bank clearings recently touch

residents of Nicaragua are
growing restive over a deal
made by them with this coun
try but not yet fully closed
whereby Nicaragua gives to
the United States certain land
and exclusive canal privileges
for the sum of $3,000,000. The
money has not yet been paid to
the Central American govern
ment and Nicaragua would
like to raise the price. The
sale of the St. Thomas islands,
however, carried soverignty
with the deal whereas Nicara'
gua has merely bargained to
give this country an exclusive
right to interoceanic canal con
struction. Therefore it may be
surmised that Uncle Sam will
not tolerate any advance in
price, even though Nicaragua

ORECOMAN. PENDLETON. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1917.
The Oregonian has a story I
about the very powerful
Hughes-Alliance at Medford;
it must be a strong one' indeed
since Jackson county gave
some 2000 majority for 'Wil
son. We never have a legislative
session without getting a new
insurance code.
Record breaking land deals
are now the rule rather than
the exception.
The submarine ' campaign
may be ineffective but it is
sendine some big boats to the
bottom.
DO YOU KNOW
That tomorrow will be the anni
versary of the blowing up of the bat'
tleship Maine?
That W. Kirkpatrlck is one of the
few Pendletonians who heard Lin
coin's historic debate with Douglas
That Tom Thompson used to be
specialist In fine horses?
That the Pendleton Auto Show is
going to be another exemplification
of the Pendleton spirit?
That Harry Chambers a few years
ago was one of Washington State Col
lege'a star orators and debaters?
That James Johns. Sr., eats fried
onions and fried apples every morn
Ing for breakfast as a health preaerv
