Unless all signs fail, the first night
of the district fair will be one of the
best of the week for attendance.
With the many handsome booths,
decorations. and the myriads of cleo
tric lights the fair grounds will pre-
sent scene of splendor that should
not be missed.
It will be the evening of "Pendle-
ton Day. and of all days of the week
the most proper one for the people of
this city to show their loyalty by at
tending. Likewise it will be one of
the most interesting occasions from
many standpoints.
Tomorrow will be livestock and

noon entertainment brief addresses

Secretary Garfield of the interior
department, has reached Washington
after his extended western trip, yet no
definite announcement Of the opening
of land in any Of the reclamation
projects although 1t has been an
nounced that a portion Of the Uma-
tilla irrigation project would be
thrown open upon the secretary's re-
turn to Washington.
A Washington dispatch of Sunday
says of the matter OF opening the ir-
rigation projects to settlement:
A part of the Umatilla irrigation
project in eastern oregon will be sup
piled with water during the season OF
1908, but the project as a whole may
not be ready for cultivation until the
season following. The Umatilla River
waterusers' association recently for
warded to the Oregon delegation let
ter indicating some uneasiness be-
cause the project had not been thrown
open to settlers this season. This let
ter was referred to the reclamation
service in Washington and the fol-
lowing is the reply made today:
Land within the Umatilla project
is not open for filing and settlement
because farm unit plats showing sub
divisions for filing are under prepara-
ton. 1t is expected that there will be
filed at an early date. Experience has
shown that it is not desirable to en-
courage settlement on a project until
the date of delivery of water is def
nitely known. Earlier settlement has
led to hardship to settlers who were
unable to obtain water.
Answering the question: When
land is open for settlement will set
tiers he required to draw by lot for
a tract or can they go Immediately
upon the land and file under the rec
lamation act without further delay"
the service should state that it is be-
lieved a drawing will not be needed
in this case, although it has been
necessary elsewhere to avoid a rush.
This is a matter which mus' - set
tied by the secretary of the interior.
"It is the expectation to furnish
water to a large percentage Of tho
project during 1908. but just what
percentage II is impossible to say at
present. 1t is not possible to complete
the entire project by that time, nor is
it possible safely to predict what pro-
gress can be made in construction. The
principal controlling feature is the
large storage dam, and until this is
actually built to a point where sue
cess in holding water next year is as
sured, It would be unwise to make
promises.
Furthermore. experience has
shown that a large amount of land
opened for settlement at once is like
ly to glut the market. 1t would be
unjust to holders of land to have it
all thrown on the market at once
with necessity for a sudden sale"

KELLOGG GRILLs TILFORD.
Standard Official Placed in "Sweat
Box" by Prosecution.

New York, Sept. 23.-Prosecutor
Kellogg gave Treasurer Tilford, of the
Standard, a disagreeable morning to-
day Dissatisfied with the results of
the Investigation up to date in rela-
ton to the sale of the subsidiary
companies, Kellogg turned upon TIL
ford and grilled him numerically.
He asked Tilford why the Standard
gave the Chicago Gas company, then
controlled by Benedict and others,
such a lucrative contract to furnish
supplies and wanted to know If the
contract was in. part, a consideration
for the sale of the Manhattan Oil
company which Kellogg believes the
Standard acquired instead of reput-
ed English syndicate.
Tilford replied he did not know.
You swear it was not" cried Kel-
logg. Tilford then replied, Not to
my knowledge"
Kellogg then developed the fact
that Tilford signed the contract which
closely connected all the companies
in the old trust agreement. He was
told to bring this contract into court

AMERICAN BARK WRECKED.
-Four Hundred People Were MarooRed
on Island

Astoria, Ore, Sept. 23.-At Q
O'Clock ON the morning Of August 8
the American bark John Currier was
wrecked at Nelson Lagoon in Behr-
ing sea and all OF the 400 people on
board were landed in safety. The ves-
sci and her cargo of salmon from
Nushagka river were a total loss.
Two of the party came out over
land and told of the wreck. Since
then nothing has been heard from
them. Although efforts were made to
send them assistance through the rev.
enue cutter service 1t is feared that
the party is in actual danger OF starv-
ing or freezing TO death. The secre-
tary of the Pacific Coast Fishermen's
union today sent wire to President
Roosevelt and also had the Oregon,
Washington and California U. S. sem
ators to do likewise.

himself. escorted by Deputy Joe Blake
ley, all left for the head OF Mckay

and the court will not return until
evening.
Saturday evening the last of the evil
dence in the case was submitted by
both sides and the trial is now over
with the exception of the attorneys
arguments. These will b. taken up
tomorrow morning and the case will
doubtless go to the jury by noon or
shortly afterwards,
But little of interest was developed
in the evidence Saturday afternoon as
the state did not offer any very ex-
tended rebuttal testimony.
Three members of the grand Jury
which indicted Rhonimus were placed
upon the stand and all said that while
testifying before that body Rhonimus
had said he had fallen 10 his knees
Just before firing the shot at Myers.
The three jurors examined were

BABE DROWNED IN DITCH.
Infant Son of Harry Coleman Met Sad
Fate I'm Wallowa.

Enterprise, Sept. 23.-On the s. W.
Miles ranch near Lostine, chubby
baby boy, the darling OF his mothers
heart. was drowned Saturday within
10 feet of the door of the kitchen
wothin which the loving mother was
attending to her household duties.
The little one was the two year old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Coleman,
who reside on the Miles ranch. Mrs.
Coleman mad been keeping a close
watch on her baby as he played about
the door. but her work claimed her
attention elsewhere for few min
utes. about half an hour before noon.
The tot went to water ditch
where there was a hole large enough
to let bucket down and that was
usually covered with lid. The baby
fell into the hole and was drowned,
his frail hold on life being gone be-
yond resuscitation when the accident
was discovered, though everything
was done that could be done.

MRS. ct. KOE:PPEN
PASSED AWAY
MOTHER OF KOEPPEN BROS
DIED THIS MORNING
Death Was Unexpected, Although
Her Illness Has Extended Through
Several Months-Deceased Woman
Was a Native of Germany, But
Came to America at 1S-Raised a
Family of Four Sons and One
Daughter-Three Sons Are Promi-
nent Pendleton Business Men.

Mrs. C. F. Koeppen, mother of the
Koeppen brothers, died at 1880 this
forenoon at the home of her son, o.
w. Koeppen. Death was the result
of an illness that has lasted for some
time, but was somewhat unexpected
as she had been improving in health
until Saturday. 1t is probable that
the remains will be shipped to Sioux
Falls, South Dakota, for burial.
The deceased was 65 years of age
and was born in Berlin, Germany. At
the age of IS she came to America
and was married in Wisconsin. The
family resided in that state until
1897. In that year the husband of
the deceased died and in 1900 she
came to Pendleton to make her home
with her sons. She has since lived
with o. w. Koeppen and family.
By her death the mother leaves to
survive her four sons and one daugh-
ter. The sons are F. w. Koeppen, A.
c. Koeppen, o. w. Koeppen, all of
this city and H. o. Koeppen of Boise.
while the daughter is Mrs ]. NJ.
Randolph of Sioux Falls. H. o..
Koeppen is expected from Boise to-
night, while Mrs. Randolph will
probably arrive tomorrow from Sioux
Falls.
During her seven years residence
here Mrs. Koeppen made many
friends among the people of the city
and especially in the neighborhood
werein she lived. Consequently
much sorrow is expressed over her
death and wide sympathy is shown
the surviving members of the fam
lily, three of whom are prominent and
highly respected business men Of
l Penndleton.
