A Costly Souvenir

Efforts to break up petty thievery on
board the steamer River Queen resulted
last evening in the arrest of James Travers.
Travers is not considered as the person
that has taken all that has been missed.

Others similarly tempted.
Officials of the steamer stated to the po-
lice that souvenir collectors are so raven
Gus that they take about one hundred beer
mugs every week. The loss of so many
glasses was serious and the police were
asked TO look after the takers. Last even
ing when the big crowd left the boat the
officers, with "a pretense of hurrying the
people along, would feel their pockets. In
that of Travers they felt the outlines of
a beer glass and officer Farquhar asked
Travers to take walk with him. The
suspicious were justified when the man was
searched
The case was brought into the Police
Court this morning. Travers stated he had
not intended to be a thief, but took the
glass as a souvenir.
Judge Scott imposed a fine of IS or fif.

The Presidents announcement practically

Umatilla is the scene Of greater activ-
ity in the breeder trade than any
other Pacific coast county-an be-
cause her breeders have constantly
raised the grade of the herds from
the old scrub of 20 years ago to the
heavyweight Of 1905. which will shear
10 per head the county over.
There is ready sale for this grade
of sheep. Montana, Wyoming and
Idaho buyers are already on the
ground, hoping to secure choice lots
early. 1t pays to breed for better
strains. The big, heavy fleeced sheep
of this county are known all over the
Pacific coast as the acme of good
breeding. AS a consequence, they
bring a third more in the markets,
produce a third more profits in wool
and cost no more to keep than a
scrub.

THE WINDS OF THE SOUTH.

The winds of the North are cold and
frost-filling,
And wild when they furry and
scold;
The rains of the East are rain-swept
and chilling,
And the winds of the West are oft
bold.
But there are sweet winds that soothe
as the showers
That fall in desert of drouth,
And they are the winds from the for
ests and flowers
The sweet-scented winds of the
South.
'Tis the call of the South to her chill
dren far-drifted.
Each wind is a message she sends:
Come back to the land that all Ma
ture has gifted
And the sweet Summer time neer
ends;
oh, truants come back when the wide
world is dreary,
The pines instill courage anew,
And the mocking birds song is the
song for the weary
The South wind is calling to you!"

Harry b. Henderson, of Cheyinne,
state examiner of Wyoming, who was
in Pendleton last week, has been ask
ed to arrange a set of municipal ac-
counts for the city of Portland, and
to frame law creating the office
of public examiner of accounts of that
city. wyoming has had this office
since the state was admitted to the
Union. and has lost not one cent by
defalcation nor crookedness in public
accounts. Every account, including
state. county, municipal and school
district. is examined regularly A
close check is kept on every public
official and as a result, many times
the salary of the examiner is saved
in losses by mistakes and crooked
ness. Wheeler county has just lost
$4,000 in her sheriffs office, more
than the yearly salary of the exam
iner for the entire state. Baker coun-
ty has suffered a loss of $4,000 by
mistakes and crookedness of officials
and vet a public examiner of accounts
at a salary of $4,000 per year would
have prevented these losses. 1t is an
office worthy of the consideration of
Oregon legislators.

UMATILLA VS.. Los ANGELES.

The summers of Umatilla are those
of syria, and the soil as that of Sicily;
a combination of mlldness and vigor
in the climate that produces the semi
tropical crops with none of the ener-
waiting effects of the tropics on the
population; a combination of rich
ness. delicacy and elasticity in the
soil, which, yields as ceaselessly as
man plants. showing no weariness or
deterioration but filled with peren-
nial vigor whose storage batteries are
the vast layers of volcanic ash under
lying the surface everywhere.
Thomas Il. 3-eaIs, soil expert of the
department of agriculture, who has
tested Umatilla county soils, and eli
mate, in a brief way, but who will
make thorough and exhaustive ex-
animation, says the growing season
in Umatilla county is IA days longer
than that of Los Angeles.

praised and exploited, the diversity of
her products called one of the 40
wonders of the Pacific coast, and her
real estate held as precious as the
nugget-laden placers of the Yukon.
While here in the unostentatious
sage brush wilds of Umatilla, humid
reds of thousands of acres of it yet
unclaimed, lies an empire just as
promising far more vast and more
abundantly blessed with sunshine and
growing weather, than the sunkissed
domain tributary to Los Angeles, the
