The city of Pendleton will have
prohibition lawn of it own and will
enforce them on It h own responsibll
lty If ordinances Introduced last
night are made Into law.
Two ordinances covering the subject
have been prepared at the Instance of
Mayor Murphy ami were presented to
the council last night. They arc now
in the hands of the ordinance com
mittee and seemingly both measures
will bo passed without opposition.
The first ordinance presented Is one
which prohibits the sale of Intoxicat
ing beverages within the city. The
language of the ordinance Is Identi
cal with that of the state law except
ing In one or two unimportant par
ticulars. The penalty for violating
the ordinance was left blank and will
be filled In by the committee.
Near IWmt Ordinance.
The iiecond ordinance proposed Is
Intended to place resorts thatxsell
near beer and other non-Intoxicating
malt Illinois upon a license basis. The
amount to be paid for the licence Is
not yet fixed, nor b:u the penalty for
violation" yet been agreed upon.
Before a man may secure a license
to sell near beer or kindred bever
ages he must make written appllca-
tlon to the council stating where his
place Is to be located and he must
have his application endorsed by at
least three reputable citizens. The
application must also set ,forth his
former occupation.
Under the terms of the ordinance
proprietors of near beer establish
ments are barred from selling drinks
to Indians or minors.
When the ordinances were present
ed last night Mayor Murphy explain
ed that he was responsible for them
and asked their passage In order to
make It possible for the police de
partment to proerly handle the lo
cal situation.
Herniating Autos.
Another ordinance up last night
was for the regulation of autos wlth
Jn the city. It provides a maximum
speed, of IS miles nn hour for autns.
bicycles and motor cycles and speci
fies that machines shall not use a
greater speed than 10 miles an hour
In rounding corners, The ordinance
also provides that after night all
autos. motor cycles, etc., shall bo
equipped with lights, showing white
to the front and red to the rear.
This ordinance was passed by the
council last night.
Milk Ordinance Walts.
When time came for considering
the dairy ordinance Chairman Hln
kle said he wished further time in
wheh to go over the ordinance and
Intimated ho might be against the
measure. Councilman Knight, also a
member of the ordinance committee,
sold he heartily approved of the ordi
nance provided some further changes
can be worked out satisfactorily.
At the present time the difficulty Is
over the question as to whether or not
the ordinance as drafted applies to
butter as well as milk.
In behalf of 0. S. Wheeler, Charles
J. Ferguson presented a petition ask
ing that the city enforce the provis
ions of the ordinance prohibiting ve
hicles nnd machinery from being
LOOKING K& TRUE IS COMPLETED
"Looking Olass Trail," In the Blue
mountains, Is completed, according to
rc ports received In Pendleton from J.
M. Schmltis, supervisor of the Wena
ha national forest reserve, and hence
forward may be looked to for a great
saying to ranchers and stockmen In
parking through the rough hills of
that district. Mr. Krhmltz also re
ports the completion of two rangers'
cabins, on at Tolle Gate ranger sta
tion and one on the I'matlll arlver.
The Looking Glass trail extends from
the Toll Gato to Mottet meadows,
through 12 miles of as rough and
rugged section of the country as can
be Imagined. Only those who have
attempted to travel this route before
the trail was built, can appreciate
the benefit to be derived from the
ne wtrall.
plled In the streets. According to the
complaint the abuse of this ordinance
has become so bad In the vicinity of
Alta and Cottonwood streets that the
petitioner's photographic business Is
Injured. The petition was referred
to the street committee.
Another Important piece of busi
ness last night was the presentation
o( a petition asking that a street be
establlsbed along' the Walter's mill
race leading from the Main street
bridge to Arc street. The petition
was turned over to the street committee.

Portland. Sept. 1". The factional
fights seem to threaten the success of
the republican party In Oregon and
because of the struggle between the
Bourne, Fulton and other Interests,
Frank Hitchcock, national chairman,
has sent an agent to Portland to learn
what Is going on, ascertain who is
working for the ticket and which
politicians are out with the ham
mer. The agent is urmsuy aicnarg,
wno Hl,ip,.j lnt0 Portland last spring
and arranged to frame up a Taft dele
gallon tp the Chicago convention. At
that time ho carried letters from some
one "high In authority," which he
flashed In the eyes of the most entu
slastlc of Koosevolt supporters, and
by means of Is letters killed off the
Kooscvelt enthusiasm and started
Taft's boom rolling.
The representative of Hitchcock Is
here for the purpose of trying to
smooth over the differences among
the factions nnd endeavor to get them
working In harmony for Taft and
Sherman. While here he will hold
heart-to-heart talks with various re
publicans and ascertain what they
are doing and what others are doing.
Mcllarg visited the state headquar
ters last evening and was on deck
this morning, lie may break In on
the finance committee, which Is to
meet this afternoon, and If he does
tho finance committee may find out
what hope there Is for a contribution
from the national campaign fund.
The visit of the special agent Is
conrtrued to mean that Hitchcock Is
not over confident of Oregon, other
wise It would not be necessary to send
a representative here for the purpose
of getting the warring leaders togeth
er. Mcllarg practically admitted this!
feeling on the part of the eastern men
for Oregon last evening.
One fact Impresses Itself on the!
republicans who are looking to tho
future. Tho presence of nn ngent In
the state will have much to do In the
way of directing honors. Tils report
Is expected to have a bearing when
Taft wants to know where the credit
should go for the work In Oregon and
who Is .entitled to dictate where the
pie Is to bo cut and In what manner
distributed. Without the presence
of a special representative, anyone
might set up a claim for recognition,
but when all are supposed to be
watched, everyone will get In and
hustlo for the ticket.
To give an Idea of the saving II
means to rangers and stockmen, who
pack thousands of pounds of supplies
over this route In a season, It is stat
ed that the time of making the trip
with a pack horse Is reduced from 10
tii 12 hours to two or two nnd one
half hours. Tlte labor and supplies
expended In cutting this 10 or 12
miles of trail through the dense
brush and timber cost $500. Those
acquainted with tho trail say It Is
money well spent.
The cabin built nt the Toll Gate
ranger station cost about $475, and
the cabin on the Umatilla cost about
$200.
Mr. SchmlU says plans are already
laid for other cabins and trails to be
built as soon as the rainy season
opens, eliminating the dnnger of for
est fires.

In the village, be he exalted In station
or the most lowly, attended a recep

on Sagamore Hill. President and Mrs.
Roosevelt will greet the townspeople

When It became known last night
that President Roosevelt Intended to
give a reception to his neighbors and
ft 'ends the news spread quickly and
soon everyone was talking about the
affair and making preparations for
the event. Four years ago Mr. Roos

occasion a huge punch bowl, kept
ever filled, stood within convenient
reach and each of the 2000 or more
people who attended the reception
was permitted to keep a punch glass
as a souvenir.
. This being President Roosevelt's
last year In office, he wishes to re
new old acquaintances, for during the
last few years he has been compelled
by prss of business to shut himself
off to a great extent from his friends
and neighbors at Oyster Bay.
In the way of entertainment of the
1000 or 2000 people who will be
present the president has secured the
services of the German Saengerbund
of Hieksville. L. I., and this locally
famous group of singers will be sta

man will have resumed work. The
question of the wage scale will be
taken up Immediately and while set
tlement is pending the men will work

need for apprehension on the part of
the local consumers, but an Investi
gation shows this need not be the
case.
The supply of Rock Springs coal
on hand will probably be exhausted
in a very few days, but other coal is
plentiful and it Is doubtful If the
visible wood supply was ever great
er. While there are six fuel dealers In
Pendleton there are only three who
handle the Rock Springs coal. They
are the Umatilla Lumber company,
Henry Koppittke and Ben Burroughs,
the new proprietor of the Laatz
Bros. ynrd. The bins of the first two.
are practically empty at the present
time and while Burroughs has con -
sidcrable quantity on hand it is not
near enough to supply the need of the
city for any length of time.
