CAPITAL $50,000.00 TOTAL RESOURCES 9250,000.00 COMMER1CAL NATIONAL BANK PENDLETON, OREGON LUMBER TRUST BE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE IS A COMBINATION. Movement Started In Portland to In vestigate Charges ot Illegal Combine on the Coast Cry of San Francises Has Aronsvd tlie Federal Govern liK-nt Prices of Lumber Are Now Prohibitive. The lumber trust of the northwest will be Investigated by the federal government at last. The cry of San Francirco has caused the government to stir In the matter. Lumber prices In San Francisco have advanced until they are almost prohibitive at this time and the rebuilding of the city la now seriously delayed by this fact. Yesterday a movement was started In Portland for an Investigation Into the Illegal combine of the mlllmen of the northwest. The Oregon Dally Journal says of the matter: Lumber mill men. replying to Insin uations that a trust Is controlling the business on the Pacific coast, state emphatically that a lumber trust would be an impossibility on the coast. They say a small group of of sawmills around Rainier, or In any similar lo cation, could "bust" the biggest mill trust that could be formed In Port land, even should the railroads go in to the combine with the large mills. Nevertheless, the federal authorities have determined to probe the charges that a lumber trust exists. A few- days ago the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manufacturers' association was Incorporated In Portland, with a nominal capital stock of $500. Avowed objects of the association are. "to gather and publish data rela tive to values and markets for Pact fic coast lumber products, to enforce practical rules for grading and weigh ing lumber products, and do every' thing possible for tile advancement of Pacific coast lumber Industries, The Incorporators named are Harrison G. Piatt, a -local attorney; E. J. Sheek and George J. Perkins. It has not been directly charged. excepting through the public prints of P)in Francisco, that any actual lumber trust exists In the Pacific northwest. The fact that lumber In cargo and car lots In Portland has ad vanced 50 cents per thousand In the last three months and that logs have gone up tl per thousand In the same period gave ground for the charge. Although the advance In retail prices at San Francisco has been S3 to $7 per thousand, nobody In that direction has attempted to explain the tremendous disparity In the amount of the Increase at points of manufac ture and distribution. It Is admitted by the steam schooner and sailing ves el operators that they have advanced the carrying rate $2.50 per thousand on account of strike difficulties at San Francisco. None of these troubles are therefore directly attributable to lum ber market conditions In the Pacific northwest. The government at Washington and United States Attorney Devlin of Cal ifornia will Immediately begin an In vestigation Into the alleged lumber trust operations, and It will be ascer tained whether the trust exists In tha Pacific northwest or In California or at hoth places. The San Francisco newspapers have charged that the Increased prices are due to a combination between the Weyerhaeuser timber syndicate, con- UN HAPPINESS DI8PELLED. Men and Women V'aanlmona Abont It. Many women weep and wall and refuse to be comforted because their once mag nificent tresses have become thin and faded. Many men Incline to profanity because the files bite through the thin thatch on their cranlums. It will be good news to the miserable of both sexes, to learn that Newbro's Herplclde has been placed upon the market. This Is the new scalp germicide and antiseptic that acts by destroying the germ or microbe that is the underlying cause of all hair de struction.

This Is a Question that has been agitating the sneriu b omce since yesieruay morn Ing, when the wily Jim left his com fortable home in the county Jail and Is now dwelling In parts unknown to Deputy Joe Blakelcyj Like other Indians who are con fined In the county jail at the Instance of the federal court In Portland, Barnhart was sometimes allowed to amuse himself by storing away wood In the court house basement, and otherwise helping about the Institu tion. As a general thing these diver sions are appreciated by the prisoners, and few Indians think of leaving. But yesterday morning the germ of discontent evidently became strong In the mind of Jim Barnhart, and he doubtless dreamed of the summer camps in the mountains -until he de elded to take a vacation. As It Is not likely the escape will leave the country, the officers believe Barnhart can be picked up again within a few weeks and a watch will be kept for him. He has 'several months yet to serve on a federal court sentence for taking liquor on the res ervatlon, and another charge also. HARD ONE ON ADAMS. Fastidious Writer Wlio "Lit," Thinks Place "Jay" Town Dislikes Dust. The following from this week's Promoter, is the opening paragraph of a story evidently meant to exploit the town of Adams: "A visit to Adams, situated In the eastern part Umatilla county, for the first time would Impress the visitor very strongly that It was, vulgarly speaking, a Jay town. The writer Ut from the Spokane flyer the other morning at the depot striking about eight Inches of dust which Is liberally spread all over the depot grounds. regardless of the fine raiment of the many lady passengers that patronize the railway at this point there appears to be no movement to wet down the depot gounds or cover the same with a more appropriate covering." YIELD IS LIGHT. Wheat lit the Stage Gulch District Yielding From 15 to 2S Buxlu-I. David Peebler. of Stage gulch, Is In the city today after harvest supplies nnd says that threshing In the west and northwest portions of the county is now In progress. ' In the vicinity of Singe gulch the wheat Is yielding from 15 to 20 bush els per acre and from Stage gulch- westward, much less than this, tn the section which was Injured by the spring freeze the wheat Is very light. However, the light yield Is somewhat balanced by the exceptionally good quality of the wheat Most of It In that section is testing over 60 pounds per bushel. Hnnd Mangled in Machinery. Whl'e cleaning a burr picker In the Pendleton woolen mill yesterday after noon, R. F. Parker, head carder and spinner, had his left hand badly In Jured by being caught In the machine. The last three fingers of his left hand were caught In the machinery and baly mangled. However, it Is said they will probably be saved. The in jured man was attended by Dr. T. H. Henderson. Baby's Arm Broken. While Tom Wood, a half-breed, was driving home across the reservation a few night ago, his little 9-months-old boy was Jolted from the seat and fell so that one ot the wheels passed over his right arm. The father at once returned to town with the boy and had his arm dressed by Dr. J. A, Best. It had been fractured In sever al placet. . Many words of most august sound prove to be of quite commonplace ancestry when traced to their origins. "Finance" is really only "settling up." Literally, It Is just "ending," and was formerly used in that very simple sense in the English language. Then It came to signify settling up with a creditor, and acquired the special sense of ransom. L SCOURING MILL WILL OPERATE TILL NOV. t. litis Means $10,000 More Will lie Puld Out for Wages at This Insti tution Tills Year Than Last There Are Fifty-Three Men Employed in Uio Mill and Baling Plant Much More Wool WUI Bo Haled This Your Tluin I Jit Wool Buyers Will Re nuiin Here During Scouring, Among other things that will tend to make business good in Pendleton this full Is the fact that the scouring mill Is to make a much longer run this year than usual, thereby keeping a force of over 60 men at work dur ing the summer and fall. F. E. Judd, manager of the mill, stated yesterduy afternoon that there Is sufficient wool on hand for scour ing to keep the plant going for three months longer. This will mean the operation of the mill until November 1, whereas last season the plant closed down ut the end of July. By the run that Is to be made this year, approximately J10.000 moro In wages will be paid -by the mill this year. The average weekly payroll now being (300. At present an average of 53 men are employed In the scouring mill and baling plant. In the scouring mill a force of 20 sorters Is at work under the direction of Foreman Dodson. In the scouring crew 16 men are cm ployed, the work being under the di rection of Dick Tteman. In the ware house seven truckers are kept con tinually employed, while the baling crew Is composed of 10 men. More wool is being baled this year than last, and according to Mr. Judd the whole amount baled will be close to 3.000,000 pounds, which Is also the estimated amount of wool that will be scoured. The baler will complete Its work in six or seven weeks more. Aside from the men employed In the mill the operation of the scour Ing mill also means the presence of several others during the season. The buyers who have wool scoured at the mill remain here while the snme Is being handled, and several are now here for that purpose. Among these are Charles H. Greene, representing the Koshlands, E. J. Burke, repre sentative of E. Y. Judd. and L. Straus, representing a San Francisco house. Also Dudley Hart, who left for the east Tuesday, was here for the same reason. Hor-c Ate the Provision. Edgar F. Averlll, city editor of the Tribune; Roland N. Oliver, the young Pendleton attorney, and G. E. Hunt er, the sheepmnn, returned to the city yesterday after a three weeks' camping trip in the mountains. While in th mountains they saw one benr which they were unable to secure, several deer, which they did not mo lest because of th law, and other things. On one occasion their horses ate up their stock of provisions, thus necessitating a trip to l& Grande to replenish the snme. Treating Wrong Disease. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they Imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep arate and distinct diseases, for which lie assuming them to bo such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they are all only tpnvumi caused by gome uterine disease. The physician. Ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages this prac tice until large bills are made. The suf fering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reuson of the deluy, wrong uuuciuauu uwurcfl uen b COlU plications. A proper medlcino like Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription, directed la the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all thoso distressing symptoms, and Instituting comfort in stead of prolonged misery. It has been well said, that "a disease known is half cured." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is s scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate system. It Is niacin of native medicinal roots and Is perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the tem. As a powerful invigorating tonic "Fa vorite Prescription" imparts strength to the wholn system and to the organs dis tinctly feminine, in particular, f or over worked, "worn-out," "run-down," debili tated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop girls," house-keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women gen erally, Dr. I'lerco's Favorite Prescription Is the greatest earthly boon, being un equaled as an appetizing cordial and re storative tonic. As a soothing and strengthening nerv ine "Favorite Prescription " is unequaled and is Invaluable, In allaying and sub duing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing, nerv ous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the litems.

Manufacture of Dcnntiirlzed Alcohol Oliens New- Field. More than 2000 people have applied to the Internal revenue bureau at Washington 'for a Job under the new undrlnkable free alcohol law which goes Into effect Junuary 1, next. It Is expected by the commissioner of Internal revenue when the law was passed that nearly all the alcohol to be made under the law would come from four or five big distilleries, which make nothing but high wines, and that consequently he would not have to Increase his force very much to handle the new business arising from the use of free alcohol In the arts and Industries, but recent infor mation received goes to show that this supposition will probably not be realized. The treasury department men In the south report thnt nenrly every one or the cane sugar mills and re fineries are making plans to Instnll a distillery, and thnt. therefore, It Is likely a considerable number of men will be needed to watch the denatur ing process for the government. The beet sugar makers are nlso re ported to he looking Into the new law with a view to going Into the alcohol business for the purpose of using up their present waste products. Porto Rico sugnr men are alse said to have an eye upon this field promising a considerable Increase In. their reve nues. The treasury department reports are that some of the sugar men of n ' ; " - - - t t 1 1 n New Department I MAX BAER'S IHfriM V ' MEN'S SHOP C2 30 Days Gigantic f Triangle Sale: the south have already made esti mates to the effect that they can make alcohol at a cost of not more than 10 cents a gallon, and the inter nal revenue bureau experts say If the sugar men can do anything of that kind they will have the big distilleries of tho middle west beaten to a stand still, us they do not believe grain dis tillers can compete at any such price.
