upon a proposition backed by a num
ber of the "live" young business men
of the town which was broached to
the city council Tuesday night and
will be taken up by the Commercial
club next Monday evening. 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. The new group will offer to
take over the assets and liabilities of
the Commercial club and all its mem
bers who desire to Join the ' new
Chamber.
Headquarters will be moved from
present upstairs quarters to rooms in
the city hall which the council has in
dicated their willingness of donating
for such use either to the old club or
the new Chamber. Billiard and card
tables will be eliminated and with
bly and with the livest men In town
actively behind the new organisation,
big results are expected.

The Oaks to Show Methods Used.
In order to educate the general
public in the methods of first aid to
drowning persons, W. E. Longfellow,

DR. 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

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.

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.

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.
