With the legend Third Eastern
oregon District Fair" painted in
flaming colors on the wagon cover,
the first advertising wagon ever sent
out by the Umatilla-M Morrow county
fair was started on a 250-mile ad-
vertising tour this morning in charge
Of Harry Norwood.
The fair advertising wagon will
make a circle Of the two counties,
Including Pilot Rock, Albee Ukiah,
Vinson, Upper Butter Creek. Hepp-
ner Lexington lone, Cecil Irrigon,
Umatilla, Hermiston and Echo, trav-
cling in a complete circle through
the southern portion of Umatilla and
over the central portion Of Morrow
county, distributing circulars and
premium lists, posting UP Autographs
and hanging canvas banners on trees,
fence posts and telephone posts,
where they will call the attention Of
travellers to the big fair 10 be held
in Pendleton September 2S-October
8, 1908.
This is the beginning Of the 1908
advertising campaign for The district
fair, and will be continued until af-
ter the fair opens on September 2S.
The papers of Umatilla and Morrow
counties are urged to give the fair
all the publicity possible. as it means
more to the agricultural horticultu-
raj and livestock interests of these
counties than can be told in a brief
newspaper article.
The advertising wagon will carry
too kinds of advertising literature for
the fair and will distribute the prem
ium lists to farmers interested and
will also make arrangements for the
collection of exhibits. 1t is expected
that it will take three weeks to make
the circuit of the two counties. but
the work will be done thoroughly,
and every community in these two
counties will be made 10 know that a
fair is to be held here this fall.
Another wagon will be started
north in a few days to cover the
northern portion of Umatilla county.
and in this way every section of the
two counties will be thoroughly bill
ed and the fair will be brought to
the attention of the remotest settle
ments.
Farmers having exhibits Of any
kind, whether agricultural horticul-
tural or live stock are urged to list
them and see that they are on exhi-
btion 1t is up to the individual
farmers of the counties to make the
fair a success The commission is
doing everything in its power to
make it a success, hut the commits
sion must have the cooperation of
the farmers

LABOR TO FIGHT CANNON.
VIII Try to ReIegate Uncle Joe to
Private Life.

Without blare of trumpets or roll
of drums, but by gumshoe methods,
the labor forces of the country are
preparing silently and stealthily to
center their political battle in this
! congressional district. For weeks
the political lieutenants of President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor have infested the
district, making inquiries, conduct
ing investigations and analyzing the
political atmosphere As a result, it
is declared that the signs are propit-
ious and that another warfare will be
waged, with the object of relegating
"Uncle Joe" Cannon to private life.
The labor union politicians are not
particular as to Cannon's successor
They would prefer a candidate favor
able to unionism, but would Willingly
accept foe of labor if thereby Speak
er Cannon could be. made a perma-
nent resident of Danville. In the eyes
of Gompers, the Danville statesman is
the biggest barnacle on the ship of
state, and the command has gone
forth that he must be removed at all
cost.
There is a big labor vote in this
district. and the union men declare
that the outlook for the defeat of
Cannon is more favorable than it
ever was before. Republican politi-
cal leaders, however, scoff at the
idea that Cannon can possibly be de-
feated, and assert that Uncle Joe is
safe in his berth as long as he will
accept it and that nothing short Of
death or voluntary retirement can
remove him from the political arena.

the candid opinion OF Hyman II. CO.
hen, market editor of the oregon
Daily Journal, who came down this
morning from Walla Walla after a
tour Of the wheat belt
"There Is no cause for complaint
at this years crop" said Mr.. Cohen
TO the East Oregonian this morning
"as the higher prices will bring the
farmers more money than they re-
ceived from laset years bumper
crop. Market conditions and the ex-
port trade are such right now that
everything points to 90-cent wheat
this season, but when II nears the 90
cent mark IL | had a wheat crop I
should Immediately let go at that
high mark, as the market will neces-
sarily be uncertain and shaky after
passing the s5-cent mark"
Mr. Cohen has been through the
wheat belt OF Morrow. Gillian. Una
tilla and Walla Walla counties. and
finds the cream OF the crop In Uma-
tlla and Walla Walla counties
In Morrow county many thousands
OF acres will not be cut at all, while
but little Of the crop In either Una
tilla or walla walla counties will be
too light to harvest.
at is a most surprising spectacle" :"
said Mr. Cohen, "to see such an
abundant crop where there has been
but little moisture. In Umatilla coun-
~ find there has been no rain dur
ing the growing season, and yet the
land is yielding almost normally. OF
course 1t is somewhat below last
years phenomenal crop. but II is
almost average.
"The sharp competition In the mar
ket and the bitter rivalry among the
big grain buying companies and ex-
porters are the causes of the advance
in prices. Then there is world
wheat shortage, also, and all these
conditions justify my statement that
wheat will reach 90 cents this year.
But my advice would be to sell when
It gets to the 90-cent mark or lit
tie before"
Mr.. Cohen leaces tomorrow morn
ing for Echo after comforting with
theleading farmers and grain buyers
on crop conditions. He is one of the
best informed men In the Northwest
on market and crop conditions and
has built up reliable and readable

SANTA RITA Mine
IN GOOD SHAPE
Des SauIIeS and Brown Re-
turn From Trip Well Salts
fled With Prospect.

Albert Des Saulies and J. L. Brown
have returned from a trip to the
Santa Rita mountains, about seventy
miles distant, where they have beea
doing assessment work on property
owned by themselves and Allie Howe
of Tombstone They have copper
and silver proposition, formerly known
as the Copper King, but renamed by
them the Santa Rita. DeSaulles
stated last night that parties thinking
of buying the claims would go out with
him in a day or two.
While In the mountains they saw
the light from Bisbee the night Of the
big fire, but did not know until two
weeks later. when they were told by
cowboys, whether the fire was in Bis
bee or Tombstone. Brown made the
ascent of "Old Badly" which is in
the neighborhood of 10000 feet high,
and spent one night up there. with 4
companion While it was very cold,
no snow had fallen.
The party got two deer while they
were in camp, and saw many others,
but were too busy working to have
time to hunt very much. They report
ed overland trout plentiful, but rather
tough this year.
DeSaulles said the Mansfield had re
ceived orders to start up. and that as
soon as new boilers were put in for
the Gringo, operations would begin
there with a full force. 1t is also re.
ported that the Gibson is to begin
operations soon.

been unwilling or unable to raise the

Up to date the dewk market is firm.

shop-worn goods. Bruzzy is charging
the Elkins family full price.

Stephen. II is hard on father. He ia
doubtless a hard headed American
business man. and knows that the
decorated and bedecked italian isn't
worth million as son In law. But
he is in a hopeless minority. The
women folks have him overruled. and
Uncle Gassoway is backing them up.
1t won't cost Gassoway anything. SO
he can afford to side against Steve.
Maybe. now that the election has
shown that the tariff on the goods
that father Elkins makes will remain
Hrohibitive. thus allowing him to get
his million back out of us common
people, the head of the family will
either be reconciled. or be in better

One Of the promises in the demo

give every voter TIE opportunity TO
