NEW COUNTY COURT WILL
TAKE ACTION AT ONCE.
Will Investigate Conditions In tJio
West End of the County First, and
Immediately Thereafter on the
North and South Sides The Large
Bridge Which Went Out on Butter
Creek May Not Be Rehullt Till Next
Year $40,000 Will Cover tho Coun
ty's Damage.
With all three members present the
first session of the present county
court was held this morning for the
purpose of taking action regarding
the repairing of the roads and bridges
of the county. As indicated yester
day, H. B. Lee, commissioner-elect,
came down on the evening train, and
this morning was appointed by
Messrs. Gllllland and Walker to fill
the unexpired term of the former. Mr.
Lee Immediately qualified for the of
fice and is now a regular member of
the county court, though the term to
which he was elected will not com
mence until July 1.
At the session this morning the
commissioners decided to go to Echo
on the westbound passenger train for
the purpose of viewing the bridges
and roads In that section. A number
of small bridges were washed out In
that locality during the flood, and
one large bridge, over Butter creek,
went out. The road supervisor of that
district has recommended that the
Butter creek bridge be not rebuilt at
present and unless the residents In
sist on prompt action, the work of re
building that bridge will be deferred
until next year.
After Inspection of the roads and
bridges at Echo the members of the
court will return to Pendleton. Messrs.
Lee and Walker will then go to the
north end of the county to look after
the work In that section, while Judge
Gllllland will do the same In the south
end. After the new court haa become
familiar with Its duties Mr. Lee will
attend to the north end, Mr. Walker
the central portion of the county, and
Judge Gllllland the south end. How
ever, at the request of Commissioner
Lee, Mr. Walker will accompany him
on his first tour of his portion of the
county.
340,000 Damage to County.
When asked this morning concern
ing the probable loss to the county
from the flood. Judge Gllllland said:
"It Is Impossible to say just what
the loss will be, but I believe now
that it will be less than 140,000, which
was the estimate made Just after the
flood. In many Instances bridges
went out, but were not swept away,
so they will not be a total loss to the
county, as the timber may still be
used."
LITTLE DANGER OF TYPHOID.
Private Sewers Emptying Into River
Mu Ft Be Discarded.
That there is little danger of a ty
phoid epidemic, or of any other illness
as a result of the flood Is generally
held by the physicians of the city.
When seen upon the subject this
mornlrtg Dr. Cole, city health officer,
said:
"There Is more danger of miasmatic
fever than of typhoid during the com
ing summer, but I believe there will
be little or no Illness through condi
tions resulting from the high water.
Don't Have Dis
tressing Dyspepsia
When your food distresses you don't
neglect yourself. Indigestion causes
the distress and unless you aid your
digestive organs the conditions be
come chronic. Our
FJ& S Dyspepsia Tablets
should be taken after each meal.
They stimulate the digestive organs
and Increase the flow of gastric Juices.
These tablets cure Indigestion and
any ordinary case of dyspepsia.

The cool weather we have been having
since the flood has been a blessing,
as it has allowed the water In the
west end to disappear without first
becoming stagnant as It would have
done had hot weather followed the
flood.
"Also, the rains which prevailed for
several days after the water receded
were beneficial because they washed
away the sediment that had gathered
In the Inwns and streets of the flooded
section.
"But while there Is little danger of
typhoid, the people should not neg
lect to take every precaution to see
that their places are In good sanitary
condition. Nor should they fall to boll
the drinking water used, as by doing
so they are taking the greatest safe
guard agntnst the fever."
According to J. T. Hlnkle. chairman
of the levee committee of the council,
the private sewers which empty Into
the river at various places within the
city will have to go. For the most
part these were Installed before the
present sewer system was established
and have been allowed to remain by
the council. But now that the levee
Is to be repaired and made Into a
park, the council will order the pri
vate sewers abandoned and compel
the use of the main sewer system.
FOUR-INCH PIPE ARRIVED.
Nearly 3000 Feet Will Be Laid During
Next Week.
At last the four-Inch pipe which Is
to replace the small water main on
some of the north side streets, has
arrived. There Is between 2500 and
3000 feet of the big pipe, and on
Monday J. T. Brown, water super
intendent, will place a crew of men at
work replacing the present main.
The trenches were dug some weeks
ago.
G. L. STROUD OF SPOKANE
TELLS OF DEVELOPMENT.
Says Americans Will Play Prominent
Part In the Future of the Old 1 to
public Fabulously Rk-h Mines Are
Worked in Crudo Way by Mexicans
Young Americans Who Can
Speak the Spanish Language, Are
In Demand.
G. L, Stroud of Spokane, a promi
nent mining man of the northwest,
passed through the city this morning
to Spokane for a year's stay In the
republic of Mexico, most of this time
having been spent In the state of
Guadalajara, where great mining and
railroad development are now going
on.
Mr. Stroud Is highly enthusiastic
over the future of Mexico and, Is es
pecially elated over the part which
Americans are to play In the develop
ment of that old country.
In Guadalajara are mines which
have been worked for hundreds of
years In a most crude and primitive
way, which can be converted Into bo
nanzas by American capital and Im
proved methods. The ore Is tediously
mined by hand, carried on mules for
miles to old-fashioned roasters and
smelters, where but a fraction of the
metal Is extracted. Even with these
crude methods Mexican companies
are making money. With Improved
methods and proper development
some of the Guadalajara mines will
become enormously profitable, he be
lieves. Mr. Stroud says that one glaring
mistake made by American capital
ists In going Into Mexico, Is that far
mers, stockmen,, merchants, and men
wholly unacquainted with mining go
there and expect to get rich In a few
years In a business of which they are
almost totally lngnorant. Then these
men come away cursing the country
and slandering the shrewd promoters
who sold them property at high
prices.
He says that men not acquainted
with the business should not venture
their eptlre fortune In It. It Is not
business-like and will result in disas
ter. Not one Inexperienced man In
a hundred makes any money from
mining. Only mining men should go
to the mining regions.
He says that one of the most press
ing demands In Mexico Is for young
Americans who can speak the Spanish
language. Railroad development and
mining development have opened
thousands of useful occupations for
thme and there are none to fill the
places.
But he says to be sure to have a
position before going. The mining
centers are far In tho Interior. Trans
portation costs money. Living ex
penses are high In the Interior and
unless you have money or a position,
you will be In hard luck In Mexico.
PROFITABLE SCHOOL YEAR.
Improvement and Progress Uniformly
Recorded.
That the Pendleton schools have
profited under the direction of City
Superintendent Traver Is shown by
the annual report, which has Just
been filed with the county school su
perintendent. In the report figures
are given showing the attendance for
the past year, and according to Super
intendent Welles the showing Is very
favorable compared with those of
former years.
The total number of pupils enrolled
In the Pendleton schools during the
past year was 73 greater than last
year, while the number remaining
until the close of the year was 110
more than last year. i
But the most satisfactory conditions
shown are those regarding the attend
ance and absences. During the past
year the total days attendance was
14,394 greater than last year, while
the absences were 2266 fewer. Also,
the number of tardles during the past
year were 1173 fewer than a year ago.
The average dally attendance was 64
greater this year than last

also shows that more Interest has been
taken In the school this year by out
siders. Last year but 62 parents were
registered as visitors during the year,
while during the year Just closed the
number reached 248. During the past
year there were 9 visitations from
members of the board, whereas dur
ing the previous year there were but
19. AIbo, the county school superin
tendent haa made 20 more visits to
the schools than during the previous
year.
That the showing for the past year
Is ahead of the "previous records Is
not due to accident or chance, but to
the thorough methods Insisted upon
by Superintendent Traver, who Is re
garded as one of the most competent
educators In the northwest
