The Unien says:
"The Pacific Express company has

National Irrigation congress to be
held at Boise, Idaho, from September
3 to 8. The company advertises that
It will carry free all fine exhibits of

A great interest is being manifested
In this congress all over the country,
and exhibits will be sent from nearly

and from many of the eastern states.
There Is no hotter fruit raised any
where than that raised In Walla Walla
county and It Is believed thnt no coun

It Is to be ioped that the matter
of a fruit display will be taken up by
tho farmers, fruitgrowers nnd busi
ness men and that a concerted action
can be taken toward making the
proper showing at Boise,
So far no arrangement of this Rind
has been made In this city, the local

I
Seymour Jones, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Freeman Jones, living near No
Un, was killed by a freight train some
time ctyse to midnight last night, by
being run over Just this side of Nolln
station. From all indications young
Jones had sat down on the track while
partly drunk, and was struck by
freight train No. 353, which was fol
lowing close behind No. 5, the west
bound passenger.
Aa No. 6, the morning eastbound
passenger train, was passing Nolln
this morning the trainmen noticed the
mutilated remains of a man scattered
along the track. The train was stop
ped and the section boss at Nolln no
tified to watch the remains until the
arrival of Coroner Folsom. That or
flcial was Informed of the discovery
soon after the passenger reached this
pace. He left on the westbound pas
senger for the scene, and returned on
a freight early this afternoon.
According to Mr. Folsom the body
was found beside the track, about
400 -t.rds this side of Nolln. Beside
tho Hack was'ulso an unbroken bottle
of beer with a corkscrew. From the
footprints and other evidence It Is be
lleved that young Jones was sitting on
the track In a drunken condition
when the freight train struck him.
The dead man was in Pendleton
vesterdav afternoon and Is said to
have gone down to Nolln on No. 5 last
night. After getting off at Nolln he
had evidently started to walk up the
track to his home, which Is a mile or
more this side the station. While do
ing so he sat down on the track and
was not aroused by the approaching
train.
The body of young Jones was terri
bly mutilated by the freight train, the
same having passed over his entire
body, cutting off his head and arms
and rendering the corpse almost un
recognizable. The remains were
brought here today but will be' ship
ped back to Nolln for Interment. No
inquest will be held, as Coroner Fol
som holds such to be unnecessary.

This afternoon Superintendent
Shewry stated that the carload
of cement for curbing work has
arrived and that a force of men
will be started to work day after
tomorrow, some of the workmen
coming over from Walla Walla
tomorrow. '
That the street paving work will
commence at once was declared this
morning by Waren Construction com
pany people, who have Just arrived
for the purpose of starting operations
under the company's contract.
J. H. Shewry, superintendent of
construction, and H. E: Hoyt, cashier,
are the two officials now here, and
the former will be In charge of the
paving work In Pendleton. Mr. Hoyt
will remain until the work has been
organized, when he will return to
Pendleton.
I According to Superintendent Shew
ry n carload of cement nnd one of
drainage pipe are expected here this
afternoon nnd as soon as they arrive
actual work will be started. He says
that much of the delay has been caus
de by the difficulty In securing ce
ment, which is now very scarce in the
coast market.
As soon ns the cement and sewer
pipe arrives a force of men will be
started nt work upon the curbing, nnd
another at placing the drainage pipe.
The company will bring its cement
men from outside, and laborers will
be employed here. As many men will
be employed as can be secured as the
sewer work and grading will necessi
tate a largo force. Superintendent
Shewry does not believe he will have
much trouble In securing laborers for
the work, but If he does will bring
in a crew from Walla Walla. At that
place the company is Just finishing
with a gang of 250 and many of these
will seek work here when through In
the Garden City.
Superintendent Phewery has been In
charge of the paving work at Walla
Walla, though the company has not
yet finished with Its lost contract
there. Wrlthln a short time a contract
will be completed for $75,000 worth of
paving at Baker City, nnd also the
Boise contract will soon be made.
Electric Poles a Problem.
What to do with the electric poles
In the gutter on the west side of Main
street nnd tho north side of Court Is
a question thnt will have to be settled
soon. According to the Warren peo
ple a waterproof pavement cannot bo
placed around poles nnd consequently
the poles should be placed through
the sidewalks or the wires put under
ground. The telephone company has
already made arrangements to place
their wives beneath the surface, but
whnt disposition will bo made of the
electric wires remains to be seen.

Fair Is Assured The $1500 Avail

Sliced Premiums Probable Tliat a
Mowing of the Fair Commission
Will Be Held Sntnnlay.
That the $1500 state appropriation
for premiums at the coming district
fair will be available, has finally been
ascertained, and as a result the suc
cess of the enterprise Is now assured.
In a letter to his partner, John Mc
Court, District Attorney Phelps states
that he called upon the secretary of
state while In Salem and that he
found that official willing to Issue
the warrant for the $1500 when the
proper time comes. Though some ob
jection was encountered owing to the
failure of some of the commissioners
to file their oaths of office, this was
satisfactorily explalneid, and the
money will be forthcoming.
A letter has also been received by
Dr. C. J. Smith from State Printer.
Whitney, in which that official says
he consulted the secretary of state re- "
gaiding the $250 worth of printing
that Is to be done for the fair, and
was Informed by the chief clerk that
the Umatilla-Morrow county money
Is available.
Moans Success of Fair.
According to Leon Cohen, president
of the fair commission, the action of
the secretary of state now removes all
doubt regarding the state money, and
consequently there will be $1500 to
offer as premiums for livestock and
agricultural exhibits. None of the
money can be used as premiums for
trlnla nt anppri Riirh heln? nrnhthlted
by the law.
It Is probable that a meeting of
the fair association will be held on
next Saturday, nt which a plan of ac
tion for the fair will be agreed upon.
However, In the meantime, the local
members of the commission will be
busy engaged in working out the gen
eral plans, one of the most Important
things being the selection of a fair
site.
