The Tennessee Berkshire Breeders
Association, OF which j. S. Henderson,
of Kenton, is president, will conduct its
second annual public sale of high-class
Berkshires in Nashville, Tenn, Feb. Is,
1909, at 1 O'Clock p. M, at the Tennes-
see State Fair grounds. The only con-
signors in this sale from Obion County
are J. S. Henderson and H. G. Davidson.
DR.. /. N. Johnson, of Martin, will be
also consignor. These gentlemen have
been engaged in the fine stock industry
in Obion County for a number OF years.
They have been instrumental in intro
ducing high-bred stock, including cat
tie and hogs and sheep, and in this they
have developed one of the greatest OF all
branches Of the farm and one that is of
incalculable benefit to the progress and
development of rural territory In ad-
dition to this Mr.. Henderson has taken
a very active interest In bringing to no.
tice among the stock raisers of Tennes-
see this industry He was instrumental
in the organization of the Tennessee
Berkshire Breeders Association and in
holding the first public sale of high
class Berkshires in Nashville last year.
He was elected president of the associ-
alton and the sale was success. Inter
est in the work increased, and now the
second annual sale is to take place UNI
der Mr.. Henderson's direction in Nash
vile Feb. 1S, as stated There are num-
bers Of citizens in the county now who
are interested personally in the raising
Of standard and thoroughbred stock and
its contribution to our material growth
is valuable indeed. Catalogues for the
public sale in Nashville are being dis
tributed by Mr.. Henderson this week,
including description and pedigrees Of
nearly fifty fine offerings, and it would
be to the advantage of everyone inter-
ested to get a copy.

as to reclaim all adjacent territory from
floods and freshets, thus providing for
opening of new ground and for the Gull
tiyation Of crops on other land without
the loss entailed by such overflow. Such
plan as this, provided the Judges cal
culations are correct, and there is no
reason to believe that what has already
been accomplished in drainage else
where cannot be done here, would be
worth more to West Tennessee in IN
trinsic value than all the legislation OF
such character that could be mem
toned. This plan would affect only
such citizens as are actually interested,
and would double our available farming
area, perhaps more. 1t would make
rich country of territory now practically
useless and of little value and be worth
millions of dollars to this portion OF the
State. The bill was introduced by Rep
resentatiye McDade.

The "Artful Dodger. .

The Holladay-Fort anti-bucket shop
bill passed by the Senate is farce, a
lingo measure, and that is the best that
can be said of it. 1t prohibits only a
little side betting-in other words, small
bets-but the real evil it does not touch.
We have endeavored to reflect what
great newspaper journals have already
shown-that ninety five per cent OF the
orders on change are not options on
real sales and delivery, but gambling,
and nothing more.
Now, our object in this is not to
preach on gambling, however much it
may be needed, but to show that the
crop of persimmon-head legislators is
as large in Tennessee this year as usual.
The big brokers are members of the
exchanges, and any day that they don't
win you may search us. "
The South has no big exchanges, and
the consequence is that this section is
mulcted out of an amount estimated by
those who are authority to make the
statement to be about twenty millions
of dollars year.
AS between the two-the bucket shop
that the Holiday Fort bill attacks and
the psuedo-respectable bucket shop-it
would be infinitely better for the South
to have the former. The gambling evil
would remain in either case, but with
the cheap bucket shop only our money
at any rate would remain at home.

The fact that Governor Patterson in
his race against Cox stoutly urged Cox S
defeat, and for no other reason visibly
than because he had the authority to
appoint county election commissioners,
is not altogether consistent attitude
for that gentleman now in wanting to
exercise indirectly this same authority.
The appointment of State commission
ers, who, in turn, appoint county COM
missioners, and the direct appointment
Of county commissioners, as far as ex-
ecutive power is concerned, is practl-
cally the same thing. All the hair
splitting in the world can't change it.
Fact is that conservative measure in
deed is one which places the authority
for naming State election commission
ers in the hands of the Legislature.
Really it should go still nearer the peo-
pie than the Legislature. The county
authorities should name these commits
sioners, and that is the impression left
i upon the people of the State by Gov
.er9pr Patterson in his strenuous race
le, and oncpx and the machine.

HERM|STON DEFEATS
MIGHTY UMAT|LLAS
WIN SECOND TIME
ON BASKETBALL FLOOR
First Game Ever Played i'm New Town
Abbreviated Attire Shocks Ladies
-Umatilla Got Big Lead But Game
Was Tie When Whistle Blew and
Locals Got Winning Basket.
Especial Correspondence )

Hermiston, Dec. 21.-Some one said
that there was a game of basketball in
Hermiston last Saturday. This was
the first game ever played here and
as Hermiston is a new town there were
number of people who had never
seen the game played. Some came
because they were told that there wa.
going to be some excitement up at the
hall. When the teams appeared in
their short pants and sleeveless shirts
some of the women were wont to cover
their faces. But with the faces covered
they were unable to witness the game.
but it was not very long until their
eyes became so accustomed to the at
tire of the youths that they were max
ing remarks about the broad shoulders
or the we'll formed legs of a certain
player. One young lady about 22
asked player why he did not crease
his trousers. Those of the men who
had never seen a game remarked that
IL must be that new fandango game
that the high moguls of athletics are
trying to adopt, cross between foot
ball and socker.
Nevertheless it was a game and a
good one. 1t was real battle for
supremacy from start to finish and at
the end of the first half money stood
at to in favor of Hermiston for
that was the score.
At this stage of the game Hermiston
became a little over confident and as
a result Umatilla ran up the score
fairly high and before Hermiston
could stop her the score stood 30 to
IL in favor of the boys from the juno
ton. Just at this time cheer went
up from the Hermiston supporters.
And If there was Umatilla man failed
to look them over he lost his chance
for from then on there was nothing
to be seen of Hermiston except flash
OF white now and then as one of the
players passed the audience. Her
miston oVercame the big lead and
when the whistle blew to end the
game the score stood % and %.
This meant that the team that scor-
ed the first two points won the game
and of course the home team won.
Umatilla took defeat very hard, this
being the second time within two
weeks that Hermiston has downed
them.
The referee and umpire were very
good. both teams being well satisfied.
Those who were crowned with the
wreaths of glory, were Thompson who
held the mighty imported Stephen
in tow. Wallace Wilson the fast little
forward who could never be found by
his guard O'Connell. F. f. Ruffner
who held Umatilla's star player Nc
Nurland to standstill. II. Geise who
showed wonderful form and who is
what is termed silent mixer.
The Umatilla team was: Forwards,
Frank McNurland, Orle Stephens;
Center John Mcfarland; Guards,
O'Connell, Mcdonald.
Referee, Kimball. umpire Slower,
time keepers B. Switzler, L. Garfield.
Time, two 20 minute halves.

The move to secure this greatest

DR.. Mcclure, and subsequent devel-
opments would indicate that Ore
gon's chances are exceedingly bright

ing everything in their power to as
sist the sheepmen of Oregon to land
the big meeting. 1t is also believed
that the hearty co-operat, on of the
other western states can also be Sc
cured and in that case the conven-
ton is practically assured.
At least one special train will be
run from Oregon to the convention
! which is to be held in January in
Ogden and it is there that the fight
will be made to bring the next meet
ing to the Pacific coast
Portland Club Is Assisting.
Dan p Smythe, secretary of the
Oregon association, visited the Port
land Commercial club and asked its
cooperation to secure the conven-
ton. This has been given. The
commercial club will send a delega-
tion to Ogden, consisting of B. H.
Trumbull, commercial agent of the
Illinois Central, and d. o. Lively
manager of the Portland Union
Stockyards, who will cooperate with
the sheepmen in attendance from this
state, and will bear the official in
vitation. Badges having the legend,
Portland, 1911" have been pre-
pared by the Commercial club, and
these will be taken by the Oregon
delegation to Ogden and used IN the
campaign to bring the next annual
meeting here.
