SHOULDER-RUB AT CLUB IS BIO
. .- . .. SUCCESS. ,
Several Speeches,. Band Music. and
'' . Lemonade on Top.
'" At the "shdulder-rub"' last evening
in the Commercial club rooms a large
number gathered and for two hours
listened to speeches by A. W. Peerly,
superintendent of efficiency of the O.
W. R. & N. company, Richard Buck
ley, trainmaster, Judge J. W. Knowles,
PeterBiever, who talked from an em
ploye's standpoint, T.- J. Scroggin and
F. L. Meyers, who spoke from the bus
iness end of a -railroad pay roll town.
It was the "Wake" in celebration of
C. M. Humphreys, secretary of the
club, who -retires at the end of 'the
month and enters the commission busi
ness where he expects to "make an
honest living" in the future. '
The evening's program started with
two rousing numbers. from the new
augmented La Grande band. The chief
speaker of the evening, A. W. Pearly,
was then introduced and for more than
an hour he held everyone's attention
with bis delineation of the attitude .of
the public toward the railroads of the
country. His mission in life is to re
duce the expenses of . a railroad and
to get greater efficiency in every de
partment. , He called attention of the
engineers to the fifteen pounds of coal
used every time a locomotive is al
lowed to "pop" and after multiplying
that fifteen pounds by all locomotives
on the system, it showed tremendous
exnense. He showed where -railroad
companies were cutting out the use of
envelopes between auierent depart
ments because) of the saving. There
are 'but illustrations of the economy
being used by ' transportation com-
fianies. Touching upon the drastic
aws adopted which affect railroads
Mr. Pearly insisted that what contin
uation of the feeling against corpora
tions and adoption of one law after an
other demanding extra expense in the
different states; with the government
setting the selling price of transpor
tation snd the advance in labor and all
commodities necessary to build and
operate railroads the outlook for fu
ture development is poor. Less than
five per cent was earned to stockhold
ers in railroads last year, according to
Mr. Pearly, and today it is next to im
possible to get money for railroad ex
tension. The Frisco and other .r ail
road systems of the middle west nd(
east have gone into rectfver's hahds
of late and the speaker attributed this
due to the refusal of a raise in freight
rates by the Interstate Commerce com
mission and the added coet of opera
itcn. ;- -
Richard Buckley dwelt for some lit
tle time on the question of fairness to
railroads but he took the viewi that
everyone would yet be happy and that
the people would in due time hasten
to repair damage done as quickly as
they have acted in bringing on the
damage. ,.,''
, Both Mr. Scroggin and Mr. Meyers
voiced the sentiment of La Grande
when they told of the welcome pay
rolls of the O.'-W. R. & N. to this city
and paid high tribute to the quality
of citizenship among the railroad em
ployes stationed at La Grande. .
Pete Biever, who has run an engine
on this road for years and years, spoke
in an interesting manner of the part
the railroad employes take in the
great transportation machine and voic
ed sincere appreciation of the way the
company and this city treats railroad
people. "It is only a question of mak
ing good and beinjf a man," remarked
Mr. Biever, ''and I am proud to state
that railroad population of La Grande
share my view along these lines. ' .
Following the speech making a get
acquainted period followed and the
pool and billiard tables worked over
time the remainder o the evening.
Lemonade was served as refreshment,
with "Die" Stageberg as master of
ceremony. i '

C. E. Deal is a very devout minis
ter; one wouldn't have to consider his
clerical garb to reach that conclusion
for his behavior is aiwaye sober, dig
nified and all that preacher's mem
should be. That' is neither here nor
there, however, about his name. Rev.
Deal had set sail for Kalamazoo and

U1B lniliai Buwa lor. inv inipuriaiice

Portland newspaper man had occasion
to interview Rev. Deal, who was then i
in La Grande, and in writing his
story, the Portlander played to that

rooted in patience and done with calm
disinterested deliberation;-'menace on
our part would be useless and fraught
with every risk of wrong' and folly.
We cannot afford to exercise restraint
as a great nation realizing our ex

it. . It was our duty to offer assistance
and now it is our duty to show what
neutrality will do to' enable the Mex

further opportunity to offer friendly
counsels, the doors are not cloked for
the resumption of negotiations upon
Mexico's initiative or upon ours." . .
At 11 this morning the Mexican sit

The president is still undecided as to
whether or not he will read his Mexi
can message to congress this after
noon. If it is possible he wants' to
see Huerta s latest note Deiore reveal
ing his policy through his appeal to
congress. Charge d'Af fairs O'Shaugh-
nessy cabled tne state department ear
ly today that riuerta sent a note to
Emissary Lind, who is at. Vera Cruz,
prepared to start home. It is believed'
that the president will keep congress
in session until the dispatch arrives.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, saw
the president today, and it is believed
that he will aiianee to furnish a war

that the entire courtty was dry as a

examination board but he is an ardent
Emmett booster and when his official
duties and circumstances will permit
he talks - principally of. cantaldupes.
That , is the main thing that Emmett
raises, outside of good church contri

from that precinct has qualified for

He brought a choice lot with hin: just
