"FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH."
September 13 Will Have Double Hoo
doo, for Superstitious MlndA.
Those who look with misgiving up
on anything that commences on a
Friday and who regard 13 as an un
lucky number, may look with super
stitious dread upon September 13, for
It will be Friday, the 13th. Whether
or not the day will bring forth a
panic In Wall street, such as Is de
picted In Thomas W. Lawson's novel,
remains to be seen. But It Is safe to
say that many will feel relieved when
the fateful day Is passed.
In the circuit court hero the case
of Reld vs. Nester, from Hermlston,
Is fixed for hearing on Friday, Sep
tember IS, and Colonel J. H. Raley
has already warned his opposing
counsel, R. R. Johnson, that the day
will bring forth nothing good for the
letter's client.

Kellogg and Others With Commis
sions From Roosevelt Direct Insist
I pon Taking Their Orders Direct
From the White House Will be
Made a Subject of Congressional
Investigation and Expect that Fa
voritism and Incompetence May be
Frown.
Kcw York, Sept. 7. A special to
the Sun from Washington says:
Attorney General Bonaparte has
decided that if he. is to remain at the
head of the department of Justice
and is expected to carry on an ag
gressive war against corporations ca
pable of enlisting the best legal tal
ent, he will have to get rid of the
dead timber In his department.
Kellogg and other special attorneys
have been well paid from the contin
gent fund, but these get their com
missions from the president direct
and seem dlsposd to take orders from
the White House rather than from the
department.
It has been suggested that when
congress Inquires Into Investigating
expenditures for special federal pros
ecutors. It will develop much criti
cism and positively show favoritism.

When his Portland relatives learn
ed that "J. A. Crane" had died,

says today:
"Taft's aspiration for the presiden
tial chair will be confronted shortly
by an unexpected and formidable ob
stacle entailing the political enmity of

nor of the Philippines, adopted a pol
icy of solicitude with the natives and
stirred up friction with the army peo
ple. The organized veterans are re
ported to be against him."

place the first of the week. In ad

shock of firing.
The Vermont Is of 16,000 tons dis
placement and has 16,500 Indicated
horsepower. She Is one of the largest
battleships ever built for the Ameri
can navy, and Is up-to-date In every
particular. She was constructed at

ltADLROAD COMPETITION:
IN FRUIT HANDLING
Nortliern Pacific Cars Being Hauled
Into Milton and Freewater Over
the Electric Line for Fruit Ship
ments Bulk of the Crop Is Being
Handled by the O. R. & N. But Or-
ders for Northern Pacific Cars Are
Being Filled Largest Fruit Crop
on Record.
For the first time In the history of
Milton and Freewater, those places
are now enjoying bona fide railroad
competition.
For the past few days tho inter
urban electric line has been hauling
Northern Pacific refrigerator cars In
to Milton to be loaded with fruit for
points on the Northern Pacific sys
tem.
Heretofore, the entire fruit crop of
the MIIton-Freewater district has
been shipped out over the O. R. &
N. and that system is handling the
bulk of the shipments this season, but
orders for Northern Pacific cars are
being filled daily.
The four packing houses in Milton
and Freewater are now rushed to
their fullest capacity in handling the
Immense fruit crop of that section.
Peaches, plums, gtapes, pears and
other varieties are now being ship
ped out In large quantities and sev
eral hundred people are employed In
the orchnrds and packing houses of
that district.
It is the best fruit crop ever enjoy
ed by that portion of the county and
prices are very good. The large crop
and favorable prices have stimulated
the fruit business until there Is a
strong movement in fruit and garden
lands along the line of the electric
road between Milton and Walla Wal
la and it Is evident that the entire
length of the road will be a solid or
chard and village within a few years.

In the assessor's office the work
upon the assessment rolls is still
under way and according to Assessor
Strain the total of the assessment for
this year will not be known until a
short time before the board meets.

This as a Precaution.
t
LOW WATER RESULTS IN
PI MPING FROM THE RACE
Typhoid Has Put In an Appearance
Recently After Over Five. Month
of Complete Freedom from Conta
gious Diseases of Any Kind In Pen
dleton Water from the Race Wad
a Necessary Though Temporary
Expedient, But the Public Sliould
Have Been Notified.
Within the past week or 10 days
quite a few cases of typhoid fever
have developed within the city, and
though the situation thus far Is not
really alarming. It has caused the
physicians to take notice. One fea
ture of the cases occurring recently
is the fact that in nearly every In
stance the patients have the disease
In a severe form.'
That the typhoid prevailing at this
time Is largely due to poor water
temporarily used In the city water
system Is freely declared by promi
nent doctors. But a short time ago
the water supply became low at tbe
pumping station, and to meet the
shortage some water was used from'
the Byers' mill race. Through this
action some fish got into the water
pipes, where they have since died,
thus contaminating the supply.
While it Is believed that the use of
the water from the mill race was the
only expedient open to the hoard, the
physicians declare that the people of
the town should have been 11011064
of It so they could have taken more
than the usual precautions regarding
the water.
That all water should be boiled be
fore use is advised by the medical
men. 4
Free of Contagion.
Until the last week or two the city
had Wen practically free of typhoid
this summer, and it has likewise been
remarkably free of contagious diseas
es. At the office of the city recorder
the last case of contagion reported
was a case of smallpox, which occur
red on March 21. '

Foctory Inspector Trumbull of the
.eastern Oregon district, who has been

compliments Pendleton Institutions on
their modern methods and appliances
and will make a flattering report on

forenoon for Adams, Weston, Athena

Wheat Yielded 45 Bushels. ,
W. P. Willaby of Athena is In the
city today and says he has Just fin
ished harvesting a bumper crop of
wheat which yielded 45 bushels to the
acre throughout While the hall did
some damage to his crop, yet the loss
from that source was so slight that
It was scarcely noticeable. He says
the hail stones cut the leaves from
ornamental and fruit trees In some
places and did considerable damage
to gardens.
