exhausted Its remedies when It secured
an Injunction under the anti-trust law

by the government precludes the legal
ity of any proceeding against them
criminally.

their plea the report of Commissioner
Garfield, which they declare shows no
unlawful act has been committed in
ritralnt of trado.

ASSOCIATIONS COMING
TO AN UNDERSTANDING
Prospective Fusion Due to the Effort
of James H. Gwinn, Secretary of the
National livestock Association,
Which Will Meet In Joint Sexsion
With the American Stockgrowers'
Association In January JO Next The
Latter Have Received AsHnranocs
That Are Placating to Than.
James H. Gwinn, formerly of this

al Livestock association, has brought
about peace between the National
Livestock association and the Amerl
can Stockgrowers' association, and on
January SO a Joint convention of the

ver, where a formal union of forces
will be accomplished.
The American Stockgrowers' asso
ciation bolted from the national asso
ciation ut the meeting In Denver last
winter and since that time has been
hually engaged In building np a great
rlvaJ association composed principally
of cattlemen of Texas and Colorado.
The actual cause of the division wus
on the admission of railroad and com
mission men as members of the na
tional association, nnd since it has
been demonstrated by the National as
sociation that the bona fide stockmen
have central and will dominate the as
sociation, to the exclusion of railroad
Influences, the American association
has agreed to reunite with the old as
sociation.
While the itcrms of the amnlgama
tlon huve not hoen determined as yet,
It Is thought that Frank J. Hagen-
barth, president, and James H. Gwinn
secretary of the National association,
will both be chosen for the amalga
mated association.

Pilot Rock has practically decided to
install a city water system, costing
about $4000.
Estimates have been received from
a competent engineer and the plans
are now being considered by the resi
dents of this progressive little town.
The source of the water supply will
be a well on the side of the rock bluff
west of the town, the well to be about
165 feet deep. A sufficient water sup
ply can be secured by means of this
well to furnish a pressure of 60 pounds
and will be inexhaustible, according
to the opinion of those who have In
vestigated. The total cost of the system will be
about $4000, including the well, pump,
engines, mains, hydrants, pipes and
other necessary equipment.
The sum of $1500 is now on hand in
the city treasury and under the pres
ent general law. the town is authoriz
ed to borrow $2500. The plans of the
system will be finally considered by
the people of Pilot Rock this week,
and It is thought the project will be
adopted.

BRILLIANT PROSPECTS FOH COLD COIN
Is the Oold Coin mliie ut Durkee go
tng to prove a bonanza and make Its
Pendleton owners rank among the
wealthy? According to those who have
seen the mine and know what It Is
there Is good reason for such a belief,
for the mine has thus far made a very
satisfactory showing. However, some
thing more definite will be known a
few weeks from now. after the ten-
stamp mill now Just placed, has been
used a while.
During the past few months T. W.
Avers, Dr. T. 11. White and H. J. Still
man, the three Incorporators, have
been at Durkee looking after the de
velopment of the mine. This morning
Mr. Stlllinan said that Messrs. Ayers
and White were practically the owners
of the mine, and that he had been
(here mostly for the purpose of over
seeing the placing of the stamp mill.
This Is now ready for operation, and
It has been the Intention to start It to
worjt today. Tho mill has a capacity
of 50 tons of ore per day.
As to the money-making prospects
for the mine Mr. Stlllman says that In
his opinion $10 per ton Is a very low
estimate for what the ore will go, and
there Is now enough on the dump for
a long run. At $10 per ton $500 daily
would be cleaned up If the mill were
run nt Its full capacity.
The Gold Coin mine consists of four
claims, nnd the ore now being taken
out Is free milling. While the extent
of the vein cannot now be told from
the work that has so far been done,
yet it Is thought to be of sufficient
Size to make the owners Independently
rich. Aside from Messrs. Ayers nnd
White, Mr. Durkee, the original owner
of the mine, also has an Interest In
the company now.
