FARMERS' DAY AT IMOX.
At the experimental farm near Un
ion, a day has been set to entertain
all farmers who will gather. There
will be demonstrations and explana
tions of everything that Robert Withy
combe, the manager, has been able to
obtain relative to soli culture and the
handling of stock. How different
from a few years back when each far
mer was compelled to work out his
wn experiment and nrof It nnlv hv
what himself and his neighbors learn
ed through constant effort. This does
not mean that the farmer of today is
not continually .finding out matters of
Interest that the experiment station
falls to gather, for every man in his
own business counts that day loBt
which does not devVlop . something
new. But the state has a farm in
operation all the year round. That
farm is not run for the purpose of
making money, it Is conducted along
purely experimental lines with a view
iy finding out conditions of benefit
to the farmers as a whole. 1 Consider
able time Is spent on some one thing,
and frequently with but little or no
result, yet it must be tried out in
order to know whether or not It has

ioseph,
Union county Is very fortunate in-
! deed, to have thi3 experimental sta
tion, for it has saved many farmers
the trouble of trying out experiments
that would have brought no result,
and H has on the other hand, given
them the benefit of knowledge on
crops and stock that they could follow
without fear, thus eliminating the
chance that otherwise would neces
sarlly have been taken.

farmer, and others also, attend the
meeting at the state farm. It will be
a day of value to all.
THAT DEMOCRATIC ASSEMBLY
All the talk against the republican
assembly, when such talk is engaged
in by democrats, ceases to have weight
since the democratic assembly was
held in the Imperial hotel at Port-
! land. Prominent members of that par
ty-met for the purpose of outlining a
plan of campaign this fall Just as they
had a right to do. They organized,
resolved and whereased, just as they
had a right to do. And they patted
each other on the back, and shook
hands, spoke of the success they ex
pected this fall, just as' they had a
rlaht to do, - - f ' "
i. But they have no right now to go
before the people of the Btate denoun
cing an assembly when they were par
ties to and parts of an assembly of
their own
Consistency never had a . better
chance to display Itself than at 'the
present time In democratic ranks.
The county clerk will remove his
books from the rear of the United
States National bank this evening.
You have a chance to register if you
will be on hand at 7 o'clock. Do not
overlook this.

The blue rock shoot at Elgin Sep
tember 12th, will be one of , those
good social events that, men like to at
tend. And, besides' the science of
shooting blue rocks is not a small
matter by any means. To encourage
this sport In Union and Wallowa
counties, the Observer has offered a
solid gold medal to be put up as a spe
cial event at Elgin, the winner to de
fend it from time to time, as the gun
club may see fit to meet The medal
Is one of the best that can be pur
chased and will be properly engraved
for the occasion.
Please do not lose sight . of the
proposition to Irrigate this valley. It

Cuban Will Marry American Belle
Vienna Coming
New York, Aug. 5. That American
girls are the. most ; beautiful and
charming in the world, surpassing
even the famed dark-eyed and raven-
tressed belles of Spanish America, is
the opinion of $ir Thomas Estrada
Pulmn, Cuban Raachere and son of the
late president of the Cuban republic
Nor is this mere Interview flubdub, as
affected , by visiting notables fishing
for social invitations, but the expres
slon of u conviction which will have
a romantic culmination next week
when the Cuban takes as his bride,
Miss Helen Douglas Browne, a, daugh
ter of Mr. Douglas Lester, Burman-'
Browne, of West One Hundred and
Seventh street, city.
Strangely enough, Miss Browne, al
though distinctly American, was born
in a Spanish-American country, Mex
ico, while Sr. Falma, distinctly a Lat
in, was born in the United States at
Central Valley, N. Y. The elder Pal
ma was a school teacher in that town
before he returned to Cuba to resume
the revolutlng which ended in the
freedom of lila country and the selec
tion of himself as president.

We read a lot about the "student" of
European countries, - the press dis
patches Indicating that their chief ac
tivity is in rioting, demonstrating and
rasing the lower regions generally.
Now we shall have an opportunity to
see with our own eyes this strange
species, and . judgo for ourselves
whether tbey are human. A hundred
genuine Btudents from the University
of Vienna, In black velvet Jackets,
white breeches, gay caps on their
heads and long black boots on their
tootsies, and armed with rapiers, are
on their way to America and will ar
rive nt this port a week from tomor
row. Accompanying the cntups and
sad dogB are a hundred alumni, pre
sumably to keep them straight, and
also several proud papas and mnmmns.
All the students are said to be there
with the voice, and they will gtae aev.
eral musical concerts while on this

Our colored brethern of the National
Negro Business League will gather In
New York next week to hold their
eleventh annual meeting and talk over
trade prospects for the coming year.
That many negroes, especially in the
South, where they are supposed to be
downtrodden, have made good In a
business way and accumulated much
filthy lucre, will be amply proven to
this gathering. Dr. Booker Wash
ington and many other colored men
of prominence will attend, and Col.
Theodore Roosevelt has promised to
deliver an address.

Sho Joind Card Club In Order to
Forgot Hor Work.
An Atchison woman who found the
monotony of dishwashing, cooking and
laundry work proving too much for
sanity was urged to Join a card club.
"It will take your mind off your
work," she was told, and so she joined.
In order to attend she bad to get up
that morning an bour earlier to get
ber work done; a neighbor girl was
hired to stay with the baby, and when,
flustered, nervous and tired, cbe left
the house fifteen minutes late she was
followed by the screams of ber three
children because they couldn't be
taken along. But she had ber mind
taken off ber work at the card party.
Of that there is no doubt, for when
she made a mlsplay ber partner, a
perfect Jady. walked right over ber.
then picked her up and shook ber, and
then chewed on ber for fifteen min
utes. She became so frightened that
the little wit she bod under ber bair
fled, and she made another mlsplay
with another partner, nml this woman,
also n perfect lady, talked to her in
way the woman rhuuld biive been
ashamed to talk to n ibt. It was more
than kw could endure, r.nd. weeping
like a Fprinklliitf cart. 6heV"t up and
went home.'
"It did even more thau it promised."
she told her buslmcd. "Nothing has
ever happened to me in all-cuy life that
so effectively took ray. mind off my
work. Why. there were times when I
even forgot 1 hud you and ail the chil
dren." Atcblsou Globe. : '( , "

A block front on 'Broadway, In the
upper Forties, will be transferred
Monday to a company of out of town
capitalists and on the site will be
erected what the promoters ambitious
ly declare, will be the largest restaur
ant in the whole world. In addition
to the eating house, with a main
dining room capable of seating 6,000
people, and several smaller rooms,
the building will contain two theatreB,
a skating rink, several stores and an
automobile showroom, and upper
floors devoted to offices. The an
nouncement of these plans has caused
even blase Broadway to sit up and
take notice.
Theatrical field day at the 'Polo
grounds, an annual event of much in
terest to the actors and actorlnes, will
be pulled off next Friday.
When Mr. J. Eads How, the million
aire hobo, visited New York recently,
he appointed a committee on protec
tion for the Brotherhood of the Un
employed. The members of the com
mittee, whose duty it is to prevent
the "Illegal arrest" of comrades and
their railroading to the island of
"vags", are now desirous ofresigning.
As one of them put it. "How t'ell are
you goin' to argue with a cop?" Mr.
How himself is uncertain as to tlu
answer to this problem, as ho was
recently arrested In Philadelphia, that
wicked city where nobody cares; jiiii!
because he attempted to make a little
speech on the streets.
The several hundred natives of
Montenegro who are now residents of
New York, are preparing for a grout
celebration todorrow, when their little
fatherland will be elevated to a king
dom and their prince will assume the
tank ot King. , ,
New Yorkers, who shudder at the
bloodthirsty deeds of.the "Apaches" of
Paris, might well do their shuddering
over hoodlums nearer nt home. It Is
estimated that there are over a hun
dred gangs of "toughs" in the metrop
olis, and many of these contain ruf
fians quite as ferocious as any French
tough, although their dees and crimes
may lack the picturesque touch of
the Latin "Apache." While some of
the gangs are composed of compara
tively harmless young toughs, whose
ideas of a good time are to raise dis
turbances In street cars and other
public places, the majority are dis
tinctly criminal In their personnel and
practices. Students of the social evil
also declare that the gangs are active
forces In the white slave trade.
Laura Jean Llbbey, the gifted
Brooklyn authoress, who wrote, '"part

Once. But Strangers Now," and other
classics, has made a decided hit In
