Otto CFat"D Turner has Just pur-
chased the sporting goods stock of

that business in the future. He will
have one-half of the room now occu-

posted men in the county upon fish
and game subjects. This knowledge
of conditions and his wide acquaint

After a thorough and most success
full test on 500 acres Of grain in the
vicinity of Pendleton, the Reynolds
Automatic combined harvester has
been brought to the city and placed
in the sheds at the Pendleton Iron
works for the winter.
The machine was brought here to
demonstrate its qualities and this has
been done to the satisfaction of Its
inventor, A. D. Reynolds, who left
today for Berkeley, Calf, to remain
at the factory for the winter.
The tests made on the farms of J..
II. owen and H. r. Neil on Wild
Horse creek, prove that the Rey-
nolds automatic machine of 16-
foot cut can be handled with one
third less power than other machines
of equal size, owing to the improved
bearings and light draft.

makes the machine practicable on all

Mr.. Reynolds to bring the factory to
Pendleton, where the machines can
be manufactured near the wheat
fields and thus save the enormous
freight charges from California to
Umatilla county.

stories of the stalwart jurist. One re-

to get drink of water. There were
half dozen men in the place, and a
flask had been passed around and the
glass used for the liquor. Justice Har-
Ian took up the glass, smelled it, and
turned on the smokers:
Who" he roared, in his deep bass
voice, has had the termerity to drink
whiskey out of this glaSs?"
Il did, piped up. the owner of the
flask, somewhat awed by the great
bulk of the justice.
