First Step Necessary.


What is the first step in seeking ap-
pointment to a consulate?''
The first step is designation. A candi-
date for a position in the consular serv
ice must apply to the Department of State
with recommendations from responsible
parties. Those who have been designated
already have brought recommendations
from senators, representatives., governors,
business men. bankers, school teachers
and other persons who know them and can
speak from actual knowledge of their
qualifications. The recommendations are
required also to be satisfactory as to
moral character. and the persons making
the recommendation must state how he
happened to be in a position to attest the
qualifications and how long he has known
the applicant
THE executive order of June 81, 1906
provides that not only in designation for
examination. but in appointments after
equalizing the representation in the con-
sular service of the different states and
territories. This makes it difflsult for a
man from the New England states. New
York or Ohio. for example. to enter the
service at this time. Those states are
still overrepresented. although their quotas
are gradually falling to normal.
The southern and western states are
generally below their quotas. and there
fore designations may be made from
them. Many young men of apparently
excellent qualifications are applying for
examination, but are refused because
their states are overrepresented, while
the number of applicants from the south
ern and western underrepresenteds states
is disappointingly small. This is appar-
emily due to the fact that the foreign
business of the country is mainly In the
older states, where, the natural environ
ment has caused people to be interested
in this service. while the agricultural
states are not much interested in consular
work and have not so much knowledge of
its attractions. Naturally in the newer
states the home opportunities hold the
young men.
Designated for Examination.
Recently thirty-five men were desig-
mated for examination" continued Mr..

EZRA MEEKER JOGGING ALONG
Puyallup Pioneer on Old Trail in
!. New York.

Automobilists on the old Albany post
road have Eeen treated in the last few
days to the sight of a genuine prairie
schooner drawn by yoke of oxen, says
New York special. The outfit is
that of Ezra Meeker of Puyallup,
WASH. near Tacoma, who started on
January 29, 1906, to retrace his jour
ney of 81 years before along the old
Oregon trail to its eastern terminus on
the Missouri river, thence across Iowa
and Illinois to his Indiana home.
Meeker reached Indianapolis on June
5, 1907, distance Of 1880 miles. AS
he travelled he interested the people ON
the route in preserving the old trail,
and by their help erected numerous
stones, posts and monuments as guides
to the trail.
From Indianapolis he was tracked
along by way of Cleveland, Buffalo,
Syracuse and Albany, and thence down
the old post road, stopping at the var
ious towns along the river. He il
bound for Oyster Bay to see the presi
dent, and later to Washington to tr,
to interest the government in trans
forming the old trail into good road

CATTLE THIEVES BUSY AGAIN
Bunch of 100 Head are Stolen From
Salmon River Country.

A Lewiston dispatch says cattle
rustlers have again paid their respects
to Idaho and gathered up 100 head Of
fine cattle from the ranges south of
the Salmon river and disappeared with
the entire band.
The report was received in Lewiston
by Sheriff Lydon. who was instructed
by the sheriff's Office at Weiser to look
out for stray band of 100 cattle,
which is supposed to have been driven
into the Lewiston country.
Nez Perce county was the hostess for
the rustlers few weeks ago when 1876
head of cattle were gathered from the
southwestern section of the county
and rushed across the Snake river into
the wilds of the Blue mountains Of
Oregon.
Ic is believed here that an organized
band is operating in the country and
driving the stolen stock into the re-
mote sections of the upper Snake river
valley and adjoining mountain coun-
try.

MEETING FOR A FAIR
Convenes Saturday Evening and At
tendance of All Interested Is
Urgently Requested.

. Now that harvest is we'll under
way. people begin to find time for their
minds to revert to the prospects in
line for the fair that is proposed to be
held in Athena on September 1921 in
elusive. The hum of threshing ma
chinery and the flow of golden grain
has diverted the attention of all and
the fair proposition along with every
thing else but wheat, has been side
tracked as secondary and minor items
for consideration. The fact that the
harvest season, In which is one Of the
greatest crops ever grown, is drawing
to close, has put all in spirit Of
elation and d few more pulls at the
wheel will start the fair rolling to
success.
The committee on finance and the
committee on grounds have performed
their duties and are ready to report.
With the object of getting down to
work, Mayor Plamondon, president
of the Athena Agricultural and Live
stock Fair Association has called a
meeting for tomorrow evening. He
requests that all members of the asso-
citation and those who subscribed to
the Fair fund be present If possible.
The fact that Walla Walla has bump
ed into the Athena Fair dates has led
to the suggestion shat the dates be
changed.

THE HARVEST FIELD
Another 60 Bushel Yield Reported
This Week---Harvest Pro-
crossing Well.

4 Another 60-bushel yield is reported
to the Press for today's issue. In this
instance the big yield comes from
north of town. 1t was cropped by M.
L. Watts on the old Zimmerman place,
and so acres comprised the field. An,
other exceptionally good yield, of
wheat is reported by A. j. Wagner,
who received S41 sacks from 28 acres.
The past week s weather has been
ideal for harvest and Zig hole has
been out in the acreage of this vicin-
ity. Another week will see harvest
practically over hereabouts, weather
permitting
From now on a constant stream of
teams will be moving the crop from
field to warehouse. A considerable
amount of grain has been sold but the
price now offered, SO cents, does not
seem to attract sellers to any great ex-
tent.
Notes From the Field.
O. A. Barrett harvested 55 bushels
per acre on his place near town. Por-
tions of the field averaged over so
bushels, but Mr.. Barrett is we'll salts
fed with the general average of 55.
John Walker wore big smile as he
greeted the Press reporter with, "Tell
'em that my 200-acre field averaged
fraction over 80 bushels per acre. +"
Kellar & Thompson kept their roust-
about on the hustle for extra sacks.
They counted on 40-bushel yield the
average went strong 30 bushels.
Fifty bushels per acre was the yield
on the M. NJ. Johns place west of
town.
A splendid yield is reported by A. l..
Swaggart. His wheat averaged 55
bushels per acre. On his Birch creek
ranch Mr.. Swaggart threshed 5000
sacks of barley.

WHEAT STORIES IN PORTLAND
Judge Ellis and Jim Kyle Tell o.
Umatilla County Yields.

The following interview from prom
inent Umatilla county men, on the
wheat situation appeared in the Ore.

30 to 100 bushels to the acre is eligi-
BILE to the Oregon Wheat club, started
by Judge w. r. Ellis and "Jim'
Kyle at the Imperial hotel.
The congressman started off with a
story about the wonderful yield of
more than SO bushels to the acre
raised by Thomas J. Kirk on his so
acre tract near Athena.
what do you think of that, Jim?"
asked Judge Ellis. "Some of that
wheat ran more than 70 bushels toythe
acre and part of it warehouse measure
ments."
"That is pretty good" said Mr..
Kyle, who will harvest record
breaking crop of "spuds'' on his place
near Echo next month. II haven't a
story that will beat that, but Lowell
Rogers and Louis Rothrock raised 55
bushels to the acre on their places near
Eastland last year.
After Jonathan Bourne's former
manager for eastern Oregon finished,
Fred Walters told about the crop of
Hugh Walker near Helix.

BANN|STER'S MANY RUNAWAYS
Present Rate viii Soon Boost Him
Ahead of Brotherton's Record.

Is John Bannister out after Charley
Brotherton's runaway record?
Whether he is or not, he bids fair
to win out, if his runaways continue
at the present rate. Last week the
string of horses on his McRea combin
cut loose for playful whirl around
the field, the result being slight
damage to the machine.
During the evening. while in Athe-
ma for repairs, his driving team broke
loose from the hitching rack and
dashed homeward, without driver.
Sunday his third and most serious
runaway took place. While hitching
up to the combine preparatory to a
days work, the string OF horses be-
came unmanageable and bolted into
run. The combine was whisked along
at speed which soon demolished
the cylinder into fragments and shook
the machine up considerably.
The McRea machine has the rep
utation Of being the lightest draft Of
any combine on the market. This
claim is now sufficiently verified it
would seem, and Mr.. Bannister would
do the right thing in thinning the
number of horses down, retaining on
ly teams sufficient to pull the machine
without feeling their oats and get
| ting gay"

HOUSER STARTS STAMP MILL
Well known Umatilla Man Interested
in Mining in Grant County.

Zoeth Houser, one of the most ener
getic mining men in this section, has
completed tho installation of a TO-
stamp mill on the Present Need mine.
which property he has purchased from
2. +. Morey of Portland and organiz-
ed corporation with capital stock
of 1000, 900 shares at the par value OF
81 per share, says the Prairie City
Miner. The stamps will be started
next week on some very rich ore taken
from that property.
This property has many ups and
downs. Mr.. Clifford in his time took
out considerable gold from small but
very rich vein. Then Mr.. Morey ac-
quired the property, when trace Of the
vein was lost, aud it was lying idle for
several years. Mr.. Houser, who had
examined the property, took lease
Of it, found the vein after much work,
bought it and is now mining the pro-
perty with success.

May Build Warehouses.

Weston farmers are greatly opposed
to the increased cost of warehouse
storage and threaten to build and oon-
duct warehouses there if the advance
is not rescinded. "We are concerned
SO much" said one to the Leader,
THAT we will have our own ware
houses in 1908 if this advance is not
rescinded. Most of us will submit
this year because we are compelled to.
But we are we'll aware that the extra
charge is extortion and, and already
here is con oerted movement on foot
to handle our own grain next season. :"

Preachina and Practice.

Lord Lawrence, one of the famous
viceroys of India, was an able and
very simple man. He used to do his
work in his shirt sleeves and discourage
ed as much as possible all state and
ceremony. He was inclined to treat
the natives like children, although he
always strenuously insisted upon their
meriting and receiving justice and
kindness. Lord Mayo went to India to
succeed him, and on the last afternoon
before Lord Lawrence was to leave for
home he took the incoming viceroy for
drive. On the way he impressed his
doctrine of kindness very emphatically
and solemnly on his successor. Lord
Mayo thanked him for his helpful ad-
vice, and they returned in due course
to Government House. The syce, or
footman, was slow and awkward in
opening the door of the carriage,
whereupon Lord Lawrence jumped out
in a temper and gave his ear an I'M
tug. Lord Mayo turned to
the viceroy's aid with smile.
my first practical lesson in kindness
to natives is'undoubtedly an odd one,"
he whispered.

When the crusaders under King
Richard of England defeated the Sara
Gems, the sultan, seeing his troops fly
asked what was the number of the
Christians who were making all this
slaughter. He was told that it was
only King Richard and his men and
that they We're all on foot
''Then,' said the sultan, God forbid
that such noble fellow as King Rich
ard should march on foot" and sent
him noble charger.
The messenger took it and said:
'Sire, the sultan sends you this
charger that you may not be ON foot"
The king was as cunning as his enc
my and ordered one of his squires to
mount the horse in order to try him.
The squire obeyed, but the animal
proved fiery, and, the squire being un-
able to hold him in, he set off at full
speed to the sultan's pavilion. The
sultan expected he had got King Rich
ard and was not little mortified to
discover his mistake.
