GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From he day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing only fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well "
established rules of economy. We can sell
you fresher and better goods and more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and.be convinced.

for
for
It was not always the custom
the people of this place to wait
court sessions In order to mete out
Just deserts to those who had offend
ed.
"In early days we used to have fake
courts once in a while that answered
the purpose just as well as a real
court." said John Bentley yesterday
while his mind wandered back to the
days before the "Jron horse" was
known in this section.
"If a fellow came here that we
knew wasn't any good and we wanted
to get rid of him we held a session
of 'court.' We would get some good
looking man to act as Judge and five
or six other fellows to be Jurors. The
fellow would be found guilty and sen
tenced to about a year In Jail. A
fictitious 'officer' would then star!
to take him to Jail, but on the way
would pretend to get , sympathetic
and let the fellow get away. None
of them would ever come back
"This "was all before the railroad
was built through eastern Oregon
When the first train made the trip
through here a party of half a dozen
Pendleton men made, the trip out
and they had a good time. Their
first stunt was to buy everything the
peanut butcher had In stock."
Joke on W. J. Furnish.
According toCol. Bentley some of
he local people had difficulties
while traveling In those days but he
s reluctant to tell of them. On in
stance that he still rememDers,
though, constitutes a Joke on W. J.
Furnish.
"Will Furnish was Just a boy then,"
says the old pioneer, "and he went
to Portland one day with a number
of other people. We went from The,
Dalles to Portland by.boat and it was
while Will Furnish was going on
board the boat that the Joke happen
ed. There was a great big mirror In
the cabin of the boat and the reflec
tions In it were so real that when he
came into the cabin he went right up
to the glass to shake hands with ul
while we were sitting at the other
end."

North Pole Mine Closed Down,
Reports from the Sumpter district
stating that the North -Pole, one of
the oldest and always considered one
of tihe best mines of the great north
west had shut down seemed to be
verified today, says the Baker City
Herald.
Men who have been employed at
the mine reached Baker yesterday
evening and say that according to or
ders the mine has closed Indefinitely.
The reason for this action-is not def
initely stated, some, however, con
tending that the ore supply has given
out. If this be true it Is probable
that extensive development work will
be undertaken to block out another
ore body, as there Is too much money
Invested In the old North Pole mine
for It to lie Idle any length of time
During the past decade this mine
has been prominent as a gold pro.
ducer tind many fortunes have been
takfil out of it. Working as a close
corporation it was never possible for
the public to ascertain Just what the
mine was doing In a financial way,
hut the fact that many men have
grown Tich from Its product Is of
evidence.

INFAMOUS CHARGES
AGAINST SHERIFF TAYLOR
Walla Walla Convict M ho Has Duped
the ltrlttaln Family at Walla Wul
la in Regard to Finding Tlielr Lost
Child, .Makes Ugly Clutrgce Against
a Number of Worthy and Efficient
Officials. .
That Breen, the Walla Walla con
vict, is a colossal liar and incidental
ly a decided scoundrel, Is the esti
mate of Sheriff T. D. Taylor who came
home from the Garden City yester
day after having been there In con
nection with the case of the lost Cecil
Brittaln.
Certainly there are some things in
connection with Breen that Justifies
the sheriff In his opinion. When he
told the Washington prison authori
ties that he knew of Cecil Brlttlan's
whereabouts Breen did some tall
lying regarding Sheriff Taylor.
According to the story that Breen
poured forth to some of the officials
before he was given the conditional
pardon, the kidnapers of Cecil Brit
tain had been aided by the Umatilla
county sheriff. He said that he had
delayed action against them and had
forced Harry Draper to take his
bloodhounds off the chase by threat
ening to kill them If he did not.
That these accusations against
Sheriff Taylor were dastardly false
hoods goes without saying. They
were considered as such by every one
who knew the sheriff and the part he
took in trying to find the missing
boy.
At Walla Walla yesterday Breen
was confronted by Sheriff Taylor In
the presence of a number of witness
es and he denied, absolutely having
made any such statements regarding
him. However, It Is known that he
did make such statements.
At the time little Cecil Brittaln dls-
ppeared from the Toll Gate It was
Sheriff Taylor's theory that the child
ad become lost In the mountains and
perished. This morning he said he
still Inclined to that theory, re
gardless of the many rumors con
cerning the boy. v
Stockyards Office at Echo.
While here yesterday, W. . H.
Daughtrey, of the Union stockyards
company, bought a set of office fur-
lture to be used In a branch office
which the company will open at
Echo. H. S. Bludgell will be the
Echo agent for the company. The
office equipment was shipped to
Echo today by Sharon & Eddlngs.
Iowa Banker Was Here.
W. IJ. Burton, an uncle of Len
Sharon, stopped here last night upon
a visit with his nephew. He Is a res
ident of Little Rook, Iowa, and Is a
banker, councilman, stockman and
prominent man of the Iowa town. He
left today for Portland to visit with
a brother and intends to stop here
again while en route east.

BOOSTS FOR HERMISTON,
The Landsman Tells Why Its Section
of County Is Best.
The Landsman, Issued at Hermls
ton glvesh the following reasons for
supporting Its town:
The LunAsman Is very partisan. In
fact It Is published for purely partisan
reasons. It takes but one side Of the
questions that come within its Juris
diction. It believes that the Umatilla
project Is the best 20,000 acres In
America and it won't listen to any
one .who thinks differently.
It knows that a man who cannot
see great opportunities here is too
thickheaded for Its consideration. It
believes in hanging the man who
knocks anything here, for such a man
does irreparable Injury to his fel
lows.
It would administer the water cure
to the pessimist for. extreme optim
ism Is our motto, and any man who
doesn't need heroic treatment Is
healthy minded enough to see the
brilliant, rich and beautiful future of
this selected spot. I
The Landsman abhors the sluggard!
and the man of weak courage, and
admires the progressive men of nerve
and force who are adding dally to the
development of this richly assayed
lead of fruit Industry.
Severe Storm In Union County.
With reports from every city and
town in the valley to corroborate the
general and severe storm has not vis

years, than that which last evening
passed over this city, and visited
every other community with a more
or less degree of severity, says the La
Grande Observer. Union and Cove

Big Yield of Wheat Hay.
E. C. Watkins was in town Satur
day. He stated that he had just flnr
Ishod putting up 10 acres of blue stem
wheat hay which turned out the big
gest yield of anything we have heard
of this season, says the Hepstier Ga
The grain was grown on bottom
land on Bob Dexter's place on upper
Willow creek, and from 10 acres 'cut
the yield was 33 tons of the best of
hay.
An offer of $10 per ton was made
for hay right in the field.
This Is an average of $33 an acre
which Is a big profit. Wheat hay
loose Is selling for $12 and baled at
$14 perton In Heppner.
"Usual Yield" 40 Bushels.
The unusual yield for this season
of 40 bushels per acre was secured
by C. F. Bulflnch from 20 acres of
Jones Fife wheat at his place north
of town. This Is a fine milling va
riety and a good ylelder. Potatoes
were grown last year on the tract of
ground which . produced It. Weston
