ONLY DEMOCRAT ELECTED
Lane County Official Who Has Dis
tinction of Being Popular.

Sheriff Fred Fiske, of Lane county,
who visited college chums in Athena
last week, has the distinction of being
competent and popular Official.
He was the only democrat elected to
office in his county in the recent
election.
Sheriff Fiske is now serving his
third term as sheriff of Lane county.
After leaving the State University
at Eugene, finishing school with M. L.
Watts and B. B. Richards of this
city, he was appointed chief deputy
in the sheriff's Office. Soon after the
sheriff was killed in making the arrest
of desperate character and Frank
was appointed sheriff by the county
court. He completed the term and
has been elected twice.
He is considered to be one of the
most efficient officers in the state and
is to Lane county, all that "Till"
Taylor is to Umatilla. He has effect
ed some notable arrests of desperate
criminals. One in particular, was
that of Northern Pacific railway
robber, who was taken by Fiske in a
crowded car some months after the
robbery. Another arrest Of Importance
was made by him few days ago when
he captured the two boys who muir
dered old man Powell, near Drain.

HELIX WORKS HER MIGRANTS
New Marshal Has Two Men at Work
On the Streets.

Helix is becoming metropolitan.
She has three new ordinances, which
are Of vital Importance to the town.
and she is paying $h5 per month to a
new city marshal, who seems to be
lining out to enforce them. One of
the new ordinances which has just
gone into effect relates to the vag-
rants, drunks and disorderly persons.
This is the one which appears to be the
favorite of the new marshal, who is
a son of DIR. Griswold of Helix.
Marshal Griswold started in to earn
his salary by enforcing the vagrant
ordinance, and as result he is herd
ing two men, who are doing time on
the streets. One of them is Arch
Huson. who it is said by the citizens
of Helix, is ripe and mellow candi-
date for the whipping post. All that
has saved him from it in the past is
the evidence of his wife, who, SO it is
alleged. refuses to prosecute. Accord
ing to neighbors, Huson, when drunk
is quarrelsome, abuses his wife to the
extent of striking her, and otherwise
deports himself in shameful and dis
orderly manner.

CATTLE MAY RUN SHORT
Market Estimate of supply Of Bee
STUFF from the Ranges.

There Is considerable speculation as
to the probable size of the run Of the
western cattle this year, opinions be-
ing as varied as are the conditions in
the section from which the opinions
come. 1t seems to be the general be-
lief that the available supply is hardly
as iarge as last year,as conditions have
not been favorable for breeding mp
and increasing the herds, but in the
absence of specific or reliable infor-
nation the shortage, if there is a
shortage, can only be guessed at.
A big factor in the size of the run
will be the price. There is no doubt
that with anything like good prices
this fall many men will make strong
effort to close out their herds and
quit the business. They are practi-
cally forced to this source by the
encroachments of the settlers who are
taking up the good range in increased
numbers each year. There is no long
er any open range to speak of and the
stockmen are naturally having some
difficulty in adjusting themselves TO
the changed conditions,
Should prices for the season prove
satisfactory there will be as heavy a
run of cattle as last year, but it will
be among the last of the big runs of
western rangers and next year there
will be shortage that will be felt.

EX-GOVERNOR AND ASSESSOR
Lively Tilt In Berryman's Office at
Walla Walla.

The county assessors Office was the
scene of lively set-to the other morn
ing between Ex-Governor Miles 9.
Moore and County Assessor Bergman.
Reports the Evening Bulletin. The
argument came up over the story
published in the Statesman which
tried to mislead the public regarding
the assessment paid by Ex-Governor
Moore, and Bergman was accused of
giving out the figures, together with
wrong Interpretation Of Governor
Moore's statements. The lie was
passed and Governor Moore called
Bergman self confessed thief. In
the published story yesterday Berry
man was quoted as stating that Gov
ernor Moore had refused to sign the
assessment detail sheets and that was
all there was to il" Governor Moore
told the Assessor that he had not
signed the sheet as he wished to look
up some of his personal property and
see that no mistake had been made
before he took oath. This was agreed
to, but the interview in the Statesman
put him in an entirely different light.
Governor Moore took Bergman to
task for his statements and some
warm words were passed during the
interview.

PENDLETON TO HAVE FAIR
County Court Gives $1,000 Towards
Proposed Project.

The Umatilla County Court has ap
propriated $1,000 to be turned over to
the District Fair Association to be ex-
pended in providing county exhibit
at the fair which is to be held in PEN
dleton September "a to 30. This makes
total of $25O0 that is now available.
The appropriation by the County
Court was made possible by the act
of the 1908 Legislature, which gives
the county courts authority to appro-
pirate sum of money, not to exceed
$40, 900, each year out OF the general
county fund for the purpose of adver-
tising the resources Of the county and
making exhibits of the same at county,
state and district fairs.
The application for the $1,000 appro-
priation was made to the court by the
executive committee Of the fair com
mission, and after carefully consider
ing the matter, and consulting as
many of the large taxpayers in differ
ent parts Of the county as possible, the
county judge and commissioners de-
cided that it was for the best interests
Of the county to make the appropria-
ton.
If this action had not been taken
by the commissioners there was danger
Of the enterprise falling through. aud

TO FIGHT DIRECT PRIMARY
Tacoma Boss Starts Fight Under Guise
of Attorney Wilson.

The Walla Walla Bulletin gives out
the information that the Crocker ma
chine is preparing to fight the move
ment to secnre the direct primary law
in the state of Washington and says
it is foreoasted by the attitude of the
Daily Union. In leading editorial
the Union makes it clear that the
bosses do not propose 10 allow the di
rect primary chance without put
ting up fight against it.
The Union is recognized as "speak-
ing by the card" on political matters
and its utterances are not the express
sions or sentiments of Individual
writers, but the reflections of the
wishes of the machine. which it rep
Iesents. Crocker is known to be re-
sponsible for the policy of the paper
to the extent of employing its editor
in opposition to the wishes of the own
er of the paper, Senator Ankeny, and
therefore what the Uuion says bears
the stamp of his authority.

.|NVENTS HARVESTER
Claim New Machine Is Lighter
With Great Improvements.
MOSCOW MEN ERECT A PLANT
Cost Of Invention Is Comparatively
Small and But Two Men and
Four Horses are Required.

After more than two years of hard
labor and experiments. during which
there were repeated setbacks which
would have discouraged the average
man, A. Anderson and N. Quesnell of
Moscow, Idaho, have sufficiently per-
fected their new combined harvester
that experienced farmers who wit
messed the trials this afternoon declare
that the implement world will be
revolutionized. 1t was announced by
the inventors that their success had
been SO gratifying that they would go
about the preliminary details for the
establishment in Moscow of factory,
the structure and necessary machir-
cry to cost in the neighborhood of
$40, 900.
The new combine harvester does the
cutting, threshing and sacking and
does away with the binder now in
general use. The machine can be
placed on the market for $7O0, while
the present harvesting machine costs
$4,000. The present harvesters re-
quire from SO to 40 horses to operate
them, and the new Anderson-Q -Quesnell
is worked nicely with four horses.
But two men are needed on the ma
chine, instead of six or eight. One is
the driver and the other is the sacker.
The new ma shine is simple enough
in every particular There are no
bulky pieces of machinery and all of
the workings are open. AS the reaper
mows down the standing grain it is
carried on the table and sent through
three tanners, and in the experiments
this afternoon the wheat was surpris-
ingly clean. jerome Day, million
aire mining man, who made his mon
ey in the famous Hercules mine, came
forward with the funds necessary.
The experiment this afternoon was
witnessed by many of the prominent
farmers of this section of the Inland
Empire.
Everything went along nicely and
all we will require now is the adjust
ment of the machinery" said Mr..
Anderson. ''The bearings are some
what crude, but the machine goes
smoothly and has convinced us of its
practicability. 1t weighs only about
one-fifth as much as the ordinary com

Black Clowds Lurid With
Sheets OF Lightning.
FIERCE WIND ANC COOL RAIN
On Reservation Grain Is Reported to
Be blown Down Where
Straw Was Rank.

Chain lightning and unclaimed
lightning cavorted in all sorts Of IL
luminatiye capers in this vicinity Sun
day night. Rain fell in torrents, the
wind blew and the electric lights went
out, It was the most severe electric
storm of the season, and many say
that they felt the effects of the electric
waves.
No damage was done in this vicinity
from t5e lightning bolts, but wind
end rain was responsible for standing
grain going down to some extent in
the fields on the reservation near
town. 1t is said that some fields
will necessarily have to be
cut one way in harvesting, as re-
suit of the grain being down.
Prior to the storm one of the hot
test days Of the season was expeiienc-
ed. the humidity being something ter
rible. After the storm, the temperature
fell rapidly, and relief was felt at
once.
Men employed in the harvest fields
had begun to feel the effects of the
heat, and in many instances sickness
was i'll evidence, but now that the
weather is cooler, the work will be
carried on under more favorable con-
ditions.
Owing to the dampness, threshing
was dispensed with all day yesterday.
Many teams were put to hauling
wheat in the afternoon, but the great
est majority of harvest hands had
nothing to do and spent the day in
town. The streets presented lively
appearance. While there was consider
able drinking going on, good order
prevailed, only one arrest being made.

bined harvester, cuts ten feet and re-
quires but four horses to snake it along
through the grain. 1t is estimated
that four to six horses will cut about
30 acres day and thresh and sack the
grain with the aid of two men,
In this machine the manufacturers
were aided by the plans prepared by
E. Coburn of Pullman, young man
who recently graduated from the me-
ohanical department of the Washing
ton State college. The machine prom
ises to revolutionize harvesting in the
Palouse country. One fine feature
that adapts 1t particularly to this
country is that it has tipping device
by which the platform can be kept on
level on a hillside that has slope
of 35 degrees.

MET AFTER TWENTY YEARS
Harvesters. Recognize in Each Other
Brothers Of Long Separation.

- .
Yesterday morning rather pathetic
scene was enacted on Main Street in
front of one of the saloons. Two har-
vesters, one clean and healthy looking,
the other palsied and bloated by drink,
met and recognized each other as broth
ers after separation of twenty years.
The family home is at Boise, Idaho.
Twenty years ago the younger brother
left home and for years all trace of
him was lost, and recently he was
reported dead in Kansas. He had
met with the under-side of the world,
mingled with it, and his appearance
would indicate that it had been the
worse for him.
There was nothing in him that be-
spoke the boy who left his home. The
change was so great that the brother
had difficulty in identifying him,
and would never have known him
had not the former come forward and
made himself known.
The meeting over, the two sat down
together. Twas then the pathetic
scene was enacted. Tears rolled down
the cheeks of the wayward one and as
sobs shook his frame, it was easy to
see that he was overwhelmed with a
flood of regret and repentonce at the
life he had led. The other stood aside,
and in silence shared in the grief of
bis kinsman.
The brothers are employed in the Tar
vest fields of this vicinity though in
different crews.

Combine Demolished.

serious runaway with his combined
harvester team Saturday afternoon
just as be was about to unhitch, re-
ports the Herald. The team ran un-
til they piled the machine up in a
ditch without injury to man or horse,
but the machine was quite BADLY dam
aged. It will be necessary to send
to Stockton, Calf, after some of
the repairs. especially the cylinder,
which was thrown clear out of the
machine. II will be several days be-
fore he will be ready to continue OPP
erations, and in the meantime he has
put bis teams to hauling grain.

WANTS THE CORRECT pHRAslHo
Man 10 Puzzled Over the Right Way
to Ask for Liver.

Il wish" said the chronic fault
finder. that butchers would hit upon
sorue uniform rule for writing out
their notices OF calls liver. The pres
ent diversity of styles is embarrass-
ing, and apparently convicts a fellow
OF grammatical error every time he
buys a pound of liver. Some shops
say they have 'calfs liver for sale.
others make a speciality of calves
liver, while still others with finer
regard for singular and plural num-
bers call attention to their excellent
calves livers.' One butcher in Co
lumbus avenue goes so far as TO ad-
vertise 'calfs livers,' but unless that
sign is misleading the animals he
handles must be freaks. therefore
they need not be considered. What
l want TO know is, What is the gram
matical rule in regard TO this table
delieacy? II want more liver than
one calf can supply should I plural
ize both terms and ask for calves
livers'? New York Globe.
