Clark, Jr., In "Cow- boy's Prayer." GEORGE W ASHINGTON IN 1907. The poEtoffica windows were closed today, the janitor of the public school buildings displayed the flag, the banks turned the sign "bank closed" to the public view, the door3 ct the (tores were closed, but the clerks and proprietors worked .furi ously In cleaning up. rearranging and making ready for a big Saturday trade, and at the missionary meet ing this afternoon a paper on George "Tahlnston was read. By these outward tokens we are ren in 'led' that February 22 Is Wash ington's birthday anniversary. But Low many of these practices would be followed were It not for the law requiring It .' Utra many Americans engaged In getting money today, would volun tarily close up, give the force a holi day and ccleorate in spirit, the an niversary of Was hlngton's birth? It may b heartless to usk it. But how many vouM do it? mote development of the county comes so blow ly. That Pendleton will be the site of a larpe sawntilllng plant in the near future Is the confident expectation of tl ose conversant with the facts. The vast belt of timber south of here will not long remain as It is. The rilot Rock branch of the O. U. .4 X. and a p-oponed ipur running from this city to the foot of the Blu mountains through lie Tiiluilln flats will tap one of ilic best bodies of timber left standing In the west. Such an opportunity will not go lone- unheeded. The reclamation' of the idle land In the west and north sides of the coun ty promises a large now settlement. Electric linos are now coming this way, and will complete the transpor tation facilities. All of these promises roake up a splendid future for the courtly. IRRIGATION CODE LOST.

CURES ARE SPEEDY AND PERMANENT "I'wm afflicted with eczema on my (ace and bands and I used medical treat ment for two weeks, but to no avail. I then commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment for a little over a month I was entirely cured, Miss Jennie B. Chamberlain, Marcy, R. F. D. No. 1, N. Y., May 28th, 1906." ANOTHER CURE "I suffered for more than ten years with a skin disease. Sores were on my , legs and they made me sick. Physicians were called in to attend to me, but they did me no good. Nothing seemed to do me any good until one day one of my friends advised me to try the Cuticura Remedies and which I did, and in less than four weeks I was made well. I used the Complete Treatment, consist ing of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint ment and Cuticura Pills and I found thern all very successful. My friends were surprised at such a quick cure, and I am glad to tell everybody what the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. liertha Simpson, Alviso, Calif., May 21, 1906." AND STILL ANOTHER "My two children had the eczema, the first one had it for five months all over the body and we had two doctors treat her. I saw the Cuticura liemediea advertised and bought the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and Cuti cura Pills, and after using them it wasn't but a short while before she was cured. My other child was also nlllicted and the Cuticura Kemediea cured her also. We think the Cuticura Remedies the best on tlie market, and we always keep the Cuticura Soup arid Cuticura Oint ment on hand. R. It. Crowson, Love lady, Texas, May 30, 1906." SoM throughout thrvorld.

Although the eastern Oregon dele gation In the house made a gallant fight for the nmended Irrigation code which came up for final passage In ti e house vestorday, that measure was defeated by a bare majority of two votes. The bill had been amended to meet the objections of the Interests lined up against It, and only applied to eastern Oregon. The power which the original bill gave to the state en gineer was taken away from It. Its heavy appropriations were pruned ' down. Its interference with legiti mate private power and irrigation schemes was reduced to a minimum and it should have passed by all means. In its amended form. The action of Representatives Bar rett and Steen of Umatilla county In standing by the measure will be long remembered by the friends of honest water legislation. Mr. Barrett was carried from his Bick bed to vote against the Indefinite postponement of the bill. The only eastern Oregon member who did not stand up gallantly for the measure was Representative Slusher cf Umatilla and Morrow counties, who absented himself from the house and could not be found when the postponement of the bill was voted UDOll. When but two votes would have saved this measure which had been remodeled to meet the objections to It, It seems unfortunate that any eastern Oregon man should have de serted at the critical time. , r. n r a T7 in HM Al HM till IIEI Au II M n HBI II wmm 1 HE I'OWEIJ OF 15ECALL. The di feat of the Xcwell bill giving but 25 per cent of the people the power ti recall an objectionable offi cial vas perfectly proper. It is not the intention of the promoters of this principle to make It a weapon in the hands of a small majority of the people, nor to reduce It to the level of a club for a few agitators. The principle is right and will pre vail 'n time. The people, the electors should have the same power to recall a dlvhonest official from ' office as thty have to ce.ll the official Into of fice in the first place. The bill should have provided for a recall vote of at least 51 per cent of voters. The East Oregonlan would gladly acept a law providing for a 60 per cent vote for the recall of a dis honest official. The law Is Just and right, but the rights of the official must bo safeguarded by making the majority necessary for a recall large enough to represent the bona fide electorate of the state. When over half of the people are dissatisfied with an official It Is time l.e was recalled from office. LIMIT NUMBER OF SALOONS. The Portland city council has Just passed a remarkable ordinance for Portland, which has been dominated by the liquor Interests' so long. The saloon license has been raised from 1500 to $800 per year and a provision In the high license ordinance limits the number of saloons to be conducted In the city. On March 31, when the new ordinance takes effect, all saloons in operation at that time may secure new licenses, but no more saloons will bo licensed there after until the pro rata of population is 500 people to each saloon. That means "Indefinite postpone ment" of lirtnses after Match 31, for the present pro rata of population to saloons Is but little over 400. In Pendleton the pro rata of popu lation Is 22', placing the population at 7000 and the number of saloons at 30. In The Dalles, the pro rata of reputation Is about 165 people to each saloon and In La Grande, 200. They have passed an ordinance In Enterprise, Wallowa county, prohib iting frame buildings In the city lim its In the future. Only brick or stone structures go hereafter.

PURIFIES .fc.THE BLOOD As, every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs, impurities and poisons. As long as it remains uncontamiuated we are for tified against disease and health is nssured ; but any humor or impurity acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health, or culminates in some special blood disease. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid, or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the HqH, rrd rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-.scutcd blood diseases that continue to grow worse as long as the impurity or poison remains in the circulation. Some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see the effect manifested in various ways. The skin ha3 a pallid, waxy appearance, the eyes are weak, glands in the neck often enlarged and usually the body is not fully developed or 6trongr, btcause it has always been fed on weak, impure blood. In allblood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health-sustaining, Kothing reaches inherited Mood troubles like S. S. S.: it removes every particle of taint, purifies and F'.rettKthens the weak, deteriorated blood, supplies it with the healthful properties it needs and establishes the foundation for good health. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and all blood diseases and disorders are cured permanently by S. S. S. It is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is the King of all blood purifiers. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired tent free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
