PENDLETON 10 PLAY
GARDEN CITY SUNDAY
Pendleton and Walla Walla base
ball teams are to meet on the dia
mond next Sunday in this city or the
first battle of the season between these
two cities. That it will be a game
worth seeing, there is not the least
doubt in the minds of the fans of both
cities.
Though Pendleton ended second in
the race for the championship of the
Blue Mountain league, no one believes
for a minute that the Weston team is
in the same class with, Pendleton. On
the other band Walla Walla also has
a good aggregation in Bade's Mix
tures. The Garden city fans are anxious
to duplicate last season's victories
over the Pendleton aggregation and
for that reason two extra coaches
will be attached to the regular morn
ing train in order to accommodate the
excursion crowd which is coming over.
Sturgis will probably be in the box
for Pendleton, while Harlan will play
short. Baker, the mighty sticker
will hold down the first station, while
Ward will be behind the bat and the
remainder of the team will be about
as usual.
STATISTICS ON" PUODICTIOX
OF WEALTH PRODUCERS
Washington. A bulletin Just Issued
by the bureau of the census on cot
ton production for 1909 In the United
States shows that the value of the
cotton crop for that year was about
one-half that of the corn crop; was
nearly $100,000,000 more than that

of the wheat crop, and was twice the
value of the oat crop.
It is pointed out that the world's
production of gold in 1909 was the
greatest ever produced, $460,000,000,
and this amount is but slightly more
than half the value of the American
cotton crop for last year, and that
the total building expenditures for
1909 in 105 cities of the United
States, which amounted to $857,530,
669 was only $45,600,000 more than
the value of the cotton production for
a like period.
Cotton growers are becoming an
nually more efficient ana successful
in subduing and holding in check the
ravages of the boll weevil through
following the instructions through
the national and state departments of
agriculture. The bulletin says. In
vestigations by the former have prov
ed that, through a more careful se
lection of seeds for planting and bet
ter methods of cultivation, the ma
turing crop can be so hastened by
the use of commercial fertilizers and
cultural methods as to develop a large
percentage of the crop before the
weevil has so multiplied as to mate
rially damage it.
The most effective check for the
pest 8 dry weather. The damage
from it is practically In proportion to
the precipitation. The greatest ad
vance in boll-weevil ravages in 1909
was that of 120 miles in southeastern
Mississippi, but the insect failed ma
terially to extend its range in to the
Yazoo river valley. In Oklahoma the
greatest advance was only 30 miles,
while the average was only 10 miles.
The bulletin further says that the
L'nited States in 1909 contributed
59.6 per cent of the commercial cot
ton; British India, 21.8 per cent;
Egypt 5.6 per cent; and Russia, 4.3
per cent.
The world's production in 1909
amounted to about 8.270,000,000.
pounds, valued at about $1,000,000,000.

stituencies represented by O'Brien
malcontent.

more than three or four seats . at
most, and it is regarded as well with
in the line of possibility that both O'
Brien and his lieutenant, Timothy
Healy. will be defeated.
Bishop O'Donnell said recently:
"I do not remember any time when
the country was more united in sup
port of the. Irish party than it is at
present; neither was there any time
when that support was better de
served." POST OFFICE RECEIPTS

MARSHALL, MO., WAS DRY.
EMI'IiOYERS DISCUSSING
' GARMENT WORKERS' STRIKE
New York, July 8. Employers of
the garment workers, 60,000 of whom
struck' yesterday, ere holding a con
ference' this afternoon to decide on a
course of action. The strike Is the
largest here for several yean and
promises to get bigger. Unless the
garment workers received a favorable
action to their demands It Is believed
that 10,000 sympathizers will Join.
The employers are divided. Some
want to arbitrate, but most seemingly
rather would fight. - j
But the St. Louis Drummers' Delega
tion Came to the Rescue.
When the state executive commit
tee of the United Commercial Travel
ers chose Marshall, Mo., as the place
for the annual state convention, ap
parently they didn't know the citizens
of Marshall some time previously had
gone to the polls with their little white
ballots and returned a verdict against
J. Barleycorn. ,
But when the delegates reached
Marshall the other day they were con
fronted by the melancholy intelligence.
Whereupon some of them were In fa
vor of postponing the convention.
Down to St. Louis, however, the bad
news traveled on Mercurial wings.
And when the St. Louis delegation
reached Marshall they brought along
two carloads of the product that has
made St. Louis renowned the country
over.
Naturally, thhe W. C. T. U. had a
meeting when It heard of It. But the
St. Louis delegates had a meeting first
and distributed the two carloads in
question among several other car
loads of delegates before the product
could be seized. Considering it dis
courteous to search Its guests, Mar
shall dropped the matter. And nobody
died of thirst.
But it was said by "drummers' re
turning to Kansas City from Marshall
that a list of towns available for fu
ture meetings Is being prepared for
the guidance of the state commit

KAISER SEEMS TO
BE COSTLY LUXURY
Berlin. It is being discovered In
Germany that the kaiser is an expen
sive institution to keep up. A comparison-
shows that every man, wo
man and child In Prussia contributes
on an average of 20 cents per year
for the upkeep of the kaiser, which
Is nearly three times as much as Eng
land pays for the maintenance of
her royal family, five times as much
as the Russians pay for theirs and
more than twice as much as the Aus
trlans have to provide.
Compared with these prices re
publics are "dirt cheap," for the pres
ident of France only costs each
Frenchman a trifle over 1-2 cent a
year, while Americans only pay about
l-96th cent apiece for their president
and expect to get a first-clans article,
too.
During a debate In the diet on the
proposal to increase the kaiser's
"civil list," otherwise his Income,
Herr Hoffman analyzed the latter and
made out that it amounted to 36 cents
a second. To this principle, how
ever, Herr Hoffman objected, com
plaining that the wearer of the crown
was often absent and suggested that
the principle of "payment by attend
ance," should be applied. This Idea
of putting the kaiser "on piece work"
so to speak, is a decidedly novel one.
CARUSO GIVES 5000
FRANCES TO CHARITY
Paris. Mme. la Contesse de Gref
fule recently Invited the golden-voiced
Caruso to sing for the benefit of a
poor school. The hall selected was
the Trocadero, which seats 10,000
r.- -?,in Tt In needless to sav that
every seat was filled and the lobbies
packed with people unaDie to ouy
seats.
When the concert was over the be
novntnnt ennntess found her charity
the richer by $13,000. She sent her
secretary with a letter of thanks to
Caruso. When he opened the enve
lope he found it contained 10,000
Without a moment's hesi
tation he took 6000 franees from his
nwn nocket. added It to the 10.000
which the countess had Inclosed, and
sent the whole back for the benefit
of the children for whom he had
sung.
This wm Indeed a mamlflcent Klft.
but Caruso says It was a privilege as
well as a pleasure to neip aiong so
worthy a work.
Ha mnrln llirht of his renerosltv: In.
deed, he refused to talk about It. but
there are several thousand poor waifs
In Paris who bless his name and will
never forget his kindness.
Caruso was very popular In Paris
before this concert. He has now be
come the lion of the -hour.
Count Zeppelin Is 71 years old, but
he can fly as fast and as far as if he
