Prominent Horticulturists and Agrl
culturlHta Address Assembly of
Vmntillu Ranchers Diversified
Farming Is Advocated As Better
for Farmers and Farms Than Ex
tensive Grain Growing Elaborate
Banquet Served.
Members of the Farmers Educa
tional & Co-operative Union from dif
ferent parts of Umatilla county gath
ered at the union hall In the Eagle
Woodman building today for one of
the most Interesting, successful and
profitable meetings held by the union
In this city. The most pleasant part
of the day's activities was the banquet
served by the lady members of the
union.
The long table was loaded to the
fullest capacity with the best the land
affords and served as only the "cooks"
of the union are capable of serving.
That these same cooks are experts
will be testified to by all of those
present. Chicken, cooked In most of
the ways known to chefs, salads of all
descriptions, cakes and plea and oth
er things disappeared like magic.
Preceding the banquet the members
of the union held a secret business
session and following the repast an
open meeting was held.
The principal speakers of the af
ternoon were J. L. De Moss of Wal
la Walla, Byron Hunter of Walla
Walla and H. Umburger of Moro.
De Moss Is not only one of tho best
known growers of frurt In the north
west but he has a national reputation
as an expert horticulturist. His re
marks were therefore listened to with
a great deal of Interest by the Uma
tilla county tillers of the soil who
were present.
Hunter and Umburger are both
government men from the department
of agriculture.
Hunter is agriculturist for the
southwestern part of Washington,
while Umburger Is In charge of the
experiment station at Moro.
Both of these men urged upon
their hearers the beneficial advantage
of diversified farming. They endeav
ored to convince the wheat growers
present that sooner or later It would
be encumbent upon them to think ol
growing something else besides wheat
If they hoped to retain the fertility
of the soil.
The speakers both declared that
It would be better for the farmer, his
sons and his farms, if the growers of
grain would leave more dollars in the
shape of soli fertility In the land and
cease trying to take the dollars from
the land so rapidly.
Among those who participated In
and were responsible for the success
of the banquet were Mr. and Mrs. F.
A. Slkes of Milton, Mr. and Mrs. C.
C. Connor of Helix, Mr. and Mrs.
George Carmlchael of Weston, Mr. and

HAWLEY WIMi BE NEXT
GOVERNOR OF IDAHO.
Boise, Nov. II. Latest re
turns indicate that Hawley,
democrat, was elected governor
over Governor Brady, republi
can, by eight to ten hundred.

attributes the result to the

railroads bitterly fought. A
wild scramble la on among ths
democratic offloe seekers as the
party Is In power for the first
time since 1811.

on the water wnijon and donned white
ribbons ns marks, of respect for the
thousands of ladles who have come
here from all parts of the United
States to take part In the thirty-seventh
national convention of the Wo
man's Christian Temperance Union. A
facetious dealer In liquid refresh
ments even displayed his hospitable
spirit by putting out a sign reading.
"Welcome, W. C. T. U." but his wit
was not appreciated, and the offend
ing Invitation was speedily removed.
Baltimore church women have
been preparing for months for the
Invasion of the temperance forces, and
all the reception arrangements today
went off without a hitch. The Lyric
theater has been engaged for the five
days the convention will be In ses
sion, and special speakers will discuss
temperance subjects In nearly all the
churches of the city tomorrow. Ex

PENDLETON LOSES
TO BAKER CITY
SCORE OF 3 TO 2 DECIDES
ANNUAL GRIDlTtON GAME
One of the Closest Scores and Hard
est Fought Contests In History of
Eastern Oregon Football Pendle
ton's Gains Not Consistent.
Pendleton high school's football
team went down to defeat by a score
of 3 to 2 yesterday afternoon on the
Baker City gridiron in what is con
sidered one of the closest matches
ever played between eastern Oregon
high school teams. Spectators say
Pendleton lost solely through her In
ability to boot the pigskin as far as
her opponents.
According to Pendletonlans who re
turned last night from the scene of
the disastrous conflict, the boys from
this city succeeded In carrying the
ball much further than did their op
ponents. Practically all of the game
was payed in Baker territory, but
whenever hard pressed the Baker
punter would apply his toe to the ball
and send it far out of danger.
Because of a wet field neither team
could successfully execute the for
ward pass, but the Pendleton boys
worked several trick plays for good
gains. Kimball got loose several
times for 25 yard runs, but the gains
of the big P. Sweaters wee not con
sistent enough to carry the ball over
for a touchdown.
Pendleton's score came in the first
quarter when the ball was punnted
to the Baker ten yard line. A Baker
player fumbled the catch and a Pen
dleton player, in attempting to pick
the ball up, booted it over the line
where a Baker man fell upon It, giv
ing a safety to the visitors- Baker
came back In the third quarter when
a goal from placement was executed
after the ball had been bucked down
the field within striking distance.
The officials of the game were Glen
Scott of Pendleton, formerly an Ore
gon player, and Cady of Baker, an
old time star of O. A. C.
Several of the team came back last
njght. while the remainder arrived
today.
An effort Is now being made to ar
range a game with a Portland team
or with Walla Walla high school for
Thanksgiving.
Racing at Emeryville.
Oakland. Cal., Nov. 12 With ihe
pick of the stables of the United
States and Canada entered, the win
ter race meeting of the New Califor
nia Jockey club opens most auspic
iously this afternoon at the Emery
ville track. In addition to the round
dozen of rich stake renewals, the
purse values in over-night events will
be liberally increased, and the horse
men are jubilant at the prospects.
Although the present meet will be
an undoubted success, there Is much
uneasiness about the future of racing
In California. The reform bug has
Invaded the Golden state and it is
likely that the next legislature will
put a ban on oral betting. There is
also a movement to banish bookmak
ers from the state, and to confine
betting activities to the pari-mutuel
system. It Is also possible that the
number of days of racing will bo lim
ited, according to the system of rac
ing supervision In vogue In Ken
tucky. Great Apple Show.
Spokane, Wash., Nov. It. At noon
today the last exhibits were received
for the third National Apple Show,
and the work of displaying the fruit
to the best advantage Is being pushed
rapidly. The show will open to the
public on Monday and continue
through the week.
M IS TO BE
CIRCUIT JUDGE?
Election of Bean to Supreme
Bench Leaves Vacancy to
Be Filled.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHELPS
IS FOREMOST CANDIDATE
Iu Case of I lis Appointment, Steiwer
Would Trobably Be Elevated to Of
fice of District Attorney Acting
Governor Bowerman Will Probably
Make Appointments Winter and
Ellis are Also Spoken of as Candi
dates. Who is to be the next circuit judge
of thesixth Judicial district and who
H to be the next prosecuting attor
ney? These are two questions which are
now foremost in the minds of local
political leaders as a result of the elec
tion of Circuit Judge H. J. Bean to
the supreme bench.
According to street rumor the law
firm of Phelps & Steiwer seems to be
in line to land both positions if it so
desires. It is generally understood
that Judge Bean will resign his pres
ent office Just before January first on
which day he will take the oath as a
member of the state supreme court.
It will then divolve upon Governor
Benson, or his substitute. Acting Gov.
crnor Jay Bowerman to name a suc
cessor. That the naming of this suc
cessor will not be left to West, the In
coming democrat is a foregone conclu
sion. It is also understood that District
Attorney Phelps can have the circuit
Judgeship for the asking. This is by
reason of the fact that Phelps was an
active supporter of the candidacy of
Bowerman in the primary as well as
the general campaign, whereas Win
ter, the other local republican candi
date was not an active supporter of
Bowerman during the primary strug
gle. Whether or not Phelps will ask
for the plum for himself or for his
friend, Congressman W. R. Ellis, is a
question as yet unanswered to the
satisfaction of the public. The impres
sion prevails, however, that Phelps)
will take the position himself.
If Phelps is made judge a vacancy
will be left in the district attorney
ship and as Deputy Prosecuting At
torney Frederick Steiwer is a candi
date for the position and as he stump
ed a part of the state in behalf of
Bowerman during the campaign Just
closed, the general concensus of opin
ion seems to be that he is in line for
the promotion. There will be other
candidates, however, and some of
these may arise to side-track the as
pirations of the present deputy.
