REST ROOM NEEDED.

The largest crowd Of country peopl
ever to come to this city for a circus
attended the Sells-Floto circus her,
last Saturday and never before tina
day has the need of rest room, &
public place for country women anC
children to congregate and visit ant
rest, been so apparent as then.
Hundreds of women and children
walked the streets all forenoon and by
the time the circus began they were
almost too tired to attend. They had
done their shopping and had attended
to all their errands and would have
gladly welcomed a room in which they
could have rested for two or three
hours while waiting for the circus to
begin.
The expense Of maintaining such a
room would be but slight and 1t would
be used every hour in the day. The
lack Of such a place has always been
the cause of bitter complaint by coun-
try people. There Is not a seat in
Pendleton except in somebody's store,
where people may rest after their
shopping.
1t is time this was remedied. Peo-
pie would feel more friendly toward
the city they would feel more like
coming here to spend their money and
enjoy themselves II more were done
for their comfort and convenience
while in the city.

PLANTING TIME.

They cheat themselves who never
steal
The joy of triumph ere it's won,
Who must possess their gains to feel
The worth of labor nobly done;
They are the best whose joys begin
When first the tendrils feebly
climb.
Whose smiles denote the joy within
Their hopeful breasts at planting
time.
They make their burdens hard indeed,
Who can not contemplate with glee
AS busily they plant the seed,
The fair rewards that are to be;
They bear a world of needles ills
Who can not join with them who
sings
While toiling on the trying hills
The JOY that from the effort springs.

ONLY BOATS CAN SAVE GRAIN
River transportation for OmahR or
Market is in Jeopardy.

River Transportation for Omaha or
Market il iR Jeopardy.
Boats must run on the Missouri river be-
tween Omaha and st Louis or Omaha and
Memphis, according to grain dealers, II
this city Is to maintain its position as
grain market and give Nebraska shippers
the protection which they deserve.
The announcement that Kansas City-St.
Louis capitalists are organizing a $l000,0C0
company to establish boat line betwe en-
Kansas City, st. Louis and the gulf has
created considerable interest among local
grain dealers
From the first it has been suspected that
Kansas City would be among the first to
put boats on the river for the purpose of
securing a lower rate on grain from that
market to the gulf Kansas City fought
hard to secure differential OF from to
cents between that market and Omaha on
shipments to the gulf, but was unsuccess-
ful with the railroads. AS It stands Omaha
has the same rate practically to the gulf
which Kansas City has. but the boat line
LIeans cheaper rates to the seaboard for
Kansas City by water transportation. Grain
dealers say 1t will be but a short time until
the railroads are forced to give Kansas
City a lower rate to Memphis and to the
gulf than Omaha can possibly secure with
out boat line.
This boat line proposition has been
laughed at" said a grain dealer But is
is serious proposition Kansas City bust
ness interests know this, They put UP
$4,000 in the last two years to test the
practicability of a boat line from Kansas
city 10 st, Louis. Omaha could get about
$4,000 together when the proposition was
first started here. Now the time has come
when We will either have to go in with
Kansas City and st. Louis get a boat line
Of our own started, or be left out In the
rain. Kansas City is after lower grain
rates TO the guls and Kansas City is going
TO get them without a doubt"
Lawrence NJ. Jones is quoted as sayinl
in the Kansas City Star:
80 far as we are concerned, we have
gone far enough now with our experiment
TO show that the Missouri river is navi
gable and that navigation is profitable
We must now 20 ahead TO organize anC

Republican Chairman Holds Confer
ence with the President.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.--When Frank H.
Hitchcock, chairman of the republican
committee returned here tonight from his
visit to the president at oyster Bay, he
had little to say about the matter taken up.
He said that the president had shown great
interest in the plans for the republican cam
paign in general and that the state sltua-
ton had been considered. Beyond that
Mr.. Hitchcock said he could not talk. and
he would not admit that any conclusions
were reached as to whether Mr.. Roosevelt
and his advisors were for or against a
denomination for Governor Hughes, II is
understood that the policy OF Mr. Hitch
cock in listening TO what everybody has
to say on both sides OF the Hughes ques-
ton was approved by the president.
Great interest was shown in political cir
cles here in the story printed In Chicago
today that Elmer E. Dover, secretary of
the national committee had resigned his
position. Mr.. Dover arrived in New York
today, accompanied by Mrs, Dover, who Is
about to sail for Europe. The Chicago dis
patch was shown to him and he denied that
he had resigned. He declined to say what
he would do in the future.
When actively engaged in campaign
work, Secretary Dover's headquarters will
be in Chicago. AS already announced,
Chairman Hitchcock proposes to appoint a
vice chairman who will have general super
vision of the work at Chicago.
Chairman Hitchcock stated tonight that
he had not heard that Mr.. Dover intended
to resign and added that he did not credit
the report. 1t is expected that Secretary
Dover will call upon Mr. Hitchcock to-
morrow.

day says: Word reached Chicago today

secretary Of the republican national com
mittee, had carried out intention. privately
