WOOL PRICE IS
Weather Condition More Fa
vorable Than Usual for
Lambing Season; Too Much
Mud is Only Drawback.
The winter lambing of Smythc
brothers, well known sheepmen, is on
in full swing nt. Arlington, where 12,
000 ewes are being shed lambed, says
Dan Smythe. He states also that the
Pendleton Sheep Co. lambing Is under
way at Pine City, where six or seven
thousand ewes are being shed lambed
and that Tulloch & Smythe will begin..
lambing on their ranch 1G miles soutn
westjiif Pendleton February 25, while
iho Umatilla Sheep Co. will begin on
March 1 at the sheep ranch .10 miles
southwest of here.
Weather conditions, Mr. Smythe
says, are excellent, aside from the ex
cessive mud. Winter grass is better
than for yenrs past and most of the
young lambs have been turned out on
the range, where feed Is better now
ithnn at any time last spring.
! The nirceiitage of lambs, according
I to report. Is far above the normal, Mr.
Smvthv says. Sheep are in lino condi
tion and with the present mild wenth-
er, prospoctB look exceedingly favor
able for the lambing season. Tho la
bor situation Is good also as plenty of
efflc ent men are obtainable.
The only flaw in the whole situation,
Mr. Smythe remarks, is the low wool
price atid the fact that wool cannot be
sold, as well as the .low market for
mutton.

Judge James A. Fee Acted as
Toastmaster and Interesting
Speeches Were Made by
Wromincnt Pendleton Citi
zens. George Washington's memory was
fittingly honored by the Umatilla
County' X-Club In the dining room of
the Elks Temple last evening. Thirty
five members were present and for
more than three hours they enjoyed
a real banquet with after dinner
speeches of more than ordinary merit.
The attendance was not confined to
Pendleton resident member;" of the
club.
The banquet was held on suggestion
of H. J. Taylor, former councilman
and one of the or. tonal promoters of
the club. JudKe'James A. Fee, for
ehlef ot the fire department, former
mayor and former circuit Judge, acted
as loaslmaitler.
Judge Stephen A. Uiwell, former
circuit judce of this district, and al
luded to by the toast master as one of
the best orators in the northwest,
spoke on the subject, "George Wash
ington." In his usual eloquent man
ner the judge pictured the father of
his country, not as a superman, but
as an everyday American. He de
lighted his hearers with references to
Incidents which showed Washington
to be entirely human. Full credit
wus given for his military and civil
achievement" and when in closing he
declared it due to the manliness, cour
uice and foresight of the first presi

.Site Development League, spoke on
the possibilities of that project. The
purposes and objects of the organiza

conception or wnai s possioie 01
achievement was given. That the
sieal;er is giving much time, thought
and study to the subject was evident.
Judge J. W. Maloney, president of
the lntand Empire Bank, but former
county recorder andcomity Julge,
was the next speaker. He had been
assigned the subject of "The Federal
Reserve," but exercised a banker's
privilege of changing the subject. He
chose a subject more Interesting to
everyone present and spoke on pres
ent conditions and right ideals. He
spoke from manuscript in part as fol
lows: Presents IJusiiie'w OmiUtions.
The business condition of the norlh
west seems to be recovering in good
shape -from the recent financial strin
gency, and almost every one views the
future with optimism. There Is, of
course a big demand for money and
bonks have not slackened their policy
of curtailing loans to absolutely essen
tUil industries. There is still approx
imately 2,000,000 bushels of wheat be
ing held by the farmers of Umatilla
county. When this is marketed the
strain on the local banks will be great
ly relieved.
This club of ours Is composed of
men of mature Judgment, most of
whom have passed the meridian of I
life and Rre now facing the setting
sun. Have we not reached that sta
tion In life when we should think more
of the finer and better things of life
than the mere accumulation of money
or property? A few days ago nvy eyes
fell upon a magazine article which
among other things said "The past
year hns left Its scar upon the souls of
men, that from a mad money making
orgie they have been precipitated in
to a Judgment day settlement. And
I am wondering If the past few yenrs
have not left also their stains upon the
souls of men, for have we not all been
touched with money madness, from la
borer to profiteer.
I am not one of those who believe
It is a crime to .be rich. improvi
dence Is the prolific parent of poverty.
, Wastefulness is always weakni'sa.
Economy and thrift are allies of the
larger life.

Mr. Inlow, who is chairman of the
playground committee in the commu

physical training course of the schoolJ
with the community work of Pendle
ton. Miss Hairs will direct the play
ground work and till children In the
cMy will be given an opportunity to
attend. This will serve us laboratory
work for the teachers, who as pupils
of Miss Hales wiil a."ist nt the play

has been chosen.

La Grande Man Has Support of

Candidacy to Succeed to Po

Jack Peare of Xa Grande hopes to
succeed Milton A. Miller as collector
of internal revenue for this district.
In furtherance of his candidacy for
this position Mr. Peare visited Pendle
ton yesterday and evidently lined up
considerable support in behalf of his
candidacy. Petitions are now being
circulated locally In his behalf, one ot
them being at the Downey Meat Mar
ket on Main street.
Peare is In the Jewelry business In
La Grande and is quite well known
ihroughout t'matilla, t'nion and Ba
ker counties by reason of his political
activities. He Is prominent mem
ber of the Knights of Columbus and
in connection with the work of that
organization has visited Pendleton on
several occasions.
No local aspirants have appeared!
for this office and Peare is the only
man who has thus far sought local
support for this position.
That Mr. Peare stands an excellent
chance of being named for the place
is the opinion of Marion Jack, prom
inent local republican. He says Peare
is the only candidate from eastern
Oregon for this position and that this
is the only position eastern Oregon re-
puoticaiis are ttntMiiff lur.
The nice seems to be between Mr.
Peare and Clyde Huntley of Oregon
