AT THE PIONEER PICNIC
All Preparations Made By Weston For
Entertainment on June 2 and 3.
Weston, May 25. Final arrange
ments for the Eleventh Annual Re
union of the Umatilla County Pio
neers' Association at Weston, June 2
and, 3 were made Wednesday afternoon
at a meeting of the general committee.
Everything indicates the success of
the reunion. An excellent program
has been prepared, aud there will be
several features of especial interest
Weston will be in gala attire and will
endeavor to hospitably entertian its
visitors. In accordance with the an
nual custom of residents, private
lawns about town will be thrown open
for the accommodation of picnickers.
The exercises will be held in a com
modious pavilion on Broad street,
fronting on Main, conveniently ar
ranged and gaily decorated. The pa
vilion will be of canvas, 45x100 feet
in dimensions, with an annex for the
platform 21x32 feet.
Dan C. Kirk was appointed marshal
of the day and empowered to appoint
a sufficient number of ' aides to pre
serve order during the occasion. Hap
pily the crowds attending these an
nual events at Weston have always
been well disposed and peaceable, and
the officers will doubtless have little
to do.
A special round trip rate of one and
one-third fare has been granted by
the O. R. & N. Co. for the benefit of
reunion visitors.

CHANGES ARE GOOD
FRIENDS OF JUDGE FEE CONFI
DENT HE WILL BE CHOSEN.
Pendleton, May 25. Prospocta are
very bright lor the appointment of
Judge James A. Fee of this city as
United States district judge of the
district, no other candidate appearing
to have euch good chances for this
distinction as the prominent Pendle
ton attorney.
Morrow county bar has heartily en
dorsed Judge Fee and have promised
as a whole, to lend their every in
fluence toward his appointment Be
sides the bar of Morrow oouuty, lead
ing business men and prominent citi
zens have united in a concerted effort
to secure the position for the judge and
his friends throughout the state are all
fully confident that the appointment
will go to him.
It has beon learned from his friends
that the judge was unaware of their '
intention to place his name among tho
candidates for the federal judgeship,
until after it had been done. The
news of the death of Judge Bellingor
and the wish of his friends that he at
temptto be appointed as successor to
the United btates judge, was broaoned
to Judge Fee the first time on the
train between Pendleton and Hepp-
ner, by District Attorney Phelps, who
was traveling with the judge. The
judge is said to have said that he
would allow his friends to make him
candidate, but that he would not
enter the field personally. ,,
This has been the course pursued by
the judge throughout and it is stated
authoritatively that Judge Fee has
done nothing whatever to promote his
chances, everything that has been
done being the result of the efforts of
his mauy friends without bis solicitation.
The judge was not even aware that
a petition asking his appointment had
been circulated, until it was shown
him after being signed by a majority
of Pendleton attorneys and Circuit
Judge Ellis.
No inkling of the intention of Judge
Fee has been allowed to escape, but
from his friends, however, the con
clusion may be reached that the judge
is iu the race to stay now, and there
is no danger of bis withdrawing from
the contest until it has ended by the
suooess of one of the candidates. His
friends have avowed thoir intention to
stick with their oandidate to the last
ditch and refuse to admit the possi
bility of the failure of the success of
their candidate. They state that Judge
Feo's feelings are most friendly to
ward all candidates and that he
would not think ofmaking the race a
personal matter, or make a bitter con
troversy of such a question.

Modern Woodmen Sued
Pendleton, May 25. The Modern
Woodmen of America society has leen
made defendant in a judgment suit for
13.000 begun yesterday by Maltha D.
Kimball of Alba, this county, who,
as the beneficiary of her late husband,
Charles E. Kimball, alleges that that
amount is due and still owing ber
from the society. Charles Kimball,
the deceased husband, died at Alba
November 28, 1903, six months after
the date be was received into the
lodgo. lie was a well known citizen
of the Camas Prairie country and was
highly respected. The complaint was
filed in the office of County Clerk

Umatilla County Will be Well Keiro
ented at National Convention.
Umatilla county will be well repre
sented at the National Good Roads
convention which will be held at
Portland June 21 and 24. Yesterday
County Judge IL J. Beau appointed
delegates to the convention as follows:
C. A. Barrett of Athena, G. W. Proeb
stel and S. A. Barnes of Weston ;
Frank Riohmond of Helix, Matt Mos

of Athena, Julius Hudemann of Ful
ton, S. A. Lowell of Pendleton, Asa
Thompson of Butter creek, a T. Cock-
burn of Milton, William Dale of Hel
ix, and R. Alexander of Pendleton.
It is expected that all of the dele
gates will leaveJPoudleton in a body
on the morning of Jnne 20 in order to
be in Portland in time for the opening
session of the convention. The people
of Umatilla county will undoubtedly
take a great deal of interest in the
meeting as much enthusiasm was
aroused during the meeting of the
State Good Roads association, held in
Pendleton May 15 and 16. A number
of speakers of a national reputation
have been secured to address the con
vention. TrUmnk
Gamblers Pay Fines:
The Morrow county grand jury has
ended its duties after bringing indict
ments against twelve gamblers and
owners of gambling houses. Iu the
absence of Judge W. R. Ellis Judge
Bradshaw presided over the cases. The
gamblers were fined $50 euch. The
grand jury , brought no true bills
against the violators of the Sunday
closing law, recommending that such
cases be handled by the municipality
aud by bo doing tbo litigation would
, be less expensive to the taxpayers.
