DIVIDED JH p
Democratic Leaders, Stillman
& Pierce, Dissolved
NO LONGER PARTNERS IN Li
Men Who for Tears Were Prominent
ly Associated in Politics and Law
Have Heated Words.
Tbe politioal and law firm of Still
niao & Pieore, by mutual consent
aud heated words, according to tbe
Peudleton Tribune, was dissolved Sat
urday. This Information will be of
more than ordinary iuterest to tbe
people of Umatilla county, where both
meu bave been promiuent in . politics
aud law. For years a sort of Damon
aud Pytbias combination existed be
tween A. D. Stillman aud Walter M.
Pierce. Politically, both men trained
"in tbe democratio cnmp, dominated
county politics, and both men gener
ally got what they wauted in tbe way
of oftioe, and particularly so did
Pierce.
In the praotioo of law it is reported
that the firm was eminently success
ful, but apparently the bond ct friend
ship has been shattered, dissolution
naturally followed, and tbe two men
stand divided. Tbe Pendleton Tri
bune says:
Tbe law firm of Stillman & Pierce
existeth no longer. In street language,
"it is off in a thousand places" An
other split in tbe democratio party.
"Get out of tbis office and get out
quick." "Get yonr things put of
tbis office aud get them ont quick."
"Yon had better get ont" These
and many other similar expressions,
just as expressive and all given in a
tone of voioe which could hardly be
designated as conciliatory, might have
' been heard yesterday afternoon issu
ing from the rooms which have been
used as law offices for many years by
A. D. Stillman and Walter Perce.
A few minutes after open hostilities
commenced, tbe part of tbe furniture
and books belonging to tbe ex-state
senator were being rapidly moved to
vacant rooms in another part of the
building. Tbe removal was no less
spirited than the war of words and in
almost loss time than it takes to tell it
tbe complete segregation aud transfer
had been effected.
For a time the offloe rooms retained
by Mr. Stillman looked rather bare in
spots and were especially short ou
chairs, but by tbe aid of the f urnitnre
man they quickly regained, a part at
least, of their old time appearance.
Tbe exact canse of yesterday's
cyclouio earthquake like disturbauoe
is not .known nor was there any par
tioulur effort made to asoertain it.
It seems, however, that the firm of
Stillman & Pierce was dissolved July
21, 1005, and tbat since that time tbe
two men bave retained their offioes as
before and had tbe same steuograpber
aud tbat there was some difference of
opiniou i'J regard to the payment of
the office rent aud tbe stenographer's
salary, which resulted in Mr. Pierce's
beiug invited to move ont, which he
did;oriu Mr. Pierce's dedarnig he
would seek other quarters, which he
did.
Auybow tbe partnership is not only
dissolved but tbe two democratio war
horses who have pulled so long in tbe
harness together are ooonpyiug differ
ent suits of rooms in the same build
ing and about as far apart as it is
possible for them to be.
OVER WESTON WAY
From the Leader.
A. F. aod T. W. Turner have re
turned from their trip into northern
Idaho. Tbey were much impressed
withtbe present prosperity and future
prospects of Graugeville and may de
cide to locate at tbat -point, having
disposed of their farm property near
Helix.
! Mr. and Mrs. William Albert, who
reside on Weston mountain, were call
ed to Echo Tuesday by a sad message
aunonucing serious and perhaps fatal
iD juries to their grandchild, the little
son or w. W. P enry. The boy was
accidentally scalded, and it is feared
that be cannot reoover.
George Carinicbael's team ran away
last evening from tbe bitching rack
ou Main street near tbe Weston Store,
drugging bim for some distance.
After tonring pell mell through the
npper end of town, tbe team circled
back to Main street and collided with
a telephone pole. No great damage
resulted.
Tbat farmers hereabouts are dis
posed to heaatify and improve their
nlaces is indicated by the dozens of
orders for frnit trees and shrubbery
now being distributed at N. Love-
ridse's barn. Tbat so many orders
were filled here by tbe Milton nursery
is an encouraging sign, as it indicates
thetendancy of Weston farmers to
spare a little time from wheat raising
in order to get an orchard started.
And it has been demonstrated that
fiait is a success here, if proproly
cared for.
James Compton baa a promising
crop of potatoes on Reed aud Hawley
mountain, consisting of about thirty
acres, and exnecta to harvest in tbe
neighborhood of about 1800 sacks.
Consequently he is keeping an eye on
the market, and wonld like to dispose
of his entire crop to one buyer for
sbipmeut Some of the "spuds" al
ready dug went, neatly 100 sacks to
the acre, bnt Mr.' Compton does not
expeot tbis average to be maintained.
MILTON NEWS NOTES.
From tbe Eagle.
Prof. J. E. Cherry has moved bis
family up from Pendleton and is oo
onpyiug tbe B. L. Wright resideuoe
on upper Main street. Mr. and Mrs.
Cherry have many friends in tbis city
wbo are glad to welcome them back J
to Milton.
Work on tbe eleotrio line from
Walla Walla is somewhat delayed
owing to the non-airival of material.
However, grading work is being push
ed and the oompany expects to have
the load compeletd to this place by
tbe end of the month.
Mr. A. M. "Elam was showing a
peanut vine this week wbiob was
grown on his plaoe and on which
were'clnsejred'a lrage number of fully
developed peanuts. Tbe peanuts
were a Mexioau variety which Mr.
Elam brought from Texas and he
states are the ouly ones he has ever
planted that would thoroughly mature
in this climate.
Eleotrioiau .Taylor has placed
twenty-three more lights on tbe streets
of Milton, which brings the total up
to 58 25 candle power lamps amount
ing to 1158 candle power. This would
cost if bought from any private com
pany, $87 a month for tbe eleotria
current and globes, or $1,014 a year.
The tax payers of Milton can see from
this what benefit they are getting by
the city owning its own eeotrio plant
as they would be taxed to this am ount
if the lights were bonght from a
private company.

That's what buying poor paint
means. Paint, may be low
priced by the gallon and be
extravagant to use owing to
to it's poor covering power
