Never In the history of transportation In the l.'tilted States has a great railroad been stricken so sorely lis was the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake by the midwinter thaw. In a twinkling the desert-born torrents Japped up a hundred miles of rails and embank ments, severed the steel bond between mountains and sea, and made of a busy avenue of commerce two disor ganized branches whose ends are lost in the wilderness. Millions of dollars of Investment temporarily profitless and hundreds of capable railroad men without employ ments are two results of tho disaster. J. Ross Clark, the second vice phes ident, said today before starting to IOS Angeles: "The weather conditions since the washout In the Meadow valley wash have been such that a thorough ex amination of the present line has not been possible, but as soon ns the weather will permit, the matter will be gone over carefully. y "In the meantime reronnolssances are being made on two other routes with "a view to ascertaining If a sat isfactory alternative is available, If it Is not found "feasible to rebuild the line through the Meadow valley." "MILLION AIRE POISONED RELATIVE SUSPECTED Kansas City. Mo.. Jan. 18. Physi-' cinns who examined the stomach of Chnel Thomas H. Rwope, the Kan sas City millionaire who died Octo- ! ber under mysterious circumstances. declared today they found evidence of strychnine. Swope's nephew, Chris tian Swope. died December 2. and It has becn established beyond all doubt that "there was poison In his stomach. It is suspected that both men were poisoned by some one who hoped to receive a portion of the ' Swope fortune after their removal. The examination of Col. Swope's stom- ' ach was ordered by relatives and made under the direction of Dr. ' Haines, the Chicago specialist. Coiiferenee of Governors. Washington. Jan. 18. The open-, ing bum in tho congressional campaign for general Interstate commerce leg islation was fired today, when the house committee on Interstate and foreign commerce held Its first meet- t lug. Plans were made to continue the hearings daily until all the de sri d farts have been obtained. 1 ' 'h.iirm.in Mann has announced that all bill amendatory of, supple mentary tn affecting the act to reg u'ate commerce, or atfecting the fa cilities for transportation, or regula- ' turns, and practices regarding trans portation, will be given a full hear- ' ing hy the committee. A clock that chimes always keeps time to the music, It is tho achievement of Uncle Joe Cannon to have made a mild mallet i as efficient as a battering ram. With a crowd of small boys pad dling along in the muddy streets af ter it, the big red goose from the Peoples Warehouse made a tour of the eity today, visiting tho schools and parading up and down Main street. The adjective "big" is hardly an ap propriate) one to describe the Im mense webfooted bird which Is here tc. advertise the far-famed Red Goose shoes for boys and girls. As he marched down the street flap ping his wings and talking In goose language to tho troupe of small boys running along behind and beside, he attracted the attention of hundreds of grownups as well as the small boy and girl. He will be In Pendleton for three days. One of the big show windows In Pendleton's great store has also been given over for a display of the shoes and the prizes .which every boy and girl In the city will have a chance of winning. The Prizes. The makers of the Red Goose school shoes for children desire to secure a number of good pictures of the fa mous red goose. They have decided to offer through the Peoples Ware house a number of prizes for the best drawings made by the school children. There are 15 big prizes for the 15 best drawings, but in addition to this, every boy and girl who draws a pic ture will get a prize. The big prizes are: First prize. $10; second prize, $5; third prize, $3; twelve prlves, $1 each. This makes 15 big prizes for the 15 best drawings. In addition to these, every boy and girl who makes a draw ing of the red goose and brings It to the shoe department will get a prize. This will be a copy of "The Red Goose Story Book" and one of the red goose souvenirs. There are very few rules to govern the drawing contest: Any boy or girl under 16 years of age can enter the contest. . You may draw any kind of a picture you like, either serious or humorous. You can make the drawings of the red gooae only, or It can be a scene in which the red goose Is a promi nent character. You can draw the picture in black and white with pen and ink, or pen cil or crayon, or It can be drawn in colors with crayon or water colors. You can draw one picture or as many as you like. There Is no limit to the you can enter. First the drawing must be made on a good clean sheet of drawing pa per or drawing board, about the same size as those used in the drawing class es in your school. Second Your name, your parents' or guardians' name, your home ad dress, you age at your nearest birth day and the name of your school must be plainly written on the back. Third The drawing 'must be brought in by yourself and handed in at the shoe department. (n excep tion will be made for those children who through sickness or misfortune cannot come in person.) The contest will close March 10, 1H10, and on or before that date all of the drawings must be presented. You can bring them in as much ear lier as you like. The prizes will be awarded two weeks later, as the com mittee will require about this amount of time to select the best. DINGY JACK WANTS T. R. TO REFEREE BIG FIGHT Boston, Mass. If Theodore Roose velt will consent to referee the Jeffries-Johnson fight, every difficulty in selecting an arblter for the cham pionship battle 'will be swept awa. Johnson wants the former prcsl- I dent to bo third man In the ring. I Roosevelt's attitude, should be be of- fered the Job, apparently is causing ; the black fighter little worry. j Following the publication of a let- ter from the hunter-statesman to Tony j Gavin, a former Rough Rider, In j wh'h he displayed a passing Inter-j est in the fight and discussed the; mer- Its of the fighte rs, Johnson today de- i dared: j "Roosevelt as a referee would suit i me to a queen's taste. He has boxed j himself and knows the boxing game. ! He Is fair minded and impartial, and he has a cool head. The crowd would-1 not got his goat as it would many other fellows He sure would be the man for the Job." The Incongruity of a former presi dent of the United States acting as a Judge in a prize fight, as suggested by Johnson's friends, made little impres sion upon him. ' , "Roosevelt Is a sportsman." he de clared, "and there should be no rea son why he shouldn't referee a square sporting proposition like this. There's no reason why he shouldn't be asked to do it. anyhow."

The People's Ware house sells Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes because they are all wool and tailored right. Again has the decadence of the drama been dlsproven. The presen tation last night of Sir Gilbert Parker's noved, "The Right of Way," has fortified the fast-ebbing faith of local patrons of the play la this par ticular type of attraction. The piece was saved from the brutalities of barnstorming by a cast of genuine talent. Foremost among; the leading parts must be mentioned Hallet Thompson as Charley Steele. Throughout the metamorphosis of this character, which forms the theme of the play, Mr. Thompson's portray al satisfies all those who have read the book; as "Drunken" Charley Steele, the dissolute young barrister, endowed with a masterful Intellect and brilliant abilities, yet whose eter nal questioning keeps him without the pale of faith and love; the con firmed cynic, who derides and sneers at those things which his fellow be ings hokt most sacred; who contemns life and laughs at death, and whose destructive genius enlists others in his hopeless existence; and then as the recreated dweller of the hills, with no memory of the past; and fi nally as the man of the new awaken ing finding the salvation of life and the manifestation of God through the agency of love; Mr. Thompson's act ing meets with the approval of his audience. However, the laurel wreath must be placed about the brow of P. Au gust Anderson, who as Joe Portugals, assayed a difficult part in a manner that repeatedly brought him applause. He has the ability so rare in stage artists to project himself Into the personality of his part, and in the character of the French Canadian river men, rough and barbaric, prim eval in his passions, and yet honest and loyal at heart, he walked and talked, laughed and sang, lived and moved. His expression in his perfect patois cf the fierce emotions of his kind, was in Itself enough to lift him above the herd of mediocre actors. Arleen Hackett as Rosalie played the simple and loving maiden with a rare grace and by her winsome man ners saved several situations from ro mantic tenseness.'. The minor parts were all well 'car ed for, which added greatly to the general high tone of the play.. Briefly summarized, it was a good production of a good dramatization of a good novel.
