(iHEATEST EVEXT. The East Oregonian Is familiar with the history of the fairs of eastern Or egon, and it says unhesitatingly that j the greatest fair In point of attend-1 ance, Interest and genuine amusement! and instruction ever held In eastern Oregon will close its doors in Pendle ' ton tonight. The Umatilla-Morrow county fair sets a nace In eastern Oregon. It Is now an cstablisht institution, a per manent and fixt event in the district and the OBJECT OF THE PEOPLE OF BOTH COUNTIFS SHOULD BE TO ADD TO IT ANNUALLY UNTIL IT REALLY BECOMES THE ONE CHIEF ATTRACTION IN THE EN TIRE EASTERN OREGON SECTION EVERY YEAR. . The state fair at Salem Is a state event. It draws people from every county and creates an Interest thru out the entire northwest. It would be extremely egotistical for Umatilla and Morrow counties to attempt to rival the state fair, but In a sense, the fair at Pendleton should be to eastern Oregon what the state fair Is to the state a rally of the Industrial and commercial forces of this entire sec tion In a grand display of resources and In a friendly rivalry 'or super iority In the homely arts and Indus tries of the great inland empire. THE COUNTY COURTS OF UMA TILLA AND MORROW COUNTIES SHOULD NOW FURNISH A PART OF THE FUNDS NECESSARY TO ERECT A PERMANENT PAVILION, THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD AP PROPRIATE SUFFICIENTLY TO AID IN THIS AND THEN THE PEO PLE OF THE TWO COUNTIES SHOULD GO DOWN IN THEIR POCKETS AND FINISH THE JOB. What Is absolutely necessary la a flxt place in which to hold the fair. When a permanent pavilion Is secur ed, then everything accumulated can be plact there. There will be a home for the fair. Permanent exhibits may be plact In the pavilion, gTalns, grasses, manufactured articles and other Imperishable stuff may be stor ed there and It would be the head quarters and permanent home for the association. All efforts should be bent toward securing a permanent and substantial pavilion. Pendleton will do her share' as she has dune even more than her Just fchare In bearing the expense of the fair Just clOKlug. POl.l.AliS AUK NOT DKKAMS. In the estimation of the plutocrats and their willing followers, it may he a "dream" for the common people to advocate government ownership of railroads', but the millions of dollars paid out by the inland empire In the past quarter of a century In excessive freight rates. In discriminations, in lack of railroad facilities and in dou ble rales from the east to Portland and then back to Interior points, are not "dreams" by any means. Sufficient money has been extract ed frcm the people of 20 counties in the inland empire In eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho, In excessive and unjust rates, to bild a line of railroad from Portland to Boise City. The eternal fight of the railroads thru paid lobbyists In state and na tional legislatures to secure favorite legislation, ,by which they may be authorized by law to fix their own rules, rates and regulations are not "dreams." Three and four cent pas senger fares are not "dreams" when Australia and New Zealand charge on government systems but 1 and 2 cents. Millions of dollars paid out to state and national railroad commissions to wutch the roads and force them to deal justly with the public are not "dreams." Securing rights of way In dreams." Securing rights of way Into for years without bilding into those sections are not "dreams." Holding back the development of rich states thru mutual agreements on part of .the combined systems not to grant reductions in rates and not to bild branch lines nor grant any recognition to the public until forct to do so by state or national legislation are not "dreams." In fact, there are a number of feat ures of public ownership which are not dreams, but which Impress very forcibly the fellow who has paid the bills and contributed to t-. 000, 000 an nual profits on short railroad systems which have but a few hundred miles of road In operation. THE DE CAPKIO CONCEHT. The rendition of good music is a high form of worship. Nature gave to man the Innumerable harmonies that he might sing his praise to the Creator. Next to sincere prayer, good music Is the , most sacred expres sion of the soul of man. That the mercenary world of today should pause to listen to- fascinating music is the surest evidence of its high and all-pervading influence. From the counting rooms, the stores, the blacksmith shops, the fields, the mills and the street corners, the rug ged and hardened man mingles with the artist from the studio and the dreamer from his books, and pauses enraptured under the spell of good music. Pendleton Is fortunate to have a feast of good music In the city this week. This is not disparaging to home musicians nor to home Instltu tions, for there are as good as any of equal experience and practise, but the music furnlsht at the fair has been a feast. Its climax will be reacht on Sunday evening when the sacred concert is given by the De Caprio band at the fair pavilion. All confusion will be absent The band will be at Its best and there will be nothing to distract nor irritate and the people who really love music will be given an opportunity to hear what will perhaps be the best band and concert mnsic ever rendered In the city. -3 IS IT LACK OF PATRIOTISM.? An old soldier complains to the East Oregonlan that the people at tending the county fair this week have utterly failed to arise to their feet, In the perfunctory fashion, when the "Star Spangled Banner" and other patriotic selections have been played by the De Caprio band. However, the old soldier may find consolation In the fact that the audi ence went wild one evening when the strains of "Dixie" caused even the posts and pillars of the pavilion to tremble. Roosevelt makes no secret of his pleasure at the nomination of Hughes for governor of New York. FALL WEDDING STATIONERY. of the very latest styles and correct form Is our specialty.

The Saturday Evening Post, tin or gan of the plutocracy, unconsclouslj makes an excellent urgumcul in favoi of government ownership of railroads in an article in the last Issue, on the Union Pacific stock manipulations of the oast month. If the government owned the road the manipulations of the stork mar ket to inflate values for speculntivi purposes, resulting In ruined fortunes, ruined characters, bankruptcy, dl grice and suicide for some and afflu euce nnd opulence for others thru thi legalized plundering of the stock ex change, would all be avoided. The Post says: The Union Pacific was bllt In goot' purt b the public. The direct debt to the national treasury for aid ex tended to the enterprise amounted with accrued Interest, to upward ol $,r.0, 000.000 at the time of the reor ganlatlon. The road was also given an empire in public lands. It has been selling these. lands for 30 years but still has about 4.000.000 acres with land assets valued nt nearly $10, 000,000. Keep this In mind. The directors met on a Wednesday and authorized the declaration of n dividend for the half year (the pre vious dividend having been at the rate of 6 per Vent a year). The next duj the executive committee declared the dividend, but kept Its action secret. At the opening of the Stork Ex change Friday it was announct thai the dividend had been lncreast to 1C pe rcent a year. Union Pacific stool advanct $17 per share. Over 600.001 shares were sold. Next day there was some furthei advance, with enormous sales. News pipers blot-sinned with headline! about the immense winnings of tin Harrimnn pool In the stock. In two wild dns about half the total out standini; stock of the road was handl ed on the exchange at an average prlci of about Sl'O ., shire. A month be fore the saick hud sold under $140 a share. Estimating the profits of thi pool, with a numeral and seven ciph ers, was, naturally, a pleasant exercls for repot torial imaginations. M-rely operating a railroad is much toe slow aiid tHill a game for a really up-to-date captain of Industry. Ma nipulating its stork on the exchange is far livelier nnd more profitable. Wt often wonder why these gentlemct h ither about government regulation maximum freight bills and the like T'u-y ran rig the stock market jus' the same. The constant tendency of high fi nance is to divorce the Interest of thi men In control of great propertiei from the interests of the properties themselves. The profit that a Union Pacific di rector cou'd have made by lucreaslmi the tonnage or lowering the operatinj cost of the railroad would be a mere bagatelle compared with the gain ht could have made bv buying P. propel block of stock when he knew thai the dividend was going to be lncreast and selling it out after the other stock holders and the pubjic knew. Whi should a Hepburn bill trouble them' PLANTATIONS TV SAMOA. Consul General George Himrod. of Apia, responds to Amerlca-n Inquiries as to tropical agriculture fn Samoa, as follows: Land suitable for planting can be leased from natives from 25 to 75 cents per annum. The area rf freehold land is Pmlted and the cost varies from $10 to $20 per acre, clearing expenses running up to $14'. The cost of planting cocoanut and" bringing them up to the eighth year, when a return can be expected, Is $135 per acre. The cost for cocoa plantations until the sixth year runs from $150 to $175 per acre, and rubber $150 to $165. Vanilla does not pay to fertil ize. In Samoa most of the land near the water front Is owned by the natives and Is studded thickly with cocoanut p:lros, planted without ordier or sys tem. They extend back from the coast for miles to an elevation not exceeding 600 feet, and In such prox Imlty to the coast that the palms get the benefit of the moisture carried by the trade winds from the sea. In plantation systems th trees are plAced 20 to 30 feet apart. The aver age yield per acre Is from 700 to 1000 pounds, thou 1200 to 1109 pounds Is not an uncommon vleld. The large planters use the hot-air system for drvlr.g copra, and copra thus treated can be used for confectionery pur poses. The average price of copra In Apia during 1905 was $7.50 per ton, delivered f. o. b. ship. COST OF GROWING GRAIN. How mnny farmers are there In the country who know how much It costs to produce a bushet of wheat, corn or other staple product! The claim Is made by experts of the department oi agriculture that efforts along the ne of saving In cost of pro ductlon are almost unknown to the average American farmer, and that In this failure rests the explanation for so much dissatisfaction among far mers even In times of comparative high prices for farm staples. The de partment Is about to publish the re sults of an Investigation Into cost of production on farms. The Importance of this Inquiry Is brot home to the students of agricul tural conditions In this country on ac count of the fact that It Is generally admitted that the day of cheap farm staples has gone, not to return. Farm values are tending upward. Practically all the land now avalla ble Is In the arid belt, and Is to be brot under cultivation only by Irrl gallon, which makes the first cost of the farm lands almost as high per acre as Is land In the older agricul tural districts. It Is asserted by ths experts of the department that the waste upon American farms Is prodigious. Special attention must be paid to the economics of production If the In dustry of agriculture Is to be accom panied by profitable returns, without such rapidly Increasing cost of farm staples ns to become a serious burden upon the consuming public. Much attention Is paid to plans for saving in the cost of distributing sta ple commodities, by efforts at holding down transportation rates, nnd it Is the opinion of the government experts that some material rezulul may bo ob tained by more careful attention on the part of the American farmer to economy In production.

Idaho Sheep King Sells Out. 1 It has Just come to light that Chris Theissen has disposed of all his sheep holdings to British Columbia and North Yakima parties. It seems that some time tigo Mr. Theissen sold to J. DeHnven, rep rezenting the Pat Burns company of British Columbia. 6000 head, that he has been making deliveries on the same at different times and that the Inst delivery, amounting to 2000 head, was made a few days ago. About the 17th of this month Mr. Thomson sold to M. Berg of North Yakima the bulk of his holdings, about 12.000 head. Out of nil his vast flocks Mr. Theissen has only one buck left to remind him of his former days as one of Idaho's sheep kings. Lewis ton Tribune.
