Nestor Pannan, a Finn farm hand

poor farm as the result of a premature
discharge of a dynamite blast which
occurred on Monday afternoon.

en by the fall which he received, and
besides that he was badly Injured all
over the body by pieces of rock which
struck him. This forenoon Dr. W. O,
Cole set the broken parts of the man's
body and made him as comfortable as
possible. However, the doctor states
that while his condition Is critical. It
may not be known for several days
yet whether he will survive or not.
At the time of the accident Pannan
with another man was cngnged in dig
ging a well on the ranch of N. Dellow
in the Cold Springs neighborhood. He
was Just being drawn from the well
after having get off two giant powdor
blasts. Apparently the blast went off
ahead of time and caught Pannan
while he was but half way out of the
well. The first blast threw him to the
top of the well but he fell back again
and was then hoisted by the second
explosion which followed Immediately
after the first one.
Yesterday afternoon the Injured
man was brought to town by William
Yohnka and was taken to the poor
farm, where he was cared for by Dr.
Cole.

Basket
Should a franchise be granted the
automatic telephone people and an
other company allowed to establish
business here? This is the problem
that now confronts members of the
city council, and it Is proving a knot
ty proposition. For several weeks the
matter has been before the council,
and at the last meeting the ordinance
was read for the first time and re
ferred to the ordinance committee,
which now has the ordinance In Ub
possession.
On the face of the thing It looks
like there should be no opposition to
the granting of a franchise to a rival
company, for competition is generally
beneficial. Also, from the showing
made by the representatives of the
Result of Second Game of
Ball Tournament.
In the second game of the basket
ball tournament played last evening,
the Greens, under Captain Marsh,
defeated the Oranges, led by Captain
Goodman, the score being 17 to IS.
The game was a spirited one through
out, and though there was much un
due roughness, the best of feeling
prevailed. During the first half but
two field goals were thrown, both by
the Greens, towards the close. How
ever, four goals had been thrown by
the Oranges and threo by the Greens,
thus making the score at that time 7
to 4.
During the latter half both sides
scored well against the other, but
the Oranges were unable to overtake
their opponents Several field goals
were thrown on each side, while the
rest of the score was derived from
throws on fouls. The Oranges espec
ially, were unfortunate in being pen
alized, as one or two of their players
could not ovrecome the football in
stinct to carry the ball forward.
However, they were more successful
than the Greens in throwing goals,
as Captain Goodman, who threw for
his team, rarely missed the basket.
The lineup of the two teams was as
follows:
Greens Marsh, captain; Clark,
Drake, Weaver, Hoofman and Nls
son, substitute.
Oranges Goodman, captain, Bol
lerman, Strand, Thompson and Harris.
On next Tuesday evening two
games will be played, and all are in
vlted to witness the contests. The
games will be between the Reds

to that of the Bell, and this is an
added argument In favor of the
granting of a franchise.
However, the rock upon which the
hopes of the new company may be
dashed is the fact that should a
franchise be granted and an automat
ic Bystem established there would
then be two systems to support in
stead of one, and business houses and
residences as well would be nearly
compelled to patronize both systems
Should both companies continue in
business here It Is Inevitable that this
situation would result and thus, In
stead of competition lessening the
cost of telephone accommodations, It
would virtually double the same.
Another point over which the com
pany and the council may lock horns
is that of the maximum rates to be
charged. In the ordinance as read
last meeting $4.25 for business houses
and $3.25 for residences were named
as the highest rates that the compa
ny could charge as long as the num
ber of 'phones within the city is less
than 2000. However, Mr. Sumner,
president of the company, who came
over from Walla Walla this morning,
stated that the number of 'phones
could be Increased to 4000 If desired.
But the above rates are higher than
those now charged by the Pacific
States company, and which the auto
matic people have stated they would
duplicate. Whether or not the coun
cil will be willing to give a franchise
containing the $4.25 and $2.25 rates
remains to be seen, but It Is consider
ed doubtful. Should such rates be
named In the franchise and the Pact
flc States company driven out of bus
Iness here, the automatic company
could then raise their changes to the
maximum, for there would then be
no competitor left.
However, according to F. R. Brig'
ham, county manager for the Pacific
States company, it Is ridiculous to
think that his company would with
draw from the field. In the first
place he says that his company will
lose but little business here, should
the other company be allowed to en
ter the Held, because of the fact that
all business houses and most resi
dences would have to have both
'phones. Also, he says that it would
he impossible for them to quit Pen
dleton because of their long distance
business. In his opinion should a
franchise be granted the new compa
ny, the main losers would be the mer
chants and others who would be forc
ed to pay for two 'phones each month
Instead of one. Mso, he holds that
the automatic people can never meet
the old company's rate of $1.25 per
month for a residence 'phone.
Meanwhile, the members of the or
dinance committee of the council
who now have charge of the measure,
are putting In their time trying to
solve the question that is before
them. It Is not unlikely that the mat
ter m.iv be held over for a week or
more yet.

IOSNe Holds for Two More Years,
This morning Attorney C. H. Carter,
counsel for the Pendleton Woolen
mills, stated that he had filed a mo
tion In the federal court at Portland
asking for the dismissal of the bank
ruptcy proceedings which had been
brought again the company by E. Y,
Judd.
The proceedings were started some
months ago by Mr. Judd in order to
secure an equitable settlement of the
claims again the mill company. How
ever, as there was no federal Judge
upon the bench in this state no action
could be taken, and In the meantime
the difficulties of the company have
been satisfactorily adjusted. Mr. Car-
tor said this morning that the attach
ment brought by the Baker-Boycr
bank of Walla Walla had been settled
In full, and that the company would
continue its business as In the past.
Although the company has a heavy
Indebtedness in the shape of a mort
gage, ItH affairs are evidently all right
for the present.
At presont the mill is under lease
to Charles J. Ferguson, and the mill
business will be continued by him as
In the past. He has the mill leased
for two years yet.
