MAY 3, ....1912 Witb only seven points between Pendleton and Atbena in tbe Connty Sobool Atbletio and Traok Meet held in this city laBt Saturday, Atbena made a most creditable showing tak ing into consideration tbe fact tbat Pendleton has at least five times the number of students from wbiob to se leot competitors than bas Atbena. 1 he meet was practically a dnel in .cbaraoter for tbe reason tbat Weston, Milton and Columbia College entries did little to out down Atbena and Pen dleton winnings. Had either of these schools bad a couple of entiies cap able of taking first plaoe in any one of tbe events, Atbena would have scored a victory over Pendleton. As it resnltod, the meet lay between Pen dleton and Atbena. In splinting Ath eua outdated Pendleton bat laoked weight in the heavy events. In tbe DisOQs throw and patting tbe shot, Reeser of Columbia looked good, and with Dudley going tbitd, hope welled in Atbena breasts, bat tbe Columbia boy was a disappointment, Pendleton taking first and second and winning the meet right there. Ont of 31 firsts, Atbena took 11 and Pendleton 12. In tbe oratorical coutest Atbena won first in division O and second in division B. Everything considered, tbe Athena Bohool did well and the contestants have every reason to feel elated over the results. The test of feeling exists between tbe two sohools and all aware of this loot are at a loss to understand the East Oregoniun'g perverted and er roneous statements regarding the in efficiency of the Association officials. The o'fioials were competent in every way and tbe meet was finished one half bonr earlior than it waslast year, when a lesser number of competitors participated. True, the tiaok was not in good condition, but would tbe Roundup traok have boen any better, weather conditions taken into consid eration? The misstatements made ty the East Oregoninn relative to tbe oiatorioal contost are as glaring as those it makes witb reference to tbe traok naoet. Troth of the matter is, Pendletou did not soore in tbo contest, for the reason that there were no third honors. She bad but one contestant. He oompsted in division A with four others and was defeuted by tbe con testants from Weston and Milton. Atboua is not given mention even, of bur winnings in tbe contest, by tbo Pendleton paper, for obvious reasons. For its information it is stated bore tbat Atbena took first honors in div ision C and soooud in divisiou 13. It theto were any "lack of systematio management and capable officials" at the meet, tbo fact was not ob served by those in attoudauoe. Witb snob men as I. E. Youug of Milton, Trof. Davis of Weston, Prof Asbabr of Tendletou and Prof. Wiley of Ath ena, on the job, the moot was to all appearances at luust, oouducted witb ns muoh Ability as when tbo East Or egonian sporting editor aud atbletio authority assisted in an odiolul ca-rHClty, For some time past Industrial Work ers of the World, an organization of maloontents, ,bave been preaohicg their incendiary principles all over tbe Northwest. Investigation shows tbat the most of their members are not native-born Americans; bat men who bave received the rights of citizenship from this country. Realizing tbat naturalization bas been a little too free, Judges Hanford and Frator of Seattle oonrts are making it harder to get papers. They are examining all candidates more carefully, as a re sult of wbioh many have lately been refused. This is regarded as a step in tbe right direction. . Some day Alaska's needs are to be recognized. This prediction is based on tbe fight now waging for Alaska and the headway tbat is being made. Tbe lower house of Congress has jrier passed tbe borne rale bill, wbioh indi oates tbat things are going forward, More important at this crisis than tbe Presidency, is Congress; and in Con gress, more important than a Demo oratio or a Republican majority, is a majority of Progressives regardless of party. This is tbe reason tbat Pro gressives of both parties sboold cross party lines to eleot a Progressive of the other party rather than a react ionary of their own. As a result of tbe investigation into the Titanic disaster it goes witbont saving that a lot of very stringent ma rine laws will be enacted on both sides cf the world. Tbe English press is indignant over tbe inadequacy of safe guards required under tbe laws of that country. The laws are old and hence not in accord with modern shipping conditions. The Congress of this conn- try will also probably make some rad- oal changes in the marine laws gov erning ships hat cany passengers, Wtb ample precautions, all of the Titanio's people might bave been saved. By Lis own admission, Seuator Dourno was defeated boaause ouly sis newspapors gave soppoit to bis oaudi adcy, Ills record as a senator was of such little oousequenoe and tienetlt to his constituency tbat douttlosa the support of the six papers wag of a paid advertising nature. Aud Jouatban should know wheroof bu spoaks. When lio was elootod to the miuiitis. there were tat fow papers in Oregon that did not carry bis advertising matter, Iiaid for by him at roRulur rates. This year lie lay back on his oars, so to speak oud relied on his record to oany him through t.ud got wtiat uine teutbs of the people of Oregon wonted him to get dafout. Uourne never repi event ed Oregou. He is aud always was a misllt. He merely held bit residence in Oregon where he paid ouly $3.15 tal cs, for political purposes, aud hood winked the people iuto making him souator and now the "bopdwiuk is where it belongs on Jonathau Jr. The heirs of tbe dead rueu and wo men of the Titanic 'a crew will re ceive almost immediate money com pensation teooute the White Star company, biirg a British corporation, is subject to the Euglish Workmen's Compensation Law. So the surviving Keanieu wbo were injured will re ceive tiruilar automatic compensation for their iujutisa. If tbe .White Star Tbe first grand opera dealing witb tbo Paoiflo Northwest has reoeived a successful launobing on tbe stage. It is oalled "Narcissa," and deals witb tbo missionary passion of Marous Whitman and bis wife, Narcissa. Tbe musio was written by Mary Carr Moore and her mother, Sara Pratt, wrote the libretto. The four perform- auoes rcoentlly given in Seattle in a semi-professional way were ample to demonstrate tbe unquestioned merit of tbe work. It is all the more inter esting booause it is said to be tbe first grand opera ever composed by a wom an. Two new experiment farms bave just been completed iu Crook Connty oue near Metolins aiyj tbe otbei near Redmond. They are to be operated under the direotiou of tbe Oregon Ag ricultural College, wbiob is suflioient gaurautee that they will be operated ou a practical basis and it is believed they will do nmob toward solving the problems new settlors are meeting witb in tilling tbe dry farming and irtigated lauds of the iuteiiar of tbe state. and entered, has appointed Monday, tbe 3rd day of Jane 1912, at tbe boar of ten o'clock in the forenoon, as tbe time, and the Connty Court hoase of said county and state, as tbe plaoe, where objections and exceptions to the said final account and report will be heard and tbe settlement thereof made.

The ourreni your, it it said, will prove one of the best periods in the history of the lumber industry, tbe de mand for forest products of Oregon boing tbe best eiuoo tbe peiiod follow ing tbe Sau Francisco fire, when the foiests of tbo Northwest were drawn upon heavily to rebuild tbat city. Prosperous conditions iu the lumber trade will to felt generally through out Oregou, so widesptead is this in dustry. Oregon did not forget Teddy. How ever, tbo result of tbe primary elec tion was a surprise to tbe most con servative, for t he reason that it looked to be all for Tuft.
