FAIR PAVILION IS
BEING IMPROVED
CARPENTERS AND PAINTERS
ARE BUSILY AT WORK
Entire Interior of Wall Will be White
washed-Other Improvements and
Changes to be Made-Business Men
Urged to Brighten up Their Fronts.

The district fair pavilion is now in
the hands of the carpenters and paint
ers.
The work of preparing the big
building for the fair was started about
ten days earlier than usual this year
and it is expected that with this start
no difficulty will be experienced in
having everything in complete readi-
ness by the time the doors are swung
open, Monday afternoon, Sept. 2s.
The entire inside of the pavilion is
to be whitewashed, thereby greatly
improving the appearance and maxi
ing the work of inside decoration
much easier. Many other improve
ments and changes are also to be
made. An awning is now being put
up in front of the corner occupied by
the office.
The committee which has in charge
the matter Of street decorations is al
so at work and expects soon to COM
plete the details of the decoration
scheme. When these details are
worked out it is believed that 1t will
be found a plan has been evolved
which will add greatly to the ap-
pearance of the city during fair week.
Local merchants and property hold
ers are also taking kindly to the sug-
gestion that every business front in
the city Of Pendleton be frightened
up. Some of the business men have
already painted the fronts Of their
buildings and it is believed that the
remainder will follow the example
which has been set

Heres signed a reprieve, and Graby's
death sentence was transmitted to life
imprisonment.
The sensational murder OF Madame
Gouin came shortly after the Stein
he'll case caused furore throughout
France. At the outset there were no
clues, and the authorities admitted
themselves baffled until passengers
upon the train recalled that they had
seen two French soldiers in uniform,
who had acted suspiciously, leave the
train.
The degradation Of Grady and
Michael before their regiment took
place recently. 1t was a solemn scene.
One of the interesting school fetes
recently was the distribution Of GER
tificates Of progress and capacity at
the City OF Paris Technical School for
Girls. 1t is strictly a school for
trades and housekeeping" and is in
the Rue Fondary. To enter it a girl
must have gone through the whole
primary course at a communal school.
The age limits are from 13 to is. and
the pupil leaves at the end of the
third year. The great houses OF busi-
ness show keen interest in their
work. and generosity by sending ma
terials for them to work upon. The
competition among them to secure the
services of graduates is keen also.
Some girls have entered on schol-
arships given by the city. Others pay
fees. A great number, as deserving
pupils at primary schools, are receiv-
ed because they are poor and good
girls. The directress alone knows Of
the poverty of their families. All the
girls take turns in the kitchen in pre-
pairing the midday meal, which is for
the whole school. They also take
turns in helping the "housekeepers'
to tidy up. There are eight trades di-
modes, artificial
flowers and feather mounting, chill
dren's dresses, embroidery of tissues
for wearing apparel and furniture,
corsets, ladies' vests and jackets lin
gerie. clear starching and fine iron
ing.
All the housekeepers practice plain
sewing, mending and darning.

CAR MURDERERS ARE
SENT UP FOR LIFE

Paris.-The last dramatic chapter
in the sensational murder OF Madame
Gouin. who was mysteriously killed
and robbed about a year ago on a
railway train near Paris, was enacted
last week when Michael Grady the
French soldier who, with another SOL
dier named Michael committed the
deed, was transported to New Gale

penal servitude. Michael was first
sentenced to life imprisonment in the

Lewiston, Idaho.-Three connties
are to pay for two steel bridges to be

the Nez Perce-Latah boundary line
and the expense of construction will
be borne jointly by these counties,
while the Lawyer canyon bridge is
also boundary structure and will be
paid for by Nez Perce and Idaho

PAYETTE VALLEY HAS
A BIG FRUIT CROP

Payette, Idaho.-According to esti-
mates given out by the big orchard
men and the managers of the large
packing houses, $50 cara Of winter
apples will be shipped from this point
and $50 cars of prunes. This is a
very conservative estimate, and the
shipments may exceed that number,
The question of securing help is a
most serious one, but the women Of
the valley can always be depended
upon to lend their assistance in times
of need, and many who do not as
rule work in the orchards and pack
ing houses will do so this year. This
means that many thousands of dollars
will be returned to the growers wives
and daughters which would otherwise
be paid out to help. which in many
cases is most incompetent, although

PRIZE FOR BEST PACKED
CARLOAD OF APPLES

Spokane, Wash.-Recognizing the
Importance OF the industry in the box
apple states and placing it's stamp of
approval upon the enterprise, the
Chicago Association Of Commerce, In
the name of its Northwest Pacific
coast trade extension delegation, has
presented massive silver trophy cup
suitably engraved, to the National
Apple Show, Inc, for award to the
best packed carload Of apples exhibit
ed in Spokane, November IA to 10.
1--WE believe that by offering the
Chicago trophy to the carload scor-
ing highest on pack the competition
for the $1,000 prize will be keener
than under any other condition" said
Ren H. Rice, secretary and manager
of the National Apple Show. while
climate, soil, sunshine and moisture
are, Of course, the chief factors in ap-
pie growing, we believe that when an
exhibitor receives a prize because his
apples are packed better than all
others, he wins personal recognition
fir his skill and knowledge.
THE Chicago Association of Com
merce comprises 32 divisions, repre-
senting the business, manufacturing
shipping and professional life OF the
great city. 1t is deply interested in
the plan Of sending the prize exhibits
at the National Apple Show and dis
trict displays to Chicago after the
close of the exposition in Spokane and
through its executive committee II
has rendered its services in making
a success Of the show in the First
Regiment Armory. Chicago, Novem-
Der % to December 4. The influence
of the powerful association means
much 10 the Chicago show, which will
be under the same auspices as the ex-
position in Spokane"

A ROUGH TRIP
EXPERIENCED
BY FISHERMEN
SMACK MARY LOUISE, ABSENT
FORTY DAYS, CAME INTO PORT
LAST NIGHT AND THRILLING
STORY WAS RELATED.

Absent forty days, losing three
anchors, experiencing the coolest of
weather, the most adverse of winds
and the biggest seas they have ever
ran into, was the substance of a story
told by the crew of the fishing schoon-
er Mary Louise, which reached port
last night, bringing but four thousand
pounds of red snappers, thus making
what the fishermen term "a broken
trip" Captain Harry Thames sought
a room early after his smack ar
rived, but to a Journal representative
soon after his arrival he said that the
weather was as cold as he ever knew
it to be in the gulf; the seas the
toughest, and the winds as high.
Forty days ago the smack left Pen
socola for the snapper banks. The
vessel was fishing west of Tampa
when the weather became so bad that
they had to run for safety. Dropping
anchor again, the chains on both OF
the hooks soon parted and the vessel
had to keep moving for self-preserva-
ton. Then, with the catch aboard,
amounting to about four thousand
pounds, the vessel entered Tampa,
where the fish were sold. Running
outside after being supplied, the
smack again met bad weather, and
an anchor procured in port was drop
ped. That was also lost, with num-
Der of fathoms of rope. The vessel
then sought the port of St. Peters
burg, remaining there until the wealth
err moderated to some extent. It was
thought best to come on to Pen
sacola with what fish the boat had,
and men were happy to return alive
and we'll, even if they did not make
a great deal of money on the long
time VOYAGE
