FARMERS WILL HOLD SERIES
OF SALES DAYS IN PENDLETON
The members of the local farmers'
union took an Important step at their
meeting Saturday afternoon when they
decided to revive the general sales day
play which proved so popular here two
years ago. They are going to hold
the first sale next Saturday after
noon at the fair pavilion in this city
and if it proves to be a success the
ales will be held regularly In the fu
ture. An experienced auctioneer, in the
person of Col. Elffort of Walla Walla,
has been secured to do the auction
eering and the management of the
sales will be under the direction of
Dr. W. R. Campbell and W. W. Har
rah as a special committee and James
Johns as clerk. All kinds of stock,
all kinds of farm Implements and
machinery and In fact everything that
anyone may have to sell, can be list
ed and sold to the highest bidder at
the time of the sale.
The success or failure of this first
ale will determine whether the plan
will be continued or abandoned. For
that reason the farmers and those liv
ing in the city who have anything to
ell are urged to list It this week, or
before Saturday at 1 o'clock with the
clerk. James Johns, who can be
found at the Hartman Abstract com-
chauffeur, garbed In regulation leath
er cap and duster, as though he had
come Into the house after the hurried
call and a run with his machine.
None of tho men noticed Under
wood. LIllls groaned and tugged fee
bly at the cords that bound him.
"Don't do It, Jack, please don't do
It," he pleaded.
Cudahy did not answer.
Rushing over to the trio, Under
wood addressed Cudahy.
"What does this mean?" he queried.
Docs Not Resist Arrest.
"He's ruined my home. He's ruin
ed my home," said Cudahy, turning to
the officer and making no attempt nt
resistance.
"You are under arrest," said the
officer.
"All right, I'll go with you, but let
me call my attorney before you take
me to the station," replied Cudahy,
calmly.
"Call your attorney and I'll get an
ambulance for this man," said the po
liceman. "Who is he?"
"It is Jere Llllls," Cudahy said over
his shoulder as he walked toward a
telephone.
After seeing that LlUls had started
to a hospital, the policeman took
Cudahy to the police station. The
packer gave a cash bond and was released.

t
pany's office. The question as to the
frequency of the sales will also be
settled next Saturday.
According to Mr. Harrah and Mr.
Campbell, the members of the com
mittee on arrangements, the sales day
play is a good thing for the city and
the farmers alike. They say the far
mer with one horse or one cow to
sell have just as good a market as
the man who has a hundred. It saves
the buyer the expense of making a
trip to the Country to see the owner
of certain stock and will therefore
put him in a position to pay more for
the stuff he buys. It will also draw
crowds of Intending purchasers and
those who have things to sell, to the
city to spend the day and do. their
trading.
For that reason the farmers will co
operate with each other and with the
business men of the city and endeavor
to make the proposition a permanent
affair for the city. When held two
years ago the plan proved very pop
ular, but through mistakes made on
account of lack of experience the
sales days were not a success flnan
dally and were therefore finally aban
doned. This time the management
will profit by former , mistakes and
hopesto make it a success from every
standpoint.

an underground cellar In which to

killed in a trnin accident of some kind
at Sacramento, California, yesterday,

by relatives. The remains are expect
ed to arrive here in a day or two and
will be taken to Pilot Rock for Inter

fields north of Pendleton eleven year
ago when he suddenly was seized with
an attack of the wanderlust and be

PLAN
E CELLAR TOO BRUTAL
the humane society will be Invoked
to put a stop to what they consider
a disgraceful proceeding.
The women say that if the dogs are
dumped promiscuously into a com
mon Inclosure that a continuous dog
fighting performance will result, that
the canines will tear themselves to
pieces and kill each other- Aside
from the fact that dogs to be re
deemed will thus be in danger of be-
I ing badly disfigured for life, the wo
men say this will be a most inhuman
way of dealing with the situation.
But believing that It Is not right
to criticise without being able to sug
gest a way to remedy the evil com
plained of, they recommend that a
house be built where the dogs could
be segregated and kept In box stalls
or chained up so thoy could not get
together. They say the extra expense
would be insignificant and that the
beneficial results accruing would
more than compensate for the extra
cost and trouble.
March 1 markes the commence
ment of the dog catching season and
it is probable that the recommenda
tions of the women will be acted up
on before that day arrives.
