not know. This paper does not know
the fair commissioners and does not
know whether they are republicans,
democrats, socialists or prohibition
lists. 1t does not care.
But this much is observed, that If
the fair commissioners have done any
thing wrong the critics have not mem
toned it. The attacks thus far made
upon the commissioners have been
cheap, demagogic and disgusting. The
Salem paper complains loudly be-
cause the commissioners are spending
the money that was appropriated for
the maintenance of the oregon exhibit
and charges among other things that
the commissioners have been eating
meals that cost from so cents to $3.50
and have been paying as high as SO
per day for room.
Now there is nothing alarming
about this, II is not surprising that
the commissioners are spending mon
ey that was appropriated. 1t was the
of the state to spend that
money. The people did not expect
the commissioners to place the money
in a tin box and devote their time to
keeping the dust off it. They wanted !
them to spend the money exploiting
oregon-in showing that Oregon is
a progressive state and has some peo-
pie who know whats what"
Now how would it have looked if
he commissioners, as the official rep
'esentatives of this sovereign state,
had been forced to eat at a 10 cent
coffee house" and to have had rooms
\ a shack bearing the sign rooms
20 cents and up?" How would it have
ooked had one of the commissioners
or instance, entertained some manu-
acturer who thought of locating In
oregon, by taking him to a chop
louse and have purchased for him a
andwich? That would have "adver-
ised" oregon with a vengeance. Yet
seems that such a line of action
would have pleased the Oregonian and

If the fair commissioners have sto,

GAG THE KNOCKER.

Local people are knocking the
town worse than I have ever heard
them before" said a visitor in the
city yesterday. what is the mat
ter?"
With Pendleton there is nothing
wrong under the shining sun. The
town is the best and busiest town OF
its size in the northwest. 1t is this
in spite of two successive dry sea-
sons, in spite of the fact that the
wheat farms have been going into
fewer hands and in spite of prohibit
ton. Pendleton is good town in
spite of adversity for the simple rea-
son that the town has great and
substantial backing. In the future
the town will be better than at pres
ent. There are forces at work that
mean progress for Pendleton. It's
future is absolutely safe.
Yet it is a fact, as the stranger
said, that many people are busy
knocking the town. Their mournful
wall is heard night and day. Peo-
pie who have made small fortunes in
Pendleton and are making money now
have Joined in the "anvl chorus" and
are knocking with a pers!stency that
is strange and inconceivable.
1t is time for the patriotic people
of Pendleton to put stop to this.
The chronic knocker should be told
t. stop his mounting or get out. If
Pendleton does not suit the grumbler
let him leave We will then get bet
ter man to take his place and the
town will be the better for the
change.
What the people of Pendleton, high
ard low, need to do is to get to work
for the further upbuilding Of the city
and the surrounding country. There
is much to be done. If the people of
this city will get together and work
for the advancement Of the community
as they may they can accomplish
much. Lands in. the vicinity of PEN
dleton may be watered and closely
peopled; electric lines may be built
to different sections of the country
and new industries may be provided
for the city. Such problems as the
one pertaining to the liquor question
should be worked out in a sensible,
clear headed manner. You cannot
solve the problem by merely beef
ing" for one side or the other.
Pendleton needs men who will work
instead Of grumble. It needs men
who have confidence in the town and
who will 90 ahead with energy and
courage and help build UP the town.
Towns are never built by knockers or
by business towards.

THEY'LL BE WELCOME.

1t is a welcome rumor that the
headquarters of the reclamation SER
vice may be brought back to Pendle-
ton. Let US hope the rumor will
prove correct. When the reclamation
office was moved from this city TO
Portland several years ago the East
Oregonian protested. The change was
absurd for the simple reason that
Pendleton is the center of the great
northwest irrigation country" while
Portland is 200 miles from any pro-
ject. The reclamation headquarters
for the state should be maintained In
eastern Oregon because it is in east
ern Oregon that the reclamation work
is being done. The Willamette valley
is more interested in drainage than
in irrigation.
When the new federal building is
erected it would certainly be fitting to
provide it with quarters for the re-
clamation service. If the reclamation
people want to return to Pendleton
they can rest assured that they will be
warmly welcomed.

puzzled as to the meaning of this, but
hope that J. H. was able to do the
subject justice and for the edification
of his hearers paint a vivid word-pic-
ture of the waves of intense passion
ate feeling which swept over our city
on that particular evening, whenever
1t was. The Flandreau correspondent
goes on to say that the Flandreau
team would have won the meet at
Brookings had they received fair treat
ment. We have neither the time nor
the space to answer that charge in de.
tail, other than to say that we do not
believe the members of the Flandreao
track team will uphold that statement.

of Brookings VS.. p. J. Murphy, ques-
ton was settled which is of more than
passing interest to the auditors of all
the larger counties of the state.
AT practically every legislative
session attempts are made to fix sal
aries of county auditors, always bring
ing on a contest between the lar1er
and smaller counties, the larger ones
wanting higher salary and the small
er ones lower salary. At the session
of 1903 a bill was drawn which was
expected to cover the differences by
fixing a general maximum salary of
$1,000 a year, but allowing the boards
of commissioners in counties with
over 10000 population to allow sala-
ries up to $1,000 at their discretion.
''P. j. Murphy, as auditor of Brook
ings county, was allowed $1,000 a year
for two years, and when a new states
attorney was selected he declared the
salary to have been illegally. paid, and
sued to recover the alleged excess
amount of $500 from Murphy. The
lower court held against the county,
and on appeal the supreme court has
affirmed the finding of the lower
court"

A SUCCESSFUL
MAY FESTIVAL
GREAT ANNUAL MUSICAL EVENT
PLEASES.
MINNEAPOLIS ORCHESTRA
CONTRIBUTES LARGELY TOWARD
FESTIVALS SUCCESS.

The Third Annual May Musical
Festical under the direction of the
Brookings May Festival association,
was held at the Grand Opera house
Thursday and Friday. This great
annual musical event was as great
success as those of past years, from
both an artistic and a financial stand
point. The attendance was all that
could be desired, the house being
packed to overfowing at all four con-
certs, and the receipts were over
thousand dollars.
The first concert of the Festival
was given Thursday afternoon by the
music faculty of the college, Profs.
Loudenback, Haynes and Christensen
and Miss Edna M. Perry. A fine pro
gram was rendered, each of the par
ticipants appearing to advantage, and
every number was heartily received.
In the evening the college orchestra
gave the second concert, assisted by
local talent. This concert was espe-
cially pleasing, and it demonstrated
that Brookings has more than the
usual amount of high-class musical
talent
The Symphony orchestra made its
first appearance on Friday afternoon
in a long and varied program. The
orchestra is made up of thorough art
lists and its work was certainly highly
pleasing to it's Brookings audiences.
At this concert it was assisted by
Esther May Plumb, contralto; Carlo
Fischer, celloist, and Mr.. Czerwonky,
violinist. Mr.. Fischer is an old favor
ite in Brookings, and he received
hearty welcome and an enthusiastic
encore. Miss Plumb has beautiful,
rich voice, and pleased her hearers
so we'll that she was recalled. Mr.
Czerwonky demonstrated his thorough
mastery of the violin and was heart
lily applauded.
The first part of the evening con-
cert was given by the Symphony or
chestra, which scored another success,
and the second part by the orchestra,
festival chorus and soloists. Haydns
Creation" was beautifully presented
the solo parts being taken by Louise
Ormsby, soprano; Garnet Hedge, tenor
and Arthur Middleton, basso, the
whole being under the direction of
Prof F. J. Haynes. The work of the
three soloists won much favor and it
was the general verdict that they are
the best ever heard in Brookings. The
chorus took their parts in highly
pleasing manner and reflected credit
upon Prof Haynes, who has had them
in charge.
Altogether the festival was success
in all the word implies, and the asso
citation can look forward hopefully
to as great a triumph next year.

will maneuver the upper air like
great bird and show the old-timers

This craft will cost the committee
$1,000 to get it, but it is deemed worth
