PEXDLETOX ACADEMY
AFTER MORE STUDENTS
All Business Men and Property Own
ers Asked to Attend Gathering at
Commercial Club Thursday Eve
ning. When Plans for School Will
Be Made Known Endowment to
Be Secured at Some Time in the
Future.
An important meeting of local
business men and property owners is
to be held in the Commercial associa
tion rooms Thursday evening. At
the time the subject of the Pendleton
academy will be up for consideration
and It is desired to have all the bus
iness people of the city present.
At a meeting of the board of man
agers of the association, held yester
day afternoon, Dr. C. J. Smith, repre
senting the trustees of the academy,
and President W. H. Bleakney, were
present. They explained regarding
the present status of the school and
the statistics given by Rev. Bleakney
showed the institution to be of v&rt
benefit to the city.
At some time In the future it is
proposed to secure an endowment
for the academy so as to insure a
permanent revenue for the mainten

Upon a campaign for students for the

MIXERS FEDERATION
MAY DEPOSE MOVER
Denver, July 13. A determined
fight to depose Charles H. Moyer as
head of the organization will be made
by the Butte, Mont., delegates to the
annual convention of the Western
Federation of Miners, which meet In
this city today. The Butte delegates
are pushing P. W. Flynn, of Butte,
for the presidency of the order, and
with this Idea in view are' advocating
the abolishment of election of offi
cers by the convention in favor of an
election by referendum vote. Presi
dent Moyer has not announced wheth
er he would be a candidate for re
election, but it Is understood he would
accept the honor if offered him. Moy
ed's imprisonment at Boise In con
nection with the Haywood trial has
undoubtedly strengthened him with
the order, and he probably will have
the full strength of the delegates out
side of the Socialist element. The So
cialists will fight not only for the
overthrow of Moyer, but also of C.
E. Mahoney. The question of affili
ation with the Industrial Workers of
the World, the Socialist organization,
will again come up, but unfavorable
action is almost a foregone conclusion.
Reading of reports of officials took
the time of today's session.
TWO-CENT FARE IS
REPORTED TO BE COSTLY
Chicago. The claim of Illinois rail
roads that the 2-cent rate, while stim
ulating travel to a marked degree,
had reduced the revenues of the roads
from passenger traffic almost to the
ruination point, is borne out by a
comprehensive Investigation by the
Santa Fe road.
The Iliinals Railroad Commission
insists the law has been beneficial to
the roads. The latter say they have
been compelled to employ much ad
ditional equipment and more help to
handle the Increased travel, which did
not, by a large sum, compensate them
for the extra expense.
The Santa Fe worked under the
operation of a similar law In Kansas
where a careful record was kept for
the first year. The Santa Fe carried
654,000 more passengers than it did
the year previously under the 3-cent
law. Meanwhile revenues from pas
senger traffic for the same period
decreased $297,000.
Railway men say this does not be
gin to tell the real loss, which is to be
found in the great expense for equip
ment and additional employes, the re
vision of schedules and wear and tear
of property due to more constant use.

Portland, July 13. Thirty thous

sold to Eastern timber men. The am

1700.000.
The region In which this body of
timber lies Is as yet remote from rall

first of a dozen new combined har

acre field of barley south of the city
this morning and began the season's
run of harvesting. The grain on the
lowlands is now fully matured ami
the harvest will be under full head
way by the middle of the coming
week. A week's rain has delayed the
work, but It did no harm to the rip
ened grain, while It made the crop
on the uplands, Insuring more than
the average yield on the largest
acreage ever grown In the county.
the bluestem wheat now being cut
has been largely contracted to the
milling companies for SI a bushel
and the farmers are expecting that
the main crop of spring sown wheat
will bring 85 cents or better. The to
tal of the crop that will be routed
through the Lewiston gateway this
year is estimated at 10,000,000 bush
els. Xez Perce and Camas prairies
will have the largest crops ever har
vested In that section, owing to the
good yield and the Increased acre
age, and as this is the first year that
the railroads have operated on the
prairies they will market at the least
expense and get tho highest returns.

of prison fare during their month be

pated in the recent suffragette riots
today refused to pay fines of $25
each. When summoned Into court
for sentence they announced It
would be useless to impose fines up
on them.
"We will go to prison, but will nev
er pay a fine," they declared In uni
son. The magistrate offered to dismiss
them on payment of $25 each, saying
the alternative would be a month In
Jail. The women were obdurate and
submitted to incarceration. When
taken to Jail they were offered break
fast but refused food. They declare
they will stand by the terms of their
"strike" and will not touch food.
The women were arrested while at

DRY BY ACCIDENT

came about because three members
of the board of trustees resorted to
strategy when they found themselves
In a corner. There was a sewer ordi
nance that they wanted to defeat, so
they discovered that they had busi
ness in Chicago the night of the board
meeting, and their absence broke a
quorum. They beat the sewer ordi
nance. But all three trustees had
forgotten that the licenses of the five
saloons expired July 1, and that these
had to be reissued by the board or
the bars would be closed. Now, the
saloonkeepers are acting as soda wa

the entire police force, who Is In a
