A Field for Ambitious BOYS.

The rapid developments in engineering

Panama regions are making engineering
one of the most inviting fields open to
American boys to-day. The boy who has
a knack for making things cannot do bet
ter than to become a student Of engineer.
ing. The opportunities are there aud all
he needs is to grasp them.
This situation will continue indefinite
ly. Ambitious boys are seeing this.
The enrolment in the School Of Engi.
neering Of the Unworthy OF Missouri has
increased from IS to 35+ in the six years
from 1900 to 1905. Another point worthy
of note is that there are more students in
engineer ny than in m other profes,
sional course III the University, and
again, the number Of engineer ng stu
dents is greater than the combined
strength of the Medical and Agriculture
departments. At commencement, the
engineers constituted II third Of the
total number OF graduates. Despite this
fact the demand for men trained in this
profession was greater than the supply.
, The boy who wants to do things. to be
somebody, may well begin the study Of
engineering this year.

There is no Disgusting the fact
that the February freeze damaged
the peach crop of Umatilla county,
>at least in the Milton district" said
n. W. Mumford manager of the
Walla Walla Produce company at
Freewater yesterday, to the East Ore
gonian.
THE crop will be very light and
most of the peaches used in the coun-
ty will be imported this season. other
fruit is not damaged. Cherries,
plums, pears and prunes are all in
first-class condition and all kinds of
berries will yield heavy crop"
The Freewater and Milton district
is becoming rapidly transformed into
solid orchard and berry patch
Along the lower road from Freewater
to Walla Walla the settlement is SO
thick that it is almost a continuous
village.
Freewater people sincerely hope
for a favorable issue of the project
to build an electric road from thai
! point to Wallula. The distance is
about 81 miles and it would give ac.
cess to a rich country in the Hudson
| Bay, which would eventually become
a solid orchard.

Since the beginning of the recent
agitation for the improvement of the
business streets of Pendleton. the
present condition and the tendencies
in Main street real estate have be-
come matters of considerable discus
sion.
A look into the history of Main
street for the past few years shows a
condition of advancing values such
as does not often occur in a city be
it large or small. Within that time
land upon that street has more than
doubled in value, If the sales that
have been made within the past year
or more are to be taken as a crlter-
ion of the general condition.
| A well known citizen stated yester-
day afternoon that six years ago the
land upon which the Schempp lodg-
ing house now stands-5O feet-could
have been purchased for $500 and as
comparison with present values
mentioned the purchase of the ground
of the John Schmidt building-75
feet-and practically of the same
proportionate worth, for which $12,-
| 500 was paid over a year ago.
Besides the above there are a num-
Der of other recent sales showing the
increase in Main street values. Among
these are the sale of the Despair
property on the corner of Cottonwood
and Alta, 100x90 to H. F. johnson
for $4,000, and of the Platzoeder
interest in the Platzoeder- -Medernach
building. in which $22,5OO was paid
Mr.. Platzoeder for his part of the
building, his lots in the rear and his
butchering business. These are but
a few instances, but they show the
tendency of the market.
Another feature, and one that is of
considerable bearing in view of the
proposed Improvement is the fact
that by far the greater part of Main
street is now in the same hands that
it was before the advance in values
Thus showing that the present owners
| have had their property double in
value, while at the same time they
have been receiving high and ad'
? vancing rents. In view of this it Ger.
t tainly seems but reasonable that they
should be willing to pay for macad
; amizing, if not the paving of theil
, street.
In speaking on this last subjec
one property owner who was seer
yesterday expressed in strong term
; his belief that nothing short of as
phalt should be used on Main street
{ and that those owning propert
would be benefited by such to a

swered in the affirmative, and when
questioned as to his choice named
John A. Carson. Mr.. Carson, how
ever, happened to be in the court
room, and stated that he intended
going to San Francisco for an indef-
mite length of time, and therefore
would be unable to take the case.
Hon. P. H. Darcy was then appointed

Monte was brought from the peni-
Tertiary by Guard Charles Charleton

When asked his name he told the
judge he preferred to withhold his
true name, but that heNwas known
by the name of Charles Monte The
court then ruled that the name of
Monte should be used during the
trial.
Monte took occasion to address the
court and said that he was serving a
six-year term in the penitentiary for
another crime, and failed to see how
they could take him out to try him
upon another charge. Sudge Burnett
replied by saying that he would not
rule upon the objection at this time,
and told Monte that his arraignment
would be no bar to a defense on that
ground in the future. Monte having
no choice for an attorney, H. j. Big
ger was appointed to take the case.
The court room was crowded dur
ing the arraignment by people anx-
ious to get a glimpse of Wright and
Monte. The event, however, passed
without special incident and lasted
but few moments. Monte was re-
turned to the penitentiary, and
Wright occupies his cell in the coun-
ty Jail.

The practice of the socialists has
been to hold weekly meetings, and for
several weeks past these meetings
have been growing steadily in the
point of attendance. At these meet
ings the plans of the party for the
coming campaign have also been con-
sidered.
In a quiet way, it was said last
night, the party has formed an or
ganization and workers are canvass
ing the city for votes for the party.
c. A. Bungay, the party nominee
for mayor, was at the meeting last
night. Mr.. Bungay is putting up an
earnest campaign, and he and his as
sociates claim to have been assured
an exceptionally large vote for the
party in the Lidgerwood park neigh
borhood this year. Mr.. Bungay has

Charges 20 Cents to Witness and Lis
ten to an Advertisement.
Playing at the Frazer theater dur
ing this week is a soap advertising
concern which is trying to pass as a
vaudeville troupe, and which for
downright audacity probably exceeds
anything that has ever been in the
city before.
The company is billed as a vaude-
vile performance. and an admission
of 20 cents each is charged those who
attend. Last night a number of To-
cal people attended in the expectation
of seeing the usual vaudeville pro-
gram, but instead were treated to a
half hours discourse on soap before
the opening of the show.
Among those present last night was
a travelling man, and he expressed
surprise that the management of the
theater would allow admission to be
charged for an advertising perform
ance because of the effect of such a
policy upon attendance in the future.
