. THIRD QUAKE
Last Temblor, Felt at 9 a. mM Is
Reoorted Very Sliehts Two
0thr Shocks Are Recorded in
Early Hours; No Damage Done.
Los Angeles, July (L N. S.) .
A third and very slight earthquake
shock was felt hero at 9 a. m. today.
Tbe temblor was barely noticeable
in this region. No damage was re
ported. ' : ..'
v Los Angeles, July 26. (I. N. S.)
A sharp earthquake was felt hers
at 4:12 a. m. today. The first shock
was followed a few minutes later by
a second lighter shock. No damage
had been reported at 7 o'clock. ;
The temblor was of the same nature
as those which rocked the city 10 days
ago- a sudden Jolt, but It was not of the'
intensity of those quakes and. so far as
can be learned, there was none of the
slight damage which followed the earlier
temblors.
Owing to the early hour at which the
shock "registered," it found the majority
of people in their beds and a great many
were not awakened. There was no coo-
fusion downtown, although in some of
the smaller hotels," a few persona ran
out in their nightclothes, fearing addi
tional temblors. The cool fog of the
early morning soon drove them indoors
again. " . - ,
: Shortly following the shock power on
some of the local street car lines went
out for a few minutes, but. no traffic
tie-up . of any - consequence . resulted' as
power was quickly restored. It could not
be learned whether the earthquake was
the cause of the power shortage.
As far as communication was possible
with the smaller towns in this section
owing to the early hour, no reports of
damage have been forthcoming and it is
thought that the quake was merely an
"itinerant temblor" which j Dumpea
through this .section without damage or
harm. .
The first temblor, perhaps the heav
lest -of the series felt here since a week

Deputy City Attorneys L. E Latour

about -11 o'clock for a conference on
the milk situation with representatives
of the distributors of Portland, it is
understood, and they had not returned
late in the afternoon. -'
Mackay made the original investigation
for the city. The criticism of his report,
made to Mayor Baker three weeks ago,
was so great that Latourette was de
tailed to assist him In the new investiga
tion Upon which the - city officials will
be forced to directly act.
The former report was referred to the
United States attorney,; who last week
said he could find no cause of action
against any of the milk Interests for
profiteering or -evading the Sherman
anti-trust act.
It is believed the new - investigation
may bring about the creation of another
municipal milk commission for the pur
pose of establishing a retail price for
milk. ; " - ; i , ' , . .:; -

that a survey of the Portland dlstribut

Mayor Baker was asked Monday
morning in - regard to the suggestion
that milk be made a public utility, the
same as gas and electric current, and
piacea under tne administration - of a
state commission, v He expressed the
opinion that the : scheme was not feas

ALL OF PENDLETON
"Grand-daddy Til" Taylor ls dead,
the victim of a murderer whom , hs
had captured after a gun duel only
a few days before, and. Pendleton,
collectively, is ' the most active
mourner imaginable. . - . . ,
Such is the preface made by Mrs, Roy
T. Bishop of Pendleton to her praise of
the slain official, known" and admired
for'ais fearless qualities and " his man
hood throughout the West.
! "ran hardly 'conceive a Pendleton
Round-Up without Taylor in sight,"
Mrs, Bishop . declares, "and I cannot
conceive a posse of Umatilla county men
bringing back alive the men who caused
Taylor's, death. . I was not at Pendleton
Sunday, ; but I . am certain , that feeling
is at fever heat , ... ,
"Taylor had been for 20 years In the
sheriff a office. 16 years of which he
served as sheriff, and never a candidate
has been able to keep In the running
with hint at election time.
- "His was a splendid - type of man
hood. Above all else he was clean. His
fearlessness had resulted in some very
remarkable captures effected with bis
own slogan "bring 'em in alive always
before him.
"An ordinary official would have
killed both Hart and Owens in the duel
that resulted in the capture of the pair
by Taylor a few days ago. The sheriff-
took his own life in his hands on that
day as he had done repeatedly. '
' "His modesty and his very high char
acter are responsible for the very gen
eral support he got from women voters
in both political parties at each election.
These qualities were paramount in the
man and "Oregon must realise with Pen
dleton that the state has tost a notable
cltlsen. ''; ." -. '' ." '-' ,-,'-- '
"The tile of grand-daddy came to
him during a 'round-up a few years ago
when his little grand-daughter, incensed
because, when she called from the grand
stand to her 'Grand-daddy Til' the sher
iff did not hear her. He was required
to ride back to a position before her and.
unhatted, publicly ask her pardon.
.- "Taylor was never a grandstand play
er. He worked quietly and as a man
and a public official made, a record that
his family and his community long must
cherish. ,
