Accident Occurred by tho Discharge of a Cartridge Supposed to bo Blank Incident Took Placo 111 Phoenix, Arizona, and Mr. GlUnore Hus Entirely Recovered The "Cap tain Dcbonnairo'' Company Has lk-cn In Pendleton Since Friday Morning. There la one Incident In the theat rical career of Paul Qllmore which that popular actor does hot cura to niivo repealed. It occurred at Phoe nix, Ariz., six years ago, while he won Playing In "The Musketeers." Through an accident a score or more rifles were loaded with bull cartridges liiHteud of blanks, and when the guns were discharged In the play one of the bullets lodged In the leg of the leading mun, while several others of the troupe were also wounded. In the belief that they were to play here lout night, Mr. Gllniore and his company arrived In Pendleton yester day morning and consequently had a two days' rest before appearing to night In "Captain Debonnolre." In company with his manager, H. E. Weaver, Mr. Qllmore has been a guest at the Hotel Pendleton. When seen there and asked concerning his adventure at Phoenix, he gave a high ly Interesting account of the Incident "The Musketeers" is a military play, and in Its presentation .much shooting Is done, blank cartridges be ing used, of course. Through some curelewsness on the part of the prop erty man when in Phoenix, some car tridges were used that looked much like blanks, but which turned out to be loaded with lead. In the play the soldiers were trained to aim at the feet of their opponents, or at an ele vated angle, as even blanks are dan gerous when fired ut close range. Had It not been for this rule doubt less several of the company would hove been killed outright. The most disastrous work was done while Mr. CSIlmore was loading his men In an attack on a Cuban block house to rescue the Imprisoned na tives from the Spaniards. During the attack several volleys were fired by the soldiers, with more direful re suits than desired. The hero was shot in the leg Just above the knee, and fceveral others were struck. However, Mr. Gllmore declares he thought ho had merely been hurt by a wad from a blank cartridge, and insisted on finishing the afct. He did so, but became so weak that In de livering his lines was forced to grasp his wounded leg with his hand, and at the part of the play where ho was supposed to kill the villain he swoon ed away while the villoln kindly at lowed himself to be slain by another player, thus concluding the act. It was a very realistic scene, more so than the audience dreamed of, and they loudly called for the curtain to be raised. This could not bo done under the circumstances, and the manager appeared on the stage and announced that the hero had been shot. This was taken as a joke by the audience, which continued ap plauding. Filially the curtain was raised showing a picture of real con sternation, and physicians were called for. Mr. OHmore was carried to his hotel on a door, and for several hours tho doctors sought in vain to locate the ball. It was finally located by means of an X-ray machine, and Is preserved as a souvenir by Mr. Gil more. Nowadays he declares that special care is taken to we that no ball cartridges become mixed with the stage ammunition. increased iturr acreage. More Will I!e Planted In I'nloti Coun ty Than Ever Before. Manager F. S. Hramwell, of the sugar factory, has been In Cove the past few days making contracts for the growing of sugar beets for this season's run, says the I-a Grande Chronicle. He reports having con tracted for upwards of 1000 acres of beets In t lint locality. It Is now a certainly that the sugar compnify will have a larger acreage this year than cvre before. Mr. Hramwell Is count ing upon at least 4000 acres, while as a matter of fact the factory never had more than 21100 to 2S00 acres here tofore. Hut the essential fact in this move means a railroad between La Grande and Cove. A wagon haul Is out of the question, anil Mr. Hramwell has guaranteed to the growers that there will be railroad facilities for hauling the heels by the time the crop Is rendy. He says If there should be any failure on the part of the belt railroad company to have their road completed in time, that the sugar company will themselves build a road to the Cove beet fields. A Scientific Wonder. The cures that stand to Its credit make Bucklcn's Arnica Salve a sci entific wonder. It cured E. R.

From far off Alaska comes a remarkable letter to the bureau of navigation of the navy department. It was written by Gunner Thomas Qunderlos, who makes serious charges against the captain of the whatel Jeanette. It seems that while Qunderlos was en joying a little mental obscurity in San Francisco, the crew of the Jeannette shanghaied him and carried him to Alaskan waters. When he recovered his senses, ho Indignantly told the captain of the whaler that he was a gunner on the United States battleship Ohio, to which the captain Is said to have re plied: "Very good; we are in need of Just cuch a man," - The bureau of navigation has look ed Into the matter and believes the statements by Qunderlos are true, and the ' revenue cutter service has been asked to look out for the Jeannette. The man has had a most excellent record during his long service In the navy, and his mysterious disappear ance from San Francisco could not be accounted for by his officers and mutes.

WORK OF TOI"OGRAPinC DEPARTM ENT OUTLI NEI, Bulletin iHHiicd by Hie Government Although Now "Ancient History,' Miowm the Details of the Tox graphic and Rerlumutlon Work In Various Purtx of the Stato During Iutt Year ltulletin Edited by Pruts Agent of Government. Although tho work of the tope graphic surveying department of the government In Oregon has been fully described by the. press of the state as the work progressed during the past year, yet the following official report of the work In the state will be of Interest. The following bulletin on the topo graphic work in Oregon has Just been Issued by the government, although some of the work recounted In the report Is almost two years ild. A regular press agent, whose duty it is to compile these bulletins from offi clul reports, Is maintained by the In tcr.lnr deportment, tho present press agent or editor being Harriet Connor Brown. The bulletin on Oregon says: In Oregon 201 square miles of new area were topographically surveyed during the last fiscal year. In co operation with the reclamation serv Ice the level line from Huntington to Biggs, commenced during the previ ous season, was completed by C. H. Semper, 149 miles of line being run and 43 permanent bench marks es tablished. One party was engaged In the re vision of the culture of the Portland quadrangle, for publication on the scale of 1:62.600, with a contour In terval of 25 feet, In order that copies might he ready for distribution at the Lewis and Clark fair. The Granite Pass 30-mlnute quad rangle, covering portions of the coun ties of Jackson and Josephine, was triangulated In the fall of 1904 by A. I. Oliver, who occupied nine stations. A report on the geology of Central Oregon by Prof. I. C. Russell was is sued during the year. Stream-gauging stations were main tained by the hydrographic branch at Sllverlake, Vale. Paisley, Bend, Elgin, Hllgard, McDonald, Ontario, Narrows. Owyhee, Baker City. Riley, Hums, Silvlcs, Gibbon, Umatilla. Yoakum, Milton, Joseph, Dell and Malheur. As a result of reconnolssances made In 1902 and 190.1, certain defin ite reclamation projects were selected for further examination on Umatilla and Malheur rivers and In Harney county. The I'matllla project Is lo cated in the north central part of the state near the Columbia nnd west of the Umatilla, a tributary of the Co lumbia. The topography of the various res ervoir sites was mapped, topographic mnps were made for 25 miles of feed canal and about 25 miles of dis tributary canal, on n scnle of 400 feet to 1 Inch. Test pits to determine the nature of the material underlying the reservoir site, embankment line, and canal line were made. An exam ination of these by the board of con sulting engineers led to an unfavora ble report on the project. A project east of tho I'matllla river was stud ied and the prospect for It found fa vorable. This is now called the Uma tilla project. The Malheur project contemplates the reclamation of lands of Malheur valley from above the town of Vale to Snako river. Several reservoir sites have been found here, all of which have been surveyed and mapped. The lrrlgablo lands were mapped on a scnlo of i000 feet to 1 Inch. Diamond drill investigations for tho foundations at dam sites were begun about the middle of July, 1904. Surveys were completed, and esti mates and plans for bids and con struction were mode. One would think the Laxative Idea In a cough syrup should have been advanced long before It was. It seems the only rational remedy for Coughs and Colds would be to move the bow els and clean the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs at the same time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar does this. It Is the original Lax ative Cough Syrup, the best known remedy for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc. Tastes good said harm less, Sold by Tallman ft Co. SURVEYS N OREGON FOR PARCELS POST EXPRESS COMPANIES , ROB AMERICAN PEOPLE. Exorbitant Charges In United Stale t'oiiiimrctl to the Moderate Charges In Other Countries Mexico Will Carry 1 1 Pounds Half Round World for 10 Cents Same Package Would Cost $3.52 for 10 Miles In United States. The Patrons of Husbandry of the State of Washington have prepared the following statement of parcels post and express statistics, showing the exorbitant charges In the United States as compared to other coun tries: Ag there are at present at least one third more postofflces than express offices In the United States, those sending packages will have a more complete service under the parcels post. The furmer can send his pro ducts In small quantities direct to the customer at small cost and better profit. "The storekeeper will be enabled to replenish his stock more frequent ly and quickly, not having to meet ex pensive express charges. In conse quence he will not be obliged to keep on hand large quantities of goods sel dom called for. Abolitionist. Are Traitor "In fact, parcels post presents so many advantages that In countries where it has become an established institution so general Is the satisfac tion given that anyone who would ad vocate its abolition would almost be regarded as a traitor. "Ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker said: 'The Insuperable obstacles to a parcels post In the United States are, the Adams Express company, the American Express com' pany, the Wells-Fargo Express com' puny and the Southern Express com' pany. The United States postofflce department Is about 10 years behind the other countries f the world in the mutter of handling packages.' Koine Couiparl-ains Offered. "The German postofflce for 6 cents transmits 11-pound packages for 4G miles and for 12 cents the same pack age can be Bent a possible 1500 miles; 110 pounds cost 66 cents for the eame mileage. "Great Britain has a special rate to farthest India and Burmah of 3 pounds for 24 cents, 7 pounds-for 4S cents, 11 poonfls for 72 cents. Half around the globe this particular mall is carried at little more than one- third of our local domestic rates. What Mexico Does. "A Mexican sends 11 pounds to Algeria for cents. (It would cost you here III the United States $3.62 to send the same parcel to a friend in vour nearest town.) "The lowest rate at which the United States postofflce will send par eels of merchandise Is 1 cent per ounce, and no package must weigh over four pounds, except printed books, to any point in the Union. The lowest rate Is four pounds for 64 cents. Profits and Losses. "The parcels post has been In such successful operation for 20 years past that In 1903 the British postofflces handled over 90,000,000 parcels, and the gross profit on her mall service was over $20,000,000. Germany, in 1902, handled over 150,000,000 par cels, and the profit on her mail serv ice was $13,000,000. "(The poetofflce department of the United States was run In 1905 at a nominal loss of $ 1 4.072.5S4.1 3.) "In 18S0 .the Universal Parcels Post union was formed between the 210 different governments for the trans mission of parcels. The United States did not become a party to this union, end has postal arrangements with only 1 out of the 230 nfcovo men tioned, and those chiefly in the West India Islands. "(In other words, we are behind every important country In the world. We should pecept that position indef initely, rather than exert ourselves In the attempt to catch up, so says Post master General Coltelyou.) "Do you not think that what the German postofflce can do for the German, the British for the Briton, the Mexican for the Mexican, do you not think the United States postofflce should do for the American?" IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. Indian Allottees Will Organize Next Wednesday. On next Wednesday a meeting of the Indian allottees of the reservation will be held at the agency for the purpose of forming an organization to be known as the Umatilla Improve ment association. The action Is to be taken at the suggestion of Major Ed wards, who believes much good can be accomplished by such an associa tion. The object of the society will be to promote the social, moral and mater ial welfare of the Indians. The edu cated Indians of the reservation will take the lead In the association, nnd will endeavor to Instruct their more Ignorant brethren. Also, It will pro vide a means whereby united action may be taken by the Indians on af fairs resulting to their Industrial wel fare. Received Daningcs.

There is a growing belief among the people of Portland that some day the great business center of tho city will be on the penin sula between the rivers. The railroads centering there are attract ing tho heavy business such as the manufacturing and wholesale. This will naturally draw a dense population, It is gratifying to know that many of our Pendleton citizens own property at Portland, and In the most promising part of Portland, which is between the rivers, where the railroads are now fighting for position, J. F. McCarthy has Invested about $16,000 In that dis trict. Dr. Cole, Dr. Irvine, Laura Calioon, Eliza Leezer, J. P. Earl, J. H.

Buying Pianos in Large Quantities It's Effect on Price The wholesaler '.ias an advantage over the retailer simply because he Is able to buy In larger quantities. The retailer must buy from hlra and then sell to the public. Suppose you were the retailer. You would save his profits. Eilers Piano House makes you a retailer when you buy a piano or organ. Because we buy for the largest and busiest piano houses on the Pacific coast one In Portland, one In San Francisco, one In Oakland and Stock ton, Cal.; Spokane, Seattle, Wash.; Boise and Lewiston, Idaho; Salem, Astoria, Pendleton and Eugene, Ore. We can afford to sell you a piano for just about the same amount that the ordinary dealer himself must pay the factory for It. For example, say the retail value of an instrument were $350. The or dinary retailer would sell you that In strument for $290, and boldly adver tise thut you get the benefit of a re duction of $60. That piano cost him maybe $250. If you went into the re tail piano business as a dealer it would cost you about that amount. Now we sell that piano to you for as low as '195. This is where your benefit comes in when you buy a pli.no from us. The fact that we practically whole sale to you explains the whole prob lem of price. Of course, we reduce shipping ex penses by dealing in large quantities. We don't even ship In boxes. Our special cars come direct from the factory to our large warehouses at the comer of 13th and Xorthrup streets, Portland. The pianos are shipped In our patented harness de vice, and come to us in perfect con dition. We save thereby at least $125 on each carload for freight alone. We have not only solved the prob lem of shipping, but others as well, and you get the benefit of every dollar thus saved. These things show why we do the largest business of any piano house In the United States why we are con stantly increasing the volume of our business. In the matter of quality of goods, we selected the finest instruments that mnoey can buy. Today we carry the leading pianos manufactured In the world, the celebrated Chlckering of Boston; the beautiful Weber of -ncw York, and the now famous and suiierb Kimball of Chicago. In addition to these we have the Hazelton. Lester, Hobart M. Cable, Crown Orchestral, Story & Clark, Huddorff, Schumann, Schiller, etc., etc. thirty makes in all, giving the purchaser not only the largest stock to select from, but more make than are to be found In any other piano house in the United States. Lowest prices, easiest terms and best Instruments are the Inducements that we offer you. Are they not worth investigation? The Pianola, the most perfect piano player made, Is sold exclusively by Eilers Piano House Main street, next door to Boston Store
