Principal W. H. Bleakney of the
academy, to whom all communica
tions concerning the scholarships
should be addressed.
The counties In which these free
scholarships will be distributed are
as follows: Wallowa, Union, Baker,
Grant, Harney, Malheur, Lake, Kla
math, Crook, Wasco, Hood River,
Sherman, Wheeler, Gilliam, Morrow
and Umatilla, and the distribution of
the gifts will bring an excellent class
of young people to this city to at
tend this growing and popular Insti

emy to give away scholarships to
newspapers in the various counties,
and this method of advertising has
proved to be extremely beneficial.
Hereafter the distribution of the
scholarships will be a feature of the
academy's work, in appreciation of
the patronage received from the east
ern Oregon counties.

, Runaway on Court Street.
A young team belonging to Bruno
Webber of the reservation, ran away,
hitched to a hack, on Court street,
thla forenoon. In turning the corner
into Court street at the Commercial
National bank the hack veered when
it struck the curbing and almost turn

In the investigation of the treas
urer's office a mistake of $2 in favor
of County Treasurer Bradley was
found, and also a mistake of $9.90
against the treasurer, both of which
have been corrected.
. Fines Still Unpaid.
In regard to unpaid fines the report
says: "In going through the records
of the circuit court the examiner finds
a number of fines and ball forfeitures
of which apparently no disposition
has been made and which it Is deemed
may properly be embodied In this re
port, for such action as may be deem
ed best by this court. Following Is
the list in detail:
October 14, 1905, R. Estes. fined
$50 for Rambling; unpaid and un
served.
October 14, 1905, J. Skoglnnd, fined
$50 for gambling: unpaid and un
served.
November 2, 1905. B. B. Llvermore,
fined $100 for selling liquor to Indl
nn, unpaid and unserved.
November 2. 1905, D. Carlin, fined
$100 for selling liquor to Indian, un
paid and unserved.
October 6, 1906. E. Dickey, fined
$25 for larceny, unpaid and unserved
January 22, 1907, Virgil Wade, ball
bond of $250 forfeited; Joe Sullivan
and C. A. Nelson, sureties; no Judg'
ment docket, nor execution Issued.
March 2fi, 1907, Jack Noble fined
$50 for gambling and $50 for mal
feasance in office; both unpaid and
unserved.
April 13, 1907, Wm. Wells, fined
$50 for gambling, unpaid and unserv
ed.
February 8, 1908, L. Swaggart, fin
ed $100 for gambling; C. C. Journal
W, page 509, shows payment of this
fine to county clerk, but same has not
been turned over to county treasury,
and fine was not served out in Jail."
Conclusion.
The general financial condition of
Umatilla county should be a subject
of interest to the taxpayers of the
county, as it must be a source of pride
to the board of county commissioners.
With a cash balance in the county
coffers of $73,461.7.4 ;a registered In
debtedness, uncalled, of but $51,415.
98; registered warrants called to
within a few months from date, and
property within its borders of the
assessed valuation of over $42,000,000,
the county is unquestionably in bet
ter financial condition today than ever
before.

MORROWS WHEAT
CROP IS VERY SHY.
Bunchgrass Region Raises but One
fifth of Lflst Year's Production.
Morrow county will raise about
one-fifth of the wheat It produced
last year, according to C A. Rea,
president of the First National bank
of Heppner, who resides in Portland,
but has been passing several weeks
in the bunchgrass region of Eastern
Oregon recently, says the Telegram
"Last year Morrow county produc
ed 2,500,000 bushels." he says, "but
this season she will harvest about
500,000. The wheat produced in this
section is raised mostly in the foot
hills around Heppner, while the
prairies around Penland butte and
the Columbia river have no need of
combined harvesters, as the grain
had barely sprouted before It dried
up. I took a buggy ride all through
the northern end of the county and
found no field worth harvesting,
Around Upper Eight-mile and Hard
man. In the southern part of the
county, wheat will average about 25
bushels to the acre, and as buyers are
offering 75 cents a bushel at the
railroad stations, those having wheat
will make money this year.
"But Morrow county farmers are
out of debt, as a result of several
good crops and good prices. Many of
them have money to loan out, and so
they ar able to stand a dry season
at this time, without trying to mort
gage their farmB In borrowing to tide
over another season."

Held for Death 'of ftepor.
Pat Croghan, a well known charac
ter in northern British Columbia, has
been arrested for the murder of his
stepson, Ben Croghan, In the neigh
borhood of Port Nelson on the Naas
river. The arrangements for the trial
have been referred to the attorney
general.

That the Umatlllu Indian reserva
tion Is a fruitful source of Income and
business for the city of Pendleton is
shown by the fact that practically
$125,000. or $125 per capita, for ev
ery man, woman and child of the
tribe hus been paid out during the
past year.
This amount of money has been
put out to some members of the tribe
in hirge sums, to others In monthly
Installments and still to others In only
partial payments of the total sum
due them. Many heirship titles are
in . dispute, and until these are set
tled and the rents for the
lands in question and from the es
tates of deceased Indians can not be
paid out, but it has been the policy
of Agent McFatridge to pay every
cent due every Indian, except small
minor children, as fast as the money
was collected, where there was no
dispute over Its possession.
This vast sum of money has been
expended among Pendleton business
firms as son as It was paid to the In
dians, and has formed a large part
of the business volume of the city.
The amounts to be paid from year to
year will Increase as more and more
heirship lands are sold, and within a
few years the tribe will be drawing
the largest per capita payments of
any Northwest tribe.
'There Is now but very little dissat
isfaction among the Indians as to
any policy being pursued by Agent
McFatridge on the Umatilla reserva
tion. A small number of the older
Indians, Including hlef No Shirt, and
Umupine, perpetually complain about
something, but among the younger
and more progressive Indians there
are no complaints, and the tribe Is
making more vital progress than any
of the other Northwest tribes.

Supreme Court Finds No Validity in
Unwritten Law.
Salem, Ore., Aug. 5. In an opin
ion by Commissioner Slater the su
preme court today affirmed the de
cree of Judge J. B. Cleland of the
circuit court of Multnomah county In
the case of the state against Joe
Young, who was convicted ot as
sault with a dangerous weapon upon
Caspar Van Dran in Portland three
years ago and Is now serving a sen
tence of six years In the penitentiary
The principle defense set up by
Toung was that the assault was nec-
essaiftr to prevent Van Dran from
committing a crime upon Young's
wife. The court holds that a husband
is not justified in killing or attempt
ing to kill another to prevent the de
bauching of his wife by artifice or
fraud, and if the act is by the con
sent of the wife, the husband, find
ing the offender even at the time and
killing him. Is guilty of manslaugh
ter. This ruling puts the stamp of
disapproval upon the theory of the
unwritten law.
Consideration of the petition for
rehearing in the case of the state vs.
T. J. Luper, convicted of perjury, was
rendered unnecessary because the de
fendant has been pardoned In the
meantime, and the opinion affirming
the Judgment of conviction given sev
eral weeks ago Is withheld from publication.

Wouldn't Buy HI Wife a Gallon a
Day, He SaldL.
Cleveland, Aug. 6. Because he
chose imprisonment rather than sup
plying his wife's demands for Ice
cream, Joseph Smok of No. 4307 St.
Clair avenue was sentenced to the
workhouse for six months and fined
$200 and costs of prosecution by Po
lice Judge Manuel Levlne today.
Mrs. Smok caused her husband's
arrest on complaint that he struck
her when she asked for money to buy
Ice cream. He told the court she
consumed a gallon a day and took
money from his pockets and his
trunk to buy It
"You can go to the 'works or buy
her Ice cream," ruled the Judge. "A
woman Is entitled to Ice cream occa
sionally." Smok chose the "works," saying
"I'd rather go to the 'works' for a
hundred years than live with an Ice
cream fiend."

Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ance between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with a large capital. One of the
functions of
A Bank's Capital
is to protect its depositors from possible loss;
therefore the larger it is, the greater protec
tion the depositors have.
