WOOD SATURATED WITH FAME
Plants Himself in Front of Weston's
Exhibit and Is SIT"

Weston's exhibit at the county fair
is very attractive and INSTRUCT We
one. but fair visitors ON Wednesday
had hard time in getting view Of
the Normal towns products--except
one, which stood out in bold relief
and was the principal asset of the
Weston exhibit, for that day at least.
Reference is made to certain in
dividual, who, surfeited with egotism
of the worst aud most pronounced
type, is forever making himself OBJ
noxious in his consuming desire for
notoriety. This emblem of ''wood-
be"-this tattered remnant of "has-
been,' if you please-left the vile
sanctum of the Weston Leader office
Wednesday and boarded the excursion
for Pendleton.
When the train backed on the side
track at the Athena station to pick up
the Press man and his special Car the
discomforture of Weston's ragtime
editor was at once noted. ''Doc"
O'Harra says the colonel's legs quaked
like aspen leaves. His face, distorted
with abject fear, assumed an ashen
hue, and leaving his seat he went into
the vestibule. There he remained until
the train reached Pendleton, and
O'Harra will take an oath that Wood
had the key in his pocket
From the train he shot into the big
| pavilion, where De Caprio's band
music had the effect of soothing--not
his savage breast-but his nerves, and
he planted himself in front of the
Weston booth and ogled for notoriety.
He achieved it in all kinds of chunks
aud quantities.
"Oh, what nice squash !" ex-
claimed country maid, whose eye
sight surveyed row of vegetables,
which the colonel's bulky form could
not wholly obscure from view. Her
mother, good old soul, was near sight
ed aud wore glasses. Wood, swelled
up like a toad, took off his hat in an
awkward acknowledgment of the girl s
expressed admiration for the squash.
The dear old lady took step forward
aud placing her hand on the colonel's
Uranium, ran her fingers through his
hair and remarked: "Wby, no, Re.
bekah dear. This is cocoanut with
a few wisps of hair on it! From
these two depressions (placiug her
fingers on the colonel's eyes) the ma.
tives extract the milky fluid from
the nut, which they use for refresh
ments, much the same as the Germans
| do beer.n
OF course laughter ran riot through
out the pavilion. The old lady, firm
in her convictions and not in the leas
perturbed remarked, well, it's so
and to prove it il someone will lent
me penknife I'll just tap it anC
show you allP'

pany, eloquently appeals to fair visit
ors, who always stop to run their
fingers through the plump grains OF
60 bushel wheat which is convenient
ly displayed in two open sacks. The
flour and cereal display elicits favor
able mention from all who see it.
The livestock department is one of
the most prominent features of the
fair. In it are to be seen some of the
best stock in the Northwest. Minor of
Heppner, is there with his famous
herd of Shorthorns, and near it is
quartered George Linsner's beautiful
Herefords. Ruby's imported stations,
the herd of jacks, Shetland ponies,
hogs and sheep complete the live stock
exhibit. Poultry is exhibited in pro-
fusion. Art has not been overlooked,
aud one of the most attractive aud
interesting exhibits is that made by
Major Lee Moorehouse, whose clever
work with Indian pictures has made
him nationally famous as a photo
grapher. His booth is continually
filled wi b people, all of whom ad-
mire his pictures and art collections of
Indian relics.

FELL TO HIS DEATH
Aged Man Goes Over Cliff On
Columbia River.
WAS FISHING NEAR WALLuLA
Was Missed By Party of Friends Who
Searching Found Him Dead at
Bottom OF Cliff.

James Brown, of Rock Falls, Ill.
was instantly killed by falling down
two hundred foot preoipice near Wal
lula Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Brown, who is 81 years of age,
in company with his son in law, Ed
Latimer, of Wallula, and two grand
sous started on fishing trip along
the Columbia, seven miles from Wal
lula. Much of the trail was over
rugged rocks and sheer bluffs many
feet in height and the path in several
places was very narrow.
The party became separated and
finally the old gentleman was missed.
Thorough search was made and finally
fishing rod was discovered on the
rocks fully hundred feet below the
trail. In order to reach the spot the
party had to go around the bluff a
distance of half mile. AT the bot
tom of the cliff Mr.. Browns dead
body was found. Although the
corpse was not mashed, the head was
bruised and bleeding and the arms
were slightly lacerated.
Mr.. Brown leaves a wife and three
children in Rock Falls, Illinois, be-
sides daughter, Mrs. E. Latimer, of
Wallula. The old gentleman who
had been visiting relatives, had in
tended to start home Wednesday.

IT WILL Be WELL HEATED
Funds Secured to Purchase Fuel for
Use at Baptist Church.

''The little church on the conner
will be warm this winter" said Rev.
Geo. T. Ellis, pastor of the Athena
Baptist church, while in the Press
Office yesterday morning.
"Last Sunday after the services, l
informed the congregation that our
church would soon need to be heated,
and that it would be good plan to
lay in our winters supply of fuel.

uals. said in this instance / expect

that would not ask the women to
contribute toward the purchase of
it."
That Rev. Ellis was successful in
securing the fuel funds from men only
was verified by long list of cash do.

AT THE PENDLETON FAIR
Creditable Exhibit of Grain, Fruit,
Livestock and Fowls.

Considering thatit is the first ex-
hibltion given by the Third Eastern
Oregon District Agricultural Society,
the Pendleton fair is very much of a
success.
The exhibits of grain, fruits, live
stock and poultry are much better
than one would suppose when the short
time in which the displays were made
up, is considered.
The Umatilla county exhibit, of
course, leads all Others. for the reason
that the best the county affords is to
be seen in it. Milton and Freewater
comes next with a fine display of fruit
and vegetables and Athena and Weston
are creditably represented, though not
on such an extensive scale as Milton
and Freewater.

Largest Sale of Wheat.

Il. J. Tweedy, the pioneer reserva-
tion farmer, made what is thought to
be the largest individual sale Of
wheat effected in this county this
year. He sold to the Pacific Elevator
company, through Will Moore. agent
at this place, $4,000 bushels of wheat,
the entire crop threshed by Mr..
Tweedy this year. The crop was sold
early in the year but the transfer has
just been made. This is less than the
amount sold by Mr.. Tweedy last year,
his 1905 crop amounting to about 5O,-
900 bushels. However, he will not
farm SO extensively hereafter, and will
perhaps retire entirely from the farns,
ing industry in this county. EAST

Baker City Is Latest Field
for Operations.
COUNTERFEITER WHO ESCAPED
His Scheme Which Was Successful Is
to Raise 81 Silver Certificates
to $40 Denomination.

A report from Baker City says that
Jack Mcintyre, the escaped counter
feiter, is in the immediate vicinity
of Baker City and boldly worked his
game in that city within the past few
days. The police are making vigor-
ous search for the man.
Eastern Oregon has been flooded
with spurious $40 bills by Mcintyre,
or some of his confederates, and every
day new cases of merchants accepting
them are reported. Two we're passed
in Baker aud it is learned that another
has appeared in Pepdleton, the base of
former operations of the counterfeiter.
When MoIutyre was arrested in
Umatilla county he was turned over
to federal deputy marshal. While
the officer and prisoner were making
the trip to Portland Mcintyre made
good his escape by leaping from the
moving train.

Boys Wireless"
a Success.

schoolboys in different parts of New
England have been making experiments
in wireless telegraphy with such sue
cess that they have been causing the
government more or less trouble. Not
long age several of them set up APP
paratus at Newport, and were taking
messages sent from government stations
This week the operators at the Charles
town navy yard found difficulty in get
ting into communication with the Ports
mouth yard by wireless. They got in
stead strange messages. Investigation
showed that these messages. were be-
ing exchanged between Walter Cady
and Duncan Wright, two Brookline high
school boys, who lived half mile apart
and had set up wireless stations in their
homes, thru which they communicated
with each other. The interlopers were
discovered thru an entry they had made
on the book at the Charlestown navy
yard some months before. They had
registered their signal without ever
thinking they would be able to use it
in wireless, or at least not for some
time.
