REMEMBER THE FAIR.

How many Umatilla county farmers
are making preparations to have a
good exhibit at the next county fair
which will be held in September?
How many fruit trees are being es-
prize tracts of wheat alfalfa, corn or
other field crops are being raised?
Ho wmany fruit trees are being es-
pecially nurtured and how many
watermelon patches have been plant
ed for the fair?
These matters should be attended
to this spring. 1t will be too late
next fall.
The fair management also hopes to
give premiums on common stock next
fall, as we'll as pedigreed stock.
Every farmer in the county who has
good animal is entitled to recogni-
ton and list of premiums for nom
pedigreed stock should be prepared
to cover every good colt, saddle horse,
work team, driving team or brood
mare that may be found in the county.
The fair is for the people. It is their
event. 1t is intended to encourage in
dustry and home building.
Pendleton will do her part. Always

OREGON AND UTAH.

While the Eugene Guard and other
papers which are opposing the cleo
ton of Prof. Kerr of Salt Lake, as
president of the Oregon Agricultural
college, are making charges against
this man, 1t might be well to compare
the educational statistics of Oregon
with those of Utah, from which latter
state Prof. Kerr comes and in which
he received his training.
With a population of 413,536, ac-
cording to the census of 1905, Oregon
has but 5S5 students in the prepare
tory, collegiate, graduation and pro-
fessional departments of her univer-
stiles and colleges, while Utah with a
population of but 276,74s, has Ss1
students in the same departments.
In Oregon but 22.99 per cent of the
total population is enrolled in the
public schools; in Utah, 24.96 per cent
are enrolled.
Oregon has but s67,500 income for
her state university; Utah enjoys ar
income of sss,e50.
So from an educational standpoint
Utah is ahead of Oregon. A greater
interest is manifested in the higher
branches of education In Utah than ir
Oregon. Utah has ss1 students in hel
universities and colleges; Oregon hai
5s5!
Let us forget Prof. Kerr's religion.
| belief and weigh him by his educa-
tional qualifications. He comes from
a live state. Utah has given him 6
rapid pace. Let us benefit by it.

The death Of Umatilla county pio-
neers, week after week, is a reminder
of the fact that the order Of the pio-
neers, like that of the old soldiers,
cannot be recruited, and must inevita-
bly, pass from earth. The men and
women who came to Umatilla county
and other eastern Oregon counties in
the early settlements, hold unique
place in the history of the state. The
hardships they suffered, the privations
they met, the dangers they faced will
never be known to others than them
selves. Such experiences are not
learned by word Of mouth. They must
be endured, they must be gained by
actual touch, to be appreciated.

A M'LoUGHLIN MEMORIAL.

In "old Oregon" has been for so

his name. Tardily, the name Of mt.

INITIATING OREGON.

Illinois, the greatest state of the
central group, has at last awakened
to the repeated call of reform and will
initiate Oregon, the pioneer in popu-
lar government, in the election of
United States senators.
The Chicago Record-Herald says OF
the movement in Illinois to elect SEN
ators by direct vote of the people:
Five weeks ago the state senate,
with only three negative votes, passed
a resolution calling for a constitution
al convention to provide for the elec-
ton of United States senators by d.
rect vote of the people. The lower
house had a similar resolution before
It at the same time, and since ther
It has had the senate's resolution be-
fore 1t, but 1t has as yet taken no &C.
ten.
Surely the delay is due not to the
wish of the house, but to the blockade
of the resolution In some concealed
pigeon-hole, where one or two hostile
representatives have power to keep II
hidden.
Two years ago the general assembly
adopted a similar resolution, and it,
act was manifestly approved by the
entire state. 1t Is important that q
fresh resolution should be passed al
each session of the assembly, so that
when the time comes that a sufficient
number of states make the demand
for a convention to compel its sum-
moning there can be no quibble over
the claim by the enemies of the reform
that the Illinois resolution is too old
to be valid.
1t is greatly to be hoped that the
lower house will search out this res
olution and adopt 1t, in order that
Illinois may still remain among the
progressive states leading in the move
ment for this reform.
