VALUABLE SHOWER SUNDAY.

Thousands OF Dollars Rained Into
Pockets OF Farmers and Stock.
men.
Every little bit helps" Is the song
Of the wheatmen and stockraisers OF
Cmatilla county today, for literally
thousands of dollars were showered
into their pockets for a few hours
The shower lasted from 10 o'clock
until 4, and although far from the
amount needed has done great benefit
to the county. 4;
A week of such rain would put the
range and the ground in about the
condition needed for the usual profits
next year. 1t Is said, but what did fall
was mighty welcome. Autoists are
also rejoicing at the prospect Of bet
ter roads.
The present drouth is said to have
been the greatest in years here and
any Of the old settlers declare that
there has been nothing like II within
their memory. The range is said to
be- in frightful condition and its
shortage has driven many feeders to
use their hay in winterng sheep this
year instead Of feeding cattle as usual.
The same condition has resulted In
encouragement for the wheat farm
ers as the moisture is much short of
what II should be for best results on
next years crop

BY the arrival last night OF John
P. Wilbur former manager of the
woolen mill at Union, a new feature
was added to the campaign for the re-
tention of the wooden mill in this city.
This afternoon the committee hav-
ing the movement in charge is meet
ing in the rooms of the Commercial
association for the purpose of listen
ing to a report from Mr.. Wilbur and
from others who have been in the
woolen mill business.
At this time the prospects for re-
tanning the mill seem brighter than
at any time since the movement was
taken up. Seemingly the only prob
lem now is that in connection with Sc
curing the mill upon a lease with an
option to buy the plant
Ever since the movement for re-
tanning the mill was started II wag the
desire o. the committee to have the
services of Mr.. Wilbur. Yesterday II
was learned that he was at Union
and at the instance of G. NJ. Rice. the
committees chairman, he was induc-
ed to come come to Pendleton. He
arrived here on train No last night.
After meeting this morning with
Mr.. Rice and other members of the
committee, Mr. Wilbur and C. A.
Sheppard made an inspection Of the
machinery at the mill The report Of
this inspection is being made known
at the committee meeting this af-
ternoon.
A Practical Miller.
Because of his long experience in
the woolen mill business Mr.. Wilbur
is well qualified to pass upon the
merits of the local industry. He is a
native of Providence, r. l., where the
woolen mill business overshadows all
else. He was in the wooden mill busi-
ness at Salem for a number of years
and operated the Union wooden mill
for 10 years Under his management
he Union mill was highly successful.
It was and still is owned by A. E. Ea-
on of that town and Mr.. Wilbur ran
he mill upon a percentage basis.

When questioned this morning re-
'arding the matter, Mr.. Wilbur de-
Jared positively his belief that the
voolen mill business can be made to
'ay i'm this city if the mill be under
proper management He SAYS that
he general conditions throughout the
whole country are favorable to the
business.
As to whether or not he would take

ible to do so should a suitable prop
'sition be presented to him.
