President rtoosevelt is today riding
along the wonderful canyon of the
Colorado in company with Governor

not attempt to go to the bottom of
the gorge. President Roosevelt got
but little sleep last night. There were
noisy demonstrations along the line
In Arizona. At every watering tank
reached during the night the fusillade
ots woke up people on the train,
and loud profanity was hurled at the
president because ho refused to
leave Ills bed to respond to the greet
ings lit over-entliufelastic friends.
At Gallop and 'Wlnslriw the crowds
were especially boisterous. At Wins
low the crowd was told that the pres
ident was asleep. "Wake him up
then," the crowd yelled. A man at
Gallop, being told the president was.
asleep, said unless he was awakened
ho would explode a stick of dynamite
under the car. He compromised by
shooting off a cannon firecracker.

Jackson, Ky., May 6. Fear of death
at the hands of assassins still holds

sion. No effort is being made to ap

Change of One Vote In a Precinct

Baltimore, May G. Lane, democrat,
was elected mayor yesterdav a' tlif
closest contested election the city has

Wachter mayor. The result may bo
questioned in the courts.
Twenty-two Lives Lost.
Norfolk, May 6. The exact number
of lives lost In the Saginaw-Hamilton
disaster may never be known, but
it is positively ascertained that at
least 22 perished. Several passen
gers were unregistered until after
boarding the vessel, and as all the ill
fated steamer's records were lost the
full list of the dead cannot be made
up.
Chicago, May 6. The first sign of
a break in the laundry workers' strike
which has Inconvenienced a greater
number of citizens than any Chicago
strike In recent years, came today
when it was announced that a num
ber of dissatisfied small laundry own
ers had decided to sign the union's
demands and co-operate with the
strikers In establishing large co-operative
plants. Despite the refusal
of the laundry machine makers to
sell the strikers machinery the unions
have secured options on enough second-hand
machinery to start a num
ber of plants. Hotels and restaurants,
are In titter despair today. Many are
entirely out of clean linen, the pat
rons getting no napkins. Clean sheets
are nothing but a memory.
Freight Handlers Strike.
Omaha, May 6. Another strike was
ordered at noon today and 500 freight
handlers In wholesale houses were
called out. Thoso in railroad freight
houses may follow. Other unionized
employes are refusing to accept goods
hauled by non-union teamsters. A
new scale of wages was to have been
presented to the packers this morn
ing, hut goes over until tomorrow.
The restaurants did not reopen this
morning with non-union men, as, was
announced they would do.
Omaha Asks for Troops.
Omaha, May 6. Appeals have been
made by the business men to the
governor for troops to aid In sup
pressing the labor troubles here, but
the executive stands firm in his dec
lination to dispatch militia until the
state of the public peace demands It.
Employers fixed today as the time to
break the strike and the refusal of
the governor to send troops It Is fear
ed will give union teamsters courage
to repeat acts of violence.
ORATORICAL CONTEST TONIGHT
The chronic borrower is usually out
on a strike.
Eastern Oregon Schools Will Match
Their Orators at Christian Church
This Evening.
Tonight at the Christian church. In

pete for the championship of Eastern

hall. In which Robert Cronln was se
lected to represent Pendleton, will

on criticising, correcting and Jm
proving the orations and probably
never before In Eastern Oregon have
three such elegant school literary
productions been enjoyed by an audi'
ence as thoso to be presented tonight,
It will be a struggle for the raaBter
and should be heartily encouraged.

man, Moscow and Whitman colleges
have already passed upon the thought

Tho bids for the sprinkling of
streets were opened and W. S. Wells
was found to bo the only bidder. Ho
offered to do tho work at $120 a
month per team, and tho council or
dered tho bid accepted. This will
bring the expense of tho street
sprinkling about $400 abovo tho bill
of last year, but In view of tho fact
that feed and labor are both higher,
the council considered tho bid reas
onable. By tho contract, If cold or
rainy weather Intervenes tho teams
may be employed on street work or
laid off entirely.
The hose house proposition came
up before tho council and Mr. Clop
ton stated that thero were soveral
...ni,ifUnc uiiilr.li ronlil bo consid
ered. Ono man offered his property
to tho city at auout $24 a year. Tho
city could also buy lots for from $150
to $C00. Mr. Clopton thought that
the city would do well to buy, as
then they would havo a permanent
site for tho house and if In tho fu
ture thoy wished to change, tho lot
would be worth at least as much as at
..rocni Thfi matter was roforred to
the committee on fire.
An ordinance was submitted direct
ing the purchase of lots 3, 4, C, G and
7 block 119, In East Pendleton by C.
