turned bogus check artist, and his
present location Is being sought by
Sheriff Taylor.
According to the tale thnt M told
of Stone he Is a young man who lived
not wisely, nor too well. He came to
Weston about two months ago from
Klamath Falls, and proceeded to en
gage In the prnctlce of law. But bus
iness was evidently dull In the trick-
yard city, nnd the young lawyer was
forced to find some other means of
raising money with which to pay his
Inndlady and other creditors. The
forged check method was adopted.
Lost Friday, a week ago today,
young Stone left Weston and enme to
Pendleton. From here he went to
Spokane.
While In Pendleton Stone passed a

BLACKLIST RICH WOMEN.
Chicago Dressmakers Will Not Be

Chicago, April 13. The dressmak
ers of Chicago have decided to take
steps to protect themselves against
women who order $5000 worth
Easter gowns and suffer a lapse
of
memory when the bill is sent to them,
The omnlpersent "deadbeat" hence
forth will be baffled by a system of
blacklisting and publicity.
The dressmakers trust Is unan
mous that the business must be place
on a war footing. Every business has
Its system for Investigating the credit:
of Its patrons except that of dress
making, said Mme. Schubert, corres
ponding secretary. "We must co
operate and boycott the. bad custom

which no woman who swindles

THE OREGON IN DRY DOCK.
Seven Hundred of the Crew Dlsctiarg-
erf for a Year.
Bremerton, April 12. The battle
ship Oregon, Captain Merrill, arriv
ed here this morning, after a pleasant
trip from San Francisco, making the
run In 71 hours. She was tied along
side the dry dock, and as soon as pos
sible will be placed In the immense
cradle to undergo repairs. These will
be extensive, costing, It is said, near
ly $1,000,000. The battleship will be
out of commission at least a year.
At San Francisco 500 men were dis
charged, and 200 more will be retired
here.
The story that her crew smuggled
$760,000 worth of goods which they
procured in the orient, the officers of
the vessel claim Is absurd. The re
port originated, they say, from the
fact that the sailors and gunners
brought over relics which they sent
to their friends In this country.
The Oregon has not been on a dry
dock since she was In Hongkong, and
her bottom Is In bad shape. Her com-
ng means a great deal to the hun
dreds of workmen who have been era-
ploye-1 at the navy yard, some of
whom have been laid off for lack of
work.

Complete returns from all counties
In Oregon show that there are alto
gether 230 republican and democratic
candidates for the state legislature
who will be voted on In the coming
primaries by the voters of their re
spectlve districts. Of these, 230 can
didates 126 are pledged, unqualifiedly
to vote for the people's choice for
United States senator. Of the remain
ing 94 candidates. 60 have modified
this pledge, usually by the proviso
that they will vote only for a republi
can, and 44 are on the fence, having
given no Intimation as to the course
they propose to pursue.
No party lines have been drawn on
the Issue presented by statement No.
1. In Clackamas county, where there
are 15 republican and one democratic
candidate, every one of them has sub
scribed unqualifiedly to statement No.
1. Lnne county has nine candidates
for the lower house, four of them
democrats nnd five republicans. All
are pledged without qualification, to

agreed among themselves early In the
campaign that they would not vote
for any candidate who had not sub
scribed to statement No. 1, and the
result was that with a single excep
tion every candidate pledged himself
to observe the people's will. As the
significance of statement No. 1 be
comes more generally understood, the
sentiment In favor of It grows con
stantly stronger. There can be little
doubt that a majority of the members
of tho next legislature will be under

Entire Amount Named, Pendleton
Scliool District Receives Twenty
Eight Per Cent The Next Large.
Amount Goes to Milton, While Wes
ton and Athena Are the Next Larg
est Sliarers From tlie Fund.
By the special apportionment of
school money which County Superin
tendent Welles has Just made, $25,
673.07 Is divided among the 96 dis
tricts of the county. This Is the larg
est apportionment that has ever been
made In the history of the county, and
the money will be warmly welcomed
by the different schools.
There are several reasons for tho
large apportionment this spring. This
Is the first time since the new tax law
has been In force that the O. R. & N.
Co. has paid Its taxes on time. By
paying on time this year they added
$50,000 to the usual amount collected
In the spring.
Another reason for the abundance
of money is that when the tax levy
was computed this year allowance
was made for tax abatements, which
always occur and cut down the
amounts received from taxes. In the
past no attention has been taken of
prospective abatements, and conse
quently less money has been received
than was anticipated from the levy.
In the special apportionment which
Superintendent Welles haB Just made
the following sums are received by
the larger districts of the county:
District 16 Pendleton, John Hal
