A person who has a savings account Is In a measure a public
benefactor, because In his modest way, he does his share to Increase
the amount of money per capita In active circulation. The person
who does not keep a savings account, but hides his money In our-of-the-way
places, withdraws that money from circulation and thereby
retards the full grown and prosperity of the country, and also robs
himself of a legitimate Income.

THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY
of cleaning a watch or clock was to
lubricate the works with coal oil.
Did all right for the half turnips our
grandfathers carried.
Fine watches need careful handling.
Particles of dust must be removed
piece by piece. Each minute wheel
must be freed from anything which
would retard the movement.
We clean and repair watches and
clocks thoroughly. By having them
adjusted frequently years are added to
their life.

Accompanied Tliem, Returned To
day. T. J. Tweedy and Asa McDanlel,
who left here three weeks ago for
northern Texas, where they expected
to Invest In wheat lands; have turn
ed down the Texas Investments as un
inviting and are now visiting their old
homes In Missouri.
C. R. Porter, of Gram Valley, Ore.,
who was In company with them dur
ing their Investigation of the when,
land offered for sale In the panhan
dle, passed down the O. R. T?. to
day on his return home. He did not
find the outlook favorable to Inves
tors, and so comes back to Oregon
satisfied to keep his money at liome.
Mr. Porter says the Pendleton -men
thoroughly Investigated everything of
fered them and made a study of crop
conditions and rainfall and came to
the conclusion that It was not a safe
nor promising Investment and conse
quently did not invest a cent.
They left Texas several days ago
for Missouri and will arrive home
within the next 10 days. '
The total rainfall at Amarlllo. the
center of the district now being
boomed by real estate men, Is 14
Inches, divided through the year ns
follows: January, .70 of an Inch;
February, .85; March, .48; April,
2.17; May. 4.15; June, 3.28; July,
3.52; August, 2.65; September, 2.37;
Octobftr, 1.68; November, 1.31, and
December, .91.
There is little rain In the growing
season, but torrents during harvest
season, according to Mr. Porter's
statements, nnd the soli In many
places is so light that the wheat Is
actually blown out of the ground and
piled up in heaps against fences and
shrubs. He says many people are go
ing there, but few are Investing and
the boom will result in little actual
settlement, although considerable
land Is being bought for speculative
purposes.
TWO GAMES FRIDAY NIGHT.
Teams From Pendleton Will Play at
Colfax on That Date.
On Friday morning the two bas
ketball teams of the high school will
leave for Colfax to meet with the
high school teams of that place Fri
aay evening, as there will be no
school on Friday other students of
the high school will have an oppor
tunlty to accompany the teams, and
it Is probable a number of supporters
will go.
In a recent game between the Col
fax young men's team and that of
Whitman college, the former won by
a score of 20 to 14. Consequently,
the local boys are promised a hard
game, for they were defeated by
Whitman by a score of 14 to 8. How
ever, In spite of the odds against
them they are confident that they
will give a good acoount of them
selves. For some time past the team
has been training faithfully under the
direction of Coach Hoffman, and they
may do better than when they played
Whitman. The line-up of the team
will be as follows:
Stricklin and Penland, forwards;
Storie, center; Turner, Ruppe and A.
Means, guards.
According to Glenn Goodman,
coach for the girls' team, the follow
ing players will be taken to Colfax,
and the team made up from the
number: forwards. Ivy Hill, Jessie
Folsom, Roy Vogel and Nona John
son; centers, Gertrude Jordan and
Effle Temple; guards, Effie Temple,
nixie Todd. Nona Johnson and Min
nie Casey.
LIMITED HOLIDAY TOMORROW.
the Schools and Rut Few
- Huslness Houses Close.
Although tomorrow will be a legal
holiday, Washington's birthday, there
will be no general suspension of bus
iness In Pendleton. At least no ar
rangements have yet been made for
the closing of the larger stores or tne
citv. As a rule the Clerks' association
takes up the matter of holiday clos
ing, but owing to the present dull
business and the recent holidays, they
have not asked that the stores close
tomorrow.
However, the banks and all public
offices will necessarily remain closed,
and several of the smaller stores now
have notices to the effect that they
will be closed tomorrow.
There will be no holiday for the
school children tomorrow, but Instead
school will be suspended on Friday,
thus making three consecutive days
without school.
AT THE CARNIVAL.
Fair Attendance Witnesses Change of
Program.
At the Eagles' carnival last night
the crowd was not as large as the
one which filled the hall on the open
Ing night. However, the attendance
was fair. At 9 o'clock Queen Faye
appeared, surrounded by her maids
and attendants and held a brief re
ceptlon. Following this the vaude
ville performers again entertained the
audience, the program being new
with the exception of one number.
AHOIT 2000 REGISTERED.
This la About Half Uie Voting
Strength of tlie County.
Up to date there has been a total
of about ' 2000 voters registered
throughout the county. This is nearly
DON
half the former voting strength, and
consequently many are yet to be en
rolled, . Thus far the republicans have been
far In the majority, as nearly twice as
many of that party have registered
as have democrats. However, It Is
expected that the subsequent regis
tration will show a gain for the min
ority party. But few socialists and
prohibitionists are registering.
WHO WILL RE CHIEF OP POLICE
Whole Subject Up hi the. Air so Far
as Information (iocs.
Will a new marshal be selected at
the council meeting tonight? That
such action would be taken at this
meeting has been expected since the
resignation of Marshal Coffman last
week, for It was presumed that a
choice would be agreed upon within
the week.
This morning several members of
the council declared no choice had
yet been made, or any consultation
held upon the subject. It Is there
fore possible that the matter may not
be taken up at all this week.
Thus far there Is little to Indicate
who the council mny select for the
position. Both Messrs. Kinsella and
Wilson have been frequently men
tioned since last week, but the for
mer stntes that he Is not an applicant
and would not accept the position
were it offered him. As far as these
men are concerned, the field Is left
to Wilson. ,'
There is a feeling an entirely
new man may be selected, and In the
event of such being done a surprise
may be sprung. John Heathman, ex
marshal, has been frequently men
tloned as a possibility, and many of
his friends are urging his appoint
ment. But how he will be regnrded
by the council Is not known.
Meanwhile the duties of marshal
are being performed by J. A. Stev
ens, who was employed temporarily at
the last meeting.
To Reduce Postage.
Pendleton Buslne"e college is tak
ing an active interest In a bill now
before congress to reduce the rate
of postage on educational publlca
tlons. A strong effort will be made
to have the rate reduced or else cre
ate a classification of educational
matter under a heading which will
admit It through the malls at lees
than the regular first-class rates. A
bill having this subject has been In
troduced by Senntor Stone, of Mis
souri, and all the schools In the coun
try are urging the various members
of congress to support the Stone bill.
Seeking a Ixwt Brother.
Postmaster Llvermore has Just re
ceived a letter from Ellsworth Beth-
ers, seeking Information concerning
his brother, Guy W. Bethcrs, who
cooked for a harvest crew near Pen
dleton last season, but who has failed
to answer any letters from his family
since that time. He was In Pendleton
last December and Is supposed to be
working In this vicinity, although
word has reached his people that he
Is dead. Information will be gladly
received by Guy W. Bethers, Kent,
Ore.
