In the work of preparing for the
coming fair and in exploiting the
same the greatest prominence pos
sible has BEEN given to Morrow
county and its people. Though
the fair is held in Pend eton the

ing made to have Morrow as well
represented with exhibits and in
attendance as is Umatilla. The
business men of Morrow county
are recognized as being among the
most progre sive in eastern Oregon
and Morrow county livestock have
won sweepstake prizes all over the
west, while as a wheat raising
county Morrow ranks we'll in the
lead. Whett 9 or not these things
shall be properly made known at
the district fair rests with Morrow
people themselves.
With the opening of the fair
now but three weeks off the pre-
paratory work is being rushed and
everything promises to be in readi-
ness by the 23rd. McEllerey's
famous silver cornet band of Cali
forn4a has been engaged to play
during the entire week of the fair
and this fact alone will ensure
good entertainment each day. Last
fall the afternoon and evening
concerts given daily by the band
we're enjoyed emensely and this
wear music lovers, and Who does
not like to listen to a band, will be
given an opportunity to hear one
Of the best organizations upon the

band other good entertainment
features, such as vaudeville stunts,
scrobatic work etc, will be pro-
gided and each days program will

ITPAYS TO
GROW PEAS
Can be Grown Success
fully in This County.
Taken Acre for Acre are More
Valuable Than other
Crops.

H. W. Fell, one of Morrov
coun ty's prosperous ranchers an
stock men was in the CITY thi
week. Mr.. Fell is probably tn
only man in Morrow county VIII,
grows peas in any quantity for ;
forage crop. This is Mr.. Fell
first crop in this county and he il
enthusiastic over the results.
10 speaking of his experiment.
in this county, Mr.. Fell tells ar
interesting story and is of the
opinion that peas can be success
fully grown in this county almost
any where and will yield return
of profit that is worth looking
after.
Mr.. Fell's first experience was
on the California coast where peas
are grown as field crop, and he
first commenced away back in the
early ZOE. Before coming to
Morrow county he resided in Walla
Walla, Washington, where he grew
peas in considerable quantity fer
the past q years on wheat lands
Coming to this county in November
of last ear he purchased the big
ranch belonging to the Howard
estate and is engaged in the stock
business. He grows cattle, horses,
hogs and sheep and naturally the
question of feed is an important
one with him.
Last spring he bought several
different varieties of peas Including
100 pounds of the White Canada
Marrow Fat, 100 pounds of the
English Buckeye, so pounds of the
big sweet sugar peas and so pounds
of the Little Gem sugar peas, these
varieties being priD Dcipally garaden
peas. The cost of this seed
amounted to about $50.
o. May 8, he planted SO pounds
# the Little Gem on about half an
Icre of ground. Mr.. Fell was not
satisfied with the result Of
his planting owing to the fact that
he Little Gem is not we'll suited
or this climate, however the yield
vas from 1000 to $500 pounds of
helled peas to the acre. The
main objection was the fact that
he vine is short and the produc.
i IN of fodder was not go great as
ome other varieties.
The next planting was on the
tn of May when he planted the
arge sugar pea. The yield for
he!'ed peas was about the same as
he Little Gem but the vine growth
vrs about double making a much
rea or amount of hay.
He next planted 100 pounds of
be White Canada Marrow Fat on
he 5th of June. The vines grew
o a height of about four feet and
be yield of shelled peas was not
ess than 5000 pounds to the acre.
IN the same day he planted 100
'ounds of the English Blackeye |
nd the vines of this variety grew
0 height of from four to six feet
18th a yield of shelled peas about |
quail to the Canadian variety.
The last crop was planted about
he middle of June. The earlier
rops were sown broadcast while |
he last planting was drilled in
ows about six inches apart. He
kinks that the last crop is the
est one and it is Just ready to
arvest now.
He is of the opinion that peas
an be successfully grown almost
nywhere In this county. On the |
ills and dry lands the seed must |

INDIANS SLAY AT HUB.

1t has been said that the Indians
present the shouts for the bounty in
Maine and then come up here with
the tails for another bounty. That
there is nothing to prevent this being
done except the Indians sense Of
honor is perfectly true. OF course.
they are obliged to swear that the
seals have been killed within the con-
fines Of the town or city In which the
bounty is applied for. but perjury has
been known to exist among Indians
as well as among white men. Then.
too. the tail is only two or three
inches long and very small around.
and therefore lends itself very readily
to transportation.
Many people have wondered why
the state encourages the killing Of
the seAls. The answer IL to be found
In the seals stomach. Last year q
flsh and game warden found In the
stomach of one seal II cells. several
Holsters. q few founders and general

been killed in Quincy bay this season
that is Island you get some idea
OF the competition which seals afford

How to Wash an Automobile.

When the owner Of an automobile
has engaged a new driver he should
stand by to watch the method adopted
when the new broom washes the car
for the first time, says the Pittsburg
Press. If a hose is provided and the
new man forthwith plunges a sponge
into water and commences to wipe the
mud and dust off the paint work it is
clear that he does not know. his job
and should be stopped at once. Mud
and dust should never be wiped off,
ever with a wet sponge, but should be
washed away with water just running
from the hose pipe without force. 1t
should be sluiced away. and that can
not be done properly If the water is
pouring forcibly through the nozzle.
Where mud has caked upon the car
water must be allowed to run gently
over the incrustations until they break
up and are washed away. Then a
clean sponge and clean water must be
used for finally washing the paint work
when all the mud and grit have disap-
peared. The final drying and polishing
can be done with perfectly clean, grit
less chamois feathers. Cars should be
washed Immediately upon coming into
the garage. Wherever dried mud rests
for any time a dull stain remains which
nothing will remove

As the Salisbury and Rowan
Democracy is now constituted it
can elect any candidate it may
see fit to nominate 1t can elect
a negro with convict stripes on
him as easily as our most reputa-
BILE citizen, that is. if the party
stands together, as it has, and
votes for the nominee merely be-
cause he is labeled "Democrat."
This is a very dangerous position
for a party controlled by corrup-
tionists to get into. This is why
some exceedingly unworthy mon
we're elected last fall, and, it will
be the responsible factor if these
fellows are eve reelected: The
present efforts of those who are
now daring to make rules by
which freemen must abide in Or
der to vote in the coming munich
pal primary, is by no mean cred
table to anything that has a
semblance of Democracy about it.
1t is a dastardly effort to kick out
some of the best men in the party,
merely to assist the present mayor
to break the third term rule and
to tie the hands and better judg-
ment of the voters two years
hence. In short they hope to
break this rule to re-ele.t Boyden
and make the voters obllgate
themselves to stand by this same
rule two years hence and re-elect
the present county officials. Are
freemen going to allow themselves
to be handled thus7 Who are
these men and of what authority
have they to say how you shall
vote nov or at some future date?
Such usurpation of authority and
dictatorial methods may be used to
tide over matters in a case of
emergency, they may succeed,
they may even flourish for a time,
but SO sure as death there will,
sooner or later, be all end of 1t.
As for us, we believe in the JUS
tice and righteousness of our peo-
pie and are content to leave it
with them.
