Unpretentious Performance Which Deeply Interests the Traveling Pub lic Testing the Brakes. Few people stop to observe the de tails of a business which does not concern them. Here In Pendleton are a hundred vocations which are vital to the prosperity and business of the country, yet people not directly en gaged In tome one of them never stop to inquire Into the details of their operatolon and management. There is a task that Is performed from five to 10 times dally in the railroad yards here, which dlreitly interests every man vho travels, ret not one man in 20 outside of the em ployes in the yard and on the road, know It is done. This is the testing of the air brakes on every train that passes through Pendleton. On a mountain grade, the braking power and brake appara tus is .the most important feature of the operation of railroads. The pas senger train stops In front of the depot and Immediately the "air men" begin looking over the air pipes, brake rigging, air reservoirs and all the belongings of the brake, to sea thai it is In repair. The air pump on the locomotive pumps the , drums and air pipes full, and when the Inspec tors have "gone over the train, fixed up leaks, tightened bolts and nuts and made secure every slightest de fect found, the engineman "sets" the brake; that is, he makes an applica tion of the air sufficient to hold the train down the mountain, or to check the speed of the train at any place necessary, and then the inspectors go back over th etrain and note careful ly to see that every brake is set and in proper position. This Is to Insure the certain action of the brakes after leaving here, to .make sure that the train is in condition to be handled with safety to the public and em ployes. If there is a defect It Is rem edied before the train starts. At every terminal point this operation Is repeated, so that the man who looks from the cab window on the engine BROTHERS MEET RELATIVES OF UMATILLA COUNTY PIONEER HERE.

Order Issued Saturday Judge Hart man Explains Why Such Action Was Necessarily Taken by Uma. tilla. The bounty on scalps has been done away with in Umatilla county. Last Saturday an order was Issued by the county commissioners' court, as fol lows: "Now, on this day. It is ordered by the court that the clerk of this court be, and he Is hereby ordered and di rected, not to audit or issue county warrants in payment of bounties on nny wildcat, coyote, mountain Hon. panther, couger, grey wolf (or timber wolr until the further ordefcMBf this I court" Speaking of the matter, Judge G. A. Hartman said: j "The state has refused to pay the bounties and as Union and Baker i counties both have refused to pay1 the bounty on these animals, it was, high time for Umatilla to take some step. "Scalps were being brought In from Idaho and Washington and surround ing counties and the payment was becoming n great burden to this county. Over $12,000 has been paid by the clerk as bounty. "The law should be repealed as It Is only in the Interests of a small class of our people the sheepmen. Sheep have been petted too much by the state. Laws have been pass ed keeping out foreign sheep, and many privileges accorded to sheep, while at the same time only about one-thirtieth of the taxes of Umatilla are paid by sheepmen. will ioo f toV ,ifiw , - eaunB nouse, oi .ueucuuui. is iu me ward getting the manufacturing es-i"'- tauiishment started if it is hoped to get the number of machines manu factured for the coming season that have already been spoken for. While the citizens of Pendleton have been somewhat slow in coming to the front with the money for the preferred stock, Mr. Clopton. who has the matter in charge, says he thinks there is no reason to believe that the whole amount will not be raised at once. Those back of the company have become somewhat impatient at the delay as every day that the mat ter is held back means a loss of many dollars to them. Epidemic of Forgery. F. E. Boren was arrested In La Grande Sunday on a charge of for gery. He had been working near the city during the harvest season and becoming quite well known, was not suspicioned when he presented a check for $10 to be cashed at the Owl saloon. Upon investigation the check was found to be bogus and Borens was arrested before he left town and eight dollars of the money was recovered.
