WILL NOT DISBAND
JII MCMXS AT POULTRY
SHOW WIN MUCH PRAISE
Gave Sindi Thorough Satisfaction
That They Will Probably' Form
Permanent Organization Chicken
Show Is Unqualified Success.
With 200 roosters crowing a f.nal
defiance at each other and with four
hundred hens Joining in with their
cackllngs, the first annual exhibit of
the Umatilla-Morrow County Poultry
association, passed Into history Sat
urday night, a grand success from
every standpoint. The management,
the exhibitors ami the citizens are all
surprised and delighted with the
showing made In every department.
Mtich credit is due to Mr. and Mrs.
C. K. Cranston for the success of the
cat department, while Attorney C. J.
Ferguson is entitled to the credit for
the success of the bench show.
Hut aside from the number and
quality of the fowls themselves, the
feature of the show which caused the
greatest amount of surprise and came
in for the greatest amount of praise,
was the orchestra. The musicians
themselves, were surprised to find
there was so much real talent In the
city, while the citizens were so de
lighted that they are making an In
sistent demand for the organization
to be made permanent. Director Frank
Carruth has been the recipient of
much praise for the ability displayed
by himself and associates In being
able to put on five concerts of such
high grade with only two weeks' no
tice. It therefore seems evident that one
of the good results of the poultry
show will be the formation of a large
high grade musical organization. The
ladles of the city are asking for this
and as business men have expressed a
willingness to keep up the organiza
tion, If some way, is devised for de
fraying their expenses, Pendleton will
be assured of nn orchestra of 12 or
15 pieces and able to furnish liiusio
which will compare favorably with
that to be heard In any of the larger
cities.
According to present plans a series
of six concerts will bo given under the
auspices of one of the ladies' clubs of
the city and in addition the organiza
tion will be In existence and prepared
to furnish music for any and all occa
sions. There Is also talk of the for
mation of a band in connection which
would furnish evening concerts dur
ing the summer, an end for which the
Civic club has been working for many
months.
Bills Wanted at Once.
All those having bills against tho
poultry association are requested to
send them to the secretary. E. F.
Averlll. at once, so that they can be
paid by the executive committee with
out de!ny.

Many Destitute in Other Otic Be-'

t'ppcr Stories Diwiw Increases.
Paris, Jan. 21. With two hundred
thousand people homeless in Paris
and suburbs, three hundred thousand
unemployed, hundreds still imperiled
by the floods and acute distress ever
at hand, the government announced
today that the "situation was well In
hand." The statement simply means
the crisis from the flood itself is past
and if every thing ges well and none
of the threatened dangers material
ize, the city is in a position to recover
front the terrible blow. The Seine is
receding slowly, but only at the rate
of half an Inch an hour. At night the
Mage of the Pont D'Auseriitz was 2T
feet nine inches, while at 8 it was
twenty-six feet live Inches.
The temperature at noon was thirty-four
degrees, the atmosphere mur
ky, but there were no clouds, threat
ening rain. Paris is beginning to
realize she didn't suffer alone. Bry
Sur ll.irtie is reported to have two
thousand destitute, and suffering.
Nearly every city and hamlet along
the rivers of eastern and southern
France are In the same condition.
Soldiers are guarding property, dis
tributing food, and using boats to res
cue families from the roads in such
suburbs as Alffortville and Gennevil
lieis. .Many refugees have been with
out food for days and are sick and
delirious.
Sidewalks of the Rue St. Lazur and
Gaumotln collapsed today showing
there is still much danger from cave
ins Streets are being reopened
slowly, and It will be several days be-
I fore anything like normal conditions
I are resumed and months before the
wrecked subways will be restored,
j Many families are living in upper
stories, and the big stores are mak
ing boat deliveries. The danger of
disease has Increased in several parts
of the city today. The government
will probably supervise disinfecting.

Uluefields, Jan. 31. Conflicting
rumors are arriving today from pro
visional headquarters near Acoyapa.
The. government reports that several
skirmishes have been fought and a
number of minor engagements occur
red, but the main body of troops had
not yet clashed. The Estrada forces

He with a number of fellow cruis

Portland. Jan. 31. Binger Her

was known as a man of good reputa
tion for honesty and integrity by the
testimony of Governor Benson, Chief
Justice F. A. Moore, Attorney Gen
eral Crawford and some six other well
known Oregon citizens in the Her- j

proceeded to take a fall out of Henry

of the government by putting Charles j
llo!strum of Salem on the stand, who :
testified he had paid three visits to
Meldrum and that. at neither of these
hud he seen either Maysr Meldrum
in the office. This is on contradiction
to the testimony of Meldrum. and H.

and had the talk with Mays about
the Blue mountain reserve.

Paynter has resigned ns a member of

matter and will wire today.
SEATTLE WOULD NOT ROB
SPOKANE OF APPLE SHOW
Seattle. Seattle Is not in any sense
a rival of Spokane for the national
apple show. It Is not seeking to have
the fruit exhibition removed from the
eastern Washington city. Considera
ble newspaper discussion, originating
with Spokane papers, on the advisa
bility of a new location, preferably an
eastern city, met with decided oppo
s'tlon In Seattle, where it Is believed
that the greatest benefits of the ap
ple show come from bringing eastern
ers to visit the orchards and lands
available for cultivation In the Pa
cific northwest The convention com
mittee of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce sent out a circular strong
ly urging this view and stating that,
if the show was to be removed from
Spokane for any reason, Seattle
would be glad to take care of It. An
expression of opinion of tlu- eo,.:
merclnl organizations In the fruit
growing districts wns solicited. This
is the extent of the movement which
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
has unjustly called an effort to "rob"
that city of the apple show. Seattle's
whole interest In the matter Is to
keep the show In the northwest,
where it will best serve the welfare of
all sections.
D. C. Gurdane, president of the
('mat ilia-Morrow County Poultry as
sociation, left for his home in Hepp
ner this morning, after having attend
ed the big show In this city.
DISCOVERS
to Meadow to run the line of a sec
tion of land. He was to have staid
at another camp at Meadow, but a
few days afterward when It was found
he luul not appeared at the other
camp, search was instituted. For five
days the search was continued. On
Saturday night the party came upon
Schweringen's prostrate form beneath
a large tree where he had probably
lain for several days. He was uncon
scious, and nearly dead from cold J
and hunger. Little hope Is held out
for his recovery. ' I
ALMOST
MINERS MAKE DEMAND.
Want Increase in Wage. Shorter Day
and Hull' Holiday on Saturdays.
Indianapolis, Jan. 31 A demand
for en Increase of 10 per cent per ton
handled was recommended today in
the report made by the scale commit
tee to the United Mine workers. The
prsent rate Is ninety cents per ton.
Besides an increase of ten cents per
ton, for pick mining, the committee
recommends a demand for an eight
hour day with a definite provision for
a half holiday every Saturday.
The committee will not agree with
the proposal of President Lewis that
no general strike be called in case the
negotiations are still pending when the
present contract expires. The report
recommends a Joint conference to be
held between miners and mine own
ers for the purpose of reaching a set
tlement regarding the demands. It
further proposes in case there is a
prospect of a general strike, that union
organizers be rushed to all non-union
districts for the purpose of complet
ing preparations for such a contin
gency. The convention immediately
adopted that section of the report re
garding a demand for an increase in
wages and an eight hour day.
PLANS TO EIGHT BEEF
TRUST WITH WOMEN
New York. Jan. 31. Mrs. Anita
Comfort Brooks, .president of the
Gotham club, today inaugurated a
card crusade asking every woman in
the United States to write President
Taft demanding he break the meat
trust. Mrs. Brooks sent a thousand
letters throughout the country as a
start for an "endless chain." If suc
cessful, the next attempt will be to
break the "fish trust." in the same
way. It is reported the "meat trust"
plans to fight the boycotters on their
own ground by reducing the shipments
of dressed meats, and raise prices be
cause of the "shortage."
COUGAR ATTACKS BOISE
MAX WHILE HUNTING
Boise, Ida., Jan. 21. W. D. Cole, a
Boise druggist, while hunting yester
day, was attacked by a wild cat with
in five miles of Boise and was saved
from death only by the good shot of
another member of the party, who
killed the animal after it had come
down.
DEGREE IS VERDICT
JURY IN ARNOLD CASE
RETURNS ABOVE VERDICT
Prisoner Will Be Sentenced Wednes
day Morning at Many Believe
First Degree Verdict Should Have
Been Returned.
"Guilty of murder in the second de
gree." This was the verdict brought In by
the Jury In the Arnold murder trial
Saturday evening. Less than five
hours deliberation was necessary to
arrive at a verdict.
Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock Is
the time set by Judge Ban for pass
ing sentence and at that hour, the
convicted man will be sentenced to
spend the remainder of his natural
life in the state penitentiary.
Though Arnold did not seem to
realize the seriousness of the crime
with which he was charged during the
progress of the trial, he now seems to
appreciate the fact that he is an ex
ceedingly lucky man and has express
ed such an opinion. In the opinion
of most of tho.- who have followed
the Uwj tiLic.j uuni start to finish
the man should have been convicted
of first degree murder. They say the
evidence introduced by both sides
would Indicate that the murder was
the result of a premediated and care
fully worked out plan and that it was
committed in cold blood. They also
say that the evidence, while entirely
circumstantial, pointed unmistakably
to Arnold as the guilty man and they
fail to see how. If guilty at all, he was
not guilty of a cold blooded murder.
TACOMA FIFTH LARGEST
CITY IN U. S. IX AREA
Seattle. As a result of the recent
annexation election, Tacoma claims
;h.- distinction of being the fifth larg
est city In the United States, in point
of area inside the corporate limits.
Should the validity of this extension
be sustained, the city will cover 110
square miles. Prior to the election
Tacoma's area was 35. 3S square miles.
Other large cities In the northwest
stand as follows. In this regard:
Portland, 4 5 square miles; Spokane 37
square miles; Seattle, S3 45 square
miles, of which 54.03 square miles is
land and 29.42 square miles Is water.
The four cities outranking Tacoma are
New York with 326 square miles; New
Orleans, 192 square miles; Chicago
190 square miles; Philadelphia, 129
square miles.
J. M. Hayes, one of the local repre
sentatives of the Oregon Fire Relief
association, vent to Hermlston this

The fight for a traction system for
Pendleton has not been given up. On
the other. hand plans for a larger and
systematic campaign are now under
way and the members of the local
committee are hopeful that when the
work is completed a traction line for
the city "will be assured.
M a meeting of the Committee held
in the office of Dr. C. J. Smith at S
.o'clock yesterday the situation was
discussed pro and con. Though the
committee regrets that thus far the
big property holders have not done
their part towards backing their
enterprise they feel that there is yet-,
time to secure such support from
that class. It was also the sentiment
of the committee as expressed yester
day to continue the fight as long aa -anything
like headway can be made..
During the past few days the com
mittee has been beseiged by anxious
inquirers as to the status of the
movement. These queries show- the
sf ntlment of the community to be .
heartily back of the move and has
been decidely encouraging to.t the
worker.
Robert Laing Subscribed.-.
Among those who have come for--ward
as earnest supporters ' of the
movement is Robert Laing, the well "
known retired farmer and who also
owns some local realty. Yesterday
Mr. Laing volunteered a $500 sub- -scription
to the committee, through
Mayor Murphy. This action by Mrj
Laing and promises of similar support
from other parties indicates that
considerable money may be raised at
once when the committee again goes
forth in search of signers.
Meeting Tomorrow Night.
At the committee meeting yester- .
day it was also decided to go before -the
Commercial association tomorrow
night with a report and a request for
the appointment of additional com- -mitteemen.
It is desired to enlarge
the committee by the appointment of
some five or ten more members and
then to enter upon a systematic,
energetic campaign for tht remainder
of the fund.
