Bynonomous with convention time for
a number of associations In the state.
The latest to announce Pendleton as
its next convention place and the
Hound-up days as Its dates is the
state veterinary association which
was Just organized in Portland this
week.
This news was brought back to Pen
dleton by Dr. C. W. Lassen, the local
veterinary, who was present at the
founding of the new association.
Twenty-seven other veterlnarles from
over the state were also present and
others will be taken In upon appli
cation and upon proof of eligibility.
To be qualified an applicant must be
a graduate of a recognized veterin
ary college.
One of the purposes of the new or
ganization is to secure legislation for
the purpose- of barring from practice
the many quacks who are scattered
over the state and to protect the le
gitimate practitioners.
Dr. Knotts of Baker was elected
president of the association and Dr.
Morell, veterinarian at the Oregon
Agricultural college secretary-treasurer.
It was decided to hold conventions
pcmi-annually and the members were
unanimous in wishing to take ad
vantage of the first occasion to wit
ness the Hound-up. and Pendleton
was accordingly selected as the meet
in;? place. At that time clinics will
be held and a number of instructive
papers road by veterinarians of cni

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
WILL OPEN MONDAY
Pendleton's postal saving bank re
cently granted by the postoffice de
partment upon application by Post
master J. T. Brown, will be open for
business Monday morning. This was
the announcement made this morning
by Assistant Postmaster Harry Rees
and it is expected that many persons
who have for years hoarded their sav
ings In t'm boxes burled beneath two
feet of earth in their distrust of the
banking business will deposit these
accumulations with Uncle Sam. safe
In the assurance that the government
will protect them and their wealth.
The postal banking hours will be
the same as the present money order
hours from 9 a. m. unf.l 5 p. m. and
the business will be handled by the
money order department. According
to Mr. Reese, no extra clerical help
will be necessary at prestn, but after
the growth of the business, which" is
expected to be gradual, another man
will perhaps be required.
Before a person may become a de
positor in the savings bank, It will
become necessary for h m or her to
give in their whole pedigree much as
Is done when the census man comes
around. The nationality, age, sex,
occupation, place of residence and all
other data concerning the depositor
must be duly registered before sav
ings will be accepted.
The local post office offic.ais do
not expect a great business on the
outset but believe whin the system
becomes known and understood,
theie will be a considerable increase
?

IS ANOTHER FAILURE
OXE CKXT 1 SETTER
IS OFFERED TODAY
Pilot Rock Clip Sold Tor 11 1-2 Cents
While the liamhart Clip Brought
10 1-2 Cents Completes Local Wool
Business.
The second Pendleton wool sale,
scheduled for today was even less of
a failure than the first for there was
not a pound" purchased at it. How
ever there has been one large private
sale recorded since the first sale, that
of the J. E. Smith clip of 180,000
pounds to Charles Green, represent
ing J. Koshland & Co. of Boston at
different prices. The Pilot Rock
part of the clip, comprising 12,7,000
pounds, sold for 14 1-2 cents, while
the Barnhart clip only brought 10 1-2
cents, which, however, was one cent
better than was offered at the last
wool sale and Mr. Smith has profit
ed considerably by holding.
The only other wool to be sold Is
a small clip owned by a man by the
name of Miller of Long Creek and
it will doubtless go at private sale.
This will practically compete the
wool business In Pendleton for
the season and there has been con
siderably less of this product han
dled from this city than has been
the case for the past few years. Re
sponsibility for this is not the short
ness of the crop but the fact that the
Echo and Pilot Rock branches have
cut off more than half of the wool
that formerly came to Pendleton.
Then, also, the loose sack rate has
made it practical to ship from any
point so that wool which was former
ly shipped out of Pendleton is not
stored here now.
According to one warehouseman,
the buyers have been trying to dis
credit the wool sale idea and prac
tically succeeded this year as the
condition of the market assisted them.

C. C. Conners and Others Land Meet
Ing on Strength of Pendleton's
Reputation as Convention City
Farmers of Four Con ties Had BI
Time at Wallowa Lake During Past
Few Days Kangaroo Vourt.
Through the efforts of C. C. Con
ners and other farmers union men of
this county the annual convention of
the state farmers' union organization
is to be held in this city beginning on
the second Tuesday in December. In
the neighborhood of 2000 people will
be in attendance at the gathering.
Xews to this effect was brought
back from La Grande this morning by
Mr. Conner who is a member of the
farmers' union executive committee
and as such attended a meeting ot
the committee at La Grande Mon
day. "We were able to secure the an
nual convention," said Mr. Connor,
"because of Pendleton's good reputa
tion for entertaining meetings of thl
sort. In view of this fact we ar
hopeful that we will be able to main
tain the reputation and have a very
successful meeting here."
Another meeting of the executive
committee is to be held here in Sep
tember, during the Round-up, and at
that time further arrangements will
be made for the annual convention.
At Wallowa Lake.
Local members of the farmers' un
ion returned last night from Wallowa
Lake where they had been to attend
a convention of the unions of Uma
tilla, Union, Wallowa and Baker
counties. The trip to the lake wa
made from La Grande by special train
and it carried approximately 100
people. Although it rained durlnr
the stay at the lake the gathering
there was very successful and the vis
itors praise the courtesies extended
them.
At the big banquet held at noon
Wednesday strawberries from Uma
tilla county were served while Un
ion county supi"..:d the sugar, Wal
lowa county the cream and Baker
the cake.
Shumway Must Marry.
Returning home in a special car
last evening the members of the Uma
tilla county delegation indulged lo
some fun at the expense of several
members. A session of the Kangaroo
court was held with Manuel Frledly
as Judge and the first victim brought
before the bar was A. R. Shumway,
county president. He was charged
with being unmarried and was sen
tenced to become a benedict within
a period of ten days. W. W. Harrah
being named as his custodian In the
meantime. As rumor has it that Mr.
Shumway Is to become a married
man within a few days it will seem
that the sentence is proving effective.
Rownian Got His'n.
Another victim of the court was
B. B. Bowman of McKay creek who
was up for flirting with the girls and
for doing unfair work as umpire at
a ball game held at the lake. He
was found excusable for the flirting
but was pronounced guilty of belli?
a bad actor as an umpire.
Among those at the lake from Pen
dleton were the following: Mr. and
J.'rs. C. C. Connor. A. R. Shumway,
Mrs. Shumway. Mrs. Cogswell, Mrs.
