dangerously near one Of the coin ma

eight o'clock on opening morning.
c. r. Collins, treasurer of the ex-

minute and decided to open the big
show. Approaching Bow he said:
young man, you will be the first
person through the gates of the A-Y-

At first Bow did not exactly COM

the half dollar slip from his fingers

ninety thousand persons, the attend

not so great as was at first believed.
Although it will take some time to
make the necessary repairs, it is be-
lieved the ship can be removed to

by Thursday.
When the craft is in the shops Yep

Count Zeppelin is not in the least
discouraged by yesterdays mishap.
He points out that it is no argument
against aerial navigation, as even a

were started by the railroad mag
Mates enemies in Wall street, who
hoped thereby to make a raid on the

cier's absence in Europe.
"Mr. Hartman is in exceedingly
good health, except for q twinge of
muscular rheumatism now and then"
said DIR. William G. Lyle at his office
so West Fifty eighth street. "I have
been his physician pretty nearly all
the time he has had one and I know
there is nothing organically wrong
with Mr.. Hartman, in spite of all the
reports his foes have sent broadcast
since he began his tour Of Europe.
He went to Europe to consult spe-
cialist on my advice, but purely to

Roseburg is several weeks earlier
than in other parts of the state. Next
year the ladies will plan a display of

ATTORNEY RICHARDS
WILL LEAVE CITY

N, c. Richards, of the law firm of
Raley, Richards & Raley, is to leave
the city. He will move to North va
kima to reside and to practice his pro-
fession. With his family he will leave
Pendleton Thursday If his present
plans are carried out.
1t Is owing largely to his connection
with the Yakima valley transportation
company that Mr.. Richards decided
to move to the central Washington
city, He is the attorney and financial
manager for the traction company
and in that capacity was in Yakima
for several weeks recently. This COM
pany Is to extend the present traction
lines out of North Yakima and will
build branch lines to Mckee and to
Ahtanaum valley. The work to be
done will cost $1,000,000 and the COM
pany has guaranteed to spend half
million dollars during the next year.
AS he will have much to do with the
expenditure of this money 1t will be
seen that Mr.. Richards is entering
North Yakima under very favorable
circumstances.
In North Yakima Mr.. Richards will
become the law partner of Fred Par
ker, former partner of Federal Judge
Whitson, Mr.. Richards will take the
vacancy in the firm created by the ap-
pointment of Judge Whitson to the
federal bench,
During the year that have been
in Pendleton l have been well treated
and I greatly regret to leave the city,"

WANTS TO COLLEC WAGES PICTURE SWINDLE WORKING
Valley City People Have Gone Up
Against an Enlargins Picture Graft
Company Promises to Locate In
City but Wants to Sell Some
Frames First.

Valley City, Sept. .2O.--The people of
Valley City are being victimized by
the latest ''enlarged picture swim
die. Two different sets of smooth
tongued gentlemen are in the city
and each is promising, independent
of the other, to come here about jan
l and establish a studio and make
Valley City their headquarters. In
cidentally they are securing a limit
ed number of pictures from the best
families which they will enlarge free
of cost, provided that when they are
finished, they adorn the walls of the
parlor of "the best family" as a mat
ter of advertisement. When the
proof is brought for inspection, a
frame, costing three or four times
what such a frame could be purchas-
ed for at one of our furniture stores,
and the lady of the house must ad-
vance the cost of the frame in cash
before the picture is completed. The
price of the enlarged picture is added
to the cost of the frame-and there
you are. The ''best family" and "stu-
dio" gags are but tricks of the trade.

REGISTRATIONS.

The oath that Is required OF ap-
plicants for registration for the
drawings Of the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne reservation lands, includes
among other things an affidavit that
the applicant honestly desires to en-
ter public lands for his own personal
use as a home, and for settlement
and cultivation and not for specu-
lation or solely as an investment.
and that he presents his application
for that purpose only"
There may be some persons who
will be able to reconcile this affidavit
with a real intention to file II the
land proves to be unusually choice,
and to speculate if the land offers
the best inducement for that pur-
pose. But it is the object of the
government to discourage this class
of registrations and to insure as far
as possible that the land shall go to
actual and bona f1de settlers, who in
tend to live on and cultivate it.
To this end the cooperation of all
citizens having the best interests Of
the state should be enlisted. The
best ultimate interests of the state
lie In he actual settlement and Guilt
vaion of these lands. The drawing
should not be looked upon merely
as an opportunity for exploit the de-
sires of spectators. It is big thing,
the opening of these lands. and will
be of great benefit to the state If the
lands are settled upon made produc-
tive. The provision in the affidavit
required of applicants is wise and
should be lied up to in letter and
spirit.
