Should anyone doubt their truthfulness they are Invited to write to those whose names appear or ths : mayors of the cities mentioned. C. S. Ternennine has let the con- tract to L. Duulap for the erection of a modern dwelling to cost In the neighborhood of $2500, and to be lo cated at 518 Tustin street, rendition. A new city hall to cost $35,000 Is now in the course of construction. A $70,000 federal building Is now a certainty. The Pendleton Wool Scouring plant has opened with a rush, the entire plant running night and day. Negotiations are about completed by the Racine Woolen mills company for the purchase of the Pendleton Woolen mills, which they will make their western headquarters, expect ing to employ 200 skilled operatives. Including a large clerical force. E. J. Murphy of Portland has pur chased several alfalfa crops, leased much land and will Install a $20,000 : alfalfa meal plant at Echo. The Henrietta flouring mills at the same place are to be opened up and run to full capactly. In Just the time it ook a commit tee to call on 44 busines men, $830 was subscribed to aid the Pendleton baseball team. The list was headed by tx-Mayor W. F. Matlock, owner of the Hotel Pendleton building, in which a saloon is located, who subscribed an even $100. Negotiations for the location of a broom factory at Pendleton are now under way, which heretofore was im posible owing to the excessively high rents. It will create a home market for the excellent broom corn raised In the Athena and Freewater dis tricts. The Pendleton Auto company has just purchaseda carload of autos for Umatilla county trade. The school board Is now having erected a new iron fence t ru round the high school block. The Freewater fruit cannery has opened for the season's run and as soon as the crops mature will place a full crew of workers on duty.

A few other industries, now In em bryo, could be cited, but the above are sufficient for the purposes of this atricle. But this is not all. Immediately after the result of the election became known a party of Pendleton's leading business men, started on a tour of the county to solicit funds for the advertising of .the entire county, and at every stop were enthusiastically greeted and the 'first town or city is yet to be heard from which will not subscribe to the fund for a greater Umatilla. That the indomitable "Pendleton spirit" which has characterized the forward march of that city and made the name Pendleton Frnonymous with all that goes to make a bustling city is again manifesting itself in thi crisis If such it can be called the same us its progressive business men have met all other crises in the ast shows the calibre of Its people and display of fortitude equalled in very few other places having the limited resources Immediately surrounding the city and the keen competition with other cities, as Pendleton has with Walla Walla, to hold her prestige as a distributing point That her people believe and the people of the entire county, for that matter that.

Take Hall's Family I'll is for constipa tion. An unknown and evidently Insane man attempted to murder an aged couple, Mr, and Mrs. Theodore Pflugmacher, near Tacoma, Saturday night. A tight coll of hair on the woman's head stopped the force of the bullet Intended for her' and saved her from instant death. The two shots fired at her husband went wild. Elmer Alqulmlst, aged 14, acci dentally shot himself through the lung with a 22 calibre rifle a few days ago and died within a few hours without being able to tell how the accident curred.

President Roosevelt has said that If it would help matters at all, he would cheer fully walk on his hands und knees fwom the White House to the capltol to see William Howard Taft Inaugur ated presdlent of the United States. Senator, who would like to prevent the consummation of that event, has declared that no one could meet Taft and not love him as a man. There must be something wonder fully pleasing In a man's personality to evoke such expressions from two such diverse sources. And there Is. Genial, whole-souled, happy, hearty big "Bill" Taft, as he is known to his intimates, attracts men io him as irresitibly as the mag net does the steel. One of the biggest men In the country, physically, Taft Is six feet tall and weighs 2S0 pounds. His shoulders are so broad and his frame so big that he carries his weight without giving the appearance of a fat man In the ordinary sense. Bubbling Over Willi Humor. Bubbling over with good nature, with laughter ever ready to his lips, Taft Is, nevertheless, the personifica tion of dignity and firmness. Con vinced of the wisdom and justice of a certain line of action, no one, not even. President Roosevelt himself, is more aggressive and courageous in pursuit of his object. Taft Is his own master. No great er mistake could be made than to assume that. If elected president, he would be under the domination of any man, In the mapping out of the great policies of the Roosevelt ad ministration no one has 'been more freely consulted than Taft. and no one has been more free to criticise the president when criticism seemed just. Roosevelt Is not a lawyer. Taft is. Sympathizing heartily with the presi dent's purposes, Taft has Used his le gal training to shape Roosevelt's Ideas Into practical form. The abilities of the one have complimented those of the other, with the result that a trreat work has been accomplished for the people. Temperamentally they are almost opposing. It would be difficult to conceive of Taft forming classes of "Hats." "malefactors of great wealth." or "nature, fakirs." He has not the phrase-making capacity of Roosevelt, but he can be none the less visorous in denuuciatlon of wrong. He does not believe that epithets are necessary to make speech strong and Incisive. Where Roosevlt Is impetu ous and sometimes has to change front with great suddenness. Taft's legal training makes him deliberate, judicial aad once convinced, un yielding. I rank- mid I'luv'rvod. No man In public life Is more frank and unreserved In his intercourse wl;h newspaper men than Taft. He goes on tlie theory that the public has a right to know about the ad piinstration of the war department, and he tak's the correspondents Into his confidence" but lie reserves the rlu'ht to deride- when the proper tinu has arrived for publication of the fwK Ho plays no favorites, but when Taft says "no" there Is a final ity about It which N generally arcep't- e i. i n one orcasoin, however, a corespondent persisted in asking lead ing questions on a subject upon which the secretary had said he could no speak. Taft's face lost i's smile, the kindly gray eyes developed a steely L'lltter, and suddenly the storm broke He declared tliat he was not to ht nunyraggeil Into answering ques tions that he did not want to answer and gave the unhappy newspapei man such n raking down before al of his colleagues, as he had probably never had before. It was such a sur prise coming from Taft that for i few moments no one uttered a word men, just as suddenly, the storm cleared. Jumping up, Taft put his arm nround the shoulder of the cor respondent and In the most affection ate manner apologized frankly for his outburst of temper. Taft Is a hard but cheerful worker. He gets up early and does a lot of work at his home before going to the department at '9:30 or 10 o'clock. He usually finds his desk there piled up with papers awaiting his attention, and he keeps thre stenographers busy all day disposing of them. He seldom leaves until 6 o'clock and frequently works late Into the night. Has Many Culler. Yet In the midst of all this he finds time to receive many callers. He has the happy faculty of putting visitors Immediately at their ease, and when Taft says that he Is glad to see you he makes you feel that he really means It and that It Is something more than the perfunctory greeting usual ly handed out by public men. Nothing In the line of work seems to fease him. He Is Just as ready to pack his grip on a few hours' notice to start for Rome, Havana, Panama or Manila, as he Is to take up the question whether the middle span of a bridge over a certain navigable stream should be 43 or 62 feet high. An extraordinary variety of work has fallen to his lot since he left the position of United States circuit Judge In Ohio, upon the earnest solici tation of President McKlnley, to cross the seas and become governor of the Philippines. It was a sense of patriotic duty that led him to accept that office, and it was that same Impelling power that caused him to throw himself heart and soul into the work. So Intersted did he become in his Filipino charges that when Root resigned as head of the war department and Taft was drafted to succeed him, he insisted upon keeping supervisory charge over the people whose affections he had won and whose aspirations and. limi tations he so well knew. After being engaged in the paclfl- cation of savages he was now con fronted with the problems of warfare and schemes of uttuck and defense; then congress loaded onto the war de partment the task of building the Panama canal. Taft assumed this, with other burdens with entire equan imity. When the Punumans beeumo restive and fancied grelvunces arose between the United Slates goVern meiit of the Cuual zone and the nowly established republic, Tuft went him self and, with Infinite tact, and with an apparantly Intuitive realization of South American character, adjusted the differences and won the , confi dence and regard of the new allies of the United States. It would seem- that the Philippines and the Panama canal with their many Intricate details were of them selves enough to fully occupy tlio tlmo of one man. Yet when President Palina's government In Cuba fell to pieces It was Taft who was called up on to perform the work of reorgan ization. It was Taft who went to Rome on the delicate mission of ad justing the largo claims of the Roman Catholic church for the property taken from It In the Philippines, and he succeded so admirably that tho au thorities of Rome and the United States, and the Filipinos themselves, applauded his accomplishment. Sat o tho Lid. When the controversy arose be tween liowen, the American minister to Venezuela, and Loornis, the aslst ant secretary of state. It was Taft acting at the time as secretary of both state and war as well as "sit- L ting on the lid" for tho absent presl- dent who conducted the luvestlga-i tion and rendered judgment. The fl- naiulal rehabilitation of .Santo Do. tningo was also worked out under his supervision. With nil of these multifarious re sponsibilities put upon him ho yet finds time to attend to the thousand and one details of the business of the war department. Of course ho has able nslstants But It Is a fact that no Important paper Issues from the war department which has not receiv ed the careful personal attention of the secrteary. No matter how volu minous the records In the case, Taft insists upon going through them un til satisfied that he has a thoropgh understanding. With a marvellous faculty for the quick assimilation ot facts he reaches a decision rapidly and It Is seldom Indeed that he has' to revise a Judgment. In the consid eration of court martial rases he Is especially careful and not Infrequent ly tempers Justice with mercy. Of one thing, however, he Is Intol erant, and that Is deceit. Reviewing one day the case of an officer con demned to dismissal from the army, and disposed to be lenient with him for the sake of his family, Taft went '.hrough the records. Suddenly, throw ing them aside, he remarked: "Ah, but hi" lied nbout It." and proceeded to approve the court martial dcree. l Intel st. ;ir;:o-. F. A. Dapper. lone; O. R. Rail. Poitland; A. H. Moore.

The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography has a number of let ters by Roger Atkinson, a Virginia planter, who came from Cumberland, England, about 1750 and settled near Petersburg. To his brother-ln-luw, Samuel Pleasant of Philadelphia, be writes in October, 1774, concerning Vir ginia's recently appointed seven dele gates to the first Philadelphia congress.

FLOATING IN THE AIR. The mpres.ion on Ascending In a Free Balloon.
