MISS BARKEh IS
COUNTRY MOI
ECHO TEACHEIl RETURN'S
FROM EASTERN TRIP
Likes the Sage Brush Best Success
ful Contestant Tells of Trip
Through Ea In Advertising Uma
tllla County Found Great Interest
In Western Country.
Eastern cities have but few attrac
tions for Miss Beulah Barker of
Echo, as against the sage brush
country of the west end of Umatilla
county, and that young lady, who is
visiting Pendleton friends after an
extended trip through the east as the
representative of this county in the
trip given by Phillip S. Bates of the
Pacific Northwest as a reward for
subscription efforts for that maga-'
zine, declared this morning that she
was perfectly contented to remain
a country mouse.
As the young lady had the misfor
tune to see one man killed and an-
other horribly mangled by street cars
in New York city, she hesitates to!
consider herself "city broke" and'
frankly admit that her western
spirit is likely to shy at the cars. I
Miss Barker and her companions
visited Salt Lake city, Denver, Kan-J
sas City, St. Louis, Washington, Phil-!
adelphla, Boston, New York, Niagara !
Falls, Chicago and Minneapolis and j
St. Paul, swinging around the circle
will all the ardor of a presidential J
candidate. In each of the places the(
young lady distributed such litera
ture regarding Umatilla county as
she was supplied with mostly re
garding the irrigated districts of the
wtst end. She found a great Interest
In the west among eastern people, but
but was convinced that Oregon did
not receive the credit due.
Miss Barker has the highest prise
for her trip, and her treatment
among the eastern people. She re
grets that inability to secure a great
er portion of literature regarding her
home county prevented a wider dis
semination of Its possibilities at the
points included in her trip.
Although a visitor in the heart of
Yankee land, Miss Barker found
eastern astuteness most marked In
her visit at Washington, D. C. In
that city the guide pointed out to the
party the house which William How
ard Taft would occupy next year. In
order not to offend any political pre
judices that worthy also exhibKed to
the home which would house Wil
liam Jennings Bryan. Neither edifice
was the White House, which leads
Miss Barker to think that Chafln may
be the winner.

AGED MOTHER IS DEAD.
H. .1. Ijvtonrelle Receives Sad News
live Generations Living.
H. J. Latourelle of the Hotel St.
Geotfee, and brother-in-law of
George Darveau, received a message
this morning announcing the sudden
death of his mother, Mrs. Henry D.
Latourelle at Keeserville, New York.
She was found dead and as she was 81
years of age It Is presumed she ex
pired from troubles due to extreme
age.
The Latourelle family of which the
deceased was one of the oldest living
representatives, was remarkable from
the fact that people representing five
generations are now living. As the
deceased Is survived by some brothers
and sisters this situation still exists.

IIARRIMAX FEARS FOR
OLD GENERAL APATHY.
New York, Sept. 15. That old Gen
eral Apathy will take a hand In the
present campaign and that republi
can success will be endangered there
by Is the fear of E. H. Harrtman ex
pressed today when tho. railroad mag
nate declared that he had found but
slight Interest, In the political situa
tion during his' visit In the west. Har
riman with usual willingness turned
the subject to politics when asked

Maine Fire Doc Damage.
Saco, Me., Sept. 15. The worst fire
In Maine since the million dollar con
flagration destroyed Portland, early
today wiped out a large aectlon of
this city. The damage Is half a mil
lion. Six hundred are homeless.
Elghtyflve tenement houses were de
stroyed. It Is estimated that 9,000,
000 feet of Jumber have been destroy
ed. The fire made strong headway
before discovered.
Practically the whole poorer part
of the city In wiped out. There Is
grea suffering. A relief fund has
been raised.
One of the most important positions
in the state Is tha held by President
W. J. Kerr of the Oregon Agrlcultu-
ral college, who was here Saturday
and Sunday with the experiment sta
tion party. As president of O. A. C.
Dr. Kerr Is the head of the largest
educational Institution In the state
and In the opinion of many the most
Important. The value of the experi
ment station work, which he directs,
cannot be overestimated.
Though the courses at O. A. C. are
not as high, along literary and cla
sical lines as those at the university,
they are more practical. Aside from
supplying students with a general ed
ucation the course also gives them
special training so that upon gradua
tion students may commence actual
work in such lines as civil, electrical
and mechanical engineering, agricul
ture, pharmacy, business and for nu
merous positions In the government
service, especially with the depart
ment of agriculture.
In view of these things and the
large number of students In the
school. President Kerr Is virtually the
leader of those who In later years are
to constitute the Industrial and busi
ness life of the state.
Last year the enrollment at O. A.
C. was slightly over 1100. and this
year President Kerr Is expecting an
attendance of between 1200 and 1400.
Should the attendance Increase at the
ratio it has been Increasing during
the past few years the enrollment will
shortly reach the 2fi00 mark.
New- Buildings Needed.
As a result of the great growth O.
A. C. his undergone the present
buildings have become Inadequate and
the regents are now wondering how
to accommodate the throng. The
present administration building Is re
garded as entirely too small and the
college chapel, where student assem
blies should be held. Is able to hold
only one-third of the students. Con
sequently assembly Is held once each
week in the armory which has to be
fitted out with temporary seats each
time. The armory larK
enough only for one-third the cadet
regiment.
But while new buildings are Imper
ative and an appropriation will be
asked of the legislature this winter.
President Kerr says that It will be the
policy of the school to be conserva
tive In Its requests. Accordingly It
will ask only for what Is absolutely
essential and rely upon securing fur
ther appropriations in the future.
The F.xMTlmental Station.
The state experiment station Is op
erated In conjunction with the college
by an experiment station board of
which the president Is director. Most
of the science men In the faculty are
members of the board and aid In Its
work. However, their salaries art.
not paid from the experiment station
fund. An annual sum is paid by the
United States government for main
taining the station, which does a vast
amount of work. Informing the farm
