4. on exhibit and get a premium. The
fair is educational and the county
and state are paying out large sums
to disseminate agricultural and hor-
ticultural information. viii you do
your part in this great work.
Every farmer in the county could
bring in one or a dozen sheaves OF
grain. This would be sufficient to
make the pavilion a dream of beauty.
And It would be such a small matter.
Just think of each farmer bringing in
one sheaf of wheat, Every mans
name could be placed upon his ex-
hibit and he would not only make an
exhibit Of his product, but he would
help decorate.
Think of this, It is up to you. The
fair commission, the county court, the
state are all doing their parts. But
they cannot make a fair without the
individual cooperation of the farm
ers. You are the key to the success
ful fair.
II there is anything you want to
know write in to Secretary Thomas
Fitz Gerald or President c. e. Roose-'
welt of the fair commission. Send in
for a premium list and study it up
SO you will know when and how to
enter your exhibit. And then enter it.
This is a home institution and the
are the people.

II. The former, which is the cleaver-
er animal of the two, will earn as
much as $500 per week. Consul II
is generally booked at $3.50 per week,
while Esau, another of Mr.. Bostock's
wonderful chimpanzees, appears at
$4OO.
These animals are most difficult to
rear, elephants tigers and lions.
which cost anywhere from $1,000 to
$25OO each, being also very suspect-
Bile to climatic changes. They fully
repay the care and attention which
must be bestowed upon them, how
ever.
Mr.. Bostock, for instance, has d.
mnutive elephant for which he has
been offered sums varying from $4,000
to $4,000. all OF which he has refus-
ed. This is the smallest performing
elephant in the world and earns from
S4OO to $500 per week Another
troupe of elephants earn from $3.50
to 1925 per week, a groupe of tigers
from $500 to $3.50, while a groupe of
lions brings in as much as $1,000 per
week.

VALUE OF TRAINED ANIMALS.

Barnum used to say that only one
elephant, lion or monkey in six which
he purchased brought him any profit,
and other showmen make similar
complaints.
The most aggravating part of the
business is, however, that often when
an animal has been trained, seems to
be thoroughly used to foreign clim-
ates and is repaying some of the
money his owner has spent on its pur-
chase and rearing It suddenly dies.
Take the case of Consul, for in
stance, Mr.. Bostock's remarkable
chimpanzee. which died some time
ago in Berlin. This animal was in
sured for $125,OOO and was earning
from $500 to $3.50 a week when 1t
died. Furthermore, Mr.. Bostock had
booked contracts for It to appear at
a price of $500 per week.
Luckily. Mr. Bostock was able to
discover two other exceptionally fine
specimens Of the chimpanzee tribe,
which he named Consul and Consul

Umatilla county. They get what they
want here,
Sheepbuyers come here in the
spring and summer to buy feeders

ers make this their headquarters dur
ing the season because they get in
touch with every sheepman in eastern
oregon from this city.
People come here for merchandise
because they find the largest stocks
IN the state outside of Portland, and
il pays to trade here. They come
here for school because 1t pays to
come here to educate their families.
They come here for farm supplies be-
cause it is the farming implement
center of eastern oregon. They come
here to buy railroad and steamer
tickets because it is the railroad CEN
ter of eastern Oregon.
People will always come here for
these reasons. Pendleton is so situ-
ated in eastern Oregon that she will
also hold the key to the commercial,
banking, market and industrial situ-
alton of this vast tributary territory.
No matter for prohibition or sa-
Icons, people will always come to
Pendleton in increasing numbers as
the population OF the surrounding
country increases. And as the busi-
ness of the city increases the facili-
ties which she will have to offer her
patrons will increase and so from
year to year there will be multiply

THE FARMER AND THE TRAMP.

A farmer, who was a deacon In the
church and said grace before meals
and held family worship every even
ing before retiring. hired tramp to
work in his fields.
The tramp was inclined to be pro-
fame, and while plowlng when a root
would strike his shlns would vent his
anger in an oath. The farmer pro-
tested. The obsequious tramp prom
ised not to do so again, but when
something got wrong with the har-
ness he unthinkingly swore again.
The farmer again chided him,
whereupoh the tramp said:
Deacon, you know l sometimes
swear a little, and sometimes you
pray, but God knows neither Of as

TO MEET THE ISSUE.
= +++++++**++++++ 4

Assessor c. P. Strain of Umatilla
county, is acting wisely in making up
his assessment roll for the year with
cut entering the values of the assess
ments. This will give him an oppor-
tunity TO protect the taxpayers of the
county no matter how the Galloway
decision as to the unconstitutionality
of the tax law is passed upon by the
supreme court.
It may be that full valuations may
be entered on the rolls without in
jury to Umatilla county property
holders or it may be that half
third or fourth valuation may be en-
tered No matter how the supreme
court decides, or what the situation
after the case is fairly decided, Una
tilla county people are protected and
the county will pay but its just and
eQultdDle snare OI taxes.
Should Assessor Strain go ahead
and enter full values with each assess
ment, it might result in an excessive
state tax for Umatilla county, but he
is willing to perform the extra labor
and take this extra precaution to full
ly protect the interests of the coun-
ty.
C. p. Strain is an assessor that is
an assessor. The taxpayers of the
county owe him a debt Of gratitude
for his careful and honest admins

measured in dollars and cents.

COMPOSITION ON PANTS.

Pants are made for men and not
for women. Women are made for
men, and not for pants. When a
man pants for a woman, and a wo-
man pants for a man, they are a pair
of pants. Such pants don't last.
Pants are like molasses-they are
thinner in hot weather, and thicker
in cold. Men are often mistaken in
pants; such mistakes are breeches of
promise. There has been much dis
cussion whether pants is singular or
plural Seems to us when men wear
pants it is plural, and when they
don't wear any it is singular. Men
go on a tear in their pants,and 1t is
all right; when the pants go on tear
1t is all wrong. If you want to make
pants last, make the coat first.

DIR .COE ON CRIME.

Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, editor of the
Medical Sentinel of Portland, and
member of the Furnish-Coe Irrigation
company of this county, writes enter
tainlngly of the treatment of crime
in the last issue of the Sentinel. He
calls crime a disease and advocates
treatment of it on this basis. In his
editorial article he says:
The world has been so exceedingly
busy during the past fifty years of ex-
ceptional development that it has not
been able to keep pace with the needs
of humanity in dealing with criminal
life. Medicine and surgery have
made great strides forward. The
world of invention has progressed as
never in any preceding five decades
The patent office has been crowded
with work in an unprecedented fash
ion. Business methods have engaged
the attention of the best brains OF the
world. Railroad management, elec-
trical development. the work of the
steam engine on sea and land-these
have been the great engines of pro-
gress thai have had the greatest
amount OF attention.
Here and there men with exception
al minds have taken time to write
great poems, stirring plays, operas,
symphonies, prose works, and some
great pictures have been painted.
Great performers on musical instru-
ments have developed their skill;
great singers have arisen to delight
the busy men and women of the age.
But alas the sickness of the criminal
the sickness that makes him crimi-
nal-has been unstudied. He has been
caught and Gagged, when possible.
Generally, he has gone unpunished.
There is something wrong with the
mental process of a bright man who
would rather commit crime than not,
We all know men who, If they ex-
pended their skill in lines of honest
endeavor, would make something for
themselves and their families; but
they would rather do wrong than
right, and they drift into the crimi-
nal class.
The nation, which spends millions
OF dollars a year on its criminals,
could well afford to have a depart
ment whose business it would be to
study the disease Of crime. We need
moral health officers, as well as the
other kind. The science is undevel-
oped. There is much in it that has
never been ascertained, partly be-
cause the world has been too busy.
The theologlans have touched the
outskirts of the question only. They
have occasionally assisted in the good
work Of curing a man sick with
crime, and have turned his energies
into useful channels. They have
worked a kind of mental or spiritual
cure on him.
But no scientific efforts have been
put forth that we have ever heard of,
looking to an exhaustive treatise on
the subject. The criminal usually
does not want to be cured Of his
criminality. But instead of permit
ting him to go at large to commit
more crime, as is done with the peni-
tentiary inmate, when his term Is
over, he should be cured of his Grim
inality If possible.
The youth of the land who are af-
flicted with criminal tendencies,
should be treated for their mental
disease before they are given a chance
to go forth and commit murder, burg
larry, and the other crimes that a GER

Three Straight to Their Credit.

The Virginia team took three
straight heats from the Plymouth
alleged ball team on Friday, Satur.
day and Sunday last, the first game
being called on account of rain at
the close of the third, the score at
that early stage standing 4 to 0 and
proving to the VirSinias that their
opponents were easy marks. Satur-
days game resulted in a score of
8 to 2, but the Sunday game, with a
score of 20 to @, capped the climax
and emphasized the true standing
of the visitors when pitted against
a team which had passed the corner
lot stage.
Weather permitting, Virginia and
Eveleth will play at the Roosevelt
park on Saturday and Sunday, and
there is no need telling the fans the
games will be worth the price. Two
games at Evelet'l. with the umpire
as the tenth man on the team, re-
suited IN victories for Evcleth by
narrow margins. The visitors, how
ever, will get a square deal on the
Virginia grounds, and interest in
the grlne will not suffer thereby.

First Through Train to Winnipeo.

The first through train from Du-
luth to Winnipeg via the Duluth,
Rainy Lake & Winnipeg R'y passed
through Virginia Sunday evening
last, being transferred from the Du.
luth. Missabe & Northern to the
tracks of the new line at this point
The new train is full vestibule
comprising combination cafe and
observation car, sleeper, two day
coaches, smoker, and mail, baggage
and express car. Leaving Duluth
at 800 the train reaches this point
at 6:2O, where the combination cafe
and observation car and SLEEPER
are transferred to the line of the
Duluth & Rainy Lake road, leaving
here at ITO for Rainier and Fort
Frances. AT the latter point the
through cars are transferred to the
Canadian Northern line, reaching
Winnipeg at 9:2O a. IN.
The new service forms the short
est and quickest service from Chi
cago and the Twin Cities to Winni
peg and the Canadian northwest
and is destined to receive a pleas.

Sinking two Steel Shafts.

The Oliver Iron Mining Company
is this season doing a great amount
of preparatory work at the Norman
mine. sinking two steel-head shafts
and erecting fine power houses and
installing machinery preparatory
to the development and active op-
Grafton of the mine. Shaft No. l is
now down to the ore body, and No.
2 has attained a depth of 35 feet. An
enormous body of high grade ore
has been proven on the Norman,
and the evident intent of the COM
pany to work the property on an
extensive scale is pleasing to Vir-
ginians, meaning the employment
of many additional men in this dis
trict.
The Oliver company also has a
number of drills employed in prov.
ing up the ore body on the Shaw
property just east OF the Missabe
depot.

mine, asking the recipients to pro-
pose one or more names for the

by the mine management for the
! use OF Its employees. many names
were proposed, bat that submitted
by y. NJ. Wessin1cr, the architect

accepted. The selection was made
by Mr.. T. i. Cole.: the president Of
the Oliver company.
In the letter proposing the name
Mr.. Wesainger says:
"IOur letter Of April 3rd at hand
and III regards to the suggestion
for name for Your club house, |
would submit the following from
an architects point of view.
1 considtrthat ~ composite name
would be very desirable for the
club house. based upon the follow
ing assumptions: IN an architectur.
al composition we consider three
important subjects before the plans
are drawn: first, the D5Iace where the
huilding is to be constructed, as
this materially affects the design;
second, the men who conceive the
idea of building the b9ilding and
through whose influence the work
is done; third, the reason for the
building, or the purpose for which
it is intended. Acting upon the
above assumption, l fad that the
first would be Mount Iron, this be-
ing the place where the building il
built; second, find Mr.. NJ. s. Haw.
kins, as he is the man who conceiv.
ed the idea and through whose in
tluenCe the building was built; third
we have Nine, the purpose for which
the building was built being for the
benefit Of the employees of this mine
In order to make Il composite word
for this club house, ! would now
take the first two letters from each
subject; for in-tnrre, from Noun,

from Mine ! would take "Ni," the
resultant word being "N0hami;" the

welt Park for the removal of the
fence surrounding the ball park
will be held at the Roosevelt build.
ing tomorrow evening.
This meeting has awakened an
unusual amount of interest, either
side of the proposition seemingly
having ardent supporters. The re-
moval of the fence, however, would
doubtless mean the death knell OF
semi professional ball in this city
and we therefore look forward to a
vote adverse to the petitioners.
