ARE FAULTY CONSTRUCTED
Only One Weeder Out of Carload IN
Use Here.


Alex McRae, patentee of the Mo-
Rae Wedding Machine, was in town
yesterday from Wal)a Walla. Mr..
McRae was sorely disappointed that
his wedding machine. manufactured
by the Novelty Machine Works at
Spokane, did not give satisfaction, aud
lays the cause of the machine failing
TO work in the heavy soil of this To-
cality to the faulty construction given
it by the Spokane factory people.
In building his machine Mr.. Nc
Rae adhered strictly to the old fash
ioned drag bar principle, and is san
guine that if the implement had been
given proper construction with heavier
castings and other material, it would
have done the work here as satisfac-
torily and would have met with the
same success and popularity that it has
received in the west and south part of
the county where the soil is not so
heavy to work.
Out of carload put out here this
spring by Mr.. McRae only one ma
chine has proved satisfactory. The
one in use is operated by. Sam Pam
burn, on the reservation, and he is
doing good work with it.

BARNES WILL Be HANGED
Governor Chamberlain Will Not Com
mute His Sentence.

Governor Chamberlain has an
nouncg5 that be will not commute the
sentence OF John q. Barnes, and there
is now DO doubt hnt that the con-
demned man will be hanged at the
state prison. The governor has
thoroughly reviewed the testimony in
the case and is convinced that Barnes
is guilty of the crime charged.
The death sentence was pronounced
upon Barnes for the murder of viii
liam Graham, which occurred in
Douglas county last year. After his
conviction aud sentence a petition was
circulated and presented to the gov
ernor, asking that communion lie
granted. Upon the petition were the
names Of six Of the jurymen who
brought in the verdict of guilty. 1t
now appears that their own affidayits
that they were induced to sign by
each being made to believe all of the
Others had agreed to do likewise.
Barnes had been sentenced to serve
20 years in the penitentiary as PEN
atty for criminal assault committed
upon bis sister, but was pardoned in
1891 by Governor Pennoyer. He had
previously served tenn for larceny.

HE REMOVED THE BRIDDLEs
Example Once Set By Press Man Not
Needed by Baker.

That only the school of experience
educates has again been exempli6ed
IN a most startling and thrilling man
ner.
When the Press man set the example
of removing briddles from horses
geared to vehicle with such dis
astrous results, it was hopefully hoped
that the whole county had been put
next" to such rattlebrained dam
phoollshness. but at least one man
more had to tease the practical side
of experience. And in Conse-
quence, by streak of good luck and
the prompt attention of surgeon, st
Peter was not called upon to pass
him through. d. @. Baker, the we'll
known ranch foreman for NJ. l..
Watts, drove his team out to the
Joseph Ferris place south of town,
and at the cook house, unbriddled his
team, which was hooked up to pair
of doubletrees. From that second
there was something doing and Baker
was in the thick of it all. Over the
field the horses plunged with the un-
fortunate man between them.
When it was over, Mr.. Baker was
found to be in badly bruised condi-
tion. A severe cut over tho left eye
necessitated dressing and everal
stitches by surgeon.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS CONVENE
Convention Will be Held at spokane
Next Week.

A half fare rate to Sponkane has
been made by the railroads to be in
effect next week for the benefit of the
Pacific Northwest convention of COM
mercial clubs held during the Spokane
Interstate fair.
The convention will be held Tues
day and Wednesday, Sept 25 and 26,
and the fair opens Sept. "a, continu-
ing until October g. Never before
have the railroads granted a rate for
the Spokane Interstate fairs for so
wide territory. This halt fare rate
one fare or the round trip--applies
from all points in Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho aud Montana. Some of
the roads have not specified what day
this will be good, but it is certain it
will enable the visitors to reach the
fair on the first day, and to give them
ample time to see everything to be
seen at the Spokane exposition, and
to attend all the meetings of the con-
vention.
No convention ever held in the
facinc NORTHWEST, not even excepting
the very impoEtant meeting of the Ir-
rigation Congress, recently in SEES
sion at Boise, is OF greater value than
the convention to be held in Spokane
two days next week. The shrewdest
business men of this part of the Pa
cific Northwest are planning the pro
gram and propose movement which
will advertise the four states in way
which will rival the greatest advertis-
lug schemes which the Canadian gov.
ernment and the Canadian Pacific
railway has been using to draw people
of the United States into the Alberta
country.
Already many delegates are prom
ised for the convention, assuring the
impoTta Mt meeting desired.

oheial Experiments in seepage.

A. E. Wright and Arthur P. Slower,
in charge of the irrigation expert
ments in Oregon for the department
Of agriculture. have strated series of
interesting experiments in seepage at
Irrigon, Ore. Six pits IL feet across
the top and three feet deep, of circu-
lar form and having the same degree
of incline that is found in the walls
of an irrigation canal, will be built at
Irrigon in the sandy soil which is en-
countered in ditch making III that
district. These pits will have various
kinds of walls, in order to test the
seepage accompanying each kind of
irrigation. The experts will use clay,
straw, oil sand and silt tamped soldly,
in constructing the pits, in order to
ascertain the amount Of seepage from
each of these different substances in
bitches. Wallula Gateway.

ATHENA At THE FAIR.
Principal Exhibitor Will Be
Preston Parton Milling Co.
YORK DELL TO ARRANGE EXHIBIT
Wheat and Mill Products, Athena's
Staple Commodities, Will Be
Attractively Arranged.

Athena will be represented at the
first annual exhibition of the Third
Eastern Oregon District Agricultural
Society in Pendleton next week with
a creditable exhibit. At a special
meeting of the Commercial Associa-
tion last evening, there was but few
members present and no action was
taken regarding Athena making an
exhibit. Everybody busy" was one
excuse heard as reason for no in
terest being taken in the matter.
However, through the enterprising
spirit of D. H. Preston, local man
ager for the Preston -Praton Milling
Co., Athena will be represented, and
represented in a way that will attract
the attention of every person who at
tends the fair.
A corner space 10x10 feet in di-
mensions has been reserved, and York
Dell will arrange the exhibit. Wheat,
grain, flour and cereals, the staple
products of the ''granary of Una
tilia county" will be artistically
arranged by Mr.. Dell.
The walls which will enclose the
Preston Parton exhibit will be of sacks
of Athena wheat, instead of lumber
and other material which is generally
used for such purposes. This will be
out of the ordinary and novel in ap-
pearance.

Have No School House.

w. +. Myers, who resides at Barn
hart, came to Pendleton yesterday to
consult with the county school super
intendeDt relative to the creation of a
school district at Barnhart, says the
Tribune. According to his statement
there is section of territory at Barn
hart four miles square aud contains
from 30 to 40 children of school age
that is not in any district. This state
of affairs has existed for two years,
though most of the pupils have at.
tended school in one or the other Of
the surrounding districts. This terri
tory was formerly included in the
Mckay precinct, but was cut off two
years ago. as Superintendent Welles
was out of town on an official visit to
some of the different schools, Mr..
Myers did not get to see him but will
call again.

POTATOES SCARCE
Only Mountain Ranchers Will
Have a Surplus
TOTAL FAILURE OUT At HELIX
Athena Firm Has Been Shipping
Forty Sacks a Week to
That Place.

Potatoes, from all reports, will be
scarce this fall. In the vicinity of
Athena the crop will not be of any
larger proportions than the amount re-
quired for home consumption, if it
will supply that.
From all indications the only SUI
plus of potatoes in this section of the
county is found on the mountain
ranches, where the crop is expected to
be of the average yield. The potato
acreage there is said to be normal this
year and to that district, more than
any other, localities where the crop is
short must look for supply.
In the Helix neighbor hood, or at
least the greater portion of it, the
potato crop is total failure. Ely 81
Scott, an Athena grocery firm which
handles large quantities of potatoes
and other farm produce, has for some
time been shipping potatoes to Helix
dealers at the rate of fcrty sacks per
week. This firm expects to secure
mountain potatoes almost exclusively
this season, with which to fill orders.

The Ryan Grade Road.

A trip over the Ryan grade road to
the Umatilla river will convince one
that this highway is now in better
condition than it has been aince its
construction, years ago. John Thomp-
son, the we'll known stockman, who
bad supervision of reconstructing the
road, portions of which was totally
destroyed by the flood this spring. has
used every effort to put it in first class
shape. All rock and boulders from
the top to the bottom of the grade
have been removed, aud other per-
manent improvements are noted.
