Though the popularity of the city's free public library has never been on the wane since its establishment, the arrival of iliss Topping, tne new li brarian seems to have leant an added impetus. Despite the fact that Pen dleton people are leaving the city by the score for the mountains and the eoast, the number of persons using the library each day continues remark ably large. The reading room with its splendid list of magazines is prov ing especially attractive to large num bers and for the benefit of these and others who may be interested. Miss Topping has prepared the following notes concerning the August maga zines which are now on the tables. Notes from the Magazines. Among the most beloved and regret ted authors who have died this year Mark Twain stands pre-eminent. Wil liam Dean Howell's account of him In Harpers fills a present need we feel to know all we can of this great "American Cervantes.il The article Is not the conventional obituary kind, but an intimate personal account of the man himself. Scrlbner's still continues Roosevelt's account of his African trip. Also it contains a delightful short story by Kate Douglas Wlggln. When flying machines are almost threatening to hold the same place as the automobile, articles on their con struction are of exceeding interest to any one of a mechanical turn of mind. Such an article is Arthur J. Joerin's on "How to build the famous De moiselle Santos-Dumont's monoplane." The Pacific Monthly contains a per sonal account of a ten years' fight with consumption by Charles E. Ast rup. It gives many practical hints, especially in regard to climate, to those suffering with that disease. In view of Life's repent cartoons and remarks on the subject, it is in tf resting to note two articles on vlvi section, one In The Atlantic Monthly "Medical Experimentation on Ani mals," by Frederick L. Wachenheim and another in The World's Work "An Antivivisection Exhibition," bv Dr. Wood Hutchinson. Those who have enjoyed Jane Ad am's "The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets," will be glad to read her "Charity and Social Justice," In the North American Review. Her lead ing idea in this is that charity should be preventltlve rather than curative, In the same magazine Hugh Lusk, the well known writer on New Zealand politics and economics, tells about wo man suffrage there. He shows that the conditions governing New Zealand are very different from those else where. The Review of Reviews as well as the World's Work have considerable material on Roosevelt. For any reader who has made his own that exquisite little classic "The Country of the Pointed Firs" the post humorous story of "William's Marri age" in the Atlantic, will be a rare treat mingled with deep regret that the charming writer who first told us of Mrs. Todd and her herb garden will teU no more tales of the little Maine town of Dunnett. Roosevelt has already begun his work in the Outlook as the editorial on the recent prize fight In the July 16th number testifies. In connection with this it Is pertinent to read the comment in the Issue of Life of July 14. Another piece worth comment ing on In the July 16th number of the Outlook Is the one by Fairbanks on "The American Missionary Abroad."

IC COMMITTEE TO MEET CHAIRMAN PETERSON SOUNDS A CALL Pecluros Seoifieally That Meeting Will Not Bo An Assembly for Nom inating Candidates for County Offices. Chairman Will M. Peterson has Is sued a call for a meeting of the demo cratic central committee to be held In his office In this city the afternoon of Saturday, July 23.

To the Members of the Democratic Central Committee of Umatilla ' County: Gentlemen: You are hereby notified that a meeting of the Umatilla county dem ocratic central committee will be held in the law offices of Peterson & Wil son, at Pendleton, Saturday, July 23, 1910 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon for the I urpose of electing a chairman and secretary for the next two years, and electing a central committeemen in each precinct where there Is a va cancy.

WILL M. PETERSON, P. B. WATSON, Chairman-Secretary. Olive Crop Is Short. Seville, Spain, July 20. This year's olive crop in Spain will be very short, leading growers saying that the out turn of the growing crop will not be over 2000 hogsheads, which will be a reduction of a little over 90 per cent of the quantity harvested and cured last year. From this It is easily dis cernible that materially higher prices will prevail for the ensuing 12 to 16 months, and as a result curers are averse to booking any considerable quantity at the present time. In fact, some of them refuse positively io quote prices, prefering to hold their goods In order to get full benefit of the advanced prices later on. Funston's Aide Retires. Washington. July 20.

The most destructive of fruit diseases, pear Might, Is at large In the Yakima Valley according to Fred Thompson of the Thompson Fruit company, one of the best posted grult men in this section "Unless vigorous methods are taken at once to combat the pest," he said 'five years from now we will not be shipping a pear. "It has wiped out nearly every dis trict In which it got a start. That it can be successfully fought Is proved by the Sacramento Valley, which, by sacrificing every Infected tree, man aged to rid Itself of the pest. "Every tree Infected this year and not attended to will take down 100 with it next year. The blight has spread over the whole valley. It Is In Prosser, Sunnyslde, Zlllnh, I'arKer, North Yakima, the Kenas, and the Naches. Wenatchee has it, too." That one of the biggest Industries of the fruit country Is threatened, he Is sure. He believes that rigid Inspec tion should be provided for; that far mers should not be trusted to care for the diseased trees 'themselves. With 40.flon acres of fruit In the valley, a tax of 25 cents an acre, he says, would provide a sum sufficient to pay $125 a month a piece for six months to 15 Inspectors who could fight the blight from April to August. The San Joaquin Valley used to ship more pears than the Sacramento, he says, and now It doesn't ship a pear. The blight Is not a matter to be trifled with. RARKJT FRONT- .v.- ...
