There seems to be division of sem

SPENCER CAME THROUGH.
Man Who Appropriated Jerry st. Dcn-
mis- Whisky and Barley.

John Spencer came through" all
right, says the Athena Press. Yester-
day he came into Justice Chamber
lain's office without official escort
and gave himself up. He did this of
his own accord and free will, though
it is said Officer Smith had been hunt
ing him with lantern at night and
once got close enough to his where
abouts to capture his hat.
Spencer's trouble began Monday
night. He was drunk, and meeting
Jerry st. Dennis in the same condi-
ton on the road south of town, he
held St Dennis up and relieved him
of bottle OF whisky and three sacks
of barley. 1t is presumed that II st.
Dennis had had a load of hay in his
possession at the time, Spencer would
have made a houl at that. too. He
took the barley to Bushman's place.
The grain is there yet, but the sup
position is that Mr.. Spencer drank the
whisky.
Yesterday st. Dennis was in no
condition to appear in court against
Spencer, and Justice Chamberlain let
him so on his own recognizance until
further notice.

FAIR
AMONG THE BEST
TEUTSCH COMPARES WITH
OTHERS IN THE NORTHWEST.
Neither Walla Walla Nor Lewiston
Were as Successful i'm the Same
Sense as the Third Oregon District
Fair-The Racing Was the Pri-
mary Attraction Elsewhere, and
Otherwise They Were Not so At
tractive.

After having attended the fairs at
Walla Walla, Spokane and Lewiston,
Lee Teutsch, of the local fair COM
mission, has returned well satisfied
with the comparison between those
gatherings and the one recently held
here. While the Walla walla, Spo-
kane and Lewiston fairs were larger
than ours, he declares that in many
ways the Umatilla- Morrow fair was
more satisfactory.
"At none of the three fairs which
we visited did the people have as en-
joyable a time socially as they did in
Pendleton. At all three places the
racing was the big attraction, and it
overshadowed the other features of
the fair. 1t cost more to attend their
fairs and generally the grounds were
so remotely situated that attendance
was inconvenient. At Spokane there
was always a wild rush for the street
cars as soon as the races were over.
In Lewiston the grounds are on the
Charleston side. and the fair was not
open in the evening at ALL as there
are no electric lights in that section
of the city. The bands at Spokane
and Lewiston We're far from being as
good as the one we had, though in this
regard Walla Walla Jared better, as
they also had De Caprio.
while the races draw certain
classes of outside people to a fair, 1t
requires much more money to handle
fair where they have them, and for
Pendleton I believe 1t would be better
to leave them out. We can have a
good fair without them by enlarging
our pavilion and arranging for more
attractions next time"

PECULIAR MINERAL UNCOVERED
S. B. Neil of Camas Prairie VIII Have
Samples Analyze1.

S. r. Neill of Camas Prairie, has
discovered deposits of unknown extent
upon his place, of n substance called
chalk" and magnesia. 1t was uncov-
cred by the uprooting of a large tree
by storm, the mineral being found
in an irregular ledge over which the
tree grew in the surface SOIL The
mineral Itself is as light as pumice
stone, nearly white, but with a brown
ish-yellow tinge. 1t tastes exactly like
magnesia and the grain" is as fine
as that of a cake of pressed flour of
the highest grade.
Mr.. Neil will send away samples
for analysis and Identification, per-
haps to the State university and the
state Agricultural college. The pieces
torn out by the uprooted tree were all
the way in size from a grain of corn
to as large as tea kettle, and appar-
emily were broken or torn off a con-
tinuous body of the same material.

ERROR AS TO PRICE OF HOGS.
Under No Circumstances Is Cents
Paid for Hogs.

Local purchasers of meat on the
hoof call attention to slaring but
perhaps unintentional error which ap-
peared in a recent issue or the morn
ing paper stating that fat hogs were
bringing, in this place, delivered, .
cents per pound. Buyers state that
under no circumstances are live hogs
bringing more than 7A cents, and
when that figure is paid it is for some
especial reason known only to the
parties to the transaction. The top
of the regular market is I cents, and
many fine hogs are selling and being
contracted for now, so says H. W.
Schwarz of Schwarz & Greulich, at
6A cents.
