Washington-Oregon Traction Company. $20,000 Is payable after the

$20,000 Is due after six miles of rond have been built and car ser
vice established. The final $10,000 Is nut due untiljhe rond is elec
trified. This is to be done within two years.
2. In addition to building six miles of track In this city an I vi
cinity the company also agrees to establish a park, spending at least
$10,000 In Improving the same; to spend not less than $200. noo in
this vicinity within the next two years and to build not less tlian 50
miles of Interurban line within a reasonable, time.
3. Pendleton stockholders are to have at least one member upon

J. The directors of the traction company sign personal bond to
fulfill terms of contract or to repay to Pendleton stockholder the
amounts of their subscriptions In cash or In properly of equival
ent value.
5. The contract and bond are to become effective February 1,
on condition that the $50,000 Is raised.
At a meeting of the Commercial as
sociation traction ommittcc held last
evening next Monday was set ns a
dnt for formnlly starting the work
of Talslng the $60,000 stock sugscrlp
tlon which Is necessary to Insure the
building of the Washington-Oregon
company's line. At that time the
movement to raise the money will be
launched and It will be started with
all the force the committee ran mus
ter behind It.
Up to this time the committee has
devoted its time almost entirely to
the bankers of the city. Sub com
mittees h,ave been negotiating with
G. M. Itice, cashier f the First Na
tional, and with W. U Thompson,
president of the American national
during the entire week. Lust night
these committers reported the pro
gress of their work and at a two hour
Bcsslnn the general situation was gone
over pro and con.
While the committee has been as
sured of much support there nre also
some pessimistic features to the situ
ation and whether or not the move
ment is to sucoedd Is something yet
to be determined. Hut the commit
tee Is hopeful that when the work gets
fully under way the movement will
prove so popular that ample support
will be given to Insure the raising of
the needed amount. As Indicated last
night the spirit of the committee Is
to raise tne money if possible to do
so and If the task is found impossible
to submit a full report showing what
me . and whnt Influences are re
sponsible for the failure.
Haste Is Necessary.
As the contrart with the Washington-Oregon
company Is so worded
tlint the money must be raised by
February 1, the committee is going
to endeavor to raise the full amount
within the next ten days. According
ly those who nre friendly to the pro
ject are asked to unite at once In the
work In behalf of the same.
At the committee inciting last night
the publication of the contract-bond
was authorized. The following is that

for a revolt by the young leaders of

day when It was learned they were
preparing an amendment to the or
ganization's constitution curbing the

amendment will be Introduced for
tho purpose of taking from the pres

Louis Long of Spokane, to the floor
and ended a contest in which Ed
wards h.ii all the better of it up, to
the Instant of the alleged foul. Long
admitted after the fight that 'Edw ards
was the best man of h's weight he
ever met. This being a "no decision"
contest the referee would give no
opinion. That Rdwards made the
better showing there, can be no doubt
but public opinion Is divided on Ui
matter of the foul.

i l ands in Jail.
New Tork, Jan. 21. Jack Johnson,
the negro claimant to the heavy
weight pugilistic honors, must ap
pear in court tomorrow to answer to
an alleged assault upon Norman Pin
der, a negro, who refused to buy him
a bottle of wine. According to Plu
der, Johnson came into a cafe where
he sat with two women at a table.
P.nder invited him to drink and the
fighter ordered wine. "I remember
when you were glad enough to drink
beer with me out of a rusty pail,"
Pinder said. Then, according to Pin
der's story, the black giant struck
and kicked him. Johnson was ar
rested and after spending three hours
in Jail was released on $1000 bail.
Johnson's recent actions here rave
aroused much adverse comment and
it was predicted that if convicted to
morrow he will be sentenced to serve
a tr;:n in Hlackwoll's Island.

'followed his example also his foot

i wounded and caught. He was Indicted
j by the grand jury on the charge of
assault with intent to kill. He asked
for a change of venue to this county
and it was granted. Though It was
j necessary to bring all the witnesses
from Morrow county here the expense
was probably no greater than It would
have been to try the ease in Heppner

was required to select the Jury.
The trial of the caso occupied three
