An inspection of the conditions at the poor farm was made yesterday afternoon by four members of the local ministerial association and since they have been through the Institution the churchmen speak in a most com plimentary' way of the institution. The inspection was made at the In stance of Rev. Storey of the Baptist church, to whom complaints had been made regarding the treatment of some of the poor farm inmates. Yes terday morning the ministers took the matter to County Judge Gllllland and the judge Immediately proposed that nn Investigation be made that afternoon. . . T.i,' Accordingly a party consisting of Messrs. Storey, Qulnney, Meldrum and Lieu.illen. Dsitrict Attorney Phelps, County Judge Gilliiand and Commis sioner Horace Walker and C. J. Fer guson as stenographer, was formed. I P'"m arriving at the poor farm different Inmates were in turn brought before the group and aftr first be ing sworn, were asked numerous questions regarding their general care and treatment. Without exception those questioned all spoke favorably of Superintendent McDIll and said the food given them and their general care was all that could be desired. When the two old men who had previously complained to Mr. Storey, were questioned, they both Insisted that they had no complaints of any consequence. Accordingly the visitors returned to the city fully satisfied with the administration of the poor farm and they now speak in a congratulatory manner of the work done by Joe Mc-Dlir.

Counterfeiters Busy In Different Parts of the Country Appear in Oregon. Counterfeiters In several parts of the country have been busy during the winter and recently efforts of their work have Just appeared In the mar ket. Notification of three new spuri ous notes have been received by the treasury department officials In Port land. Ono of them is a $20 gold certifi cate and while It is a good represen tation of the original issue by Vncle Sam. the color is-a little off, the counterfeiter not being particular re garding the ink, the result being that his new bill Is the shade of a nice ripe lemon instead of the orange shade in the genuine bills. This new bill turned up in New York. It is remarkably well done, the counterfeiter having paid partic ular attention to nearly all the minor details except the color. The bill was done by means of photo etched plates, afterward given impressions on two sheets of paper with silk threads between. Another of the recent bills first was discovered In southeastern Missouri and was evidently the work of farmer boys who tired of following the plow and doing chores about the old home stead had decided to get rich quick and Jive with ease without working, fncle Sam xrill attend to the question of meSls ?ua oeas v rju"t if they are caught. This note Is a particularly crude affair of the national bank note of the $10 denomination. It Is also the re sult of photo etched plates and the Ink being rough and carelessly han dled. It Is a poor Imitation. An other note which has recently appear ed Is that of a silvnr certificate of the Indian head variety, W BOSTON STORE Sole Agents Where Trade to Save Will M.

The meeting was quite enthusiastic and harmonious and it Is to be re tread of legion" and "Statement No. 1" Is hereafter an Inseparable func tion of politics, and the people, re gardless of party, are going to have a voice In the election of U. S. senators as well as In making their laws. Party Is nothing, It Is a fraud, when the political "boss" flagellates It Into action at his bidding without its members being advised. The peo ple of all parties now realize it; and It Is history too well known to gain say that every Invasion of the people upon the methods of the "boss" cause him to "suueal." Let the democratic party In Uma tilla county and the state of Oregon be guided by that ono living prlclple "The people shall rule." Remember the date, May 2, 190S, at 1 p. m.. Very respectfully, your most obedient servant. WILL M. PETERSON, J inairmnn Democratic Central Com mlttee. Praise for Carden.

The building was erected by a brewing company many years ago and was purchased by "Dutch" 'Henry a few years ago to be used as a coal storage bin. A new sidetrack will be built by the O. R & N. and the ground upon which the building has stood will be needed for that purpose, such other and further business as might be expedient. It was further agreed that a general invitation be given to all democrats of trie county to be present at that time. The salutary principles of our pn- mary election law are meeting i.n the- hearty approval of all parties, es pecially the great mass of the com mon people, and the "boss." the "Job ber," the "political trickster' in ure gon politics is noticeably getting to be a thing of the past. An era of good, clean, wholesome government In which all of the peo ple are at liberty to take an active part Is now at our service. But po litical parties are very essential, un der our system of government, and democracy must continue to play Its part; this Is why, at this time, In this county, we are seeking to have a gen eral meeting of the various commit teemen and democrats In ganeral on the aforesaid date. We must understand each other; must know where we are, and as lorm as I am chairman of the.feentral com mittee no "Jobs' 'shall be put up; no "bosses" shall rule, but the people who compose the democratic party In Umatilla county shall be heard, and It shall be my purpose to Keep In touch with the demands of the party as nearly as I can and I earn estly solicit the hearty co-operation of every member of the party. "Statement No. 1" and the princi ples of the primary law In general are likely to be a happy "Incurable Itch," resulting In a revolution of po litical methods. The results of the recent primary election show the In vincible trend of the peopl "the U DON'T M how much siiffiTlng you can avoid by idling the "Jitters or you would stop experimenting and stick to this sov ereign remedy.
