Do you want to see a publicity bu
reau organised in Pendleton so that
the attractions and resources of the
eity and county may be advertised for
the benefit of those who are seeking
homes In the west?
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.

TIFT IUS
SAY 282 DELEGATES ARE
SAFE BEYOND CONTEST,
"New Idea" Republicans Will Bolt
and May Be the Moans of Giving
State to the Democrat Leaders
Declare They Will Put Independent
Ticket in the Field In Order to Pun-
isli the Machine Politicians.
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.

defeat Taft In New Jersey, but de
clares It Is the only way poslble to re
form the republican party In the state.

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. Grand Duke Nlcholale
vltch has departed for the Caucasus,
presumably to take charge of the
military forces In the region.

C. If. Walters, Formerly of Weston,
Under Arrest at Spokane.
The following from the Spokesman
Review relates to "Slim" Walters, who
formerly ran the Lobby saloon at
Weston, says the Weston Leader.
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. He
was an element of disturbance and
not Infrequently clashed with the au
thorities. The town felt relieved when
It finally got rid of him, as though
It had "coughed up" about !00 pounds
of corruption:
"C. H. Walters, a bartender at the
New Division saloon, Sprague avenue
and Division street, was arrested Sat
urday night by Sergeant Sullivan and
Detective Lister on a charge of con
nivance at his wife's Immorality and
profiting thereby.
"The woman was taken Into custody
on a charge of vagrancy. The police
declare they have posltlvp evidence
that Walters encouraged his wife to
lead an Immoral life. Both were held
without bond."

the publication of the plans of the

other communities, are Included.
The line between Portland and Sa
lem has received auch excellent pat
ronage that on several different oc
casions it has been necessary to re

the multiplication of trolley lines has
decreased the passenger traffic on the

more than compensated In earnings.

MAD KING IS 60.
Otto of Barlirla, Celebrates Anniver

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.

Walla Walla 2.
A score of 16 to 2 was the large
bitter pill that Lorimer's stickers fed
the Garden City tossers yesterday In
the presence of one of the largest
crowds that ever saw a ball game Id
that city.
Walla Walla's team is composed of
largely the same men who played
with it last year, though the team Is
said to be even stronger than In the
past. But the result yesterday show
ed that It was not equal to the buncb
that has been herded together here.
In the game yesterday the Pendle
ton boys showed themselves to be a
team of stickers and it was their abil
ity t connect with the ball that
helped much In winning the game.-
Tempanny, who made monkies out
of last year's Pendleton team, was
batted out of the box In the fifth in
ning yesterday and the man who took:
his place fared but little better. Dur
ing the game 19 first base hits were
made by Pendleton, while five two
baggers were lined out and one three
base hit
Parkes pitched throughout the
game for Pendleton and his work was
the admiration of the team. His
speedy curves were entirely too much
for his home town friends and 10
