East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-08-23

Leon Cohen, prince of PendIeton
merchants, president of the Third Dis
trict Fair commission and wheel
horse in the word of advancing the
city's interest, has returned home
from sojourn in the east. Accom-
panied by Mrs. Cohen he arrived last
evening and he says he is not sorry
to be hack.
Il feel like a ship that has Just
made port and 1t seems good to be
here" said he this morning between
handshakes. We went all around, but
l can truthfnlly say that none of the
places we visited seems as fair to me
as Pendleton. The nearer we got to
home the better 1 felt"
While away the Cohens passed
much OF their time in New York and
from that city they went into Canada
They went down the st. Lawrence
river past the Thousand Islands to
Montreal. They also stopped for a
time in historic old Quebec and then
came back to Buffalo. From that
city they crossed the Great Lakes to
Duluth and came west via Minneapo-
lis. Stopping at Yellowstone Park
they viewed the wonders there and
then came home.
Fair Machinery Starts.
The arrival OF Mr.. Cohen means re-
newed work for the coming district
fair and from this day on the wheels
of preparation will be kept buzzing.
During the past few weeks C. E. Roos-
evelt has guided the affairs of the
commission, and much of the prelim-
mary work has been done. However,
there were many things that had to
await the arrival OF the other men,
bers of the executive committee,
Messrs. Cohen and Teutsch. A meet
ing of the committee will be held at
once and the details for the fair week
worked out.
Mr.. Teutsch, who has also been In
the east since July 4, is expected
home daily.

their long journey. Many of them
were rubbed and bruised up quite
badly, hut nothing serious. One fine
large Belgian stallion was dead in the
car when 1t arrived here last evening.
The caretaker said that It died about
3 o'clock yesterday morning.
Tomorrow one car OF the best Of
the lot will be picked out and ship
ped by express to Mr.. Ruby's barns
noar Pendleton, Ore. The balance OF
the lot will be kept here and fed for
about 30 days. Mr.. worsley has
charge OF them.
The lot consists principally of draft
and coach stations, although there
are a few brood mares among them
When they recover from the long
voyage across the ocean and half
across this continent, they will be a
fine looking bunch and will be view

cool summer in Powder Valley.

The oldest inhabitants of this valley
say that they have never experienced
such a cool summer as this in Oregon.
The hot days can be counted on one
hand so far and this morning capped
it all when, on arising early, quite a
frost was discernable. Potato vines
though nearly matured, were killed
and squash leaves withered and turn
ed black by the summer frost At
noon the thermometer registered but
rs degrees. How's this for your cool
summers, and on August 10, too?-

Labor Saving Harvest Device.

For the first time in the history of
this county a machine is being used
by threshing machine men whereby
the use of the derrick drivers and
derrisk teams is dispensed with. 1t
is device that is operated by one
man and the power is furnished by
the engine. and two derrick forks can
be successfully worked by one man,
thus doing away with the services of
one man and four horses, making a
net saving to the machine man each
day of about S6.-Ritzville Times.

INFORMATION ON COAL.
Orders for Many thousand Tons Have
Been Received.

Salt Lake, Aug 23.-E j, Martin,
manager of the Russelville Anthracite
Coal Mining company OF Russelville,
Ark, has written to the general,
freight agent of the Union Pacific,
which letter has been transmitted to
the general freight office of the Ore
gon Short Line in this city, furnish
ing information relative to the pros

from the Arkansas mines. Mr.. Mar
tin states he has already placed or

expects these orders will be increas-
ed to 1444 car loads or 10000 tons
during the season. He states move
ments of this tonnage will begin at
once and asks about equipment, sug.
gesting in this connection that Union
Pacific cars loaded south with grain
could be sent back to the Missouri
river loaded with coal.
Mr.. Martin has gone to Lincoln,
ILL.,, possibly to look over the SOFT
coal situation there with the view
Of making shipments therefrom in
case the Russelville mines should fall
down on production or anything else
should transpire to stop or curtail
shipments from Russelville. He has
not attempted to place any orders In

DISPATCHING FROM PASCo.
Hunts Junction Discontinued-No

An order went into effect on the
Northern Pacific this morning where
by all of the dispatchfng for the
Warla Walla branch WIN be done at
Pasco, says the Walla Waila Bulletin.
r. ]. Hubbard, who has been the dis
patcher in Walla Walla for severai

place, and besides his duties as
dispatcher he will be required to ham

district. This move has been under
contemplatiCb ever since the w. &

Pacific, and is in keeping with the
many changes made lately for q bet

The station at Hunts Junction was
discontinued today, and hereafter
trains will not stop there. The opera

will now be the junction of the Pasco

refused by the council, as was also
the offer of w, H. Skinner to provide

ECHO ENGAGED SPACE.
VIII Participate in District Fair With
Representative Exhibit.

In behalf of the residents of Echo
Messrs E. H. Brown and Louis

participate In the fair with a good
exhibit and the work of arranging
for the same is now under way. Mr.,
Brown was here himself today and
consulted with Secretary Fitz Gerald
regarding the space to be assigned
Echo.
Other towns of Umatilla and Nor

space at the fair at once so that the
pavilion may be divided equitably
among them.

on the skill of the one who evoked

quality of the tone is always the same.
To illustrate this perfect uniformity
OF tone the telharmonic reproduction of
the music of the French horn may be
used. The tone from this instrument
is exquisite when produced by an
artist, but the mechanical difficulties of
keeping the tone equal in quality are
well known to those who are familiar
with it. This is entirely obvated by
the new electric system. The tone is
always the same and may be prolonged
indefinitely. This Is equally true of the
tone of the violin or cello or any other
musical sound that may be required.

NN his ingenious "Looking Back
ward" Edward Bellamy draws a
picture OF the home life in an
American city in the year 1000.
He tells OF a central musical station
from which wires extended to every
home. so that merely by pressing a
button any one who felt so inclined
might have the works of the masters,
interpreted by virtuosi, brought into
his immediate presence. At the time
this clever bit Of prophetic fiction was
pubished-now almost twenty years
aeo--no one took the prediction seri-
ouslY. not even the electrician. who was
looking forward as far as he could and
was in no position to look backward.
II has come to pass that Bellamy's
inverted prophecy has been fulfilled al
most literally About the only point of
variance between the prediction and its
realization is that the latter came too
soon, about ninety-three years before IL
was due. If the outcome had been dis
astrous or even lisagreeable, the world
might have been disposed to hold the
prophet responsible, but since the full
filment has brought only satisfaction
we cannot regret its premature coming.
