In Illinois educational enterprise takes
a very practical turn. 1t was President
JAMES of the Illinois State University who
recently made the sensible suggestion that
a commission of American educators be
sent to China. 1t is the same university
that supplies speakers for the seed and
soil specials" run over the Burlington and
the Illinois Central lines in Illinois.
The special is a train with two lecture
coaches" a diner and a sleeper. In the
month of February the party travelling in
1t consisted of seven lecturers from the
University of Illinois and four prominent
a~griculturists. The total number of stops
made, from one to four lectures being
given at each, was 230, an average of ten a
day. The largest days attendance was
$500 and the aggregate attendance for the
month was 42,421. Great interest was
manifested by the farmers and 5000 names
have peer added to the mailing list for
bulletins of the State Experiment Station.
The seed and soil special" is doing ex-
cellent work in the interest of scientific
and therefore profitable agriculture in
Illinois.

"Barkis" in Canada.

At a recent session of the Canadian
Parliament a member asked whether
the Government had taken any steps
with a view to the political union Of New
foundland with the Dominion. To this
Sir WILFRIp LAURIER replied:
1.-THE Government of Newfoundland are aware
that we are ready to enter into communication with
them at any time that they choose with q view to
discussing the subject OF coming into conieders-
tlon."
This is an extremely mild expression
Of the Canadian attitude. II Canada
had to-day the opportunity which she
had in 1895 there would be no split on
financial differences as there was then;
but Newfoundland Is worth more now
than she was ten years ago, and her
people are fully ware of the fact. She
has turned her corner since that time,
and railways, improved communications
with the mainland and an influx Of cap
ital for development are giving her an
Importance which increases from year
to year. One evidence of this appears
in her increasing commerce, as shown In
the following comparison:
1903. 1905.
Imports ".... ......."".. s., iss,soi S1O,27s.oOo
Exports ...........,... 6,226,o5s 1O,ee9, 400
Canada, for various reasons, wants
the island in her sisterhood Of provinces,
but if she gets it she will pay the islands
price, and Newfoundland now holds itself
at a premium.

the rapid development OF eastern Or
egon, and calling upon Governor Mead
of Washington, to use his best efforts
to induce the legislature of his state
to cooperate with Oregon in opening
the Columbia river to commerce, in
protecting the fishery interests along
the Columbia river, and in every ef-
fort toward bringing the two states
closer together commercially and fra
tarnally.
After the addresses by the COVER
nors, T. c. Taylor, eX-president of the
oregon senate, called the mock ses.
sion of the legislature to order. Tho
session was begun by the calling of
the roll of members present by Chief
Clerk John McCourt, p representa-
tives and II senators responding to
roll call.
When President Taylor announced
that the receiving of bills was in or.
der, Senator j. n. Whealdon of Was
CO, presented senate bill No. 101, pro,
viding for the extension of the port
age road from the Three Mile rapids
to The palles. The bill was ably
supported by Senator Whealdon, j. n,
Teal of Portland, and Governor Mead
and upon putting the question the bill
was passed.
The discussion brought out some
excellent arguments by the speakers
]. N. Teal making an especially strong
plea for an open river.
Senate bill 103, by Senator Milar-
key, provided for the appropriation
of I,c00,OOO to open the Columbia
river below Portland and was the
cause of much merriment. However
Senator Milarkey took advantage of
the discussion to express in a most
pleasing speech, the appreciation Of
the Multnomah delegation of the eX-
cursion to eastern Oregon and the op.
portunity to become acquainted which
the trip had afforded.
House bill l04, that venerable
"bogy" of the legislative sessions, pro.
viding for the liquid refreshments OF
the members was introduced by R. AL
eXander. member of the "thirt
house." end was the cause of sharp
parliamentary tilts between the men,
bers in the fear that their thirst would
not be fully provided for.
Frank Davey closed the session With
the introduction of bill appropri
ating 100000 for the expenses and
entertainment of the third house"
and after a few serious remarks by
Representative Barrett, of Washing
ton county on the benefits of the ex-
cursion, in which he said that al

RETIREMENT OF BUSINESS.
New Machinery and Larger Quarters
at Pendleton Steam Cleaning and
Dycing Works.

improvements are now being made
at the Pendleton steam cleaning and
dye works by Messrs. Lorimer and
Fell which when completed will en-
able them to handle their business
much better than at present. In the
rear of the old rooms on Alta street
a dyeing room has been constructed
which will be devoted to that class
of work and to securing. The front
room, which is used for tailoring pur-
poses, is also being enlarged, and a
third room between the two will be
taken up by the machinery, which in
cludes boiler, engine and other ap-
pIratus.
E. X. Lorimer is now in Kansas
City upon combined business and
pleasure trip, but is expected home
within a few days. In the meantime
the business is being managed by Mr.
| Fell.

was heard from many of the mem
bers of the legislature, who expressed
themselves upon the subject after in
specting the school.
The people of Weston showed an
excellent spirit in entertaining the
party during its brief stay in the city,
and during the short meeting in the
auditorium, the business men and citi-
zens of Weston filled the room to
overflowing.
President French exhibited in a
practical manner the wide scope of
the territory served by the Weston
Normal by having students from diff
ferent counties and outside staes
stand to be counted separately. In
this demonstration, the members were
convinced that the Weston Normal
was anything but a local school for
Weston and Umatilla county, for al
most every county in the eastern part
of the state was represented, besides
four outside states.
Mock Session and Banquet.
Rare mingling Of rollicking fun,
serious discussion CT grave issues and
hearty goodfellowship was enjoyed al

Net the least object of interest in
the legislative excursion to Walla
Walla yesterday. was Representative
Herman Rothschild, the lone demo-
cratic member of the next house of
representatives in the Oregon legisla-
ture.
Elr. Rothschild arrived In Pendle-
in North Powder and during the
morning spent the time in greeting
old Pendleton friends.
Mr.. Rothschild was formerly res
ident of Pendleton, having been em'
ployed in the mercantile establishment
of Rean Il Rothschild in this city over
90 years ago. The store was located
in the building now occupied by the
Pendleton Drug company and ]. E.
Rean, the we'll known pioneer and
late stock inspector of Umatilla coun-
ty, was senior member of the firm.
At the time Mr.. Rothschild was a
clerk in the store, Joe Connolly, the
we'll known sheepman, then a young
man in his teens, was bookkeeper for
the firm.
Mr.. Rothschild left here in May,
1885. and went to North Powder,
where he engaged in the mercantile
business. He has been located at
that place ever since and now enjoys
large business. For a number of
years he was a partner of Henry Cor
ham at that place, but Of late years
has conducted his business alone.
He has always been prominent in
county politics and has taken consid'
erahle interest in public affairs, but
he accepted the nomination for the
legislature against his will, as he has
never desired office.
Mr.. Rothschild has a genial dispo-
sition ard has a strain of genuine
humor in his makeup and anticipates
considerable fun in the coming ses-
sion of the legislature by reason of his
unique and lonely condition, political
ly, in the house.
However, he is well versed In the
needs of eastern oregon and will be
prepared to assist in making laws foi
the county which he will represent ano
for the entire state.

in which to display his goods and con-
duct his paint and extensive paper
business.

IS BREAKING 4OOO-ACRE RANCH.
Local Lawyer to Farm on Big Scale
in Montana.

A. D. Stillman is now having the
sod broken on his recently purchased
4O00-acre ranch in Montana. He has
several large gang plows operated by
traction engines at work, and 60 acres
a day are being broken. The machin-
cry was shipped to the place over a
now abandoned track of the Northern
Pacific, and the plowing outfit made
three carloads.
The ranch owned by Mr.. Stillman
was formerly swamp land, but was
drained several years ago. 1t has
every indication of being very pro-
ductive and will be seeded to grair
this year. Mr.. Stillman is now in tht
city after having passed several weeks
in personally supervising the work OF
his ranch.
