When well-known residents and respected people of Pendleton make such statements as the following, It must carry conviction to every reader: H. M. Delaporte, trader and stock man, living at the Alta House, Pendle ton, Ore., says: "I want to say that I am generally pre judiced against pat ent medicines, but I know one such remedy to contain genuine merit. .About three months ago I had a bad accident, smashing my left shoulder, and thlR affected my whole side and back, which must have been severely wrenched. My kidneys soon become Irregular and this was especially the caso at night. I would have to got up so often that my red was much dis turbed and It cauved much pain In my condition. Doctoring did not hava any effect My attention was called to Tran's Kidney Pills and I got a box at the Pendleton Drug Co.'s drug store. It was simply astonishing the way this remedy took hold on the trouble, bringing relief from the first dose and before I had used one box rry back and kidneys were in better shape than ever before I had the ac cident I have spoken of."

The dam and head gates at the intake of the govern ment ditch are now finished. Consld erable delay was caused in this work earlier In the season by the non arrival of material and the high water of a few weeks ago stopped the work and done considerable damage. For a time It was feared that it would be impossible to complete the structure this season. Fortunately that was not the case and the work at this point is now completed according to the specifications and in a manner satis factory to the government engineers. Prof. L. W. Keylor, prlnctpal of the public school here, who has been un able to attend to his duties the past week on account of throat trouble, has recovered and will resume his work Monday. B. F.

According to the old settlers there has been no sleighing here for the last seven years, and then only for about a week, this record, together with the fact that there was a period of over seven months with out any frost the past season, gives some idea of the possibilities here for the future, under irrigation. .

Fortunately there was no train near at the time, a westbound being held for an hour or more while the section men repaired the damages. Echo Out of Coal. Echo Is now entirely out of coal and It is hard to say when the dealers will be able to get any of the supply ordered long ago.
