U-uutn-tuo, a Umatilla brave, came to town the other day from the. rnKorv atio'nltud, as usual, rgot . his accus tomed load of firewater. U-num-tuo, like many oiher mem bers of his tribe, has acquired an ab normal taste and craving tor,liquor, But it is evident that this particular redskin has other tastes in addition to that for whiskey namely, literature. On this oocasion of U-num-tnc's regn lar periodical, he was beiug escorted along the street to where his horse was tied, by his friend, Officer Gholsou, when a book : fell from the Indian's coat pocket to the sidewalk. When picked up it was found to be a soiled copy of Owen Meredith's "Lucille" well thumbed aud.pages ragged from usage! . '. . . The' Press has Jong recognized the fact that competition from a journal istic standpoint was be.oomiug exceed ingly close here and at Weston, too, where the Leader feels it. This great family journal has long, withstood the shocks and jolts from knockers aud solicitors sout into its legitimate 11 old by metropolitan dailies; backed : up with silent acquioeceuce the special write-up man; swallowed gobs of taffy aud beeu a "good fellow" generally when the circulation booster for an esteemed contemporary, (not a com petitor) with his coupon free-trip-to-Jericho graft was working the town ; other grafts too numerous to enumer ate, , but the straw that breaks our backbone of generosity is the free dis ' tribution on the reservation of Owen's masterpiece. We have always rested secure in the belief that when the Pen dleton Tribune, the Echo News and the lone Proclaimer had graftpd this fertile newspaper field from us, ; the Leader and Press could live on the elomuments derived from Siwash patronage. But even this hope now goes glimmering. , Realty Transfers. Amy E. Lee to Horatio M. Sloan, lot 11, in block' 7, reservation addi tion to Pendleton; consideraton, $1, 275." :-;'-. , Robt.

Will Conduct a Market- The Methodist Episcopal Sunday School will open a market on Main street, Saturday, December, 2. Premeir Balfour Resigns. London, Nov. 23. Tremendous act ivity developed in political circles today consequent on the circulation of a well founded report that Promier Balfour has decided to bring his min istry to a close and directly or indi rectly appeal to the country. Humors regarding the resignation of the cabinet and the dissolution of parliament have been thick for three mouths, -.but when the two leading government organs today, almost iu the came terms "suggested" tbo ira-Tui-diate rehixnation of the premier on account of au uumcndable breach of the' Supreme Bench. POOR CATTLE MARKET.' Orvgmi Stockmen MuntVevlas Meima tO . Meet SerJ!'.u Problem, Oregon is confronted with a sorious problem in the way of providing a market for her varied products, is the opinion of Dr. James Withyconibe, of tho experimental station of the Or egon Agricultural college. Dr. With yoombe has made a close study of the status of the Oregon producer and the commercial interests of the state, and say a it is impossible for Oregon to forge ahead to the position she should enjoy unless her agricultural resources are devlop'ed and a market provide'd. Ho points out that there is no profit in the stock line below $4 a hundred. "The Chioago packer can well afford to pay $6 a hundred ou foot, yet the Oregon stock raiser cannot see a profit in shipping to Chicago at $2.75 in competition with others. What is need is the establishment of meat packing plants in the state so we can send our product out in the dressed form," he said. i-i. ; "y London Married Again. Jack Loudon, the novelist, aud Miss Charmion Kittridge of Newton, Iowa, have been married in Chicago. Lon don is divorced from his first wife and the law of Illinois relating to divorced persons remarrying provides that one year must; relapse after the dooreo of divorce is grauted. The California law also forbids remarryiug uutil one year has elapsed. Loudon seonred an initial decree in California ou Nov ember 17, 1904 and the final decree on November 18, 1905. On the theory that his time of one year commenced with the initial decroe London mar ried his new wfe. In accordance with the law he should have waited until November 18, 1906. Machine Is Downed. Senator Piatt of New York, makes the statement that republican party organization , throughout New York state has been transformed into a weak discordant, dissatisfied body lacking confidence in itself and distrustful of its leadership. Plutt said Odell's re tirement is necessary as a consequence of his loss of the "Now York county machine. " Plutt further said the choice of the committee must lie be tween Congressman Olcott and some other man who is as much opposed to Odell and to the county organization subservient to Odell as Olcott. iu the unionist party over the fiscal question, ihe "suggestion" wag looked upon as having leen instigatod by Balfour himself. This is strength ened by the knowledge that previous to the publication of the editorials, Balfour met certain influential per. ,son& .' All present interest now centers in the cabinet meeting tomorrow, at which it is understood the situation will be discussed. Some well in- i formed persons go so far as to say that Balfour will go from the meeting to j the king with the resignations of him self aud tbo cabinet. PRESIDENT APPOINTS MEMBER OF SUPRIME BENCH.
