crawling under the drivers of the hind

Through that they passed a second

toppled back with a crash, and the
foremost axman perring into the
opening saw the heart of the wreck.
Bending forward, he picked up some
thing struggling in his arms They
thought it was a man, but 1t was a

heard. Benedict Morgan threw the
man and his burden aside and stepped
himself into the gap and through. One

Delaroo. He stood as if with ear alert,

gon,' said Leon Cohen, president of
the Umatilla- Morrow County Fair
commission and the Commercial as
sociEtion, upon arriving home this
morning from Salem, where, In COM
pany with a bunch of fellows PEN
dleton business men, he visited at the
state fair for a few days.
Just why he prefers the land of
grain and sunshine to the moss and
rain of "Wehfoot" Mr.. Cohen does
not explain in detail. But his manner
is so positive that there can be no
doubt of his sincerity. Likewise the
same is true of Lee Teutsch, and at
the same time both he and Mr.. Cohen
insist that they We're we'll treated in
the capital city, lost no money on nut
shell games, nor went wrong on any
of the horse races.
That the people of Salem are nice
people and are having a nice little
fair is admitted by the above gentle
men. However, they intimate that tho
town has been living off state aid so
lonE that it has forgotten how TO
stand alone and could not make liv-
ing for itself If turned out into the
cold, creul world.
The gentlemen from this city went
to Salem for the purpose of learning
something that would be of value in
connection with the coming district
fair to be held here. Whether or not
they benefited by the trip they do not
say but suggest that hereafter the
Salem people will come here when
they want to find out how a first
class fair should be held.

In the republican primaries held in
Walla Walla county yesterday Senator
Ankeny's forces succeeded in electing
barely enough delegates to control the
county convention, which will be held
in Walla Walla tomorrow.
In the town of Walla Walla the anti
Ankeny forces elected 35 delegates and
the Ankeny forces 80 delegates to the
county convention, but the country
precincts are expected to send in suf-
ficient Ankeny delegates to make his
control of the county convention cer-
tain. although there is nothing to
boast of ir the victory.
So bitter and intensely personal has
been the fight preceding the primaries
that business was actually about sus-
pended in Walla Walla county for a
few days. The party in Walla Walla
county and in fact in the entire east
ern section of the state is divided on
the question of supporting Senator An
keny. This has led to bitter factional
fights. to the establishment of a
strong anti-Ankeny paper, the Bulle-
tin, in Walla Walla, and in a war to
the knife against the Walla Walla sen.
tor.
The close result of the primary cleo
ton yesterday demonstrates how
strong the fight upon Senator Ankeny
has been and shows that it will require
excellent generalship to prevent COM
plete route at the coming state cleo
tion.
1t is thought that if Senator An
keny's forces control the county con-
vention tomorrow, and nominate all
Ankeny candidates, that the anti-An-
keny forces will bolt the convention
and ally themselves with the demo-
Gratis on a fusion ticket for the pur-
pose of accomplishing the final over.

BETTER SHOWS COMING.
New Regulation by Passenger Agents
Helps Companies.

The following from the Lewiston
Tribune applies directly to Pendleton:
Better attractions than ever are as
sured for Lewiston and the entire
northwest from this time on. as a re-
suit of the recent ruling of the rail-
roads. This ruling is to the effect
that with every 25 tickets sold to the
atrical companies, they will give one
baggage car free of charge.
The heavy expense for the trans
portation of scenery and costumes has
been the great drawback in restrain
ing so many good companies from
visiting this section. The managers
realize that Lewiston and other cities
on the circuit of the Northwest The
atrical association are the best show
towns in the country, but they have
been unable to send their attractions
out this way because of the heavy ex-
penditure that would be incurred.
But this has been removed by the
new regulations just issued by the
Trans-continental Passenger associa-
tion affecting theatrical baggage and
which went into effect September /.
Hitherto all travelling theatrical
companies which buy % tickets win
be given one extra baggage car free
of charge. This will result In a great
saving of money to theatrical manag-
ers during the season. an excess bag
gage charges over the long lines of
travel in western territory were a
heavy item in the seasons expenses.
