PILOT ROCK EDITOR
CONTINUES HIS WORK.
Standard of the Editorial Pago of the
Pilot Roek Record Is Maintained,
Although Its Editor Is Confined in
Umatilla County Jail To Many
Writers Good Work Would Do Im
possible In Such Surroundings.
Perhaps the first and only editori
als ever written in a Jail in eastern
Oregon are. now written by Editor
John P. MeManus for his Pilot Rock
Record, while confined In the Umatil
la county jail awaiting trial for shoot
ing Bob Estes In this city some time
ago.
Mr. MeManus, while not able to per
sonally direct his paper, writes the
editorial in jail and that his ability
as an editorial writer has not been
Impaired by his surroundings Is
shown In the character of the editor
ials written by Mr. MeManus In his
confinement.
To many people who do excellent
editorial work ordinarily, It would be
utterly impossible to do any meri
torious work in such surroundings,
where a dozen noisy prisoners were
performing all kinds of stunts to drive
away ennui, homesickness and lone
liness.
But to MeManus the task presents
little or no smbarrassment and the
standard of the Pilot Rock Record's
editorial page is maintained, although
Pilot Rock is not the abiding place
of its ruling spirit.
Prof. Harrison Arrives.

ed and Conductor H. C. Orady and

are now on thir way to Chicago as

vision of the O. R. N., carrying to
the conference In Chlcagi the sealed
verdict of the men on this division
of the 0. R. & N. system.
While nothing is known of trie

men on the O. R. & N., the strike
has not been ordered, although the
brotherhoods may have voted to sus
tiln the brotherhood demands In or
der to convince the railroad man
agers of the strength and unanimity
of the brotherhoods.
A dispatch from Omaha, gives an
interview with Conductor , Grady on
the subject as follows
That the trainmen and conductors
have never for one moment consid
ered seilously calling a strike Is the
gist of answers given to questions to
day by H. C. Grady, chairman of the
Conductors' Union . of the Ogden
Railroad c Navigation company,
who is here on his way to the Chi
cago conference.
"The report that we tire going to
strike," he Buld, "is all bosh. There
never has been a majority of strike
voters during the taking of the ref
erendum vote, which is now about
concluded. My personal opinion is
the miller will not even have to go
so far as to be suhmitted to arbitra
tion. "The muln question at issue was
whether the conductors should re
ceive the flat 110 a month raise of
fered by the roads In lieu of the per
centage Increase they demanded. I
think at the coming conference the
conductors will get the percentage
scale, but with a slight reduction
from what was originally asked."
Mr. Grady spoke freely of the help
the conductors had received from
Vice-President Mohler, of the Union
Pacific, who represented the Harrl
man lines. Mr. Mohler, Mr. Grady
declared, was one of the few real
friends the trainmen had nt the conference.

Largo Sale of Mules.
J. D. McKennon today delivered 40
head of young mules which he sold to
a' Walla Walla buyer, who wl) sel
them to the farmers of that section
of the country, says the La Grande
Observer. It was a novel sight to see
the band of 40 head passing through
the streets this afternoon on their way
to the corrals. This Is undoubtedly
the largest sale of mules ever made In
the county by one man, and the price
received, $5000, shows that there Is
money In raising mules. Most of these
animals were S years old and the band
averaged J126 per nead. Most of the
animals were raised by Messrs. Mc
Kennon & Leadbetter, only a few be
ing purchased.
