Resolution Passed Unanimously
Against any Change In Method of
Selecting Marshal and Recorder.
At tho cnllcd meeting of tho Com
mercial Association Saturday night,
resolutions wcro unanimously passed
asking tho legislature to inako no
change In tho city's charter as af
fecting the method of electing mar
shal and recorder Tho resolutions" as
passed wcro as follows;
Whereas, It has been brought to
tho nollco ot tho Commercial Associ
ation that a petition lias been pre
sented to tho Oregon legislature ask
ing that a change bo mado in tho
charter ot tho city of Pendleton, mak
ing tho prcsont appointive olllccs of
marshal and recorder eloctlvo, aiut
lecognlzlug that such a change would
put tho city govornmont In tho snmo
quandary that It wns In during tho
tlmo that said offices word eloctlvo,
whon tho mayor nnd tho council wcro,
at cross purposes with tho marshal
and recorder, and romomberlng that
tho results of such administrations
ot such olectivo olllccs ot marshal
and recorder havo been In a number
of Instances failures, nnd for the ad
ditional reason that tho appointive
law has only been oporatlvo a Uttlo
more than one year, not long enough,
to glvo It a fair trial, therefore:
Bo It resolved, Thnt tho Commer
cial Association of tho city of Pen
dleton does hereby memornllzo tho
members of tho Oregon legislature
and especially tho members of this

thoy do not at this tlmo amond In any

New York's Civic Birth.
Now York, Fdb. 2. There woro flags
flying from the public buildings today
In token of tho fact that tho city of
New York is just two hundred and fif
ty years old. It was on February 2.
1CB3 that New Amsterdam became a
city by virtue of a decision reached
by tho Amstordam Chamber of tho
West Indian Company. In 1CC4 tho
namo was changed to New York and
the first mayor was Thomas D. La
vail. It is very doubtful if tho first
mayor evor dreamed of tho great
changes that would be wrought undor
tho administration of his successors
during the noxt two and a half cen
turies. In tho western metropolis at
that time any ono who would promise
to build on the south sido of Wall
ttrcct received tho land for nothing.
Today It Is difficult to obtain It at any
price. In Uiose early days partrldgoa
were shot cjoso to Bowling Green,
and "the JSnglish pirates wero annoy
ing?" Negro slaves were purchased
from tho Blavo ships.

First Accounts of the Affair Exagger
atedManager Melzer Offers $5000
Reward.
Baker City, Fob, 2. First reports
of tho large oro steal that has boon
tarried on systematically in tho North
Polo mlno, for somo time, were great
ly exaggerated.
Manager ICmll Mcl.or, of the North
Polo, has offered a rownrd of f,000
for tho apprehension of tho eni'ty
parlies.
Detective D. L. Clonee. of Portland,
who Is connected with Thiol's Detec
tive ngoncy, worked as a miner In Mia
Columbia for months and Id credited
with ferreting out ho nnso, from tho
most Insignificant beginning.
It is Impossible to tpll how king
tho robbery has boon going on or to
maho a rorsonublo guess as 'to tho
amount of cold curried out by 'tho
thloving miners and to ihoir equally
guilty eonfcdotnles on tho oiitsldo.
Since the subjoct has bten opened
up, evidence oi nigii nanaou roimcry
in all tho prominent mines oi in
Suinptor district, has corno to light.
The North Pole Is not alono In this
matter, but tho aojeonda. Columbia,
Red Boy, Bonanza and Psycho mlnoa
all -bear evidence of having been rob
bed syntomntleally for months pant.
A sweeping Invcdiisation vHl ha
made through all tho camps and H Is
quite likely that tho rigid system of
oxamlnlng tho mlneis when they come
cut of tho works onch shirt will ho In
rtalled In I ho Surnpter and Bourne
mines. The class of Jnlners worklnj?
h, this district has beon so excollent
that the companies havo been loath
to put this custom into execution hut
lato developments show that their
tonfldenco has boon grossly abused.
While tho amount of rich oro filch
ed from th jplnes cannot bo ritlinat
ed with ciitnlnty. It Is evident that
prominent persons both In Portland
sr.d Baker City will bo Implicated ill
the unfortunate affair, hoforo It Is Bot
tled. Potorsop, the miner who was
arrested last Wednesday on suspicion,
Ih reported to have turned state's ev
idence and rovealed the entire plot.
