PENDLETON, Or., May 10. (Spe
cial.) The attitude of Dr. C.--J. Smith,
candidate for the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor, toward gambling:
hile Mayor of Pendleton in 1898. and
also the attitude of ex-Councilman
Mitchell, now foreman of the Portland
Journal, are revealed by the files of the
Pendleton Republican, which was pub
lished and edited by John P. McManus
In that year
The Republican had supported Dr.
Smith for Mayor, believing that the
wide-open and demoralizing conditions
existing1 here at that time would come
to an end under the Smith tenure of
oftice.
The Councilman Mitchell referred to
in the excerpt from the 1898 files of!
the Tendleton Republican is the Felix
Mitchell who, in the Portland Journal,
rushed to the defense of Dr. Smith and
declared that his administration was :
one of purity and law and order.
The City Marshal quoted late in Dr.
tSniiths term as ready to close down
gambling1 if so ordered is the J. M.
lleathman. who, in an interview in
the Portland Journal, asserted that
gambling had been cleaned out by Dr.
fcmith white Mayor of Pendleton.
Kile Arc Thrown Open.
These files have been thrown open
for the inspection oC anyone at the
office of the Kvening Tribune here.
Dr. Smith took office in January,
1S98, with the Republican his warm
est friend. In an editorial printed in
the Republican on August 20, 1898,
about eiht months later, the follow
ing appears:
The Republican has determined to
7ut a stop to the operation of percent
age gambling games in this city. Upon
failure in its ability to provoke a pub
lic sentiment of hostility of sufficient
power to crush the evil, steps will be
taken to have every dealer of faro
games in the city arrested and this
will be continued from time to time
until an end shall bo brought to the
baneful influence of open gambling
"No law-abiding, self-respecting citi
zen of Pendleton will take issue with
the Republican in its determination to
put a stop to the demoralizing in
lluences of open gambling in this city
without subjecting himself to the sus
picion of being the open friend of gam
biers and prostitutes and the enemy of
law, order and decency.
"The four faro games now in opera
tion on Main street and conducted In
the saloons owned by Reed, Eagan and
Miller, George Darveaux, K. X, Schempp
and Reese Heycock, are payfng to the
city monthly the sum of $48, which
means $12 per month for each game,
and yet Mr. Mitchell, one of the most
intelligent members of the City Coun
cil, informs the Republican that he does
not, of his own knowledge, know that
any fines are being collected from the
gamblers.
"The Mayor says he 'thinks there is
gambling going on but that he is op
posed to it in every form, that he real
izes the demoralizing influence it has
on the young men of the city but that
he is powerless to do anything while
the City Council is willing to have
open gambling.
Marshal Ready to Ao,t.
"The Marshal says and we believe
Mm: It the Mayor and City Council
xv ill instruct mo to close down gam-
pling, 1 shall do so d d quick.
This editorial was followed by oth
ers, written by Mr. McManus in a much
stronger vein and his aggressiveness
for a cleaner town and efforts to have
iayor Smith use his public office to
this end, led to much bitterness against
Jvlr. McManus on the part of the gam

Trs. G. M. Rice, president of the Wom
an a organization in Pendleton that is
rupporting: Dr. Smith for Governor,
telegram denying1 the truth of the pub
lished report that the club had decided
to investigate Dr. Smith's record and
that there was dissension among the
members.
This telegram was referred back to
The Oregonian's correspondent at Pen
dleton, who again interviewed the club
member previously quoted. A copy of
the printed Interview was shown to her
and she reiterated the truth of all the
statements therein contained.
t Mrs. Rice in her telegram to The
Oregonian, says:

PENDLETON, Or., May 10. (Special.)
-Published adverse reports on the
lands of the Umatilla project by Byron
G. .Hunter and H. O. Jaynes, of the
United States Agricultural Department,
and Superintendent Allen, of the proj
ect experimental farm, have aroused
the project settlers to the highest
pitch of indignation. They are circulat
ing a strongly-worded demand for the
removal of Allen.
According to the settlers the reports
were inspired by prejudices, political
motives and personal grievances. They
declare the project is being made a- po
litical football because of a long-standing
quarrel between the Department of
Agriculture at Washington and the
Reclamation Service.
Hunter is characterized as a "con
firmed grouch, narrow-minded, poorly
equipped for his position and obsessed
with sordid ambition.' He is said to
have long been at outs with the set
tlers because they refused to follow
his advice, which turned out to be im
practicable. He is also charged with
being a resident of Washington and
seeking to draw reclamation funds to
that state.
Allen is said to be angry because
several good farmers with small capi
tal have demonstrated the possibilities
of the project better than he has been
able to do with $6000 to spend annually.
VV hen three automobile loads of angry
citizens called on Allen at the expen
mental farm he admitted making parts
of the report as published, but said
parts favorable to the project had been
omitted and other parts had been
changed.
Letters of condemnation have been
sent to Secretary Lane. Portions of
report made by Hunter in 1910 con
tradictory to those made now are
quoted, and it is pointed out that while
the Reclamation Service is now con
demned by Hunter for not procuring
a detailed soil survey, that he was em
ployed himself four years ago to make
a soil survey.
Hunter s contention that speculators
have hindered the development of the
project is held to be foreign to his
claim that there is no virtue in the
soils of the project.
Vegetable Crops Expected to Return !
Record Yield and Strawberries
Are Moving.
SPOKANE, Wash., May 10. (Spe
cial.) More apples will be produced in
the Spokane Valley and Eastern Wash
ington this year than ever before. Not
withstanding the three cold snaps that
have injured less hardy fruits, the
apples are practically uninjured and
are showing an abundance of embryo
fruit.
The record estimate la based on the
fact that in the Spokane Valley and
other sections the trees are older,
many coming into bearing last year,
and will do better this season- The
"weather in general, however, has been
ideal for aPDles. the trees will have
hardv and perfect fruit. Orchards or
the Spokane country are so young that
they improve with each season.
Early prospects of damage to tne
sweet cherry crop are borne out Dy
ater developments. There will be
about half a normal crop, which is a
igher estimate than was given out a
week ago. The sweet cherries got
their worst setback in February, cold
nitrhts coming at a time the sap was
flowins: vierorously. A second set
back occurred last month.
Earlv neaches were cut down at the
ame time and in this region lew eariy
peaches will mature.
Hardier trees, such as sour cnerries
and all kinds of apples have been vir
tually uninjured and the vegetable
croos also will break a record for
quantity and quality.
The strawberry crop 18 one oi tne
best ever showing and the berries are
already on the move.

J. W. Perkins, chairman of the
Roseburg Railroad Committee. re
ceived assurances today that the Coos
Bay cities would back up the Roseburg
project to construct a railroad from
Roseburg to tidewater on Coos Bay.
This aid from Coos County will be
substantial, for they promise, if Rose
burg will raise $300,000, that the three
Coos County towns will raise $400,000.
This will make a grand total of $700,
000, and the remainder of the money
needed will be sought by sale of bonds

A transcontinental road could con
nect with the proposed Roseburg-Coos
Bay line by building from Eastern Ore

This pass, SO miles from here, is by
far the lowest in the Cascades, and
open to the North Itnpqua River,

WHEN the new Encyclopaedia Britannica
was completed, the publishers realized that
it was better than any work of reference
ever published, and that by the use of India paper, ,
since described as an "inspiration of genius," it
would be more often read and consulted and there
fore more useful and satisfactory than any pre
vious edition or any other book of reference what
soever. Here was the "ideal" encyclopaedia.
This new Summary of all human
knowledge had been written and
edited and put in type as one complete
book, and not, as in the past, volume
by volume during the course of years.
To do this cost a great deal of money.
$1,500,000 had been paid out during
eight years for editorial expenses, il
lustrations, maps, typesetting, proof
reading, plate making, and the com
pilation of the index volume (which
alone cost $75,000). Upon the maps
$95,000 was spent; upon colored
plates, $70,000; upon the text illustra
tions, $75,000; the entire contents,
41,000 articles containing some 44,
000,000 words, had to be set up and
electrotyped twice once in England
and again in this country in order to
obtain American copyright.
The mere making of the book before a volume
was printed and before the first order was re
ceived, called for an expenditure unheard of in the
publishing trade, but it gave the public a much
better book.

Only by a low price would a large and rapid sale
be assured. A small sale of the work would neces
sitate a much higher price, because manufacturing
costs and other expenses would then be higher,
and it would be at least ten years before the orig
inal investment would be paid back.
Unquestionably the remarkable success of the
present venture 60,000 sets having now been
quickly purchased has been due to the very low
price about 4U per cent less per
volume than was asked for the old
9th edition.
The present prices and terms will
be withdrawn May 28th. The present
sale will accomplish all that the pub
lishers feel they will be justified in
doing in order to place the work in
the hands of bookbuyers at excep
tionally low prices. Line for line,
page for page, volume for volume, the
new Encyclopaedia Britannica is a
cheaper book, gives more value and
more service, is more useful in emer
gency a better purchase in fact
than any other single work, or collec
tion of 500 separate books.
It is now better known, more high
lv appreciated and more constantly
used than any other book to which
the twentieth century has given birth. It has, in
fact, been popularized, so that a continuous though
slower sale under regular book-buying conditions
will be relatively more profitable and less trouble
some from every point of view.
And after this final subscription sale at $5 per
month those who want the Encyclopaedia Britan
nica must buy it and pay for it at prices more in
accordance with ordinary prices in the book trade.
The New
