COLONISTS COMING
NEW BANK FOR ECHO
Pianos of Worth.
HARRIMAN SYSTEM EEDUCES
BATES TO THE WEST.
Eeduction ot One-Third to All Points
Eastern Oregon, Washington and
Northern Idaho.
What is probably the most extraordi
nary inducement that has yet been made
to encourage immigration to Oregon,
Washington and Northern Idaho, of
settlers from the middle west, is an
nounced by the traffic department of the
O. R. A N. Co. and Southern Pacific
Oregon lines, says a Portland paper.
Effective February 15 to May 15, the
rate on movables of colonists will be re
duced one-half, from the Missouri river
to points in the Willamette valley on the
Southern Pacific Oregon lines, and one
third to all poiats in Eastern Oregon
and Washington and in Northern Idaho.
The rates will be made effective dur
ing the periods in which low one-way
passenger rates are named, under what
is termed colonist or home seekers' rates
combining to enable intending settlers
to migrate at a minimum cost.
A HOESE BOOM.
Government Will Want 1000 Horses
for Army.
Walla Walla, Jan. 12. A big boom in
the horse market is expected shortly or
as soon as the contracts for furnishing
the American army in the Philippines
with 1000 horses are awarded. Word
has been received in Walla Walla that
these contracts will be awarded at Se
attle some time the latter part of Jan
uary and local horse dealers are expect
ing a recurrence of the palmy days
when the English government was buy
ing up horses for use in the South
African war.
It was then that the despised cayuse
jumped into favor and instead of being
the scum of the horse industry it was
soon found that the little Indian pony
was best adapted for cavalry purposes
and consequently commanded as good
a price as the American bred horse.
"As soon as the contracts are awarded
we are expecting a horde ot buyers to
invade the local horse market," a well
known dealer said yesterday. "The
government wants 10(fyy horses for the
use of the army in the Philippines and
about the onlyplace to get them
is in the Oregon and Washington
horse range' Horses are worth
money these' days and contract
ors will find that they will have to pay
a fair pripS or go further east in which
event transportation will have to be
figured in.
' E AKIN FOR SUPREME JUDGE.
Move to Nominate Him Said to lie On
Foot Among Friends.
Baker City, Jan. 12. The friends of
Judge Eakin, judge of the eighth judi
cial district, are quietly planning to
secure for him the nomination for su
preme judge at the next state republican
convention, The members of the bar of
Eastern Oregon think unanimously that
at lotiBt one member of the supreme
court should come from this section of
the state. They argue that Judge Eakin
is especially fitted for a supreme justice,
by reason of the fact that he is familiar
with mining and ' irrigation litigation,
two subjects that of lute years have
often occupied the attention of the su
'"Cfime court, and in the years to come
will come up for adjudication in the
court of last resort more frequently.

ST ON
MERCHANT TELLS OF A PRE
VAILING INCONVENIENCE.
Farmers Would Be Willing to Take
Stock If a Banking Bouse
Is Started. .
An Echo merchant is authority for the
statement that a bank is badly needed
there. lie is quoted as saying:
"More money changes hands here by
check than any place 1 know of. When
a cattle buyer buys a herd of cattle he
draws a check, and when the stockman
buys hay he draws a check. As these
checks are usually for large amounts,
money must be sent from Pendleton,
making a delay of a day or two. The
stores are always short of ready money
and have from a few dollars to many
hundreds in checks awaiting a chance
to be sent to, Pendleton to cash. The
farmers of the vicinity would be willing
to take stock in such an institution if
one would come here."
Artificial Teeth.
To follow the natural contour of the
face in arranging artificial teeth on
plates so that they will give the most
natural appearance when in the mouth,
there are points, including a perfect fit
and perfect satisfaction, that is the
guarantee on all plate work. Dr. Spon

It stops the cough and heals the lungs

You are in no danger of serious results if
FOLEY'SrHONEY AND TAR is taken,
as it soothes, and heals the inflamed air pas

Be sure and get FOLEY'S HONEY AND TAR, as preparations
containing opiates stop the cough temporarily by paralyzing the nerves
in the throat and leave the germs of serious lung trouble and you get
one cold on another because the first one was not cured perfectly.
