The basketball game played here
Saturday evening between the P. C.
A. team of Verdleton ai:d the U. A.
A. C. 'was a good game, although tho
score was a little one-sided, being 41
to 21 in favor of Pendleton. It was
reported that our boys had Just de
feated The Dalles team, when as a
matter of fact this Is the first game
ever played with any outside team.
We have had three teams In our
club, which was organized after Now
Year's. The team which played
Pendleton was picked from these
three teams and thev practiced to
gether one time before this game, ro
that considering the little they know
about the game nnd the small
amount of practice had, we think
they did exceedingly well against
such odds. The Pendleton team was
the 3ame that defeated the Walla
Walla high school boys two games
a short time ago. For Perdleton
Penland played the star part, making
20 points, and Omer Stephens- did
the best work for the. home team,
making 16 points of the score. It
was a good all around game and we
are all satisfied with It. Following

DUNHAR MUST SHOW HOOKS.
Ex-Secretary of State Must Give an
Accounting of Fees.
L. H. McMahon sprung a surprise
In the Sears-Dunbar suit by serving
a summons upon Mr. Dunbar, com
manding him to appear before the
county clerk at 10 a. m. next Thurs
day, bring all his account and bank
books, and answer questions under
oath concerning the fees collected by
him while secretary of state, says a
Salem dispatch.
This proceeding is taken under a
statute very little used, and not very
generally known, permitting either
pnrty to a suit, before time for an
swer has expired, to compel the oth
er to give a deposition before a Jus
tice of the peace of a clerk of the
court regarding the facts In Issue.
McMahon's move is evidently the
direct result of a motion filed yes
terday by George G. Bingham, re
questing that Sears be required tn
state more definitely what fjes he
alleges Mr. Dunbar received, from
whom, at what times and for what
purpose. This Information Sears al
leged In his complaint he did not
possess, and now he Is endeavoring
to compel Dunbar to furnish the
data desired.
PROGRESS ON "NORTH BANK."
May Not He Completed Before Some
1008 Date.
When work began on the Portland
A Seattle railway it was given out
that the line would be completed by
January, 1:07. It now looks as If
the 7 should have been an 8, though
some contractors claim the track
will be laid from Kennewick to Van
couver by fall, is the latest summary
of the situation, - by The Dalle
Chronicle. No contractor working
along the banks of the Columbia can
form an Idea of the time his con
tract will take him. Twohy Bros.,
who know Just what they are about
In railroad building, it Is understood,
planned to complete their contract
across from The Dalles for a length
of 15 miles some time this spring,
and It will probably be August before
it is done. The severe winter has
been a great backset, little work be
ing done for weeks.
At rrcsent they have between 400
ari'l 500 men at work, with four
stenm shovels, one at Chlpman Pock
et, another a mile above here, still
another a mile beyond that, and one
at Big Eddy. The work is virtually
between "Grand Dalles" and Lyle,
Home light work and a few fills hav
ing yet to be done, which may re
quire six weeks.
The road Is being double tracked
from Kennewick westward, and this
double track will probably extend 20
miles. At the Vancouver end 20
miles will be similarly double
tracked. The construction firm of
Porter Bros. A Welch have a con
tract for construction of the 70 miles
on the west end, and are now work
ing 1200 men on the Job. They ex
pect to complete their contract by
the end of October, this year.
Unless the Columbia should go on
a rampage and far surpass Its ef
forts of 18SM. which is not likely,
high water will never touch the
track, as In no place Is the grade lens
than seven feet above the '94 mark,
and Is all the way from seven to
twenty-five feet above It.
The battleship Connecticut arrived
at New York on February 28 from
a West Indian cruise, with (5 mem
bers of the crew down with typhoid
fever. Fifteen were In a critical con
dition. All were Immediately trans
ferred to the navy hospital.
Northbound Rock Island passen
ger train No. 12 ran Into an open
switch at Enid, Okla., and was
wrecked. Fireman Wm. Davis of
Chlckasha was killed and the engi
neer and several passengers were Injured.

WOMEN SUFFER
Many women suffer in silenoa and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing well that they ought to have
immediate assistance.
How many women do yon know
who are perfectly well and strong?
The cause may be easily traced to
some feminine derangement which
manifests itself in depression of
spirits, reluctance to go anywhere
or do anything, backache, dragging
sensations, flatulency, nervousness,
and sleeplessness.
These: sy mptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, Dd un
less heeded, a life of suffering or a
serious operation is the inevitable
result. The best remedy for all
these symptoms is
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs. No other medicine in the country has
received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medi
cine has such a record of cures of female ills.
Miss J. E Walsh, of 338 W. 38th St., New York City, writes: "Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been of inestimable value in
restoring my health. I suffered from female illness which caused
dreadful headaches, dizsiness, and dull pains in my back, but your
medicine soon brought about a change in my general condition, built
me up and made me perfectly well,"
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cures Female Complaints,
such as Backache, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulcera
tion, and organic diseases. It U invaluable in preparing for child-birth
and during the Change of Life. It cures Nervous Prostration, Headache,
General Debility, and invigorates the whole system,
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation to Women
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to
write Mrs. Pinkham. at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free.
