SOCIAL HAPPENINGS OF THE PAST WEEK
n
Concerning the People of Pendleton and Vicinity Notes
Personal and Otherwise By Our Regular Correspondent
Social events the past week have
been very few, owing, probably, to
the fact that the attention of many
ladles has been occupied wilh the
Catholic fair, now being held at Ar
mory hall, which has been visited by
large crowds nightly. So far It has
proved a financial success and a large
sum of money will be realized hy the
sisters for the hospital fund, which
.will well repay them for their ardu
ous and painstaking labors.
The reception at the Episcopal par
sonage, also the musicale at Mrs.
Frederick Judd's, which were to have
been given this week, and postponed
on account of Miss Potwlnc's Illness,
will take place later, possibly next
week.
"American Song Writers."
One of the most pleasant meetings
of the Thursday Afternoon Club, was
held at the home of Mrs. John Hailey,
north of the river. .The topic of com
versation for the afternoon was
"American Song Writers." Mrs.
Marston played an opening selection,
followed by a solo sung by Mrs. Alice
Sheridan. Papers were then read by
Mesdames Guernsey, Lane and Bean.
By request, the song, "My Old Ken
tucky Home," was rendered by Mrs.
Roscoe Bryson, who was a guest of
the club. An amusing feature of the
session was "A Musical Romance."
Twelve questions, written on a slip
of paper, were given each guest, the
answers to be filled in with the name
of some song suitable to tho question
asked. The answers were varied, and
when Tead, gave much merriment.
Mrs. J. A. Borie closed the afternoon's
work by singing a solo, after which
light refreshments were served.
Lecture by Professor Robinson.
The second of the series of the
university extension lecture course,
was delivered at the Congregational
church last night to an appreciative
audience not as large as the lecture
deserved.
Professor I F. Robinson, of Whit
man College, Walla Walla, spoke on
the subject of "Delphi." The lecture
was very Interesting and Instructive!
to those Interested In literary work,
and acquainted with Greek history.
Professor Robinson has traveled all
through the old biblical countries and
being familiar with the ways of the
people In Athens and other places,
made the lecture very instructive as
it was founded on personal knowl
edge. He spoke at length about the
Delphi oracles of Athens, and describ
ed the. buildings of the temple, the
worship of the people who attended
at that temple, and the Implicit faith
they placed in the utterances of the
oracle.

perlenced wheat buyer, says that the
wheat produced in Umatilla county
will compare favorably with that of
any produced In the world, loth for
milling and export pinnoses. This
company Is well equipped to carry on
Its business. It has all of its stations
connected with barbwire telephones
and also has collection in this manner
with many large wheatraisers. Mr.
Bradley claims to be the inventor of
the barbwire telephone system.
Another Big Concern.
The Pacific Coast Elevator Com
pany also has an agent at this place
In the person of Air. D. Williams. This
company, whose headquarters are in
Portland, also has three warehouses
in Athena. One is 4C0x50 feet, an
other '200x40 feet and the other which
is an elevator has a capacity of 40,000
bushels. The company has handled
about 150,000 bushels of grain from
this point annually for a number of
years. It uses the O. R, & N. system
for its transportation. Mr. Williams
is regarded as one of the best wheat
buyers In the count.
Still Another.
Balfour, Guthrie Company, of Port
land nnH Tammn lire also represent
ed here. David Taylor, a pioneer of
the place nas Doen nanaung weir
business for the past two years and
during that time has handled each
year about 100,000 bushels of grain.
He owns his warehouse which Is a
line structure 60x180 fet. He stands
well In the community and is regarded
as one of the best Judges of 'wheat in
tho county. His wheat like that of
Mr. Bradley, is handled by the W. &
C. R. system. Mr. Taylor has been
handling wheat ior many years, ue
Is familiar wiUi the history of wheat
lii Hir countv from the be
ginning. Ho tells about hauling wheat
from the Athena country in 1877 u)
Byers' 'mill in Pendleton, that being
the only market close at hand at that
Ume. Up to two years ago Mr. Taylor
had been buying wheat for himself
and shipping.
Sure Crops.
While it la tho boast that there has
never been a failure of a wheat crop
in Umatilla county, yet. the old
pioneers point out the fact that way
back In the beginning of the industry
there were obstacles In the way. Tho
lack of rains in those days cut the
crops short and then tho squirrels
preyed upon tho wheat to a damaging
extent The maner of harvesting and
threshing also caused considerable
loss. Many of tho om-uraers remem
ber when the wheat was cut with a
scythe and threshed out by tramping
upon It with the feet Many interest
ing stories are told of cnida wheat
raising and long hauls to the market
In early days.
Tho Pacific Coast Passenger Asso
ciation wil hold a meeting at Taco
ma November 21. On the same date
the Railroad Traffic Agents' Associa
tion will hold its annual convention
in that city. ,
