BAKER, Nov. 12. Mob spirit be
came rampant for the first time ip
many years in Baker yesterday, and
for awhile it looked as if the results
might be serious. Shortly after the
football game, Officer C. B. Rodman
arrested "Blackie" Ellis, aged about
17 years, alleged to have been drunk.
While the policeman was on his way
to the police station with the prisoner
a mob formed about him, demanding
the release of Ellis, and upon the re

Henry Carnegie, Melvin Wham and
Jack Rossman, who had been arrested
earlier in the afternoon by the city of-
ficials on the charge of being intoxi-;the

former soldiers and Commissioner
George Henry, who prevailed upon the
leaders, attempts to break the side

After a short time, City Attorney
W. H. Strayer addressed those pres

vise the officials to turn the three
men loose, provided cither policemen

THE CAUSE OF DELAY
Secretary Wilson Has Begun Smooth
ing the Way For a Joint Conference
of the Minera and Operators In
Washington Tomorrow Both Sides
. Agreed to Attend. .
. WASHINGTON, Nov. l:i. The ap
parent unwillingness of all union coal
miners to return to work at the old
pay scale caused government officials
to put forth every effort Wednesday
to bring about immediate negotiation
of a new wage scale.
Secretary Wilson, without waiting
'for formal acceptance of his offei to
mediate the differences, began smooth
ing the way for the joint conference
of miners and operators he has called
to meet in Washington Friday.
Both sides noiifietl him they would
attend the conference. Spokesmen for
the mine workers said that if the mine
owners came in u spirit of conciliation
a new agreement could be framed nnd
ratified by Saturday night. Until an
agreement is formally accepted by the
minorsVscnle committee, labor leaders
said there was little hope of full re
sumption of production.
It was because of this possibility
and the steady drain meanwhile on the
nation's visible coal supply that Sec
retary 'Wilson undertook to induce
some of the miners and operators to
see the other fellow's side.
Secretary Wilson was greatly en
couraged at the readiness of the two
sides to meet and make a determined
effort to frame a wage schedule satis
factory to miners and operators, lie
was iiiite hopeful of success and this
feeling was shared by most officials.
Reports from mining districts in
Ohio yesterday showed I hat none of
the 40.000 striking miners hnd returfl-
d to work. In Iowa not a union mine
1
was in operation. Only four of trie
mines in the Kanawha, W. va
Is were working. Withdrawal of
strike order made no change in the
Colorado situation. While coal mines
in Indiana were ready for operation,
jfew men appeared for work.

CITY OFFICERS VOTE
TO DIG ONE 300 FT. WELL
Election Will He Held for Hie Bond
lag of tho City to the Extent of
t.'IOO.OOO to l.ay l'lpe Una np tha
Orando Hondo ltlver to Bcuver. -
The city commission last evening
took steps to increase the water
supply for the city of La Grande.
by voting to dig a well at an estima
ted cost of 112,000 to 113,000 and
to, lay a now pipe line up the Grande
Itonrte River to lower Beaver. Tha
estimated cost of the latter propo
sition is around 1300.000,- and will
be voted on by the citizens In the
noar future.
Engineer L. C. Kelsoy, consulting
etiRlneer, was prosont and gave, a
verbal report that the most feasible
proposition for the' future water
supply of La Orando, was to go to
Looking Glass. In this river Is suf
ficient water to supply the city In
tne future, and It Is of sufficient
olovatlon to bring It into the city.
Dut would mean an expense of be
tween 1700,000 and $800,000. The
water would, have to be piped for
40 miles, with 20 and 22 Inch pipe.
In speaking ot the Beaver Crock
supply, Engineer Kelaey said tu
change the pipe line would mean an
expense of I3G0.0OO. For the pros
ont usage, nrr.-KOisoy estimated rant,
the city noods 2,500,000 to 3,000.
000 gallons of water per day. And
tho future supply, said Mr. Kolsey,
would have to be by rosorvolr. Ho
estimated that 1,000,000 to l.GOO,-
000 gallons is the best that can be
obtained under tho present system
during tho dry season.
In a written report some tluie ago,
Mr. Kelsoy said there wore only two
temporary supplies obtolnable, ono,
to pump out of river, and the other,
to dig wells. Mr. Orundy, the com
missioner who said he was "first.
last and always opposed to wells,"
said last night tha the thought wells
were only a Rnmble, but that he
would be game and If ten people
would go In, mcludln g the two
commissioners present, he would
give 500 towards digging a woll.
Mr. McKennon suld that had no
money to gamble. Mr. Orandy furth- ,
er staled that- he believed In a pipe
line up the Orando Rondo river tq
Beavor creek, that ho thought too
much money had already been spent
on the Beavor Crok proposition to
abandon It altogether.
W. II-. Bohnenkamp, of the Ad
Cluh committee, of which a goodly
number were present, said that ha
understood tho railroad figured on
Pumping their water this coming
year, and that thoy had their nla.
chinory ordered. Their well at
present has only a naturul flow 'of
30 gallons to the mlnuto, while they
use COO, OOO gallons a day, therefore
necessitating the enlarging of their
well, and tin flow.
Mr. Bohnenkamp said he believed
In an auxiliary supply such as walls,
then If anything, goes wrong with
tho big supply, thorn is somothlrrg to
fall back on in an emergency.
Following Engineer L. . Kolsey's
report to tho compilssioners fhut V
the (illy did not think It was able
to go to Looking Glass for water
the next, best plan was .to build's
