Friday night there will be held the

arrangements are being made for a
big time Saturday night, when all

The Judges are working over time
within the hlg pavilion In an effort

awards have already been made for
the sheep, hogs, needlework for
ladles. domestic science, canned
fruits and dairy products.
This afternoon the Judges on nee

and poultry are busy but since the
number of exhibitors In these depart

not finish before tomorrow.
Despite the fact that there were

San Francisco, Sept. 30. That there
Is nothing in the constitution to pre
vent the delegation by law to the in
terstate railroad commission of the
r.ou'cr to fiv ruilro.'irl rtPH was de
clared in effect by Judges Gilbert,
Morrow and Doss of the I'nlted States
circuit court today when they sus
tained the demurrer of the commis
sion to the application for an In
junction Med by the Southern Pa
cific and threw the railroad out of
court In Its attempt to enjoin the en
o m of lower rates from the
Willamette valley to San Francisco.
The railroad will be glv. n until to
morrow morning to make answer.
The decision was the first of the
kind handed down since the passage
of tho Interstate rate law by con
gress. Today's victory was won by Luther
M. Walter, special attorney for the
railroad commission. It means that
the railroads cannot attack the new
rate on Oregon lumber on legal
grounds, but must plead that the rate
Is confiscatory if it gets it before the
court for review.
The commissioners' demurrer to
any testimony given by the railroad's
attorney at the hearing of the demur -
ii r shuts off all attack on fixing the
rate from a legal standpoint unless;
the road appeals to the I'nlted States

TO liOlL ALL WATER
Much Typhoid Attributed to Water
Supply Whereas In Vast Majority
of Caw's Came from Country Gro
cers Should Screen Produce to
Guard Against Contamination
Through Flies.
"Pendleton people should be more
careful than they have ever been in
guarding against typhoid,' 'declared
Dr C. J. Smith this morning. "Ty
phoid cases are now more prevalent
than at any time during the summer
and this year they appear to be due
to local causes, where as in the past
most of the typhoid has come here
from the country."
"All water should be boiled before
being ued and grocers should see
that nil their produce is thoroughly
screened In order to prevent con
tamination from flies."
Though he has had confidence in
the Pendleton water In the past Dr.
Smith believes that this year the
supply is responsible for much of tho
typhoid now existing. But in his
judgment much of the trouble comes
I from the dead ends of the various
j mains. He says that a number of re
, cent cases have occurred In families
living in tho lower pai ls of town and
I using water from the dead ends. In
'order to lessen the danger the dead
ends should be flushed often, even if
the water supply is low.

Denver, Sept. 30. That branch

man change the attitude of people of
the United States towards banks and
bankers was declared by Dr. Wood
row Wilson, president of Princeton

Ranker Nation," before the bankers'
convention here today. Mr. Wilson
said:
A system of branch banks, very
simply and inexpensively managed
and not necessarily open every day In
the week, could be organized, which
would put the resources of the rich
banks of the country at the disposal
of whole countrysides to whose mer
chants and farmers only a restricted

titude of plain men everywhere to
wards the banks and banking would
be changed utterly within less than
a generation. You know that you are
looking out for investments; that even
the colossal enterprises of our time,
do not supply you with safe invest
ments enough for the money that
comes In to you.
InveMiiionis in Country.
There would be plenty of invest
ments if you carried your money to
the people of the country at large and
had agents in hundreds of villages
who knew the men in their neighbor
hoods who could be trusted with loans
and who would make profitable use of
ik.m Vnnr monew moreover, would
quicken and fertilize the country, and.
that other result would follow.
That the average voter would learn
that the money of the country was
not being hoarded: that It was at the
disposal of any Inmost man who could
use it: and that to strike at the banks
was to strike at the general con
venience and the general prosperity.
Refor9 Flanks Opposed.
Opposition In the convention was
strongly emphasized towards the pos
tal savings banks and the proposed
