ATHENA, JUNE 8 -1906
There is an element of satisfaction
for tbe democrats in the result of the
senatorial race between Bonrne aud
ueann, in that a state wmoii geuer
ally goes from 25,000 to 85,000 re
pnbheau could barely muster a ma
jority of 2500 for the republican can
didate. A few more republican s tum
bles the like of which they have been
making of late, and old Oregon will
be in the demooratio column. Though
it is a bitter pill, the legislature will
have to swallow Bourno. There is
little hope for his dofeat there, for
the reason that the dominant party
dure not go beyond the maudates of
the people's choioe as expressed at t be
primary and general elections. To
this must be added the votes of tbe
democratic members (oh, geel) who
took statement No.

Editor Brown, of the Milton Eagle,
was in Pendleton yesterday. Whether
his visit to the connty seat was to
"square it" with the roan who de
feated the Jayues bill, oj to collect a
bill, we are not in a position to say.
Brown is all right, any way. He
landed Pierce and his fight against
the Jaynes bill and thereby boosted
the circulation of tbe Eagle among
the prohibitionists, and then darted
the harpoon into Pieroe and these self
same prohi's during the present cam
paign. It's dollars to doughnuts that
many a long day will pass before the
Eagle is again commended from -pulpit
aud rostrum ty prohibition speak ers,
for Pieroo was their ideal aud the
Eagle did about as much to encom
pass his dofeat as uny ngeuoy we can
call to mind.

Once more has the Cauudian

waster plumbers in Toronto, clinryed

were HUininouud before the court uud

posed. Sixty-eight master plumbers
were allowed to go on suspended seu
tuuee, having made full restitutio!)
and pledged themselves that there
would be no further transgression of
the law. The iuoideut stands out
boldly in contrast to tbe manuor in
which Amerioan courts handle sirni
liar proceedings. There was no sing

to make a test case. The entire nuin

While we permit the icvasion of
onr national forest reserve by choppers
who want the timber for copper smelt
ers and while we are but half awake
to the iniquity of the land frauds that
have taken immense tracts of wood
land from federal to private control,
Canada is pntting a limit to the defor
estation of the Eockies and is encour
aging tbe planting of trees all over the
dominion. Canada has been quick to
see the commercial value of her tim
ber and is bestirring herself not only
to preserve snob as she has bnt in
crease its area. Irrigation has been
introduced in Alberta, and on the
plains, which are naturally treeless,
planting baa been undertaken with
a measure of success.
Tom Kirk a good man, a republi
can running for state senator in a
connty overwhelmingly republican,
was defeated principally beoause he
would not take Statement No. 1. Mr.
Kirk, in bis above-board and honest
way, gave as bis reason why he would
not accept the statement, that if elect
ed he wou'd not support a democrat
for United States senator. There was
no "covering up" and Mr. Kirk went
to defeat, taking with bim bis prin
ciple untarnished. The connty has an
able representative in the victor, Dr,
Smith, of Pendleton.
Governor Higgens of New York
has taken a commendable attitude in
regard to a bill, the reoognized pur
pose of which to give Lawyer Pa trick,
convioted of m order, opportunity for
still further prolonging his fight
against the execution of tbe sentence
pronounced against bim. As to Pat
rick's guilt there is practically no
doubt, and Governor Eiggins properly
said that the efforts that are being
made to defeat justioe are "little less
than scandalous."
What was to be expected' was the
defeat of Walter Pieroe. Pieroe had
become each a permanent fixture with
the demooratio party of Umatilla
county, that apparently the voters
came to a realization that in tbe ordi
nary run of time and events, being
mortal, he was subjeot to demise, and
it were better to shelve him and give
some one else a chance to warm up and
get in the oollar. A leader is hard to
break in anyway aud it takos time. ,
A number of members of congress

We have yet to hear the Milton Eagle's
explanation.
Chas. A. Barrett of this city may
well feel flattered with'the great vote
he polled for representative. This
is an instance of the right man in the
right place. Candidly speaking, Mr.
Barrett would have'been out of place

It'i all over, but on reflection, no one
who is cognizant of the true status
of the county's affairs, can help but
wonder, when the eternal fitness and
capabilities of the men are considered,
how Stillmen and Gartman could be
possibly defeated by Bean and Gilli
land. Politics is a queer aud( caprio
ious oonundrnm.
"Wonderland" for 1906, issued by
the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany is at hand. As usual, "Won
derland" is artistically printed and
deals with matters of interest pertain
ing to the western country traversed
by the Northern Pacific The artioles
are from the pen of Olin D. Wheeler.
. When you hear a man say that noth
ing can be done to regulate Standard
Oil it is evideut that be doesn't give
credit to the American people for as
muob manhood and spirit as the down
trodden and medieval people of Russia
displayed in their revolt against the
grand dukes. -

of this caliber pursuing investigations
there will be results.
It is announced that the United

Young Mr. Rockefeller says that
borrowing kills friendship. Probably
if the truth were known, Mr. Rocke
feller's prejudice runs to lending
rather than borrowing.
The boys may be foroed to write
trauf," "ruf,"and "tnng,"at school,
but they will not use that kind of
spelling when they are old enough to
write love letters.
There is a movement in California
against bargain sales. It is hardly
necessary to say that the state has no
woman suffrage.
Loudon Punch is to have a younger

That the roots of many native planU,
growing wild In our Amerk-nn forostt
possess reniarka tile properties for the cure
in niuaaii maiaaM'S is well proven. Even
tlio untutored Indian Imd li'iirned the
curative value oi some of these and
taught the early settlers their iih-s. The
Inuian never liked work so ho wanted his
squaw to get well as soon as Missible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, ho dug "papoose root" for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe
male weaknesses. Dr. Pierce uses the
same root ("ailed Mug Cohosh in his
Favorite Prescription," skillfully com
bined with other agents that make It
more effective than any other medicine in
curing all the various weaknesses and
painful derangements peculiar to women.
Many afflicted women have boon saved

In all such cases, and generally effect a
permanent cure if persisted in for a rea

make up. whereas
all other medicines.
put np for sale through druggists for
woman's peculiar ailments, contain large
quantities of spirituous liquors, which
are very harmful, especially to delicate
women. "Favorite Prescription" con
tains neither alcohol nor harmful habit

printed on each bottle wrapper. It is a
owerful invigorating tonic, imparting
lealtli and strength in particular to the
organs distinctly feminine. For weak

or debilitated, especially for women who
ork in store, ollice, or school-room, who
sit at tho typewriter or sewing machine,
