POSTOFFICE GROWS.
Receipts for May Are One-fourth
Greater Than Last May.
! For the Month of May Just closed
I the receipts at the Pendleton postof
' flee were more than 25 per cent
j greater than that for the same month
I last year. By the report of Harry
Kees. assistant postmaster, Just com
pleted, It Is shown that for the past
month the total receipts of the office
were $1546.74 while for May, 1907,
the receipts were but $933.60.
As much campaign literature was
mailed out during the past month It
is probable that the Increase was par
tially due to that cause., But It Is
improbable that sucn an enormous
Increase was caused In that manner.

Liquor Can Ho Handled on Trains

Baker Vote Out Saloons.
As a result of the heavy prohibition
vote cast in eastern Oregon counties
last Monday, the O. R. & N. railroad
now traverses a long "dry" atretcn
through Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow,
Umatilla and Union counties and the
only place at which thirsty travelers
can now secure a drink In an open
saloon between Portland and Baker
City Is at The Dalles, even Arlington.
the strongest small saloon town In
eastern Oregon, going "dry" by a
heavy vote.
For 233 miles In one stretch from
Deschutes to North Powder, the O.
R. & N. traverses "dry" territory.
Deschutes is on the boundary line be
tween Wasco and Sherman counties
and there the train enters the long
reach of prohibition territory, and
from that point until the train crosses
Powder river into Baker county, at
North Powder station, no liquor can
be sold on trains and none will be
purchasable in an open saloon after
July 1.
In that 233 miles of territory. 49
saloons In railroad towns have been
voted out of existence, as follows:
Arlington, 3; Umatitla, 3; Hermlston,
1; Echo, 4; Pendleton, 25; La Grande,
11; Hilgard, 1; North Powder, 1.
At North Powder where Powder
river runs through the town Is the
dividing line between Baker and
Union counties, Dave Beverldge, a
pioneer saloon man is preparing to
move his building just across the river
Into Baker county, 200 yards from
his present location, and declares that
he will continue In business.
However, since Baker county voted
five additional "dry" precincts this
year, making a total of nine in the
county, it Is the opinion of the people
of that county that the entlie county
will go "dry" at the next election,
and perhaps sooner, should a prohi
bition vote be requested.
As a result of the prohibition vote,
but little liquor will be handled on
dining cars hereafter and It Is thought
the company will abolish the prac
tice of carrying liquor on the curs,
altogether. The territory from Uma
tilla to the Washington state line on
the Washington division of the O. R.
& N. and from Pendleton to state line,
will be "dry" and so but little liquor
business can be done on cafe cars.
JOHN SCHMIDT WILL FARM.
Iroprletor of Ituvre Saloon Will Not
Leave Pendleton or Umatilla Coun
ty. John Schmidt, proprietor of the
Louvre saloon on Main street, and one
of the pioneer saloonmen of the city,
will move out to his wheat . farm
north of the city and will engage In
farming permanently. Mr. Schmidt
has made a fortune out of the liquor
business here and has Invested it Ju
diciously, having a large brick build
ing on Main street, a good wheat
farm and other property.
He has faith In Pendleton and
Umatilla county and will not leave
here. He has Just completed an ele
gant residence in the Cole addition
to the north side of the city and la
one of the most prosperous liquor
dealers in the county.
MAZE SALOON' CMWKI)
BY ATTACHMENT SUIT,
Fixture and Stock May lie Sold to
Satl.-fy Debt.
The. Maze saloon, on Court street,
Is now closed by an attachment sun
brought against its owners, Hansen
& Olsen, by George Brewer.
The suit was brought to recover a
claim of 31250 held by the plaintiff
and It Is undertsood that the fixtures
and liquor stock of the saloon will
be sold by the sheriff to satisfy the
debt. " . .

OREGON' VOTERS FAVOR
MANY NEW MEASURES.
BIG EAGLE COMING.
Deputy Grand president J. E. Rrfhk
of St. Johns to Visit Pendleton
Aerie.
Deputy Grand President X B.
Brink of the Fraternal Order of Ea-
Rccnll Is Adopted and Statement No.
1 Is Bolstered Up University Ap
propriation Carries.
Oregon voters favor the recall, the
limiting of campaign expenditures of
candidates, proportional representa
tion, and the Instruction of legislative
members to vote for the people's
choice for United States senator.
By adopting the measure Instruct
ing legislative members to vote for
the candidate receiving the highest
number of popular votes for United
States senator, the people have con
firmed statement No. 1.
The people have, apparently de
feated the proposed Increase In pay of
members of the legislature from $3
to $10 a day and voted against the
proposed Increase of judges on the su
preme bench. The proposed com
pulsory pass bill has been knocked
out by a landslide of disapproval and
woman's suffrage has gone down to
defeat once more, the vote against It
being even more decisive than In the
past, when greater interest was taken
In the question. The single tax also
went down to defeat, although not so
hard as some of the other proposed
measures.
There appears to be a desire on the
part of the people to scatter state In
stitutions and not keep them all at
Salem. The Idea of holding state
elections In November instead of June
also nppears to have met with gen
eral approval. The people have voted
favorably on the referendum measure
whereby sheriffs shall receive 12 hi
cents a meal for feeding prisoners.
The university appropriation has
carried, but was battered hard In
counties where there were large edu
cational Institutions. The armory ap
propriation Is supposed to have
squeezed through, but by what ma
jority is not known.
From such Indications as can be
gathered it Is safe to assume that five
of the measures were rejected and 1
accepted. Both the fish bills passed
and it looks as though the Reridy
amendment, or "open town" measure
had met with fnvnrable consideration.
That grand Juries and not district
attorneys should bring Indictments
was the opinion of the voters and this
measure has carried. The proposed
county of Hood River will be created
and the powers of the Port of Port
land will be Increased.
Werton Mountain Thriving:.
R. F. Jdhnson the pioneer resident
of Brlggson or Weston mountain Is
in the city today on a trading trip
and Is enthusiastic over the prospects
ahxad of his section. A larger acre
age of potatoes will be planted In
that favored district this year than
ever before and a larger amount of
produce will be shipped out next fall
than In any one year. The new mar
ket found In Seattle for the Weston
mountain potatoes has encouraged
the progressive people of that settle-
met to grow more potatoes and here
after Immense shipments will be
made from that section.
Musical Instructor Here.
Prof. J. L. Lehr, of the German
method of music, by which a scienti
fic chart giving instruction In 115
vital points In music, Is In the city
today from Seattle looking over the
field and will perhaps establish an
agency here. The new method has
met with eminent success wherever
Introduced and is a practical and
common sense method of musical In
structlon.
Will Ship Inland's Body.
The body of C. H. Bland, brother
of C. K. Bland, the Hermlston mer
chant, will be shipped east this eve,
nlng. The body goes to Kallspell,
Mont., for Interment. The father
and. a brother of the deceased arriv
ed here last evening and went to
Hermlston today. They. will accom
pany the body to Kallspell.
The
.General Demand
of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi
cians could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
knows to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial ia effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
In action.
In supplying that demand with Its
exoellent combination of Syrup pf
Firs and Elixir of Senna, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies en the merits
of the laxative for Its remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir ef Benna Is
given the preference by the Well-
informed. To get Its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
enlyand for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty seats per bottle.

HAUNTED BY OLD CRIMES.
Murderer of Family and Suicide Wan
One of Dalron Gang.
Fear that his home would be at
tacked should his early life of crime
become known. Is believed to have
caused Bert McMlllln to shoot and In
stantly kill his wife and two children
and then commit suicide. The trag
edy occurred on the ranch of Whit- (
more Thomas, near Labello, Mo., and
was witnessed by two f:irm hand's.
It developed thnt McMlllln was at
one time a member of the famous
Dalton gang of outlaws that terrorized
western Kansas and eastern Oklaho- j
nia a few years ago and that his I
brother Gus, also n member of the
gang, was shot to death In Oklaho-!
ma. Since coming here last October,
McMlllln has had very little to say
to his neighbors, and It Is believed
he lived in constant dread lest his
past life become known. Mrs. Mc
Mlllln often confided to friends that
her husband was constantly worrying.
McMlllln was 30 years of age and
his wife 27. They had been married
10 years.
