ROUNDING UP FOR THE TRIAL
Pcttfbone Case VIII be Called Octo-
ber 2.

Charles II. Meyer arrived in Boise
yesterday noon and announced his in
tention of remaining in Idaho until
after the tril of George A. Pettibone,
charged with the murder of former
| Governor Frank Steunenberg, says
the Boise Statesman. Mr.. Meyer is
also under Indictment on the same
charge and is out on bail. He has
been in Denver most of the time since
released and he says his time will
| now be given for the coming trial of
| Pettibone set to begin on october 2.
Mrs. Meyer will follow him to Boise
/ later.
Mrs. Pettibone, after a five days
! absence in Denver, has returned and
will now be again a daily visitor to
| her husband at the Jail until the
trial.
Judge X. I. Perky stated yesterday
that he was expecting Clarence Dar-
| row here before this but had learned
| that Mr.. Darrow did not leave Chi
cago until August 2S. He thinks II
! probable that Mr.. Darrow will con-
| tinue right through to Portland
where he is billed to speak on Labor
day and that the Chicago attorney
will continue from there to Wallace
to attend to the interests of Steve Ad-
ans in his coming trial.
George A. Pettibone has now
nearly recovered from what promised
| TO be n very serious ILLNESS from
stomach trouble. The trouble, ac-
cording to the physicians who have
attended him. Like William D. Hay
wood and Charles H. Meyer, Petit
bone while in Jail took little interest
in physical exercise and spent the
/ time each day allotted to him for ex-
ercise in sitting under the trees In
conversation with his wife or in read
ing. Under the doctors orders he has
taken more exercise during the past
few weeks and is gradually regaining
his health.

have given this matter some con-
sideration, and there are several ways
to attempt to reach the evils through
appropriate remedial legislation.
First: In cases where by the terms
of the grant the corporation Is COM
PEELED to sell to applicants who are
actual settlers, the machinery of the
federal courts should be so set in mo-
tion to compel GALES to be made at
suit of a would-be purchaser.
Second: In cases where the grant
does not express terms compel sale,
congress might pass an act providing
for condemnation and payment to the
corporation of just compensation.
Third: Corporations, whether or
ganized for building railroads or wa
gon roads or any other purposes
where the buying and selling of lands
is not the primary object of their Gre
tion. ought not to be permitted to hold
land other than is absolutely essen
tial for immediate use.
Uniformity Of legislation for the
proper use and distribution of water
is another subject of vital interest
and it, too. is being neglected.
Another subject that has been 6
storm center of discussion for a few
years past and which is being more
appreciated as it is better understood
is forest protection. Its close rela
tionship to irrigation will doubtless
bring it prominently into the delibera
tions and discussions Of this congress

ENDORSES THE SYSTEM.
Stockman Enumerates Benefits OF
Pasture Reserves.

A. L. Macintosh, one of the lead
ing members CT the Macintosh
live stock company, who was in
Prineville Friday and Saturday of
last week, says the national forest
system is a good thing for at least
his business, no matter how other av-
ocations are affected, quotes the
Prineville Review. He claims the old
habit of running hither and yon in
search of the best range for sheep is
a thing of the past, the sheepmer
now being allotted their separate
ranges and doing all they can to
keep them in good condition one
summer so they will have good DANCE
the next.
The Macintosh Livestock COM
pany runs sheep each summer in the
Blue mountain forest and under the
rules takes care of its range os that
II may have the same one every year.
The fees are moderate, seven cents
head, and the range is well worth
the price. His report comes near
verifying the prediction made by for
estry officials that the stockman
would in 10 years bless the forest re-
serve

At a meeting of the school board
held at 5 o'clock saturday afternoon,
Prof. A. C. Hampton was chosen as
principal of the Pendleton high school
for the coming year. His selection
was made from among several appli-
cants and upon the recommendation
of Superintendent Landers.
Last year Prof. Hampton was prin-
cipal of the school at Moro, Sherman
county. and he had been elected as
vice president of The Dalles high
school for the coming year. He will
now resign that position to accept the
higher one here. He is a graduate of
the Monmouth normal school, having
finished there with the class of 1902.
He also attended the University of Or
egon for time.

Day OF the Plnin People.

We are living in the age of the av-
erage man. The history of our day
when written will not be the story OF
kings or conquorers. but 1t will be
portraiture of the plain people, the
leyeiing of humanity by the elevation
of the masses. Not that the dawn OF
a socialistic era can yet be discerned.
However reasonable the dicta of Karl
Marx, From each according to his
ability, to each according to his
needs" may be, the time Is not yet
ripe for its application. The work
of individualism is not yet ended.
The world needs vet the keen wits
and high industry which can only
come through the spur of rivalry and
competition, in order that undiscov-
cred resources and unseen powers OF
mature may be brought forth for
mans convenience and enjoyment.
The labor propaganda, power as 1t
Is. successful as It has been. can only
achieve its purposes with the SYM
pathy and support of that great mass
OF citizens who belong to neither of
the classes usually denominated cap
ital and labor, and they can be de-
pended upon in that array so long as
the uHions stand for the high pur-
pose of the great declaration 1 have
quoted, and maintain law and order.
Civilization is the reign of law, and
attacks upon constituted authority
will quickly ALLEVIATE the support of
the great independent class of which
! speak. They do not object to the
honest socialist, although they may
regard him as an idealist but 1t may
be your duty soon to eliminate from
your ranks because of stern necessity,
those men and women who seem
sometimes to color the labor fabric

Labor day was appropriately ceieppat-
ed.in this city today. manster parahe'
n delightful literary pragram and 'an
address by Judge stephen A. Loweii ot
Psndleton, being the chief features OF
the day. The eloquent address ny
-Iudge Lowell was the leading feature
and was attentively listened to by one
of the largest crowds ever assembled

Judge Lowell was heard at his best
ihIs address being as fnllows:

trades unions declared their purposes

yate moral and intellectual condl-
tions; and to establish the honor and
safety of industrial Hocations' Less
than three-quarters Of a century hat
since passed and that prononncemeh'
has been followed in the concrete
through the active instrumentality oi

stead act, the alien labor law, the
government eight-hour day, the estao'

food legislation; while through the
same instrumentality there appear
upon the statute books of the states
laws abolishing sweat shops, regulat'

THE T

The proposed development Of Berke-
ley Place should meet with the hearty
support Of the people Of Martinsburg.
This place. after it has been put in
condition by the parties who are pro-
noting the enterprise. will make a
most desirable residence section. Mar
tinsburg is in need of a strictly resi-
dental section, such as it Is proposed
to have on the old fair grounds.
Martinsburg is destined TO be a city
OF much larger proportions in the flu
ture. The development that will so on
In the next few years is bound to at
tract a great many people to the city,
such that people Of all classes can
come here and find some employment.
Not only is Martinsburg a desirable
place for the laboring man, but the
climate is such that 1t has many at
fractions for those who wish a place
in which to make their home, regard
less of a special vocation. This fact
is attested by the many who conn
here every year to spend several
months. They find the surroundings
pleasant and the roads are such that
IL they enjoy outdoor life they find
much pleasure in the scenery and
j drives through the county.
The development of the city is
something that every citizen should re-
gard as a step of advancement in the
right direction.

IMPROVED GAS.

The gas company is making some
improvements at the plant in this city,
according 10 information which is CIV
en in the news columns today. If the
plans of the company are carried out
it may bring relief to a suffering pub
lie. For two years or more we have
been promised better things by tn
company, but as yet they have failed
TO materialize. The pressure of gas
is not adequate to supply the demand.
The flow is irregular and the heating
power of the gas cannot be depended
upon. There are times when it seems
as though there is no heat in the gas
at an and you can burn all you have
and then not have heat eno~~s to
boil your coffee. At other times You
can get all the heat you want from
the same burner, On complaint of this
to the company they will inform you
that your supply pipe is not large
enough. If the conditions at your
home remain the same, and your sup
ply of gas varies, the blame must be
put same place else than there. When
you pay $3.50 for gas you should get
gas, and get good gas. We sincerely
hope that the improvements will come
as promised, and that right soon.
