It was the best, they say. because every one of the 27 physicians registered was from some point in eastern Oregon and every speaker on the program was a mem ber of the society, whereas, before much of the program was furnished by Portland physicians or physicians from some point outside the territory of the society. Dr. T. M. Henderson of this city was re-elected to the position of secretary-treasurer and another Umatil la county physician. Dr. Thomas of Milton, was chosen vice-president. Pr. M. K. Hall of 1a Grande was chosen president. Eight physicians went from Pendle ton including Or. W. 1). McNary and Vr. Tamlese of the eastern Oregon branch hospital. The others were Dr Henderson. Dr. I. U. Temple, Dr. K E. Kingo, Dr. E. O. Parker ,Dr. D. N. Holier and Dr. M. V. Turley. PAVING IS HALTED E r ALT A '.VXD THOMPSON '.NTS ARE STKKET 1MPKOVEM 11EIJ UP.

Five physicians who observed Mrs. Eaton throughout the trial were un able to detect a symptom of insanity in her speech or manner. Mr?. Eaton was arrested a few days after the admiral's death charged with the murder. An autopsy showed he died of arsenical poisoning. Mrs. Katon protested her innocence from the start but was held in Jail without bonds. The police charged that Jeal ousy was the motive of the alleged crime. a "Ol XCIL SAYS COMPANIES FAIL ED TO KEEP PLEDGE TO IMPKOVE TltACKS. Though not actually declaring war upon railroads, the mayor and city councllmen Inijt evening struck a bel licose attitude toward the Northern Pacific and O.-W. R. & X. ralroad companies, with the former drawing the biggest share of attention. The reason for the feeling of city offici als lies in the action of the compan ies, or rather the lack of action, rel ative to improving between their tracks on the paved streets of the city. The N. P. Company came in for a denunciation fur an alleged failure to keep faith with the city. The prom ise of the company officials to send an engineer here to consult with the council and another promise to Im prove two blocks of its track have ap parently been Ignored, according to the views of the aldermen and they were not hesitant in declaring that their future treatment of that com pany would be governed by the ac tion of the company In this matter. Apparently, the company takes the attitude that the city cannot force It to pivo between its tracks. Under the franchise grunted to the company. It is doubtful whether or not the city can Therefore, the council instruct ed the city attorney to investigate t j ascertain whether or not the fran-j chise could be repealed.

The O.-W. . R. & X. company came i In fur some criticism, too. for not ful- filling its promise to lay vltrifleJ ' brick between its trncks where they i intersect Main street. SEA'S ROAR COSTS I200.

A .citizen of Umatilla county has the distinction of being the originator of the idea of permitting the hlaoric old battleship Oregon to lead the first fleet through the Panama canal anj, in recognition of both his Ideu and the work he did toward having It adopted. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan iels has invited him to be a guest of honor aboard the Oregon on Its pass age as a special representative of the school children of the Beaver state. W. T. Reeves,' prominent and pio neer resident of Stanfleld, is the man who conceived the Idea of honoring the old warship which made the cele brated cruise around the Horn during the Spanish-American war. Over two years ago he first took the matter up with several prominent men of the state and secured their endorsement and co-operation. He prepared the petitions to the government, to which the names of 5.000 school children of the state were attached, asking that the Oregon be the first battleship through the big ditch. Mr. Reeves hns not boasted of his work In this matter and his identifi cation with the move has not been generally known. However, the gov ernment officials have found him out and during the past week, he has re ceived two letters fron the secretary of the navy advising him that h would be received aboard the old bat tleship as an honored guest either of himself or the commander. Mr. Reeves ls a native of Umatl'U county.
