At the hearing oalled by the state railroad commission to meet iu Pen dleton Tuesday for the purpose of in vestigating conditions here as to the train servioe to Portland all the mem bers of that body were present, consist ing of Messrs, Campbell, Atohison and West, acoompanied by Clerk boodall. The meeting was held in the commer cial association rooms and was called to order shortly after 10 o'clock. There were iu all perhaps twenty witnesses examined the questioning, says the Tribune, being made on the gpart of the citizens of Umatilla and Morrow counties by Distriot Attorney Phelps and Judge S. A. Lowell, while the O. R. & N. was represented ty Attorney A. W. Speuoer. The rail way company was represented other wise by General Manager J. P. O'Brien, Passenger Agent J. H. O'Neill, Gen eral Passenger Agent William Mo Murray and a representative or two from Walla Walla. The testimony offered by various witnesses, all of whom were tinder oath, was to the same effect and but two things were claimed loudly call for a reformation to-wit, the average lateness of all trains going west through Pendleton and their acknowl edged unsanitary condition. These two conditions were very frankly admitted by the railway offloials, since they are known of all men. The commission had prepared an ab stract from the records in the offices of the O. R. & N. oompany showing that during the seven months between the 1st of November, 190? to June 1st, 1907, the average arrival of train No. 1, going west, at Umatilla, was four hours late. This, of course, being from the records, was admitted. The unsanitary condition of the west bound cars was testified to by every witness, many of them not hesitating to say that tbey were frequently actually filthy. It was also shown that Umatilla eaou year pours iuto the oolfers of the O. R. & N. company the enormous re turns from the freight on 5,000,000 bushels of wheat, one per ceut of all the wheat raised in the United States aud yet when asking for a decent train service it is met with the objection that it hasn't enough people to justify it t That it is too sparsely settled 1 The hearing was wholly informal, there were no "objections" by "oppos ing counsel," frequently the witnesses became the questioners, the railroad offloials seemed anxious to get at all the complaints, freely answering all questions put to them, and its proceed ings were very satisfactory all around. It was after 10 o'clock in the evening when the hearing was finally adjourn ed with the understanding that another session was to be held in Portland iu a few days to give the railroad officials a chance to introduce testimony in answer to that offered Tuesday and at the night session. The general feeling is that the char ges preferred by the commission have been fully substantiated and that the local train desired will be ordered. Cornfield Leases Bingham.

ENFORCE ORDINANCE NO 109 Regulates Sewerage and Drainage on Main Street-Recorder to Make Monthly Report. At the regular meetiug of the city council Monday evening, two matters of more than ordinary interest came before the body for disoussion ; side walks and sewerage. The sentiment prevailed among the members of the oounoil that Main street is too muob of a creditable thor oughfare to longer be graced on either side by board sidewalks and that to be in proper keeping with the splen did maoadariizod center of the street, all sidewalks on Main street between 2nd and 4th hereafter replaced should be constructed; Yt, oonorete cement, and the Ordinance committee was in structed to draft an ordinanoe to that etteot. The marshal was instructed to en force Ordinance No. 109 without fur ther delay. This ordinanoe legulates the sewerage plans of the city: and makes it incumbent on certain proper ty owners to oonstruot a system of cesspools, for the purpose of collecting seepage and drainage. By order of the, council, the City Recorder . was instructed to render a report month ly. HORSES THAT HAVE MENINGITIS Queer Illness Proves Fatal to Baker County Teams. The horses iu Sumpter valley have been the viotims of an epidemio which oompetent voterinarians have declared has all the symptoms of cerebrospinal meningitis. The epidemic has caused some alarm among horsemen of that section, but it seems that the disease has been obeoked from further inroads by the work of the veterinarians. . The Baker City Domoorat says. Dr. C. F. Kerinek of Salem, who with Dr. F. T. Notz of Baker City, spent yesterday in Sumpter investigat ing the epidemio that has visited the horses in this region, last night re ported that the trouble is not as ser ious as feared and all have not been from the epidemic. The treatment gvien by Dr. Notz to prevent the spread of tho disease bus been heartily endorsed. Dr. Charles F. Korinek has returned from Baker City and the Sumpter val ley where be went to investigate the epidemio aforementioned, at the re quest of Governor Cbamberlaio to whom Mayor Edwards of Baker City bad appeuled for assistance. Dr.' Ko rinek went there to investigate the epi demio which bad affected more than a score of horses of all classes. In company with Dr. Lyttle, of Pen dleton, state sheep inspector, and one of the ablest veterinarians in the state and Dr. F. T. Notz of Baker City, ho went to Sumpter valloy and held three post mortem examinations on some of the affected horses which were ordered killed. All classes of horses were affected and the symptoms whiob were found led the doctors to conclude that the disease was cerebrospinal menin gitis. Id the three cases that came under the supervision and investigation of the veterinarians, it was found that the braiu and spinal cord were in an affected condition. The horses are apparently in good condition when they suddenly fall and lay down, making it necessary for some one to lift them up before tbey canregain their poise. After being raised up they continue on their way for a time, but again fall. It seems that tbe entire system of the animal is broken down and tho veterinarians are doing all they can to check the inroads of the epidemio and so far have met with some success. Tbe cause of tbe disease has been as signed to the poor hay and musty oats. A tissue builder, reconstructor, builds up waste force, and makes strong nerves and muscle.
