Raaeballa Lost, Game Off.
PENDLETON. Or. June 1. (Special.)
With a special train out of Pendle
ton, and other specials from various
aectlons as well as many automobiles
bringing the guests, the Farmers'
Union fourth annual plcnle and meet
ing was opened In Athena today. The
plcnlo followed a parade through the
business section. The Athena band
headed the procession.
Mayor Koonts. of Athena, delivered
the address of welcome, while Fred W,
Klneon, of Grass Valley, responded.
Other speakers were C C Connor, K. 8.
Norrls, La Urande; F. A. Bikes, Milton;
C P. Strain. Pendleton; A. R. ghumway.
Milton; C W. Nelson, of Seattle, and
Professor 8. C Scudder, of Corvallla.
Hundreds of people attended. An
amusing feature of the day was the
losing of both balls In the game be
tween Weston snd Athena, and so
fruitless were the efforts of nearly 1000
farmer fans to recover them that the
game, waa abandoned. The boys on the
diamond failed to see the humorous side
of the Incident.

mysterious delegation of British capi
talists vlsttsd here several days ago,
made a trip of observation asd Investi
gation with William Hanley over the
P- ranch and the Catlow Valley ranches
of the Hanley. Corbett companies.
Mr. Hanley usually Is not secretive
about his guests, but In this case ho
gave no Intimation to his closest friends
as to what was the business- of these

they are from British Columbia and
that they are "very Important men to

tion purposes or sale In small tracts.

The outlook at present Indicates that
Mayor Ferguson will be recalled and
Chris Knoell elected In his place. The
latter la known as ths "Good Govern

For the recall election the Issue Is
drawn clearly on the Industrial Work

full sway and not protecting the In

of next week.
It Is customary for the President to
refer all public land bills to the Secre

and thla course may be taken with the
three-year bill, but that Is not likely.
The action of the House today was
accomplished without any friction,
those In charge of the bill waiting un
til Its opponents were out of the hall
before calling It up. Five minutes af
ter the conference report was read. It
had been approved by the House with

who Intended opposing the adoption of

If the eesslon of Congress laats long
enough Senator Borah will endeavor to
get through the Houae his correlated
bill directing the patenting of home
steads on Government irrigation proj

homestead law. This bill has passed
the Senate, but has not been reported
by the House committee. If It Is en
acted, homesteaders on Government
projects can get patent In three yeara.
