Next Monday, May 22, is the date
for the first wool sales day in Pen
dleton and also the first in Eastern
Oregon. Every day wool is now ar
irving at the warehouses here for
that event. and 1t is said that there
will be 100000 pounds to be sold
upon that occasion. At the prices
that are being paid this year the sale
of this quantity of wool will mean
the placing of about $165,000 in the
hands of the growers.
However, all of the Umatilla coun-
| ty clip is not being held for the
sales day; in fact, by far the greater
part of the wool that has thus far
reached the warehouse is already
sold. According to Manager Suth-
erland of the local warehouse. there
has been approximately a million
pounds of wool brought to the ware
house this season. and of this amount
about two-thirds has already been
purchased by the representatives of
the wool using houses. Considera-
Bile of the early purchased wool has
already been shipped. Some five or
six cars have been consigned from
here to New Jersey and New Eng
land factories, and within a few days
several more cars will be sent The
wool is all baled here before ship
ment.
Great efforts have been made by
the buyers this year to secure the
wool before the sales days, and the
entire country has been worked by
them, every possible means beinf
used to induce the growers to par
) with their clips without waiting fol
the sealed bids on the sales days
) Seemingly good prices have beer
made by them, and consequently
. many have let their clips go. 1t hal
. been said that the activity of tn,
buyers has been caused by their de
sire to secure all the wool possibl,
before the sales days and thus brinl
the latter into discredit. That tn,
buyers do not look with favo
upon the sales days is doubtless true
but that they have made higher price
L than they otherwise would in orde
y to break up the sales days, is mat
: ter of question. 1t is more likel,
that their activity has been cause,
: by the fact that their houses need tn
wool, and that they have used sucl
means as were necessary to insur
: getting the amounts wanted
However, theer are many grower
who have been proof against the vile
of the eager buyers, and have he'll
their clips for the sales days. Amon
those who have done this and vii
have their clips on sale here May 22

News in a Norman Town.

George Buchanan Fife, in Harper Mag
 azine.
 The town crier was a swarthy piratical looking person in cap and cardigan Jacket and wrinkled trousers. who carried a shiny brass snare drum, which he beat after his own fashion, to summon the villagers whenever there was news of especial inn nortance to be disseminated. On these oc- casions he paraded the streets drumming industriously, although quite regardless of rhythm, until every one in Veules was crazy with excitement. When he halted at inc corners with last resounding four isb of his brass-butted sticks, the peo- ple had already hurried out of their houses and were awaiting him. As soon as every one was attentvely quiet he would draw from his pocket a scrap of paper and from It read solemnly the news Then he would drum himself off. the little knot of people he had collected wagging their heads and watching him until he turned the corner. One day after his drum had been echoing through the village for an hour or more, one of the Americans spied him in side street just as he was moving away from a crowd of men and bare armed women, who had been hanging on his words. The American hastened on. and upon overtaking the crier, asked him. somewhat breathlessly, what had happened. The crier immediately ceased his drumming and. swinging about, plucked forth his scrap of paper, and said:

PERKINS ON JOURNALISM.
The Great Newspaper Man Is Not a
 Journalist.

From the Washington Times.
 After his lecture before the journalistic class at Cornwall university, a sophomore asked Eli Perkins when he became journalist.
 Never" said Eli, "but do hope after twenty years more experience to become newspaper man"
 Well, what is the differenceY" asked the sophomore. Just this, my son." said Ell. "A callow reporter calls himself a journalist. As George Welshone says, in his first tad pole stage, when his head IS swelieo' he Is a journalist If he finally shows great brain and industry, and escapes the foolkiller, he may become a reporter After years of study and toll, and when his brain Is stuffed with wisdom, wlt and discretion enough to kill his own edi- torials and makeup a sixteen-page sun day edition, then l say he's newspaper man.
 linen this Is as high in the profession as he can get?''
 "Yes; he's now at the pinnacle. By and by, when he gets lazy, and stin and old and stupid, they reduce him to the position of an editor.
 An editor Is a deceased newspaper man with bunions on his brain, chill plains on his heart. corns on his ears, and warts and dyspepsia on his liver. The business of the editor is to sleep up town all day and at night he prowls around newspaper office, and at mid night he takes blue pencil and assas- sinates every bright and readable idea that the smart reporters have brought in during the day.
 'The editor Is all epithet, while the reporter Is all proof. The editor calls a man a chicken thief and gets sued for libel, while the reporter. kodak in hand interviews him while picking off the fea- thers in his back yard, and the next day the thief takes whole page adver- tisement to shut up the newspaper
 "No," continued Eli, '1 hope l am a newspaper man, and I dread the time when I shall get old and stupid and nave to kill my own bright things which made the people glad sold newspapers ana made Americans know me-

WEARS HIS HAT AT TABLE.
Customer Leaves Restaurant Rather
 Than Doff Headgear.

From the Des Moines Capital.
 '1 will pay for my bread and coffee whatever price you ask, but l will not take off my hat to eat,' was the astound- ing declaration of a stranger who ap- peared in a popular downtown cafe yes terday during the noonhour rush.
 He was short, somewhat stoopshould- cred, and wore a heavy grizzly beard. He first appeared in the middle of the forenoon, when but a few girl walters were in the cafe. He seated himself at table, not moving his hat and puffed vigorouIfy at 0 cigarette.
 His order was taken and served. With out comment he paid his bill and left. When he returned at noon and sat down to a table the head waitress informed him that it was customary for the gem tlemen to remove their hats.
 "I never take my hat off when l eat. It is against my principles. l always smoke when l eat; it is a part of my pleasure. l have stopped at hotels where it cost me $I to $30 day, and was all lowed to eat with my hat on."
 "1 am sorry" said the waitress, but if you eat here you will have to aban- don the cigarette and remove your hat as other gentlemen do."
 The stranger protested with the pro- pIietor, and finally went away without giving his order because he could not eat with his head covered.

LONELINESS OF THE CITY. People Who Live Together for Years Without Knowing Each Other.

Theodore Dreiser in. Tom Watson's Mag
 azine.
 There are perhaps a hundred people in our apartment house, thousand, or 1t may be two or three thousand, in our block They live in small, comfortably furnished and very convenient apart ments, but they live alone. No one ever sees any exchange of courtesies between them. They are not interested in the progress of the lives of the people about them. You might live there year. or ten years, and l doubt If your next door neighbor would so much as know of your existence. He is too busy. Your business might fail, your children perish You might suffer every calamity form heart-ache to literal physical destruction, and I doubt whether he would ever hear of 1t. Marriage, birth, death any and all of the other homely and really essential happening of life are all trivial under the new dispensation. Neither you nor your wife nor children nor your children's children have any interest in them. It is all as if you really did not exist.
 The pathos of all this Is that these people never quite. realize, until some of the real calamities of life overtake them, what they have been ignoring and casting aside. Until they are old until they are stricken with Illness, until they stand bereft of fortune, or until they are visited by death--then. and then only, do they become aware of the importance of the individual relationship. It matters not in such an hour what tue prime in- portance of the world may be. It will not avail them to know that the world still goes un ani ths. the principal thorough fares of the great cities are alive " .th a spectacle forever fascinating ard for ever new. Life in the aDbtract cannot aid them then. They are alone. left long ing for personal relationship. with an aching, and too often. a breaking heart Friendship, affection tenderness. how they loom large in the hour of despair!
