hearted whole souled, liberal minded
man with no family of his own. He
did it because he loves to do good for
others. He did it because his gener-
Gus nature prompted him to do 1t.
His reward was in the joy of the lit
tie boy over his new suit.
Since that instance he has fitted
out half a dozen deserving children
at his own expense and without any
desire for notoriety. Consequently he
is the most popular man with the
"kids" in Pendleton and is known to
all of them and loved by all of them.
He says that his religion is to love
children and do kindnesses for them.
Mr.. Hewitt is a farmer about so
years of age and has resided in the
Helix district for the past 80 years. He
owns a fine ranch, in partnership with
brother, Jay, near Helix and enjoys
good income. He has no family
and lives most of the time in PEN
dleton, although he spends some time
in Baker City and La Grande each
year.
His return to Pendleton is always
a source of joy to a large number Of
children who know him and are de-
lighted by his stories.

Pendleton

George Hewitt is in Pendleton
again.
Every kid" who reads the East
Oregonian will be delighted with this
news. for George Hewitt is the great
est and most popular "kid" man in
Umatilla county or eastern oregon.
Every "kid" knows him and loves
him. And when he walks down the
street, in one of his characteristically
happy moods, every "kid" in sight
follows him, wondering just what
George is going to do as surprise to
his procession of little friends.
George Hewitt. the pioneer bache-
lor farmer Of Helix, is one of the most
unique figures in Umatilla county
and aside from his one fault, the love
of the flowing bowl, Is one OF the
most lovable and companionable men
in the county.
For this reason the East Oregonian
believes that he is worth a separate
and distinct story. A brief sketch
of him will please his hundreds OF

to the publicity.
The reason the children love George
Hewitt 50 fondly Is that he Is always
doing something for some child. He
is either giving them money or pres
ents and takes delight in their de-
light.
AS an illustration Of his way of do
ing things: A few months ago ne
was on the streets of Pendleton and
spied a poorly clad little boy, perhaps
10 years OF age, waiting at store door
for his father The appearance OF
the ragged little fellow struck George
Hewitt and he at once began making
Inquiries OF the child. 1t was found
that he was sheepherder's boy; that
his mother was dead and that he
lived with his father and enjoyed but
few luxuries.
That was enough for George Hew-
lit. He took the boy into a store and
bought him clothing. from the hide

caps, gloves, handkerchief. every
thing complete. at cost Of about
$25.
But Hewitt was repaid for his out
lay in the Joy OF his little friend. He
did It simply because he is tender

E T Bethel, British subject, VINO
has been publishing a paper in ko-

ish court appointed under order OF
the privy council.
Bethel is charged with spreading

oialIy sent from Shanghai by the
British government at the suggestion
OF Ambassador Mcdonald at TOXIC
Paper Was Responsible.
The prosecution said that 1t would
prove that the publications in Beth
els vernacular newspaper was large
ly responsible for all the disturbances
in Korea. N. Miura asserted that
the Korean government exists only
subject to the direction of Japan. He
further said that he believed that
there we're 10000 troops now in Ko-
rea and that half the country was
disturbed. Consequently the publica-
tions were creating a false impression
regarding the real intentions Of the
Japanese government, increasing the
difficulties OF the government and
causing much bloodshed.
Refused Jury Trial.
c. NJ. Cross, a lawyer from Kobe
who is defending Bethel, asked for
Jury trial, which Judge st. Bourne
refused. Cross contended thai
no Japanese control existed over Ko-
rea. that the Korean emperor was
supreme in domestic affairs and thai
therefore Governor Miura could moi
prosecute Bethel
The first day of the trial was taken
up with opening statement OF the
case. The case is attracting much at

There Will Be No WernIe Day
This Year, Says the
Rev. Feeger.
IMPROVEMENTS INTERFERE
ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AS ADS
APPOINTMENT TO THE MANY
WHO ENJOYED THE OCCASIONS.

"Wernle Day" will not be observed
this year for the first time in over
twenty-five years. This announcement
was made this morning by the Rev.
A. J. Feeger, pastor of the St. JOhn's s
Lutheran church and one of the trus-
tees of Wernle Home.
The Rev. Mr.. Feeger stated that it
was found necessary this year to post
pOne the annual OlF,ervalNe e of Wernle
Home Day, which has SO long been
associated with the history Of Rich
mond, because Of the generally torn
up" condition of the place, occasiOned
by the Improvements now being made.
Another reason why Wernle Day will
not be observed is because the inSti-
tuition has no house father. The trus-
tees of the home recently offered this
position to F. f. Gahre of GlenvilIe,
Neb. but he has not yet accepted the
offer. 1t is thought, however, that he
will decide to accept it,
Every year it has been the custom
to observe Wernle Day in the most
enthusiastic manner. 1t was general
ly the first Sunday in June. On this
day all the railroads and traction
lines entering the city brought in hun
dreds of people from all over this
part of the country. The c., G. & l..
run special trains from this city to the
grounds and every hack in the city
was placed in commission to assist in
transporting the crowds to the Home.
Hundreds of people were served meals
on the grounds and the programs were
always one of great interest The lit
tie orphans at the home always looked
forward to this event with the keen
est anticipation. 1t was the biggest
day of the year for them. When the
children were told that there would
be no Wernle Day this year. they were
the most disappointed young people in
Wayne county.
The work on the construction of the
new dOrmitOry will not be started un-
til the building fund has been entirely
raised.
The Rev. Mr.. Feeger stated that it
was desired to raise $50. 900 for the
construction of this building and he
said that he thought this amount
would be secured within six or eight
weeks.
