I a: I SYSTEM COMING Members of Commission Are Anxious to Get Preliminary Work Started. CMAmMAJJ BROWN WOULD HIRE ENGINEER. Sevcrul Months Will Do Required and Drou-n Save No Time Should Be Wasted in Delay Aci of Congress ' Necessary to 6ecure Right of Way Across Reservation Election Could Not Bo Had for a Year- Movement la Popular and Few Woukl Vote Again K. Prospects for a gravity water sys tern are growing brighter day by day and It Is now very .probable that soma actual steps looking toward the Installation of such a system will be started soon. As already known a majority of. If not all the water commission, are fa vorable to a gravity system and some of them are anxious to get The preliminary work started as quickly as possible. Up to this time the board, as now constituted with Judge Fee as a member in place of W. J. Furnish has not met but a meeting will be held the first of August. At that time there may be something doing that will mean much for the future of Pendleton. Brown Wants Action. "For my part." said J. T. Brown, chairman of the board today, "I would like to see the commission em ploy an engineer to commence Inves tigations soon. We will first have to find out how far up the river we must go to secure water, how we can get It and how we can bring It down. I am in favor of having a thorough survey made so that we will know ex actly what can be done. Then when we have found where we want our pipe line to run we ean ask for a right of way across the reservation. To get that will take an act of congress and we should be nrenared so that Congressman Ellis can take the matter up this coming winter. If we could get the neces sary right of way we could then haw all preliminary work done In time so that the people could vote upon the subject at the next general election a year from the coming November." Movement Is Popular. To say that the water board is endorsed In Its desire for a gravlflr system is expressing It mildly, From appearances there has never been a' more popular move than that for a new water system and If present sen timent continues there will be ut few votes against the Improvement when It comes to a vote. NO DANGER OF FLURRY. Financier Says Country Will Not Be Affected by Either Taft or Bryan. Hot Springs, Va., July 21. M. E. Ingalls, chairman of the board of di rectors of the Big Four road, and one of the shrewdeBt financiers in the country, put a quietus on some of the stories of danger of panic following the presidential election. "If Bryan is elected," he said .to day, "there will be an off time in Wall street for about a month, after that it will quiet down and the result will be unimportant. Taft's election would probably not cause a flurry. In either event the result will be about the same after the election Is over." Ship Out of Quarantine. Navy Yard, Puget Sound, July 21.

SUED FDR Falrvlew, Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-1-Influeqtlal eastern democrats today notified Mr. Bryan that in their opin ion the antl-lnjunctlon plank adopted at Denver was hardly worth the pa per It was written on, the reason al leged by them being that the David B. Hill bill, passed by the senate, which Is specifically endorsed by the democrats, simply carried out the common law provision, granting a Jury trial In contempt cases, "In the Jurisdiction of the presiding Judge.", The plank was drafted on the as sumption that the Hill bill was passed only after It was amended by Senator Allen of Nebraska, to make the trial by Jury mandatory, at the demand of the defendant. While Mr. Bryan Is reasonably sure of his ground the. allegation that he FATAL STREET CAR COLLISION IV ILLINOIS, Aurora, 111., July 21.

Private William Buwalda, of company A of the first battalion of engineers, serv ing three years penal servitude in the military prison on Alcatraz Island for shaking hands with Emma Goldman, the anarchist, at a meeting two months ago, in Portland is soon to be free. General Funston, commanding the general department of California stated to the United Press today that he had written to the war depart ment at Washington recommending that the sentence be remitted, and that he had received an unofficial answer stating the clemency would be shown within a few weeks. Buwalda served 15 years In the army, and Is regarded as a good sold ier. His sentence after a court mar tial for shaking hands with Emma created a sensation. "I wrote to Washington nearly two weeks ago," said Funston today, "rec commendlng the" men's release. I received the official answer from Judge Advocate Davis,, in Washing ton, stating the letter 'has reached the department and that the prisoner would undoubtedly be shown leniency In time. "I made the request simply because the object of Buwalda's punishment has been achieved. Buwalda Is too fine a soldier to spend three years In prison. I vwanted to establish the principle that the oath of allegiance taken by a soldier makes It Impossi ble for him to become an anarchist while wearing the United States uni form This has been done. tiff LUMBER MOST COMPLETE WORLD nAS EVER KNOWN. Capitalization Will Be $300,000,000 ami World's Output of Yellow Pine Lumber Will Re Controlled Abso lutely Wcfycrhauser, Lumber King, Is Moving Spirit of Enterprixe. Chicago, July 21. Preliminary to the convention of the Northwest Lum bermen's association beginning today, a secret meeting was held last night by 25 men who control the yellow pine lumber market of the world, at which was discussed the greatest lumber merger ever planned. A cap italisation of $300,000,000 was sug gested. Frederick E. Wcyerhauser, the lum ber king, said to be the world's rich est man, was the principal factor at the meeting of the committee of 25 appointed two weeks ago at a gen eral meeting of the yellow pine man ufacturers in St. Louis. It is thought the details of the combine will be perfected today. It Is claimed competition Is ruining prices and profits In the soft lumber business and that some action Is lm peratlve, W. A. Hicks of Pendleton and Miss Maude M. Miller of Baker City were married in Baker yesterday. A SHOUT TIME and the majority of the resolutions committee had been "tricked" caused him worry, and he admitted that he was to have an Inquiry set on foot. A press correspondent this after noon relieved his suspense by explain ing to him that advices from Wash ington showed that the Hill bill, as finally adopted by the United States senate In 1894, provided for the sum mary punishment by the court In di rect contempt cases, but making It mandatory for the court to grant a trial by Jury In all cases where such contempt was committed outside of the Jurisdiction of the court and where such Jury trial was demanded by the accused. This was the Allen amendment as Bryan remembered It, and It cleared up what threatened to become an awkward situation for the democratic candidate.

New York's Governor Has Not Been Represented at Peace Conferences). Washington, July 21. Why has Governor Charles Evans Hughes, the New Tork executive, been unrepre sented In the harmony conferences between Judge Taft and the late la mented "allies," at Hot Springs? That's what politicians of the first magnitude are asking in Washington today. Is the governor grouchy over something, or don't the Taftltes want him to play in their back yard? The smoke of battle had hardly cleared away before Speaker Cannon was puffing his cigar under Judge Taft's vine and fig tree and express ing his humble desire to serve Buck eye Bill in whatsoever capacity he might will. Senator Beverldge, Sen ator Hemenway and Representative Watson' blocked the door in their eagerness to get Into Judge Taft's room first to tell him how loyal the Fairbanks men would be to the Ohio nominee. Being the loudest talker, Senator Beverldge got Judge Taft's ear first. Representative Burke of Pennsyl vania, hot-footed In across country. from Senator Knox's country home to tell the new big chief how much the senator loved his conqueror. He had hardly gotten to Hot Springs before Representative Cooper of Wisconsin, came to pledge the vote of the La Follette crowd of reformers. Even Senator Dick of Ohio, strutted around as the representative of Senator For aker to display within the sight of Judge Taft a beautiful white flag. But where was he who bore the insignia of Governor Hughes? Not in Hot Springs. And Judge Taft has seen no one of that stripe since he was nominated. The politicians are wondering If he wants to.

The Man Who Pays His Way In every newspaper we pick up we are sure to find a gush about the man behind the gun; the man behind the buazsaw and the man behind the rents; the man behind the plowshare and the man behind the fence; the man behind the whistle and the man behlnd the cars; the man behind the the kodak and the man behind the bars; the man behind his whiskers the man behind his fists, and every- thing behind has entered on the list. But they have skipped another fellow of whom nothing has been said the fellow who is even or a little way a head; who pays for what he gets and whose bills are always signed he's a darn sight more Important than the man who Is behind. All we editors and merchants and the whole com mercial clan are Indebted for exist ence to this honest fellow-man. He keeps us all ln business and his town is never dead, and so we take our hats off to the man who is ahead. Exchange. H. Komura, a Japanese labor con tractor of Seattle, is ln the city to day looking over the prospect of hir ing out 100 or more Japanese labor ers for harvest hands In this county. Mr. Komura says that In a number of places in the northwest where white labor is scarce and unsatisfact ory that Japanese are being used In the harvest fields very successfully. They soon learn to manipulate the farming machinery and handle teams and as they work steadily and do not make trouble by 'Jumping the Job" unexpectedly, they are Ideal harvest hands. TO HIDE OUT JWESE WEST HANDS L Sheepmen of Eastern Oregon Should Have Received Two or Three Cents More, LOSS TO UMATILLA COUNTY AMOUNTS TO $40,000. Reports of Recent Sales in Montana Shows That Local' Growers Were Not Given All Their Clips Were Worth Difference in Freight Rata and Shrinkage Dock Not Account for Difference of Five Cents in Prices Paid Opening of Season RcApoiiHlble in Large Degree. That the eastern Oregon sheepmen sold their wool too cheap this year and by doing so lost at least two or three cents per pound on their clips Is shown by recent developments tn the market. j At a sale held at Billings, Mont, a lew uuys agvi puces mugou iiuui 16 1-2 to 18 6-8 cents per pound. The clip of Lafeldt & Stoltenberg, amounting to 110,000 pounds, sold for 18 5-8 cents Another large clip, that of'S. M. Parkham, aggregating 180,000 pounds sold for 17 6-8 while that of A. M. Woolfork, 88,001 pounds went for 16 1-2. For the remainder of the Billings wool similar prices were paid' and thus It will be seen that the Montana men were given In the neighborhood of five cents per pounds more than were the Oregon men. Oregon Men "Soaked." If the reports from Montana are true, and they appear to be authentic, the Umatilla county growers and their fellow sheep raisers of east era Oregon did not get what was coming to them for their wool. There are two things that tend to make Montana wools higher than Oregon wools. The difference in ! freight rates Is computed at one cent while the Montana shrinkage is seven J per cent ,e8s than that or Oregon. ' According to the statistics of the Na- tlonal Woolen Manufacturing associa- jtion the shrinkage in Montana wool i was 63 per cent for 1907 while the nn , .hranV 70 nfl. , Conslderlng tne 8nrnkage ratio to be tne Mme tns Montana men RhnnM nrnnf.r,v haw Wn . . , j mny bate nau, The fact that eastern Oregon wools opened the market this spring large ly accounts for the low price received and some men who are informed de clare that local wool growers make a ; mistake when they allow the market to be opened here This year the buyers came into the field with a de- termination to bear the market, as was but natural under the conditions, In opening the season they quite na- turally wished to set a low pace and tne Oregon wools, being the first of- fered. were made to suffer, At least this is the theory now aa- vanced and in view of the news from Montana there is much foundation for Whether or not the sheepmen "M see the point sufficiently to 4e- fer their sales next year until the market has already been "opened" remains to be seen. , Will Leave for 'Frisco. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Camp, who luive been the guests of their daughter, Mrs. O. E. Harper and family, for the past six months, will leave for San Francisco tomorrow morning, ex pecting to locate near there perma nently. Mr. Camp has been interest ed In Pendleton creamery but sold his Interest to Richard Mayberry and will locate In the Golden state. If it is possible to do so Mr. Ko mura will engage with farmers ts furnish them full crews for harvest, guaranteeing that the crews stay un til harvest is over. He says the Jap anese laborers can be secured at from $1.75 to $2.00 per day and that they will do as much as an ordinary white man In hot weather. The Japanese have been successful ly Introduced into the beet district's of the west and In many places are used exclusively ln the sugar beet fields and he sees no reason why this labor should not be used extensively in the wheat belt n tiff
