NDORSES THE FAIR.
c. +. Van De Water Tells of WaIla
Walla's Experience.

For eight years the Walla Walla
fruit fair was a decided success. II
paid all its bills, paid wages to every
body who worked for 1t, brought from
1900 to 2SOO people into Walla walla
each week by rail, to say nothing OF
throngs which drove in by team from
the surrounding country and served
to advertise Walla Walla more intel
ligently and successfully than any at
traction ever offered by that city,
said Charles +. Van De Water, tray
cling solicitor for the o. r. & n. COM
pany. who was formerly connected
with the Walla Walla fruit fair.
Mr.. Van De Water is enthusiastic
over the prospects for an agricultural
fair in this city. He believes that 1t
can be made a brilliant success. The
county is large enough and product
i've enough to support such a fair.
The products are so varied that an at
tractive exhibit can be made in all
lines, and he feels that the business
men and farmers of the county can
do nothing that would be of more
benefit in the way of advertising the
county than to hold 10 days agri-
cultural fair.
The success of the Walla Walla
fruit fair with which he was promi-
nently connected, makes him know
that such things can be profitable and
entertaining if conducted along right
lines.
Pendleton is a progressive and up
to-date city, is surrounded by a rich
agricultural and livestock country and
can hold a successful fair if the right
spirit is manifested by the farmers
who must necessarily cooperate with
the business men in making the fair
go.
In Walla Walla the city had the
hearty cooperation of the farmers
Everybody worked for the fruit fair
Everybody brought in exhibits.
Everybody helped make it a success
Mr.. Van De Water believes that the
same spirit should be shown here,
and hopes to see Pendleton organize
a permanent society and hold a fair
each year.
AS long as Walla Walla's fruit fair
was a feature of the year, that city
was thoroughly advertised and hun
dreds of strangers came from every
portion of the country to see the dis
play and view the country from which
the products came.
Such results would follow a good
fair here, he believes.

Now that the paving contract has
been let, the next step on the part
/ of the city is to assess the cost of
paving against the abutting property.
Last night City Attorney McCourt said
he had engaged Geary Kimbrell to
make the necessary calculations in or
der to apportion the cost among the
various owners. Under the charter,
each owner is required to pay for the
cost Of all Improvement in front of
his property. Since this is the case
the owners on lower Main street will
have to pay more for the sewer than
those farther from the river, as the
pipe is to be larger at the lower end.
1t will require several days for Mr..
Kimbrell to finish the work of ap-
portioning the cost, and report will
be made at the next council meeting.
After the same has been adopted
property owners desiring to secure
time for payment of their assessment
must file a statement to that effect
with the recorder within 10 days after
the publication of the assessment. In
the state law making the bond issue
possible. it says:
such written applications shall
state that the said applicant and prop
erty owner does thereby waive all ir-
regularities or defects, judictional or
otherwise. in the proceedings to inn
prove the street or lay the sewer for
which said assessment is levied, and
for the apportionment of the cost
therefor. Said application shall con-
tain provision that the said appli-
cant and property owner agrees to
pay said assessment in 10 annual in
stallments, with interest at the same
rate on all of said assessments which
have not been paid, as that expressed
in the bonds issued to pay for such
improvements"
BY the terms of another state law
property owners are permitted to pay
off the liens for improvements after
one year by the payment of the total
amount and interest to that time. 1t
is understood that the bonds to be
issued will bear 6 per cent interest.
Finish in Three Months.
By the terms of the contract made
with the Warren Construction COM
pany, the work of paving is to COM
mence within 10 days and is to be
finished within 90 days. According
to Judge Lowell, the company is pre-
pared to ship its machinery here at
once and will do so. After the ma
chinery is on the ground it is said the
paving may be done in half the time
allowed by the contract.
The bond given by the Warren
company is for the sum of s105,76O,
twice the contract price, and is furn-
ished by the Fidelity Guarantee &
Trust cnmnanY

"DRY" IN EUGENE.

Prohibition Awakens the Muse in
Lane County.
Prohibition, which went into effect
in Lane county on July l. awakened
the muse in the office of the Eugene
Register, which composed The folleW-
ing dry p0em, in a poetic 9utburst
on the subject:
I dreamed ! dwelt on an isle of
cracked ice,
In the midst of lake of cham
pagne,
Where bloomed the min. julip in
meadows II g;een,
II showers of lithil rain.
1 reclined on a divan of lager beer
ioam
With pillow of froth for my head
While the spray from a fountain of
sparkling gin fizz
Descended like dew on my head.
From far-away mountains of crystal
line ice,
\ zephyr refreshing and cool
Came waiting the incense of sweet
muscatel,
That sparkled in many a pool.
Ny senses were soothed by the soft
purling song
OF a brooklet of pousse cafe
That rippled along over pebbles OF
snow,
To river of absinthe frappe.
Then, lulled by the music Of tinkling
oglass
From the schooners that dance on
the deep
deamily slipped high ball or two,
And languidly floated to sleep.
And then-I awokeSwith a shake
and a shock,
Twas the morning of July the First
The saloons were tight closed in every
block,
Not a place where l could slacken
my thirst.

BY the election last evening of
Prof. Chester X. Fletcher. Of Pacific
university, to be instructor in modern
languages, the teaching force of PEN
dleton academy for the coming year
was completed
The faculty now consists of DIR. W.
II. Bleakney principals; Prof. f. X.
Noordhoff, assistant principals; Miss
Alice Van Nuys and Prof. Chester X.
Fletcher. 1t is possible that a music
teacher will be added to the force,
but arrangements are not definite vet.
Prof. Fletcher, the new instructor
in modern languages, is a graduate
of Pacific university at Forest Grove
and is an athlete of considerable
prominence in western Oregon. He
teaches German, French and Spanish
and will have charge of this depart
ment in the academy. He takes the
place of Miss Bess Craig, who resigned
to go east at the end of the school
year just closed. She taught only
French and German, however, and
the addition of Spanish to the course
makes it especially attractive.
Prof. Fletcher has had excellent
training in Spanish and will be able
to give thorough instruction in this
language. There is a large demand
for the Spanish language on account
of the sharp demand for Spanish
speaking Americans in commercial
and educational lines in the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and other Spanish
speaking countries.
A large class in Spanish is assured
and this department will be highly
appreciated in this section of the
country. Pendleton academy is the
first institution in eastern Oregon to
supply a Spanish teacher.

VIII Raise English WaInuts.

Prof. e. B. Conklin of Ontario, who
was in the city yesterday on his way
home from Salem, says he will plant
100 first grade English walnuts on his
ontario farm next fall. The soil and
climate In that section Of the country
are highly adapted to walnuts and the
demand for first grade nuts is in
creasing all the time. The nut groves
Of California are not bearing as they
formerly did and many Of them are
run down and infested with pests un-
til the supply is not nearly so good as
it was a few years ago. He believes
the sandy soil of Umatilla county will
produce a fine quality of walnut, and
wonders that some OF the farmers In
the irrigated district do not begin nut
growing.

ital and they will be a great addition
to the gathering in the Idaho capital
on the occasion of the irrigation
gathering.

Why You Should
Use Strong Coffee

A cup OF black coffee after
meals prevents unnatural fer
mentation and allows digestion
to proceed.
Strong coffee is much better
for one than weak coffee, be-
cause strong coffee is antiseptic,
a deodorizer, disinfectant and
an antidote to many poisons.
Weak coffee will ferment and
prevent the digestion of other
foods with which it is mixed in
the stomach and produce gas
and flatulency.
Our "Climax" Blend Coffee,
made at full strength, may be
diluted after il is made, and
will prove less injurious than
weak boiled coffee, as boiling
draws out the fixed oil and it
is the oil that does the harm.
"ClimaN" Blend costs only 25
cents per pound. Fresh roasted,
and once tried--always used.
Valuable premiums with each
purchase.
