POSTMASTER BARNES
PASSES TO BEYOND

Washington, d. c., Oct. 21.-Benja-
min w. Barnes, postmaster of this city
and who served first as executive clerk
under President Mckinley, and later
as assistant secretary to President
Roosevelt dropped dead here last
night Of heart failure.
Mr. Barnes had been in particular
ly good humor yesterday over the fact
that he had been admitted to practice
before the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
On at least two occasions Mr..
Barnes came prominently into the
limelight. One was at the time he
was alleged to have played a part in
ejecting Mrs. Minor Morris. a sister
of Representative Hull of Iowa, from
the White House. The event caused
a sensation at the time. President
Roosevelt stood resolutely by Mr..
Barnes and further emphasized his
friendship by appointing him. about
three and a half years ago, as post
master. A storm Of protest was rails
ed by washington against the ap-
pontment, the point of objection being
that he was not local man. although
Mr.. Barnes had lived here for about
q quarter of a century.

NEARLY HALF INCH
RAINFALL REPORTED

Nearly exactly one half an inch of
rain has fallen in Pendleton during
the past three days. The correct am
cunt according to the records of Of
ficial Weather Observer Rowland, is
47-100 of an inch.
The rain has been general through
out the county and if the reports
which have been received from the
different sections are to be taken at
their full value seeding will be COM
menced in a thousand fields just as
soon as the weather is settled. More
rain will be welcome however and the
feeling prevails that more will be
forthcoming.
Owing to the extreme dry weather
which has prevailed during the past
two seasons, more moisture is needed
than would be necessary under ordi-
nary circumstances.
According to Mr.. VIII NJ. Peter
son who drove up, as far as Cayuse.
this morning, the farmers on the res
ervation are well satisfied with the
precipitation so far and are busily en-
gagged today in getting their drills
and other seeding machinery in readi-
ness for the general seed time.

The smoker and boxing entertain
ment given by the P. A. A. c. at the
Oregon theater this evening promises
to furnish a good nights sport for the
lovers of this manly art Marquis of
Queensberry rules will govern the
contests. Both Castle and Nodo are
anxious to show their class and a
good 4 round mill is assured.
The main event of ten rounds be-
tween Ed Cuff, the gladiator of Spo-
kane, and Dudley Evans, the club in
structor, will be full of action Cuff
with his bore-in tactics, pitted against
the clever pupil of Jack Dempsey,
will find that he needs all of his
strength and hardrhitting proclvities
to outlook the boy who for eight years
was Oregon's amateur welterweight
champion.
Cuff says he feels as fit as he ever
did in his life and is sure he can out
last his opponent. Dudley admits
Cuffs strength and aggressiveness,
but feels that his superior cleverness
and boxing ability will more than
equalize matters in the ten rounds
