CAXDIDATE TO RUN

elf to Vote for People' CtMke for
United States Senator Formerly
Represented Umatilla County.
W. M. Blakeley, former representa
tive, has consented to ran as an In
dependent candidate for representa
tlve from this county and lie will go
against L. L. Mann. the reg
ular republican nominee. Mr,
Blakeley will run as an Independent
candidate and his nominating petition
has already been filed.
According to Mr. Blakeley he will

Statement Number 1.
"I further state to the people, of
Oregon as well as to the people of my
legislative district, that during my
term of office I will always vote for
that candidate for United States sena
tor In congress who has received the
highest number of the people's votes
for that position at the general elec
tion next preceding the election of a
senator in congress without regard to
my individual preference."
I believe In the rights of the people
regardless of party politics, to choos
their U. S. senators, and when the
majority of voters declare their choice
it is the duty of the members of the
legislature to carry It out. If the vot
ers of Umatilla county care to elect me

WirY MAIL IS LATE.
Portland Letters Drought to This City
by Way of Walla Walla Train.
Repeated complaints are made to
the Pendleton postoffice that letters
which should have been received on
the early morning train from Port
land, are not distributed here until
about noon and explanations are
made dally concerning the matter.
These letters which are distributed
late are letters which were mailed In
Portland after the departure of No.
at 6 o'clock In the evening, but which
were mailed In time to be sent out on
No. 4, the Spokane flyer, which leaves
Portland at 8:15 p. m.
These letters are brought to Walla
Walla on the Spokane flyer and are
sent' from that place to Pendleton on
the morning passenger train leaving
here at 15:45. This mall is immedi
ately distributed and is therefore
found In the boxes about 11:30 or 12
o'clock.
It is supposed by many patrons of
the office that the mall was received
on the early morning train and that
the office force had been slow In dis
tributing It, but such is not the case
and the East Oregonian Is glad to
make this explanation for the post
office. If this mall was not sent out of
Portland on the Spokane flyer and
returned to this city by way of
Walla Walla, arriving here at 10:45,
l: would be held until No. 2 left Port
land and would not reach this city
until 4:40'p. m- Bv "ending it on the
Ppokane train it is able to reach Pen
dleton about five hours earlier than
it would, were it held until the reg
ular east-bound train, No. 2.

Good SuceeB in Selecting Winning
Team One Man Dropped for
Dninkennttw New Player at Short
Stop in Game With Soldiers Sunday
ICayiio Series Opens Next Thurs
day With Pendleton at Walla Walla.
E. K. Lorlmer. manager of the ball
I team is now busy securing subscrip
tions to complete the financing of the
league team and thus far has been
meeting with good success.
"I do not think we will have much
trouble in raising the money needed,"
said Lorlmer this morning, "for we
have shown that we have a strong
team and the expense of maintaining
It In the Jeague will be but little great
er than at present."
Since he has had the management of
the team Lorimer has devoted his
lime conscientiously to the work and
he has had a wonderful success In
picking his men. This has been due
to the fact that good players have
been anxious to enlist with him and
to the further fact that he has never
hesitated to cut out a man whom he
considered weak or unfit.
An example of this Is shown in the
case of Lee, the short stop during the
past few weeks. Though a good play
er Lee has shown too much "booze
fighting" propensities and he Is now
off the team. In the game with the
Walla Walla soldiers to be played
here Sunday, a new man. Dean", sent
here by "Bobby" Brown of Aberdeen,
will play short.
In entering the league Lorlmer has
gone In to win and his first considera
tion will be to have h's team "make
good" upon the Impnrtat polt of win
ning games. If he can continue the
succes that ho has ulready had there
Is little doubt but that at the en'd of
the lenuue series the banner of vic
tory will float over the Pendleton
team.
To ensure 'the success of the league
movement Lorlmer Is putting up con
siderable hard cash hmself and the
fact that he Is sufficiently Interested
to do so Is making friends for him
self and the team.
The next game will be played here
with the Walla Walla soldiers and
Pendleton will open the league series
with Walla Walla, the game to be
player there If present plans are not
changed.

About the busiest man in this city
yesterday and today has been Dr. C.
J. Smith, who with his family, re
turned Wednesday after six months
abroad.
Since his return Dr. Smith's time haa
been taken with almost continual
round of handshaking. At his office
and on the streets today the doctor ha
been greeted by a host of acquaint
ances and his homecoming haa one
more demonstrated the fact that he
has many friends among all classes.
For the next week or more the doc
tor will devote his time to picking up
the reins of his affairs and to Inform
ing himself regarding the things that
have been doing since he left last fall.
This morning Dr. Smith declared
himself delighted with the develop
ment movement that haa Just been
gotten under way here and he Is
ready to put his own shoulder to the
wheel, as he has done In the past, and
help In the work of colonizing the
county. ,
The annual meeting of the school
board has also been awaiting Dr.
Smith's return, for he Is the chairman
of the board and hence his arrival Is
of Interest to those connected with
the schools. This morning the doc
tor stated that he would call a meet
ing of the board at once to take up
the matter of electing teachers and
oher business at hand.
Had Delightful Trip.
While abroad the doctor and his
family had a most enjoyable trip and
the senator himself lost no opportu
nity to learn everything possible about
old world conditions. During their
long tour they had many marvelous
experiences but not a single mishap.
Dr. Smith himself devoted much of
his time abroad to professional stu
dies under world famous Instructors
and in visiting the hospitals of the
different natons he visited.
While away the doctor kept a very
extensive diary of his travels and
some Interesting Interviews with him
will appear later in this paper.
