COULDN'T GET CENTRAL.
Editor of North Yakima Paper Hurl
ed Stone Through Window to
Awaken "Hello."
North Yakima, Wash., Aug. 7.
For the simple reason that Don H.
Upjohn, editor of the Morning Her
ald, this city, In a fit of anger, threw
a rock larger than a man's head
through a rear window of the Pa
cific States Telephone & Telegraph
company's building, Manager D. S.
Wilkeson Insists that the newspaper
man either pay the costs of the brok
en window or stand prosecution for
dlfaclng the building.
Upjohn claims he tried or half
an hour to get "central" a few nights
ago Just before time to go to press,
and as he was unable to reach the
girl with his dulcet voice he conclud
ed she was asleep, whereupon he
walked over to the office, which Is'
across the street, and hove a rock
Into the room. The girl was frighten
ed out of her wits for a minute, but
saw who it was and reported him to
the manager.
He will fight the case to the last
ditch. The bill amounts to $1.25.

Nile Rank Examiner Gives Easy Jobs
fi.t to Members of His Euinlly
.e ther Have Had Any Banking
Kxiierionee Xeixnlsm Is Sharply
Censured.
That State Treasurer Steel seems
to 'be determined to keep himself in
an unfavorable light before tho pub
lie, Is shown by tho following from
the Portland Oregonian, which says:
Again members of the Stool family
are in the spotlight, this time for ne
potism. When George Steel secured
for his brother James the $3000 of
flee of bank examiner last year, gos
sip ensued.
Then came the wreck of the bank
of the Title Guarantee & Trust com
pany, in which went down $400,000
state money, afterwards redeemed by
W. M. Ladd, thereby saving George
Steel from responsibility for a heavy
public loss.
Next was uncovered the political
pact between George Steel and Bank
er Ross for control of state funds
and their deposit In the now defunct
bank, and for enactment of a "friend
ly" bank law, under which James
Steel was appointed examiner.
All this and more brought the
Steels Into the limelight and made
them very uncomfortable. Now again
they are In the glare, this time be
cause James Steel has appointed as
assistant examiners, two sons-in-law,
each of them without previous exper.
lence In banking, and one of them a
failure in his own mercantile af
fairs. These young gentlemen have exam
ined the German-American bank,
Lidd & Tllton and Hibernian bank.
and comments in banking circles ar
anything but favorable to them.
Warrens was life Insurance solic
itor of Indifferent fortune and then
plunged Into the lumber mill business
In Yamhill county near Xewberg,
under the firm name, Warrens-Hun
Lumber company. Tills venture
made big debts and caused its credit
ors heavy losses.
Next Warrens is seen examining
banks, possessed of the authority of
the state so to do, reposed in him by
his father-in-law. This gave the cred
itors of his lumber venture and others
who know his unfitness for the posi
tion, a rude shock.
The talk immediately found its way
Into business circles and bankers who
have been examined are jesting about
the unpractlccd Inspectors that paid
them a visit. The bankers are a
queer lot, they Imagine that years of
training are needed to make a good
banker or a good examiner.
Ewlng Is well and favorably known
n. a teacher in Portland Academy
and as a prominent figure in the First
Presbytcri in church. Being without
a school Job this .summer he his fit
ted snugly Into the position of bank
examiner. Ewlng Is regarded as a
man of considerable ability and merit
but of little experience in bunking.
The work of the two examiners ap
pears satisfactory and they seem to
nccompllsh what the law requires.
But State Examiner Steel and State
Treasurer Steel both find themselves
once more charged with nepotism.
Lard Laden
Stomachs
''Necessity" is the mother of invention. Lard is
the father of mdigestion.
More than half the indigestion in the country
to-day is directly attributable to greasy, indigestible
food prepared with lard.
Cottolene is the original anti-lard product. It
was the first, and it is the best. It is purer, more
healthful, and will give better results than any other
shortening medium.
Just as the original is always
better than the imitation, Cotto
lene is superior to its imitators.
Ask your grocer for Cottolene,
and see that our trade-mark, a
steer's head in a cotton-plant
wreath, appears on the pail.
Cottolene is never sold in
bulk; therefore, is a cleanly prod
uct, absolutely protected from
all the odors and dust to which
lard is usually exposed in the
ordinary grocery store.

Gold Beach, Ore., Aug. 7. Sheep
shearing Is about completed In this
part of the country. The clip has
averaged fairly well, but there will
be little or no selling at present
prices. Sheepmen think a rise In
prices Is to be expected and almost
without exception will hold for It
Offers have been made as low as
13 cents. T. S. Dickens of San Fran
cisco lately passed through the
county, but made no offers, saying he
could not meet tho 16 cents which
was asked by the growers here. The
closing of the California mills Is held
to be responsible for the low prices.
Last year at this time wool was
bringing 21 and 22 cents. The woor
situation Is tho first touch which res
idents have had of tho hard times.

The annual catalogue of the Oregon
Agricultural college for 1908-9, with
list of students for 1907-8, is Just off
the press and the East Oregonian
acknowledges the. receipt of a copy
at this office. It Is a book of 240
pages besides 47 pages of splendid
Illustrations, showing to good advan
tage almost every phase of college
life, Inside and out, as found at this
popular and rapidly growing Insti
tution of learning.
Something of the scope of this
school will be appreciated by noting
that 1156 students wero enrolled last
year, coming from practically every
county In the state, several outslda
states and some from other ountrles.
The names of 73 instructors appears
In t'.e faculty for the coming yeaf,
with four places yet to fill, quite a
number having been added since last
enr. ,
A fair per cent of last year's grad
uates are from the agricultural de
partment and It Is encouraging to note
that the percentage In this depart
ment Is on the Increase.
Every farmer In Oregoij should
have a copy of this catalogue nnd fa
miliarize himself witli the work of
the Institution, whether ho has any
ehlldrt n to educate or not.
