Rummage Sale
The January Yellow Tag Sale left us with many odds and ends of
lines, goods that are to be discontinued. There are hundreds of such
items and these must make way for the regular lines which will take
their places. These are to be disposed of in a whirlwind Rummage
Sale, beginning Monday, Feb. 18th. To this end such goods are marked
at prices that wholly ignore original cost, true worth and selling value
quick disposal is the goal to be sought. Odds are the bane of the mer
chant, but what is an oddment with us in most cases is an ample supply
for the consumer, just as desirable as any goods.
The Immense Savings
To be made on such goods will close them out quickly hence it behooves
all to come as soon as possible. Rummage items bear green tags, so
you can locate them at a glance. There will be hundreds of them. See
Sunday's papers for pariculars, for hints, but come if possible and see
for yourself. Every department in the store has its share, including
the Exchange Department in the basement.

FIVE ARE BITTEN
BY MiD DOG
TAKING PASTEUR TREATMENT
Dr. Newsom Is Prepared to
Give the Treatment at His
Office in Athena.
23 Years Ago.
From the Press of Feb. 9 1894
Five persons were bitten by the
little fox terrier which for a long
time had been a favorite pet at Mrs.
Harden's boarding house, and which
became afflicted with rabies.
J. R. Mathers, local agent for the
O-W., Wm. Konasek, agent for the
Northern Pacific Company and Miss
Edna Harden, upon receipt of the
statement from the State Board of
Health that the dog was rabid when
killed by Dr. Baddeley, immediately
went to Portland and took the Pasteur
treatment. On the same train went
Dr. Newsom for the purpose of making
the necessary arrangements to secure
the serum for treatment of patients
here. The doctor was sucessful and is
now giving the treatment to the three
persons named above and also to
Pearl Linn and Johnny Kothrock, who
were also bitten by the dog. Dr. New
som has placed himself in position to
give the treatment to any person who
in future may require it. lhe cost 01
the treatment is 1(35.
Owners of dogs are evidently co
operating with tne authorities it
stamping out the disease, for no dogs
are to be seen on the streets, except
those wearing muzzles.
One other doe, that belonging to
Mr. DeFreece, residing near demons'
hop mill, was immediately killed
Monday, when it showed symptoms of
rabies.

Athena Wallops Pendleton.
For the first time since 1911, the
local High school basket ball team reg
istered defeat to a Pendleton High
school aggregation, when the Athena
boys met Pendleton on Pendleton's
floor last Wednesday night. A double
header contest was played, the Athena
boysw inning 47 to 19 and the girls
losing 27 to aSThe girls do not feel
sorrowful overtneir defeat, owing to
the fact that Pendleton has one of the
fastest girls' teams in tha Northwest.
The boys' game was characterized
by roughness, 10 personal fouls being
called on Athena and 9 on Pendloton.
The locals put up the best game of the
season, the main features being fault
less passing and accurate basket shoot
ing. The first halt ended zw to s in
favor of Athena. The Pendleton boys
came back in the last half with plenty
of "pep," but the half resulted in an
18 to 11 score for Athena. McPherrin
was the high point man for the locals,
making 21 of the 4 points. Booher
came next with 16, 4 of which were
converted fouls. Tharp followed with
i0 points. Dudley and Martin played
great defensive games. The game was
a great surprise to the Pendleton fans
as they expected to win by a large
score. The teams lined up and scored

Seattle Hogs $12.
Further phenomenal gains were made
in the livestock market at Seattle
when a load of 81 head of hogs, aver
aging 201 pounds was bought by one
of the packers at 12 a hundredweight.
The porkers were shipped by E. J.
Hardison of North Yakima, one of the
patrons of these yards since their open-
ng, and were raised by him. lhe teed
used was grain, no corn or ensilage
entering into the plan of maturity
The new 12-cent level spells an ar
bitrarv advance in quotations for the
day of 25 cents a hundredweight.
Packers are less certain of their ground
than at any time during the Winter
season and there were a few symptoms
of weakness. It is now felt, however,
that if there are any hogs in the coun
try these bids will bring them out.
Packing requirements of 2500 hogB a
day were responsible for the advance.
Receipts were 17211 head.
There was a strong market all around
at the Portland Btockyards. Cattle and
hog receipts were good, but the sheep
run was light. Hogs advanced to
new record price with the sale of
load at 111.75 Tuesday, an advance
of 30 cents over last weeks top. Cat
tic also moved up, prime steers selling
high as 19.20. Butcher cattle
moved within the previous range of
prices.

Kenneth Roper, who was on the

His mother, Flora McKay Roper, was

Inland Empire grain growers held
forth Friday afternoon and evening of
last week in Portland and demanded of
the Portland dock commission the
building of a public grain elevator
with an initial capacity of 1,000,000
bushels. The commission pledged its
utmost efforts to induce the people at
the June election to vote bonds for the
measure.
R. O. Earnhart of Pendleton said
that Umatilla county and especially
Pendleton, have come to swear by
Portland. He told how years ago the
Farmers' Union advocated bulk hand
ling and that recently a canvass was
made in his district and from 120,000
to 125,000 pledged for an elevator
which had been ordered constructed.
Many farmers, he said, had gone ahead
with the building of bins and other fa
cilities for holding grain in advance of
the coming season and that the facil
ities were permanent.
"We already have an elevator, built
of concrete, in which 1500 bushels
can be cleaned each hour with a stor
age capacity of 140,000 bushels, alBO a
barley roller and . dry-smutter, " he
said. "That is only a beginning, as
Weston has 120,000 collected for an
elevator and two others are planned,
while some sections are holdoing back
until it is known definitely whether
they can be taken care of at the Port
land terminal or elsewhere.
He told of one grower contending
with improvised facilities and would
not use sacks, who shoveled his grain
from wagons in the field to bins, later
shoveling it back to wagons and haul
ing it two and a half miles further
than would have been necessary if
sacked, where he was afjam called on
to shovel it into the mil! hopper, yet
asserted that even with the additional
work he would not go baci to sacks.
H. V. Davidhiser, of Joseph, said
that in Wallowa county alone, from
150,000 to $00,000 had been paid out
for saclts in 1910, and that for 10 years
the growers had paid large sums. . X$i's'
"The market of the world today ia
on a bulk basis, not sacked," he said.
The dedication of a new $36,000 el
evator at Pendleton will be made the
occasion for a big meeting of farmers
for the purpose of discussing the bulk
handling methods. It is planned- to "
make the Pendleton meeting one of a
series throughout eastern Oregon for
the purpose of arousing farmers to the
ecessity of abandoning the expensive
sack.
Appropriation Bills Passed.
Appropriations totaling 1344,555, the
first big appropriation bills to go
through both houses of the present
egislature, were passed by the senate
alo Tuesday. They had previously
passed the House.
This total of f14, 555, all ot which
for expenses and maintenance of
various state departments and institu
tions for the next two years, was di
vided among five hills, introduced by
the joint ways and means committee of
the two houses.
The appropriations included 1118,100
for expenses and maintenance of the
offices of the Governor, Secretary of
State and State Treasurer; 174,435 for
the Oregon State Training School;
156,260 for the Oregon State School
for the Deaf; :il,320 for the office of
Attorney General and $50,440 for the
upkeep of the State Capitol and Su
preme Court building. 1 he only other
appropriation measure that has passed
both houses was the bill carried early
in the session appropriating 125,000
toward the expenses of the Legisla
ture. Adding this 25,O0O to the
money appropriated Tuesday brings
the sum total of actual appropriations
to $3119.566.
