recruit list. The local club offered
to sell the two together and McCredie
made satisfactory bid. The exact
amount is withheld until the papers
are signed but it is known to be
enough to pull the club out of debt.
Peet was one of the surprises Of
the Western Tri-State league last
year. He was signed by Baker upon
the reputation he had won at the
University of Oregon. He was re-
leased by Baker after game in which
Pendleton chased him from the box
and was signed Immediately by Ter.
ry McKune, who liked his looks. At
once he developed into winning
pitcher and finished the season strong
in the pitching and batting columns.
Haworth played in the outfield and
served as utility catcher during the
fore part of the season. Behind the
bat his work was only fair until
Byrnes was released and he was put
to work regularly. Immediately he
developed into one of the most reli-
able catchers in the league and made
the magnates sit up and take no
tice.

PEET AND HAWORTH
GO TO MERCEDES

Harold Peet and Homer Haworth,
star battery mates on the Pendleton
team OF the Western Tri-State league,
are now the property of the McCred-
les, owners of the Portland teams of
the Pacific Coast and Northwest
leagues, or will be as soon as the for
NAL details have been attended to. A
good offer was made to the local
club and the officials state they are
satisfied with it and will accept it.
For several weeks, different base
hall magnates have been dickering
for Peet, the big sorrel-topped twirl-
er who performed so brilliantly on
she mound for the Buckarooes last
season. Bob Brown of Vancouver
stopped off here while en- route home
from the east and made the club an
offer for him. McCredie has already
made an offer for him and also was
desirous of putting Haworth on his

Grateful for Rabbits.

Secretary C. X. Cranston of the
Pendleton Commercial association
this morning received letter from
Rev. W. G. McLaren, superintendent
of the Portland Commons, expressing
gratitude for the shipment of 500
rabbits to him last Friday evening.
He states that he feels sure the peo-
pie here who were instrumental in
sending the rabbits would have felt
repaid for their efforts had they seen
the demand for them from the poor
people of Portland. He adds that
there were 1000 unemployed men in
line marching through the streets OF
Portland Sunday and he feels that the
winter will be a severe one on them.
B. Parlett, agent of the American Ex-
ress Co., and d. B. Waffle also re-
ceived letters of thanks, the one for
securing a free rate on the shipment
and the other for hauling the rabbits
in from the scene Of the drive.

PORTLAND ALSO MAY
HAVE GRAIN ELEVATOR
SEATTLES BID FOR UNSACKED
GRAIN MAY BRING ACTION
IN METROPOLIS.
Farmers Assert Unsacked Wheat
VIII Mean Big Saving To Growers
Others Contend Sacked Wheat
Brings Higher Prices.

If grain from the inland empire is
to be handled in bulk instead Of In
sacks Portland as we'll as Seattle will
make arrangements to take care Of
such wheat. The chamber of COM
merce Is at work on the subject and
1t Is the expectation that the public
dock to be in Portland will provide
for an elevator.
1t appears the impression formerly
prevailed among the Portland dock
commissioners that no facilities were
needed for handling grain IN bulk and
therefore no plans were being made
towards the construction of an eleva-
tor. But the success of the farmers
union in inducing the Seattle docks
commission to take up the idea has
brought about change of sentime mt
in Portland and being unwilling to
lose business to the sound the SUBJ
ject of elevator facilities for Port
land has been revived and 1t Is prob
able the chamber of commerce will
urge the docks commission to pro-
vide facilities for handling bulk grain
1t Is urged by the representatives
Of the farmers unions that ~ handlo
wheat in bulk rather than in sacks
will work substantial saving to far
mers each year through saving them
the necessity Of buying sacks On the
other hand it is declared that sack
grain commands a higher price than
loose grain and this fact accounts for
the handling Of wheat In sacks.

CHAPTER II.


In September, looking from the
courthouse Square of Rome, one sees
the ripening of corn like a bronze
shield on the hills which close every
street end beyond the arching sugar
trees. The bottoms, too, are choeed
by the lust of the corn, and the church
spires and the ragged sycamores along
the roadsides rise out of this opulent
sea from the river to the bluffs as il
drowning in the perfume Of the tas-
sells. These west bluffs alone seem to
evade the conquest; one sees a road
winding up a red gap among groves
of oak, hickory, walnut; with the GRIM
son sumac and alders showing light
er soil, the upland groupings of shale,
clay, and stony ridges. Here one has
glimpses of clover and oat stubble,
rounded stacks, barns, windmills, white
farm homes, and wire fences about
shaded pastures. But beyond, the tri-
umphant sea of the corn stretches
north and west across the Iowa Mid
lands, for there is no trace of the vir-
in soil, the short grass as the Indians
rode it when the settlers of the eos
came.
1t is a land fat to bursting with
numberless rich and complacent little
cities. The county annals show you
that the people never have hungered,
fought, nor suffered. From the very
first every man lad his bag of silver
under the puncheon floor of his cabin
and went forth to buy the acres as the
Sacs and Foxes moved away. The sec
ond year they ate their own corn with
