Violent opposition developed to the prop

advocated on the ground that It carried
out n constitutional provision and was
opposed with the argument that 1t vio-

Hardware Dealers Meet.

Q. A. Barrett, the Athena hardware
merchant, was in Pendleton yesterday
where he attended a meeting of the
Umatilla County Hardware Dealers
association. The association was
organized some months ago with the
object of protecting the interests of
all hardware dealers in the county.
The meeting yesterday was the regular
monthly meeting OF the association.
Two matters of Importance came up
for discussion, one relating to insur-
ance rates and the other to the col
lection of accounts. The association
adopted the plan Of insurance fol
lowed by the Inland Empire Associa-
tion of Hardware and Implement
Dealers of Spokane, whereby insur-
ance is obtained at actual cost. In
the matter of book accounts, the as
sociation decided that October be set
aside as collection day. All accounts
not paid on that date will thereafter
draw interest at the rate of per cent.

MOUNTAIN HAY AND LUMBER
Both Commodities Find a Good Mar
ket in Athena.

In addition to the long strings of
teams engaged in hauling wheat to
Athena warehouses, hig loads of bal
ed hay and lumber from Weston
mountain lend no little mite to the
appearance of activity in Athena at
the present time. Athena has long
enjoyed the distinction of being the
store house for this section of the
county, and this distinction is more
pronounced this year than ever.
Weston mountain furnishes the only
locality in Umatilla county where
timothy hay is grown successfully and
with profit to the rancher. This sea
son's crop is above the average and a
good market is found for it in Athena.
The Preston Parton Milling company
of this city is in position to pay the
highest market price for hay and the
company handles the bulk of the pro.
duct coming here.

SHOULD REPAIR SIDEWALKS
Action at Walla Walls Brings to
Mind Conditions Here.

A $4,000 damage suit has been fled
against thecity of Walla Walla, in
the superior court by Anton Kass,
a carpenter and resident of that city.
Kass alleges that on April 8, 1906,
together with a companion he was
walking down South Third street
between Birch and Stahl avenues mad
that when opposite the residence OF
J. f. Hardwick, No.84 on said street,
his companion stepped upon loose
board, causing the same to "bob up
and trip him, where by he sustained
severe and lasting injuries, and that
the sum of 81, 900 is necessary to com
pensate him for the same.
This news item appearing in one oi
the Walla Walla papers, brings fore
IDLY to mind the dilapidated condition
of numerous stretches of sidewalk il
Athena, together with the liability OF
accident and injury, in which event
the city would probably be the de-
fendant in damage suit.
It is never too late--until after al
accident occurs--to mend broken side.

the first exhibition of the Third East

Exhibits are already arriving at

management is fortunate in having
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowman, who had
charge of the Umatilla county exhib-

year, to look after and arrange ex-
hibits of this nature at the Pendleton

building has been secured in which to
properly and artistically arrange the
display of fruit and grain exhibit.
For the industrial aud other exhib-
its, pavilion 100000 feet in dimen
sion is being erected on Main street,
opposite the Bowman hotel. 1t is be-
ing substantially constructed and will
have a heavy canvas roof, thus afford
