murderers of an old man near Cottage
Orove a few years ago, who, upon
conviction wan given an Indetermin

his parole and was taken to the peni
tentiary yesterday by Sheriff Taylor,

Reeves had an Indeterminate sen
tence of from one to 15 years In the
penltentinry hanging over his head
and when he stole $20 from the man
who had secured his parole. Governor
Chamberlain revoked the same and he
will now be compelled to serve a term
In the penitentiary. The length of
this will depend altogether upon his
prison record.
After stealing the money, Reeves,
who la now about 20, came directly to
Pendleton and was picked up hero liy

THOUSANDS W
I
ORECOII'S CALL
That thousands of persons living In
Pennsylvania aud other states of the
east are talking of moving to Canada,
the northwest, to Oklahoma or some
other newly opened parts of the coun
try and that Oregon should get busy
and make exhibits of her products and
resources at some of the county fairs,
are some of the suggestions offered by
W. J. Collins, who writes the Portland
Journal from Newcastle, Pa.
The people which publicity would
appeal to are Just the kind of citizens
that Oregon needs to make It continue
to grow and become one of the great
est states In the union, Mr. Collins
says.
Mr. Collins suggests that a native
born and educated In Oregon, should
be selected to have charge of the ex
hibit! which he would have Oregon
make at the varloua fair during the
summer and fall.
The county fairs continue from
August until late In the fall, at each
place continuing from four to five
days to a week. Each fair is visited
by thousands of people and by the
exhibits of some of Oregon's wonder
ful fruits and vegetables their atten
tion would be attracted to this part
of the United States.

TOMORROW
Tomorrow Max Zimmerman will be
spreading advertising matter In liberal
quantities for La Grande's first mar
ket day, Saturday, February 29. A
rood program has been arranged and
the merchants are assisting by dona
tions and also Inaugurating special
sales. The plans of this mraket day
are nearly identical with those of ear
ly times, reaching almost the propor
tions of a carnival. Mr. Zimmerman
has been -very successful as will be
seen by the following press notices:
'.Mr. Max Zimmerman, the Midway,
St. Paul, horse auctioneer, whose rep
utation as an auctioneer Is a national
one, was engaged by the merchants of
Dayton to manage the first market
day celebration, . certainly deserves
great credit for the manner In which
the big event was pulled off. The
streets were thronged and all mer
chants enjoyed a good day's business."
-Dayton Chronicle. .
"Merchants and farmers united to
make Saturday an Interesting day.
Streets were filled with people. Walts
burg's first market day was certainly
a .success In point of numbers. The
strets were thronged all day Saturday
with fa: me: a as well as townspeople.
In view of the fact that this was ab
solutely a new undertaking In this
part of the country, the event was a
success. The mercnants report a
good day's business. The business
men will have a meeting within a day
or two to make plans for another day
In the near future." Waltsburg
