Prospects Bright lor Reunion The twenty-eighth annual reun ion of Umatilla county pioneers to be held at Weston June 4 and 5, promises to be the biggest, bright est and best in the association's his tory. The several committees have begun their appointed tasks with enthusiasm, and every feature is ex pected to prove a hummer. The program promises well. Tal ent will be drawn upon from neigh boring towns as well as from local sources. The musical people of Milton-Freewater have been especial ly kind in responding to requests for their assistance. Friday will be "Pendleton day." The largest deelgatioir that ever at tended a reunion, led by commercial club members, is expected from the county seat. Manager Barnes of Memorial hall has booked "Family Honor" for Fri day afternoon and evening of the re union, and "The Girl from Outside" ibr Saturday, afternoon and evening. Both pictures are super specials, fa mous in screendom. There will be special scenic pictures, "Chester's Outing." both days. Pilot Rock Comes Sunday. (Athena Press.) Pilot Bock will be the card for Sun day on the home grounds in its sec ond game with the Athena Blue Mountain league team. The two teams played a splendid game at the Rock recently, Athena losing by the close score of three to two. It is understood that Casteel's ' aggrega tion has been materially strengthen ed by the acquisition of three semi professional players, and Sunday last his team played nosey with the Helix tossers. Athena will play practically the same players that went against the rock a week ago Sunday, and the game promises to be interesting. The Pilot Bock-Helix game was the only one played in the league Sunday, rain railing off the Athena-Walla Walla and Pendleton - Milton-Freewater games. Notice. Horsemen. Prince Albert II, No. 113661, will make the season in and around Wes ton. For reference, see Lafe Mc Bride. S. I. BIRDSELL. Local Bank Sells the Sawmill The Blue Mountain sawmill prop erty on Weston mountain has been sold by The Farmers Bank of Weston to H. D. Lamb, J. N. Stone, II. C. and Frank Lamb of Milton. The property includes 1140 acres of land and the mill plant, which the new owners are getting ready to place in operation in a few weeks. They will increase its capacity and employ some 60 men. Mr. Bartcll, an ex perienced sawmill man from Gray's Harbor, Wash., will be superintend ent Herman Henderson is coming from Baker, Oregon, with his family to be sawmill foreman. At the Standard Theatre "Why Change Your Wife?" the big super-special with the "Malo and Fe male" all-star cast, which completed a two-weeks run at the Columbia theater in Portland, last Wednesday, will be presented at the Standard to morrow (Saturday) night. Two shows, 7:30 and 9:30. Sunday night, the special "Dark Star," will be screened at regular prices. Wednes day, Wally Reid comes in "Rimrock Jones." fM4 t IM pailotlkt l Wttto.

Always it pleases him, if he be a citiien with an ounce of public spirit. Then let his vision broaden. What benefit his county and his state should also please him, even though ho may perceive no direct individual' profit. We confess to some impatience with the argument against the college millage tax to the effect that "them schools don't help us." This same false sentiment killed two of the. state's normal schools because they were not under the noses of thought less voters to whom their need could not therefore become apparent. It should not be allowed to cripple tho university, the agricultural college and the one remaining normal. These Institutions Oregon must haw, and they must be properly support ed. To expect them to double and triple the service rendered for the same pay is to expect the impossi ble. Voters who take some pride in tho educational progress of tlicir state must "rally round" theso schools at the primary election, or they may yet become the victims of a persistent anvil chorus. The practicability of training the blind in remunerative work Is shown by the school for the blind main tained in Portland. Doiens of help less, sightless persons have been taken from the streets and taught trades and arts that have made thero self supporting. It Is because of the success of this institution open only to the blind of Portland, where it Is maintained by the school district that the blind people and others are asking for a state institution con ducted along similar lines. To es tablish it will cost a levy of but one sixth of a mill; to maintain it but one twenty-fifth of a mill annually. Surely the voters, on May 21. will not deny this boon to the afflicted.

Although tho r wu won, the Wilson administration is compelled to defend itself against the sort of critic who never sees a j b so well done that ho doesn't think it should have been done better. Speaking of the difference be tween Wilson and Chamberlain; but no, that subject has been, I being and will be fully and gleefully cov ered by tho esteemed Oregoniun.

Relying upon tho Innate good sense of Old Man Oregon, wo arc not lying awake nights to worry about the threatened invasion by tho Non partisan League.

Pledged to continue the efficient and business-like administration of the Secretary of State's office, Sam A. Kozer, now Deputy Secretary of State and Republican candidate for Secretary of State, should have the support of every voter who desires efficient public service economically administered. Adv.

Bear in mind that automobile li cense fees and gasoline taxes paid in Oregon are more than enough to pay off the principal and interest on all the bonds that can be issued under the Four Percent State Road Measure on which you will vote May 21. No additional taxes of any sort will be required. Success of this measure will cost you nothing. Ita defeat will cost the collapse of tho good roads program in Oregon. Let's get out of the mud now! Oregon's highway fund has enough income to complte all the important state highways. But before this can be done, you will have to vote for the Four Percent State Road Bond Lim itan enabling act which will per mit the state to complete the roads. Some of us at least will take pride in the fact that the 83,405 registered democratic voters in Oregon, as com pared to the 228.405 voters classified as republican, are enabled by their wisdom to leaven the state's lump of political intelligence. Decisive defeat of the "red flag" contingent in the socialist conven tion, is a bright symptom of return ing sanity in these United States.

It wasn't for tho presidency that Carranta was called upon to do some pretty fair running in Mexico. 111 1 We trust friend Germany will learn to prefer standing army to a large running army.
