For Better Train Service.
The matter of better train service
was brought up at the meeting.
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.
