("lioer and Harmony Features of Iaitv? Day's Junket People Favor Publicity riaa All Except J. P. Xeal. It was a well satisfied brigade of boosters that returned to the city on the Commercial club special at 7 o'clock last night after a strenuous day with the people of the east end and of Walla Walla. Though some what tired by the hard day's trip and by the entertainment provided by the Garden City folks and others along the line, the best of feeling prevailed among the junketers for all realized that the trip had accomplished some thing for Pendleton and for Umatilla county. Publicity was the watchword of the junket trip and everywhere the party stepped the waiting people' were told of the plan for organizing a county publicity bureau to work for the greater settlement and development of all sections of the county. It may be truthfully said that the proposition was cordially received. Copies of the petition for a vote upon the subject were left in all the towns within the county and the leaders In the differ ent communities agreed to have the petitions circulated. Walla Walla Entertained. The great feature of the trip yes terday was the splendid reception ac corded the delegation by the hospit able people of Walla Walla. When the special arrived in the Garden City at noon it became apparent at once that Walla Walla was waiting with open arms to receive the crowd and to repay Pendleton for the courtesies shown the Garden City people when thy were In Pendleton. At the depot the Walla Walla band played a welcoming air as the train arrived and a string of autos was In readiness to care for the ladies. The parade from the depot to the banquet room where lunch was served was through streets lined with welcoming bannrs and pennants. Following the luncheon and until 8:30 the members of the party were driven about the city In automobiles. Visits were made to the Blalock farm where artesian wells spouted their streams high Into the air, to the pen itentiary and to other points of In terest aDOUt the Cty. When the party left Walla Walla it was with the most cordial feeling for the people of that live and pros perous city. A Trolley Itide. Upon the arrival at Milton at 4 o'clock it was learned that the peo ple of Freewater and Milton had ar ranged a most enjoyable trolley ride for the delegation.

O W work is Guaranteed Dale Rothwell with Wm. Hanscom THE Jeweler urban cars was used for the purpose and a run was made as far north as State Line, the trip being through a splendid portion of that country and a region that shows the beneficial ef fects that have followed the building of the interurban. Tlie Milton Meeting. At Milton the meeting was held In the new opera house and it was at tended by some of the most promi nent men of the two towns, though the attendance was not as large as had been anticipated. Hon. S. D. Peter son, president of the Commercial club of Milton, presided and welcomed the delegation to that city. In behalf of the junketers J. R. Raley spoke brief ly and then Judge S. A. Lowell was introduced for the principal address of the meeting. In an eloquent talk Judge Lowell presented In an appro priate way the broad purposes of the expedition and put particular stress upon the faet that In advocating the establishment of a publicity bureau Pendleton Is not moved by selfish mo tives, but Is out with a genuine at tempt to aid the progress and devel opment of all sections of Umatilla county. The applause which follow ed the conclusion of Judge Lowell's addrbiis testified to the endorsement of his sentiments and likewise to the personal popularity of the speaker with the Milton people and with his own delegation. . One Jarring Note. The only discordant note at the Milton meeting., or of the entire day for that matter, was struck by J. P. Neal, the Freewater attorney and the leader of the move to divide Umatilla county. None of the previous speak ers had referred to the issue of coun ty division and the meeting had been marked by general good will. Mr. Neal, however, spoke In a sarcastic vein and showed a feeling of rancor that was out of harmony with the spirit of the occasion. The Incident, though, was treated lightly by mem bers of the delegation, especially so after local people at Milton had ex pressed regret over the occurrence. Weston anl Athena Loyal. At Weston and Athena ail of the speakers manifested loyalty to Uma tilla county and made It plain that the move for division had no friends in those two little cities. For Athe na this declaration was boldly made by B. B Richards, president of the Commercial club and the cashier of the First National bank. At Weston a big bannrr had been strung across the street, near the public fountain, and it bore the le gend: "Weston Is for Umatilla county and the Eastern Oregon Normal School." The Weston speakers included S. A. Barnes, Mayor Turner and Clark Wood and all voiced loyalty to Uma tilla county as now exists. Colonel Wood made an eloquent ilea for the normal school and was heartily ap plauded. T. C. Taylor and W. L. Thompson led In giving three cheers for the eastern Oregon normal. The Rand Was There. On the trip the local delegation was accompanied by the band and at all the points visited the band led the processions and the music did much to enliven the occasion. At Weston the ladies' band played a welcoming selection and several other numbers (luring the course of the program. It is a very creditable band and was a popular organization yesterday. .1 PERSONAL ' MENTION Jack Bessett of Barnhart, is a Pen dleton business visitor. J. B.

PRESIDENT TAFT IS A COXFTRMED GADABOUT Washington. The village gossips here have delivered- the verdict. Neighbor Taft is a "gadabout." Not a mild "gadabout," who -gads a little now and then, but a real all-wool-and-a-yard-wide "gadabout," who is on the go all the time. And if you don't believe It look at the record. The White House hearthstone has been singularly deserted since the Taft regime began. When he Is not traveling outside of Washington, din ners, parties, balls, banquets, conven tions, the theatre, social and business gatherings of all kinds, drag the presidential presence from the exe cutive roof-tree, and the said pres ence seems not to be averse to being dragged away. On the contrary It seems to enjoy It. Probably two-thirds of the "occas ions" have demanded speeches, im promptu or otherwise. Several mil lion words of public speaking have been turned out by the president In the last year. At least two nights a week, when he Is In Washington, the president attends the theatre. Often he first takes in the play, and after wards hurries away to some other function, a dinner, or dance. Is It strange that the luxuriant mustache that hides or reveals the famous Taft smile is growing gray? Probably no other president ever put the physical effort Into gadding about that Taft does. Certainly he holds the record for continuous per formances. Three engagements in an evening with two speeches to deliver is no uncommon thing for him. Besides all this, President Taft does a real day's work every day. He Is Up at 7 for a half hour's hard exer cise with his physical trainer, who puts him through a strenuous course of "setting up" drills and shadow boxing before the day's business be gins. From 9:30 until 2 he is at the executive offices, grinding out a grist of handshakers, and handling execu tive business and legislative callers. At 2 a short hour for luncheon and he is back on the job until six. From then until 7:30- he usually takes his dally walk, hurrying back to the White House for dinner, and to pre pare for the strenuous evening, with its theatre, dinners and speeches. All this is wearing down the avoir dupois of the executive, but the ones who are getting nervous prostration over it are the Percret Service men. To them the present program means work almost without end. Hundreds of petty details must be attended to every time the president goes to the theatre or takes a walk, and it Is up to the quiet complacent walking arsenals to do the work. Just now they are thinking fondly of the luxu rious Roosevelt days, when hard work consisted of a 15 or 20 mile walk through a rain storm, or a 90 mile horseback trot, and It did not In volve six nights a week of social functioning. KI'KSIA TO Bl'IIJ) AIHCKAIT. National Defense Committee Pre-nts Plans to Duma.- St. Petersburg Russia does not propose to be left in the race for the supremacy of the air. The National Defense committee has presented to the duma proposals which have been acted on favorably which will pro vide for a comprehensive fleet of air warships, the training of a corps of aeromanflc service and for the pro viding of means for defense against hostile air craft.

Not many visitors have come from other reservations as yet, but a fair crowd of local people from the reservation are encamped around the church, and there are about 20 teepees and tents and houses in which the people are living during the meetings. Mr. Thompson will address the Christian Nurture Conference.

I UIW UMATILLA MAN HELD AT GUN'S T Umatilla was the scene of another hofd-up last night, according to In formation received at the sheriffs of fice this morning. A laborer by the name of Casper Welble and with Port land as his home, was held up at the point of a gun by two young unmask ed men. In their hurry they secured but $3. overlooking a quantity of money which he was carrying In an inshh; pocket. Weible has been unable to furnish the officers with any description of the men that is of assistance and It Is doubtful if they will be apprehend ed. It la reported that the price of up per berths In Pullman cars Is to be reduced. Then will more people be willing to accept them? Rome Slight Uncertainty.
