I i HAPPENINGS FROM AROUND OREGON PENDLETON PLANS BIRO SHOW. Eastern Oregon Poultrymen Will Make Splendid Exhibit on. Pendleton The first annual exhibit of the Umatilla-Morrow County Poul try association will be held in this city Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday, January 25, 26 and 27. The show will be held in the large store room in the Smith-Crawford building formerly oc cupied by Cook & Perry, and the com mittee in charge has already started to get the room in shape for tha show. The association has seeurvd the ser vices of Elmer Dixon, of Oregon City, j who will be present all during the how and will personal'y pais on each ' entry. Mr. Dixon is a member of the American Poultry association and is licensed by that organization to judge all varieties of poultry, and is recog nized authority in this line of work in the Northwest, being a breeder of poultry himself, and bis knowledge has been gained by actual experience. In order that each exhibitor may have a full knowledge of what his ex hibit is worth and in order to stimulate the breeding of only' first classi-varie-ties of birds in the two counties the ' scure card system will be used through out the show and each bird will pass a most rigid examination, and the result of each examination will be contained on the score card hung in front of the pen containing the bird. ' In additonn to the other features of ; the pod i try show, the committee has in view the holding of a cat and dog show during part of the time, and ap- j propriate prizes will be offered in this line to cause a large exhibit of this ; class of animals to be Bhown. Lowlard Grain Frozen. Salem "It is difficult to estimate the damage the average weather has done, as it has varied in severity in different localities," said A. C. Arm strong, coui.ty fruit inspector of Mar ion counts, in speaking of the effect of unusual winter. "Upland grain has been protested by snovk to some extent, while lowland grain, has been frozen out, so that in some instance?, I would say, less than one-third of a crop remains. Bow ever, it will be found upon investiga tion, I think, that the farmers this year planted lees fall grain than tbey ordinarily would, because of persist 6' cy of early rains last fall. "A large proportion of potatoes not yet dug have suffered, I sm told, but other crops aside from potatoes and grain have not suffered greatly. Cold winter will be good for fruit trees. It will keep them back, giving them longer rest, making them hardier, be sides decreasing liability of late frosts doing damage. Cold weather will clso lend flavor to next winter's apples." Fruit in Good Shape. Eugene While the recent continued cold weather has injured the grain crop of Lane county to some extent, all fruit is in good shape and it is ex pected that the usual crop will be gath ered, according to the predictions of S. J. Bolt, manager of the Eugene Fruit Growers' association and County Fruit Inspector J. Beebe. They think the trees did not suffer from the cold at all. The extent of the damage to the grain cannot be ascertained, but is not as great as first thought. Fol lowing each hard freeze there came a good rain which packed down the ground that had been raised by the freeze and uprooting the grain. Some say there will not be more than half crop of fall-sown wheat, while others aver that no damage at all was done. No reports on the condition of hops are at hand, but it is generally thought that very little, if any, damage has been done by the freezing weather. Crops In Josephine. Grant's Pass Outlook for fruit, hops and grain in Josephine county the coming year is better than it has been for years. County Fruit Inspector J. F. Burke has recently visited some of the larger orchards in this county and reports the trees well set with buds. The extremely cold weather we have been experiencing is all that can be desired for fruit raising and if the present conditions hold until the first of March, Josephine county will be blessed with a bumper crop. This does not apply to orchards exclusively, as small fruits of all kinds are expect ed to be abundant. Extend Phone Lines Near Medford. Medford The Medford & Butte Falls Telephone company has purchas ed tbe Eagle Point-Central Point line and has made arrangements with the Pacific Telephone company to build to Central Point for direct connection with Medford. Tbe stations on the line are Butte Falls, Derby, Vestal and Eagle Point. The line will also be extended to Brownsboro at once as well as to a number of other settle ments in that section. For Bigger and Better Fair. Albany A better and bigger Linn county fair was planned at tbe meet ing of the board of directors of tbe Linn County Fair association at Scio, when tbe following officers were unan imously elected: Dr. A. G. Prill, president; R. Shelton, secretary; E. D. Myers, treasurer. Beautify Street with Trees. Medford Eleven hundred trees or dered by tbe Greater Medford club for tbe purpose of beautifying tbe streets have arrived and are now heel ed in and will be planted as soun as the condition of tbe soil warrants. CHALLENGES ORCHARD OWNERS Captain Reimers. of Chehalem Moun I tain. Posts Cash for Contest. Salem Believing that be has the best orchard land in Oregon, in the 1,000-acre tract known as Chehalem Mountain Orchards, Captain Paul H. Reimers has posted a $1,000 check with W. K. Newell, president of the state board of horticulture, chal'erginp any orchard land operator in the state to show a better 4-year old orchard in 1914 than he can. As evidence of good faith. Captain Reimers has posted $1,000 with Presi dent Newell, for which he has the fol lowing receipt: "Received from Paul H. Reimers. certified check No. 651 of the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000). Said check of $1,000 is to be kept by the undersigned in truBt as security of the following challenge, to-wit: "Paul B. Reimers challenges here with any person or company in the sum of one thousand dollars to plant in Oregon during the year 1910 and de velop during the following four years, a better and more desirable orchard, from every standpoint, than his Che halem Mountain orchards at Frank-and-Rex station, Oregon. Signed, W. K- Newell, President State Board of Horticulture." Any orchardist desiring to enter the competition can get full information as to the conditions of the contest from Captain Reimers or President Newell. Bumper for Apples. Hood River Cold weather has not injured the fruit trees. Examination of fruit tpurs indicates the best of condition. County Fruit Inspector G. R. Castner has made a careful inspec tion of his district, and reports the very best of conditions in both the lower and upper valiey. Present indications point to a bum per apple crop here this year. With a heavy snowfall on the ground, straw berry plants have been prevented from heaving out of the ground by contin ued frosts- One hundred and twenty five cars of berries are predicted for this vear. Klamath Falls Gets Fire Protection. Klamath Falls The city council has ordered 60 new hydrants, which will make a total of 70 in tbe city. The mains on Klamath and Main street will be connected with the six-inch main down Second and Sixth streets, which will also extend down Sixth street to Oak. Fire hydrants will be established on every corner on Main street and Klamath avenue. This ad dition to tbe system is to be installed and ready for service by July 1, 1910. Oakotans See Hood Orchards Hood River Dr. Henry Waldo Coe of Portland, arrived in flood River with a special car of homeseekers from North Dakota, They spent a day viewing the Hood River orchards.

Census Director Establishes Compen sation for Census Takers Washington, D. C, Januray, 24 Tbe varying wage scales in different parts of the country and the differences in the nature and extent of the local diffi cutties confronting the enumerators in the larger geographical divisions o the United States have influenced and guid ed United States Census Dire tor Dur- and in the adoption of a classification of enumerators rates of compensation. within the limits presribed by the Uni ted States Census law enacted by con gress. Per diem rites of pay will be paid to the census enumerators in the sparsely settled rural districts of Ari sona. California, Texas, Colorado, Ida ho, Montana, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The rate will range from $5 to $6 per day for the enumeration of the rur al areas outside of cities and towns. Six dollars is the highest rate author ized by law. There are three general rates the per capita, the mixed, and per diem. The first and second general rates have five subdivisions each. The per diem rates range from $3 to $3.50. $4, $4.50, $5, $5.50, and $6, and are paid for a day of eight hours' work. For enumerators on the per capita basis, which will be that . most widely used, the pay for each inhabitant is Class A, 2 cents ; class B, 2 cents; class C. 3 cents; class D, 83 cents; and class E, 4 cents. Such enumerators will also be paid for each farm as fol lows: Class A, 20 cents: class B, 22 cents; class C, 25 cents; class D, 27 cents; and class E, 30 cents. These rates are in each case 5 cents or more higher than those paid in 1900, when the range was from 15 to 20 cents. For each establishment of productive industry the rate for each class is 30 cents. For each barn and inclosure containing livestock, not on farms, the pay is 10 cents for each class. Under the mixed rate, which is a combination of the per capita and the per diem, there five sub-classes alpha betically arranged, and the per diem is: Class F, $1; G, $1.25; H, $1.50; I, $1.75; and J, $2. For each inhab itant the pay is : Class F, 2 cents ; G, 2 cents; H. 2S cents; I, 2J cents and J, 3 cents. For each farm: Class F, 15 cents; G, 17 cents; H, 17Ji cents ; I and J, 20 cents each. For each establishment of productive in dustry the rate is 20 cents for each class. ARIZONA STARTLED BY COMET. Nebulous Body With Flowing Tail Plainly Seen at Sunset. Douglas, Arizona, Jan. 24. Without being heralded, there appeared in the western horizon just before dusk this evening, a spectacle such as cone in these parts had ever before witnessed. It was nothing more nor less than a magnificent comet, or a body having all the appearances of one, with nu cleus, coma and a great tail. Tbe word was quickly passed around and soon tbe whole city was out viewing the beautiful spectacle. At first it was supposed as a matter of course it was Bailey's comet, though this is not expected until April, but word from Professor Douglas, astronomer at the state university at Tucson, is that the stranger is distinct from Bailey's. The same word also comes to the Dis patch here from Flagstaff university, in Northern Arizona. The wonder of the spectacle was its completeness and its appearance with out any warning just after sunset Douglas is about 4,000 feet above the tea and has a wonderfully clear at mosphere. No comet like this one has ever before been seen in this section. Bonolulu, Jan. 24. Captains of in ter island vessels arriving here report having seen Bailey's comet. Disputes Delay Settlement. Paris, Jan. 24. It is rumored here that the delay in the final settlement of the terms of the Hankow-Szechun railway loan was due chiefly to dis putes over details connected with tbe apportionment of tbe roadway between the financial groups interested, the construction material and similar ques tions. According to a statement in well-infomred quarters, the French group, beaded by the Indo-China bank, held out because tbey considered that they had not been fairly treated in the apportionment. Thaw Declared Bankrupt. Pittsburg, Jan. 24. That Harry K. Thaw is a bankrupt and that his estate is subject to tbe United States bank ruptcy laws is held by Referee Wil liam B. Blair, who today handed down an opinion on the petition of Roger O'Nara, trustee of Thaw's estate, for leave to sell the bankrupt's real and personal property to bis sister, Alice Copley Thaw, at private sale. The petition was opposed by New York creditors. Sugar Weighers Stay In Jail. New York, Jan. 24. Judge Laco ro be, in the United States Circuit court here, denied today the application of the four men now serving a sentence of a year's imprisonment on Black well's island for conspiracy to defraud tbe government in tbe weighing of su gar on tbe docks in Brooklyn to be re leased on bail pending the hearing of tbe motion of an appeal. A French scientist has advanced the theory that there is no such metal as radium, but that radio-activity is the result of certain now unknown chemi cal combinations of which barium forma the chief part.

(Continntd.) "Who and what U hr cried Lum ley, fiercely, starting forward from where he bad been leaning against the wlndom-frame. I will tell you so much. He Is poor like myself, and we have a long strug gle oe'ore us, but There, will say no more. Now that you understand there la no hope, you will be able to put me out of your thoughts. Do tell your father he has nothing to fear, at least from me. It is cruel to disap point a father, a parent See what suffering Hugh Sarille has caused his mother." "He was right He got what he wanted. I am disappointed. I thought when you knew what I really meant you " "It Is useless to argue about what Is Inevitable," Interrupted Hope. "I deep ly regret having caused you annoy ance or disappointment, but neither you nor I would have been happy If we had become man and wife. Why, oh, why did you not understand me? Now I can hear no mora. Make haste to relieve your father's mind, and good-by. Captain Lum ley." She half put out her hand, drew H back, and left the room swiftly. The enraged and disappointed lover took a turn to and fro, uttering some half-art tculate denunciations of his Infernal 111 lock, then, snatching up hla hat rushed away to pour his troubles Into the sympathizing ear of Lord Everton, is whom all Imprudent youngsters found a congenial confidant As soon as the Bound of his steps was heard, the unclosed door of a small Inner room from which there was no other exit was pushed more widely open, and Mrs. Sarille walked In. She wore her out-door dress, and held a note In her hand. "I little thought what I should hear," she said, almost aloud, "when I determined to keep quiet till that booby had gone. Listeners never hear good of themselves. So I am a can tankerous, dictatorial, tyrannical old woman? Hope Desmond does not think so; I know she does not" CHAPTER XVI. To Hope Mrs. Savllla made no sign, and she remained In complete ignor ance that her acute patroness had been a hearer of Lumley'a avowal. There was something Increasingly kind and confidential, however. In her tone and manner. Hope was greatly relieved by having thus disposed of her admirer. That worry was at an end: another, however, still remained. Miss Dacre's feelings and imagina tion were greatly exercised by the sudden disappearance of George Lum- ley from the scene, and she grew quite ravenous for Hope's society, that Bhe might wonder and conjecture and maunder about his mysterious con duct, and cross-examine Hope as to what she thought might, could, would, or should have caused htm thus sud denly to throw up the game which Miss Dacre chose to think he was playing so eagerly viz., the pursuit of herself till she made her hearer's life a burden to her. "I don't know what you do to Miss Desmond when you have her out by herself," said Mrs. Saville to the young heiress one afternoon, when she had called to know If dear Mrs. Saville would spare Hope Desmond to take a drive with her and stay to af ternoon tea, "but she always cornea back looking whKe and tired, quite exhausted; and I will not spare her. Miss Dacre. I want her my salt If you are always taking her away, you had better keep her." "I am sure I shall be delighted. I want a nice lady-like companion a lit tle older than myself, to go about with me and " 'A little older than yourself!" laughed Mrs. Saville. "I suspect she Is two years your junior. Well, take her. If she will go." "Indeed, Mrs. Saville, I think "you would do better with an older person, tome one nearer your own age." I am much obliged for your kind consideration. Tes. of course Mix. Desmond has rather a dull time with me. Suppose you make her an offer In writing." "Tes, of course I could; that is. If you would not be offended." No, by no means. I would not stand In her light" Really. Mrs. Sarnie, you are the most sensible woman I know. Pray, bow much do you give her? what sal-' ary I mean." What Mr. Rawson asked for his protege fifty pounds." "M that all? Oh. I will give her a ! hundred." "Then of course you will set her " said Mrs. Saville, grimly. "That be ing so. pray leave her to me for this afternoon." 'Oh, yes, certainly. I can write to her this evening." Her further ut terance was arrested by the announce ment in loud tones, of Lady Olivia Luuiley, whereupon that personage en tered, wearing a simple traveling-dress and a most troubled expression of countenance. "Dear Miss Dacre, I had no Idea I should find you here." said Lady Oil via. when she had greeted Mrs. Sa ville. "I am on my way to Contreve vllle, to try and get rid of my gouty rheumatism; so" "How very unfortunate that Captain Luruley should lust have left:" Inter rupted Miss Dacre. "He started on Wednesday something regimental, I believe." Most unfortunate," returned Lady Olivia, emphatically. Where are you staying?" asked Miss Dacre. "At the Hotel d'Albe." "Well. I shall call late this after noon. Now I am obliged to call on the Comtesse de Suresnea. So good by for the present Mrs. Saville. Good- by, dear Lady Olivia." As soon as she was gone, Mrs. Sa vllle, looking very straight at her sls-ter-tn-law, asked. "What Is the matter with your "Matter! Matter enough! If I had not been en route for Contrexevllle I should have come here on purpose to to tell you what I think." "And pray what may that be. Lady Olivia?" "That you have allowed my unfor tunate boy George to fall Into the same scrape as your own son, just to make us suffer as you have done. It is too bad, that while we were think ing everything was on the point of be ing settled between him and Mary Dacre (such an excellent marriage), there Is he falling Into the trap of that low-born, designing adventuress, your companion! Tou are not a wom an to be blinded by anjthlng, and you never took the trouble to warn us or aave him, and I who always sympa thized with you in your trouble about Hugh! I expected better things from you, Elizabeth. Tou. are Infatuated about that woman, of whom you really know nothing." For a moment Mrs. Saville was si lent too amazed to find words. "I don't understand you. Pray ex plain your meaning. If you have any," she said, at last a bitter little smile curling up the corners of her mouth. "Why, our unfortunate mad boy wrote to his father a few days ago that he was going to make an offer to that dreadful girl, as she was the sort of woman to whom he dared not pro pose a private marriage; that we fear ed we might be vexed at first, but If we attempted to prevent it he would go straight to the dogs. Oh, It Is too too bad! I Utile thought when I was so horrified at Hugh's conduct last summer, that before a year was over I Bhould be afflicted In the same way." "When you gloated over my disap pointment, you mean," cried Mrs. Sa ville, her keen black eyes flashing. "1 have no doubt you thought to yourself that your son would never 1 false to the Instincts of his race, which Is arts tocratlc on both sides, but that mine was Impelled by the plebeian' vigor in herited from his mother's people. I know the amount of gratitude you all feel towards me for conferring wealth for which he never toiled, on your brother and his sons. But the blood In my veins has been strong enough to keep you all In your places. Yes as the world we live In chooses to attach Importance to rank and to worship n thle, I bought what was neressary 3f the valuable article; but I know your estimate of me and the veiled con tempt of your commiseration when the blow fell upon me. Now I am go ing to return good for evil an lleve your mind. Tour precious son Is perfectly safe. That low-torn, design lng adventuress, my companion has defiantly and utterly rejected h!m " iuimiuie: Are Von aura May mis not do some deep-laid How do you know?" scheme? "It Is quite possible.

Miss Des mond acted like a young woman of sense and honor, and in my opinion she Is a great deal too aood so high and mighty a gentleman captain George Lumley." "Thank Godl" cried Ladr nn,n. much relieved to resent the nnii.n.i. ed scorn and anger of her slster-in- w. xiui ure von nn ia , . - . w mure is danger of this vonnn- changing her mind?" "Be under no apprehension v... son Is safe enough so far as my youmr friend Miss Desmond is concerned." , "l?tmfur 1 am Terr laA' bot real ly, Elizabeth, I am amazed at the vary extraordinary attack yon hava vadi upon me." Or, rather, you are amaied that 1 know you so well. I saw ths aneel that lurked under your assumed com passion for my disappointment, and I am amazed you ventured to speak la the tone you did to me. Now you may go, and write to your husband and as sure him his son Is safs for ths pres ent Before ws meet again, yon must apologise to me for the liberty you have taken." "I think an apology la also dua ta me," cried Lady Olivia. While she spoke. Mrs. Savllla had rung the bell, and, on the waiter's ap pearance, said. In a commanding ton, "Lady Olivia's carriage," whereupon that lady confessed defeat by rattling rapidly. CHAPTER XVIL Mrs. Saville walked to her special arm-chair, and. taking Prince Into her lap, stroked him mechanically, as was tier wont when she was thinking. "So that was the fool's attraction T" she mused. "I ought to have suspect ed it but I did not or I should have sent him about his business. It la nat ural enough that uie father and moth er should be annoyed; but she Is too good for him a great deal too good. But she Is silly, too, with her high flown notions. We cannot defy the judgment and prejudices of the world we live In; obscurity and Insignifi cance are abhorrent to most sane peo ple. Yet It Is Impossible to doubt her sincerity; and sue Is common-sens leal enough. Can It be that she Is wise and I am unwise?" Here Mrs. Sa ville put her little favorite on the car pet and again rang the bell. This time she desired that Hiss Desmond should be sent to her. "I think I shall go out and do soma shopping." she said, when Hops ap peared. "I do not walk enough. 1 have had a tiresome morning. First Miss Dacre came begging that you might be lent to her for the day. This I refused. Then came Lady Olivia, la a bad temper, and we quarreled, oha Is going away to-morrow or next day. At all events, she shall not trouble me any more. I think we have had enough of Paris. Richard is coming over next week. As soon as he leaves, I shall go away to a quaint little plaos on the coast of Normandy, and recruit It will be very dull; but you are used to that" "I rarely feel dull," returned Hope, who secretly wondered why Mrs. Sa ville had quarreled with her sister-in-law. She was too decided, too peremp tory a woman to be quarrelsome. Could it be for any reason connected with herself? Lumley said he had communicated his intention to propose for her (Hope) to his father. This, no doubt would have enraged his fam ily; but she could not ask any ques tions. Indeed, she was thankful to "let sleeping do3s 11a" She had many anxieties pressing on her young heart A very cloudy and uncertain future lay before her. "It Is hard," shs thought "that however good and true and loving a woman may be. If not rich she is thought unworthy to be ths helpmate of a wealthy, well-placed man; any poor, struggling nobody Is good enough for her. Yet it Is among the struggling nobodies that the finest fellows are often found; so things equalize themselves." (To be contlnaed.) A Womii'i War.
