During the excitement occasioned by the temi>orary withdrawal of the Echo irrigation reservation and the opening to settlement of the two townships of Wallowa county timber land, the business transacted by the l_a Grande land office in April was the heaviest on record for any single month in the past five years. The entries of timber and stone land have not been confined to any particular locality, but have been made in every part of the land dis trict. The coal entries are confined to the Butter creek district, while the homestead entries are confined al most exclusively to the Echo district The rush for homesteads has not been so great as has been reported from Echo, the record for that entire district for the month averaging but five and one-third homestead entries per day.

Pendleton Parties Saw the Portland Aerolite—It Was Headed Westward and Going Fast. A very interesting column account of the sudden appearance of a huge meteor at Portland a few evenings since, and of the bursting of the same a few moments after being seen, was printed in the Portland papers, Since that time portions of the meteor have been found, proving it to have beer a true aerolite. The meteor was first seen at Portland directly ovei the city ar.d traveling westward, This was a few minutes before 8 o’clock in the evening, This meteor was seen distinctly at Pendleton for a second or two by G -N. Miller, tne sewer engineer, from a window oi the Hotel St. George. It was, frort this point of view, traveling westward with a strong deflection toward the grouud. Mr. Miler immediately call ed the attention of a traveling mar to what he saw. which he described as being about the size of the full moon, but by that time it had disap peareil. It went out of sight almosi immediately. below the horizor formed by the Hendricks building op posite the Hotel St. George.

WEATHERRED TELLS OF HER SPLENDID PLANS. Would Encourage Oregon Farmers and Their Families tc Collect Ex hibits of Fruits, Grains and Grasses for Agricultural Building at the Fair. Many interesting features of ex position work in connection with the Lewis and Clark Centennial was given .o a press representative this morn- ng by Edyth Tozier Weatherred, Aho spent yesterday with Mrs. I^ee Moorhouse. “The women have much to do and from the enthusiastic man ner with which they are taking hold ertainly Insures grand result^," said Mrs. Weatherred. "I find the women hroughout Eastern Oregon ready to ?rasp every detail and all realize the lecessity of system to earnest ac tion.” One plan which is being arranged by Mrs. Weatherred is to solicit the •o-operation of the farmers' wives xnd others in the preparation of bot- led fruits and berries ready for table i«e. thus making the most extensive *xhibit of this nature ever presented r the world. Oregon is better adapted tor this iisplay than any state in the union ind Mrs Weatherred declares her ntention of carrying out this idea to he satisfaction of the fair directors ind the credit of the state. "Another practical plan. ' said she. is to have the farmer boys begin this unimer to select sheaves of grain and lasses prepare them and put away ind by 1905 there will be several housand of the very best and most eautiful sheaves of grains with vhieh to decorate the agricultural tall. "Each county will display to the ery best advantage and this done by he farmer boy« of Oregon, will be ot ouly interesting to those gather ng the samples, but will present n lorious lesson of our agricultural esottrees. arranged in unique de- igns "Then. too. the school children will ■e asked to gather, press and mount he Oregon wild flowers, giving botan- eal name and remarks on elevation d different growths. "Another plan,” stated Mrs. Weath ■rred. "is to ask the school children o write compositions on the re ources of their particular part of he state. We aim to have them nd of them to give to the visiting ea< hers.” Mrs. Weatherred related experi- nces at Omaha. Buffalo and Charles on. of how they had to have guards o protect the exhibits to keep people rom taking samples of grains, which isitors wished to carry away as Ore- on souvenirs. The long straws of vheat. oats, barley and others being >f great surprise and she remarked hat the farmer boys could do an un imited amount of advertising by upplying the agricultural hall with nough samples that everyone wishing o have a sample would be abundantly supplied. Mrs. Weatherred'« past exposition xperience has given her a vast num •er of practical ideas to be applied o various department work. Different ortions of the state are calling for ter. During the next two weeks she rill visit several Grange lodges vhere she has been invited to address them. Mrs Weatherred stated today that she presumed that if she were a mar he would be receiving at least $200 t month to impart her exposition tnowledge. but as there has been no .rrangements made to meet these -xpenses she is at present doing it rom a matter of patriotism. "The ime is too short and too much to be lone." said Mrs. Weatherred. “for iny one who does know what to do o sit by and wait until some one else inds out what they wish to do." Hotel Pendleton will have 35 rooms ready for occupancy this evening and hope to have as many as 40 or 45 by tomorrow evening. The manage ment have a large force of men at work and everything is being rushed ahead as fast as possible. When the house is once more in complete running order It will be one of the best equipped hotels on the Pacific Coast. All of the outBlde rooms are to be connected with tele phone service and to have a fire alarm bell, and every convenience that is known to the hotel world to be included in the list of attractions of the new house. The building has been renovated and remodeled from the top to the bottom. New carpets and new beds have been put in all over the place and the entire interior has been new ly painted .plastered and papered The management hopes to have the dining room opee for dinner tomor row afternoon and it may be possible that It will open at noon. As fast as the force at work can nut things to rights the hotel will be pleased to receive the patronage of all of its old friends and all the mem- bers of the traveling public who are n the city. It will assure them the '•est of treatment and every consid eration. SOUTHERN OREGON FRUIT. More Spraying Done This Year Thin Ever Before. STARTED MONDAY MORNING FOR SEASON'S RUN. Over a Million Pounds of Wool in the Warehouse Now—Four Carloads a Day Coming. The Pendletou Wool Scouring mills started work this morning with 13 men from San Francisco at the scour ing tables. By Thursday morning the scouring machines will be ready to run and when they start the wonting force will be Increased to 25 men. The first of next week a night force will be put on and the mills will be run night and day for the rest of the season, carrying a payroll of about 5<i men and boys. The mill had on hand when it started 1.125.000 pounds of wool, and more is coming in at the rate of about four < ar loads a day. I Ast season the mills scoured 3.500,- 000 pounds of wool and graded about 750,000 pounds of the amount scoured What the mill will do this season Is not yet certain; R may have a greater tun than last year, or it may have a less. The price ot wool governs the run of the mills to a great extent, u wool Is cheap and easily gotten the run will be greater; if the market is tight the run will be lighter. .Most of hte output from the mill Is shlppel to Hartford.

The PEOPLES WAREHOUSE This is May Bargain Week at The Peoples Warehouse Their Plans are being formulated to com bine the entire wool clip of the Wil lamette valley and Southern Oregon. Wools will be graded and baled to meet trade requirements and shipped direct to Eastern mills, saving al) middle profits. It is estimated under the method of selling that it will add to the profits of the growers over $100,000 now going into the pockets of the middlemen. One of the largest woo) warehouses in Portland has been secured and is being fitted up with baling machin ery and grading tables. When wools are all in shape for market sale will be advertised East and then sold under sealed blds. Having several million pounds to gether and being properly packed, it will warrant Eastern mills sending out their buyers to buy direct from the range. The largest grower in the Wiliam ette valley, S. Philllppf, of Stayton, Marlon county, is the beginner of the proposition.
