been appointed by the court as attor

On Monday Mrs. C. H. Walters of
Weston, was to hnve been tried for

served out after the 60 dnys of parole
had expired. The motion was granted
by Judge Bean nnd the three Sams

Has Not Been Seen or Heard From

that nothing has been heard of him

has merely extended his visit and neg
lected to write.
The missing man Is a member of

Samples Analyzed.
S. B. Nelll of Camas Prairie, has
discovered deposits of unknown extent
upon his place, of a substance called
"chnlk" and magnesia. It was uncov

In nn Irregular ledge over which the
tree grow in the surface soil, The
mineral Itself Is as light as pumice
stone, nearly white, but with a brownish-yellow

as that of a cake of pressed flour of
the highest grade.
Mr. Nell will send away samples
for analysis and Identification, per
haps to tho State university and the
State Agricultural college. The pieces
torn out by the uprooted tree were all
the way in size from a grain of corn
to as large as a tea kettle, and appar
ently were broken or torn off a con
tlnuous body of the same material.

PENDLETON EAIR
T
TEUTSCH COMPARES WITO
OTHERS IN THE NORTHWEST.
Neither Walla Walla Nor Leivlston
Were as Successful In tho Same
Sense as the Third Oregon District
Fair The Racing Was the Prl
ninry Attraction Elsewhere, and
Otherwise They Were Not so At
tractive.
After having attended the fairs at
Walla Walla, Spokane and Lewlston,
Lee Teutsch, of the local fair com
mission, has returned well satisfied
with the comparison between those
gatherings and the one recently held
here. While the Wnlla Walla, Spo.
kane and Lewlston fairs were larger
than ours, he declares that In many
ways the Umatilla-Morrow fair was
more satisfactory.
"At none of the three fairs which
we visited did the people have as en
joyable a time socially as they did in
Fendleton. At all three places the
racing was the big attraction, and it
overshadowed the other features of
the fair. It cost more to attend their
fairs and generally the grounds were
so remotely situated that attendance
wns inconvenient. At Spokane there
was always a wild rush for tho street
cars ns soon as the races were over.
In Lewlston the grounds are on the
Clnrkston side, and the fair was not
open in the evening at all, as there
arc no electric lights In that section
of the city. The bands at Spokane
and Lewlston were far from being as
good as the one we had, though In this
regard Walla Walla fnred better, as
they also had De Caprlo.
"While the races draw certain
classes of outside people to a fair, it
requires much more money to handle
a fair where they have them, and for
Pendleton I believe it would be better
to leave them out. We can have a
good fair without them by enlarging
our pavilion and arranging for more
attractions next time."
ERROR AS TO PRICE OF HOGS.
Under No Clrcnmstnnces Is 0 Cents
Paid for Hogs.
Local purchasers of meat on the
hoof call attention to a glaring but
perhaps unintentional error which ap
peared In a recent Issue of the morn
ing paper, stating that fnt hogs were
bringing. In this place, delivered. 9
cents per pound. Buyers stato that
under no circumstances nro live hogs
bringing more than 1. cents, and
when that figure is paid It Is for some
especial reason known only to the
parties to the transaction. Tho top
of the regulnr market is 7 cents, and
many fine hogs are selling and being
contracted for now, so says H. W.
Sehwnrz of Schwarz & Grcullch, at
6 cents.

SPENCER CAME ITIROUGn. ,
Man Who Appropriated Jerry St. Den
nls Whisky and Barley.
John Spencer "came through" all
right, says the Athena Press. Yester
day he came Into Justice Chamber
lain's office without official escort
and gave himself up. He did this of
his own accord and free will, though
It is said Officer Smith hnd been hunt
ing him with lantern at night and
once got closo enough to his where
abouts to capture his hat.
Spencer's trouble began Monday
night. He was drunk, and meeting
Jerry St. Dennis In the same condi
tion on the road south of town, ho
held St. Dennis up and relieved him
of a bottle of whisky nnd three sacks
of barley. It Is presumed that if St.
Dennis had had a load of hay In his
possession at the time, Spencer would
hnve made n houl at that, too. He
took the barley to Bushman's place.
The grain is there yet, but the sup
position is that Mr. Spencer drank the
whisky.
Yesterday St. Dennis was in no
condition to appear In court against
Spencer, .and Justice Chamberlain let
him go on his own recognizance until
further notice.
