Bernard O'Gara, Sec-Treas TRACK IS DONE Today marks the close of j.he first installment of work in the creation of Roundup Park and the beginning of the second. By tonight the last bit of surfacing on the track and arena will have been finished by Superin tendent Heine and turned over to the association and men are already at work on the forms for the concrete piers upon which the great grand Ftand Is to rest. The first shipment of lumber for the grandstand, con sisting of two cars, arrived this morn ing from Tacoma and Is being taken to the grounds. By Monday the piers will have been set and the work of erecting the best grandstand In the inland empire will be under way. People who have not visited the rark since work on the track has been under way should saunter out West Court street some afternoon and take a look at the finished Job. The windstorm of last Saturday carried away some of the surface dirt but not enough to do any material damage. The showers of yesterday were a godsend to the grounds for the loose dirt was packed sufficiently to keep It from raising in a wind. It Is the Intention of the directors, however, to put a Fprinkler at work so that the ground becomes properly packed. The arena will be seeded down in or der to hold the soil and also to re lieve the barrenness of the park, so that when the first exhibition of the 1911 Roundup is put on the audience will gaxe down upon a track and arena that will reflect great credit upon the association and the city. No MuUt? for Panama. Instead of the familiar old tow path mule giant electric locomotives will haul the shipping through the world's largest canal. No steam lo comotive could hope to budge such a giant steamer as the Mauretania, which weighs 45,000 tons. The larg est and most powerful electric loco motives will be used, and to prevent them from slipping on the rails a third rail will be laid between the other two. This rail will be geared to fit a large cog-wheel which will give the engines a powerful leverage.

NAME IS WANTED FOR BASE BAIL TEAM Here Is a chance for some ingenious fan to secure a season pass to the lo cal ball games absolutely gratis. Man ager Nelson wants to christen his team with u name that will be sig nificant of the city. Last year the boys n the blue uniforms were called the "Colts" and they have been thus referred to this year but the name Is not popular. "Indians" too has been applied but It is apt to be confusing because of the fact that the redmen on the rtservatlon -have a baseball aggregation also. Therefore, It has been decided to ask any one with an idea for a name to submit the same to Secretary John Dickson and to the one who suggests the appellation that Is finally adopted, a season pass will be Issued.

FROST HANGER PERIOD. (Lewlston Teller.) This Is the critical time for fruit in the northwest. The warm days are bringing out the fruit blossoms, though the spring season is not yet far advanced. This fine weather' la liable to be followed soon by storms which may be succeeded by severe cold waves, with belowlfreezlng tem peratures and perhaps ruin of the fruit for the season. The prevention of loss from frost by the use of orchard heaters Is now a well recognized measure of practi cal utility, but it has not yet been giv en a general and thorough test In this locality. Many orchardlsts have not yet obtained any equipment for such work In the way of heaters and fuel. Even those who have the needed sup plies ready may be taken by surprise and may not be prompt In applying emergency measures. The weather bureau Is preparing to cooperate with fruit growers by giv ing them frost warnings PRICES CUT TO PIECES ON MEN'S SHOES Regular $5, $4 and $3.50 men's patent leather shoes many styles and sizes, now going at BED BOSTON STOBI Consul Henry S.

John ston of the Confederate army, throughout the war, MOVE LAUNCHED FOR. GREATER COMMERCIAL CLUB (Continued from page one.) has already announced that the three conditions which during the early spring months may be regarded as signs of frost are a clear still night; a moist soil and a high barometer. Lewlston Is one of the four weather bureau districts In the northwest where the fruit growers will be warn ed when the night Is cold enough to render smudges necessary. The proper use of smudges raises the temperature of an orchard from 6 to 6 degrees. The killing frost comes when the temperature falls below 25 or 26, and smudges should be started when it gets below 31 or 32. From 100 to 120 smudge pots per acre are needed, It Is said. The fruit growers should be forearmed against frost dangers by being forewarned. circulation.

No such reservation ran be made, however. In regard to Judge R. Llndsey's straightforward and powerful account of the genesis and development of the Denver Ju venile court. His stirring story, writ ten In collaboration with Harvey J. O'lliggins. was first published In Everybody's Magazine. It was then brought out In book form by Double day, pag.e & Company, under the ti tle, "The Beast." Xo Tlmo for Election. Dayton, Wash. Although the elec tion of school officers In the 43 dis tricts of Columbia county was sched uled to be held two weeks ago and In a few of the districts the farmers were too busy with farm work to give any attention to the elections. The result Is that directors will probably have to be appointed by the county school superintendent. It Is more profitable for you to ad vertlne to the man with a home than to the man In general. It la the home that requires your goods. It Is the home which gets the necessities and then the luxuries, and which la the backbone of trade. E. H. Sothern, apropos of April a, told at a dinner In New Tork a story about his famous father. "My father In his youth," he said, "was once playing In a romantic drama, wherein he made a tremen dous leap a leap from his lady love's tower to a mattress' behind a wooden rock on the stage far below. It was a thrilling leap and my father no doubt enjoyed the applause It won him; but one night he sprained his ankle and vowed he would leap no more. "So the manager hired a profession al acrobat to do the leap, made up as my father's counterpart, while my father would slip back under cover of the tower wall and descend to his dressing room by means of a hidden ladder. "The afternoon the acrobat came to the theater to rehearse he made the leap, and then he set up a loud complaint. "What's the matter?" 'asked a young member of the company, who happened to be In the theater. " 'Why,' said the acrobat, in a dls gusted voice, 'this here leap Is too tame. It's too easy. A man with glass eyes and cork legs could do It. .Vow, If they'd let me throw two flip flops In the air as I came down' "'Splendid!' cried the young actor. 'The very think!' " 'You don't think the boss would mind?" said the acrobat doubtfully. "'Mind?' Why man. he'll be tick led to death. Ten to one he'll raise your salary. "That evening when the great leap scene began, my father was gratified to see the acrobat, a perfect picture of himself, crouching In the shadow of the window. "Love, good night good night!' my father cried. " 'Stay!" moaned the heroine, and she threw herself on his neck. 'Stay! That leap is death.' "'Nay. nay, my dwn; 'tis honor. I leap, 'tis true, but there lfl that with in my heart will bear me up thine Image, love. And so, good night, good night!' "He kissed her madly on the brow, tore himself from her clinging arms, and rushed across the open space In to theshadow. " 'Jump!' he hissed between his te.-th. "And out, straight out Into the air, shot the acrobat. Twice his lithe shape whirled round like a great fly wheel. Then he lit lightly and easily on the topmost point of the wooden rock. "Hoars of laughter and thunders of applause shook the theater. The acrobat bowed stiffly and strutted off Into the wings with his arms folded. But the remarks of my poor father on his ladder have not come down to us." tions to close postlfflces on Sundays that the matter was being seriously considered. At present the carriers' window and the general delivery win. dow are kept open from 9:30 a. m. until 10:30 and this service has given both farmers and townspeople an op portunity to get their mall on Sun day. The arrangement has been es pecially convenient to the farming people who In the busy seasons can hardly spare the time during the week to come to the city. Postmaster Brown Is perfectly willing to continue the present service nnd thinks the remonstrance will have the effect of securing Its permanency. Strongly condemning any move ment towards the Invoking of the ref erendum on the Mils passed by the last legislature appropriating fund," for the maintalnnnce of the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricul tural college, the association last night adopted a re.solut'on Introduced by T. C Taylor, having for Its purpose the discouragement of the attempt be ing made to refer these measures to the people. The association took the attitude that such an attempt If suc cessful would mark Oregon ns a state that does not stand for higher edu cation which would have a great de terlng Influence on prospective set tlers. It was also decided that hereafter no firm memberships will be allowed. each partner In a firm being required to belong to the association as an In dividual. However, It was decided to allow all present members to re main In without the payment of Ini tiation fees. Twenty-four new mem bers were added to the association last evening ky the votes of the members. Invito Now Secretary Here. The association voted to Join with the Portland and Herm'ston Commer cial clubs n extending an invitation tc Walter L. Fisher, the new secre tary of the Interior, to pay Oregon a visit and particularly to Inspect per sonally the west side Umatilla pro ject. If such an Invitation should be accepted, Pendleton would have the honor of enterta'ning Balllnge's suc cessor In cff'ce for a short time. to Go After Colonist. Another action taken by the asso ciation and which may have a very beneficial effect upon Pendleton and vicinity, was the decision to Join with Hcrmlston or any other city In any reasonable proposition to secure more- colonists for Umatilla county. The method suggested by the project town Is the sending of a competent booster- as far east as Pocatello to distribute llerature on the trains coming west. The matter was referred to the com mittee on advertising and publicity for final settlement. . . Judge Llndsey Recognized. The Commercial association took official recognition of Judge Ben Llndsey, the eminent Coloradoan who will speak In the city tonight. A committee consisting of W. L. Thomp son J. P. Winter and A. J. McAl lister wis appointed by President Smythe to assist the committee on entertainment In welcoming him to the city and extending other hospi table courtesies to him.
