THE COUNT! PRESS
That the tireless efforts of the
county fair commlBHlon, the donation
of the county court and the work of
tho people In general In organizing
and making the Umatilla-Morrow
county fair a success are highly ap
preciated, ItT shown by the'' following
symposium of comment on .the fair
from tho imperii, of the county. The
following extracts are tnken from a
portion of tho county piipers, others

Wetrton Leader.
The Umntllla-Morrow district fair
at Pendleton should be visited by
every ressldent f both counties who
hns the time at his disposal. 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.

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.

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

The first annual fair at Pendleton
has been a grand 'success. The ex
hibits in euch division were all that
could be expected, and the attendance
each day and evening at the pavilion
was very large. The officers of the
fair association are to be compliment

Death by electrocution will hereaf

Spokane, says a dispatch from that

roam the street wlthou an owner are
shot. The humane society has been
considering the matter for some time
and expects to begin the new systom

ROASTS MARK TWAIN.
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."
