William Hilton of This City Is Placed
In Charge of All the Balfour- Guth-
rie Warchouses-Eas Been En-
ployed by the Company for 10
Ycars-New Position Is n Tribute
10 Mr.. HlltOn's Abilky.

William Hilton OF this city, who
has been employed in the construc-
ton department of the Balfour-Guth-
rie company of Portland for the past
10 years, has just been promoted to
the position of warehouse superin-
tendent and will have charge of all
the warehouses owned by this large
grain exporting company.
Mr. Hilton has had charge OF the
construction Of all the new ware
houses for this company in the in
land empire for a number of years
and his promotion TO the position Of
general superintendent of warehouses
comes as a deserved tribute to his
long experience in this line of work.
The work of his new position will
keep Mr.. Hilton away from home a
great deal Of the time as the ware
houses belonging to this company are
scattered all over the northwest and
new houses are being erected each
season. He is now in the Lewiston
country where he has superintended
the construction OF six new buildings

EUGENE'S BOND ISSUE.
Company Purchasing City Bond Issue
says Ii Was Illegal.

Morris & Co., the bond firm whose
bid on Eugene's city bonds was ac-
cepted. have declared in a letter to
Mayor Matlock that the procedure in
the election authorizing the bonds was
Illegal, in that one election to cover
three amendments to the charter in
validated the whole issue and that
they will not take the issue, says an
item from Eugene Attorney A, C.
Woodcock and City Attorney Bean
both declare the bonds are legal.
a big fight is on between the oppo-
nents Of the municipal system, and the
adherents over the Ritchey creek plan
which latter project the council has
sanctioned. The failure of the Morris
company to take the 100000 issue Is
considered a sklrmish won by the op-
ponents to the gravitatlon plan.
Those who are opposing the coun-
Gil and the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the bond election last fall
want a battery Of wells dug across the
river and the water pumped into res
ervoirs. They also claim that Ritchey
creek, the proposed fountain head OF
the gravity system. Is not a good
source and that the watershed is easi-
ly contaminated.
The fight will be ended october 1,
when the people will have a chance
to vote on the Issuing of 100000
worth of bonds to build the water
system, 100000 having been found
too small.

WANT IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Washington Towns Can't Agree on
Convention Point.

A breach in the campaign Of the
national irrigation congress has oc-
CURED in the inland empire, says the
Spokane Chronicle. Instead OF Spo-
kane going after the big convention
as the representative of the inland
empire another rival has entered the
field and walla walla is now after
the plum.
A campaign has been started in
that city for the congress next year,
and the member of the Spokane
chamber OF commerce are commenc-
ing take notice. About $500 has
been appropriated by the local Body
for preliminary campaign expenses,
It has been arranged to send several
speakers from this city to spell bind
at Albuquerque, and in addition to
this a special car of select fruit was
to be sent for display and dlstribu-
tion among the delegates
The governors of the various states
have been written to in order to se-
cure the names OF delegates in ad-
vance that the campaign may be
started early and the delegates tuned
up to the campaign song. Spokane,

Who VIII They Support?
wenatchee, and It was supposed
North Yakima, are cooperating with
Spokane for the congress, but now, at
the last moment, Walla Walla not
only declines to boost with Spokane
but has started a campaign of its
own and there is friction in the
ranks.

promises to continue from now until
the entire output has been handled,
late in the fall.
Owing to the fact that the Northern
Pacific taps the Eureka Flat country
and also the Dayton territory, most
o. the conslgnments already made,
have been sent over that line.
Last week several thousand bushels
day were sent from Dayton, accord
ing to reports brought to this office
from that city yesterday. In almost
every case the quality of wheat was
good and the yield better than had
been expected earlier In the season.

Land Contests Plentiful.

Contests over lands that have been
taken up under the timber and stone
act are becoming numerous in Baker
county, and in every one the contest
is based upon the allegation that the
land is more valuable for its mineral
than timber and stone. 1t is only re-
Gently that such is the case, but min
eral lands are being sought for and
protected more now than ever before

OLD FIRE SCENES
At DISTRICT FAIR
COUNCILMAN ELL HAS
A FINE EXHIBIT.
Photographs Of the Historic Fires OF
Pendleton Will Grace the Fire
Booth" at the Coming District
Fair-Pictures of All the Veteran
FIremen of the City VIII Be Shown.

Joe Ell, city councilman and form
er fire chief of Pendleton, is arrang-
ing an exhibit for the coming district
fair and it will be one of the most
unique and interesting booths TO be
seen at that time. From an historical
standpoint his display will be un,
equalled, for it consists of photos
gathered during his long residence in
the city.
Pictures showing all the important
fires that have occurred in Pendleton
during the past 90 years have been
gathered by Councilman Ell and these
will be arranged in order about the
booth, each one accompanied by
brief account of the fire.
Among the views are pictures
showing the burning of the old By
ers mill in 1879: the destruction Of
the Willard house in 1885, the old
Golden Rule hotel, in 1899, and other
historical conflagrations.
Aside from these there are many
other local historical pictures in the
exhibit. These show early day scenes
in Pendleton at Umatilla and other
points in the county all of them of
intense interest, especially to old
timers
Besides the Pendleton fire pictures
Mr.. Ell has gathered a monster coll
lection OF photographs showing fire |
scenes in other places of the United /!
States. He has a fine large photo

through the Alberta country where he
found harvest in progress Wheat
yielded well there this season. Many
fields harvested so far show from 80
to 40 bushels, of 6S-pound wheat, ac-
cording to Mr.. Johnson, and the farm

prosperous year all through the north.

RUNNING A BIG CIRCUS.
Barnum and Bailey's Use 5000 Pan
cakes for Breakfast.

The strangest and perhaps the lar
gest hotel in the world is built OF can
vas and is part of the equipment of
the Barnum and Bailey greatest show
on earth, says the Oregon Daily Jour-
nal. The 1900 employees of the cir
Gus eat three meals a day there. At
one breakfast it Is not unusual to
bake 5000 pancakes, while $50 gal
Ions OF coffee. GOO pounds OF pork
chops,12 pounds OF butter, 25 gall
Ions of milk and 10 bushels Of pota-
toes are consumed at the same meal.
The kitchen is fitted with all the ap-
pliances of modern hotel.
Some idea Of the magnitude of this
great circus may be found in the fact
that it travels on five trains, the COM
bined length Of which lacks but few
feet of being two miles. When the
2S tents are erected II acres of
ground are under canvas. II all the
horses were driven at one time en-
tandem the team would be almost
three miles long. Twenty-eight ma
tionalities are represented among the
performers. The circus has played in
every city of size in all of Europe and
in a single season travelled approx
mately $4,000 miles.

the greatest fire e-fighter in the city,

He is an enthusiastic fireman and
says that even now he would rather
fight a fire than eat" Since he has

now the chairman of that body As
such he has always been keen in look

fault.

this insect begins operations and has
proved Itself great nuisance by get
ting into peoples eyes. II is 80 small
1t cannot be seen, but II is not small
enough not to be felt The pain caused
TO the eyes is Of a peculiar character.
When one Of these insects has got into
the eye it causes an itching sensation
that is extremely painful and some-
times the eye becomes inhamed.a
Many persons have spoken Of these
insects and wondered whore they come
from. Late IN the afternoon they ap-
pear to come out in force and do not
disappear until the approach Of dark
ness
The warm weather of the past few
days has brought back 10 life the
army Of uies supplemented by many
hundreds OF others from realms un-
known. Housewives have been an
noyed by the pest even more so than
in the midst Of summer The only in
sect that seems TO have been COM
pletely knocked out by the cold spell Of
the first Of the month is the mosquito.
But II this warm weather keeps up for
much longer it viii not be surprising
TO see him bob up again ready for
business.
