The COLD CREAM
MONTH
March Is the month when
complexions . suffer unless
protect ;d 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 public
benefactor, because in his modest way, he does his thare 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
himself of a legitimate Income.

over 200 paying members In the asso
ciation. ;
The financial difficulties of the
Commercial association have been
caused by the gymnasium. During
the winter members using the gym
nasium have not been charged extca,
and the director's salary and other
expenses have been paid from the as
sociation treasury. While the ladies
and Juveniles using the gymnasium
have been charged for the work, but
little money has been received from
that source, and at the board meeting
yesterday the finance committee was
directed to secure from Director Wil
son a full report of all funds received.
Aside from the amendment propos
ed by the board of managers another
plan has been suggested for Increasing
the club revenues. It Is that mem
bers using the gymnasium pay SO
cents or 11 per month In addition to
their present dues, and that the $1
rate for the association be maintained.
In this way It is held the gymnasium
could be made to pay for its main
tenance and would no longer be a bur
den on the association.
NO BASEBALL THIS YEAR.
High Price for Grounds Makes Com
mittee Desialr.
Because W. F. Matlock, owner of
the baseball grounds, has refused to
accept an offer of $15 a game for the
use of it he grounds, it is probable that
Pendleton will not have a baseball
team this -season. The above sum was
offered Mr. Matlock by the baseball
committee, consisting of Carl Cooley,
Thomas Mllarky and L. G. Frailer.
The proposition was wired him- at
New York and last evening a reply
was received. In It Mr. Matlock de
clined the offer of $15 per game and
insisted on one-fourth of the gross
gate receipts, which he was given lasi
year.
According to members of the com
mittee the terms asked by Mr. Mat
lock are exorbitant, and a team cannot
be successfully financed unless more
reasonable terms are given. As they
have no hopes of such they have given
up in despair and say that" as far as
they are concerned there will be no
ball season here. Carl Cooley has
written the Walla Walla manager to
this effect and cancelled the meeting
that was to be held here this week.
Also, Lawrence Lieuallen, who was
engaged for the team, has been re
leased and will play with Athena.
Knapp, last year's Pendleton catcher,
has signed to play with Walla Walla.
Although there Is general regret
over the outlook, the local fans are
agreed that Mr. Matlock is unreason
able and there is a sentiment In favor
of letting the season go and the
grounds lie unused. If there Is to be
any money for the players they de
clare better terms will have to be
given.

WIN WllLRUN
SEEKS THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINATION IFOR JUDGE.
Petitions Are in Circulation and in the
Event That He Is His Party's Clwlce
lie Will Make a Vigorous Campaign
for Ills OKI Position ns a Member
of .the County Court Apparently,
the Race Will lie .Between Hortmnn
mill Gllliloml In .lnite.
Judge G. A. Hartman has announc
ed his candidacy Jor the democratic
nomination for county Judge, and pe
titions In his behalf were sent out this
.morning.
Ever since Judge Bonn announced
ne would resign and thus cause a new
Judge to be elected, there have been
rumors that Judge Hartman would be
come a candidate and friends have re
peatedly urged hlmitoirun.
However, he has waited to mnlt
ure of there being a vacancy before
announcing himself. Now that he Is
in :the race it Is understood that ho
will :muke an active campaign for the
nomination and election.
Judge Hartman is one of the best
known and most popular residents of
I'jinullla county. He Is a pioneer and
has been closely connected with the
business and Doliticsl Rffal
county for many years. He was coun
ty oierk rrom 1836 t. 1900 and served
as county Judge from 1900 to 1904.
Two years ago he was defeated for
that nfflce by the narrow margin of
3 votes. During the campaign every
thing iposslble was done to defeat him,
but even then the election of Judge
Bean cume as a surprise.
From appearances now, the race for
county Sludge will be between Judgi
Hartman and Commissioner TT. P. Gll
llland. The latter was commissioner
with Mr. Hartman between '1900 and
1904 and their relations have been
very friraiO.lv.
