Owners of Machines Will Try for Rec ords on Frazier Track Mile Made Yesterday In 1:30 All Autolsts Invited. CASTOR I A For Infanti and Children. Tha Rind You Have Always Bough) Local automobile owners who are curious to ascertain the speed of which their machines are capable, will gather at the Frazier track on Tu tuilla Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. Frank Frazier and his men have been employed for ten days in putting the. track in condition for the trials of speed and he says it is now In fine shape for the tests. One machine made the mile yesterday in 1:30, which, while somewhat slower than Barney Oldfield's time, is still pretty good for a circular track. It is ex pected that this record will be greatly reduced Sunday morning. There are a number of high power machines in Pendleton and vicinity and during the past few weeks there have been numerous discussions as to the relative merits of the different classes and kinds of cars. It is ex pected that some of the largest of them wil be capable of making a mile a minute record. The affair has been arranged by Mr. Frazier for the benefit of all the automobile owners and invitations are extended to all who own machines to witness and take part in the tests of speed.

C, Mar. 18. Mayor Morley created a sensation at a special meeting of the city council last night by declaring the affairs of the city are Improperly conducted. Our methods are unbusinesslike and its. apparent we don't deal with Im portant matters in a sensible fash hion" he said.

(Continued from page 1.) building of our theater and If the present theater Is not adequate or can not be made such that we should endeavor to induce capital to build a new theater. That in addition to this kind of entertainment we should ar range for a large auditorium where conventions and public gatherings can be held and that it should be the duty and business of practically every set of delegates or representatives to our state meetings to endeavor to secure at some future time the' various state meetings at this place offering as an Inducement our, suitable meeting place together with hotel accommoda tions and the hospitality of our com munity. More Irrigation. From a financial standpoint there are many things that we need. This county, teeming with natural resour ces, should endeavor to produce more, especially In the way of fruit, vege tables and meat, and we should en courage as far as possible Intensified farming in and around the city, so far as both the east and west ends of the county are concerned this matter Is well under way and it is only a ques Hon of time until it will reach the stage of perfection but it is certainly up to the citizens of Pendleton to list all the Irrigable land at least within ten or twelve miles of the city that can be located along the Umatilla river, Wildhorse, Tutuilla, McKay and Birch creek and endeavor to get the real estate men to list this property for sale and put It in such condition that within a short period of time it will be brought to a very high state of cultivation and that Pendleton will reap the benefit therefrom. In add! tlon to that there can probably be found some irrigative projects near the city that will very materially in crease the population and business of the city. That It Is up to the roads commit tee to endeavor to put the public highways within a radius of ten miles in as nearly a perfect condition as possible and at the same time they should endeavor to see that the streets of the city of Pendleton are kept commensurate with the finan ces. That a. great portion of our present population is of a class of people who have moved off their farms and ranches to the city of Pendleton for the purpose of availing themselves of our public schools. This is a mat ter we must look well to and endeav or to keep the schools up to the most proficient and at the same time en courage our, academic schools. We have in this city a nuclei for a ju nior college and if this institution can have some substantial aid we will have the only education institution of any consequence outside the public schools in eastern Oregon. I am inclined to think tnat a very important part of our work will de volve upon the "county Committee and "city Interests committee" tspeel ally when it comes to the question of taxation and the proper use of the public money. Few people object to paying taxes so long as they derive some benefit therefrom. But just so long as they are paying an actual sal ary list without any benefit In the way of betterment then they are whol ly dissatisfied, and right they should be. We must at once prepare for the location of tome of the public Insti tutions at or near Pendleton. And last but not least when stranger comes to town from another portion of the county or state even though he be not a stranger give him the glad hand and ask him to return and give him assistance and courte sies while here. A smile will cost you nothing, the handshake makes you friends, and good words make you money. Recapitulation. 1. Publish to the world our re sources and provide for money for this purpose. 2. Make Pendleton the social and financial center of the county. 3. Give all the aid possible to our transportation lines and expect re ciprocation from them. . 4. Give our own citizens and those who come in our midst some kind of entertainment. 5. Bid for conventions and state meetings. 6. Encourage Irrigation and In tensified farming near Pendleton. 7. Put our highways that lead in to Pendleton in good condition. 8. Keep our schools above the av erage and enrourage the Junior College. 9. Look well to your taxes. 10. Prepare for the Eastern Ore gon Insane asylum. 11. Give the outBlde man the glad hand. 12. And everybody boost. BILL TO ALIOW FOREIGNERS TO OWN JAP-LAND PASSES Tokio, March 18.
