Daily Observer, 65c per Month, hlew Alfalfa Hay All Kinds of Hay I Grain and Teed A.V. OLIVER Slater Block Pnone Main 57 efferson Arenue Sixty-one years In Oregon. This Is almost a natural lifetime, but such Is the record fit a gentleman who Is now visiting In La Grande. , The gentleman referred to Is the Hon. S. M. Penning ton, father of C. C. Pennington, one of our well known and respected citi zens. 8. M. Pennington is now 84 years old, but hale and hearty. To those unacquainted with his age he appears many years younger. He stands erect, walks with a uprightly vigor and speaks with the strength, clearness and vim of a man of 40, He explained to a couple of boys, whom he was watching clean a bicycle that he also rode a wheel and thought uuuuus " " "r .n-milM nip tor pleasure and belleved'that, should necessity avise, he could wheel off SO miles In a day and not feel any the worse for the trip. His personal ap pearance Is such that no ' one need have reason to doubt his ability to ac complish the feat. Mr. Pennington is one of Oregon's oldest pioneers. He came to this state In 1847, starting from McComb, 111., April 25, 1847. and arriving in Oregon City Septem ber of the same year. Soon after1 reaching Oregon City he went to Al bany, Ore., where he Bettled upon a donation land claim. He still owns this tract of land and resides there the greater portion of the time. For 17 years he resided In Umatilla conn ty and for two terms represented that county In the state senate. In 1885 he returned to his Albany farm, where he has since resided. During his residence of 61 years In Oregon he has seen many changes. He distinctly remembers the time when hunting was good where the Portland city hall now Btanda, and the only means of crossing the Willamette was the log canoe of the Indian or Hudson Bay trapper. He has seen the stage coach supplant the ox team and the Puyman In turn supersede the stage. He has seen the little pioneer settle ment gathered about the Hudson Bay trading post at Oregon City grow and expand, and become one of the grand est states In the Union. He has seen mountains, rivers and valleys made to yield their wealth to the thousands of men and women who have followed the trail made by him and his few score pioneer friends. He haa seen I wilderness subdued, and farms, vll lages and cities take Its place. And, greater and better yet, he has the pleasure of knowing that during all the time that this wonderful transfor matlon has been taking place his hand has not been Idle, and he has been able and Important factor In the recreation of Oregon. May he live many years longer and be able to note that the present generation will re celve the heritage of a ready-made state with fitting respect and deliver It to Its children with as splendid a record of progress and achievement as did the pioneers of whom S. N. Pen I nlngton Is a true type. Cured Hay fc'eve and bummer Cold. A. J. Kusbaum, Batesvllle.

A small fire of mysterious origin in the office of the Pendleton Morning Tribune this morning, was discovered Just In time to prevent the destruction of the plant. The fire started In the pile of papers collected about the fold er after the last boy had gone out and the office was deserted. A. O. Carden and Fred Olcott, coming to work for the day at 7:30, discovered the blaze, which had cleaned up the floor and had started In on the wall. By heroic work they extinguished the flames without the aid of the department. It Is conceded that a few minutes more and the Interior of the plant would have been In flames.
