If you do, be at the court house tonight when the mass meeting will be held for the purpose of listening to Tom Richardson, the official boost er and secretary of the Portland com mercial club. He. will be here tonight and he wants to meet the business men, the property owners, profession al men, worklngmen and all others who are interested In the work of building up the city and county. While in eastern Oregon Mr. Rich ardson has been In all the principal towns and as a result many of them are now planning publicity cam paigns. It is now up to Pendleton to do likewise. Time la Ripe for Action. With the colonization of the Irri gated section in the west end now un der way the time Is ripe for a public ity campaign and Pendleton Is ex pected to take the lead. Since this city Is the business center of this sec tion it Is held that It should assist In the work of exploiting the lands that are being reclaimed. Should a publicity bureau be decid ed upon the funds for the same will likely be raised Jointly from the prop erty owners and business men of this city and by the companies now plac ing Irrigation lands upon the market It Is understood that those now en gaged In colonizing their lands are anxious and ready to assist In the publicity work In which case the ex pense will not have to be borne en tirely by local people. The meeting tonight Is being held at the Instance of the Commercial as sociation and President Alexander asks that every member of the or ganization attend. However, It will be a mass meeting for the general public and the fact that one does not belong to the. association should be no bar to attendance. GREATEST WHARFS IN WORLD.

Washington, April 27.--Taft head quarters today claimed 282 delegates In the national convention on figures obtainable up to date and declare that there Is no possibility that 272 of these will be contested. Some of Taft's managers claim 200, but this is considered too high, as 15 of this number, at least, are taken from the contested column. Because of the bolt of the "New Idea" republicans in New Jersey, lead by Everett Colby and Mayor Fagan of Jersey City, Bryan hopes to capture the electors from that state should he be nominated at Denver. The "New Idea" republicans declare that they will put an Independent republican ticket of electors in the field as a pro test against Boss Lenta' tactics. The "New Idea" men control 80,000 votes In Essex and Hudson counties, and bent Dryden for the United States senatorshlp last year.

Vienna, Austria, April 27. Terrific fighting Is reported on the shah's side of the Russo-Perslan frontier. The entire population of the moun tain region, south of the Aras river, Is rising against the Russian force, now about 1500 strong, sent to their country to punUh the Kurds for ralj Ing the czar's territories. The Cos sacks continue to hold their position, which is very critical, according to dispatches here from St. Petersburg. The available military forces within striking distance of the fighting zone are exhausted and the present body in the field will fight out Its own sal vation. The Cossacks with modern machine guns have no trouble In bat tering down the village walls and in flicting heavy loss on the enemy, but are overwhelmed by sheer weight of numbers. The continued massing of the Turkish troops on the sultan's frontier, greatly adds to the czar's ap prehensions.

Weighing over 300 pounds, and every pound Itching for "tainted money." he became notorious for his more or less open defiance of law and order.

OREGON CLUBS ARE ACTIVE All tlie Willamette Commercial Bodies Are Getting Busy. Portland, April 27. No announce ment made In years has been more interesting to the state at large than the publication of the plans of the Oregon Electric Railway company, which mean a system aggregating three hundred and eighty-one miles in length, and reaching the principal towns of the entire Willamette val ley, with an extension to the coast as well.

Munich, Bavaria, April 27. King Otto,- the mad monarch of Bavaria, is today 60 years of age and Is celebrat ing the anniversary immured In the gorgeous prison of Castle Furstenrled, whers he has spent 38 years. King Otto was born April 27, 1848, and succeeded hfB brother, Ludwlg II., June 13, 1886, when that monarch committed suicide by drowning him self In the Stranberg lake. At that time he was Insane, and the real mon arch Is Prince Lultpotd, Otto's unclei who rules Bavaria as regent Of King Otto's 60 years, 38 have been passed- as a madman, although for 22- years he has ostensibly occu pied Bavaria's throne. Physicians are of opinion that Otto's robust consti tution will enable him to "reign" many more years. Since 1878 Otto has not left the house and park of Castle Furstenreld, which Is on the outskirts of of Mu nich. Fifteen gorgeously appointed par lors, connected by mighty " folding doors, are at th exclusive disposal of the royal madman, who amuses him self year In and year out by smashing furniture, breaking up statuary and smearing mud over the paintings and wall hangings.
