Cusli Prize Given Away.
A five dollar gold piece will
be one of the door prizes given
to the visitors at the poultry
how this evening. The money
Is put up by the Curtis Poultry
Ranch of Hcrmlston, and the
Northwest Poultry Journal of
Salem. There will be at least
five other prizes.
With the distribution of nearly $50
worth of prizes among the visitors
present, the second annnnl exhibition
of the Umntllla-Morrow county poul
try association will pass Into hlBtory
at the armory tonight. As this Is the
last, and best night. It is expected
that the attendance will be the great
est despite the storm.
According to Judge Olmlin, the of
ficers of the association and promi
nent poultrymen who have been
present, there never has been a show
that passed off so smoothly. The ex
hibitors have all been satisfied and the
visitors pleased. The work of the
Judge has been most satisfactory.
The only weak point has been the
matter of attendance. Despite the
fact that the show has been one of
the host ever held In the northwest
and that birds have been shown that
would take prizes In any show In the
land, the people of Pendleton and sur
rounding country have not displayed
Interest enough to make .the show
self-sustnlnlng.

cuing alive the ten miners entombed
In tho Leyden mine was abandoned
today. Tho searchers returned to the
surface and reported they failed to
find the men who have been entomb
ed for sixty-two hours. The state la
bor commissioner predicted today
there will bo other explosions in the
mines in Colorado unless radical steps
are taken to safeguard lives. He said
the mines are in a badconditlon.
Four Rodies Found.
The bodies of four men were found
in the Leyden mine behind the steel
dorway in a passage leading from
shaft No. 1 to Bhart No. 2. The door
had been closed evidently to shut off
tho poisonous gas which got through.
The rescuers have continued their
search.
The dead recovered were Frank
Klsgarl, Lester Jones, Levi Devi
and Frank AuguRtlne, night foreman.
As the families of the dead were out

ON DIRECT PRIMARY
STANDPATTERS WOULD
STOP SENATE REFORM
Resolution Now Ilefore Senate to be
Held In Committee by Root anil
llnle Country Would Endorse Di
rect Election of Senators.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 17. The
steady growth of sentiment favoring
the direct and popular election of
United States senators today caused
the leading stand-patters to confer
over plans to head off the movement.
If is asserted by friends of the direct
primary that Senators Hale and Root
are to keep In the committee on Ju
diciary a resolution calling for the
direct election of senators and It Is
said they hope to keep the measure
In committee until the end of the pres
ent season. Over 27 states are on
record already as practically favoring
the direct primary. Among- them are
Oregon, Washington, Monlanu, Ida'
ho and California.
It is believed that if a constitution
al amendment should be submitted to
the people It will be adopted. The
houso has four times passed a reso
lutlon favoring the direct election of
senators but each time the senate has
killed the measure. Other states fa
voring it are: Arkansas, South Da
kota, Minnesota, Utah, Illinois, Texas,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Wyom
ing, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri,
Iowa, I,ouisiana, Colorado, Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Nevada and Indiana.
FAMOUS WATER CASE
TO BE ADJUDICATED
Monday morning will probably wit
ness the final adjudication of tho wa
ter rights of the Little Walla Walla
river, litigation over which has oc
cupied tho attention of the local
court for four years. All of the at
torneys who are interested In the two
suits have been notified to be pres
ent and it is practically certain that
Judge Bean will hand down a decree.
The titles of the suits are The Little
Walla Walla Irrigation District
Union vs. The Finish Ditch company
and the Peacock Mill company vs. the
City of Milton, but In the two cases
there are something like four hun
dred defendants. In a previous de
cision handed down, Judge Bean held
that all of the persons who had been
using water from the river for ten
years or more were entitled to .one
Inch per acre and the names of these
persons will probably be made known
In the final decree. The attorneys in
terested in the suits are: C. M. Ra
der of Walla Walla, Sharpsteln &
Sharpstein of Walla Walla, S. D. Pe
terson of Milton, C. T. Godwin of Ba
ker City, Frank Crow of Walla Wal
la, Phelps & Steiwer, Fee & Slater,

BITT DERIDES METHOD
Massachusetts Senator Advocates Es
tablishment of Tariff Commission
Wholesale Revision Ruinous to all
Concerned.
Washington, D. C, Dec. 17. Sena
tor Lodge today attacked the Cum
mins resolution to provide for sched
ule by 'schedule revision of the tariff,
lie declared he favored the purpose
of the Cummins' measure but differ
ed as to the method of execution.
Lodge added that he thought the sen
ate resolution would be sufficient and
that it was unnecessary to bind both
houses to a certain mode of proceed
ures. He said also he favored the es
tablishment of a permanent tariff
commission.
He said a wholesale revision was
an unmitigated evil "Not only ruin
ous to the commercial and business in
terests but to the party responsible
for them."
Lodge pointed out the recent revis
ion as an instance saying that the
changes in the tariff not only failed
to benefit business but the usual re
sult happened regarding the party.

COIN FROM BANK

end, by a hobo, known as "Shorty."
Oswold Hunt, a patron of the bank,
presented a check for $150 and the
cashier had counted the money out
In bills and pushed It through the
window toward Hunt. Hunt, little
suspecting, glanced away from the
stack of bills and when he turned
again to pick It up it had vanished.
anc he saw it go through the door in
the hands of a gentleman, who says
he Just arrived from Spokane, and
though belonging to a wealthy family
In the east, was out of the "eats."
The alarm was raised and the bank
ers set out with Mr. Hunt In pursuit
of the thief. A chase, only half a
block long, ended In front of Stew
art's opera house, where the bearer
of the long green was overtaken and
the money returned to the rightful
owner.

During Year.
SOME FIGHT OVER
STATE AID RESOLUTION
Representative Men of County Gath
ered at Commercial Club Discuss)
How to Get Good Roads Recom
mend Tliat Service as Supervisors
He Made Compulsory,
Tlio resolution against state aid for
county road purposes was adopted by
the association after considerable dis
cussion. Adopting the report of their com
mittee without a dissenting voice the
Umatilla County Good Roads associa
tion went on record at Its meeting
this afternoon as favoring certain pro
visions which will secure for the
county better public highways
throughout. One of the principal rec
ommendations adopted was that the
county levy a special tax of $70,000
for road purposes and another that
the services of a county roadmaster
be dispensed with. Smaller road dis
tricts, more and better road tools, and
increased salaries for road supervis
ors were among the other matter
recommended.
At the time of going to press tne
members were discussing a resolution
presented to the effect that the as
sociation go on record against the
proposed state aid to counties for the
purpose of buildincr roads. TtiA nwu
vailing sentiment was that state aid
a3 at present outlined will not be of
any benefit to eastern Oregon, while
eastern Oregon would have to pay her
portion of the taxes to build a great
automobile way for western and
southern Oregon. Senator-elect Bar
rett and J. T. Lieuallen were the lead
ers in the fight against state aid but
others were equally urgent In Its fa
vor. Practically the entire legislative
delegation for the county was present
and about 25 members of the associ
ation were in attendance. President
Henry Taylor occupied the chair.
Report of Committee.
The following is the committee's re
port in detail:
We, the undersigned, your, commit
tee on resolutions and recommenda
tions, respectfully submit the follow
ing report:
Section I. We would recommend
that the County Court levy a special
tax of seventy thousand ($70,000) dol
lars to be used for road purposes.
Section II. We would recommend
that the County Court dispense with
the services of our county road master
aa we feel that the results are not as
satisfactory to the tax payers as the
results obtained under the district
road supervisors. ,
Section III. We would recommend
smaller road districts, more and bet
ter road tools, especially road grad
ers. Section IV. We would respectfully
recommend to the Umatilla county
members of our next state legislature
that they see to it that the road law 1
so ammendert as to mako tho
supervisors compensation three ($S
dollars per day, instead of two and
50-100 ($2.60) dollars per day. We
would further rocemmend that th
County Court be given power to com
pel any citizen in any road district to
serve as road supervisor for his dist
rict at least one year out of three, un
less some trood and vnlM miin pun
be given to said court for failure of
said citizen to so serve.
