GOING TO HER HOME.
Mr R. R. Myers, Formerly of Ba
ker City, In Pendleton Today on
Her Way to the North Went
North With Her Husband, Dr. R.
R. Myers, Formerly of Bilker City,
and Lores the Great North Ooun-try.
To travel 400 miles over Alaskan
Ice from Valdez to Fairbanks Is the
highly interest ng experience to be
enjoyed by Mrs. R. R. Myers of
Fairbanks, Alaska, who is a guest
of Hotel St. George today on her way
from her former home In Baker City
to the north.
Mrs. Myers Is the wife of Dr. R.
R. Myers formerly of Baker City
who went Into Fairbanks two years
ago to practice his profession and
prospect for gold. He has been high
ly successful In both and !s now per
manently located there.
Mrs. Myers will go In by way of
Valdez. the nearest coast point to
Fairbanks and from that place will
take a dog sled over the Alaskan Ice
and snow fields, over which she will
travel a distance of about 400 miles.
It will require from two to three
weeks to make that distance owing
to the weather and condition of the
trails.
She will have plenty of company on
the. long lonely Journey, however, as
the winter season is the favorite time
for making the trip and practically
all the business men and mining pro
moters come out to the United States
during the winter season.
She speaks entertainingly of Fair
banks and is delighted with life there.
Although it Is over 400 miles In the
Interior of Alaska they have two ex
cellent dally papers which receive all
the press dispatches. In winter they
receive outside mall twice each week
by sleds but during summer the mail
Is brought In but once in 10 days. All

taken to the fair pavilion by Mr.

up the rear of a livestock procession.

him. Without waiting for the con

nese new year lanterns and Mr. Rich
ardson was unable to stop him.
Breaking loose from his driver the
bull headed for the sidewalk and a
crowd started in pursuit One man
tried to stop him by stepping on the
dragging rope, but the rope was
Jerked from under him like a flash
and the man sat down upon the pave
ment. At the corner the bull him
self fell down and several rushed to
grab the rope. Getting up, the bull
started on his way, shaking off his
would-be captors like straw, and pro
ceeded on his way. A little later he
consented to be taken.

BEIjGIAX EXPOSITION IX 1910.
Will Give Amerleun Producers On
Mr1 unity to Place Good Advan
tapeonsly Before World.
Baron Moncheur, the Belgian min
ister at Washington, transmits copies
of a circular, containing information
concerning the general organization
of the Universal and International
exposition to be held at Brussels dur
ing the year 1910, beginning In April
and remaining open for at least six
months.
It Is further stated that the execu
tive committee has adopted the prin
ciple of division Into national sec
tions; that is to say, the grouping of
the works and produce of each coun
try In comblnat'on with the general
system of classification.
It Is believed that the Belgian ex
poslt'on of 1910 will afford an ex
cellent opportunity for American
producers to place their products ad
vantageously before the world. Every
international exposition in which
American goods are not adequately
represented has a tendency to cur
tail the sales of those goods in for
eign markets by Increasing the sales
of like goods produced by other
countries when the latter are proper
ly represented In the exposition.
This is true particularly In the case
of manufactured articles, but it Is
true also, to some extent, In the case
of manufactured articles, but It Is
true also, to some extent, In the case
of exports of meat products and fine
cereals. For example, Argentina's
exports of meat products to Europe
have increased materially within the
past two years, due partly to the ad
vert'sement they receive at the expo
sitions. South American cereals are
also steadily becoming better known
in Europe.
It is believed that the failure of
American- manufacturing Interests to
participate In the recent exhibition
at Milan haa been prejudlc'al to
American commercial Interests In
Italy. There Is a question, too, of the
maintenance of national prestige,
which has often an Influence com
mercially more far-reaching than Is
generally understood.
The value of total exports of Amer
ican merchandise to Belgium in the
last year was about $50,000,000, and
almost every line of manufacturing
Industry was - represented in those
exports.
Assurance is given that the neces
sary measures will be taken for pro
tecting In Belgium patentable Inven
tions, Industrial designs or models,
and manufacturing or trade-marks
appearing at the exhibition.
JURY COULD NOT
. REACH VERDICT
STOOD TWO FOR CONVICTION
AND TEN FOR- ACQl'ITTAL
Ilangii Cu.se MuM. lie Tried Over Be
cause Jurors I'll II to Agree aa to
Guilt or Innocence of Alleged
Thief Jury Was Out 30 Hours- .
Gosl of Triul Was Heavy Case
Will IV' Hoard Again at April Term.
Standing 10 to 2 in favor of ac
quittal the Jury in the case of Joseph
Haaga reported this morning that
they could not agree and they were
accordingly discharged by Judge
Bean. That Haaga will be retried,
probably at the April session, was an
nounced shortly afterwards by Dis
trict Attorney Phelps.
That the Haaga jury should fall
to agree caused but little surprise In
view of the fact that no verdict was
returned yesterday. But the fact
that it was hung by two holding out
for conviction racher than by one or
more obstinate ones for acquittal
created some astonishment.
Among most of those who had fol
Iwed the trial the belief existed that
the standing of the Jury was nearly
the reverse of what It proved to be.
Immediately after the discharge of
the jury the following statement of
the Jury's position was given to the
East Oregon by Foreman Wilder:
On the first ballot . six voted for
acquittal: five for conviction and one
blank. The second ballot stood nine
to three for acquittal. After that the
voting changed many times before it
settled down to 10 to 2 at noon yes
terday. At one time 11 men voted
for acquittal and on the following
ballot three went over to the other
side, making the vote 8 to 4. No
change occurred after 12 o'clock yes
terday noon.
F. M. Kent of Milton and William
Caldwell of this city, were the two
men who held out for a conviction,
though one of them cast his ballot
once for acquittal In hopes of ending
the deadlock.
When the Jury was discharged this
! morning U was after 39 hours of de
liberation. Before going into the Jury
room the 12 men listened to testi
mony for six days and one entire day
of argument. By reason of the many
witnesses called It has been an ex
pensive trial and this will have to be
again Incurred in April.

Good Crowd Sees Two Fast Games of
Basket Ball Work of Umpire In
Calling Fouls Does Not Meet With
Popular Accord Boys' Game Was
Marked With Considerable Rough
ness Locals Put np Fast Game
University Team Next.
By a score of 25 to 10 the high
school boys' basketball team won
from the La Grande Commercial club
last night while the local girls' team
lost to the La Grande girls by a
score of 12 to 10. The latter game
was an evenly contested game
throughout and was won by La
Grande on foul throws.
By calling countless fouls upon the
Pendleton girls the La Grande offi
cial gave the visiting foul throwing
many opportunities to roll up the
score and Incidentally he made him
self very unpopular with the audience.
The "double header" game opened
with the first half of the girls' game
and It proved an exciting go. At the
tnd of the half the score stood 8 to
8. In the second half the score was
tied for a time at 10 to 10 but when
It closed La Grande had two points
to its advantage.
During the girls' game scarcely a
field goal was thrown most of the
score on both sides being made on
fouls. The game was a rough one
throughout and was greatly marred
by the poor work of the visiting of
ficial. The game between the boys' teams
was also characterized by consider
able roughness and wrangling but in
spite of this it was an Interesting
match. From the start Pendleton led
the score and at no time was the
game in danger. Though the La
Grande players were older and larg
er they lacked the speed and team
work of the high school boys. ine
first half closed 12 to 5 and that rec
ord was duplicated In the second half.
Many fouls were thrown during the
boys' game also and In that work
Lester Means, foul thrower for Pen
dleton, outclassed his opponent.
University Next.
Next Friday evening the best game
of the season to be seen here will
occur when the high school teams
meet the five from the university "of

More Wheat Being Seeded.
J. B. Stanton of Nye. who is In the
city today to attend the sales days,
says that much more wheat than usu

good transportation afforded by the
Pilot Rock branch of the O. R. &
N. It is but eight miles from Pilot
Bock to Nye and farmers will raise
more grain of all kinds now. The
country around Nye Is adapted to
wheat raising and the present crop
is in excellent condition.

parties which are now enjoying fine
