TRAINED DOGS AND PONIES.
Good Performance Given by Burch s
Reiss Today,

One of the best collections of
trained dogs and ponies ever seen in
Pendleton was exhibited by Burch &
Reiss this afternoon at their circus
performance which was given on
West Webb street, and which will be
exhibited again tonight at o'clock.
An unusual number of trained
ponies is owned by Burch and Reiss
and their trained dogs are superior in
every way. The menagerie, while 1t
is small, is well selected and presents
good appearance. The entire show,
while not of great proportions Is
clean, neat, well-kept and presents a
good performance.
The music is exceptionally good.
The Italian band which is in the em-
ploy of the circus being made up of
first-class musicians, and the band
comprises 80 Instruments.
The parade which was given at
noon, was witnessed by large numbers
of people and was very good in every
particular. The evening performance
will begin promptly at s o'clock this
evening. The tents are located on the
vacant lots of ground near the cross
ing of the o. r. & n. tracks on West
Webb street. A large crowd visited
the performance this afternoon and
the crowd at the evening performan~ ~e
promises to be equally large.

RASPBERRY BREAKS RECORD.
Angling Barber Catches "a Fish
Weighing 81 Pounds.

What is said to be the best catch
of fish ever made from any of the
streams of this section was made Sun
day last by William Humphreys, the
well known barber. Along with
score of anglers Mr.. Humphrey went
to the mountains on the early morn
ing train that day and spent his time
fishing in the Umatilla near. Bingham.
During the day he filled his basket,
and nearly all of those caught were
large ones. On returning to town in
the evening he weighed "a of the
largest, and found the total weight to
be 81 pounds. This is regarded as a
remarkable catch.
Others who went fishing the same
day report excellent catches. How
ever, the big hauls were made by the
experienced anglers, and many others
who tried their luck with the rod were
disappointed.

CLEANING STREETS
THE HOUSEHOLDERS ALL
NEED REINFORCEMENTS
A Crew Must Be Put on at the Ex-
pense Of the City IL the Work Is
Properly Done Before, July Fourth,
Because OF Vacant Lots-General
Demand That City Prisoners Be
Continued on Street Work: System
Pleases the Property Owners and
Suits the Prisoners.

In response to the request of the
Fourth of July committee many Of
the householders of the city have been
engaged in cleaning up the streets in
front of their premises during the
past few days. Yesterday afternoon
Colonel j. H. Raley was found busily
engaged with a shovel clearing away
the grass and rubbish in front of his
residence of College street. Also he
did the same for his neighbor on the
north, who is a widow. Many other
property owners have done the same
thing as Colonel Raley, and the
streets are looking better as result.
However, there are so many vacant
lots and so many homes in which
there is no one to do the work, that
it will be impossible to get the streets
in proper shape unless crew of men
be put to work.
Since the flood the prisoners in the
city Jail have been required to work
on the streets raking rocks and other
wise repairing damage sustained dur
ing the flood. There is now a general
demand that the system of working
the prisoners be continued, and that
they be required to clean the streets.
IF the city would only feed its
prisoners all the time and require
them to work. the cutters along Main
and Court streets would not always
look like the back yard of some Dago
peanut stand" said a man yesterday,
as he gazed at the accumulated rub
bish on the west side of Main street
He also declared that frequent street
cleaning in the summer time especial
| ly, would abate much of the stencil
that arises during the warm weather
months.
The prisoners from the city jail dc
not object to working, as they are fec
when they work, escape with shorter
terms, and do not have to lay around
inside the unhealthful old Jail.

not be required to prove more than one
years residence within the United States
previous to his application to become
such citizen; and the Court admitting
such alien shall, in addition to such
proof of residence and good moral char-
acter, as now provided by law, be satis-
fed by competent proof of such persons
having been honorably discharged from

For All, Instead of the Few.

Editor National Tribune: I have taxi

not do without it, but in reading the
letters of the comrades, together with
the resolutions of the different organ-
izations, L do not think any one has
exactly hit the mark of pension legisla-
ton. 1t is a very difficult and complex
question. All soldiers who served any
length of time, from three years to three
days, have a pensionable status and il
they did their duty should be treated
alike, for the short-term men mighs
have served longer if the war had con-
tinued. Great stress is laid on the fact
that as many places as possible in the
Government service are filed by vet
Grams. This is commendable, but the
average soldier gets no benefit from 1t.
Then, do not see why the ex-prisoners
of war should have special legislation,
simply because they We're made prison.
ers. In the lively scenes of war, espe-
cially at its close, they may have been
better off in prison than on the field OF
battle, for thousands and thousands Of
those who were not prisoners lost their
lives. I admit that the prisoners had
great privations, but such is war from
start to finish. Then, again. the Ser
vice Pension bill is urged to the exclu-
sion of all others. The Presidents Age
Order has settled that, for there are not
many left under the age of 50. What Z
should consider justice to all classes OF
civil war veterans would be to raise all
pensions to S24 per month. This fs
simple justice, and would satisfy all
reasonable old soldiers, including ex-
prisoners of war. 1 think L can afford
to say what l have written, for I was
about an average age, nearly .2S, when
enlisted, and I served three years, or
till the end of the war. Let Congress
