It was decided to Invite General Man ager Joseph McCabe of the AA'ashlng- ton A Columbia River railway to con fer with the association relative to a more suitable passenger service be tween this city and Hunt's Junction. It was suggested that perhaps ar- rangements could be made for a spe cial passenger train once or twice each week over the line to allow far- mere and others to come to Pendleton to trade. A communication was read from D. C. Brownell of Umatilla, urging the local association to work for Irriga tion development. Mr. Brownell sug gested that an endeavor be made to secure free transportation for dele gates to the Irrigation convention to be held at El Paso, Texas, from November 15 to 18. It was declared the sense of the as sociation that prominent Pendleton men now at St. Louis be appointed delegates to the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress which convenes there shortly. T. C. Taylor made a motion that carried unanimously, placing the as sociation on record as favoring an appropriation from the county to place an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark fair. A letter was received asking that the Pendleton Commercial Assocla- tlou sanction the passage of the Qunrles-t'oeper bill which is to come up at the next session of the national congress. This bill Is one giving the Interstate commerce commission pow er to enforce Its regulations. No ac tion was taken further than to in struct the secretary to aecure a copy of the bill.
