AT THE DISTRICT FAIR

Encourage Sheep Entries and VIII
Insure as Fine Sheep Exhibit at
Pendleton as Can Be Seen at Any
Point i'm America-Great Interest
Is Taken.

That the sheep exhibit will be one
of the fine features at the district
fair this fall seems certain from the
interest that is being taken by some
of the growers of the county.

CESS, of the Cunningham company, in
formed the members of the fair COM
mission that his company will have
IS head or more on exhibit at the fair.
In addition to some fine stock that
will be brought in from the company's
ranch. the shipment of fine bucks
recently purchased in Ohio will arrive
in time for exhibit at the fair.
At the instance of the sheepmen
the fair commission has enlarged the
premium list offered sheepmen. The
wool-bearing sheep have been divided
into two classes, the Merinos in one
and the Rambouillettes and Delaines
in the other Also there will be two
classes of mutton sheep-Lincolns and
Cotswolds.
The prizes offered will be the same
as named in the official premium list
excepting that they will be given to
sheep under the various classes, thus
doubling the total amount of sheep
prize money.

After listening to the evidence in
the Bellinger-Fletcher cutting scrape
yesterday afternoon, Judge Fitz Ger
aid fined each CT the participants in
the fight the sum of 500.
The facts brought out at the trial
showed that the trouble occurred at
Bellinger's home instead of at the
colored lodging house on Railroad
street. That gambling had been 60
ing on previous to the trouble was
shown by the testimony. However,
no gambling charges were made
against Bellinger or Fletcher in the
police court, though Charles Patton.

that offence. This morning he ap-
peared before Judge Fitz Gerald and
upon pleading guilty was fined S25.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-In su-
preme court this morning Assistant
District Attorney Cobb and Special
Prosecutor Hiram johnson argued
against granting application OF q
writ Of prohibition flied by the graft
defendants impugning the validity of
the oliver grand jury. This after
noon Attorneys King, McEnerny and
Rogers replied.
A. J. Speiss. former auditor Of the
Pacific Telephone company, was the
principal witness In the Glass case to-
day. He testified as to the rela-
tions between Glass and the COM
pany, and the authority OF the Off
cials OF the American peli Telephone
company, which holds the majority
of the stock of the Pacific Telephone
company. - "
Speiss also testified tina: he was
assistant general manager OF the cor
poration under Lewis Glass; that at
the period of the alleged bribery
c. Halsey worked directly under Mr..
Glass. The witness said he accom-
panied Henry T. Scott to Portland I'm
February. 1905. Immediately after the
selection of the latter by President
Fish, of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company to be president
Of the Pacific States company, sue
ceeding the late John /. Saben.
"At that time" said the witness in
response to a question by Mr.. Heney,
"Mr Scott had no practical knowl-
edge of the telephone business"
Mr.. Speiss strengthened the ellmi-
nation process of prosecution by tes-
tifying that in January and Febru-
airy. 1906. Mr.. Scott was not In active
charge of the company.
Speaking of coming to San Fran
cisco of Mr.. Pickorell, assistant to
President Fish. to organize the coast
company, Speiss said: "Tf you will
allow an expression. the condition of
the Pacific States Telephone company
at that time was rotten For one

to go over the heads of their direct
supervisors I know because I drew

DOES NOT REALIZE HIS CRIME.
Gosson Sings About the Jail and For
gets the Future.

"This is my boy, and want you to
be kind to him. 1t was Mrs. Gosson
who spoke and addressed Jailer Fitz-
gerald regarding her son, Ed Gosson,
who is confined in the county Jail, the
self-confessed murdered of Ernest
Bonomi, says The Dalles Chronicle.
The request is but natural one,
and yet unnecessary in this case, as
no prisoner in the Wasco county Jail
has been treated otherwise. Those
who heard 1t, however, could but ask
how much consideration a man who
would deliberately shoot another down
while he slept really deserves; how
much kindness he showed his help
less victim.
But Gosson seems to have little re-
alization of the enormity of his crime
and the awful retribution that must
come. He is one of the happiest of
prisoners and spends much time in
singing. Being possessed of a rich
deep bass voice and acquainted with
all the popular airs, he entertains the
prisoners frequently, and thus seems
to forget his situation and what the
future has in store for him.

RESULTS FROM TODAY's STORM

At o'clock this afternoon a
thunderstorm broke over this section
of Umatilla county and the ground

Consequently grainmen are again

WOOD RIVER PROJECT.
iii Put 10000 Acres Under Water
Next Year.

Next Year.
Boise, Aug. 23.-At the meeting Of
the state land board Wednesday
Governor Gooding was authorized to
sign a contract with the Idaho Irri-
CATION company, by which the COM
pany is bound to have water running
in canals covering 10000 acres Of
their segregation next spring. Gen.
eral Manager Hernshein of the irri-
cation company, was present at the

part of the company.
The Idaho Irrigation company's
project is situated at the Big Wood
river, and in all embraces 10000
acres. Thirteen thousand acres of this
land has already been sold and anoth-
er opening will in all probability be
held during October at which 10000
acres will be offered.
Mr.. Hernsheim In speaking OF the
progress on the great dam to con-
serve the flood waters, said that when
completed the reservoir would have a
capacity of 200, 900 acre feet. The dam
will be 1875 feet In height, and will
at Its greatest length be 900 feet II
will be made by a rock fill and will
taper in width so that the water will
rest on rather than against the dam,
which at. the base will be 800 feet in
width.
Two spillways over solid rock will
carry off the overflow.
A committee of the land owners on
the south side Twin Falls segregation
appeared before the board regarding
the turning over OF the canal system
by the irrigation company to them.
There will be further consideration
of this matter at the meeting Of the
board today.

PURE BRED FOWLS.

The advantages of pure bred poultry
over mongrels and grades cannot be
pointed out too often. By far too
many farmers keep all sorts and MKT
ures of breeds on the place, instead
Of the one well selected breed that
would return them double the profit.
-Beak for beak, well bred poultry eat
no more than mongrels. Pound fer
pound the meat breeds cost no more
to raise; but less. Bird for bird they
cost more; they r worth the differ
ence. Egg for egg the laying breeds
and strains cost no o to feed, but
loub1e, triple and uuadruple the profits
derived from scrubs. Everything is
In favor Of pure BREEDS" This point
can never be put too strongly. We
know from our own experience what
satisfaction there is In the possession
of a large flock Of uniform birds, may
they be black, white, red, brown or
speckled, so long as they are all alike.
And when you have such a flock peo-
pie will want to come and buy cock
erel or two, OF a trio, willing to give
two. three or more times the price
Of mongrels for them. The pure breds
of selected strains will lay more eggs.
at less cost and the eggs will sell
for Matching at Sir or $50 per sitting
instead OF going to the grocer or to the
table at fifteen or twenty cents a
dozen. What is worth doing at all. is
worth doing wen. II you keep any
fowls, by AN means Keep the pure
breds and maintain them at the high
est standard. Select the breed yon
want. Then select the breeder from
whom to purchase a male and three or
four hens. You viii then be in posi-
ton to have eggs for Matching when
you want them, and possibly raise
quite a flock for a starter another
