contest and students gathering in
Little Rock comes from Harrison,
and is styled the Harrison High
School Band, 1t is composed of 20
pieces, combined into a musical or
ganization of rare merit and is a
distinct compliment to the town of
Harrison as well as an unusual
credit to the high school Of that en-
terprisng little city.
Few schools in the state can boast
a band at all, and none have a more
finished set Of young musicians than
that accredited to Harrison The
organization is under the direction
Of Harry {, Newman, himself an
able cornetist, and has the following

SUNSHINE STARTS
HARVESTING AGAIN

once again harvest is running full
blast and, if the present ideal weather
continues for another ten days, almost
every head of grain in the county will
have been threshed. Following two
weeks of rainy weather, which caused
much damage to the standing grain
and caused some sprouting in the
sacked wheat, the present bright clear
days have come as a godsend to the
farmers.
1t is estimated that fully twenty
per cent of the county's crop is still
uncut, most of the standing grain be-
ing in the foothills and outlying Sec
tions The grain threshed during the
past two days shows the effect of the
rains in its loss of color and weight
but most of it is still firm and will
command fair price yet.
Reports from Meacham and other
places on the mountain are to the ef-
feet that much of the grain there is
still green and considerable more
sunshine is necessary if the crop is to
be harvested at all.

JACKSON ST. RESIDENTS WANT CITY TOPAy HALF

a moment an action so unjust to the
property owners of other streets.
1T would mean that the council
would be mobbed.' said one owner
who is an advocate of paving II
would be glad to have the city assume
half of my burden, but why it should
do so and thus discriminate in my
favor, l fail to see. In my opinion,
the move had its inception with those
who have been from first to last
against hard surface pavement and
now hope to forestall any further ef-
fort of the council toward paving the
street. Some of the signers may
have been deceived into thinking that
the city would assume half the cost
but. in my opinion, the trainers of
the petition did not design it for that
purpose. l give them credit for too
much intelligence than to suppose
the council would accede to their re-
quest or even consider it. One Of the
principal advocates of the new move
intimated to me that If the council re-
fused to consider the petition, a re-
monstrance would follow and 1 am
firmly of the opinion that the peti-
ton was designed for no other pur-
pose than to work up sentiment that
would result in an effective remon-
strance'

sition to Taking Boats From
Columbia.

Tomorrow afternoon a combined
effort on the part of Umatill acounty
and Lewiston business men is to be
made to prevent discontinuance of

Columbia and the Snake rivers. A
meeting is to be held in the local
Commercial club at 1880 and every
business man in the city and county

voice in protest against move that

to this part of the northwest.
A representative of the open River

ance at the meeting and a delegate
from the Lewiston Commercial Club
will arrive by auto sometime during
the morning Umatilla, Hermiston
Stanfield, Echo and Pilot Rock as well
as other communities over the county
will also be represented at the meet
ing.
Secretary Keete of the local Com
mercial association has received a let
ter from the Hood Rived Commercial
club stating that the merchants and
shippers of that city in a body are
protesting against the contemplated
action of the transportation company
while the Portland Chamber of Com
merce is also taking active steps to

JAIL AFTRE, MAN INSIDE,
AND KEY A MILE AWAY

Houlton, Or, Sept 11.-Great vol
umes of smoke gushing from the bar
red window of the Houlton Jail yes
terday afternoon attracted the atten-
ton of a crowd to the fact that a pris-
oner, an unidentified German, was in
danger of being burned alive. The
city marshal, S. S. Long, was a mile
away with the key to the Jail in his
pocket
Harry Bennett, st. Helens barber,
took in the situation as he rode past
on his bicycle and started on a wild
dash toward the home of Marshal
Long. When he got the door open
the man as unconscious and had to
be carried out. He was soon revived,
however, and was carried back into
the Jail after the fire was extinguish-
ed.
The old man demonstrated on hav-
ing to return to the jug" but all that
could be understood from his efforts
to talk was "Toast German" Ger
man toast" German toast"

The jury recommended a change in
the assignment of offices in the court
suggesting that the present county

THIS CITY TOMORROW

Early tomorrow morning Theodore
Roosevelt, candidate of the new pro-
g. essive- party for the presidency of
the United States will pass through
Pendleton but his familiar figure will
not be seen or his fighting voice heard
in this city, for the illustrious colonel
will be wrapped in the sweet oblivion
Of sleep. However, that they might
not be deprived of the opportunity to
hear their chosen leader enunciate his
principles of faith a carload of local
bull moosers' will couple on to No
and trail along in the wake of the
sleeping statesman until such time as
refreshed he will arise to another day
of campaign combat.
Roosevelt is in Portland today and
will leave that city tonight on No. 6
for La Grande where tomorrow he is
scheduled to be the great attraction
at the Union county fair. on board
the train with him will be Dr. I. U.
Temple, local head of the bull moose
party, who is one of the members of
the reception committee in Portland
today. II was through DIR. Temple
that the Roosevelt Special Car" was
arranged for and he has promised To-
cal people who make the trip to La
Grande that Roosevelt will enter their
car enroute to the Union county city
and greet them.

When the council meets this even
ing it will probably be presented with
a petition signed by certain Jackson
street property owners asking it TO
pay fifty per cent of the cost of the
proposed Improvement of that thor
oughfare presumably on the grounds
that that particular street, leading as
it does to the branch hospital, is more
particularly a city highway than any
other.
The petition has been circulated
during the past few days and has a
number of signers, the majority of
whom it is said, have been consist
emily opposed to hard surface pave
ment. There are a number of names
on the petition, however, which APP
pear on the petition asking for the
pavement of the street. A consider
able number of others absolutely re-
fused to become parties to what they
termed ridiculous proceeding inso-
far as it hoped to accomplish it's pur-
ported end.
When approached these property
owners declared their willingness to
allow the city to pay half of the eX-
penses of paving but also took occa-

ENGLAND Is LOSING
MENTAL STRENGTH

London, Sept. 11.-That England
is rapidly going to the "demnition
bow-wows," is the opinion of DR.. A.
Tredgold and DR.. Forbes Winslow,
famous British alienists. Others have
said this, notably Field Marshal Earl
Roberts, when he found that he
could not have as many dreadnaughts
as he wished. but the alienists are
referring to the moral and mental
condition of the race.
The former, in a weighty treatise
in the Quarterly Review, says that
the tendency of modern sentiment
and present day civilization is not so
much to aid the fit as to favor the
survival and propagation of the un-
fit. In an interview with the United
Press, DR.. Winslow agreed with his
colleague.
