OFFICE HEAD CLERK
HEADQUARTERS W. O. W.
MAY COME TO PENDLETON.
The Issue Is Actively Raised In the
Commercial Association, and Was
Referred to a Special Committee
Boise, Salt Lake and Other Cities
Are Rivals of Pendleton An Insti
tution Worth Having, as It Expends
Yearly Nearly $130,000.
At the meeting of the Commercial
Association last night, the question
raised some time ago as to whether
or not the city would do anything to
wards offering an Inducement or a
honu8 to the Women of Woodcraft
for the location of the ofllec of the
head clerk here, was brought up by
President Uorle and generally dis
cussed. At the request of President Borie
a statement of the scope of advan
tages to be expected by the placement
of the office here had been secured
from Mrs. Carrie Van Orsdall, grand
guardian of the order, and this was
read by President Borie. The paper
showed that the office of the head
clerk had expended in tho year 1903
for stamps alone $17,000; for other
postage, J4.209.65; for freight and ex
press, $1,111.20; for telegraph and
telephones, $2,850.17; light and fuel,
$1,821.70.
There are 23 clerks employed in the
oftlce at a total salary payment of
$13,772 a year; four heads or depart
ments, at a total salary of $7,800;
two grand physicians, drawing $6,000.
The total expenses or the office for
the past year were $129,146.41.
ir the ofllces were to be located In
this city the order would build a
three-story office building nt an ap
proximate cost of $40,000.
Rival Claimant Cities.
Boise City wants to secure the
plum, but the mail facilities of that
place are not of the best, which
places it at n disadvantage. Bait
Lake City would like to have the of
fices, and ,1s a geographical center,
but the Mormon church Is opposed to
the order, and therefore that place
will not be chosen ns a location.
Many other cities of the Northwest
are after the location, and a strong
light will be made by each. The mat
ter will be settled at the meeting of
the grand circle, representing the Pa
cific Jurisdiction Oregon, Washing
ton. Idaho, Montana. Colorado, Utah,
Nevada, California and Wyoming
which meeting will be held at Los
Angeles In April, 1905.
Referred to Special Committee. "
All of the members of the associa
tion who expressed themselves on the
subject are greatly In favor of doing
nil tbnt can be done to persuade the
circle to favor this city with the of
fice, and accordingly the subject was
I referred to a special committee to be
I appointed by the president, which
I should confer with Mrs. Van Orsdall
I and learn from her If possible the
best manner in which to proceed to
wards securing favorable considera
tion of the claims of Pendleton.
If It will be or advantage to secure
I a piece of property and pledge it to
I the order, this will perhaps be done,
or any other plan that will meet with
the greatest favor will be adopted,
! am! work will be at once begun with
tno idea or bringing the ofllces here.
President Borie hns not appointed
his committee as yet, but will think
over the matter for a day or so, and
then select those men irrespective of
membership In the association who
will labor earnestly for the success
of the proposition.

R. W. HENNEMAN, 8UCCE8SOR TO G. NEUMAN.
The circuit court will convene Mon
day next, the Bcsslon having been de
ferred until that time nt the order of
Judge Ellis, and owing to the election
The docket will be short and but a
few cases of any Importance appear.
Outside of the criminal business there
will be but little to do.
O. R. A. N. Tax Case.
Perhaps what is destined to be one
of tho famous cases of the county ami
of the state for that mntter, will make
Its Initial appearance at this term.
and that Is the case of the O. II. & .n
against tho county, In which n rediu'
tion of the assessment made by C P
Strain will be asked for.
The company has been gathering
data for some time, having started
the contention before the county com
missioners soon after the lovy was
made public. At that time the eoun
unstained the levy ns made by Mr
Strain, and now comes the company
before the circuit court asking for a
stay In execution, and a writ of r
view to Issue from the court against
the county. It Is nsked by the com
pany that the court go over tho as
sessment and Investigate various
charges of Irregularity in the assess
ment and injustice In valuation alleg
ed against the assessor. It is also
asked that the sheriff be restrained
from taking any steps for the collec
tion of the delinquent taxes of tho
company, pending the settlement of
the suit.
It is the Intention of the company
to fight the case through all of the
courts here. It can well afford to
spend all the money which such a
course would necessitate, If It could
secure a material reduction in the as
sessment, not on account of the
money to be saved In taxes at this
time and In this county, but on ac
count of the moral effect such a decis
ion would have on other counties that
are awaiting the outcome for a favor
able opportunity to add to the valua
tion now placed on railroad property
generally throughout the state.
Light Criminal Docket.
The criminal docket will not be
very heavy, but It is the intention of
District Attorney Halley to clean up,
as much as may be, all the cases
now standing, as this Is his last ap
pearance as attorney for the people.
He wishes to leave a clean docket
for his successor,
George Clay, the man who stole the
horse and buggy from George Froome
and drove into Washington with the
rig, where he was captured, will have
to answer to the charge of larceny by
vttuet).
William Morton, the sheephorder.
who shot and nearly killed Pat Doug
erty, his employer over a dispute
about wages, will he tried at this
term for assault with Intent to kill.

ceny of a harness from the Froome
barn, will be tried ou the charge of

Texas, who slashed Flavell Moore, In
u drunken quarrel in the tenderloin.

ernment geological survey company,"
who bought (lie big hill or rooiIk at
Vounger'B grocery store for which he

the rhargo of having rorged tnldences
of debt in Ills KisiiesHlon, with fraud
ulent intent.
The old wheal ease of .1. M. Walker
vs. W. 12. Bond, will in nil probability
be brought up lor settlement at this
term. It is the enso In which It Is
alleged that Bond, while nmunger of
tho Athena Flouring .Mill Company,

house or the mill.
