WOULD ENLARGE
DISTRICT FAIR

To enlarge the Umatilla- Morrow
fair from a district to a state insti-
tuition is the plan now being discussed
by the officials and members of the
fair board. according to a statement
issued this morning by President G.
l.. Hurd just prior to his departure
for his home at Stanfieild.
81 see no reason" he said, "why
our fair could not be made into an
eastern oregon fair. At present the
distance between eastern Oregon and
Salem makes a barrier to our credit
able representation at the annual
state fair and thus the people going
there see what practically amounts to
a Willamette valley fair.
II understand that there has been
some talk in the past towards en-
larging our fair but now is the time
to strike. With the Roundup draw
ing thousands to Pendleton from all
over the United States, this city is
the logical place for display of the
agricultural and horticultural products
which are grown on this side of the
Cascade mountains"
The fair board this year sent passes
To every member of the legislature
and many responded in person. They
saw the possibilities lying in the situ-
alton here at Roundup time and l
think would be very favorably dis
posed toward an appropriation for
the enlargement of the scope of the
fair"

She declared that there Is an inti-
mate connection between the devel-
opment of the industries and the
advancement of our country life. The
housekeeper has 1t in her power Ia
dc much towards building up local in
dustres by giving all local products
the benefit of all patronage possible
In Washington there is a league OF

from the present lists it is recited by
Mrs. Lowell that she induced one la
dy to make exhibits to her sorrow. An
entry fee was required for the dis
play and when prizes were awarded 1t
was found there was no cash prize for
the work exhibited. Hence the lady
was compelled to pay out her money
with no chance of success.
Mrs. Lowell also points out that
many women refuse to send art ex-
hibits to the fair because of the COM
bustible character of the present pa
vllion. Many have antiques and
works of art they would gladly dis
play were they assured of their safety
She urges that a permanent fire proof
pavilion should be erected for the fall
or else the art exhibit should be held
in good room elsewhere In the city
such as the city hall assembly room.

Washington. Oct. 3.-Men and wo-
men stood on chairs and cheered ].
p. Morgan today as he left the COM
mittee room at the conclusion of his
testimony in the campaign fund
hearing. The questioning of Morgan
was orderly.
Morgan was on the stand fifty four
minutes in the probe into the contri-
buttons of 1904. 1908 and 1912.
Senator Paynter conducted the
questioning. The financier admitted
the contribution of a hundred thou
sand dollars to the 1904 fund. He
admitted his close relations with the
late Cornelius n. Bliss, treasurer of
the republican national committee in
1904. The committee recessed at
noon until tomorrow, when Roose-
welt testifies.
Morgan was accompanied to Wash
ington by his son-in-law, Herbert
Satterlee, his daughter and Mrs.
Hamilton. Morgan's daughter smil-
ed throughout her fathers testimony.
but Satterlee was nervous. The bank
er shook hands with the committee
men upon leaving the stand. Judge
/ Charles Duell followed him in the
witness chair.
Morgan reached the committee
room at 9:55. He conversed private
ly with Chairman Clapp. Clapp then
read the published charges that
| Roosevelt commanded Morgan to
/ raise a hundred thousand dollars in
| 1904. The witness said he did not re-
/ ceive an application for money from
! any candidate. He said he did not
/ talk to Roosevelt on the phone about
| contributions. He said he gave
! hundred thousand dollars to the ma
I tional and fifty thousand dollars to
/ the New York campaign funds
Referring TO the 1905 campaign,
! Morgan said: "I paid Treasurer
Sheldon $4,000 on one occasion. My
memorandum shows that in October
2 l paid him 10000 in cash. sherman
/ visited me only once. If made 9TH
I er contributions they We're moderate
| and inconsequential.'
Morgan stated that neither he nor
any of his business associates contrib
uted to the pre-convention campaigns
in 1912. Morgan said his views were
not affected by Judge Alton B. Par
ker's views on the trust question.
There was no understanding" he
said, "between the interests nor
did they meet separately at any time.
So far as l know no combination of
interests favored the republicans in
1904"
Morgan admitted frequent confer
ences were held between George W.
Perkins and President Melen, adding:
Perhaps they may have thought they
would be benefited by the election of
republican candidates. But I found
that gratitude was a scarce commod-
ity."
Dueu testified he knew nothing of
the two hundred and fifty thousand
tdollar subscription by the late +. II.
Hartman alleged to have been col
lected for Roosevelts 1904 campaign
He said that if such collection was
made it was never recorded by Treas
urer Bliss.

ROUNDUP BROUGHT
PLENTY OF CASH


1t is the estimate of George. Hart
man, Jr., treasurer of the Roundup
and assistant cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank, that the Roundup
brought between half million and
three fourths million dollars this
year.
1T is hard to tell exactly how much
money came to the city through the
Roundup But / estimate the sum as
being from 100000 to 1850, 600.
Some of the money has not yet been
turned into the banks. But judging
from what has been deposited, from
the attendance at the show and the
probable expense of those attending
consider the visitors left over halt
million here and possibly three
fourths OF a million"

SEATTLE TO Be
HERE NEXT YEAR

Indicating that Seattle will be one
of the best represented cities in the
northwest at the 1913 Roundup is
letter received this morning from
Dr.. Park Weed Willis, a prominent
physician of that city who was pres
ent at one day of the 1912 show. 1t
is a letter of unqualified and un-
stinted praise for the Pendleton insti-
tuition and is addressed to Mark
Moorhouse, one of the directors. 1t
reads:
september 80, 1912.
Ny Dear Mark: | want To take
this opportunity to congratulate you
and the management of the Round
up upon the splendid success YOU
achieved in the recent exhibition.
had the pleasure of being there only
one day as YOU know, but / consider
il the best thing that | have ever
seen anywhere and certainly when we
think of how well twenty-five thous-
and people were entertained in Pen
dleton with only five thousand popu-
lation it is really marvel. Every
where we hear splendid words for
the Roundup and it is certainly true
that you have the biggest city for its
size anywhere and you really and
truly give the best show on earth.
The railroads did not seem to be
prepared for the occasion this year as
is was impossible to get a through
sleeper on the Northern Pacific from
Seattle to Pendleton until Thursday
night and then it was not known
when we could return. BY advertis-
ing properly and putting on through
trains, with the seed that has been
sown in the Puget Sound region, ]
am sure that another year you will
have several carloads out of Seattle
l hope that they will continue the
high standard of the performance
and l do not believe the people would
object if you should raise the price
of your seats in the grandstand. \
dollar and a half for the ordinary
grandstand seats and two and "a half
for the box seats would be very reas-
enable. The absence of graft about
the grounds as we'll as your town was
very marked and the fact that you
posted the prices Of various articles
for sale about the grandstand was
an assurance to the public that they
would have fair dealing. Upon re-
turning home l find there are many
people in Seattle who have already
heard of the splendid performance
and are planning to be there next
year.
With best wishes and again thank
ing you for your kindness in secur-
ing seats for me, l remain,
Yours sincerely.

PREMIUM LISTS NOT SUFFICIENT

Since the close of the district fair
complaints have come to light regard
ing the premium lists in the women's
or art department. 1t Is complained
they are woefully out of date and so
incomplete as to greatly interfere with
a successful exhibit in those lines.
Mrs. S. A. Lowell who has been
much interested in the art department
OF the pair in the past, points out that
the lists need revising and need to be
extended so as to allow of the dis
playing of many things in fancy
work not called for now. Each year
the feminine hand turns to new work
along this line and to get the best re-
suits the lists should be changed an
nually and by a committee of women
familiar with the subject.

the company would construct this
mausoluem without cost to the city
and would thus place at the disposal
of local people ESQ valuts in which
their dead may be inferred should
they prefer such form of interment to
burial. The chapel would be open for
use at any funeral and the receiving
vault would accommodate such bod
les as were not ready for permanent
burial The company proposes to
turn over ten dollars from the sale
of each tomb to the trustees OF the
cemetery to be held in fund for the
upkeep of the burial grounds.
