NO MORE FRIDAY NIGHT DANCES They Have Been Poorly Attended at Uie Gymnasium. , No more Friday night dances are to be given In tho gymnasium, as the eommltteo has decided to abandon the attempt to make sue haffalrs a success cess.

They Are Following tho Doctrine of "the Big Stick" and Ha No Means With Which to Buy Legislation and Sustain Ixtllcn Ttoy Huvo No Railroad Passes to Give Nor Other Favors That Are Within Reach of tho Molded Interests Emery De fends tho Open Shop Interests Vig orously. , New York, Dec. 20. In a debate Inst night at the people's forum, In New Rochelle, Herbort N. Casaon de fended strikes and boycotts, and said that the unions were only following the example of President Roosevelt In his "big stick" policy. "If anyone can produce better weapons," he said, "let them come forward." "The trades unions," he continued, "have no Andy Hamilton to look out for their Interests at Albany. "They have no house of mirth. They do not own the senators from this state. They have no railroad passes to give to legislators. They can not let their friends In on the ground floor when the house Is about to collapse. The only remedy they have Is the strike, and when men strike, they rasp a blade without a handle, which cuts themselves as well as their opponents. The strike Is a serious business. No labor union strikes just for fun." Opposed to Mr. Casson was James A. Emery of California, secretary of the Citizen's Industrial association of America, the national organization of open shop employers. His argument brought frequent applause. "No sane man." he said, "would deny tho right of worklngmen to strike, provided they violate no con tract.

WITH Should everything move along smoothly from now on and nothing oc cur to block the progress of the East Umatilla project, actual construction work should commence by April, so said J. T. Whistler this morning. Mr. Whistler, who Is now In sole charge during the absence of D. C. Henny In Europe, has been In the city today and will leave tonight for Portland, or tho camp near Echo. As to the chances for early com mencement of actual operations, Mr. Whistler says that such now depends entirely upon those who own land un der the project. Tho order recently given by the secretary was upon con dition that some changes be made In the contract with the Maxwell com pany, and that all owning land under the project sign contracts with the government. According to Mr. Whistler, when the hind owners Join the Waterusers' as 1 RESPONSIBILITY ow LONGER AUTHORITY Along the Baltic 200,000 Armed Peasants Are Or ganizing a Government.

At present the association for the East Umatilla project has not been com pletely organized. However, no trou ble is anticipated, and should none occur all arrangements should be made within a few weeks. Bids for construc tion work would then bo advertised for, and as soon as the contract could be let operations would commence. In Mr. Whistler's opinion difficulty may occur should the secretary of the Interior order that only 40 acres each be retained by present private owners. However, the reclamation service has suggested that present owners be al lowed to retain 160 acres, and It Is thought the secretary will so hold. The first work to be done on the pro ject will likely be the construction of the reservoir dam. This Is to be 90 feet high and about 500 feet wide, with about 3000 feet of embankment besides , .AMI PRH ES ADVANCING. 1'nlon County Feels the Prospect of the Electric Belt Line.

The Badjrero Case Is Set for Trial January t. Judge James A. Fee returned last evening from Milton, where he ap peared yesterday In two gambling cases brought before the recorder's court. The cases In which he appeared were those of Willlum Best and W. H. Badgero, both of whom he defended. The case against Best was dismissed for want of evidence, while the trial of Bndgero was continued until Janu ary 9, when It will be heard before the recorder at Milton. Badgero Is the head miller in the Peacock mills at Milton, and he with others were engaged In a "social" game when ar rested. The outcome of this case Is awaited with Interest, as it will doubt less affect the cases against the other members of the party. UITILLAS ELECT E LEO SAMSON IS THE CHOICE OF THE TRIBE.
