EVENTS OF THE WEEK Si'dAii Hhkt Iniu'htiiy. Aa llie sugar beet is the subject of some alteutioii in I liickamas eounly, llie lacls elicited by the Union Rnmhlicnu in a conversation with Italph riattof tlrniul Island, Neb, where there is located one of the Unrest beet-sugar factories in the Culled States, are of present Interest. Mr. I'latt stated that Grand Island guva a subsidy to the factory of 1150.000 in cash and l).. 000 in laud, and the donors are highly pleased with the outcome of their in vestment, A factory that will use 200 tons nl heels dally sinii as It la contem plated to erect at Union, would coil l.'iOO.OOO. and a bonus of 87,oOO in land at fi'S an acre would bo no object unless there were big profits in audit. The locality that gets a beet-sugar factory can well afford to make almost any snie sidy becance it increases value of farm land. At Grand Island the increase wsa three or four fold. The farmers around Grand Island would starve to death without beets. The hot winds which have destroyed this season's com crop in that section left the beets green and healthy. The beet will stand a great deal of drouth. The amount a Nebraska fanner plants in sugar beets ranges from three or four acres upward, and beets are shipped in on the railroad over 100 miles. In one county, 73 miles from Grand Island, the factory contracts th la year for 3300 acres of beets . The far mer? are paid cash after delivery of the beets. The Grand Island factory uses 1,000,000 gallons of water daily and an enormous quantity of fuel, and hauls its limestone 200 miles. A Visit to Psndi.kton. On the trip which Sheriff Maddock and Kecorder Kamsbv made to Umatilla county in quest of one of the escaped prisoners, tliey mude use of the opportunity to nick up a lew salient (acts In regard to the Inland Empire. In this pursuit they were much aided by a reporter of the Kan Urryontan and hlieriu llnuser. llie alter gentleman took them in a buggy to the aOOO-acre wheat larm ot Uuv. Fierce, which is partly on the reserva tion, w here 6 men and 20 horses were at work with a combined header and thresher that harvests 38 acres of wheat daily. The entire face of the country, as far as the eye could reach, was one vast grainfield, and so great is the yield that the railroads can't haul it away by Christmas. Wheat sells at 20 to 30 cents a bushel and the groweissay there is nothing in it, yet as one man with six horses can till (HO acres, producing .000 bushels at 20 bushels per acre, wheat can be grown here at a remarka bly small cost. Pendleton has more brick buildings than Oregon City. The wool scouring mill employs 50 hands. At the courthouse it was learned tin t 1(83,000 delinquent taxes are unpaii', nd that 8000 chattel mortgages nave been recorded in about a vear'a time on which the fees aggregate $5200. Sheriff Maddock says that Dr. Beatty, the den tist, is doing well, and is unstinting in his admiration of the kindness and hos pitality oi the people of Pendleton. An Apple Row. Last week, P. 8. Moore, who is old and poor, came be fore Justice Dixon with unmistakable vidences on his head of having re ceived a eevere punishment, to lay a complaint of assault and battery against Wm. Evans, lie said he could not give bonds for costs but that did not alter the fact that he had been whipped. Evans liiivinir been brought in from bis home on Milk Creek, it was divulged that the row had occurred over 8 or 10 boxes ot apples that Moore had brought to Evans bruised in sacks,, while uvans, on ine other band, wanted the apples in boxes. r.vans ciaimeu mat. tie was drunk in is bIi ngle mill on three launches ot shingles. They had oalled each other liar when Moore drew his mnve. Evans backed up agaiust a staircase near and hurried ud stab , falling as he did so, and seized a stick lyings at top of the staircase: with this he hitMoore in self-defense. Why Muore Vefruined from cutting him, as he doubtless could, bile JSvans fell and ran up ewn, me latter didn't say. Moore said that as wa ked out of the no I. oeaceaoly, knife in hand, Evans came up behind and knocked him down. O.ie of Evans' hands testilled that Evans backed Moore out ot the mill ami that the latter gestb platen with both hands as he walk) a backward. The jury declared the d fendapt not guilty. Easy Lessons i. Poke It Recently a est eider played a game of stud poker a river 01 at wnn a green-loiimiig ick up acquaint nice from Portlind, Oir friend and brother lost $25 in a twinkling. " Ymi, you play well, voting man," he said excitedly. "Where, where, where did you learn it ?'' "Oh, learned jt from n book?" "From, iroiii a hook?" "Ye-s, J have a book at home that tells me ho to win." "The devil) What'll you take for it?" "Twenty-flye dollars," "Twenty five dollars, twenty five dol lars! That's too much, too much, Give you twenty." "No." "All right, all right. I'll buy it. Beat you next time." The west-sider paid f 10 down for the easy guide to success in poker, and ac cepted the order on the young man's wife for acertain red-covered book, to be delivered when the f 15 were paid, with l he injunction that he should "not look at it or show it until he got home or it would Iji hoo-dooo. " IJext dgy he hurried down town and secured the precious volume, but, "cuss the luck," when he bad returned home and put on his specs and began to look f r the description of a "full house," "roy 1 and straight flush" and "four of a kind," he found that lie had bought a volume of temperance lectures that wouldn't buy even a pack of cards. More Fii.tii tims Wool "The scouring mill at Pendleton is one of the very best things for the sheepmen of Eastern Oregon," said a gentleman la ( week who has for years, been intimately connected w'th the wool industry. "Noir tbey ran spe hov d'rty anil greasy their fleeces, are. For years they have bred sheep for weight of fleece and not for quality. The more wrinkles a Merino buck had In his oily neck In which to acenmulato dirt, the more de sirable was he In the flock aa a sire. This breeding for grease and dirt has produced the result that from 66 to 80 per cent, of Eastern Oregon wool is filth. It is this vile compound that the Oregon shepherd has been selling in the East ern market as wool, Tjie Apstralians have followed a rpore honest and sensi ble method. They have bred for wool, not dirt, and their product is superior to that of Eastern Oregon. They aU ways wash their sheep before shearing, which our sheepmen might Imitate with profit." No wonder, therefore, that there are flocks in Eastern Oregon which have not been shorn became it wouldn't pay. Woodmen's Picnic. There was a slight hitch in the Woodmen's picnic on Tuesday evening. The band that came on qne of the excqrsiqn boafa from port- land refuseq; tq play at the ilapce ip flroderick's park for less than $0, which the managers of the evening's en tertainment would pot pay. After playing a tune or two the band left the park. It is understood that the picnic will be repeated on Tuesday of next week without extra charge to those who bonuht tickets to thU week's picnio. There was a large crowd present from Portland. A Stc Esri'L Picnic. There were i about 110 aeople present at th rnrrinaville nionic on Saturday.

Mongolian Mission School. A Chi nese washman expressed last week the longing to the writer that a Sunday school be establishel here. Whether he meant that (he couple of down China men here would like to form the ac quaintance of the pretty young ladies that would presumably become their teachers, the lynx-eyed coolie didn't sav. In case the school is started, it should be under the exclusive control of gentle men and wrinkled old ladies, otherwise an "Anti-Chinese Sunday School So ciety" will be in order also here to regu late both teachers and heathen.

The Special baaf ro of the Tamers of Llou and Tigers. Now and then, for no reason that any one can find, a lion or a tiger that has been doing his duty regularly and well grows suddenly rebellious. He will no longer balance on the big ball, no lon ger stand nnprotestingly on the seesaw board, no longer ride the horse or jump the hurdles. He comes ont instead with plain, pointed, leonine "no" for the whole programme and proceeds to got square with the game by tearing the life out of some trainer or groom. Ap parently his pride and hate and revenge are all stirred np together against all surrounding conditions, and the people to whom he has been most obedient ore the very ones he now desires most to kill. When tamers meet a violent death, it is often under one of these unforeseen and inexplicable outbursts of madness. But there is another and perhaps snbtler source of danger to tamers. Everything goes well for two or three i yeats, and the tamer, proud of his 8U0' ceo ami swelling Dan it account, neoomea overconfident. One day he gets a nip t'om a beast or a scratch from a tiger's elaw. This will happen inevitably, un less the greatest watchfulness is em ployed, and without any vicious inten tion on the port of the wild keast But the wound lingers on hand or arm, for wounds from a wild beast's olaws or fangs, however trifling, are long in healing and very painful. The member swells to double its normal size. The wound tears open again and aguiu, and months pass before the man is healed. The moral effect of such an experience is bod. Perhaps another bite or scratch is inourred before the old one is quite well, and after a numbor of such mis haps the tamer, though he will not ad mit it, perhaps even to himself, is apt to become afraid of his animals. Then he has recourse to stimulants to "steady his nerves" before going into the riug. But by thiB treatment his nerves are not steadied; rather they are the more shaken. And tbe more he drinks the more unfit he is to face the danger and the likelior to take some rockloss Btep which will result in his serious injury or death, for it is undoubtedly a foot that tamers are not infrequently maimed for life, and even killed. Such a case was that of the tamer Heigenreich, who was torn to pieces some years ago while giving on exhibition in Russia. A large lion sprang upon him and literally tore his life out before the eyes of the spec tators. Nothing could be done to save the man. Nothing can ever be done lu such a cose. Perhaps the best safeguard against these dreadful accidents a safeguard better than hot irons or revolver is a ready line of hose, with a strong pressure of wator, which sau be turned on at a moment's notice. It has been found that a lion struck by a powerful stream of water will drop his bleeding victim when prodding with iron hooks or simi lar ineasnres will only make him hold on the tighter. Thus it is absolutely fatal to the tamer to full into any fear, As soon as he gets the idea that ho ' going to be killed ho hd better give up the work at pnoe, or the cbunees are that be will he killed.
