From September 18 to October 3

Every effort In being made by the

ing a greater effort to secure private
exhibit.
At a meeting of the fair commis
sion yesterday afternoon Judge Lowell

by Judge Lowell at the request of the
commission and the Judge performed
the same service last year.

of the sturdy men who first settled
this section of the county and the
program will be arranged as much
as possible for their enjoyment.
It Is the desire of the fair people to
leave the Pioneer Day program en
tirely In the hands of the Umatilla
county pioneer association. To this
end the officers of the association
have been nsked to draw up a pro

so. Reminiscent talks by several
well-known pioneers will likely be a
feature of the afternoon's program.
Wednesday has been designated as

the discussion of political Issues. The
various political organizations of the

the endeavor to recover this son, re

Breen, who has served two terms In
tho penitentiary for various offenses,
was to havo returned the boy to his
parents yesterday afternoon, In ac
cordance with a pardon, which would
have Insured him his liberation on a
third conviction, but Instead of
making good his word In turning Ccch
over to his anxious parents, whose
heartstrings have been torn by the
child's disappearance, Breen after
telling Butler thnt he was going Into
tho hills to meet the people who had
the lad, walked calmly away through
the timber, and failed to return with.

Springfield, Aug. 18. At a Joint
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
and 800 members of the Business
Men's association, strong resolutions
were adopted today denouncing the
rioting and assuring the officials of
their support In the prosecution of
the guilty.
Praise for Governor.
Springfield, Aug. IS. Governor"
Peenen Is commended In the highest
terms for his manner In handling the
situation. The resolutions strongly
approve the demand of the governor
that the leaders be prosecuted. Pee
nen says the evidence Is sufficient to
send at least 100 men to the peni
tentiary.
The city Is very peaceful. Five
thousand troops are In complete con
trol. Last night there were but a
few minor outbreaks and several
mohs were fired at by the soldier,
but none hurt and there were no ar
rests. Sinnll Riot at Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 18. A repetition of
the Springfield riots, was narrowly
averted by the police today when ne

the Springfield tronble, threw rocks
and a fierce battle followed. The re
serves were called out. The only one
Injured was a detective who was

party waited for him near Toll Gate.
. Breen, according to the story told
by Brlttan last night, started out to
get tho tooy at 3 o'clock, and was to
have returned within a given time.
But after having waited for several
hours for the return of the ex-convict,
Peputy Butler and Mr. nnd Mrs. Brlt
tan, after notifying the authorities In
Walla Walla that Breen had escaped,
started for the city, and arrived here
at 10 o'clock.
Biding Ills Time.
That Breen was merely using the
parents of tho missing lad as a cats
paw In an effort to get things In shape
so that ho and his horse thieving
"pals" might make a clear get-away,
Is the concensus of opinion.
The horse that Breen reported last
week hnd been shot from under him
while ho was on a similar quest la be
lieved to be cached away In the fast
ness of the mountains near Lewlston,
and that Breen will be fully protect
ed and shielded while making his way
across the mountains from Toll Gate
to the Idaho line, Is also believed to
be a certainty.

What Is the Wenaha Water & Tow
er company and what docs It propose
to do?
This Is a question that has been
asked here frequently since articles of
incorporation for the company were
fil'-d yesterday. The corporation Is
forme, i with a capitalization of $10,
00",. and the Incorporators are J. A.
r.orio, T. J. M orris and Frank O.
Rodgers. The nhjeet of the corpora
tion as expressed In part In .the in
corporation papers by the following:
"This corporation Is formed for the
acquirement of water and water rights
and the construction and maintenance
of dams, reservoirs, ditches and ca
nals for the purpose of rental, sale,
distribution or use of water for Irri
gation and supplying water for house,
hold and domestic consumption and
utilizing the water of any running
stream for generating electrical pow.
er for all purposes and distributing,
selling or using electrical or other
power so developed."
When nsked this afternoon regard
ing the corporation T. J. Morris, one
of the Incorporators, stated that th
incorporators had not yet investigat
ed matters sufficiently to say Just
what would be done.
Company Cn uses' Rumor.
As the company Is manifestly In
tent on developing a power on the
Umatilla at or near Wenaha spring
the formation of the company has set
ninny rumors afloat. Some are ask-
it.g If the formation of the company
does not mean that the city will have
a rival in the matter of securing
water and power from the Umatilla.
Future events may prove such to
be the case. Rut oi the other hand
the small capitalization of the cor
poration would Indicate that It Is
merely planned as a small power
plant for Wenaha springs. At the
time ho secured Wenaha springs, J.
A. Rnrle Indicated that at a later
date he would provide an electric
plant for the resort and he may now
be carrying out that Intention.
But whatever the new corporation
intends doing the filing of the Incor
poration papers have caused a stir
for nt this particular time, while the
city Is seeking a mountain water sup
ply, there Is much Interest In the
scurces of supply.
Company L Will Meet.
Though company L will not drill
tonight, Captain Dan P. Smythe has
called a meeting of the members of
the company for the purpose of dis
posing of several matters thnt are
pending. All members of the com
pany are requested to be present,
without uniforms, for the purpose of
attending a business meeting and re
ceiving Instifuet'ions regarding their
equipment.

"A 'revenue basis;' a 'tariff for

"Republicans believe in granting
labor's every request not seeking to

part of our civilization; we believe In
the maintenance of such an army and
In the upbuilding of such a navy as
will guarantee protection to Ameri

"I approve of the conservation of
the natural resources and of fostering
of friendly foreign relations; the en

the death of the Incumbent; five
times a vice president has been called

the continuance of a wise administra
