Smith, Both Valuable Canines, Secure Poison and Die in Short Time. According to a letter Just received from Congressman Ellis there Is not a very cheering prospect that Pendle ton's new post office and federal court building will be erected within the next few weeks. It seems that a large part of the delay was occasion- g lndlvldual. Dr. c. j. Smltn ed by the long time required In clear- ,,,. ,, , rarfha nD.or nre Unterrified by threats of venge ance", offers of rewards or the threat- i f ned employment of a detective, the ' North Pendleton dog poisoner Is still , getting in his distardly and cowardly ! work. Two more highly prized dogs have iust fallen victims to this un- ing the title to the local ground and that the Pendleton building must wait until after others which slipped in ahead of it during the wait, have been completed. The following Is from a letter re ceived from the congressman, in an swer to an Inquiry concerning the post office situation: -I will sav that for the reason and family and Miss Bertha Anger are j the latest mourners. ; Miss Anger's dog was a bull pit I terrter while the Smith dog was the ! pretty white spitz.

"J might add that this time is a very poor time to Increase appropri ation as the great cry Is economy. Of one thing I feel quite sure that is that no one takes more pride in hav ign a federal building at Pendleton than myself, and I will not overlook any opportunity to have it erected at the earliest day possible."

It is my advice that a capable commander be secured at once and the company recruited up to a satisfactory strength. When the men are enlisted I will come here personally to muster them In or will send an Officer here for that purpose." This statement was made today by Adjutant General W. E. -Finzer, who passed through here on train No. 7, en route to Portland from Baker City. He was at Baker City last night and stated today that the Baker City company Is to be continued. At the present time the prospects for company L seem bright. Charles J. Ferguson is being talked of as cap tain for the reorganized company and he Is being generally favored for the place. Mr. Ferguson was a member of the famous Second Oregon, which rendered good service In the Philip- nines durine the Spanish war. He is also well known locally and so is re garded as a proper man to take com mand of company L and place It up on a permanent and satisfactory foot At a meeting of Malabon camp, Spanish war veterans, held last nlgnt a resolution endorsing the mainten ance of company L was passed. The veterans also favor Mr. Ferguson for captain and will back him In his work should he be selected ror tne post. Orpheum. Today's program: 1. A Drama of the Mountain Pass. 2. Poetry of the Waters.
