Therefore, be It resolved and we most earnestly request President Taft and Secretary Balllnger to see that Oregon gets justice and take up the task of the redivislon of this fund and be dt further resolved, that cop ies of this resolution be sent to Pres ident Taft, Secretary Balllnger and each member of. the Oregon congres sional delegation.

Pendleton, Ore., Jan. 6. To the Editor: My attention Is called to a local news Item appearing in your Issue of yesterday touching the contest for district attorney to fill the vacancy resulting In the recent promotion of that official to the circuit Judgeship, and n justice to Messrs. Wilson and Ferguson I desire to say that the ar ticle Is entirely misleading. Neither of those gentlemen have been aligned either with the Lowell faction or the Furnish faction, and it is not Just to place them as republicans In the light of any ancient feud. Whoever at tempts It either does not know the Bit uatton or is endeavoring to cover the real reasons which are actuating the appointments made and to be made, as they ait known to men accustomed to the political game. If the old fac tional division In this county was to receive consideration by the appoint ing power, and avoided as. your ar ticle would Indicate, It would seem in congruous that the same argument should not have applied In the Judge ship. Mr. Phelps has always been re garded as a political friend and sup porter of Mr. Furnish, while Mr. Win ter Is my partner in business and my personal friend, yet Mr. Phelp re ceives the honor, and two young men who know nothing and care less for EKLUN'P CHAMPION CHECKER PLAYER Albert Kklund, proprietor of the shoeshop on Main street, has the dis tinction of being the champion check er player in the city and any one who Is inclined to dispute his title will find nlm prepared to defend It. At the first of a series of checker tourna ments held last night In the offices of Attorney G. W. Coutts In which eight of the best pfayers In the city partici pated, Mr. Ekltind carried off first honors with G. W. Coutts a close sec ond. J. p. Welman, Isaac Jay and Robert Morrison of Adams, tied for third place. Fourteen games were played, each contestant playing every other one. two games. Mr. Eklund won 11 out of the 14, Mr. Coutts came out first In 10 while the tie for third honors was made on the score of 6. William Gulllford won the con solation prize, being unfortunate enough to lose every game. The oth er contestants were Robert Lalng and E. T. Wade. Mr. Coutts was host of the occasion and provided cigars, punch and a luncheon. Other tourna ments will be held In the near future. ENGINEER DIES IN CAB. Drops Lifeless as Train Speeds I'lrenmii Saves the Passengers. Philadelphia. With the train run nlsg at a speed of nearly fifty miles an hour, M. C. Back, engineer of the Pittsburg express, which left here at 8:40 a. m. today, was found dead in hlg cab by the fireman, while the ex press was nearlng Blrd-ln-Hand, Pa., sixty miles west of this city. The fire man brought the train to a stop. Death was due to heart disease. Roe Pay Hotter Than Hens. Officials of the state department today stated that while they had no desire to throw cold water upon the big poultry exhibition which opens In New York this week, it Is shown from statistics just prepared that bees are more valuable as wealth producers than hens, even when eggs sell at 60 cenuts a dozen. An Idea of the magnitude of the honey Indus try may be gained from the state ment that the crop In the United States each year amounts to 110,000, 000. There are said to be 10,000 bee keepers lit the state of New York, which stands second among the states In the production of honey. the political differences between Mr. Furnish and myself, are made to bear the burden of factionalism. As a mat ter of fact. Mr. Wilson was not In the state during the Lowell-Furnish po litical battles, and Mr. Ferguson, if here, was taking no Interest In po litical affairs. He was a soldier In the Philippines during the inception of the fight, and be It known that his support at this time has come largely from the brave young men over the state who bore the musket and faced the shotted cannon In the Spanish war, and of their own organization. Mr. Bowerman Is himself a member.' It Is entirely Immaterial to me who Is appointed district attorney, but as suredly Mr. Furnish and I can fight our own battles without dragging Into the arena young men who are entit led to start their political career with out the shadows of Oregon's stormy past, and 1 protest against such Insin uations as color your article. s Respectfully, STEPHEN A. LOWELL. There Is this trouble about special providences namely, there Is so of ten a doubt as to which party was In tended to be the beneficiary. In the case of trie children, the bears, and the prophet the bears got more real satisfaction out of the episode than the prophet did, because they got the children.
