LOOKOUTS DISASTROUS FIRE.
nruriiutted in a Howl In the Early
Morning.
A special from Lookout to the Lcw
iston Teller fives the following ac
count of a fire at that place:
A fire which originated In the Rich
ard's hotel about 5 o'clock this morn
ing wiped out the principal business
houses of the town entailing a loss
estimated from JlO.OuO to $15,000.
Mrs. Richards, wife of the proprie
tor of the hotel, was asleep in the
second story of the building when the
flames broke out in the kitchen, and
the fire had gained such headway be
fore awakened that she was forced
to Jump from the second story win
dow, sustaining severe injuries.
Richards, the proprietor of the ho
tel, got up early to start a fire In the
kitchen stove. He went to the barn
and In a few minutes returned to
find the interior of the kitchen a
mass of flames. The building was
consumed In a few minutes.
Water for fighting the fire was
scarce and the citizens resorted to
throwing snow on the fronts of the
buildings to prevent the spread of
the fire.
Soderberg's dwelling was In the
rear of the store and that was also
burned together with his household
The COLD CREAM
MONTH
March is the month when
complexions suffer unless
protected by the use of some
preparation that will pre
vent drying, chopping and
roughening of the skin. A
good cold cream will answer
the purpose better than any
thing else, providing you get
one that is rightly made.
Our cold cream Is right in
every particular. It's a dainty
pure white, delightfully per
fumed cream, that will feed
the tissues and protect and
beautify the complexion.

A person who has a savings account Is In a measure a puMIc
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 fuil growh and prosperity of the country, and also robs

FRIENDS OF CAKE
ARE INSISTENT
MILD BUSINESS COERCION
BY PORTLAND FIRMS.
Private Letters Urging Candidacy of
Cake for Hie Senate Sent to All
Parts of Oregon by Portland Bul
lions Houses) Eastern Oregon
Flooded With "Urgent" Business
Letters.
Are Portland wholesale concerns
which do business vlth Oregon mer
chants carrying on a political cam
paign in addition to their private
lines?
It would seem that a political bu
reau had been added to the grocery
department of Mason & Ehrman's
wholesale business in Portland, from
the letters received by a . Pendleton
firm this morning.
An urgent letter was received from
Mason & Ehrman this morning by a
business firm, urging the candidacy
of Cake for United States senator.
Mason & Ehrman are wholesale gro
cers and carry on a large business
with Oregon merchants and exert
more or less Influence In the business
circles of the state.
This political letter from the gro
cers urging a Portland man for tho
United States senate in opposition to
Judge Lowell, of Pendleton, came as
a surprise to the Pendleton firm,
which has done business with the
Portland wholesalers for years.
Many firms throughout the state
are Indebted to the wholesale con
cern and are under obligation to it
for favors extended and people here
are wondering to what extent this po
litical campaign Is being prosecuted.
This sort of campaign will perhaps
demoralize business relations between
Portland and merchants in eastern
Oregon, since eastern Oregon
hns a favorite candidate for
the United States senate in Judge
Lowell and the people of this section
will not care to be coerced by the
powerful wholesale concerns of Fort
land whose selfish Interests hr.ve actu
ated this sort of a secret campaign of
force.
If this campaign is being carried on
In Pendleton by one Portland firm,
how many other firms of the metrop
olis may be operating In other cities
throughout the state? This is the
question on the Hps of Pendleton and
eastern Oregon people.
How far will this business cam
paign be carried and to what extent
will business obligations be used for
political purposes?
Eastern Oregon presents her can
didate openly and fairly to the state
and he will make the campaign on
his merit. If Portland resorts to this
sort of tactics to coerce business men
Into supporting Portland's choice,
there is no telling where the "busi
ness campaign" will end.
It Is said that eastern Oregon
towns and country districts are being
flooded with personal letters from
Portland business concerns urging the
candidacy of Cake and that where It
Is possible to make an Individual, or
a business firm understand their ob
ligations to the writers of the letters
that the tone of the letter Is such as to
suggest mild coercion. Traveling men
coming In from the interior say this
"letter writing'' campaign Is being
worked to the limit among the small
business firms of the interior towns.

annual pass good on all railway lines

Is B 1 66 and Mr. McLeod would appre.

gines behind passenger trains at either
La Grande, North Fork or Bingham
Springs. Where there are more than
10 cars In the trains a helper may be
placed behind at Hllgard or Huron
These precautions are taken to Insure
absolute safety in handling passenger
trains on the mountains.
Wheat Hut Slightly Damaged.
Farmers coming to town from tho
north today say that the only dam
age to the wheat crop as a result of
the storm will occur on high places
wheer the wind blew the snow off
and left the wheat exposed to the
cold nights. Otherwise the crop Is
uninjured. The entire wheat belt was
full of moisture on account of the
heavy rains before the storm and
consequently the freeze will not hurt
wheat that Is not exposed.

Rlppey, teachers In Pendleton public
