Gates, Gates, burled In 'Paris last Saturday, stands head and front above the rest of lovesick swains even Lafferty. He had his second wife all "copped out" Jong; before he got his divorce from his first wife, and to accomplish his sinister 'end, he had the engagement already existing between' his secret fiancee and her lover cut off, and hla own divorce effected, all at the earn.? time. ; Ostensibly talking bonds and v finance, the young plunger, who seems to be a chip of the old block, though his dead father did his plunking It -the mire of money, he would dash up to Minneapolis occasionally and make love to his sweetheart. All this time he was still a married man. Now, bis father burled, his divorce secured, the Carter-Hopwood engagement ,brokent Gates is a free lance and care free to marry the pretty school girl he met at a summer party. Gates" singular performance stands out as a precedent ."of downright nerve that can only be emulated by the history of his father; always remembering that the reck lessness his father showed ran toward the almighty dollar while the younger . scion of the illustrious house tilts his . daring pranks to matrimony. 1 Maybe t If: the younger Gates would "marry some farmer girl as did h!a father be- lore um uo wuuiu nave iss irouom T . i . and certainly make less farcical mat- fore hint he would have less trouble rimonlal laws and social prestige. , ' The ' whole affair 1. nauseating to respectable people and cannot helP ht .,, . ..

Cas.Ver 4UMMIIMimtHMIItm s iss with more expedition than many yetJ the fact remains that what really makes a fair is the whole-hearted co operation of the district a fair is to represent. Unless the fanners com mence early to lay plans for dropping ranch duties, fair week and coming ko the fair with their families and pump kins, the fair can never be what wa3 intended for it. " The live, active hustlers behind the details of arrangements will look af ter their affairs with minute atten tion but it is primarily the producer of stock and grains and fruit and veg etables that niakeg or unmakes p county fair. With these elements all working together, as reports from outlying district fully indicate, the coming Union county fair can have but one outcome a great big success that the community warrants. LETTER WRITING AS A FOPULA TION' GETTER. The time will soon come when settlers or prospective settlers or even Just plain seekers after Western data, can come to the coast at reduced rates. Commercial clubs may tease, and real estate men beckon to the immigrants with more or less success to them- th"' """innlt. hilt the personal letter, written from friend to friend, brings the results. If each La Grande and Union county house hold interested itself In bringing one family here from the east during the next 30 days, see what a "crop" of honnseekers the valley would 'get If oply one-fifth of the families landed their friends. . There can be no greater power of attraction to the northwest, than that of warm friendship beckon ing and though it Is perhaps too lato now to accomplish much this fall, sys tematic letter writing will get the re sults If results are to be had. DANGER OF TUBERCULOSIS 1NFEC FEIT10N .THROUGH BUTTER. The possibility of the, transmission of tuberculosis' by milk is now well known, The equal danger of tubercu losis being carried by. butter Is only beginning to bs realized. Vet cream contains tubercle bacilli in even larg er Quantities than milk. It is difficult to state the percentage of contamina tion, but it probably averages about 12 per cent. The germs of tubercu losis can live in the butter, In spit of the salt which it contains, and the cold temperature in which, It is stored, for- a period of about three months; Ire fact, in seme cases the germs have been- found to increase even in butter , . . . ... contafa ng from 2 to 3 per cent of salt . .

In Denmark, for in stance, pasteurized, butter is the sta ple. It Is also made and sold in many European countries". ,A pasteurized butter will be put on the market of new York . in the near future, at a cost of 5 cents per pound more than raw butter. This Increase is permis sible under the circumstances, but it will probably not be necessary when the demand for such butter has been established. .'.' MECHANICAL PROGjRESS IN 85 ' TEAL ' Five different types of prime mov ers which develop approximately the same horsepower under their normal conditions of operating shown in their correct relative sizes in an illustration in the September Popular Mechanics Magazine, strikingly attest the won derful progress In mechanical engi neering made during 35 years of evo lution and discovery. The five types Include the steam turbine, Francis wa ter turbine, electric induction motor, modern Corliss engine and the Cen tennial Corliss engine or it. ' '' ".; This , interesting comparison was suggested by the passln'g away of the famous old Centennial Corliss engine from the car shops at West Pullman, Chicago, 111., where, after being in continuous service for nearly 30 years, it has . just ' been Superseded by a modern electrical equipment. The Centennial engme was built at Providence, R. I., for exhibition at the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876.- At that time it was considered the last word in engineering design.
