Grain Is ripening very rapidly and
harvesting has begun In some places
near here. There will be an average
yield of about 30 bushels to the acre
about here, while some will go a lit'
tie better. In some localities the
growers report that there will be
yield of nearly 40 bushels.

a short time, has returned home,

project Is still being done. The pipe
lines are only a little more than 40
per cent completed, and the hauling
and laying will continue until late In
the fall.
Extremely warm weather has pre
vailed in the west end of the county
the past few days. Yesterday was the
hottest day of the season.
INDIA FAMINE CON
DITIONS GROW WORSE
7
Despite the declaration of the Brit
ish officials that they have the situ
ation under control and that sufficient
relief supplies have been provided to
prevent any desperate suffering, re
ports from the interior state that the
famine conditions are dally growing
worse.
Over a million natives a,re declar
ed to be on the verge of starvation,
thousands are said to have succumb
ed with In the last few weeks and
gloomy prophesies are made that no
less than 10.000,000 will be forced to
subsist on charity or die miserably
during the summer and autumn.
While all of these statements can
not be verified, owing to the secrecy
of the government, which fears
widespread Insurrectionary movement
there is little doubt that India is fac
ing a grave crisis.
The recurrence of these terrible
famines is due to several causes, most
ly attributable to the Influence of the
British government Four-fifths of
the population are now entirely de
pendent on capricious crops for their
sustenance, and although great Irri
gation works have been carried out,
the state of agriculture Is still very
unstable.
Each peasant cultivates a little
patch of land, which supplies the bare
living for himself and his family
Vh-n the crop fall they are faced
with starvation. The British regime
provides regular employment for only
a fraction of the natives, while It has
killed a great deal of the native In
dustry and has imposed other condi
tions on the people which work
against the prosperity of the natives.
The taxes are high, and the economic
sytm Imposed by British rule Is un-
sulted to the conditions of native life.
Besides the millions of peasants
who are liable to starvation at the
slightest failure of crops, there Is an
enormous population of beggars1 and
worklessy people whose condition is
entirely hopeless during a famine.!
Many thousands of these are doomed
to a lingering death from Inanition.
The condition of the poor cratures
affected by the famine is pitiful be
yond words. Those who are forced
to apply for government relief have
been already living for months on
half or a quarter their usual allow
ances of food. Long experience has
Inured them to living on next to noth
ing. Many families have been living
on a dally handful of dried peas, oc
caslonally varied by wild fruit and
roots, or even less palatable food.
The famine being spread over a vast
territory, thousands of the natives are
miles from a government relief de
pot, and many of them die because
they cannot drag their wasted bodies
to the depots. For every thousand
persons who get relief, there must be
as many who are too weak, or per
haps too proud, to apply for It.
MOSCOW SALOONS WILL FIGHT.
Contend City Cannot Take Away Their I
Licenses.
Moscow Star-Mirror: Another of
Moscow's salons has closed Its doors, ,
The state and county license under!
which Joseph Nordhorst was run
ning expired on the 30th of June at i
midnight. The Commercial Bar on :
Main street closed Its doors last week, i
their county and state license having II
expired on the 22nd of June. This!
leaves Mosow with three saloons
still doing business. Each of these! I
three holds a county and state 11-1
cense which does not expire until
next April.
The ordinance recently passed by
the city council will compel these sa
loons to close after the 5th of August,
at which time their city licenses will I
have expired. From a source that;
cannot be doubted the Star-Mirror
has obtained Information to the ef
fect that one and perhaps all three
of these saloons will make an effort
to continue In business until their1
county and state licenses shall have!
expired. To this end counsel have
been engaged both local and In Spo
kane and the city may expect a stiff;
ight to uphold its ordinance. The
exact grounds upon which the sa
loon men will base their contentions
could not be learned, neither could
tne names of counsel engaged. It Is1
believed, however, that the principal1
oint is that the city of Moscow can-!
not pass a law which conflicts with
the stae laws, and It is contended that'
the ordinance In question does so I
conflict, Inasmuch as It seeks to rro-
hibit the sale of lijuor for which a
cense has been granted by the coun-
commislsoners under a state law.
This legal battle will attract wlde-
pread attention and the outcome will
be awaited with keen Interest, Of
course, It Is expected the test case will !
go through the supreme court.

WHY SO WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away Pendleton Peo
ple Have Learned This Fact.
When a healthy man or women be- i
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, depres
sed, suffers backache, headache, diz
zy spells and urinary disorders, look
to the kidneys for the cause of It all.
Keep the kidneys well and they will
keep you yell. Here Is Pendleton
testimony to prove It.
Mrs. E. J. Melners, living at 501
Lewis street, Pendleton, Ore., says:
"I have the utmost confidence In
Doan's Kidney Pills as they proved
of far greater value to me than any
remedy I previously used. I was
troubled for years with attacks of
kidney complaint accompanied by
severe case of backache and when'
ever I caught a cold, or during any
sudden change of the weather, my
kidneys became affected and my suf
ferlng was intensified Since learn
ing of Doan's Kidney Pills I have nor
cause to worry about kidney trouble,
as it only required a few doses of this
remedy to quickly check any return.
I keep Doan's Kirney Pills In the
house at all times, producing them
at The Pendleton Drug Co., and am
glad to recommend them to other
sufferers."
