officers during the coming season: G.
B. Sampson, president; Harry Thomp-
son, vice president; Cecil Wade, Sec
retary; Roy Ritner. treasurer; Dan P.
Smythe, manager; Mark Moorhouse,

MUST IMPORT WHEAT.
Supply Of American Millers Is Now
Very Low.

The following remarkable state
of milling wheat In the United States
is from the New York Herald:
Probably the most important flour
milling establishment in the United
States, the Pillsbury- Washburn COM
pany, of Minneapolis, has practically
announced its intention to the grain
and flour trade OF the world that 1t
will this year be forced to import
wheat for flour milling purposes. One
of its most important mills is to be
placed under the supervision of a
government customs officer and 1t is
the intention OF the company to
bond" this plant and a big elevator.
The significance of this step is
grasped only when it is considered
that this large flour milling establish
ment practically admits that the
United States, so long regarded as the
bread basket of the world" cannot
this year furnish it's own millers with
purposes,
This fact has gradually become
known in the almost complete cessa-
ton of exports of wheat and flour, as
shown by the weekly statistics of the
leading export points. In Wall street
observers have continually pointed
out the diminishing volume of exports
of wheat and flour during the last
few years. This year, when the spring
wheat crop was suffering from ex.
cessive moisture, and finally wher
smut and rust developed, playing
havoc with the crop, 1t was predict
ed that the country would be unable
to export any quantity of wheat ant
flour. The wheat markets in New
York and Chicago reflected the scare
ity of grade wheat, and prices con
tinued to advance to a point wher,
the wheat markets of the Unitet
States became the dearest in th
&, world,
! No one believed however, that
condition would arise where American
tnillers would be forced to impor
wheat. No doubt now exists, what
ever, on that subject.

Who is the dean of the Pendle-
ton bar? This is a matter that has
been discussed somewhat of late, es-
pecially among the legal fraternity
in the city. At the death of the late
Judge Balleray, there passed away
the oldest Pendleton practitioner, as
we'll as one of the best legal minds of
the city. To ascertain upon whom
the honored mantle has fallen, the
writer yesterday consulted with nu-
merous attorneys upon the subject.
1t was found to be the general senti-
ment that the title of dean belongs
continuously in this city the greatest
number of years.
Reckoned upon the above basis,
the honor falls to County Judge
Henry ]. Bean, who has been prac-
ticing law continuously in this city
for "a years. having begun in the
early part of 1881. R. ]. Slater was
admitted to the bar in 1880, but has
not practiced here continuously, so is
thereby said to be ineligible. Judge
Thomas Fitz Gerald was also an early
practitioner in Pendleton, having ar
rived here in the fall or 1881, but like
Mr.. Slater, has not practiced contin-
uously.
In priority. of admission to the bar,
Circuit Judge w. r. Ellis has first
place, he having been admitted to
practice before the supreme court of
Iowa in 1874. The Judge moved to
Heppner in 1885. and has been a
practicing attorney all of the time
since with the exception of the six
years during which he was a men,
ber of congress and the time he has
been upon the bench.
Following closely after Judge Bean
are three more who began profess
sional work here during the sos. First
among these comes Judge James A.
Fee, who arrived in 1884, and really
had his first legal practice here.
Charles H. Carter has been an attor-
ney at this place for the past 10
years, having commenced in 1886. In
1889 T. G. HALEY came here and has
been practicing continuously during
the 16 years since his arrival in Pen
dleton.
In 1891 Judge S. A. Lowell arrived
here. and in the same year A. D. Still
man was admitted to the bar and be-
gan practicing. Both of these gentle
men engaged in newspaper work here
before taking up the law. Lowell be-
ing with the Tribune. and Stillman
with the East Oregonian.
| Colonel j. H. Raley was admitted
to the bar in 1898, and S. A, New
berry began along about that time.
W. M. Pierce was admitted in 1895,
after having served as county clerk
and school superintendent, and John
H. Lawrey commenced the year fol-
lowing. ]. T. Hinkle began practic-
ing here in 1897.
OF the later arrivals, II. E. Collier
came in 1899, John McCourt in 1900
the latter practicing alone for short
time before forming the partnership
with the late Judge Balleray. ]. B
Perry has been here since 1901, and
]. P. Winters since 1902. The three
youngest members of the Pendletor
bar, Dan P. Smythe, Roy Raley and
Ben K. Davis, have all begun within
the last two years. The very --latest
: arrival is District Attorney G. w
Phelps who has just come from
Heppner and has not yet established
al office down town,

County Named for Benton.

A new county named Benton, after
Old Tom Benton, who put through
congress the bill that sent General
Fremont to exploring the present
state of Washington in the forties,
has been created out of the eastern
parts of Yakima and Klickitat coun-
ties with the county seat at Prosser.
The new county will constitute the
fifty-eighth representative district
and form part of the fifteenth senate
district, and of the judicial district
now composed of Yakima. Klickitat
and Franklin counties-Walla walla

Water Works for Kendrick.

a definite step towards Improving

unanimous vote passed the ordinance
calling for the election on' April to
vote on bonding the town for $4,000
for a waterworks and sewerage sys-

Monster Steam plo,y.

A. Kunkel exhibited monster
steam plow on the streets today. The
machine comprises eight 14inch
plows pulled by 50-horse power
Geiser engine. 1t plows an acre in
travelling 1866 rods, and travels 1.-THE
rate of two and a quarter miles per
hour. 1t is the largest plow outfit
ever brought to the county and it is
thought will be adopted on the large
farms in the Athena and Helix wheat
belt because Of the economy in its
use.

CLAIMS DESERTION AND ABUSE
Allegation Made by Plaintiff in Di-
vorce Suit.

Suit for divorce was filed this
morning by Attorney Perry in behalf
of Ada V. Stewart, who desires sep
aration from Carl G. Stewart. The
complaint states that the two were
married on April 80, 1903. and that
they have no children. Also that
about November, 1903, the defendant
began a course of drunkenness, abuse
and vile language. The statement Is
also made that he failed to support
his wife though he was earning good
wages as plumber all the time. The
complaint further alleges that the de-
fendant left the plaintiff during Feb
ruary of this year, and the latter has
not seen him since.

There's nothing better
than SCOTS Emulsion after
the grip. When the fever
is gone the body is left weak
and exhausted; the nervous
system is completely run
down and vitality is low.
Two things to do: give
strength to the whole body
and new force to the nerves.

The Railway ConEress.

While a Senate committee is In session
for the purpose OF considerin 6 a plan
which could result only In impairing the
efficiency Of our transportation service,
a group Of railway men from all over
the world will hold a series Of meetings
In Washington for the consideration OF
means by which that service can be i'm
proved. The seventh international Rail-
way Congress will open In that city on
Nav 8.
These meetings have heretofore been
held In Europe, once In every FIVE years.
The gathering In Washington will servo
a double purpose, A series Of discus
sions will DO held, and papers will be
read in which a wide range OF topics will
be covered. These will doubtless be
characterized by helpful suggestion and
useful information. Foreigners as well
as Americans will take part In this fea-
ture Of the meeting, and the exchange
Of opinions and experiences cannot fail
To produce beneficial results.
On the other hand, there is probability
that several hundred foreign railway
men will be in attendance. This will
give a special Importance 70 the eIhibi-
ton Of railway appliances which Is 70 be
established in connection with the meet
ings. A large plot Of ground in the Gov
eminent parkway, just north Of the mon
ument, has been allotted for the pur-
poses Of the exhibition by special act OF
Congress. The wisdom Of establishing
precedent Of this kind may be doubtful,
but does not affect the possibility Of Inn
portant results in this particular case.
In the various buildings, now in process
Of erection, potential customers for
American devices will have an oppor-
tunity to see and to study great variety
Of the products Of American ingenuity
In appliances connected with railway
operations.
There will be 900 feet Of American
rails on which will stand completed
American engines and cars. Switching
and signal systems, lighting and heat
ing systems, car fittings, springs, coup
lers, brakes, individual parts Of the
mechanism Of engines, such as valves,
oilers, and cages, and all the multi
farious improvements, necessities and
conveniences applicable to railway trans
portation, will be spread out for the
study Of the visitors, Some Of II viii be
old to some Of them, but much Of It will
be new TO many.
The meetings, with the attendant
display, will certainly be instructive, and
there Is reason to believe that they will
also prove profitable in business way.
Some idea Of the Importance Of the
trade in this department Is obtained
when it Is understood that, besides O
fair amount In other branches, the United
States exported last year 5l7 completed
locomotives, Of q value Of t4,7OO,OOo.
The benefits Of such a gathering and
such an exposition are manifest.

what We thought or the JapS Eighty Years
AGO,


In view OF the important position held
By the japanese nation at tho present mo-
ment, the following description Of their
characteristics taken from the American
Edition OF a Geographical View OF the
World printed in New York ia 1879. is de-
oldedly interesting. At that time the popu-
lstion OF Japan was estimated as from Il. OOO.-
900 TO 80, 900. 900. The writer said:
Japan, that celebrated and imperial island,
bears q prominence among Eastern nations
analogous 10 that Of Britain among the nations
OF the west The japanese are represented 10 be
a nervous, vigorous people-Whose bodily and
mental powerB aSsimllAte much nearer 10 those OF
Europe than what IL attributed 70 ASiaucs in
general"
There could at that time have been but little
knowledge Of their personal appearance. for
the author goes on 70 ssy;
Their features are masculine and perfectly Euro.

Complexion imperfectly fair, indeed, blooming,
the women Of the higher classes being equally
fair With Europeans, and having the bloom Of
health more prevalent among them than Il usually
found In Europe.

"rhsy Cannot BE Justified"

After the Senate Committee on Jul
dietary had Topped from the bill for the
extension Of the powers OF the State
SUPERINTENDENT Of Elections the most
Objectionable provisions contained In
the original draft, the Senate itself
adopted an amendment. II was pro-
posed by JOHN RAINEs Of Canandaigua,
and was designed to increase the patron
age Of the Superintendent by allowing
the appointment Of $50 permanent depu-
ties whose salaries would cost the State
Slee, $50 year.
Against this action Of his colleagues
Senator NATHANIEL A. RLsBEBo, the
introducer Of the bill, protested, natur-
ally In vain. Mr.. ELsBERo does not pos
sess tho qualifications necessary In a
man who Is 70 pass on New York city
affairs. He IL q resident Of the city, a
LAWYER, a successful politician; how
can he have the presumption TO oppose
his opinion to that Of statesman from
Canandalgua1
Mr.. ELsBERa declared that the amend
ment offered by Mr.. RAREs cannot
be Justified It will provide Jobs for
$50 men with comfortable salaries from
the State. 1t is thereby justified in
the eyes OF the Republican County Com
mittee, whose officers drew the original
measure and the Raines amend ment.
A hundred and fifty Jobs on the State
payroll would justify anything to the
Odell architects Of this bill.
While Governor H1d0TNs Is reduced TO
the necessity of approving tax legisla-
ton Of which the best he can say is that
he hopes it won't do much harm TO the
business interests Of the State, the odell
agents are busy adding unnecessary
offices 10 the pay roll
