belief of the fans of this city, and a
side bet of $500 has been made to this
effect on Sunday's game, to be played

The Walla Walla team has been

strong players from the crack Welser

best that has ever represented the
Garden City on the diamond.
An excursion will be run to Pen

Return From Slianlko and Go to El
fin Tomorrow.
The wool buyers arrived here this
morning In their special car from
Shanlko ami have been spending the
day here. Tomorrow they are to be
at Elgin fjr the second sale to be held
there this season.
The recent sale at Shanlko occupied
two days and most gf the wool In that
section was cleaned up. Practically
all the big clips were sold excepting
that of the Baldwin Sheep & Land
company, one of the largest concerns
of eastern Oregon.
Prices at the Shanlko sale were
much the same as those prevailing
earlier in the season excepting that
higher prices wefe paid for the bet
ter and lighter clips.
A Hot Hide.
The buyers left Shanlko yesterday
afternoon and connected with train
No. 6 at Biggs. They reached the lit
tle station on the Columbia at 9
o'clock last evening anil they say that
the weather there was sweltering. The
breeze th;it was blowing at Biggs
could not have been warmer, they say,
had it come direct from the gates of
hades.
T H
There will be no meeting of the
city council tonight and Instead of
sweltering uround the long table at
the recorder's office tonight the city
solons may enjoy the comforts of life
at their homes.
The announcement that no meeting
will be held tonight was made at noon
today by Mayor Murphy. He says
there Is no pressing business for to
night and in view of the warm weath
er the regular session will be dispens
ed with.
Division Causes Worry.
But while no council meeting will
be held this evening this does not
mean the city aldermen have nothing
to think about during the hot days.
Just at present Mayor Murphy and his
councllmen are showing keen Interest
In the tax case now pending before the
supreme court. If that high tribunal
upholds Judge Galloway's decision
against the full valuation asessment
law the "mischief will be to pay," in
this city.
It would mean that the county
would have to go back to the old one
fourth basis of assessment and as the
maximum tax levy under the present
charter is 11 mills the city would be
unable to raise sufficient money for
running expenses.
Should Judge Galloway's decision
he upheld the only alternative for
Pendleton, according to the mayor,
will be to hold a special election and
amend the charter so as to permit of
a higher'levy. While this could easily
be done, yet a special charter elec
tion takes time and Is necessarily
fraught with some difficulties.

French Inventor Thinks He lias Solv
cd Problem of Aeroplane.
M. Marcel Deprez, member of the
Institute de France, has Invented an
aluminum bird which rises against
the wind and stays In the air without
being sustained by any mechanical
device. M. Deprez explains that his
experiment was entirely based upon
his observation of an eagle rising
against the wind and soaring aloft
without any motion of Its wings. The
solution, he adds, Is very simple.
The aluminum bird consists of two
planes, one larger and almost hori
zontal, ond another smaller and ul
most vertical, resembling In shape a
visiting cord with one end 'bent back.
This aluminum sheet Is Inclined slight
ly against Its horizontal, a current of
ulr somewhat ascendant In direction
Is brought to bear agalnit It and the
metal bird rises and remains suspend
ed In the air.
As soon as It can be practically ap
plied M. Duprez thinks this Invention
will greatly simplify aeronuutics and
will moreover, mean a simplification
of construction and a great economy
In the force necessary to propel air
ships and a considerable Increase of
their staying power.
records of the superior court In hut
favor for 11790, says the Yakima Re
public. The suit was commenced In
September, 1906, when Ryan waa
kicked by a vicious horse In a stall
in Tucker's livery stable, receiving se
rious Injuries which Incapacitated him
for a year and left him with a slight
deformity. Walen waa the man in
charge of the stables at the time, and
the testimony showed that he had
negligently put a horse known to be
vicious n the stall used by Ryan and
knowing that Ryan would go Into the
stall, had forgotten to warn him.
Wliere Plaintiff Failed.
The main point In the' suit, how
ever, was to show that Tucker, aa
proprietor of the place, was respon
sible In law for the negligence of
Walen, and Judge Preble held that
this had not been proved, giving
Jdgment today against Walen only.
Walen Is not believed to have any
money or property.
Judge Preble assessed the damages
us follows: For being Incapacitated
for one year, $545, partially disabled
for six months, $200; further disable
ment thereafter, $100; for partial de
formity. $400; for pain suffered. $200;
surgeon's bill, $350; total, $1790..

The outcome of the personal Injury
suit of William Ryan, a teamster,
against Henry L. Tucker and Peter
J. Walen. is not very satisfactory to
tho plaintiff, notwithstanding the
fact that, a Judgment goes upon the
Away to the Mountains. ,
Rev. W. T. Euster, Jack Huston,
Will Euster and Bert Smith, the lat
ter of Lewiston, left this morning by
team for the high peaks of Wallowa
