THE suPERANNUAT1oN CLAUSE.
Senate Expected to Complete the
Work of the House.

The Legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill will be taken up by
the appropriate subcommittee Of the
Senate appropriation committee tomor-
row morning, and it is thought sonie
action will then be taken on the amend
ed experimentation clause affecting
government clerks in the local depart
ments which is feature Of the House
bill.
1t is generally understood at the Capt.
toll that this part of the bill will as
usual be so changed as to be unrecog-
nizable when the Senate gets through
with 1t. The House committee provision
was robbed CT nearly all Of its sting
when the House got to work OF 1t. and
there appears to be no doubt that the
Senate will complete the work.

of the state and is in popular demand
for addresses to various organizations.
He is the only one of the trio who can

DOLLY WARDEN" PLEASED.
San Francisco Opera Company Closes
Its Engagement i'm Pendleton.

Dainty Dolly, Dolly Warden" was
the attraction with which the popu-
lar San Francisco opera company,
closed its engagement at the oregon
theater Saturday night. While the
piece compelled Teddy Webb to be
content with a comparatively minor
part and gave him no opportunity
for the inimitabe humor which
has made him such a favorite with
Pendleton audiences, yet the opera
was one of the best seen in the city
this season.
The costumes were fetching, the
stately old dances, on the style of the
Virginia reel, were refreshing to say
the least. The music though well
known to many, was as tuneful and
catchy as ever, this being especially
true Of the Lay of the Jay" and
dolly Warden"
The San Francisco Opera company,
while not large, is one of the best
balanced that has ever appeared here
and will be sure of a warm reception
whenever the management may desire
to bring it back.

W. H. Manss, representing the
Chicago commercial bodies pushing
the national wool storage proposition
for their city, and the Chicago men
interested in the movement have
awakened to the fact that their cause
is not meeting with success in Utah,
saws the salt Lake Republican. This
has been made known by correspond
ence received by prominent Utah wool
men. The letters frankly admit that
something is wrong, and ask for meet
ings for the purpose of arranging
suitable campaign.
With the letters comes the implied
admission that Fred Gooding, presl-
dent of the National Woolgrowers' as
sociation. and his few intimate friends
have failed to swing the wool men
of the west into line with the Chicago
storage movement, which consumma-
ton the Chicago people seemed 10
think was assured when the move
ment was started
1t is further apparent that the chi
cago movement and bright-hued pros
pect promised for It are meeting with
a certain degree of reverse and that
a lively campaign is needed to inure
its success, particularly in Utah.
From statements Of extensive Utah
growers It is further apparent that the
proposition will not meet with their
support unless the terms OF the ware
house agreement are amended in ac-
cordance with the promises made by
w II Manss. As the matter now
stands scarcely one Of the promises
made have materialized into binding
agreements leaving only the opportu-
nifty for the growers to contribute
largely to the building Of an immense
warehouse and then finding them-
selves at the end Of three years out the
amount contributed.
With the growing opposition 70

the ride OF favor Is turning toward
Omaha where contracts were proposed
which gave the growers at least an
equal chance with the Omaha promo

one advantage TO the growers
caused by the storage movement has
been seen IN the better prices offered
by the commission buyers who despite
their assertions 10 the contrary are
doing everything possible to mead

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
 SOFIA EDITORS.
What They Think of Western Canada

A party of editors from number of cities and towns of Minnesota recently made a tour of Western Canada, and having returned to their homes they are now telling in their respective newspapers of what they saw on their Canadian trip. The West St. Paul Times recalls the excursion of the Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re ferriEg to what has happened in the interval the writer says: Thousands of miles Of new railway lines have been built, and the development of the country has made marvellous strides. Millions of acres, then lying in their wild and untouched state, have since beer transferred into grain fields. Towns have sprung up as if by the wand of a magician, and their development is now in full progress. It Is revelation, record of conquest by settlement that is remarkable"
 The Hutchinson Leader character. iZes Western Canada as "a great coun- try undeveloped. The summer out ing" it says. was an eye-opener to every member of the party, even those who were on the excursion through Western Canada ten years ago. over considerable of the territory covered this year, being amazed at the prog ress and advancement made in that short space of time. The time will come when Western Canada will be the bread basket of the world. It was a delightful outing through great country of wonderful possibil- ities and resources"
 Since the visit of these editors the Government has revised it's land regu- lations and it is now possible to se- cure 160 acres of wheat land at $500 an acre in addition to the 160 acres that may be homesteaded.
 The crops of 1908 have been splen. did, and reports from the various dis tricts show good yields, which at pres ent prices will give excellent profits to the farmers.
 From Milestone, Saskatchewan, there are reported yields of thirty bush- els of spring wheat to the acre, while the average is about 20 bushels. The quality of grain to be shipped from this point will be about 600,000 bush els. Information regarding free lands and transportation will be freely given by the Canadian Government Agents.
