The men Mho made the recent round-up and celebration such a success are deter mined to effect a commercial organi sation of some kind which will be a greater power for good in the com munity, the old club having fallen Into a state of lethargy due to over hanging Indebtedness and lack of interest.

McBride, who was nom inated last night as an Independent Candidate for county Judge of Mult nomah county, today forwarded to Governor Wlthycombe his resignation as atata senator for Clackamas, Co lumbia, and Multnomah countlp. The nomination of Senator McHilde aa an independent candidate for county Judge came as a result of dissatisfac tlon In Republican ranks over the nomination of George Tazwell. Mc Bride will oppose Tazwell at the gen eral election tn November. 4 Senator McBrtde's nomination was made at a maun meeting of voters at the Central library laut night. His name was placed before the meeting by Jene Stearns, who declared that the "widespread dissatisfaction over the nomination of Tazwell, because of his public record, made the nomina tion of an Independent candidate a necessity." Kan of Clean Record Heeded. - The Importance of the office of , county Judge wan pointed out when Mr. Stearns stated that nearly $40.- , .0(10. 000 In estates and other business had been handled by the county court In the last seven years, and said the Office was of too much Importance to place In It a man with a public record like Mr. TazweH s. George McBride is a son of Justice Thomas A. McBride of the Oregon supreme court, n grandson of Rev. JamcS McBride. one of the early pio neers of the state, and nephew of the late Judge John R. McBride and the late United States Senator George W. McBride. The meeting was called to drder by B. D. Slgler, who stated its purpose. J. J. Johnson, attorney and prominent arranger, was elected as chairman, and R. K. Smith was chosen as secretary. C. S. Chapman presented the proper resolution to form the meeting Into a nominating body, as prescribed by law. Platform Expected Boon.

EVA HARDING IS AT SEA AS TO WHETHER ORNOT SHE IS IN RACE Democratic Nomination for Congress in the First Dis trict in the' Balance, Topeka, Kan., Aug. 3 (U. P.) Dr. Eva Harding, leading woman physician in Topeka, reformer, suffragette and first woman for the nomination for congress, wondered today if she really had been nominated. The Kansab pri maries were held two days ago, but the count has been so close and so blow that the official result probably will be necessary to decide the cuntest. A Topeka minister, Rev. H. J. Cor wlne, Is Dr. Harding's opponent for the Democratic nominee in the First congressional district. Dr. Harding is the first woman to seek a nomina tion for congress from el'ther of the two major parties. .She sought out the nomination on the Democratic ticket out of "sheer gratitude," she says. "The Democrats gave the Kan sas women the franchise and I could not do anything else than be a Demo crat; besides. I don't believe in the tariff, anyhow." she said. Dr. Harding was born in Spring field, Ohio, in 1S59. Her girlhood was spent in Lafayette, Ind. in 1882 she was graduated from the Hahnemann Medical college, Chicago, .and at once came to Topeka, where she has been prominent among Kansas reformers. "I have been a suffragette for 69 years, my parents knew Susan B. Anthony intimately, and I could not have been anything else had I wanted to," Dr. Harding, declared. "I have eat, easy to digest an "There's a Reason" Grocers everywhere sell Grape -Nuts. never married and I am thankful for J that. too. It is such a terrible risk. While I have had the name of being a very brave woman, I was never brave enough to take a cruise on the sea of matrimony." If Dr. Harding Is nominated she will campaign against D. R. Anthony, Leavenworth, whom the Republicans have named for congress from the First district. Mayor Orders Board to Segregate Hymn National Anthem Hot to Be Played In Medley Hereafter as Xequested by D. A. B- Mayor Albee thoroughly coincides with the written request presented to him by the Daughters of the American Revolution asking that the national anthem never be played in connection with or as a part of other composi tions by the municipal band. "It seems to me, if not desecration or lack of respect. to be due to thoughtlessness." said the mayor this morning, "and I am glad to say that even before the request had been re ceived I had been given the promise of the director of the municipal band concerts that the Star Spangled Ban, ner shall always be played alone. I hope other musical organizations will follow the example. "The request from the D. A. R. was only in line with other patriotic and good work which the members of the organization are doing." New Store for Relth. Pendleton, Or., Aug. 3. Arthur G. Means, who for the past few years has been in the mercantile business at Umatilla, today announced the comple tion of plans for Opening the first gen eral merchandise Store at Rieth (Pilot Rock Junction) where is located the new freight division yards of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Naviga tion company. "energy" food of the BOMB OUTRAGE TRIALS WILL PROBABLY BEGIN WITHIN 10 WEEKS Julius Kohn, Reputed Anarch ist, May Be Charged With Conspiracy, San Francisco, Aug. 3. (P. N. S.) Th last of the six bomb case pris oners, Julius Kohn, will be charged to day, probably with criminal conspir acy. Captain Duncan Matheson of the bomb bureau announced. With the five principal captives indicted for murder, and Mrs. Belle Lavin, landlady of Warren K. Bil lings, released, the decision to book Kohn cleared up the status, as defend ants, of all those held. Kohn, reputed anarchist is said to have been an as sociate of Billings, Thomas J. Mooney and Mrs. Rena Mooney, Edward D. Nolan and Israel Weiberg. They were prepared to face the su perior court today on the blanket in dictments charging each with the murder of all of the eight men and women killed by the bomb of July 22. Presiding Judge Geo. H. Cabaniss of the superior court today assigned two of the indictments to himself and three each to Superior Judges Frank H- Dunne and Franklin Griffin. Cases Will Be Expedited, This puts It up to District Attorney Charles M. Fickert to decide Just what defendants will be tried In each court, but it was declared that the cases would be expedited. The trials will probably begin within two weeks. Judge Cabaniss distributed the cases in accordance with the decision to have separate trials, and at least three simultaneous if possible. Each indictment there are eight charges all of the five defendants with the murder of one of the dead. The hearing In the superior court today was for arraignment and the Betting of a date for pleading. The police court murder charges against Billings. Nolan and Weinberg, lodged to check habeas corpus pro ceedings, will be dismissed, the Indict ments taking their place. Weinberg's case comes up tomorrow before Judge Matthew Brady, and Nolan's and Bil lings' on August 9 and 5, respectively. OoTerament Inspector At Work. The federal investigation into the threats made before the preparedness parade is being pushed, and it was re ported today that an Important arrest would be made Immediately by Chief Postoffice Inspector Stephen H. Morse. According to Captain Matheson. the police investigation within San Fran clsco has narrowed down to Investiga tion of the defendants' claims of alibis. All these claims, he declared, are weak and in Billings' case it has been found he can account for his movements July 22 ofily after 3 p. m.. an hour after the bomb explosion. That the hardest work was over, as far as San Francisco is concerned, was further indicated by the abolition of the night detail of . the special bomb bureau, which has been running 24 hours a day ince its establish ment. The two detectives on the nirht watch today went to work with the day force of the bureau. LI Happy Canyon" Will Come Back Again Indications Are That 1916 Konnd-Ty 'Will Be Record. Breaker for Attend- aaoe; Pirst President X Chairman. Pendleton, Or.. Aug. J. "Happy Can yon," the Imitation frontier town where Round-Up crowds of the past two years have found their evening en tertainment, will be rebuilt this year on larger scale. This action was de cided upon Tuesday evening at the meeting of the Commercial association, and J. Koy'Raley, first president of the Round-Up. was selected to act as chairman of the directing committee. The primary purpose of th. -ehow will be, as In former years, the enter taining of the big Round-Up crowds during the evenings of Round-Up week rather than the meJcing of profits for the commercial association which man ages the show. Indications are that the largest crowd in the seven years of the Round Up will be present at the 1916 exhi bition. Publicity given the show by newspapers, magazines and personal boosters has resulted in many Inquiries from the east and already reservations have been mads for many tourists. New Echo District Is Now Proposed If Petition Is Allowed 70OO Acres of Kich Bottom Iiand Will Be Berred With Late Water. Echo. Or.. Aug. 2. Seven thousand acres of the rich bottom land of But ter creek will constitute a new irri gation district if the petition to be presented to the Umatilla county court at the next session is allowed. The proposed district includes practically all of the Butter creek land now un der cultivation, and is being formed for the purpose of contracting with the Teel Irrigation district for the purchase of stored water for use in the late summer. Near Lehman Springs a reservoir with a capacity of 35,000 acre feet is to be built as a part of the Teel dis trict system. This will supply about 12,000 acre feet of water more than will be used on Teel lands, and it is from this surplus that the proposed Butter creek district Is to be supplied. Most of the land tn the new district is now in alfalfa, and produces good crops, but water is needed during the hot mid-summer season to make the land produce to best advantage. Tho cost to farmers of stored water fur nished from the Teel reservoir between June 16 and September 15 has been figured at $20 per acre foot. Flood water can be furnished them in the spring up to June 15 for $15 per acre foot. ,A petition of the land owners ask ing the county court to set a date for an election as required by law, has been presented, and will be acted upon at the September term. There is no doubt of the proposition carrying, as nearly all of the property owners have signed the preliminary petition.
