TNEED.V RIKCVIT ROMANCE.
'rcstoii W. Search Tells an I'unrltteii
Story of Biscuit Trust.
The story of the naming of the
1'needu biscuit is perhaps as unique
as the name itself. Preston W. Search,
the "schoolmaster traveler," who lec
tured before the inland Empire
Teachers' Association last week. Is
personally acquainted with the bis
cuit trust that manufactures the
Uneeda. To a little group of friends
at the Hotel Pendleton last evening.
Mr. Search told the following story
of the miming of the wafer:
"Bert 'Crawford, the son of the
president of the biscuit trust, was
taken seriously 111 of typhoid and lay
for several months in a hospital. His
nurse was one of those ministering
angels that so often capture the heart
of their patiejit in their untiring ef
forts to bring back the low, ebbing
strength. This was the case of Bert
Crawford. He desperately loved his
nurse, but he hesitated to declare his
feelings until first he had gained his
father's consent.
"Each day the busy father would
leave hla office to pay a brief visit to
theu&tient. As was his wont, he
would do most of the talking and the
boy In his embarrassment would not
secure an opportunity to tell of his
intentions.
"In the meantime the father, not
knowing of his son's love for the pret
ty nurse, was himself smitten by her
charms and laid his heart, hand and
Incidentally his fortune at her feet
and was accepted.
"Then came the bitter moment
when each learned of the other's af
fection for the woman. But the son
was of good stuff and he gracefully
bowed to the defeat and the elder
Crawford married the girl.
"When the National Biscuit Com
pany produced a new wafer the elder
ly bridegroom asked his wife to name
It and she called It the Uneeda. Thus
the homely little article of food has
women In Its name, the romance of
three hearts. This story I know to
be absolutely true and there are but
few persons who know of It."
The annual fair of the Sisters of St.
Francis for the benefit of St. Antho
ny's hospital, opened last night, with
an attendance that taxed the rooms
in the Bowman building to accommo
date It. Sales by the severul botohs
were large and the Sisters In charge
are confident of large returns during
the entire week. The fair will close
Saturday night.
The booths are tastefully decorated
and the articles displayed are all
works of art, needle work, sofa
cushions, dolls and enumerable other
things of use and ornament In the
home. In connection with the booths
a dining room is being conducted.
The women of St. Mary's Catholic
parish,' who are assisting the Sisters
of St. Francis, are: Miss Margaret
Ityan, Mrs. M. Light, Miss Grata, Miss
Leet, Mrs. Clark, Miss Cunningham,
Mrs. Chase, Mrs. Shears , and Mrs.
Kennedy.
The members of the sisterhood and
the parish have been preparing for
the fair for several weeks and each
night new features will be added by
way of entertainment. Tonight the
doora will be opened at 7 o'clock.

Light at Irrigation Meetings.
Pendleton will be represented at
the coming National Irrigation Con
gress at El Paso, Texas, by several of
her most prominent citizens. A spec-
inl rate for the round trip has been
made by all railroads leading to El
Paso, and efforts are being put for
ward to Induce as many Oregontans
to attend as possible In order to se
cure the next convention for Port
land during the Lewis and Clark ex
position. The regular rate to El Paso
is $70. Delegates to the congress,
therefore may go and return for this
fine. Pullman fare for the round
trip will be S12.
Mayor Matlock, who Is now at St.
Louis, will return to Pendleton In
time to vote and will then proceed
to Pnso. Judge Stephen A. Lowell
hus signified his intention of going
lo Ihe congress If possible. His law
partner, T. G. Hulley, who Is now In
tne East, is expected to be In El Va.1,
also William Ulakeley and H. J. Tay
lor. Heretofore Oregon's representation
at the Irrigation congress has been
very light'. At Colorado Springs.
there were but five Oregontans out or
400 delegates present. At the Ogden
meeting there were 1200 delegates,,
and 60 from this state.
Governor George E. Chamberlain
and Congressman J. N. Williamson
will lead the Portland delegation. The
Portlanders will leave for El Paso on
the night of November 9, taking four
days for the trip. The congreBB con
venes November 15 and will be la
session three days. a
The opening up of vast arid land
regions In Oregon during the past
few months has caused much Interest
locally In regard to the question of Ir
rigation. The bringing of the con
gress to this state In 1906 will give
an opportunity for Irrigators through
out the United States to study Ore
gon's condltiona and It Is believed
will prove of great benefit to the
state.
' Other Delegates May Go.
In addition, steps are being taken
to Insure the attendance at KI Paso
of D. C. Brownell. O. D. Teel and
J. F. McNaught, of Echo. Their go
ing is not assured, but Is probable.
Judge Lowell Is also In correspon
dence with W. S. Goodman, ex-repre
sentative, of Milton, and with W. T.
Shaw, president of the Hudson Bay
Irrigation Company to secure their
attendance If possible.

Heeclier and "tlie Rooster."
That Henry Ward Beecher was
spared much embarrassment by his
quickness at repartee is Illustrated by
the following story:
One evening, as he was in the midst
of an Impassioned speech, some one
attempted to .interrupt him by sud
denly crowing like a rooster. It was
done to perfection: a number of peo
ple laughed In spite of themselves,
and the speaker's friends felt that In
a moment the whole effect of the
meeting, und of Mr. Beecher's thrill
ing appeals, might be lost. The ora
tor, however, was equal to the occa
sion. He stopped, listened till the
crowing had ceased, and then, with
a look of surprise, pulled out his
watch.
"Morning already!" he .said; "my
watch is only at 10. But there can.
