How Situation Appears Now.
Thla statement, coupled with State
'. Traaaurar.alar t Kir'l assertions of
yesterday that tha board had practi
cally d-ldd. tn an Informal way. that
,a superintendent of tha nw Inatliutlon
'would b of no practical value until
' tha Institution Is almoat romplefd.
mi to apell a speedy dismissal for
tha Bowiraun appolnl-o when tha new
board cornea Into power.
Much Interest la bring aroused hrra
ever tha promlaed effort of Haker to
train an appeal from tha decision of
tha board.
According? to testimony and reporta
ea flla at tha executive ofllcea in con
nection with tha aelectlon of a aita
for tha new hospital, tha burden of th
statements aeema to ba In favor of tha
liver-Carpenter tract at Pendleton,
which waa aelected by tha board.
The moat extensive report waa filed
by John W. Cochran and Included ex
haustive statements as to I'nlon. Pen
dleton and Baker. It la shown bareln
that tha average snowfall for 1 years
at tha respective points was 19 s-10 at
Pendleton, la 1-10 at I'nlon and 68 4-10
at Baker. It waa found there was no
trace of snow for seven months at Pen
dleton, five monrlis at I'nlon and three
months at Baker.
Prndlrtan'a Altitude Low.
Baker haa much the highest altitude
and Pendleton the lowest. Cochrana
report shows that experts consider an
altltu'le such aa Baiter's as peculiarly
adapted to the successful treatment of
persona afr.l. ted with Impaired men
tality or suffering from nervooa ex
haustion, but attached tn the report ta
a statement from the fhipertntendcnt of
the Northern Idaho A avium In which he
ears that an altitude of about 1000 feet,
with a mild and equaMe climate, ts
much preferable to a Higher altitude
and a colder climate.
It la shown that Pendleton's trans
portation fart:itlea are much superior,
that freljrht rates aa a rule are cheaper
and coat of transporting patlenta lower,
t'sing aa a basis to estimate the rnat
ef transportation It ta shown In the
veanlal report of Superintendent
itelner. of tha Salem asylum, that there
are 314 patients from tha 14 counties
that probably will be aenred br the
new Institution. The coat of transport
ing thee from their respective places
f commitment would be St Hits tn
Pendleton. li:;i.3i to I'nlon and 114:4.71
tn Baker, or at a coat per patient of
li t: ta Pendleton. 1 tl tn I nlon and
1 ta Baker.
Cochran further states ithat In each
elty a report was requested aa to
transportation facilities, aa the board
considered this a factor of considerable
Importance. According to the rinding
ef the board after passing on the quee
t'on of fretght and paescnger rales It
seemed to be the consensus of opin
ion that the rates In snd out of Pendle
ton were much the lower.
Baker's Water Supply Cotxl.
A to the water nirttn It I shown
tliat Baker haa a supply of mater of un
atllrg purity and a supply that would
be fti:ijr adequate to any need tlml tha
Institution might ra-e, while It Is also
rhown that IVndleton'a new gravity ss-
tem wi.i rurrush pure water In great
quantities, also adequate to the needs of
Cie Intltutltm.
In giving his testimony to the board
rr. Stelner stated, bnjang his opinion on
4ochran'a report aa to weather condi
tions, that Prndclton would be the logical
ate aa far aa climatic cordltlor. are con
cerned, lie staled that the climate at
Tendleton would furnish greater opportu
nity to keep the patlenta out of doors and
considered this an Important fct. But.
ba oe-larel. the greatest factor of all to
be considered la the water atipply. He
stated It I but a question of time until
It a til be ne l ary to establish a brem-u
asylum in Houthern Oregon and South
eastern Oregon and he advised the Hord
to take thia Into conHVrMtlon before
finally rasstng on the queetlon.
C W. Nottingham, wi.o atvomrsuited
Governor Boaernmn on hfa tour of In
spection of tha stt.s. stated emphatically
that I'vndleton should be the selection
because of climatic conditions if for
nothing else. lie stated that It was nec
essary to wear overcoata when they via
Ited I'nlon and Haker and that It waa
severely cold, white at Pendleton the cli
mate was mild and an overcoat scarcely
miiany.

President of Commercial Body Telia
of Advantages for Asylum.
FEXDLETON. Or.. Dec. ;9. (Special.)
"Pendleton waa selected for tha loca
tion of tha Eastern Oregon branch of
the Hospital for the Insane, because wa
were able to demonstrate to the board
that our advantages are clearly super
ior to those of either Baker or L nlon
declared President V. 1- Thompson, of
the Commercial Association, here to-
nlcht.
"There Ii nothing to these reports
from Baker that this city was aelected
through a political deal and I do not
believe many of the leading business
men of Kaker are behind these accus
tiona or that they will atand for them.
When I was In Portland tha last time
to confer with members of the board
and to present the claims of this city,
tha Baker delegation waa also there and
we agreed that In event of defeat we
would each support and boost fur tha
winning city. 1 therefore do not oeneve
these men will countenance the proposed
actions which Baker cltlxena are re
nor ted to be contemplating.
"By a table which we prepared from
tha Government records covering a
period of 20 years we demonstrated to
tha board that Pendleton's climate la
far superior to that of either B..ker or
I nlon. Outside of our rainiall ana sun
shine advantaces wa showed that on
tha average. Baker only haa three
months In the year when there Is not
soma trace of snow, while I'nlon has
ftva. and Pendleton nine. The differ
enca of !7i feet In elevation la. of
course, responsible for tha less rigorous
Winters in this city.
"Our transportation advantagea were
also urged as a good reason for locating
the asylum here. Being lit miles nearer
Portland and provided with competing
railroads, we were able to present tables
showing our freight rates to do mucn
lower than either of tha other cities.
The Initial cont of construction of the
buildings would therefore be much less
here and there would be a constant sav
ins- tn maintenance.
Tba fact that Pendleton Is tributary
to ten counties. Baker to four and
I'nlon to two. that Pendleton la nearer
the center of Eastern Oregon's wealth
and population, that the site selected ts
within wsiklng distance of the depots
of two lines of railroad, that It Is ex
actly on the main Una of tha O.-w. R.
a: X. and la supplied with a switch
track, were a few of tha many ad
vantages wa urged.
"The site selected for the building Is
high and sightly, the drainage good,
the water supply of the beat and the land
waa purchased at a price. o per acre,
cheaper than either of tha other sites
offered. This was made possible by rea
son of the fact that L as president of
the Commercial Association, secured op
tkons on the land at prices at which It
baa been offered for sale for the past
two years. In fact, we secured a well-
Improved Irrigated farm for a price that
Is far below that asked Mr unimproved
Irrigated land In other parts of thla
county.
"Iteporta from chemists who had re-
seatedlr analysed the water were aur
mltted to the board In refutation of tha
expected charge that the water supply
was not good."
Baker'a threat of an Injunction la not
taken seriously here. Judge 8. A. I-o-well
and other prominent local attorneys
ssy there are no legal grounds for such
action.
LOAN ORDER
MESTEKV VXIOX POSTS NOTICE
TO ITS EMPLOYES.
Company' Offer to I.end Money
Without Interest Intended a
Blow to rurera.
TV. A. Rnbb. manager of the Western
fnlon. last night received Instructions
placing In effect In Portlnn.1 the recent
order of the company to prevent "loan
sharks" from operating among employes
of the company. For some time the
company has been harrassed by the filing
of cUima saalnst the wages of employes
In many of these eases It developed that
the lender had taken advantage of the
distress of the employe and waa realis
ing usurious Interest on bis Investment.
Freoucntly thle led to driving the op
erator from town to town, the claim fol
ios Ing him aa .he went. The new order
reads: -
With a view to avoiding the distress oc
casioned worthy employes. It has been ar
ranged that under certain condlllena this
conpsnr will make advancea to employes In
good standing tip to a full months salary,
allowing them to pay tack In Installments
of not .ess than in per cent ef the amount
advanced each month and without any la
tere!, t'nder these arrangements 'l' loan
of moner at usurious rates of Interest by
one en-.ptore to another la strictly prohibit
ed and all salaries or wages due employes
shall ba paid direct la employee or an au
thorise member of their Immediate fam
ily either In cash or br check; to their order.
No orders or asalgnmenl of amounta to
emplorrs shall recognised except as to
the same are established by legal process.
This arrangement on the part of this com
pany Is made In order to afford relief In
bona fide cesea of urgent need, without en
couraging tha borrowing habit among
emploves. and no doubt will be appreciated
by those who are worthy.
The order wl!l be a boon to tha com
pany's employes," ssld Manager Rnbb
laet right. "It has come within my no
tice that the 'loan sharks' are of the pes
tering kind. They follow their man from
town to town and make the telegraph
operator a wanderer If they once get
their clutches on him. Of course the
company haa no way of resisting due
pro. -ess of law. it now endeavora to
relieve the annoyance by providing means
by whlrli they can borrow from the com
pany. We have here 10 employes In the
mnln office, aside from those In the sax
branrhra In the city. Our local employee
are not In the clutches of the loan eharks
to any great extent, so far aa I know, but
many cases have come wl:htn my notice
of operators who have come from other
towns, driven frequently to travel under
assumed namea
"The order wlU be of inestimable value
and will Improve the efficiency of the
force."

(Special.) Ona million dollars Is avail
able now for uaa on tha Klamath Irriga

W. W. Patch stated today that about
1400.000 waa left over for use on this
project, and la Immediately available.
Thia and the IbOO.OOO appropriated on tha
recommendation of the Army board by
President Taft for thla project runs the
total amount now up to tl.0c0.000 and
meana a large amount of work may be

ilr. Patch stated he expected more of
the 120.CKKI.000 appropriated for Irriga
tion projects, but that the amount given.
added to funds on hand, will go a long
way toward relieving Immediate neeua.
Mr. Patch was not prepared to aay
where the appropriation would be used.
He states, however. It Is likely the North
Poe Valley part of thia project will be
considered. There are about is.uuu
acrea In this valley which would come
under water from a lnterai running from
the main cannl. which is completed tu
beyond Lost River Gap through which
this lateral would run.
Only but one thing ta lacking in the
details for this part of the project and
that la the signing up of holdings '.f

which owns a large acreage which would
be covered by thla ditch.
Rex Bord. manager for this company.
has Intimated he Is ready to sign- for
water.
Engineer Patch also favors completion
of the south part of North Poe Valley,
This Is under the Horsefly reservoir
site. Farmers owing land tn that region
have signed to a great extent to pay
from HO to ICS for water from this
reservoir and the matter la also being
considered by the Secretary of tha In

shortly after his return.
I fully Intended to make announce

I left, said Mr. west, "but the Incoming
board reached the conclusion that It
would make no changes In the appoint
ments coming within the province of the
board until after the legislatures ses
sion, and I have decided to adopt the
same policy.
I have reached the conclusion that It
Is not the best policy to make changes
before or during a legislative session
The present officials should be in the
best position to furnish information and
conditions are Inclined to be unsettled
when there are changes of this kind Just
when the Legislature Is meeting.
The Oovernor-elect refused to throw
any light on what changes may be made
at the penl'entary and staled that tie is
not certain at thla time that there will be
any.
Members of tha board, as wen as
myself, sre desirous of Investigating con
ditions at the various Institutions to de
termine Just where changes are neces-
rv snd Just where It would he to tne
best Interests of the state to make these
changes, and all three of us hare defi
nitely settled on this policy."
He said tlint his message is not si yet
quite completed, but he la working It
over as rapidly as pnrsible. There will
be several recommendations embodied In
the document for the consideration or
the Legislature, but what these will be he
Is reticent about making public at this
time. It ia known, however, that ne win

giving a wider publicity to Oregon, and
he hopes to see a bill passed which will

and to Increase the proper kind of Immigration.
The Governor-elect has as mi principal
neraonal appointments the Superintendent

Mr. West says that his daughter Helen,
