cATHENA, ORE.. 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eua outdated Pendleton bat laoked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

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

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

Prosperous conditions iu the lumber
trade will to felt generally through

dustry. Oregon did not forget Teddy. How
ever, tbo result of tbe primary elec

to be all for Tuft. When tbe test
