LECTURE COURSE ASSURED.
Epworth League Arranged for Four
High-Class Entertainments for tlie
Winter Months.
Four high-class entertainments
have been engaged by the Epworth
League, for Its lecture course, to be
given at the M. E. church, during the
next three months.
The first number will be a con
cert by Prof. Heritage of the Spo
kane Conservatory of Music, to be
given next Tuesday night, December
13. Professor Heritage is one of the
most proficient concert performers
on the coast and has attracted large
crowds wherever he has appeared.
The other numbers, the dates of
which have not been definitely ar
ranged, are a lecture by Rev. Ira D.
Driver of Eugene, the well known
lecturer and preacher of International
fame, the Dixie Jubilee Singers, and
Prof. Coleman of the Willamette
University, in a lecture. Dates for
the three last entertainments will be
announced later.
The league has every assurance
that all these numbers are of the
highest possible order, and the lecture-loving
public of this city is as
sured of an entertaining diversion In
this course of lectures and concerts.
Rev. Driver has Just returned from
an extended tour of the United States
and Europe, in which he has deliver
ed over 100 lectures on various top
ics, and is a recognized master of
the art. J fa
He has been a resident of Lane
county for over 50 years, and Is one
of the most powerful pulpit orators
In the state. He was formerly a
member of the Oregon state senate,
and Is also a political speaker of na
tional reputation.
FOR VAUDEVILLE SHOWS.
Manager of the BIJou Circuit of Port
land Looks Over Situation Here.
W. H. Brown of Portland, man
ager of the BIJou Theatrical circuit,
a line of vaudeville shows of the high
est class, and Mike Goldstein, the
veteran showman of Boise City, were
In the city this afternoon looking
over the theatrical situation with the
view to starting a vaudeville house
here, to be on the regular Portland-Seattle-Tacoma-Bolse
City circuit.
Owing to the impossibility of find
ing a vacant building, and also that
light could not be furnished them,
the project is not to be further pur
sued, at this time.
Both gentlemen are experienced
showmen, and would place Pendleton
on a circuit that would bring the
best vaudeville on the road to this
city.

W
F. Buckner Says Umatilla County
Cannot Bo Excelled.
"Many mistakes were made by the
pioneer orchardists In this country,
In selecting the variety of apples to
plant," said W. F. Buckner, an ex
perienced orchardlst, living near the
state line in Umatilla county, to the
East Oregon Ian today.
"Because of these unfortunate mis
takes, some of the oldest bearing ap
ple orchards In the county produce
fruit that is not saleable, to day, In
competition with fruit grown on well
selected orchards. In the first place,
apples should be selected to suit the
country In which they are to be
grown, and then varieties should be
selected to suit the market In wh,Ch
I hey are to be sold.
"Here, where the market for win
ter apples Is in the northern states,
where long, cold winter are the rule
hardy, good keepers must be grown
Apples that ripen and begin M decay
In the middle of the winter are not
the kinds to grow here.

T. G. HA1LEY RETURNS.
Was Successful In ills Itlgnt of Way
Case on the Condon-Arlington
Hallway Line,
T. G. HnUy returned last evenlm
from Condon where he has been en
gaged in several right of way suits,
along the line of the Condon-Arling
ton railway.
He was successful In the two cases
tried, winning a verdict for $2700 In
tlement of the cases on this basis was
largely due to the liberal policy ot
J. W. Morrow, right of way ana mnu
agent for the O. H. & N., who made
a close personal Investigation of the
claims, and consented to allow some
thing near the value of the right ot
way. to the owners of the land.
A Inrare number of men are worn-
lug on the Condon-Arlington branch
road, and it will be hurried to com
pletion as rapidly as possible, wnne
this road will open up an extensive
country, Mr. Halley declares inai
none of the country tributary to u,
compares to the Umatilla county
wheat or alfalfa land.
Many settlers are going Into the In
terior, in hopes that the railway fa
cilities will afford an outlet for In
creased products, but there Is very
little good farming land left vacant
anywhere within a reasonable dis
tance of the proposed line.
In all his travels this season, Mr.
Halley has not yet found a country
that offers the same opportunities
for all classes of people, as the west,
and especially Umatilla county.
Dr. Calhoun Cnniiot Come.
Word was received yesterday that
Rev. J. C. Calhoun had been called
east by the death of his mother, and
would be unable to fill further en
gagements for western meetings at
present. It Is hoped that he may
visit Pendleton later in the year.
Rev. W. 8. Holt, D. D., of Portland,
will speak at the meeting at the
Presbyterian church at 7:30 this eve
ning.
Off to the Penitentiary.
Sheriff T. D. Taylor and Special
Deputy H. W. Fowler departed this
morning for the state penitentiary at
Salem with Otis Franklin and Charles
Stickler. The prisoners pleaded
guilty to stealing a buggy and a team
of horses and were sentenced to two
years each in the state penitentiary.
Carried $2000 Insurance.
H. T. Booth, of Baker City, agent
of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company, Is expected to arrive this
week to adjust the Insurance carried
by the late Charles Cameron In that
company. His policy amounts to
J2000 and his mother, Mrs. Elnora
Cameron, Is beneficiary.
Will Complete Mormon Templo.
The $30,000 Mormon temple being
built at La Grande will be completed
early In the spring. During the beet
harvest work on the temple has been
suspended.
