From decorative point of view the

entirely around the hall. The crown

GUS position in the Coliseum. Some.
thing of the magnitude of this painting
may be realized when 1t is said that
its surface is as great as the combined
surface of the sixty large pictures of
the president. President Roosevelt,
however, was as prominently shown
to the delegates in heroic painting

brought prolonged outburst of enthu.
siasm.
The incidents which are destined to
live long after the spasmodic demon

Roots tribute to President Mckinley.
The temporary chairman spoke of the
late presidents administration of
progress, his gentleness of character
and those qualities so beloved by the
nation, and in that connection said,
with feeling, "And with Mckinley we
remember Hanna" A hush, almost
oppressive, spread over the 1000 per-
sons present. The speaker had
paused expectantly. AS he started
to resume, the full force of the tie
stretched between the greatest polit-
ical heroes went home to the dele.
gates. A sympathetic wave of ap-
plause was carried to every part of the
great hall. The demonstration was
unlike any that preceded 1t or came
after 1t. An indefnable dignity was
attached to the demonstration which
seemed foreign to political gathering.

Pendleton precinct does not object
to noise if it is of the quiet kind: :
neither does it care much about dust,
so long as 1t is the good old Umatilla
county article, but the residents of
that portion of the city are up in
arms against carpet cleaning estab-
lishment in their neighborhood. Last
night Attorney j. T. Hinkle appeared
before the city council and presented
petition signed by 20 residents OF
Pendleton precinct, praying that the
alleged nuisance be abated.
In the course of it's remarks con-
cerning why the carpet cleaning
plant should be abated. the petition
reads: 1T is extremely noisy and
dusty; not such noise as would ordi-
narily be heard from running ma
chinery, but an excruciating, nerve
racking, jerky, humping. ceaseless
and soul-damning noise; not dusty in
the sense of good old-fashioned and
honest Umatilla county dust, but
subtle. penetrating, never settle, mi
crobe-laden, death-dealing dust, per-
vading the atmosphere and carrying
in its train all the terrors of thous-
and plaques.
THE undersigned petitioners most
humbly. earnestly and respectfully
beg and pray of your honorable body
that you will take immediate steps
to abate this most grievous nuisance
in the interests of womanhood, child
hood. of Christianity and the sacred
ties of home and family"
With smile, the honorable coun-
Gil referred the petition to the street
committee with power to act.

that conditions in that country are
simply superb for livestock, but that
the cattle prospects are not up to
those of the sheep outlook. He and
all the rest of the cattle men are dis
satisfied with present prices, and
hardly consider that it is an advan-
tage to have cattle which are now all
ready for the markets. on account
of the great abundance of feed the
cattlemen would be better satisfied
were their cattle all stockers, with d
winter of feeding before them, and
take their chances on prices in the
spring.

swAUGER's BUNDLES LOST.
North Fork Man Killed by Train Had
Bought -Four Pairs of Shoes.

One of the pathetic phases of the
tragic story of the horrible death of
Seymour Swauger, under the wheels
of train near Bingham Springs last
Saturday, is the fact that while in the
city Friday evening, before starting
on his fatal trip home, he bought
four pairs Of shoes for his children,
saying to friend that It was getting
pretty cold for bare feet on Meacham
creek. rs
None Of these bundles have yet
been found and have probably been
carried to the end of the road, in
the car in which Swauger was riding.
When last seen he had an arm full OF
bundles for the family, and so far as
is known none of them have been
located.
The aged mother of the unfortunate
man is prostrated with the terrible
accident. Just little over yeai
ago her husband committed suicide
at Kamela, and the tragic death oi
her eldest son, on whom she depend
ed for advice and aid in handling hei
affairs, hao left her entirely helpless

Iowa Man Thinks Umatilla County
the Best i'm the Coast States.

tne Best IN the Coast States.
Roy Briggs, who has cattle interests
in Page county. Iowa, has just arriv-
ed. coming from the west, having
taken a trip through California,
Western oregon and the Sound coun-
try.
California is overdone badly for
a man who only has a few thousand

country simply has an abominable
climate. have found but one dis
trict in the coast states that seems to
compare favorably with what 1 can
learn of Umatilla county, and that is
the Upper Willamette valley. and the
advantage then seems to be one OF
climate only, and industrial conditions
in the Upper Willamette are very
very slow"
This is Mr.. Briggs synopsis of his
Impressions of the coast states. An
old friend, Ozrow Miller, now a resi-
dent of Coeur d'Alene, will meet him
here tomorrow. and he expects to
look over the entire Palouse coun-
try before returning East, besides
putting in a couple of weeks in this
