It Is of Interest to If now that while
Cove has been raising cherries for
years and years the entire country!
never realized the fact until the Alaska-Yukon
exposition was held at Seat
tie and J. W. Ingram of Cove took, the I
first prize for his cherry exhibit The
packing of this exhibition was done by
Miss Ida Sills, deceased, and K goes
without saying that In a great exposi
tion like the one held in. Seattle the
packing had considerable to do with
the competition. Miss Sills was very
proficient in the work and was so rec
ognized throughout fruitgrowing clr
cfc3s. The medal won at that exposi
tion by the Ingram exhibit was on dis
play yesterday at Cove as was the di
ploma, both of which attracted consid
erable attention.' ';. ,

One of the strong characters of East
ern Onegon Is Dunham Wright of
Medical Springs. He was present yes
terday at the. Cherry show and enjoy
ed it all. Mr. Wright is one of those
men who enjoy the good things of life.
Being a pioneer he has watched the
progress of Eastern Oregon as a par
ent would watch the growth and devel
opment of a child. In Bpeaking of the
Grande Ronde valley to a reporter for
the Observer, he said. "I am located
on the edge of Union county, but let
me say to you that this county Is a
wonderful place. When the east is suf
fering with heat our people are getting
along nicely, when the middle states
lose their crops from drouth we always
have enough In the Grande Ronde val
ley. Look at this Cove cherry show.
Isnt it grand? Do you not see the

labors of the
IS
of facilitating the
councilmen.
At its meeting next .Tuesday sight
the committee will also decide finally
on the number or commissioners the
new charter shal ' provide for, their
salaries and the number of depart
ments into which the city government
shall be divided. At a former meeting
of tho committee it was agreed tenta
termined from a first second and third
choice. The nomination of all candi
dates must be made by petition. The
plan of the city attorney was referred
to the committee on finance, accounts
and public utilities.
..'"Parties 'Are Abolished.
One of the principal provisions of
this plan of nominating and electing
city officers is the abolition of politi
cal parties. No candidate for office
can associate his name with that of
any political party."
. In its preliminary report submitted
last night, the committee on public
safety recommended that the police
lively that the commission plan should and flre departments, public safety and
embrace six comlssloners and TinM.Hh .rt..). th. nrr.no.-
ed charter plan, be consolidated under
mayor. A majority of the committer-
men last night clearly favored a com.
mission of only five members, one of
whom should be elected mayor from
among their number.
Large Salaries Favored.
Sentiment among the members of
the committee favors good salaries for
the commissioners on the theory thai
only good and efficient men can be ln
duced to serve the city when properly
compensated. At the same time It was
agreed by the committee that a cam
paign of education must be conducted
to apprise the voters of the provi
sions of the commission charter and
the reasons for remunerating the com
missioners adequately. This will be
done prior to tho submission of the
commlslson charter for the approval
of the voters.
City Attorney Grant submitted the
preliminary draft of charter provisions
providing for the preferential ballot In
the election of all elective city officers.
By this proposed plan successful can-
dlda:es for municipal office will be de
one department and their administra
tion given to one commissioner. Slight
changes In the administration of the
police department were also suggested
by the commltteev which was author
ised to continue Its work of revision.
. Efforts of Mr. Lombard to arrange
for semi-weekly meetings of the com
mittee were turned down. However, It
was decided to meet regularly every
Tuesday night, with the understanding
that the members of the committee
shall apply themselves diligently to the
task before them that the ocmpilatlon
of the charter commission can be com
pleted by November , next, the re
quired 60 dayp before it ts to be sub
mitted to the voters at . the special
election. . ;

A chorus of a number of voices made
the grove ring with a rich vocal selec

Then came one of the extraordinary
features of the day a cherry song by
the Gray children. Applause of a vio
lent nature rent the air as soon as tho
little tots had finished and showers o
' flowers and coin plainly Indicated how
well the people enjoyed the efforts of
the little folk. ,
About noon Mr. Relben deltverd a
short but interesting address which
was followed by a vocal solo by Mrs.
R. J. Kitchen of Union. Then came the
