The rnbblt shoot given by the Uln lock Fruit comijuny Is now a matter of history. The event paswd off without any casualties and Mas en joyed to the utmost by those .present, and while they did not succeed In en tirely exterminating all of the pests on the Island, their number Is very materially reduced and their ranks decimated by scores. The siiuad from Pendleton left on the delayed train at 1:30 a. in. Fri day morning and arrived at the bon fire, two and a half miles above Co yote aiding at ubout 3 a. m. Here they were met by wagons and at tendants who cared for Uielr guns and baggage and after but a short walk to the river, boarded the "Island Queen." owned by the Blalock Fruit company, fur the trip to the Island, where they arrived at 4 lu m. Dr. N. O. Uiul. irk was waiting to receive them and In his hospitable and affable manner, known nil over the northwest, welcomed them, and himself conducted them to the sleep ing quarters prepared. Many hunters and spectators had already arrived and the Island Queen was kept busy all night long In trans porting the different delegations from the mainland to the Island as fast as their trains deposited them at the bonfire. Those who arrived early In the night took advantage of the sleep ing accommodations to secure a few hours rest, but the late comers per haps, deciding that they wtre out for a time refused to lose so much as an hour In such an Idle manner as sleep. About 6:15 a. m. m Friday morn ing all hands were called to break fast and then the business of organ izing for the day's shoot was taken up. Sixty Picked Shooters. None but those versed In the use of a shotgun were allowed In the ranks as the danger from Inexperience nnd carelessness was too great. It was finally narrowed down to nbout 60 men and these were divided Into three companies, commanded by J. H. Pcdlgo of Walla Walln, captain of Co. A. James B. Blnlnc of Ar lington, enptaln of Co. H, and Judd Fish of The Dalles, captain of Co. C. These 60 men were further subdi vided Into squads of nbout 7 each, to Insure a better and more thorough organization ami one which could be more easily handled. The Pendleton boys were command ed by C. J. Ferguson. F. F. Humoson of Weston acted us another lieutenant of Co. C. Rnlos and regulations were adopt ed governing the actions oT those on the firing line and all were obliged to agree to obey their officers before the hunt commenced. Two mounted field marshals di rected the course of the hunt nnd Dr. X. O. Hlalock with his ambulance corps of two nurses and emergency cases followed In a wagon. Three other wagons followed the line to pick up the dead rabbits, while those not on the firing lino enmc along In the rear. After deploying the lino of skir mishers, with n distance of about 30 feet between each man, the word was given to advance and commence fir ing. At first the occasional crack of the single gun was heard, but this soon swelled Into a roar ns the rab bits commenced to appear. "Don't get tip In front of the line; keep back!" was at first the cry of the busy officers as they endeavored to restrain their now excited hunts men. Not nn AeeidciH Took Plitcc. Commands not found In nny manu al of arms, such as "Here, you fellow with the blue pants', don't shoot In Russian Naval Mulluy, St. Petersburg, Feb. 10. There Is mutiny on a number of vessels In the Baltic fleet, and several officers have been ar rested. The complaints are f abuse and seml-starvatlon. any direction ut straight hi and "Say you, with the pump keep that mbr.zle elevated Mid pointing along the line!" These and Blmllnr orders were shouted Inter mittently atiil as a result of Ails wo:k on the part of the chosen Officers not an accident was reported. The Island won coverefi 'thorough ly anil hundreds of rabbfrli were gath ered Into the wagona. One lone coyote was routed and soon flr.lshed by a volVcy 'from a dozen nr more guns that Were Instantly trained on him. After covering tm West half of the Island all returned to 'the house where the narbecue whr Fprtad and enjoyefl by "the hungry solJItefs who had cov ered nbout eight miles since brealc-frt:-t. After dinner the east half of the Island was cow-red "In the same cwre- ful manner nnfl by evening, tired and hungry hunters were scattered around the Island house discussing the venfB of the day while waiting for their trains. As the hfiur of departure arrived the "Island Queen" gathered aboard the satisfied nnd weary huntsmen and deposited them at the siding at Coyote to await the train. ' Three cheers were given for Dr. N. G. Blnlock and his asslstnnts before the crowd broke up. In an effort to expresa the gratitude felt by those present. Too much credit cannot be given him for the manner In which the de tails were arranged and the tireless efforts he made to look after his guests. That everything passed off as planned Is remarkable, and that no casualties were reported Is due to his compMe arrangements and the co operation of the officers selected to handle the crowd.

U. Lett, secretary of the Antl-Profan-Ity Society of the World, who arrived In the city this nfternoon from Walla Walla. For the pant two years this society whose mission Is to discourage the use of vile and profane lnnguage, has made wonderful progress In all parts of the northwest and now has active societies in most of the larger cities where profanity In nil its forms Is frowned down nnd discouraged. The plan of the society Is to organ ize a small club In each city and then to begin a persistent campaign against profanity, especially In public places and In the presence of women and children. ' In many of the lending cities hotel keepers, restnuront keepers, theater managers, street car companies and others have agreed to post notices In their places that profane language will not be allowed.

AGAINST PROFANITY In places where profanity was the rule It Is now the very rare exception.

"I heard loafers in front of saloons use the most un repeatable stuff this morning while a crowd of young girls wna passing di rectly In front of the place, and no one seemed to pay any attention to It. while It horrified me to think of this terrible condition." In St. Louis a city ordinance was recently passed prohibiting the use of profanity on the streets nnd one po liceman was arrested the first day the order went Into effect. Sir. Lett says that nine men out of 10 who uses profane language admit thnt It Is filly nnd nonsensical and ut terly useless and most of them are ashamed of It when their attention Is called to It.
