Halloween has come and gone and
Pendleton is still on the way, not
withstanding the efforts of the small
boy to take the part of the tabled
ghosts and gobblins who are sup
posed to perform all sorts of freakish
pranks The inventive genius of the
small boy seems to be on the decline,
however, for all the tricks played were
as ancient as the hills.
The removal of gates, the overtUrn-
ing of small outbuildings and the
tearing up of sidewalks were incident
to the ringing of doorbells Many an
unsuspecting person was startled to
be confronted with a jack-o-lantern
on opening the door in response TO a
peal of the bell.
The few gates which were left on
the hinges Saturday night were re-
moved last night by a crowd of ire
sponsbles who were evidently ignor-
ant of the fact that the true Hallow-
cen spirits confine their efforts to
one evening.
The most serious depreciation re-
ported was the carrying away of the
frame of pictures belonging to the
Soul Kiss" company from in front of
the Pendleton Drug store. This Is
said to have been valued at $50 and
the manager of the company notified

RAINS BLESS THE
FARMERS FIELDS
PRECIPITATION FOR MONTH
STILL BELOW LAST YEARS
Heavy Showers Yesterday Largely
Make Up Deficiency October
Rains 30 Inch Less Than Last
Year-Farmers Are All Seeding.

There is general rejoicing through
out the length and breadth of Una
tilla county as the result of the heavy
rains of the last few days. These
brought the total precipitation for
the month of October to 1.22 of an
inch or .1S of an inch more than the
average precipitation for the month
during the past six years.
During the period in question the
average rainfall for the month of
October was 1.09 of an inch. For
only two years of that time, 1905 and
1908. was the precipitation greater
than this month. For three years 1t
was less. The precipitation for Octo-
ber 1906 the fall preceding the big
gest crop ever harvested in Umatilla
county was only Sc of an inch.
The following table of the rainfall
for the month of October has been
prepared by Ralph Rowland, official
weather observer for this city:

There is no longer any doubt in the
minds of the growers as to the advis-
ability Of seeding and the drills are at
work in a thousand fields. Thousands
of acres have already been seeded and
in very few instances the wheat is
already coming up. One of those
whose field is beginning to take on the
green tinge is William Caldwells. He
seeded some just before the first
rain of two weeks ago and as a re-
suit his wheat is already coming up.
Most of the farmers, however, pre-
ferred to wait for the first rain to
start the weeds and thus give them a
chance to kill out as many of the
weeds as possible in seeding.

suggestions worthy Of using as time
goes by. DR.. Senseney led the de-
votional exercises in the afternoon
and then in the absence Of Mr.. Jacob
Sims spoke on the temperance ques-
ton in the Sunday Schools. He set
forth the evils of drink and insisted
that the Sunday Schools were not do
ing their duty if they did not at all
times impress on the minds of the
children the evils of strong drink.
Rev. LaReau next spoke of the move
ment for oragnized classes. By this
means thousands of young men and
women have been kept in the schools
and the adults found new interest in
bible study. He told of the Baracca
movement and what it was doing.
Mr.. Andrew Olkjer of Vail gave we'll
considered talk on the inspiration COM
ing from q school having q definite
object in view in contributing for
missions. Not contributing generally
to missions. but supporting some par
ticular work. Missionary, student, or

stress in his talk onsthe responsibility
Of the teacher for the success Of the
school. The teacher was close to the
children. His or her daily life must
give example to the Sunday teaching.
This was one of the good things of the
convention. Rev. F. F. Fitch of Des
Moines gave talk on modern methods
in the Sunday Schools. He had with
him, books and charts and made use Of
the blackboard. He insisted that the
boys from twelve to sixteen should be
taught by men, and girls Of the same

dressed the convention on primary
methods showing the means taken to
interest the little ones, keep up at

Mrs. Harry Carpenter favored the corr
vention with thoughtful talk on in
struction as to general things about
the bible, in addition to the regular
lesson. This should be given in gener-
al exercises. She censured parents
who allowed their children to study
their day school lessons on Sunday.
County President Van Ness presided
and there was an interesting discus
sion of topics in which all present took
lively part. One pleasing incident of
the session was song given by the
little girls, members of the class of
Mrs. Pierce.
The concluding session of the day
came at 1880 with President VanNess
presiding. Rev. DePree of the Pres
byterian church made an address with
a strong plea for the young men.
For Denison he advocated q Y. M. c..
A. of similar movement. One cannot
successfully combat the presence of
young men at questionable places. if
no suitable substitute is provided.
Rev. DePree is always thoughtful
speaker and his works bear out in
practice what he breaches. The state
secretary, Rev. F. F. Fitch, arrived
and spoke briefly as to the coming
state convention at Des Moines and
plans for work in the schools generally.
