When the Pendleton securing mills
closed down today after five
months run, they not only closed the
most successful season in their his
tory, but one in which they were the
most important factor in making
Pendleton the largest wool shipping
point west OF the Mississippi.
During the present year the wool
shipments of this city have amounted
to over 100000 pounds. This rec
ord is not equalled by any other point
IN the west. not even excepting San

OF the Elgn country, most OF the Ar
lington wool and considerable from
Heppner and Shaniko. But every
pound was shipped from this city.
During the season OF five months
which Is brought to a close today, the
securing mills have handled more
wool than any concern in the west
and have employed an average Of so
people each of whom draws an aver
age OF $50 per week in wages and
salaries. or an average total of $1,000
per week for 90 weeks paid out to
the workers of this city. During that
time the mills have sorted and scour-
ed 5000, 900 pounds Of wool and grad
ed and baled 100000 pounds, the
latter Including all the product of the
wallowa country, which was shipped
here for that purpose.
In addition to the 100000 pounds

Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson,
hero of the Merrimac and congress-
man from Alabama, will be here
Tuesday evening to speak in behalf
OF William ]. Bryans candidacy for
president.
News to this effect was received
this afternoon by Will NJ. Peterson.
democratic county chairman, from
Alex Sweek, state manager for the
democrats. 1t came 40 welcome news
for ever since 1t became known that
Hobson was to speak in oregon 1t has
been greatly desired to have him
here.
Captain Hobson is one of the most
fcrcible, clear-cut speakers in the
county and because of his brilliant
naval record and his ardent cham
pionship of a greater navy he is al
ways received with interest. While
here upon his lecturing tour last
spring he spoke to a packed house
at the Methodist church and held the
close attention of his audience for
several hours.
Being an Alabaman Congressman
Hobson is a democrat by heredity and
instinct as well as from principle.
During the present campaign he has
been doing effective work for Bryan
and Kern.
The court house has been secured
for the rally Tuesday night and the
room will doubtless be crowded for
the occasion. The theater building
would have been secured but for the
fact that it is taken that night for
THE Clansman."
