.HERM|STON TO HAVE
A TREE FESTIVAL

That at least $4,000 trees will be
planted at Hermiston and close vi
cinity within the next few weeks was
declared by c. E. Baker, editor of the
Hermiston Herald who was here last
evening.
Plans are now underway for an ell
aborate tree planting festival for
April 3. on that day trees will be
planted on every street in the new lit
tie city. The tree planting will be
general in the business and residence
sections and even on streets where
there are now no houses.
1t is the intention TO observe April
3 as a sort of a tree holiday and on
that occasion every resident of the
town will do his share toward beau
tifying the city.
While here last evening Mr. Baker
purchased a small cylinder press that
was formerly used by the Pendleton
printery in publishing the Monday
Magnet. Mr.. Baker will add the press
to the mechanical equipment of the
Herald and will henceforth publish
his paper without any patent pages.

At the request of Major A. E. Nc

dian reservation, a committee repre-
senting the Pendleton Commercial as
socation, the Umatilla county wool
growers association and the county
good roads association is meeting with
the agent at the agency this after
noon The conference was requested
for discussion of the proposed road
across the reservation.
II is understood that the free road
is practically assured and that all
that remains is an agreement as to
details and the conforming to the
usual amount of department red tape.
One of the principal things to be
agreed upon is the route of the pro-
posed road or roads. The stockmen
desire to have a main road from this
city to Wenaha springs and also to
have two connecting roads. One of
these they would have extend from a
point about three miles south of PEN
dleton in a northern and easterly di-
rection, connecting with the main
road, about five or six miles east Of
this city. The other they would have
run from Adams, connecting with the
main road by means of the new gov
ernment bridge across the Umatilla
at Cayuse.
Whether this arrangement will be
satisfactory to the government re-
mains TO be seen.

automobiles this afternoon was as

WASHINGTON Feb. 10.-Represen-
tative Rainev of Illinois, whose recent
derogatory statements on the floor of

by the administration, today made the
following statement: II seem to have
been elected to the Annanias club at

modesty the new honor conferred on
me- Better men than belong to this
distinguished organization. On ac-
count of it's large membership it is
not as much of an honor to belong to
IT as it was three or four years ago.
There may not be many additions aft
er March 4. however ! had not ex-
pected President O'Baldia and his ad-
ministration to agree with my esti-
mate of him and did not expect the
President of the United States to
agree with ME in my estimate of him.
In order to be entitled to membership
in the Annanias club it is only neces-
sary to exercise diligence and arrive
at some facts not complimentary to
/ the present administration and then
have the courage to make them public.
Later in the session I will have some.
