the
East Oregonlan because of Its fearless
stand for saloon regulation, the Trlb
uno has worked Its scheme energetic
ally, but It may be said with credit to
the good sense of the saloons that
but one or two of them have accept
ed the space la the Tribune, thus
showing that they know its limited
scope and Influence as an advertising
medium among the people of the
county.
When the Tribune found that It
could not thus graft the saloons for
space In Its columns for this purpose,
It then went among the business men
and promised to cut rates on adver
tising below half the, regular price,
on one condition, that all. merchants
accepting the Tribune's cut rate must
cancel all advertising contracts with
the East Oregonlan.
One Advertiser Quits.
W. p. Kihoin. the renl estate deal
er. Is the first man In Pendleton to
accept tin; proposition of the Tribune,
nnd -last evening ordered his adver
tisement "killed" or cancelled In the
East oregonlan, on the understand
ing. It is ulleged, thar ms advertising
In the Tribune will cost him less than
one-half the regular rates.
Since Mr. Itiboin's contract with
the East Oregonlan amounted to but
$10 per month, the East OregorJnn
will continue to do business as of
yore, without his business.
It must be said to the credit of the
saloons that although the East Ore
gonlan has bitterly demanded regula
tion of their business, they have de
clined to rush to the support of the
Tribune, which has been their mouth
piece and spokesman in all the agita
tion. In this the saloons prove that they
utterly despise a thing which they can
buy and sell and trade as so much
garbage. They know that the paper
without backbone or moral courage
Is of no use to them nor to any other
business, as an advertising medium.
Method Is Not Demanded.
The East Oregonlan regrets to
make this statement, since there Is
no demand in Pendleton for the
methods of the Tribune. This whole
sale cutting of rates In order to se
cure business which it cannot secure
at the regular rates, Is an admission
on the part of the Tribune that Its
merits as a newspaper does not ap
peal to business men and that they
must have some extra Inducement to
patronize It at all.
The people of Umatilla county are
Interested In this matter since the
East Oregonlan has led the campaign
for better morals, and many, many of
them heartily sympathize with the
paper In Its fight, and will be ready
to stand by the friends of the paper.
As business melts away from the
East Oregonlan through this remark
able Bcheme of the Tribune the read
ers of this paper will be kept in
formed.. The ast Oregonlan does not an
ticipate any great slump In business
on account of this coup of the Trib
une. The East Oregonlan has a cir
culation that Is open to the Inspection
of business men at all times. It goes
Into 99 per cent of the homes In Pen
dleton and the records of Pendleton
postofflce prove every month that It
sends out almost twice as much free
and paid mall as the Tribune. Busi
ness men appreciate these facts and
they Invest In advertising space Just
as they do In merchandise. They
don't want a cheap article at any
price.
The Kast Oregonlan carries a line of
clean, decent advertising which It
recommends to Its readers, and It en
Joys a circulation among a staunch,
sterling. Intelligent people which It
heartily recommends to the attention
of advertisers.

MALIC!
EALSE000D
The stories of the alleged attempts
to kidnap Miss Maud Sheek, former
ly of this city, by Portland thugs, as
told by the Evening Telegram, are
branded by the Oregon Dally Jourcal
as pure fabrications, Intended to cnt
discredit on the police force and city
administration of Portland. The
Journal says of flie stories published
In the Telegram:
All the lurid stories that have
been printed tor the past 10 days In
the Evening Telegram concerning the
reputed attempt to kidnap Miss Maud
Sheek have been brunded as false
hoods of the most glaring nature by
the girl herself in affidavits signed
before a notary public. Which are now
in tho hands of Mayor Lane and the
hlef of police. There Is not one word
of truth In the reports. They have
been made from whole cloth, accord
ing to Miss Sheek, by reporters of the
Evening Telegram, who by every con
ceivable trick known to faking re
porters, attempted to worm from her
statements which were untrue, She
further said (hat things had been said
u until ner as coming from her to
wliii-ii she did not give her consent.
Sh said the reporters boldly told
her they wanted to make It appear to
the pet-pie of Portland that the mayor
was not giving them a good adminis
tration and that the police depart
ment wns Inefficient. They snld that
ir sne w.ouid consent to the stories
they would write. It would assist them
and help ber, too.
She positively denied In her affida
vit that nn attempt had been made
to kidnap her; that the ropes, the torn
gown, the ga and the mask, which
the alleged kidnapers were reported
to have used, were her own property
which she had In her possession nil
the time.
The only grain of truth In all the
published reports wns that a dark
mnn had followed her and had con
siderably annoyed her, nnd she had
simply concocted the mythical story
of the attempted kidnap In her own
mind In order to frighten the man
away, and thnt she had no Idea of
the matter ever getting Into the
newspapers. I
Denver. Feb. 7. For the first time
In the history- of the Knights of Co
lumbus. the strongest Catholic or
ganizatlon in the world, a lodge Is to
be established outside of Canada, and
the United States. A letter received
by John H. Reddin from Edward L.
Heart! of New Haven. Conn., supreme
knight of the order, says thnt Mr,
Hearn und a team will go to the City
of Mexico this month and form
council there. The ceremonies will
take place on February 21 and 22
and will be the most Impressive and
significant ever conducted by the or
der.
Not only will this be the first lodge
of the knights In the republic of
Mexico, but It will be the. very first
to be organized outside of Canada and
the United States and possessions. Re
quests for branches have been re
oelved for years from France, Eng
land and other countries. but no
action has ever been taken. Thl:
will be the first "break over."
Special trains will be run from
Texas and Colorado points to the City
of Mexico, while n large delegation
will nlso attend from New Mexico.
Aj showing the rapid growth of the
Knights of Columbus, an organization
composed of representative male
members of the Roman Catholic
church, when the Denver council
was organized five years ago, the or
der's total membership was only 60,-
000, Today It has upwards of 155,-
000 members.
The establishment of a council In
Diaz' domain Is taken to mean thnt I
branches will be formed nil over the
world this year.
If the city council Is to be guided by
the wishes of the Main and Court
street property owners, the eleven
blocks comprising the business section
of Pendleton will be paved during the
coming summer. Since yesterday the
two petitions started among the prop
erty owners have been freely signed,
and already much more than a ma
jority of the frontage has been pledg
ed for the Improvement. The peti
tions ask that the blocks on Main
street between Bluff and the Umatilla
river, and on Court street between
Main and Vincent he Improved with
bithullthic pavement.
Alreidy the papers have been pre
sented to most of the resident proper
ty owners, and if the work can b
finished by this evening the petitions
will he presented at the council meet
ing tonight.
