Mr.. Geer does not need much
introduction to an Oregon audi
ence. While the time was limited,
the speaker launched right off
with enthusiasm and made a good
impression. He said that while
there was evidence Of considerable
hot air, it was some thing that was
necessary. No question or enter
prise could be successfully carried
out without a certain amount Of
the warm atmosphere.
Mr.. Geer referred to the re-
suits accomplished by the Leagues
in the Willamette Valley, and said
that we must have unity of pur-
pose before doing things.
He said that it WAS certainly a
mistaken idea to think that We
could help ourselves by being
jealous of any other district.
That the spirit of rivalry and
jealousy must cease. If other
districts prosper, We will help
share prosperity with them. If he
did not believe in this spirit he
would stay at home and growl.
He stated that Umatilla was
always at the service of Morrow
that we could both prosper. "We
need more people," said Mr.. Geer.
If Oregon was as thickly settled as
MASSACHUSETTS, we would have q
population of 2s,oo0,0oo

tion is the result of cooperation.
The fact that our interests are
identical shows every reason that
we should work together. The

This sounds good because it is
frality.
The Umatilla County Develop
ment League and the Morrow
County Development League were
anited with great enthusiasm.
The bond of good feeling be-
ween Morrow and our sister
county and especially between the
owns of Pendleton and Heppner
has been sealed.

scheduled to arrive at 4 o'clock,
but owing to the time taken up at
the stops at Echo, Herimston,
Umatilla, Irrlgop, lone and Lex
ington where the eXcursionists
were greeted with great enthu'
siasm, the train did not get to
Heppner until $50.
On Tuesday mornings train
from Heppner, Mayor Gillian,
Judge Ayers and a number of
Heppner business men went to
lone, to meet the visitors. At
lone there was a big demonstra-
ton. Fully 500 people turned out
to extend greetings to the people
who were coming with the open
hand of fellowship. The Lesguers
were welcomed at lone by At
torney White. Then were re-
sponses by 7. G. Taylor and H. E.
Willis.
The Eagles band which accom-
panied the Leaguers furnished
music during all Of the stops. In
justice to the band, it is we'll to
say that the Eagles band is good
musical organization and the
musicians were willing and ready
at all times to entertain the people
with their splendid music, notwith-
standing the fact that the weather
was very disagreeable.
Owing to the fact that there was
snow storm late in the afternoon

I of the visitors were entertained
prior to the main meeting at
Roberts hall.
At seven o'clock the Eagles
band started the ball to rolling by
rendering selection on the street,
and soon the streets were crowded
by people on their way to Roberts
hall where 1t had been arranged
for the exercises to take place.
At the hall, even standing room
was not to be found. Every nook
and corner was literally packed
with people.
Judge T. W. Ayers. president OF
the Morrow County League called
the meeting to order, and with a
few appropriate remarks turned
the meeting over to President
Johns of the Umatilla County De-
velopment League.
Mr.. Johns opened the meeting
by stating the object and in few
words made some good points as
to the benefits of proper organiza-
tion and good feeling.
The presidents remarks we're
pleasing and there..was an apparent
ripple OF good humor. He said
that we have accomplished a great
deal if we have united Umatilla
and Morrow counties.
Rev. Joseph Buie offered prayer.
The address of welcome by
Attorney S. E. VanVactor was
we'll received and worthy of the
many compliments rendered the
popular attorney who welcomed
the visitors in such away as to
make every one feel welcome in
reality.
Mr.. VanVactor said in part:
"In welcoming you to Morrow
county today we do so realizing
our inability to express to you the
feeling of welcome with which our
hearts are over pouring, and es.
pecially to you of Umstilla"
"The ties binding us are strong
er than ordinarily exist between
edjoining counties. Morrow to
certain extent is the offspring of
Umatilla. The two constitute
judicial and Legislative district and
the interest of one is the interest
of the other. The institutions
that are ours are yours. Our
progress, our prosperity and our
development materially depend
upon your progress, your prosper
ity ard your development, and
linked together as we are, your
success shall be our success and
your greatness shall be our great
ness" said Mr.. VanVactor.
The speaker referred to the
magical touch of the hand of the
Development League which will
reclaim our vast territory and
supply homes for countless thous-
ands and furnish an abundance for
the keeping Of a mighty popula-
ton"
Mr.. VanNactor was roundly
applsuded.
Ex-Governor 7. T. Geer, now
editor of the Pendleton Trib-
une, was the next speaker in.

DIAMONDS.

IL You Want to Nuke Them, Hero n
the Process Of a,anufncture.
Would you like to know how to man
ufacture diam monds-real diamonds? Ihe
process is somewhat difficult, requiring
time, patience and some outlay Of mon
ey, but then consider the possible re-
suits. The diamond, we know, is SIM
ply carbon In transparent cry ystalline
form It comes Of humble parentage
and Is brother to the lump Of coal.
Unlike easily crystallizable bodies,
carbon Is insoluble in all ordinary SOW
ents, but molten metals will combine
with it. Let the diamond maker choose
iron for a solvent for charcoal, melting
It IN an electric furnace, allowing it to
take UP as much carbon as 1t can-h
other words, saturate Itself with car
bon. The crucible containing the white
hot metal should then be plunged into
bath of molten lead. The result will be
that globules of iron will rise to the
surface Of the lead and are quickly
cooled on the outer surface. Inside the
hard crust the iron remains for some
expands In solidifying the contents OF
these little globules receive a pressure
unattainable by any other means.
When the lead becomes solidified some
bullets Of iron will be found bound up
in the mass. Dissolve with some pow
erful acid first the lead and then the
iron. and resid1s Of carbonaceous
matter will be found to contain tiny
crystals-real diamonds. Any chemist
with well equipped laboratory can
make diamonds In this way, but the
largest Of them will not be more than q
hftieth Of an inch In diameter.

A Light That Failed.

There has been sold by public auc-
ton at the coast signals department
in Paris an old lantern flarelight,
which almost deserved place in the
national museum.
After the downfall Of Napoleon l., al
though he had been Gagged up by the
Powers in Elba-securely, as they
thought-Louis XVIII felt himself
much too near the archdestroyer of
thrones, and had fitted up at the head
of Cape Corsica a powerful light
equipped with reflectors capable of
lighting up the Mediterranean for sew
eral leagues around. One night some
body forgot" to light up that flare
and, by curious coincidence" the
very next morning Bonaparte had
landed in the Gulf of San Juan.
The Hundred Days had begun, and
the light of the Bourbons was doubly
"out." A lantern with such place in
history was worth preserving.

A Glimpse of Barbarism.
The scene of one of the Pujas is a
glimpse of ancient barbarism Around
the image are the PROSTATE suppl
cants, the women praying for male
children and the men asking the ia
vor of the destruction Of their enc
mics. The offerings consist of piles
of fruit and vegetables, bundles Of
cloth, pyramids Of soaked rice, hill
ocks of peas and cocoanuts, and hun
dreds of candles burning in broad
day. On the outer circle dogs sit on
their launches and cats lick their
mustaches at the sight Of the tempt
ing things piled in such profusion.
Clouds of incense smoke drift up
ward and the ground is stained with
the blood of the goats whose heads
have fallen under the sacrificial
sword. Above the bedlam of voices
is heard the metallic crash of huge
bells and the thump of drums. The
goats are beheaded one after the
other by an immense butcher who lie
as black and fierce as the Duke OF
Thunderland. His name is Rama
backward or forward He uses a
fresh sword to dispatch each goat
The idol is twenty feet In height
and is carried to the river bank on

continues. Shouts and songs AND

until the echoes ring with the discord
Finally the unwieldy image is toppled
into the water, and the long orgy Is
brought to an end.
Such idolatrous scenes as this
leave an unpleasant impression on

their CORY executioners, the uncanny
sounds of paganism and the shining
faces of the half-crazed fanatics
