Baltimore, July The observance of Indepen-

reported and few arrests for violations of the police
regulations against the use of dangerous fireworks
recorded.
For the last five years the discharge of fireworks
within the city limits any time had been strictly
forbidden by the police commissioners. The police
authorities state that each succeeding Fourth Of

a reaction against the noisy celebration of the day

The Pacific Coast will soon be the
scene of an interesting tree growing
experiment. The United States For
est Service is planning to introduce
number of the more important
eastern hardwoods into California,
and will this year experiment with
chestnut, hickory, bass-wood, red
oak, and yellow popular or tulip trees.
Small patches of these trees will be
planted near the forest rangers ca
ins on the National Forests, and if
these do well larger plantations on a
commercial scale will soon be estab-
lished in wider areas.
There are over 1875 different species
of trees in California, a number of
which produce some of the most val
liable varieties of lumber in the coun-
try. Although considerably over one
half of the species are hardwood or
broad-leaved trees. yet with the ex-
ception of the exotic eucalyptus, there
is not a single species of hardwood
hAe ranking in commercitl impart-
ance with the leading eastern hard
woods. Climatic conditions in many
parts of California are undoubtedly
favorable for the growth of a number

THEY ARE BROTHERS.

While here yesterday the Chicago
business men were shown how the
wheat is grown. 1t was a good thing
for them to see. Back in their home
city more wheat is bought and sold
than in any other city of the world
But in the wheat pit they deal only
in margins. They do not see the real
grain nor do they know of the toll
that goes with the production of every
bushel.
Yesterday some representatives
from the wheat pit city were shown
how the real wheat business is con-
Quoted. They were shown how the big
gang plows break the soil; how in the
heat and the dust the summer fallow
is cultivated; how the grain is seed
ed and how the combines finish the
task. All this they were shown While
they were being taken through the
wheat belt in autos owned and driven
by practical farmers. The visitors
enjoyed the experience and were loud
in praise of the courtesy shown them
by the business men of Pendleton and
the farmers who were the hosts while
the party was in the county.
Yesterdays visit from the Chicago
men was mutually profitable to the
strangers and to the local people. 1t
is a good thing for one part of the
world to know what the rest Of the
world is doing. Civilized man does not
live alone. He is simply part of a
great system.
Chicago does not owe its greatness
to anything within that city, but be-
cause it is the gateway to the west.
It is with the states this side the Mis-
sissippi that the Chicago jobbing
houses do their principal business. In
these same states is grown the wheat
that is sold in the pit and from these
same states Chicago secures the wool,
the beef, the fruit and other products
of the soil to clothe and feed its own
people and those who live to the east
ward.
Only a few years ago there was
nothing but a block house fort and
a stockade where the city of Chicago
now stands. But since that time II
has become one of the great cities
Of the world. 1t waa the settlement
and the development Of the west that
made Chicago grow and is daily max
ing It greater. It is well that when
they started upon their trip the Chi
cogo men headed towards the Pa
cific. Chicago and the west are oi
the same flesh and blood. In a com
mercial and Industrial sense the Chi
cago business men and the men whit
piloted them through the wheat bel
yesterday are brothers.

And a toiler dies in a day.

And the fathers heart that beeds!

From trophies of mart and stage.

stantial reduction in the rate on wool
from Pendleton to the east. This
sould inure to the benefit of the
woolgrowers of eastern Oregon. Fur
thermore the new tariff works for JUS
tice between Pendleton and such
towns as Echo lying west of the city.
Heretofore Echo had a cheaper rate
to the east on grease wool than did
Pendleton, although the rate on
secured wool was already the same
for both towns.
incidentally the new rates will
strengthen Pendleton's position as the
wool city of the northwest Under the
new rates wool may be baled or
secured in this city and still so east
at the same rates as from the point
where it was grown. This being the
case it would seem to the interests
of the sheepmen who own the Echo
securing mill TO move their plant to
this city. There is now no advantage
in having the plant at Echo while in
many ways it would be very advanta-
geous to the owners to have the plant
in this city.

A Rrindle Bull Pun.

pup-no less. The brlndle pup, its
putative mistress in tow, was taking a
constitutional down Fifth avenue at
the same time when another lady
with a melancholy interest in brindle
bull pups was making her way up
that populated street. The lady with
the melancholy interest in brindle
bull pups espied the putative mistress
in tow and deployed for a collision
Result: High words, a scuffle and a

cided that it was not a matter for his
interference; that the question Of who
was entitled to the brindle bull pup
would have to be determined by a
civil suit.-New York Globe.

ST. JOSEPHS ACADEMY.

The St. Joseph's academy which
completed its years work yesterday is
an institution of which the people of
this city are always appreciative. Some
fine work is done by this academy and
many times in the past has Pendleton
been proud of the showing made by
the pupils of the school. As with
other schools conducted by those of
the Cathdic faith st. Joseph's acad-
emy offers very valuable instruction
along lines of culture. 1t is this fea-
ture of the school that appeals to
many parents and induces them to
send their children there for training
May the academy continue to grow
and TO increase in popularity.

GOOD FARMING.

That there will be a good wheat
yield this summer is clearly indicated
by the appearance of the grain in the
section between Pendleton and Athe-
ma. Though there have been some dis
couraging features this spring the
outlook at this time is very favorable.
At least such is the case with respect
to the greater portion of the wheat
land of the county. The condition of
the growing crop in the main wheat
section of the county now indicates
that there will be a normal yield in
spite of the fact that the rainfall has
been less than normal. To great ex-
tent the outlook at this time is a tri-
butte to the methods used by the far
mers of the county. They are good
wheatgrowers and the fact that they
have cultivated their fields we'll has
much to do with the good prospects
at this time.

A Sensation in potato Growing.

A sensation In potato growing has
been created in the neighborhood of
Ridgely Md, or at Richardtown, a
suburb, by the discovery that potatoes
grown in barrel yield enormously
and the idea Is to be tried by later
growers in Clay county. The expert
'ment was put to a local test there this
year, and during this week the expert
menter, Oscar Needs, invited his
friends and neighbors to come in and
see what the barrel contained. Needs,
early in the spring, had planted the
eyes of one whole potato in a barrel
which had contained lime, but III
which he threw some fortified earth.
AS the wires grew, Needs added dirc,
and occasionally added water when
the lack of natural substance of thu
mother earth caused the dirt to APP
pear dry. Potato bugs could not
reach it, and the Paris green men, it
is said, were gloomy as the expert
ment progressed. When his neighbors
arrived to see what the barrel con-
tanned on digging day." Needs care
fully removed the earth from the dead
vines, and there, sure enough, and I'll
connected to the vines by Dame Ma
ture and not by trick, were 125 prime
potatoes, or enough to fill peach
basket and leave half peck of small,
unmarketable potatoes in the barre.
