Waive Examination at I'romvutor'i Instance.
When the grand Jury h called Monday-
the state of Oregon, In the person
of DlHtrlct Attorney Phelps, will com
mence upon a crusade of prosecution
uch as has never been witnessed here
before. The state now has evidence,
gathered by Thlel detectives,, suffic
ient to furulHh several hundred In
dictments and over 100 witnesses have
already been summoned to testify
against those who sold them liquor.
They will tell the truth or be charged
with perjury.
An Interesting Glimpse.
I'p to this forenoon District Attor
ney Phelps was reticent to divulge
any of the state' plans, but when Im
portuned this morning to disclose
what he has up his sleeve he decided
to let the puhllc Into his confidence.
"When the prohibition law was
adopted by Hip people of this county
I said that the law would be inforced
ond It will be." said he. and the set
of his Jaw showed that he meant what
he said.
Dctccllte Wa Ruy.
"For thf past three, weeks," declar
ed the 'prosecutor. "I have had a Thlel
directive nt work in this county. Dur
ing that time we have gathered suf
ficient evidence to justify the return
ing of hundreds of Indictments. Rep
utable parties were with the detec
tive when liquor was purchased so
that his evidence will nut go before
the grand Jury unsubstantiated.
'Tartles who have been purchasing
Illicit liquor are known and they will
be called upon to testify before the
grand Jury. Over inn such witnesses
have already been summoned and
the grand Jury will probably call
more. These witnesses must tell the
truth before the grand Jury or they
will be subject to prosecution for per
jury." Net I Full.
Thus It will be seen that the net
which has been spread for the "blind
pig' operators Is already full. Wheth
er or not there will be any escape
for thosenow In the meshes will be
up to the grnnd Jury and his honor.
Circuit Judge Bean.
The detective employed by Mr.
Phelps has been in the service of the
county and he Is not a prohibition
league secret service man as many
have supposed.
Girls Were Drunk.
A feature of the cases now In cm
Iryn Is the fact that the cvolcne
shows that In numerous Instances
liquor was sold to minors, sometimes
to little girls. One Instance Is known
where several girls of tender years
were provided with liquor and became
Already the movement for the re
vlvul of the Commercial association
Is underway and If the right support
Is only given It will not be many
months until Pendleton will have a
commercial club of which It will be
proud.
"I read the editorial in the East
Oregonlan last night and It was all
true," eald President Alexander of
the association this morning.
."But the Commercial association Is
not going to die," ho continued.
Tendleton cannot do without a com
mercial club. During the past eight
or 10 months the association has done
more than In the past. We had
some splendid meetings there last
spring and the meeting last Saturday
was a fine one"
"But the club rooms themselves are
a disgrace. It Is not right to ask
visitors to go there, the rooms are so
dirty and the furniture so poor. We
must havo a revival at once and re
model the rooms so as to make It a
nice place."
Will Start Revival.
It Is now the Intention of President
Alexander to commence Immediately
upon the plans for reviving th asso
coatlon, for making It a now club
throughout. His plan is to revise

drunk In the rear of a former sa
loon. Another fact disclosed by the In
vestigations Is that In many cases the
"bllndplg" operators have govern
ment licenses, Issued Blnco July 1.
This fact will be damaging against
them, for the law provides that the
holding of a government license shall
be prima facie evidence that liquor
Is being dispensed.
The prosecutions will apply not
only to Pendleton violators, hut to
those In other towns of the county as
v eil. The detective has visited Echo,
Pilot Rock and other places with sim
ilar success.
Will Await Grnml Jury.
Ten o'clock this morning was set
for the hearing of the cases against
the 12 men who were arrested during
the raid last Saturday night. But at
the appointed time the attorneys for
eight of the men said they would
waive examination and have the cases
go over to the grand Jury. The re
maining four cases were those of Bo
gert, Kergan and Noble and "Scotty."
No disposition of those cases was
made at the time. J. T. Hlnkle ap
peared r.s counsel for Pocert. Ktepan
and .Noble while "Scotty," who Is in
the county Jail, was not brought
forth.
Prior to the hearing the attorneys
for the eight men Intimated their In-
t ntlon of having the cases tried out
before the Justice of the peace. How
ever, this move was opposed by the
district attorney who declared that II
such' a course were taken he would
dismiss the cases anil make the
charges directly before the grand
Jury.

Whether or not the association shall
retain Its present quarters Is a matter
to he decided later. The present
rooms will either bo wholly remodel

The upper story of the Association
block hns been suggested as a pos
sible location for the revived club,
provided the owners will make th
necessary alterations In the rooms.
That location would furnish tho as
sociation with ample room for Its
various departments.
It Is now the Intention to move the
association library to the city hall

will then have to be mado In tho

tense excitement prevails here
as the result of a fabulously
rich strike made by O. J. Darst,
a prospector In Gold gulch, who
discovered a ledge of rock as-
saying from $4000 to $4500 per.

a project now being considered by the
board of directors of the St. Paul
road which is In session here today.
It is announced at the offices of
the compr.ny that the matter had
been presented to the board at this
morning's meeting and that the or
ders for electrification may be Issued
any day.
Engineering features of the under
taking have been studied out by some
of the most expert engineers In the
country and the plan now considered,
while Involving the expediture of
millions will eventually effect a great
saving.
It Is proposed to harness the un-
limited water power of the Bitter
Hoot mountains and use the electricity
on all mountain grades.
The new line will pass several hun-1
drcd feet through tunnels In the
mountain district.
Engineers declare the project ts'and refuted the statement, using as
not only feasible, but practical, and
will hecome necessary within a com
paratively few years owing to the
rapid exhaustion of the American
coal supply.
