PULLMAN WON.
The Interstate Oratorical Contest
A Delightful Occasion.

They were fortunate people
who attended the oratorical contest
Saturday night. They got their
moneys worth in a varied and in
teresting programme. There were
three orations, and all were good
Aceordir g to the Judges that by the
young woman from Pullman was
the best. At least, she got the
prize, and SO far as known, there
were none to say nay. She had q
good voice and very cultured. de-
+ livery. All the greces incident to
enuncistion and expression, she
utilized. She bad q paper that SEN
ator La Toilette might, from its
sentiment, have mistaken for his
own. He need not have been a.
shamed of it. When Miss Healey
had finished, most of those who had
listened were really sorry that she
was not going to say more. That
was why che won.
The other speakers were Mark
| Weatherford, for o. A. c. and Wal
ter Eels of Whitman. Both ora.
tions were excellent, and Mr.
Weatherford's in particular, was
excellently delivered. His rendi
ton was one of the best that has
been heard atthe college. The sub
jsct wa" Patriotism Par Excellent
! Examples of notable patriotism
were rscited and conclusions drawr
therefrom. The subject of the
Whitman representa- tive was "Ths
Curse of Africa" andsthe outragel
by King Leopold of Belgium in tn,
Congo. How human hands wer,
struck from the natives becaus
they do not gather as much rubbe
as expected, and how the poor vic
Tins are shot. MANNED and maltreat
ed was moufnful story of human
depravity, that it was at least in

of. The application was an appea
to the United States to interfer
and put an end to the butchery

IS TWENTY CENTS NOW.
Dealers Claim Wool Will Not Be so
High as Last Year-Shearing
in Progress.

Wool is 20 cents in the local mar
ket. Last year the market started
off at about the same notch, but
advanced until few choice lots
brought rs cents. The woolen
mills of the valley went even high
er for such wool as they wanted,
paying as high as Fl 1.2 GEMS.
Most of the wool sold in Corvallis
went at 22 to 20 cents. The un-
derstanding is that the local buyers
made nothing out of their pur-
chases, and in some cases were
lucky to scratch out even. They
forced the market all the season and
had to hold long time in order to
get out without loss, losing in the
meantime, the interest on the in
vestment. Year before last, the
price at one time stood at 80 cents,
but only few growers held out
long enough to get that figure.
Shearing has begun, and few
small lots have already reached the
local market. A Portland paper
has the following on the wool stu
alton: q
The Eastern wool market is very
quiet, and the chances are that
Oregon growers will realize from
1-2 to cents less for their out
put this year, than they did for
their last years clip. This is not
because of any prospective increase
in the size of Oregon's clip, but be-
cause of the condition Of the East.
ern market, which governs the Sit
uation here.
Dealers last year complained a
good deal of the manner in which
some of the product was put up by
growers for the market. and they
are renewing the complaint in .ad-
vance this year, in the hope that it
will have some effect Last year
growers packed their feeces in any.
thing but an attractive manner,
and in some cases even left the
tag1ockston.
Carelessness in packing always
works hardship on the buyers,
and it invariably means a less price
for the product for the grower,
than would obtain if reasonable
care were exercised in packing. II
producers take the trouble to see
that all their wool reaches the mar
ket in good condition there would
be less complaint from all concern
ed. The sheep men have some
thing to learn from the fruit men in
this matter. . 5....r..
Some shear!ng has already beer
done In the eastern part Of the state
but as yet shearing is not general
either there or in, the Valley. A
few sales have been effected al
prices ranging from II to IS cents

cents:

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-03-30

To add to the already deep humil-
iation of this city because of its de-
fective theater, comes the news that
the Northwestern Theatrical associa-
ton has orders to book no more at
fractions here this year because of
the poor accommodations. Conse-
quently 1t seems Pendleton would have
been without shows had not the thea
ter been given up by its tenants and
condemned by the fire chief. In the
following letter to the East Oregonian
John Cort, general manager of the
Northwestern Theatrical Association,
gives his views of the situation here:
Seattle Wash. March 2S, 1907.
Editor East Oregonian, Pendleton, Or
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours of
March 81, am sorry to inform you
that the association has been notified
bv the New York office not to book
anv more attractions in Pendleton for
the coming wear on account of the
poor accommodation that you have
to give the companies at that point.
OF course / realize that your best cit
liens will not go into that theater ex-
cept when they really have to.
cannot understand why such a
city the size of Pendleton, Ore, does
not get together and with the promi-
nent citizens form a club, get seven
or eight men to put in $4,000 apiece
and give Pendleton such a theater as
they should have. Your town can
well afford to build new theater on
modern plans, and I believe IL the
matter is presented to your people
in the proper way, something can be
done.
am in receipt of a telegram from
Mr.. Taylor today saying that the thea
ter has now been condemned; Of
course this does away with theatrical
companies playing Pendeton at all un-
til you have a new theater.
Anything that I can do to further
advise you on this proposition, will be
only too glad to do so. I will state
that IL your people build a new thea
ter at Pendleton I will see that they
get all the first-class shows that play
the Short Line.
Yours truly,
JOHN CORT

NATURE SPARES


What a fortunate provision of nature
1t is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering: for how poignant would be itg
grief to discover. in the height of its
blooming glory. that a canker fed at its
heart, and that It's beauty and Fragrance e
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she Is a verltable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast gloom over the lives of thousands
Of young women. but thanks 10 the In
vestlgations of scientists the true cau~c
of hair destruction is now known to be

MAY VISIT HERMuSTON.

Portland Business Mems Excursion
Changing Itinerary to Stop in Ir-
rigation Belt. q
If the plans of the Hermiston bus
mess mems association are carried out
the excursion of Portland business
men whichy will visit the inland en-
pire in May, will stop at Hermiston
and visit the government dam and res
ervoir near there.
While the first itinerary issued by
the Portland Commercial club did not
include long stop at Hermiston, 1t Is
possible that the excursion will stop
at that place on the return trip from
Boise on May 12.
The people of Hermiston are max
ing every effort to have the excursion
stop and view the government irriga-
ton project and it is very probable
that such will be done.
