It Is not the best glee club that has been heard in Pendleton but certainly it has some feature that recommend it. The club numbers were very good though it was plainly apparent that the tenor section did not balance the baas. A distinct departure from the usual run of glee club programs was the appearance of a lady among the young men. However, after her first number It was easy to understand why Mas Evelyn Cox had been brought aloaqf. She has a voice ot unusual quality and rings with the ease of a bird. Her solo numbers wtre perhapa the most popular ot the Program and the singing of "Miser re" from "II Trovatore" by her and Jean Gerkugh. tenor, supported by the club, was one of the most am bitious th'ngs any glee club has ever attempted. Mr. Oerlough was also heard to advantage in two solo num bers. The club also carries a violinist ot extraordinary talent in Raymond Pit tenger and his selections were warm ly received. Clarence F. Johnson. baritone, sang two pleasing solos and I Harry Hawley added variety to the program by some very clever read- i ins. The quartet selections were I among the best of the evening.

April 10 The federal trade commission sent to the senate today a preliminary outline of Its findings In the probe Into the in creasing price of gasoline. It con tradicted the report that the avail able supply of petrol was decreasing It was reported that there were more than a hundred million gallons of crude petroleum In February as against seventy million In the pre vious February. The department of Justice will conduct the remainder of the probe It will Inquire Into the capitalisation, dividends, prices of the Standard Oil Company's stocks. whether higher prices were necessary to maintain a normal standard of profit and whether the state divisions of the Standard Oil have illegal rela tions, or are discriminating or stifling competition. The production of gasoline in Jan uary. 1915. was seventy six million gallons and last December was ninety seven million gallons. Gasoline rose nearly five cents a gallon last year for the middle western refineries and five and a half for the eastern re fineries. Crude oil rose nearly twa cents In those districts. In western districts kerosene Increased one and a quarter cents a gallon and lest than a cent in the east, while fuel oil rosethree quarters of a cent In I the west and one cent In the east. A simple prescription made up of j a combination of pure vegetable oil j la producing wonderful results for j sufferers from stomach, liver and in ' lestinai troubles. The remedy, which I la aaid to have originated In France, i where it has been used for years by J the peasantry, was Introduced Into this country by George H. Jlayr, a leading Chicago druggist, who cared himself of severs stomach, liver and I Intestinal trouble by Its use. Those who have used It say th first dose i Is sufficient to convince any one of Its remarkable merit, and that within ; twenty-four hours tne sufferer feels like a new person.

At a meet ng of the Inland Grain Growers' Anxoclatlon held here Sat urday, the following resolution Wat panned by the directors, and the presi dent Instructed to give copies of the resolution to the press with request that the feame be published: Resolved, That we, the directors of the Inland Grain Growers' Association of Umatilla county, respectfully and urgently protest against the proposed 180.000 road bond issue, and urgent ly recommend the mlilage tax for the creation of a spec al road fund for the permanent Improvement of the highways. This association endorses the plan o: the more permanent Improvement oi the road, and believe the plan of constructing the Improved roads lead ing from the wheat belt to the market centers, Is the better plan; that the funds derived from the proposed bend issue, if used In conformity to the plan outlined, would In the great er part be used In the hard surfacing of a few miles of roads paralleling the railroads, and would be used prin cipally for pleasure purposes.
