In the great pavilion 'are assembled hundreds of Interesting things to see. Best of nil, they nro home products, and In . viewing them one feels porud that he lives In this particular part of Uncle Sam's vnst dominion. The Leader lucks space to enter Into a detailed description of the fnlr. Tt advises Its readers to lee It for themselves and assures them that they will be well repnld. Its success Is the more noteworthy for the reason that but few weeks were nt the disposal of the management. The thousand and one Vexatious details connected with an event of this magnitude were crowded Into so short a period of time that one marvels nt how much was nrcompllsht. The grand pavilion Is admirably located nnd presents a brilliant scene, especially nt night, when more than 1100 electric lights furnish Illumina tion. Do Onprln's hand Is the great card of the fnlr. nnd Its beautiful mu sic Is worth going mnny miles to hear. The Mllton-Freewater fruit district has the finest display from any spe cial locality, and Its large booth Is ad mirably arranged. Itesldes, It has made ' generous contributions to the Umatilla county exhibit. That favor ed region not only has the produce to show, but Is fortunute tn possessing the good offices of such nn expert ns o. It. rtnllou, whose skill In artistic arrangement Is shown In every detnll of the exhibit. Weston's booth Is not so creditable as It will be a year hence, although over 40 different kinds of produce nre shown. Athena has a nice display of Its chief product, flout", nnd of 80 bushel wheat. The State Normal school at Weston has 'an Interesting educational display In a dainty booth. Ailmia Press. Considering that It Is the first ex hibition given by the Third Knstcrn Oregon District Agricultural society, the Pendleton fair Is very much of a success. The exhibits of grain, fruits, live stock nnd poultry nre much better than one would suppose when the AND THE FAIR short time In which the displays were made up. Is considered. The Umatilla county exhibit,' of course, leads all others, for the reason that the best the county affords Is to be seen In It, Milton and Freewater comes next with a fine display of fruit and vegetables and Athena and Wes ton are creditably represented, tho not On such an extensive scale as Mil ton and Freewater. Athena's exhibit, which Is made by the Preston-Parton Milling company, eloquently appeals to fair visitor, who always stop to run their fingers through the plump grains of 60-bush-el wheat which is conveniently dis played In two opeh sacks. The flour and cereal display elicits favorable mention from all who see It. The livestock department Is one of the most prominent features of the fair. 'In It are to be sen some of the best stick In the northwest. Minor of Heppner, is there with his famous herd of Shorthorns, nnd near It Is quartered George Llnsner-g beautiful Herefords. A. C. Ruby's Imported stallions, the herd of jacks, Shetland ponies, hogs and sheep complete the livestock exhibit. Poultry is exhibited In profusion. Art has not been over looked, and one of the most attractive and Interesting exhibits Is that made by Major Lee Moorhouse, whose clever work with Indlnn pictures has made him nationally famous as a fo tografer. His booth 1b continually filled with people, all of whom ad mire his pictures and art collections of Indian relics. Milton Eagle. The Third Eastern Oregon District Agricultural fair, which Is being held at Pendleton this week, is proving to be a grand success. The attendance Is larger than the most sanguine hoped for and the exhibits of fruits, vegetables and livestock are excellent. In speaking of the Milton-Freewa-ter exhibit, the East Oregonian says: "The Milton and Freewater booth Is In charge of O. R. Ballou, the veteran fair man of that place. This Is the largest Space occupied by any exhib itor outside of Umatilla county, and has nn excellent exhibit of fruits, veg etables, grains, grosses and other horticultural and agr'cultural pro ducts. The booth. Is tastily arranged with vines, festoons of grape clusters and other refreshing dlsplnys and Is a most attractive and beautiful exhib it." Matt Mosgrove has his herd of Shetland ponies, numbering 11, on exhibition, and they are objects of much Interest Pilot Rock Record. There Is nothing lneking about the fair to make proud tho heart of every resident of Umatilla and Morrow counties when viewing the quantity and character of the exhibits.

Old Klcuiiihoiit Mun Says Humorist Hadn't Sense Kmif to Make a Pilot. William Massle. tho oldest pilot on the Mississippi river, who has Just demonstrated by bringing the steamer Lora, heavily laden with freight from St. Louis to Kansas City, that the old Missouri Is still a navigable stream, the same as It was 40 years ago, was tendered a reception today, says a St. Louis dispatch. Captain Massle has been on the river continually since he started out 60 years ago. He has known many characters famous In the west, some of whom have been long dead. He was sitting opposite "Wild Bill" Hlc kok the day "Bill" was killed, and the bullet that passed through Hlc kok's body, wounded Massle In the ai m. He did not think much of "Wild Bill," and purees that he got his Just, deserts. Captain Massle- remembers Mark Twain well, having first met him In '49. "Clemens was a tall, gawky fel low and stoop-shouldered,' said the old pilot. "He was the only man 1 ever knew what didn't have enough sense to become a pilot. He never was a pilot and never would be. If he lived to be 100 years old. He was scared to death In nine feet of water. He never took a boat out by himself, always had an older pilot with him, tho ho got his pilot's license. x "He used to make out reports of the pilot, Horace Blxby. He asked Blxby once what to sign on a report, and Blxby told him to Just sign them Mark Twain. Clemens used to send abbreviated reports to the St. Louis papers, signed Mark Twain. Then the New York Ledger got to using them. That's how Clemens got that name. I have read little of his writings, some of them about the Mississippi river. It don't Interest me. It seems foolish. I never had time for monkey business and dry Jokes anyhow." An Empire for the Homeseeker.
