The Fairmont Conservatory Of Nh
sic made its initiatory performance
last evening at the Normal Audi
forum, under the auspices Of the la

the audience by the performers was
indeed fattering. shaw's orchestra

full selections during the evening. The
orchestra has number of Fairmont's
most talented musicians among its
members and several members from
Warrington. Miss Elsie Fischer, Of
Wheeling, was the soloist and her ricn
soprano voice delighted her hearers.

ceiving a hearty encore. Miss Hazel
Book, of Pennington, rendered num-
Der of selections on the piano Miss
Book is a talented musician and her
efforts last evening brought her great
applause. Prof. Thomas Shaw, who
directed the orchestra, also rendered
a violin solo. Prof. Shaw has played
so often before a Fairmont audience

effort was fully up to the high stand
ard he has set for himself.
Miss Pearl Morgan. young violin

BAKER HAS A KICK.
Wool From Her Territory Going Out
OF Oregon by Way Of The Dailcs.

Advices received yesterday by the
Democrat state that the large wool
clip of Harney and Grant counties is
already rapidly moving out of the
country. but not as formerly by way
of Baker City, says the Baker City
Democrat.
The information adds that the prin-
cipal reason why the traffic has been
diverted is that Shaniko, the terminus
of the Columbia Southern railway,
has been given the same rate as that
applied to The Dalles. of s1.40 per
hundred pounds to Boston, while the
rate from Baker City is 50 per hund-
red.
1t is understood that the Citizens
league will investigate the question as
to why either The Dalles or Shaniko
should be given the advantage of so
cents per hundred on wool to Boston
over Baker City, when the routing of
the wool is made either by Hunting
ton or Spokane.

Last Friday evening Judge Burnett
of Salem, who has been holding court
here in the absence of Judge Benson,
left here in company with Captain o.
c. Applegate and Attorneys Mills and
Rutenic for a visit to the lava beds,
historic since the Modoc war. says the
klamath Falls Express.
He only had two days and half to
give to the trip. and 1t reflects credit
on the local bar that they were able
to make arrangements on a few hours
notice. The judge and party went
from here to Merrill by buggy, Mr..
Tedford making the run from here
to the landing in Whitelake, with his
gasoline launch in four and three
quarter hours. from where 1t was
transferred the same evening by
wagon in Lost river. at Merrill.

For Lutheran College.

II the proper encouragement is
given, the Lutherans will establish a
college in Walla Walla, says the Walla
Walla Statesman. The Washington
district of the church has written to
Secretary Baldwin, of the Walla Walla
Commercial club announcing that
Walla Walla has been selected by the
denomination as the place for the To-
cation of the school. The plan is to
erect a building at first to cost about
$40, 900, and as the conditions warrant
it to increase the size and extent of
the college. The committee asks for
10 acres OF land for site and bonus
of $1,000. The matter will be taken
up at once by the Commercial club.

RUSTLERS ARE PLENTIFUL.
Safe to Turn Horses on the Range
ANYMORE

Safe to Turn Horses on the Range
Anymore.
1T Is simply unsafe to turn horses
on the range any more in eastern
Oregon, on account Of the horse rus
tires" said David Couper, well
known horseman OF Union, who is In
the city.
Everybody In our part Of the
state makes an effort to keep their
horses in pastures and then keep a
close watch on the pastures. The
rustlers drive them to Snake river and
horses disappear in a night, never to
be found again. 1t is thought the
rustlers drive them to Snake rive and
into Idaho, from where they are
shipped east.
"It seems that the stockmen of
Union, Baker, Grant and Umatilla
county could form an organization
which would break up this gang of
thieves. Something must be done or
the stock business will have to be
abandoned in this territory"

while crossing the track freight

instantly stopped and refused to pull

Realizing their danger all three

The hack was smashed to pieces and

1.-TWO hundred thousand dollars
would. believe, be a conservative es-
innate Of the amount of damage done
the fruit along the Columbia and
Snake rivers as far up as Asotin, and
in the Clearwater valley by the March
froSts, and on account of this you
may expect to see fruit. and particu-
larly peaches, advance 25 per cent in
prices" said William L. La Toilette.
the extensive fruitraiser of wawaiaw,
to the Lewiston Tribune.
Mr.. La Toilette arrived in the city
yesterday from Orofino, where he
concluded the purchase through the
chancery court of New Jersey, of a
100 horsepower boiler formerl yown-
ed by the Gold Creek Mining compa-
ny, which has been in the hands of u
receiver for the past four years. Mr..
La Toilette states that the boiler will
be used to furnish power to a pulso-
meter pump which will irrigate the
$50 acres he has in fruit trees.
BY this piece of machinery 1900 gal
Ions of water can be lifted 75 feet
from the river every minute. 1t will
then be placed in a distributing reser-
voir and 5000 feet of five and eight
inch pipes will convey it by gravitation
to the orchards. Mr.. La Toilette es-
Inmates that from all sources, includ-
ing springs. a small pump at pres
ent operating, and Wawawai creek.
1000 to $500 gallons per minute will
be secured. This will furnish plenty
OF water during the hot summer
months.
May Increase Orchard.
The La Toilette farm contains 1860
acres. Last year 1000 fruit trees were
planted, and more will be planted this
year. Mr.. La Toilette stated that it
was quite likely that when the Riparia
railroad was completed their orchard
would be increased to 500 acres. This
orchard grows more peaches than all
the rest of the Snake river orchards
combined, states Mr.. La Toilette.
Only Half a Crop.
I'VE will be able to put out only
half a crop, or so carloads of fruit
this year" continued Mr.. La Toilette.
"Our average output is 100000 boxes
of fruit and we operate our own saw
mill and box factory to supply our
needs. In the season we float down
the river an average of 100000 feet
of logs. We do no commercial busi-
ness whatever with our sawmill. but
have assisted smaller growers when
their supply of boxes was short.
"As to the fruit production on our
ranch, I can only give approximate
figures relative to the yield in the
different kinds. Where last year our
cherry trees produced 10000 boxes,
this year there will be less than 500.
We will market about $4,000 boxes of
peaches, which are from one-third to
one-tourth of a crop. There will be
about 10000 boxes of prunes and
plums, a good average crop with the
exception of one or two varieties.

1t Was Only Father.

A little boy played an "April Fool
joke on his mother that his fond
father scarcely appreciates. The new
and pretty servant girl was working in
the dining room, and the man of the
house had come in the rear door,
when the little son ran to his mother
and shouted: "Oh. Mamma, there's a
strange man in the dining room kiss
ing Minnie" The mother started for
the scene of war, when the boy con-
tinued: "Oh. I April fooled you; It
wasn't a strange man at all--it was
only papa who was kissing her"

G. c. Aldrich and DR.. Ira ]. Sexton
both of Chicago, arrived here last
night and this morning went to Mil
ton for the purpose of looking over
the fruit farms of that section Both
gentlemen are members of a party of
eight which was brought west re-
Gently by Elmer Cleaver formerly in
business here and now doing a brok-
eraSe business in Chicago.
The members of the party were
made interested in Oregon by Mr.
Cleaver, and as a result the trip was
planned. They reached the state n
week or more ago, and since that time
have been over Baker, Union and
Grant counties. The other members
of the party are now with Mr.. Cleaver
In Union county, and will pass
through here tonight on their way to
Portland.
Mr.. Aldrich has been in business in
Chicago for many years and is also
interested in fruit lands In Michigan.
1t Is this class of real estate that he
has been looking at mainly while on
his present trip, and he expects to
make some investments before re-
turning home.
Since he moved to Chicago Elmer
Cleaver has been an enthusiastic ad-
vertiser of Oregon, and he has induc-
ed many to come west and make in
vestments. However, both Messrs.
Aldrich and Sexton say that he has
not exaggerated the opportunities OF
this section for they believe that east
ern Oregon will show great develop
ment in the future
After visiting at Milton today the
two men will return to Pendleton and
join the others in the party which will
pass through here tonight.
