TREELESS HOMES ARE A VERY POOR SORT Culture of People of A r bored and Non-Arbored Sections Contrasted Unilll aod 'Morrow TIYe Viticulture! Future. (Special Dispatch to The JosrnaL) Pendleton, Or., Sept 'SC. On of ths moat striking addresses of the many that hava baen delivered during the progress of tha Umatilla-Morrow fair waa that of Addison Bennett, adltor of tha Irrlgon Irrigator, on Morrow county day. yaatardar. on tree planting. Ha pradletad that tha future "of tha laotlona of Umatilla and Morrow oountlea nearly adjacent to tha Columbia river would be conditioned by the vlneyardlst. He com pared the traeleaa, vlneless, flowerleaa wheat belt with well arbored regions, asserting that a contract In the decree of culture or tne innaDiiams wh na only marked but Inevitable, an that a corresponding difference In actual sell ing vaiuea or properties w talnly to be noted. Mr. Bennett aald Plant Trees. "If we thought heaven had no treea we would not want to o there, for we can picture no place nearing u.riuuun which haa not aunahlne and ahade, and shade la Juat aa eaaentlal, In a perfect climate, aa eunanine. "We of eaatern Oregon feel and know that we have aa fine a climate aa God ever gave to any of hla recalcitrant children. We have a wealth of aunahlne. You may not know It, but we have In the couree of the year more aunahlne than the so-called aunny California; mora hours, because we are farther north and during the trowing- season the aun lingers longer with ua. It la for that reaaon that Robert Slelcher haa aald that our land along the Columbia river, In Morrow and Umatilla counties, will In time become the flneat grape producing section In the United States. Who la Robert SlelcherT He la the grape expert of Lewlston, Idaho, and the agricultural department recognises him aa one of the foremost viticulturlsta In the world. nd to him we owe homage for giving us several varieties of new grapes, notably the Black Hamburg. Mr. Slelcher visited Irrlgon a couple of years ago and spent a week there, and it waa nia .opinion that we could raise aa fine grapea aa any place In the world. And the grape, above all other fruits of the vine, needs a wealth of sunshine to bring It to maturity, to aweeten It. to give It that rare ambrosial flavor which la tha glory of, tha perfect grapt. - . A Vision of Tutors Glories. , "Dunehlnet We have a tasts of It al most every day In the whole year' and It will come to be one of our chief as sets aa tha decades roll around. "Like a true Oregon Ian I forget my self when I touch upon -the Oregon cli mate. Pictures come before me, visions arise, and I fancy Oregon aa aha should be and will be. I see Pendleton a city of many thousands of. prosperous, happy, contented people; I aee Heppner a busy market, where each year millions of dollars will change handa for our wool, our aheep and lambs, our cattle and hogs, our wheat and barley; I picture tone as a cuy respienaenr, ana Deautirui; I see Athena, Freewater. Milton. Uma tilla, Echo, Lexington, Irrlgon - and acorea of other dales and towns, with their paved streets, electric lights, many trolley car conecttons, and. filled with a people who enjoy life and participate In the general prosperity. , "I aee their long lines of shaded streeta, their silver poplars, their oaks ana locusts, their maplea and walnuts, and. long rowa and straight and winding venues 01 ine Liomoaray poplars, in terspersed at every hand. In every comer. In every nook and yard and In- cioeure mere win oe a wealth of fruit irees miuions or tnem. "And It la. after all. these trees that will change our climate, change our country, nail our winds, abate our sand drifts and make our country a heaven. Traeleaa Wheat Terms. "Go out Into the wheat belt: notice the untidy ahacka, the unkept grounds surrounding many of the dwelllnars: note the unpalnted domiciles, the bat tered barns, the untidy yards, the un palnted, unwhitewaahed fences and out buildings; note the lack oftree and shrub and vine. . And then eome to a place where there are a few treea, where there is a dooryard. where the fence ia whitewashed and the house painted. Compare thla with the other places, and then thank Ood that there are those who are actually making homea, actually changing the face of the country, actually living after the rasnion mat uoa intended his children should live. Not long ago I took a tour shrourh an amoining county ana i noted th unthrlft of many of the aettlera. found aa a rule they were but awaiting a buyer, that they might sell out and move on to cumber the ground In soma omer locality, i round the young men and young women from these co-called homea preferred the saloon, the store box. a place as a servant in a restau rant or atore, or even aa a day laborer, to their homea. Around theae places there waa no semblance of anvthlns- beautiful and the houae waa the same within. The Some Where Treea Urow. THOUSANDS OF HOLIES ''And then I came to another home. one recognised a Ibng way off by a few vtnea and treea and r lowers. The fence waa whitewashed. the house waa painted, dainty curtains fluttered in the windows ana an organ eat in the narlor ana silverware graced me taoie. I no ticed the young people remained on the farm. They were helping father and mother make a real home, and nerhana aome of their time, much of their time, waa put In carrying water to Irritate the treea and vlnea and shrubs and flowera and lawn. Did the owner of that place wlah to sell? No. He was satisfied and con tented, but whenever a buyer came into the community It waa this place he wanted, and offered a good price ror u. wnue me ireeieas nome was passed by with aversion and oontempt.

As a iea ture of their fall opening, they had ar ranged and staged very artistically, i nromenade of living modela women dressed in imported gowns for every occasion evening, the street, costume ror dinner, automontitng, carriage rid ing, etc., showing, most effectively and In a most original way, the fall and winter styles In general costuming and all the smeller acceasorles of woman s toilette. Thousands of people filled the streets, many standing for nearly three hours, while the moving procession of gay splendor passed through the long avenues or winnows. Mr. Sbemanskl la certainly original in his display conceptions. The Idea was carried out with perfect taate and with out a hitch In the constant coming and Solng of costumed modela. The wln nws were elegantly hung In rich dark drapes, making a auttable background, and one that detracted not at all from (the rich gowna of the women. The show wns certainly worm maxing considerable effort to see, and It Is un derstood that an even more elaborate performance In every respect Is billed for tonight. Everest's Military band furnished music during the entire evening. (United Press Leased Wlr.) Washington. Sept. 25. The snnual International convention of the Brother hood of St. Andrew began in this city matter of dollars and cents, aa a matter of profit, plant aome trees. For your own sake, for the sake of your county, for the benefit of your country, plant a few trees. And above all, for the aake of posterity, plant trees. You may not be able to do much for those who are to come after you; you may not be able to erect a monument or donate a library or build a fougtaln or endow a hospital, but you can plant a tree, and it will outlive library, monu ment, fountain and hoapltal, and will for generations to come give comfort and cheer, and perhaps nourishment and life to many who will rise to call you blessed.
