WHITMAN CONSERVATORY
MUSICIANS APPRECIATED

1t is doubtful if any group of mu-
sicians who have ever visited Pendle-
ton have received such high praise as
that bestowed upon the members of
the faculty of the Whitman college
conservatory of music who gave the
recital in the Methodist church. Sat
urday evening. Every performer was
an artist and each one would be a
credit to a city of more pretentions
than Walla Walla.
There was not a dull moment or a
poorly executed piece from the OPEN
ing to the closing of the program.
and while the audience was not as
large as the excellence of the concert
deserved, yet those who were present
were appreciative and showed the
fact by the manner in which the per-
formers were cheered.

Originally it had been the intention
to place the shows on the triangular
tract adjoining the o. r. & N. rail-
road tracks, but 1t was found that the
space there was not adequate to ac-
commodate the large shows, and for
that reason II was decided to place
them in the ball park where they could

ADMIRAL EVANS TELLS
WHY HOBSON is HERO

San Francisco-In the course of a
can war, or such portions of it as
came directly under his notice as
commander of the battleship Iowa,
Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans, re-
tired, mentioned the sinking of the
Merrimac in Santiago harbor, saying
he never knew just why Admiral
Sampson had selected Lieutenant
Hobson to command that expedition
"unless it was the Admiral thought
he could spare him better than any
other officer of the fleet"
Admiral Evans recounted one incl
dent on the Iowa when a heavy bat
tie hatch was picked up by a cable
and carried above his head. 1t was
shaken loose and fell, striking Evans
on the shoulder and dislocating the
joint,
Contrary to my reputation" said
the Admiral, 81 had not taken drink
in five years, but when l regained
consciousness the doctor was stand
ing over me with glass of fine
French brandy. / drank it, and
when he asked me how I felt re-
piled that 1 felt like a gentleman for
the first time in five years"
Admiral Evans besought his hear
ers to work for a larger navy. He
said both coasts must be protected
by battleship fleets, as it would be
impossible to bring a fleet through
the Panama Canal, because hostile
fleet could wait for and sink its ves-
sells one at a time.

President Homan of Willamette
university, who delivered two sermons
at the Methodist church yesterday and
addressed the students of the high
school this morning, is thoroughly in
accord with the proposition to unite
the colleges of the willamette val
ley The proposal was made re-
Gently and is being urged by the
Portland papers, as the result of the
announcement that the trustees of
the Rockefeller fund would not give
to any of the schools in the VILLAIN
ette valley, because the number of
schools was too great for the small
area of contributary territory.
AS Willamette University has the
most strategic location of any In the
valley, as well as being the oldest in
stltution Of learning west of the
Rocky mountains. President Homan
naturally thinks that it should be one
of two to be retained. He thinks the
other one should be Pacific Univer-
sity at Forest Grove. With the col
leges at Albany. Philomath Newberg.
Dallas and McMinnville, either united
with one of these two or with some
other college of their own denomina-
tion in some other field. President
Homan thinks no difficulty would be
encountered in securing from the east
all the funds necessary to make two
really important and influential re-
ligious educational institutions in
Oregon.
President Homan believes there is
and always will be a field for a reli-
sious educational institution in the
state as in every other. He also thinks
that past experience in the east has
shown that one or two strong reli-
gious or denominaional colleges in
the state would do much toward
building up the state institutions and
would bring to pass a state of affairs |
where here would be no Oregon stu
dents attending institutions in other
states and where large numbers would !
be coming here to go to school.
While no move toward that end |
has yet been taken, DR.. Homan be- |
ieves 1t is entirely probable that a
of college presidents or
boards of trustees, may be held in
he not distant future and that the
subject of union will then be taken up
'or discussion. What the outcome of
such a meeting would be is hard to
'oretell.
So far as Willamette University Is
concerned, DR.. Homan
links the chances are bright re-
sardless of what action is taken in
he matter of union. The number Of
Students is constantly increasing,
while the endowment is also receiv-
ng substantial additions. Eaton Hall,
he new $4,000 building which is a
lift to the institution from Robert
Eaton of La Grande, is rapidly being
ushed to completion and is nearly
eady for the roof This building Is
If pressed brick, of modern architec-
ure and will be one of the handsom-
st Of any educational institution in
he state when completed.
1t is planned to have big celebra-
ion in Salem in August or Septem-
er At tina time 1t is proposed to
edicate the new building, celebrate
he 65th anniversary of the founding
4 the institution and have a big
lome-comlng of alumni and former
tudents Of Old willamette.

Pendleton was visited by two early
morning blazes this morning, The
most important was the fire which
gutted the new millinery store OF
Mrs. c. f. Chatten on Main street,
shortly after o'clock this morning,
| doing damage TO the extent of $2500,
The other fire occurred about o'clock
and scorched the corner of the old
machine shop on the point of the tri-
angle of ground between Court and
Alta streets.
Mystery surrounds the origin of
both fires, but the one at the machine
shop was evidently of incendiary or
igin. From appearances someone
must have set the fire and then rung
the bell of the East end department.
which is but few feet distant. With
the alarm turned in so promptly the
blaze was eXtinguished before it had
more than scorched the corner of the
building.
The fire in the millinery store was
more disastrous. Everything within
the building was completely burned,
there being few whole hats left in
the show window, but even these were
damaged. The loss is estimated by
Mrs. Chattem as between $4,000 and
$4,000, while she had $500 insur-
ance.
This was written but few DAYS
ago by James H. Gwinn represent
ing the Royal Insurance company.
Owing to the failure of the new fire
bell ringer attachment to work the
big bell could only be made to give
two taps. so the firemen were not |
summoned from their homes until |
after the fire had done its work. A
couple of trainmen who happened to |
be up yet and some one or two other
persons who happened to be on the
street, ran the hose cart out and pro-
ceeded to extinguish the flames.
Mrs. Chattem knew nothing of the
tire until she came down to open up
her place of business at s o'clock.

BUSINESS IS GOOD

NJ ATIONAL prosperity is indicated
~ by the reports of the big manu-
~ featuring plants. The Pullman
company has a years orders ahead.
The American Steel and Wire company
will run its plants full time and full
capacity until January, and expects new
orders after the holidays. The plants
of the Pressed Steel Car company will
be busy until spring. The American
Car and Foundry company is running
at capacity. In about a month the
Chicago Pneumatic Tool company will
have its plants fully operating. The
Illinois Steel company has enough or
ders for rails to keep it busy until De-
cember. The Gary rail mills are also
booked to December, and the American
Steel Foundry company is sold ahead
to the end of the year and partially for
three months of 1910.
Throughout the nation the tide of
prosperity is running strongly. There
is enough to go around. There would
be work for everybody if the problem
of the distribution of labor were on as
satisfactory a basis as the problem of
the distribution of wealth. Why does
not the government make use of It's
postoffices for the purpose of giving the
public reliable information as to the
demand and supply of labor?
