Appeal to Business Men of Pendleton
for Aid In Enterprise Money Will
Be Raised Here for Tills Purpose If
Possible Pendleton Gets Consider
able Business From That Section-
Tills City Would Have Communica
tion With Tliat Country.
To raise 1400 for the extension of
the 'phone line from Ukinh to Fox
valley In Grant county, is wished by
people living In thnt section, and they
have appealed to the business men of
Pendleton for aid In the enterprise.
That the money should be freely
given is declared by those who are
Informed In the matter.
L. F. Reeslng Is the president of
the 'phone company, and not long
ago he was here for the purpose of
taking the matter up with the local
merchants. However, meeting was
Impossible at that time and Mr. Rees
Ing left the matter In the hands of
R. H. Wilcox. As soon as he can do
so Mr. Wilcox intends raising the
money here if poslsble.
"Pendleton gets considerable busi
ness from that section, and It Is In
creasing," declared he this morning.
If communication with this city were
better It would work to. the benefit of
our merchants and would also make
it much more convenient for the
Grant county people. Pendleton has
never done anything before for that
region, and we should help them in
this matter. In subscribing for stock
the people will not be giving away
their money, as a bonus for the line
can be made a paying thing and some
day It will be sold and the money re
funded." Mr. Reeslng. the promoter of the
phone line, lives at Rltter, and he
wishes the line extended from TJklah
to Long creek via R'tter. . The line
Is now as far out as Dale, and If It
can be taken on to Long Creek that
entire section will be provided with
'phone facilities connecting them with
Pendleton. At present the only con
nection Is via Heppner and the service
Is extremely poor.
"IT WAS AS LONG AS
Nelson and Humphreys Caught the
Rig Fish, But Lost Box.
This morning a small army of fish
ermen left for Bingham Springs and
vicinity to fish In the Umatilla. They
were attracted by the strong showing
made by Clark Nelson and William
Humphreys, who returned from there
yesterday morning. While fishing day
before yesterday the two anglers made
a haul that has been the envy of other
sportsmen. One of the fish, a silver
salmon, was 28 Inches long, while an
other, a Dolly Varden, measured 32
Inches and weighed three and a half
pounds. In the catch were 10 Dolly
Vardens weighing one and a half
pounds each.
Coming down on the stage from
Bingham Springs yesterday morning
the box containing the fish was lost
out of the boot and when Messrs. Nel
son and Humphreys arrived here with
out their fish they were made the vic
tims of many sad Jokes. However,
their box of fish arrived on No. 5
last night, and this morning the catch
was distributed among their friends
In order to dispel the belief that they
had been fishing and caught nothing.
MORROW COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
Compiled from La Issue of Heppner
Times.
O. E. Farnsworth last Saturday
sold all his sheep, consisting of about
3500 head, to C. A. Minor, stating as
his reason for selling that he did not
get the range allotted to him in the
Blue mountain national forest last
fall and was forced to sell for lack
of sufficient range.
The second wool sales at Heppner
have been postponed on account of
delay In shearing. The date will be
June 23 Instead of the 18th. Some
thing over 1,500,000 pounds were sold
at the first sales and there will prob
ably be about a million pounds for
the sales June 28.
The city council held a special ses
slon Monday evening to discuss Sun.
day closing of saloons. Two of the
Heppner saloons kept open doors last
Sunday and It was for this breach of
the law the special meeting was held.
The general sentiment of the coun
cllmen seemed to favor requiring the
saloons to strictly observe the law,
otherwise they are liable to lose their
licenses.
It is evident from a statement in
a Salem dispatch, published else
where in this Issue of the Times, that
the O. R. & N. will not lower the
present freight rates between Hepp
ner and Portland. Some weeks ago
a numerously vlgned petition was sent
to the state railway commission, ask
ing that they take up the matter of
equalizing freight rates between
Heppner and Portland with the O.
R. & N. company. The rates are now
higher between Portland and Hepp
ner than between Portland and Pen
dleton and the distance Is greater be
tween the latter points. Our people
asked that the rates be equalized
i
1
with those on the main line. The
commission took the matter up with
the company, but according to the
Salem diBpntch it appears that we
will not secure, the relict sought.
"GETS EV EN" ON -WALLA WALLA.
Silicon Man Who Was Fined Raises
Rent on City Offices.
From $25 pet month to 140 par
month Is the sensational jump made
in the price of office rents in the
buildings of A. Schwarz notice to
that effect having been given the
city council yesterday evening, says
the Wnlln Walla Union. The city
engineer and city treasurer hare of
fices In the Schwarz building, Fourth
street. ai:d after the first of July
Mr. Schwarz will expect the council
to "counh up" $40, where he has for
merly received hut .125.
The startling announcement of Mr.
Schwarz as made yesterday evening
nine like a penl of thunder from a
Washington sky, and for a full mo
ment members of the city council
were unable to comprehend the full
Import of the intelligence. Finally
Councilman Klrkman, with a naughty
little twinkle In his eye, rose to his
feet and moved that the matter be
referred to the city attorney, who
wos instructed to look Into Its le
gality. The action of Mr. Schwarz Is con
sidered In some sources to be an act
of retaliation because the council
some time ago revoked his liquor II-
censo ror the Fountain saloon, which
was kept open on Sunday In viola
tion of the Sunday closing ordinance.
Attorney BlanUford will file his an
swer with the council at next Tues
day evening's meeting.

SKETCH OF ANDREW 8. DRAPER.
Dr. Andrew S. Draper, commission
er of education of the state of New
York, and formerly president of the
University of Illinois, was born at
Westford, N. Y., June 21, 1848. His
father died when he was 8 years old,
and young Draper went with the fam
ily to Albany. His early education
was given htm In the public schools
and in the Albany academy. He then
took 3 course of law at Union college
and returned to Albany, where he en
tered the practice of his profession.
In this work he continued for nine
years, until President Arthur made
him one of a committee to Investigate
the Alabama claims. After spending
three years In the capital at this
work he returned to Albany and re
sumed the practice of law.
He was elected by the legislature
as superintendent of the school of
New York. As he had never had any
part In the superintendence of state
education, or In any educational work
whatever, his selection was opposed
by the people, who were greatly dis
pleased with the action of the legis
lature. But the good results he had
achieved before the end of his term
met with such hearty approval that
he was enthusiastically re-elected.
When the eight years of his service
were at an end he was called to be
superintendent of the public school
system of Cleveland. In 1804 he was
elected president of the University of
Illinois. Here he remained until 1904,
when he was elected first commission
er of education for New York.

Enormous Saving of Fuel.
An oil tank passed through the
city yesterday to be used at the port
age road to transport liquid fuel from
Celilo to Big Eddy. It Is the first
ever sent there. Much of the fuel so
carried will be used by the steamer
Relief, of the Open River Transpor
tation company's fleet, which will
begin service on the upper Colum
bia this week. Recently the Relief
was concerted Into an oil burner.
Last year she burned 3240 worth of
coal a week. It Is said a week's sup
ply of fuel oil will cost but 354. Thus
In a month there will be a saving of
3800 on the fuel bill, or 39600 a year.
Coal Is even dearer this year than
last, having risen in price from 88
to 310 a ton on the local market. On
that basis the company will save
more than 310,000 a year by con
verting the Relief Into an oil burner.
The Dalles Chronicle.
Frauds at Monte Carlo.
Paris, June 21. Monte Carlo has
been considerably stirred up by the
discovery of a series of exceedingly
clever frauds on the part' of employes
of the famous gambling casino. The
plan was for a confederate to' hand
to a croupier a 500 franc note for
change, and the croupier would give
him, Instead of 600 francs, 1000
francs. Of course the croupiers and
the banker of the table at which the
confederate presented his note were
necessarily In league, otherwise the
scheme could not have been worked.
The affairs of the casino are kept very
secret, and it is not known how much
the syndicate managed to steal, but
there is no doubt that the amount was
a very large one. All of those con
cerned have been expelled from the
principality.
Wed His Japanese) Nurse.
There Is quite a romance In the his
tory of Mr, and Mrs. L. B. Hurst,
who have arrived In Laramie with the
Intention of opening a Japanese bazar
here, says a Laramie dispatch. Hurst
was a resident of San Francisco sev
eral years ago, when he contracted a
malady which threatened his eye
sight. He needed a nurse, and a
dainty little Japanese maiden was
given the position. The gentle minis
trations of the girl to her , patient
quickly led to a Btrnng affection be
tween them,, and In course of time
they re married. Now Hurst Is al
mort blind, and his wife, who speaks
English fluently, attends to all of his
business.
Drunkenness, shlftlessness and
cheap variety shows are the three
chief causes of truancy given by Tru
