TWO CLUBS FAIL TO
IT FIRST DAY
Journey for The Oregonian
Trophies May Be Opened
Next Sunday Instead.
FORFEITS ARE CONSIDERED
Board of Goyernors of Columbia
Willamette Trapshooters Asso
ciation Will Decide Action
That Is to Be Taken.
Through some misunderstanding, two
of the clubs in Columbia - Willamette
Trapshooters' Association failed to
shoot yesterday, although the opening
of the tournament for The Oregonian
trophies was originally scheduled for
yesterday. Both the Canemah Gun
Club, of Oregon City, and the Capital
City Gun Club, of Salem, did not con
test. The. Round-up Gun Club of Pendleton
shot and scored 111 out of a possible
125, and the Woodburn Gun Club
Btnashed 114 out of 125, the same num
ber credited to the La Grande Gun Club.
Astoria was not billed to shoot because
there are only seven clubs in the cir
cuit. But for all that the nimrods at
the Columbia metropolis got out and
broke 100 bluerocks.
La Grande was scheduled to meet Sa
lem, Woodburn was slated to shoot
against Oregon City, and Pendleton
battled the Albany club. Albany went
out in a high wind and smeared 107 of
the elusive clay rocks, while Pendleton
scored 111. Just what will be done as
to whether or not the matches should
be forfeited or the opening date set
until next Sunday will be decided by
the board of governors of the Columbia-Willamette
TrapshooterB Associa
tion. It may be that the schedule which
was printed in last Sunday's Oregonian
will be started next Sunday, that is,
yesterday's contests will be placed at
the end of the season and next Sun
day's schedule will be used as the open
ing. The final decisions will be made
by Thursday.
KEtLEY WINS 2 0-GAUGE SHOOT
Twenty-Two of 2 5 Bluerocks Are
Broken in Contest.
C. C. Kelley proved he was the better
shot with the 20-gauge gun yesterday
and as a result he is the new possessor
of the handsome W. C. "Bill" Bristol
20-gauge five-challenge trophy con
tested for by members of the Portland
Gun Club at the Everding Park traps.
Ten nimrods competed and five of them
either tied or defeated A. L. Zachrls
son, holder of the trophy up to yester
day's shoot.
Frank M. Templeton scored 21 out of
25 with the 20-gauge gun and took sec
ond place. Just one bird behind the
leader, C. C. Kelley. James W. Seavey,
Henry R. Everding, A. L. Zachrlsson
and A. Woelm each smashed 20 out of
the 25. The other scores in the trophy
match follow: E. H. Keller, 18; A. W.
Ktrowger, 16; John G. Clemson and J.
C. Morris, each 15.
James W. Seavey dropped but three
birds out of 100, while second honors
went to Dr. O. D. Thornton with 90.
Among those who shot at but 50 birds
and made sensational marks despite the
poor weather conditions are: E. H.
Keller, 48; A. W. Strowger, 47; Mrs.

Made at Shoot.
LA GRANDE, Or., April 15. (Spe
cial.) None of the other clubs in the
Columbia-Willamette Trapshooters' As
eoclation could have experienced the
difficulties encountered by the La
Grande Gun Club here today when the
members attempted to open the league
season ana compete for The Oregonla
beautiful cups. Snow and wind pre
vailed, but when the day's pleasure
was completed the count was 114

ASTORIA NIMRODS PRACTICE
Non-Contest Day Snooting Indulged
Against High Winds.
ASTORIA. Or., April 15. (Special.)
Because there are but seven clubs e
tered In the Columbia-Willamette Trap
snooters" Association one club was
forced to remain idle today. The lo
fell to the Astoria Gun Club and the
local shooters are mighty glad that they
did not have to break into active com
petition.
The wild wind blew across from the
Pacific Ocean, making it rather diffl
cult to judge the birds, but at that they
broke loo out or 125. Next Sunday As
toria will get Into the race for The Ore

WOODBURN" GUN SCORE IS 11
Weather Is Cold and Blustery, but
Five Shooters Are Out.
WOODBURN, Or., April 15. (Spe
rial.) Cold blustery weather greete
the members of the Woodburn Gu
Club in their first attempt to win on
of The Oregonian trophies and the
SHOE
championship of the Columbia-Wil
lamette Trapshooters Association. To
day was far from being ideal for blue
rocks, but at that five scatter gun ar
tists braved the weather conditions and
between them broke 114 out of a possi
ble 125.
Charles Leith led the field with a
possible" and every one of the 25 blue

today, and next Sunday will find Wood
burn battling against Lou Rayburn and
his classy La Grande, Or., representa
tives. La Grande made 114 out of 125
today against Salem, so local clubmen
are looking forward to a hard match
next Sunday.
PENDLETON DAY US F A V O RAIi LE
Score of 111 Out of 125 Considered
Gratifying Under Conditions.
PENDLETON, . Or, April 15. (Spe
cial.) A dark .cold day greeted the
Round-up Gun Club representatives in
the Columbia-Willamette Trapshooters"
Association, and a steady downpour
caused the marksmen to find poor aim.
The score of 111 out of a possible 125
is exceedingly gratifying, considering
the conditions under which the contest
ants labored for one of The Oregonian
trophies.
The score for the team follows: J. T.
McNurlen 23, C. Hamilton 23, Earl
Coutts 23, Dan Bowman 21, J. J. Hamley

John Peters 15, J. Winchester 11 and
A. L. Despaln 10. Hugh Poston, of San
Francisco, a professional, broke 25 out
of a possible 2a, and otherwise distin
guished himself with the scatter gun.
SHOOT NOT HELD AT CANEMAH
Practice at Traps Even Foregone to
Make Mark Next Sunday.
OREGON CITT, Or., April 15. (Spe
cial.) For some reason or other the
Canemah Gun Club, which has entered
the Columbia-Willamette Trapshooters'
Association in cempetitlon for one of
The Oregonian trophies, did not con
test today. The local shots did not
even practice today because they
wanted to make a grand splash next
Sunday.
The Canemah Gun Club shoots every
other Sunday during the Winter, but
now that the tournament season has
opened, every Sunday morning will be
consumed in shooting for the cups.
The day was far from being anything
like fair trapshooting weather here.

rangements are being made to have a
strong representation next week.

HOLY PASCH ENDED
Culmination of Greek Easter
Is Impressive Service.
RESURRECTION IS ENACTED
Congregation of Quaint Church
Make Religions Offerings In Mod
. lfled Form to Comply With
Law Again6t Fire Displays.
The hour 'approached midnight, and
the service of the Holy Peach, the
Easter of the Greek Orthodox Church,
was approaching its culmination. The
voices of the chanters were rising in
exultant clearness. The night before.
the tone had been one of despair, of
desolation, fitting accompaniment to
the sepulchral decorations. Then the
service had been one of death and
despair, commemorative of the cruel
fixion and burial of Christ.
The wailing voices' of the singers had
carried a message of sadness to the
patient audience who grouped closely
about the sepulcher erected in the
center of the church. They were all
standing, for there are 710 seats in the
Trinity Greek Orthodox Church at
Seventeenth and Taggart streets. The
men were gathered on the lower floor
about the altar, the women and chil
dren stood in the gallery. The only
sound, beside the mournfully Intoned
voices of the choristers, was the faint.
never ending shuffle of tired feet. The
pulsing candle light, that only seemed
to Intensify the gloom, vibrated In re
sponse to the mournful cadences.
Chant Less Despairing.
Last midnight there was a different
note in the chanting, the church v
brilliantly lighted and the gloomy sep
ulcher of the night before was dec
orated with flowers. The chant still
held its note of sadness, but the despair
was no longer present, even the eyes
of the worshipers held a new light.
the light of Joyous anticipation. Every
one held in his hand the brown twisted
taper that was to be his offering to
the arisen savior.
Simeon Emanuel, the priest, busied
himself making ready for his part in
the service. J. C. Sourapas, the presi
dent of the congregation, was here
there and everywhere, seeing that all
was in order.
Suddenly the music was hushed, the
voices were stilled, the lights went
out with startling suddenness. In the
minds of the worshipers this was the
hour before the dawn Just when the
new life of Christ was about to begin.
Voice More Exultant.
The silence was broken by the deep
bell-toned voice of the priest, and.
clad in fun regalia, bis widespread
black beard sweeping down over the
white vestments, he stepped through
the curtains at the rear and raised his
rreat voice In an exultant chant.
He carried a three-branched cande
labra in either hand, and there was an
orderly rush to light the offertory
tapers from the burning candles.
The lights were turned on again, the
voices rose higher and. higher. The
REMEMBER Turkish to-
bacco is the . world's most
EEE famous tobacco for cigarettes
priest swung the "Thtmiama" more and
more vigorously and the blue smoke
of the incense rose in a heavy cloud.
Gradually the irregular group of wor
shipers took on a definite form and
long line mounted the altar, eacn
as he passed kissing the wounded
hands and feet of Christ, as repre
sented on a picture held up by the
priest. First the men and then the
women with their bevies of children.
The big room was thick with the
smoke of the Incense and the strong
odor of the burning tapers. As the
procession wound on its reverential
way the crowd gradually thinned out.
Originally there was mora to tne
ceremony, but the ordinances or tne
city fathers have barred the pyro
technic display and with It has died
the custom of egg-rolling. Soon there
were only a few of the 500 or so left.
The choristers left their places and
only the droning voice of the priest
was heard. The services of the Holy
Pasch were ended. - '
This Quaint church, which supports
Itself by the sale of offertory tapers
and occasional donations from its mem
bers, was erected in" 1908, and its con
gregations have followed within its
stone walls the old, old. orthodox rit
ual, as far as the laws of the com
munlty would permit. There is a touch
of the Oriental, of the ancient Grecian
simplicity about their forms of wor
ship, and a strain of the ancient hos
pitality in their kindly -and courteous
welcome to strangers.

Officers Convinced of Plot to Blow
XTn Short Line Span.
ONTARIO. Or., April 15. The guards
on the Oregon Short Line bridge 'vhere
an encounter took place' between the
guards and prowlers last night, have
been doubled. It is believed one of the
strangers who attempted to place a
bomb was badly wounded and his body
whirled away in the swift stream. The
prowlers and guards fought a battle,
due to the guards kicking the bomb off
the rails.
Special Agent Edgley, of the Short
Line, has made an investigation and it
is said he is convinced there was an at
tempt made to destroy the bridge, but
will not reveal any of the details.
United States secret service men are
