This fervent cry echoed and re-echoed through ancient Westminster Ab bey today when the imperial crown, signifying rulershlp over tho greatest empire the world has ever known, was placed upon the head of George the Fifth by the Archbishop of Canter buury. The actual coronation of tho mon arch was preceded by ceremonies me dieval in their pomp and all but bar baric in magnif'.cencc and grandeur of display. Through streets lined with millions of People from every nook and cor ner of the earth, guarded by fifty thousand troops, the king. In his state coach, attended by carriages and gen erals on horseback, proceeded to West minster Abbey. At the west door of the famous ed ifice the royal coach halted. The kings and queens, tho pr'nees and princesses, the nobles and special delegates of all nations who filled the abbey to overflowing, arose as King George entered. At that moment a ringing "Vivnt!" rank out which sig naled that the boys of Westminster School had performed their historic duty. The Westminster choir sang nn anthem, Psnlm cxxli, 1-3, 6 and 7, as tho king, accompanied by tho aueen. passed up tho body of the church and knelt at "faldstools" in prayer. Ceremony of Recognition. Then cuii'i' t lie quaint ceremony of the recognition." The archblBhop of Canterbury, turning to the four points of tlio compass, addressed tho. assemblage: "Sirs, I here present unto you K ng George, the ' undoubted king of the realm: Wherefore, all you who are come this day to do your homogo and services, are you willing to do tho same?"

In addition to the members of the committee President Smythe and Secretary Keefe were also In at- III "God save King George!" rang out In unison from the loyal subjects. Then the trumpets sounded, and the ancient ceremonials of the crowning of Britain's klnes went on and on. while outside the patriotic millions of modern London howled themselves aoarse, rorgcuui ir wie muin.-ni i h spirit of democracy which is abroad in the land and which ha1- reduced the king and his noble t) tii-s status of puppets. King Takes Oath. Following the litany, the Intro t and the sermony the king took :h" oath, which was as follows: "Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the people of this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the dominions thereto belonging, according to the statutes in parliament agreed on. and the re spective laws and customs of th same. Will you to your power cause law and justice, in mercy, to be exe- cuted in all your Judgments? Will you to the utmost of your power main tain the laws of God, the true profes sion of Ihc gospel, and the protestnnt reformed religion established by law? And will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline and government thereof, as by law established in England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline and government establish ed in England, and to the churches there committed to the ir charge, all such rights and privileges.- as by law- do or shall appertain to them, or any of them?" Then the king, the sword of state carried before him, proceeded to the altar, and, uncovered, his right hand upon the great Bible, took the oath. Next came the anointing with oil. The king wns divested of his crimson robes and four Knights of the Garter held over him a pall of cloth of gold. while the choir chanted: "Zadok, the I'riest, and Nathan, tho prophet, anointed Solomon king; and all the people rejoiced and said: Long live the king.

Discussing the subject informally the members of the committee mu jtually agreed that an earnest effort should be made towards securing low er rates on electricity nnd gas in Pendleton and the impression pre vailed that Pendleton has not had fair treatment as compnred with Walla Walla and some other Washington towns served by the Pacific Power & Light company. It was decided to open the cam palgn for better rates by first secur lng accurate data as to the prices charged for electricity and gas in this city and ether places similarly located PENDLETOX, OREGOX, TRAIN BANDITS AUK TRAILER TO COOS COUNTY Portland, June 22.

LACK OF ENTHUSIASM N IKON DISCIPLINE OF K1TCIINER IS CAUSE Several Persons Are Seriously Injured When Police Cliis.li With Crowd l ittle Incident Cannes Titter of No tables. London J'.riv 22. Lord Kitehner threw a wr-t blanket over the whole coronation festivities. Deeply d s appointed over a comparative lack of enthusiasm over his crowning, King George is reported to have sum med up his chagrin with the lemark to the effect that the iron discipline of Lord Kitehner jho had charge of the troops along the route Kept thou sands from witnessing the procession and marred the free expressions of the opinion of the crowds. It is be lieved that he will not be popular w.th his majesty hereafter. Utile Incident Amuses. Only a l.ttle incident marred the ceremonies in Westminster Abbey. That was when Lord Kitehner stum bled over a page and nearly measur ed his length on the floor. It' caus id a titter among the notables. One of the most serious mischances of the day occurred at Trafalgar Square just before their majesties arrived. The police were clearing the way for the procession. The spectators re sisted and when the police were driv en back until reinforcements arrived, when the crowd was pressed back and several were seriously injured in the clash. All along the route of the pagean during the return trip there was much confusion. It had been re ported there was plenty of room along certain parts of the route and hundreds of thousands crowded to ward the spots. In every block many spectators and soldier? collapsed un der the terrific pressure, and ambul ances were busy carrying away those who fell." Few Americans Present, J. Pierpont Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tuft and daughter, were the only unofficial Americans to witness the coronation of King George today in Westminster Abbey. Mr. Morgan present at the express "command" of his' majesty. iVfllER BOARD BEADY From iippearanoes at this lime the ity water commission will be forced to bring suit to condemn the land and to acquire tife to the springs at Thorn Hollow desired as a source of supply for the new water system. Up to this time the members of the board have sought to purchase the springs by private. However the two squaws, We-nix and Wel-nl-at-sa-nil, who own the land have been urged to "hold up" the board and the liberal offer the board has not yet been ac cepted. According to Chairman Brown of the water board We-nix was offered $2500 for the spring on her plae and for 26 acres of land adjoining it. It is considered n very liberal offer. However the Indians have not yet ac cepted their terms but on the other hand have employed Attorney H. I. Watts of Athena to represent them in the case. Unless an agreement is reached nt oiite a condemnation suit will be started within a few days, according to Mr.- Brown. TopKcrs Hold Congress. Vancouver, B. C, June 22.

The United States circuit court for the dis trict of Delaware yesterday handed down a decision declaring that the alleged uowdc-r trust which is domin ated by the E. I. Dupont de Nemours company, is a combination in restraint of interstate commerce, and decree ing that the combination shall be dis solved. The action against the powder trust was begun by the government in 1907 and was directed against 43 cor porate and individual defendants. The suit as to 13 of the defendants was dismissed because some of the con cerns are out of existence or it was not shown that they were parties to the combination. In an interloctory decree the court fixed October 16 as the date to hear both sides as to the nature of the in junction to be granted nnd consider a plan for dissolving the combination "to the end that this court may as certain and determine upon a plan or method fur such dissolutloin which will not deprive the defendants of the opportunity to recruit, out of the ele ments now composing said combina tion, a new condition which shall be honestly in harmony with and not repugnant to the law."

TRACK MAY BE LAID ON UN STREET CARS WILL, CARRY GIRDERS FOIl BRIDGE Coast ISi-idgc Company Asks Council for Permission to I.ay Rails from Railroad to Transport Material for New Structure. Pendleton will probably see the first track ever laid through Slain street within a short time but unhappily it will not be for the purpose of running electric cars throutrh the principal ! I thoroughfares. In fact the motive power will be a donkey engine and the only cars to travel over the steel rails will be Iiat cars bearing the great steol girders for the Main street bridge. At the meeting of the city council last n'ight Mayor Murphy asked ' tht street committee to consider an ap plication from the Coast bridge com pany for permission to lay rails from the railroad track to the bridge site for the purpose of transporting the girders without unloading them. Each girder is so large that three cars are required to carry it so- something of the magnitude of the task of unload ing them and moving them several blocks can be gained. It is very probable that the coun cil will grant the desired permission as the company is willing to make itself liable for any accidents or dam age. The steel will arrive here early which Is an indication that there will be no delay in the completion of the bridge. Sewer Ordinance Passed. The ordinance for the extension of the sewer system to the asylum grounds was placed upon its final passage last night and carried un animously.
