EIGHT PAGES. DAILY EAST OHEGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON. MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1808. PAGE SEVEN. AMONG THE EXCHANGES OF THE INLAND EMPIRE Got Lecture I nut nd of Dance. President Bryan of the Washing' ton State college at Pullman will take the place of the entertainment which the juniors of the local high school had Intended to provide by their "prom," which was frowned out of existence by the school authorities, says the Yakima Kepubllc. It has been a custom for the Juniors to ban quet the seniors each year and the "prom" this year was proposed as a money-maker In order to defray the expenses of the banquet. As the dance did not meet the ap proval of the school authorities It was, of necessity, abandoned. The school officials then felt that as a matter of good government It was up to them to suggest something to the students to take its place. One teach er thought a "rose carnival," such as Is held annually In Portland, would be a good idea, but this plan did not look good to the juniors. Superintendent Reed suggested that President Hryan be brought here, the surplus funds received for tickets, If any, beturned over to the Juniors to defray the banquet' expenses. The Juniors took to this idea and It will probably bo carried through. A committee of tho juniors would be the guests of the juniors at a com plimentary banquet. The majority of the senior class has expresed it self as favorable particularly as It has been a school custom. This makes It practically certain that the second class will Invite the president of the state college from Pullman to lecture. storms during the winter, Dr. Pin kerton said, the wool has made t steady growth and is certain to have a much better staple than in most years. The Leon Jassuad and B. V. Davln flocks are In the best condition of any he has seen this season, and those in- this end of the county are better than those in Rltzvllle and Sprague territories. All sheep in Oregon were dipped last year 'and are now free from scab, though some may develop later on. Sheep in both states are in better condition than usual at this time of year and undfcr favorable conditions the flocks will produce large percentages of lambs. Washtucna Enterprise. Seelal Kates to Track Meet It was announced at the local of fices of the O. R. & N. company this morning that the company had decid ed to give a special rato of a fare nhd a third for tho return trip, upon the certificate plan, for those attend ing tho Trl-State Interscholastlc meet which Is to bo held under the auspice of Whitman college at Wal la Walla.

Northern Pacific local officials stated this morning Gardeners Hiihv With Truck Patches, Work In the gardens, both In the city and country, was begun at an unusually early date this season, be cause of the favorable condition of the soli and the weather, says the Yakima Republic. Progress is be lng rapidly made In the planting of early seed and sets. A larger acre age, It Is said, will be devoted to the garden this year than heretofore. There Is greater demand for the pro ducts of the ganden than has been generally satisfied by local garden ers at ordinary prices. As a matter of fact, good garden vegetables and choice fruits are as high in price in this valley as In the cities on the sound. Choice supplies In these lines are shipped away. It was said last fall that, in order to enjoy a really good peach or pear, residents of Yakima would have to go to Seattle, St. Paul or New York to obtain It. North Yakima people are promised better conditions in that respect this year. The fruit yield, If the average production prevails per acre, , will be practically doublod, while It is said that the garden truck acreage will he nearly twice as great as that of last year. M'HOLME BOUND OVER, Alleged FalM Solicitor for Oregon lan Must Stand Trial at Baker City. Baker City, Feb. 29. James Mc Holme appeared before justice of the Peace Alf Currey and was bound over to await the action of the cir cuit court on the charge of obtaining money under false pretense. About three weeks ago a warrant was Issued for McHolme on the charge above stated, and he was ar rested in Pendleton and brought back to this city. It appears that he had represented himself as an agent of the Portland Oregonlan. He took several subscriptions, obtaining about $10 and then went to La Grande. He did not send the money to. the Ore' gonian, nor did he send In the name of the people whose subscriptions he had taken. When the people here did not re ceive their papers, they informed W. A. Balrd, the local agent, who Inves tigated the matter, with the result that McHolme waa arrested. The ac cused man says he wrote to Balrd from La Grande telling him tht he would 'make everything all right as soon as he could earn the money. Balrd says he received no such letter. When confronted with the evidence McHolme admitted that everything was true as 'stated; that he had tak en the money for subscriptions; that he had no sent in the names to the Oregonlan, but he does not think that he committed any crime, as he in tended to make everything square. He is a man of 65 years old, but ap pears much older, and does, not look like a pearson accustomed to croked dealing. When being taken from the jail to the Justice office he appeared happy under the hope that he would soon be free, but was greatly crest fallen when the Judge gave his de cision. This Is the flrBt criminal case that has come up since the last term of court In January. TT The people who do not live in this city and yet who "do some of their shopping here," are important to those of our merchants who seek wider markets. These people read Pendleton newspapers, for they are "interested in this city," in its news.in its stores. Store advertising no longer optional it is as necessary as are clerks, stock, equipment; it is the only thing that makes these worthwhile. - ii Four Lines, in Daily, Weekly and Semi-Wkly $1 per month CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY Tuesday.
