south lies one of the prettiest sites
that can be Imagined. The campus Is'
now located on one end , of a fine
piece of fertile upland. If originally
It had been put upon the summit of
the site It would have been the most
Imposing of any college in Oregop.
This upland Is Ideal, but now It has
been cut up Into lots and sold (for
homes, and probably could only be
bought by condemnation proceedings
similar to that Instituted at the Ore
gon agricultural college.
However, whatever the action taken.
purchnses are certain to bu made as
land must be had. If the referendum
had not been Invoked much better
bargains could have been secured, as
values have raised considerable dur
ing the last year. .

A WORD OP ADVICE.
Ths Recorder takes this opportunity
to urge upon its readers ths Import
ance of preparing for the coming fairs
by commencing now the work of col
lecting and saving exhlbtta from their
farms and orchards. The annual
meeting of the First Eastern Oregon
District Agricultural society Is to be
held during the month of September,
and now la the time to begin prepara
tions for It If you desire to make a
creditable showing. And In addition
to this meeting the work of securing
Vnlon county's exhibit for the Alaska-
Tukon-Paclflc exposition, which Is to
be held in Seattle next year, will soon
commence and the bent of this year's
specimens will ber needed. It Is im
perative' that this year s exhibits be
saved for the exposition, as it starts
next year before the fields and or
chards will be bearing. In order to
get the best results the specimens
which you expect to exhibit should be
carefully nourlxhcd and protected
wnne growing, and now Is the time to
commence the work. . ' '
ine cnerry and berry crops are
ripening, as Is the grain crop, and
preparations for collecting these
should commence at once.' Immedi
ate action will mean an excellent
howlng at the coming fairs.
Last year the residents of northern
Vnlon county had a winning exhibit
of fruit, grain, etc., at the county ftilr.
despite the fact that ho attempt was

Terminal Switching Charge Ilhgnl
Washington. D. C. July 18. The
Pacific Coast Jobbers and Manufac
turers' association today filed a com
plaint with the Interstate commission
seeking to have the rates exacted by
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fo of
12 50 per car for terminal switching
charges, declared Illegal. The peti
tion auks that the rate be reduced to
one dollar If It Is found that the rail
roads have a right to Impose a switch
ing charge. The complaint recites that
the terminal switching charge exacted
In San Francisco Is a discrimination
against that city In favor of Portland,
Oakland, Sacramento and other coast
cities which do not have to pay this
charge bocsuse they are not rated as
terminal points. The commission will
Investigate. .
P. II. Dickinson, who has a flve
ncre tract out In the May Park dis
trict, brought in to Manager Lavey, of
the Commercial club, some cherries
today that are beauties, and no mis
take. They are of the Blng and Royal
Ann varieties, and although the
branchea do not exceed six or at most,
t, In lnth. there are at
least 50 perfect cherries on each
branch, and they are extra large, too.
Mr. Dickinson expressed himself as
oxtremely well satisfied with his little
home, and says he can save money
and live well at the same time, Dur
Ing the last five years he has sold
more than Iff 00 worth of fruit from
his place. While The" Observer re
porter waa talking with Mr. Dick In
son. C. 8. St II well, who owns a 10
acre place Just across the river , In
Frultdale, stood an Interested listener,
and when hla friend was through
praising the May Park district, said:
"We have better orchards than you
fellows. I sold more than (5000
worth of apples lost year from my
place, and if the panic had not arrived
Just at the wrong time, we would have
realized much more. In addition to
that I obtained fore than 1300 for berries."

Gambling In Pendleton.
Although Pendleton Is supposed to
be a closed town as far as gambling Is
concerned, and no games are conduct
ed except behind locked doors, and
then only Ir a few places where re
spect for the law Is one of the least
conspicuous commodities, yet the clink
of the gold does not fall to atttraet.the
devotees of the green cloth and stories
of big winnings come to the ears of
outsiders frequently.
I Within the past few days three well
known men of the city and county
have been "closeted" In a room where
gambling has never been suppressed,
and where it will, perhaps, never be
suppressed as long as the building
stands. In a poker game, for a, day
and a night
