sion will be charged but silver offer

Mr.. Fred Hendley and Mr.. G. W..
Brown, were in town from Pendleton
Monday. Mr.. Brown is republican
candidate, subject to the primary vote,
for the Office of sheriff, while it is
understood that Mr.. Hendley wants
the recorders Office.
Tomorrow the Umatilla county teach
er's institute will convene in this city.
A large number of teachers will be
present and an entertaining and inter
esting program has been formulated.
1t is expected that many patrons of the

East Oregonian.: Mrs. Cornoyer,
wife of Major Cornoyer, has been ill
at the family home on Thorn Hollow,

A number of young people from
Weston attended the dance last even
ing at the Athena opera house. S.
L. Spencer, owner of the opera house,
announces that hereafter dances will
be given on each Friday night, and
will only be changed to other nights
in the week when compelled to do so
to make dates for shows.
Stockmen welcome the change to
warmer weather. Stock cattle in this
vicinity have wintered badly, owing
to the fact that they entered the win
ter months in poor condition, caused
by the extraordinary short fall range.
The excessive moisture absorbed by
the soil this winter gives bright pros
poets for a good spring and summer
range.

There are sixty thousand Japanese in
these islands. They support several
daily, and a number of weekly papers
1t cannot fail to be of public interest to
the English-speaking element of the
population to know what the Japanese
are thinking about public matters, es-
pecially those that concern themselves,
and what views are promulgated
among them by their papers. With this
end in view The Star has from time to
time reproduced articles appearing in
Japanese papers. 1t was in pursuance
of this policy that an article appearing
in the Daily ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Chro-
nicle concerning the fumigation OF con-
signments of rice, was published. 1t
was published to show the ideas that
are being spread among the Japanese
concerning it, and not as indicating
either the purpose or efficiency Of the
fumigation.
