Tie a people together by their pock­ ets—that fabric of union will tear easily. Tie their heart- cords together—no blade has yet been tempered that could sunder such a bond.—Bourk White If the Merchants' Carnival is not made the means ot bringing outside visitors to Pendleton, it will not serve the purpose intended.

The Umatilla county corn crop is becoming a prominent factor in the county. Next year the acreage should be doubled. It is not only a rest for the land, but the product is one of the best far-producing feeds that can be grown. .More corn means more beef and pork, and this is what brings outside money into the county.
