Last night L. G. Frazier was elect
ed as manager of the Pendleton ball
team for the coming season and a
contract was agreed upon with W.'F.
Matlock whereby the association se
cures the absolute control of the ball
grounds during the coming year for
.lie flat price of 1300.
The meeting was held In the library
of the Commercial association and
yr. Matlock was present at the request
of the association officers. At the
opening of the meeting he was in
formed of the association's action In
guaranteeing the Aberdeen team free
use of the grounds for training and for

one Sunday game. He was asked to
allow the use of the grounds free for
that occasion, but declined to do so,
though he offered to take it per cent
of the gross receipts instead of the
usual 25 per cent
The proposition of renting the
grounds outright was then taken up
and Mr. Matlock offered to lease the
grounds for a year for $200 or for
the baseball season for S200. It was
the nvoted to accept the grounds upon
one of the conditions named, the con
tract to be drawn later by the, execu
tive committee. Shortly after Mr.
Matlock's departure the proposition
was discussed by the members present
and It was unanimously decided to rent
the grounds for a year, also to secure
an option for the following year If
possible.
Under the arrangement agreed up
on the baseball.people will have entire
charge of the grounds all through the
year and will have to keep the
grounds, fence, etc.. In repair. How
ever, the proposition Is regarded as a
better one than the percentage ar
rangement, which has been used in
the past.
By having a flat price upon the
grounds the association hopes to be
able, through large crowds, to finance
a team this year that will be a credit
to the town. It is proposed to play
as many games as possible with Walla
Walla and during much of the season
it Is probable that excursions will be
run alternately from Walla Willa to
Pendleton and vice versa.
In selecting a manager for the com
ing year L. O. Fra.er was found to
be the unanimous choice of the asso
ciation, and he accepted the position.
By his election the position of secre
tary was made vacant and Carl Coo
ley was chosen to that position.

MILLINERY
IRRIGATIOX FRAUDS.'
Settler Demand Return of Their
- Money from Company.
The Oregon Daily Journal says of
the climax of the Irrigation fraud at
tempted by the Columbia Southern
Irrigation company of Creek coun
ty, upon homeseekers:
Settlors on the tracts of the Colum
bia Southern Irrigating company in
western Crook county, incensed at
the alleged deception and misrepre
sentation which has been practiced
upon them, have taken the initial
steps to place a period on the com
pany's operations, and it is probable
that Attorney General Crawford will
be asked to vonccl the contract of
one of the largest private Irrigation
projects in the state of Oregon.
Complications are added to the
proceedings which will be taken
against the company by the fact that
practically $169,000 has been collect
ed from the settlers who wtll lose the
entire amount in the event of the
cancellation of the contract which
the company holds with the state,
unless the company can be compelled
to restore the funds In Its oossesslon
A large portion of these, however, Is
raid to have been Invested In prop
erty elsewhere
Scores of persons in both Wash
ington und Oregon have purchased
lands In the Croqk county project
and will await with no little appre
hension the outcome of the fight
which the settlers will wage to gain
possession of their funds and
straighten out the tangle in which
the company is Involved.
Deception Alleged.
The project includes 27.000 acres
of the flncat Irrigable lands In Crook
county, and fully 20,000 acres of this
umcunt has been sold at an average
of 110 per acre. Settlers charge that
under the present Inadequate system
of irrigating there will never be suf
ficient water to reclaim more than
half the total segregation.
W. A. Laidlaw is the majority
stockholder In the company. Robert
W. Wilson, state representative from
Multnomah county Is president, and
J.imes W. Main, secretary.
I.Ofif.EUS WILL SHUT DOWX.
Sawmill Strike Will Canse 1000 Men
' to Lose Their Jobs.
The Oregon Dally Journal says of
the logging situation on the Colum
bia river:
Their market cut off by the closing
of the Portland lumber mills, the
logging fy-ms of this city and along
the Columbia river are preparing for
an indefinite shut-down of their
camps.
One thousand men now at work In
the logging camps will be thrown out
of employment and many dependent
Industries will seriously suffer. A
prominent logger stated this morning
that the busiest season of the year
was just about to begin and that the
tie-up could not have come at a
more Inopportune time. All signs
point to a complete paralysis of Ore
gon's magnificent lumber Industry
during at least a considerable portion
of the season of 1907.
CRAIVOROWERS INCORPORATE.
Will Buy and Sell und Build Capital
$1000.
The articles of incorporation for

Henry J. Taylor and J. T. Lleuallen.
In the articles of Incorporation the

PAYING TAXES RAPIDLY.

Tax payment have been coming In
faxt at the sheriff's office during the
past few days and there is every indi
cation that a running buslne- will be
done until after Friday, the ir.th, on
which dnte the 3 per cent discounts
cease. Yesterday the sum of $7500
was collected, and todiiy the office
'.:as also been filled almost continu
ally. In opinion of Sheriff Taylor about
half of the totul tuxes will be p.ild
up by the 15th, as the prospect of se
curing a 3 per cent rebate appeals to
most property owners. Of those who
do not pay early and get the rebate
the greater part make a half pay
ment during the spring and tiie second
payment before October 1.
JOIIX HAH.EY REAPPOINTED.

ple Among Westbound Homeseek
ers Added to the Literature Got
ten Out by Echo and Ifermlston
People, and the Letter Writing
"Campaign," an Impression Is Cor.
tain to Be Made of Vast and Last
ing Benefit,
A shipment of C000 circulars on
Umatilla county was sent to the Har
riman Immigration bureau headquar
ters at Omaha today for distribution
to westbound colonists who are now
pouring Into the northwest on the
cheap colonist rates in effect during
Mnrch and April.
The publicity committed of the
Commercial association, consisting of
T. T. Geer, H. C. AVlllls and Bert
Huffman, ut a meeting last evening
decided that the circulars now on
hand should be sent east as soon as
possible In order to be placed in the
hands of Intending homeseekers, and
after this supply Is exhausted It Is
probable that a new circular will be
isMied and placed with the Harriman
people for distribution in the east,
and perhaps also along the line of
the Union Pacific, Short Line and O.
R. & N.
A number of advertising circulars
are being issued by various irriga
tion and land companies In the Echo
and Hermlston dlstilct, which will
also he distributed In the east, and
with the letter-writing campaign in
the public schools of the county. It
Is thought the county will be thor
oughly advertised this spring.
The colonist rates now In effect
are rringing thousands of people to
the northwest and while compara
tively few are stopping In Pendleton
the same Is true of every other point,
outside of Portland. The colonist
t'ekets are good for passage to Port
land and a large majority of the
homeseekers gc to the end of the line
before stopping, expecting to come
back to Inspect places which may
have attracted their attention as
they passed on westward.
By placing the Umatilla county cir
culars in the honds of the colonists
In the cast It Is hoped that many of
them will make Pendleton and Uma
tilla county their objective point af
ter they have visited Portland.

FIGHTING THE SCAB.
Wyoming Sheep Commissioners Are
Getting Busy.
An Important meeting of the state
board of sheep commissioners will be
hold in Cheyenne on Friday, when
the board will plan for the work of
the ensuing year In fighting the
dreaded disease, scabies, which has
made considerable inroads In the
stnte during tho past year, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
The meeting will be attended, In
addition to the members, by Dr.
Lowell Clarke, agent In charge of
this district, and several government
inspectors and a number of state in
spectors. Including C. E. Verry of
Rawlins, In charge of the southern
district; R. E. Mlnty of Sheridan, In
charge of the northern district, and
Cole Campbell of Douglas, In charge
of the central district.
Since the last dipping pen Inspec
tion Kab has broken out In Laramie,
Albany, Big Horn, Sheridan and
Crook counties. An effort was made
to Induce the government to take
charge of the work of eradicating
scab from these counties, but with
out succesi.
It Is doubtful If the board can ar
range for a genetal dipping pen In
spection Including all of Wyoming,
su will probably plan for the Inspec
tion of all sheep dipped In the five
counties referred to, thus cleaning up
these counties
Scabby Sheep from Washington.
The Tribune continues on the scab
situation:
R. Is. Mlnty, state sheep inspeector
for Northern Wyoming, located at
Sheridan, Is in the city to attend the
meeting of the state board of sheep
commissioners tomorrow.
Inspector Verry has Just quaran
tined 30,000 head of sheep belonging
to Joseph Letter, near Clearmont,
Wyo. Letter recently Imported 860
bucks from Washington which were
infected with scab and the entire
flocks were exposed. The sheep will
he quarantined for two months and
then dipped. The bucks passed the
government Inspectors and were
shipped as clean.
