MAY ENDEAVOR
To DIE POOR
Gifts for Year Likely
to Exceed His
Income.

NEW YORK. Aug 15.-Is John d.
Rockefeller seeking to emulate the ex-
ample Of Andrew Carnegie in trying 10
avoid dying rich?
The Standard Oil Company declared
dividend of IS a share to-day. This
amounts to- a total OF S6.000,000. OF
which Rockefeller's- portion will be
81. 400, 900. In the past three months he
has given away at least S11,500.000. or
100000 more than he viii receive
from Standard Oil. He is also cOnsid-
ering a S5O,00O,0O0 gift TO the Univer-
sity of Chicago if he has not already
decided upon the gift.
In all Rockefeller will probably re-
ceive $4,000, 900 this year as his share
of Standard Oil. II his other invest
ments yield him S10.000.000 his total
income will be $26.000,O0O.
He has given away a total of S14,-
100000 so far in 1905. II he makes the
100000 gift to the Chicago Uni
versity the total will be $4,000, 900 for
the year. or about two and half times
his income. Should this come TO pass
Rockefeller for the first time IN his life
would be poorer at the years end than
he was at its beginning.

DETROIT, Aug. 15.-The annual con-

tion Of Factory Inspectors opened here
to-day. About $50 delegates were
present. The speech Of Mr.. Bodie, who
Is superintendent Of compulsory educa-
tion IN Chicago, was the feature OF the
day and created a mild sensation among
the delegates The speaker produced
Federal statistics covering the past
twenty years, showing that the indus
trial competition Of women, children
and machine labor was driving the
men out Of the large cities to fields
OF heavy manual labor in mining and
agriculture. He declared that women
were destined 10 be the ruling sex in
industrialism, and continued:
Man. like the Indian. is dying out
and being driven out In 1890 there
were 3,9I4.57I women who were en-
ployed in gainfUl occupations in Amer
lea. In 1900 the number had increased
70 5.229.S07- The BIRTH rate Of females
Is increasing and the death rate des
creasing. Il is just the reverse among
the males. We are rapidly drifting to
the age of eternal feminine wnen
man viii be a back number and forced
10 return TO the soil and 10 those fields
OF labor where only his physical endur-
ence viii save him in the struggle for
survival"
In discussing the competitive life for
leaders, hip in society, the speaker said:
.-Soclety is dying out at the top. II
IS z crystal maze Of glass houses, where
no occupant dares throw the first stone;
the dangerous example-the academy
OF divorce. Society has mothers who
are slaves TO the siren calls of fashion
and frivoIity, who look more often into
their mirrors than into the faces of
their children. With a fashionable
mother gadding about at social func-
tions and a fashionable father at his
club, the result viii be that within a
decade the question OF the neglected
children Of the rich viii become as
great a social problem as that of the
neglected children Of the poor"

which will be held in Chicago tO-mor-
row and the next day is a statement
vouched for in high quarters here. 1t
is declared that positive information
has been received that much of the
needed funds for the gathering have
come from the offices of Armour d Co.
The conference purports to be nom
political. The prime mover in it is
former Senator Harris of Kansas, a
Populist 1t has been announced that
the keynote of the session would be
President McKfnleys last speech at
Buffalo, in which he declared the
period of exclustyeness is past"
About week ago the promoters of
the affair charged that officials of the
Government were Indifferent toward the
conference and that even President
Roosevelt was adverse TO receiving a
formal invitation, to which he would
have to make a formal reply. An ef
fort was made to get Secretary Wilson
of the Department of Agriculture and
Secretary Metcalf OF the Department
or Commerce and Labor 10 attend, but
they declined
Should a foreign Government like
Germany enter upon a tariff war with
the United States, because of the con-
tinued maintenance of high tariff, the
meat export trade and the commerce
abroad in American agricultural ma
chinery would be the first interests
hard hit This is said to explain their
interest in the reciprocity conference.
If President Roosevelt follows GER
tain advice which has been given him
there will be no reciprocity treaty
with Germany. The German Govern
ment, which has given notice that it
will next spring terminate its most
favored nation" treatment of all coun-
tries which do not make commercial
concessions for German products, is
anxious for a reciprocity treaty. There
are grave doubts that the United States
Congress will ratify any new trade
treaty with Germany.

DESTRUCTIVE TO BUSINESS.
High Rental Turns Prospective Pur-
chaser Elsewhere.

The following account of an Incl
dent which occurred here but day
or two ago shows the way in which
the exorbitant rents on Main street
caused by the saloon demand for To-
cations, tend to keep other business
off that street.
A. A. Quatermass and wife, of Abb
on, n. Y, came here a few days ago
after having sold their property in
that state for $4,000. They were de-
sirous of going into the confectionery
business, and while here negotiated
with Mr., Irwin for the purchase of
the Delta. The location and the busi-
ness was all that could have been de-
sired by the intended buyer, and he
said the terms were satisfactory to
him. However, when he learned that
the rent for the rooms was $65 per
month he dropped the deal, saying
that such was entirely too high for
the business. Consequently he has
gone on to Portland in hopes Of find
ing a suitable opening there. How
ever, he may yet decide to return to
Pendleton to live.

vailing price for pigs has been from
s2,50 to SO for pigs weighing from
20 to 40 pounds. A large amount OF
this kind of stuff has changed hands
in the past 10 days and several butch
ers have secured handsome supply
of future porkers, by taking pigs OF
this size at almost any price
In many parts of the county fat
hogs have been worth their weight in

C. C. Kinney, join representative in
the legislature from Sherman, Gillian
and Wheeler counties, arrived here
last evening from Salem, where he
has been living during the winter. To-
day he has been visiting acquaintan-
ces. and among others, called upon
the local members of the legislature
An interesting life is that which has
been followed by Representative Ku-
ney. Raised in the east he began life
as travelling salesman. and followed
the road for l3 years, during which
time he made nearly every portion Of
the United States and travelled through
this section of oregon before the rail-
road was built. At that time he was
travelling for a machinery firm, and
on one of his trips to Pendleton the
stage upon which he was riding was
held up in the Blue mountains.
Aside from travelling in the United
States Mr.. Kinney also made trips to
New Zealand and other south sea
islands, and placed American made
machinery in those countries.
On leaving the road he went into
the hotel business in Kansas where
he invested $11, 900 in a hostelry and
came out with s129,5O some time later,
Thereupon he went upon the road
again and afterwards purchased a
farm in Marion county. for which he
did not secure a valid deed, and after
losing the place came out $4,000 in
debt besides. However, he has met
with better success in Sherman coun-
ty. where he has now lived for many
years, and where he is ranked as one
of the substantial men of the county
His land in that county has now be
come of such value as to make hin
comfortably situated, and to allow Of
his making his home in Salem during
the winter months.

have caught on all right in Baker
City and made good before a crowded
house last night. The Zinns are the
people who can deliver the goods with

ing. If you like this sort of comic
opera you will be In front of the spot

yet found it to your taste you should
go so as to get the habit, for the Zinns

sweeping folds of yards of drapery,
you must see the dances to realize
what music and poetry is in them.

Some interesting testimony was
given this afternoon in the famous
Echo mule case, which is being tried
in the circuit court, and which has
attracted almost as much attention as
Uncle Sis Maud.
Shortly before noon Frank Frazier,
the well known horse trainer, was
placed on the stand by Attorney John
McCourt and questioned regarding the
possibilities of changing brands on a
mule or horse, and also in regard to
the probable age of the brand on the
particular bay mare mule" involved
in the suit According to previous
evidence a 1T brand on the mule had
been changed to w or vice versa, and
Mr. Frazier enlightened the jury as to
how such work might be done.
Following the examination Judge
Fee took the witness for cross-exam-
ination and after inquiring his name
and his residence, which questions
the witness seemed to regard as su-
perfluous he asked Mr.. Frazier on
what range he was running horses.
This the latter denied doing and said
that he kept his horses in n pasture.
AS to the speed of his animals he said
that they We're mixed, some being
fast and some not so much So" How
ever, they were admitted to be high
bred animals and that he did not
brand them. AS to his experience
with branded stock it was developed
that the witness had run sheep on
the Touchet many years ago, and that
there was a corral and public water
ing place on his ranch.
Did you ever change any brands
there or see any such work done?"
asked Judge Fee.
NO" replied Mr.. Frazier, they
didn't do such things in that corral. y
Several other questions along the
same line from Judge Fee brought en-
| phatic denials from the witness who
said that what he knew of how
brands might be changed was from
Judgment, and not experience
