"SILlS lndL II WAS Ills night OH.

show?"
George returned to the fat on his
next night out. After that he pre-
sented himsC at every opportunity.
He took Bertha sometimes to the
theater, sometimes to an italian
table d'hote" There seemed to be
little doubt of his intentions, and the
mother from behind her blue specta-
cles watched the progress of his
courtship with suppressed excite
ment. Late one night, when he had
brought Bertha back to her door, in
an agitated, half-coherent speech, he
asked her to marry him.

you! But ever since l first saw you

Watching him with intent eyes, de-
liberately she compared him to. the
figures in her dreams. She thought:
1--WE should never be different It
would always be just-this!" Cling
ing to her old visions, her own un-
reasonable hopes, she told him the
truth: she did not love him. He stood
still for a while; then his eyes filed !
with tears, and, turning at last, he
walked away.
She went upstairs to the window |
facing east and stared out over the |
housetops.
Weeks afterward, when her moth |
er, unable longer to contain herself,
asked what had become of George, |
Bertha said calmly:

For a minute the mother sat mo-
tionless. Behind her blue spectacles
she seemed disguised, and Bertha,
looking at her, had for the first time
in her life an mcomprehepsible sen
sation of antagonism. At length, in
a low, trembling voice, the mother
exclaimed: $50 that's what you've

CANAL TOLLS ON
 COASTInG VESSELS
 MAY BE COLLECTED

Washington, D. C.. Dec. 24-Repre- sentative William c. Adamson, chair man of the Rouse Committee on In- terstate and Foreign Commerce, intro duced Q new resolution in the House yesterday on the subject of Panama | Canal tolls, which was said to be indi- cative of the intention of the admin tstration to permit the collection of tolls on coastwise vessels for the first two years the canal is in operation. Heretofore there has been an indi- cation that the administration would favor suspension from the start of the exemption of coastwise vessels provided in the Panama Canal act. MT. Adanson's resolution vests the President with auth ority to restore the free toll provision two years after the canal is opened, Eff in the judg- ment of the President the revenues de- rived from tolls of vessels other than those engaged in the coastwise trade of the United States shall be sufficient to defray the cost of maintaining and operating the canal and the expense of government and sanitation Of the canal zone.''
 MT. AAdamson introduced a resolu- ton sometime ago which would have given the President the authority to suspend the free toll provision at once. His new resolution also makes the de- ferred suspension of coastwise tolls
 
 diplomatic questions touching the treatrne ent of vessels as to conditions of charges or traffic at the canaI.'' The President could suspend the coast wise tolls by the issuance of an exc cutfve order.
 This resolution said MT. Adam son, proposes two things. First, experim ental test to demonstrate whether or not the tolls will pay the expenses of operating the canal ex- elusive of the tolls of the coastwise trade, and the other is to afford op- portunity to adjust all questions of diplomacy touching the tolls.
 Assuming that the advocates of exemption were sincere in their con- tention on these two propositions, it should not prove embarrassing to them at all, nor be regarded as any abandonment of their position, to pass this resolution to test the correctness of the two contentious on the two propositions.
 E'If it is demonstrated that the tolls are sufficient to spare the tolls to the coastwise trade the State Department will be allowed time to adjust ques- tions growing out of treaty stimpu1a- tions, and if the advocates of exemp- in their contention as to a suff1ciency of revenue and the diplomatic ques- tions are settled in their favor, an executive order will then put the ex- emption into force.''

CITY IS THRONGED With PEOPLE
TODAY TO SEE SELLS,FLOTO SHOW

One bright particular feature of the
Sells-Floto circus is the clean manner
in which it is conducted.
General w F. Cody sewers his con-
nection with the Buffalo Bill-Pawnee
Bill shows at the close of the present
season and next season will find him
an important feature with Sells-Floto
Two performances will be given to-
day; the first at 2:15 o'clock in the
afternoon and the second at sis at
night. The doors will be open one
hour earlier in order that those who
wish may visit the magnificent me-
nagerie and horse fair before the per-
formance commences.
1t was in Pendleton last year that
the Sells Floto circus lost Baby Hutch,
the baby elephant. Alice. the oldest
elephant of the herd, and the mother
of Baby Hutch marched at the head
of the elephant section in the parade
today The baby elephant, skillfully
mounted by a taXidermist. was carried
in glass enclosed wagon, this in
scription being printed on the out
side: Little Hutch, Born in Salinas,
Cal. April 25, 1912; Died In Pendle-
ton. Ore. June 6, 1912"
The animal was embalmed here by
Folsom and was mounted in Denver
by taxidermist.

At last the day of all days has ar
rived and the heart of the small boy
as well as many of the older ones is
glad---the big SellsF Floto shows came
in from La Grande in two sections
this morning and the savory smell of
the cook tent soon pervaded the at
mosphere.
This season over 400 people and
800 horses are carried with the show
and for general brightness and clean
illness no other circus is the equal of
Sells-Floto. The parade was fully one
mile in length and was probably as
pretty as was ever seen in Pendleton
the features being a troupe of real
Scotch Kilties and company of
gaily dressed Zouaves on foot. while
many open dens. cages, tableauX wa
gons, mounted men and women and
five bands of music including the
mounted Boy Scouts band of Denver.
followed One particular feature was
a mammoth Berni organ on wheels.
As to the performance. it has al
ways been good, but this season
eclipses anything yet seen under the
Sells-Floto banner. Marvelously train
d lions and tigers performed by a
frai little woman. as well as a large
herd of ponderous elephants handled
entirely by another woman, constitute
the wild animal acts.

For some time II has been apparent
that a determined effort will be
made to turn the national forests
over to the respective states within

present private ownership of the ma

may not be the purpose of some, the
result would be none the less certain.

protection involved, the enormous
stake at issue, the opportunity for ma

London. May 30.-Representatives
of Turkey and the Balkan allies sign
ed the peace treaty today which ends
hostiities. The pact was signed in
the presence of Sir Edward Grey,
British foreign secretary, and several
European ambassadors.
Under the terms of the treaty Tur-
key surrenders all European territor-
les west of a line from Enos, on the
Aegean sea, to Hidia on the Black
sea. Crete is also surrendered. AL
banla will have an autonomous gov
ernment the powers to fix the boun-
daries of the new country while the
remainder Of the territory is divided
among the allies. The line division
is yet undecided. The conference adj
journed sine die.
After the instrument was signed.
Premier Daneff thanked Grey in be-
half of the allies, saying the success
of the negotiations was largely due
to his tact and diplomacy. Other
delegates spoke In similar strain.
After the general peace pact was
signed, Bulgary and Turkey drew up
a separate protocol providing for the
immediate disarmament of both coun-
tries. It is surmised this move was
prompted from Sofia to enable Bull
garia to send all her troops against
Servia. DIR. Daneff stated confiden-
TALLY that he is convinced the dis
agreement of Bulgaria and Servia will
be amicably settled.

MEMORIAL DAY is OBSERVED HERE
IN MANNER FITTING TO OCCASION

Though the presence of the circus
in the city today has caused many to
forget the fact that today is Memorial
Day, the occasion has been observed
here in Pendleton in an appropriate
manner. In order that their program
might not interfere with the desire
of those wishing to attend the big
tented attraction, the committee in
charge arranged to hold the exercis-
es early in the forenoon and this was
done. the crowd arriving back from
the ceremony by 10 o'clock.
At $50 the veterans of the civil
Indian and Spanish wars formed in
line behind the local band at the
court house and marched down Court
street to Garden where they were
picked up by autoes and conveyed to
the burial grounds There they listen

impressive address by Judge stephen

The speakers talk was calculated
to stir the patriotic impulses of his
hearers and he dwelt largely upon
the Battle Hymn of the Republic" ="
which had its birth in times which
tried mems souls and which served
its purpose as has no other hymn in
all history unless it be the Marseillaise.
Judge Lowell recited the history of
that song. a history not commonly
known 1t was written by Julia
Ward Howe during the darkest days
of the civil war when the armies of
the north had met repeated reverses
and the south was everywhere tri-

speaker, Julia Ward Howe was in
Washington doing active service in
relief societies and was in daily con-
sultation with Lincoln. One night
after a conference with the president
she went to her bed with gloom and
depression settled over her soul. yet
with the feeling that something must
be done to inspire the north with a
glow of patriotism. When she awoke
in the morning she found the verses
of "The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lie" lying on her table in her own
handwriting and she always main
tanned that she was but the instru-
ment of Providence in penning those
words. 1t was published next day

clares manuring will bring good re-
suits if corn be raised and wheat

corn is removed He has specific in
stances to show this.
In Adams county. Wash. Senator
Scott had so acres in corn and raised
40 bushels per acre with but little
care. He seeded to wheat immediately
afterwards and his wheat crop went
five bushels per acre heavier than
usual.
In Lincoln county Wash. Senator
Bethel had $50 acres in corn and rails.
ed between 40 and 80 bushels per acre.
He seeded to wheat immediately af-
terwards and his wheat crop went
seven bushels per acre heavier than
previously. Thus these men not only
had the advantage of a corn crop bur
also raised heavier wheat crop than
would have been possible otherwise.
Living six miles west of Dufur, Ore

has been raising corn for years. on

after manuring he had a wheat Yield
five bushels per acre heavier than

1t is the advice of Mr.. Smith that
corn be fed to hogs or to cattle. He
is a strong believer in dairying and
urges corn and corn silage as excel.
lent feed for dairy cows He does not
advise farmers to seed their entire
