Chamberlain and David Tay lor, democratic Conuty Central com mittee of North and South Athena precincts respectively, atteuded a meeting of the central committee Sat urday in Pendleton, pursuaut to a call of Chairman A. D. Stillman. The meeting was one of great har mony. Speeches were made by most of those present and all said that they thought they were fulfilling the will of the people in abdicating the throue at this time and thus meeting the dic tates of the direct primary law.

The call as issued to all demoorats of the county and prepared for the press is as follows: "To all Democrats In Umatilla County: This county central com. mittee has managed the campaign of 1904; has maintained the party or ganization and integrity; has complet ed the work assigned to it and is now ready to report back to the entire dem ocratic party in the county. "A deoent regard for the rights of all democrats in this county who- are not members of this committee com pels us to return our powers to them at an early date so as to enable them to prepare for the next general elec tion to formulate and publish a declar ation of principles, provide for the needs of the various parts of the coun ty, and generally exercise the right of initiative that properly belongs to the whole people. To continue our own control of the party in this county beyond this time would be a treason able unsurpation, without shadow of and Tea Athena, Oregon. right or warrant of law, of rights and belong to the whole body of demoorats in this county. r "We believe that the primary elec tion law now in effect is a. wise mea sure and should be given a full and fair trial, and in order that it may be given such a (rial the powers now held and exercised by the ceutral com mittee should be returned to the peo ple before the primary election and not be retained by tho ceutral committees uutil after they have controlled the primaries and indirectly, thongh none the less surely, made the nominations. For these and other reasons we find it necessary to call together an assembly of democrats snob as that which gave us power. We believe that such nu assembly should be as largo as possible and iuolude representatives from every part of the oounty. "We therefore call a convention of the demoorats of Umatilla county, to assemble in Peudleton at the hoar of 10 o'clock in the forenoon of Satur day, February 17, 1906, and there and then reoeive the report of this com mittee, consider matters of -publio business and needs of the various sec tions of the county, the welfare of the demooratio party, and transaot any and all other business that it may deem expedient. , :'That every elector in Umatilla county who has registered as a demo crat shall be a member of the conven tion as a representative of the preoiuct where he resides; that the credentials shall be a certificate from the county clerk, or any other showing satisfac tory to the convention, that the repre sentative has registered as a demo cratio eleotor. " "That the vote shall be by pre cincts, and that representatives ac tually present from each precinct shall cast the vote of the same vote for the precinct that was cast for supreme jndge at the last general election. That the several precincts shall have votes in said convention as follows: Adams 43, Alba 26, Athena, North 108, Athena, South, 37, Bingham Springs 8, Cottonwood 18, Echo 71, Encampment 26, Ferndale , Fair view, Fulton 24, Gilliland 11, Helix 26, Hogue 11, Holman 18, Juuiper 19, Milton, North 76, Milton, South 65, Mountain 25, McKay 38, Pendleton 72 Pendleton, North 107, Peudleton, South 56, Pendleton, East 86, Pilot Rock 44, Prospect 10, Reservation, North 45, Reservation, South , Riv erside, Rnddock 2, Ukiah 35, Uma tilla 10.

Friends of the family iu this city were notified of the death Sunday morning, and I. M. Kemp, brother of Mrs. Barnett, took the evening train for Portland, that he might be with the family in their sad bereave ment. At bis death Koy was aged 16 years, one month and 20 days. He was born in this city December H, 1889, aud until the family went to Portland a little over a year ago, enjoyed good health. Since going to Portland, Roy was at times seriously ill with rheu matism, which affected bis heart. At one time last winter, be was in a crit ical condition and his life hung in the balance. He recovered, although he was not strong as formerly. A couple of weeks ago he was com pelled to give up school, and gradually became worse, until the end.

With a force of 3000 men and 2000 horses working on the grade of the north bauk road,- between Celilo and Kenewick, the northern Pacific is pushing operations as fast aa sub con tractors can handle their part of the undertaking. The steamer J. M. Hanuaford will be placed in service on the upper river as soon as the river rises so there is depth for her, and then supplies will be delivered along the full length of the line aud more men, scrapers and animals will be trans ported so the grading may be com pleted at the earliest possible date. Operations between Celilo and Van couver are active. An idea of the large force there is bad from the fact that the storekeepers at Vancouver have sent have $28,000, worth of sup plies. With the men to be employed on the two bridges betweeu Vancouver and Portland, in addition to help needed on the right of way during the spring, there will be upwards of 10, 000 laborers on the payrolls A MAMMOTH STOCK. ItMii afnrmnn Makes Choice Keleciions In Etern Whnleanlo llouncs. . D. B. Jarman, proprietor of Jar man's big Deportment Store, arrived home Saturday from tho wholesale di.jtriots of the big Eastern cities, where he put in two weeks purcbas- iug a mammoth stook of uew, high grade goods. By going to the big eastern whole sale houses, Mr. Jarman found that he was afforded better facilities for selecting a higher class of goods in all lines than he could possibly expect to select from traveling salesmen. The result is that Mr. Jarman has pur chased one of the largest stocks of strictly high class merchandise ever shipped into Umatilla conuty. In Chicago, the mecoa of the lead ing weaves of first class dress goods aud ladies' fancy goods, Mr. Jarman purohased large stocks of the best that is new in these lines. Here he pur ohased his clothing in large quantities for men, youths and boys. In shoes for mou. women and child ren, he selected the latest styles of the famous Hamilton & Brown stock, and on his way home he dropped off for a day at Racine and purchased of old '.'Joe" Miller a large invoice of men's medium weight and heavy work shoes. He was enabled to get the top notoh iu quality in everything, and particularly ladies' dress goods, mus lin underwear, etc. Ho says his goods for the spring and summer trade are of higher class grade than heretofore oarriedby him, and that he will be in a better position than ever to please his many customers. Milton Voters are Modest. Milton voters to the number of 103 out of 200 will not be able to vote at the coming primary election on ac count of their modesty in naming their party affiliations as required under provisions of the direct primary law, says the Tribune. Registration books coming into the office of the county recorder from Milton show that out of 200 voters 103 have refused to state their party declarations required, and now according to the statute, they will not be allowed to take any part in the nomination of any of the can didates who are before tho people for nomination. They will be able to assist iu the ratification or the re jection of the nominees once '. tbey are on the final ticket in June, however, but they will vote for or against the other fellow's choice.

The Acme Lyceum Bureau of Chicago has just completed arraugo ments with Mr. Spencer for the ap pearance of Damons Now Orleans Colored Students, the brightest and best colored organization iu the world. There are scores of concert com panies, jubilee singers and such like on the road today, but they all fade into oblivion along side of this attrac tion. Damon's New Orleans Colored Students is not an organization of one day but the crowning climax of 5 years of careful training, tho fruit of which is a company of artists who will elicit the applause of the most critical audiences. It is couoeded that tbey excel all others in their special form of entertainment, blended with refined fun by creative funmakers. Tbey will appear at the Athena opera houso on the night of Feb. 7, and a rich and meritorous program will be rendered in such an artistic manner that will leave a pleasing and lasting impression on all who witness it.

This change will be made as fast as tbo petitions are signed and approved by tho agent. All those who now hold "informal", leases will have either to qualify before the agent or move or be prosecuted as trespassers. The application blanks read as fol lows: 1. Description of land. ' 2. Name of allottees or heirs. 3. Who cultivated or occupied the land last year? 4. How many acres of legal leases have you? 5. What do you pay per acre for each tract? 6.
