There the machine was being sent along at pretty good speed, when sud- denly the steering gear failed to act-Mr. Mascarefias thinks it had become disconnected.

Another Accident.

Sunday evening MT. Alberto Mascarehas, manager of the local branch of the Banco de Sonora, on the Sonora side of the line, exper- fenced another accident with his automobile-the same machine in which he was overturned two weeks before. This time the consequences were far more painful to all con cerned than, was the first accident, although there were no serious in. juries except to the machine. ....
 During the day MT, Mascarehas visited the Santa Babara ranche, out on the Santa Cruz river, and he was accompanied by three of his subordinates in the bank-Mr. Carlos Rivera, the cashier, and the book-keeper and the collector, whose names the reporter did not learn. At about five o'clock in the evening the party had returned to Nogales, Sonora, It was proposed that they cross the machine over the line and take spin down the road toward Calabasas, and the proposition was embraced. Every thing went along all right until the machine got into the stretch. of straight level road about a mile

COTTONWOOD
From the Chronicle.

Roy Williams, who resides down in
Grave creek canyon south of Cotton
wood, has on display at the Parker
store a squash raised on his place this
year that weighs 70 pounds When
the squash was young Mr.. Williams
scratched his name on it and as it
grew the name grew with it and shows
up in nice shape. 1t is certainly a
nice specimen and contains the ma
kins of a great many pies. If any
body doubts our word as to its weight
let them step into the store and try
to walk off with it.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. c. Quigley were
both painfully injured in a runaway
accident near Ferdinand last Friday
and only by good fortune escaped
without serious or fatal injuries.
They were riding on IA high wagon
and driving four horses when the ac-
..cident occurred. The team scared at
something and turned round, break
ing the tongue out of the wagon and
throwing Mr.. and Mrs. Quigley in
amongst the horses In the mix-up
the lady received broken nose and
three cracked ribs while Hold escaped
with slightly fractured skull and a
number of painful bruises but was
able to 90 out and cry a sale few
days later. Both were fortunate to
escape as luckily as they did.
We thought last week the limit had
been reached when Henry Forsmann,
of Keuterville, brought in a 4-pound
potato, but we were mistaken. Sid

who were present when the "spuds

breaking all previous records to smith
Greens by producing individual
.'murphies' Of such generous proper
tons, Brown says he has five potatoes
dug from a single bill, that weigh p
pounds and wants to known il there is
any farmer hereabouts who can beat
them. He also has small squash
that weighs 81 pound and claims to
have single squash vine that pro
duced this year a greater aggregate
weight Of squashes than any other
single squash vine in the country. All
OF the above were grown without irri-

AN EDUCATED FOOL.

Idiots like Prof, Hamilton of the
University of California are respon-
sible for many race riots. He has de-
clared the belief that the Jeffries-
Johnson fight showed the equality OF
the black and white races. 1t did
nothing of the sort and nobody but
an imbecile could express the senti-
ments credited to this Hamilton. The
fight simply showed that as a pugilist
johnson was superior to his has
been" opponent. 1t does not even
show that the colored race is equal or
superior to the white race in a ply
seal sense. one German might whip
an Irishman yet that would not show
the physical superiority of the Ger
man people over the Irish.
Just after the civil war there were
many fools like Prof. Hamilton.
They were found among the carpet
baggers and scalawags who invested
the south in the reconstruction days
and made that period the blacklist in
American history. They tried to
preach equality of the races, but the
scheme was a tragic failure just as it
will be every time the experiment is
tried. Nor is this any reflection upon
the black race. That race is handi-
capped in competing with the white
man. The colored race was taken
out of savagery but few generations
since. Caucasians on the other hand
have been climbing the ladder of CIV
iIzation for thousands of years. The
black race cannot hope to catch up
and this fact involves no disgrace to
that race either.
II is true that the colored people
are making progress as are all other
races. For this progress colored peo-
pie are entitled to credit and to en-
But the true friend of
the colored man advises him to main
tain his race entity and to work in
that sphere for which nature has fit
ted him. The man who talks of race
equality and especially of social equal
ity is either a fool or a knave. Where
ever his advice has been followed it
has resulted in disaster and it always
will

A JADED HORSE.

The argument is made that the as
sembly was devised to reunite the re-
publican party within this state. 1t
was not. The real forces back of the
assembly scheme, though not the sur
face supporters, do not care whether
the republican or the democratic par
ty is in power. They use both parties
and one party about as much as the
other. What these "higher ups want
are afraid of the direct primary be-
cause under that system people elect
debted only to the public. The
higher ups" want a centralized au-
thority in the person of a machine
boss. They want to be able to go to
such a man and say 1--WE want this
sort Of man for governor, or for
senator or for Judge" and be able to
get what they want. The plea that
the assembly was devised to promote
the welfare of the republican party is
purely hypocrisy. That plea is made
because partisanship is a horse the
higher ups" have often ridden in the
past and ridden with success. But
he is now a jaded old skate and the
people who rely upon him these days
generally fail.

ANOTHER "LOST" ART.

The late Wendell Phillips did not
include conversation as among the
lost arts he discussed in his pop
ular lecture. Since his time, how
ever, many writer's have been keen
to note how we have fallen off in
powers of speech. \ Mr. Horatio S.
Kraus has embodied all that is really
memorable on the subject in a vol
ume which he frankly entities "The
Lost Art Of Conversation"
It would seem. upon a moments
consideration, as being very eXtraor-
dinary. indeed. that an age SO wise
as ours. with so many persons of in
creasing intelligence with a voca-
bulary enlarged To an extent beyond
the dreams Of the great leXicograph-
er who created Rasselas, should vet
be unable to talk with skill. We do
not believe this is so. What has
happened in the evolution of social
converse is quite clear and all for the
good of a patient race
Who would tolerate the Socratic
dialogues today? Who would care to
listen to the dogmatic utterances Of
De Quincy of Coleridge, of Dr.
Johnson? These men never advanc-
ed or even illustrated the art of con-
versation. However great they may
have been, and however weighty the
things they said. they yet, did not
converse 1t was dictatorial mono
logue with one and all of them. and
as opposed to that-the monotonous
ipse dixits of Macaulay-there is
much to be said in favor of plain and
simple chit-chat or gossip. That art
is not lost 1t is the froth of speech.

FOR \ "BUNLPER, FAIR.

Within a very short time the open
ing date for the Third district fair
will be at hand If the fair commits
sion lives up to its past record the
coming fair will be the best that has
been held. Thus far each fair has
been just a little bit better than it's
predecessor.
Now Pendleton wants this repu
tation sustained. Pendleton wants the
district fair to succeed and grow In
size and in popularity. This hope
may be gratified if only the proper
work is done. Nor may all the labor
be left upon the shoulders of the fair
commissioners. 1t is true that the
chief burden must fall upon those
men. The success of the fair will de-
pend primarily upon the amount of
interest and energy devoted to the
work by President c. r. Roosevelt and
his colleagues upon the fair board.
But the community at large can do
much towards making the fair suc-
cess. Every local resident and every
resident of Umatilla county or of
Morrow should be a booster for the
fair Especially is this true with re-
srects to local businessmen.
Now while we yet have the time
let us all get busy and work for a
greater and more popular Third Dist
rict fair. It will be worth while to
do so.
