EAST DEMONSTRATES
SUPERIORITY OVER WEST
Seattle, Dec. J7. The Oak Park
high school eleven demonstrated the
superiority of Chicago football over
that of the Pacific coast yesterday "by
defeating the Wenatchee, Wash.,
eleven 22 to 0. Wenatchee waa out
classed at every point by the Chicago
boys, but the game was made Interest
ing by the brilliancy with which the
Oak Park team unfolded play after
play that had never before been seen
on a western gridiron. Oak Park
scored three times on touchdowns,
kicking one goal, and twice on place
kicks. Wenatchee never got nearer
Chicago's goal than the 25-yard line
and that only once.
Wenatchee, hitherto undefeated,
had a slight advantage In weight, but
the teamwork was poor, the boys were
slow on their feet, and at times seem
ed to suffer from stage fright. Oak
Park's startling plays went off like
clockwork and the rapidity with which
they introduced new tricks showed
that they were not depending upon
any particular style of play. The for
ward pass was frequently resorted to
by both sides, but where Wenatchee
made miserable failures of their at
tempts, Oak Park carried the plays
through with perclslon.

Mena, Ark., Dec. 27. Fire which

UMATILLA PROJECT NOT TO
BE EXTENDED AT PRESENT
The promoters of the Roundup are
already getting Into the harness tc
pnll for the second annual frontier
show In this city. At a meting of the
board of control and the directors
yesterday afternoon, the various
chairmen of the different commit
tees were named. At the annual elec
tion of officers held last November,
Bine directors were elected, each of
whom was to be made a chairman of
a separate committee in charge of
some department of the work that is
necessary to the success of the Round
up, the assignments to be made by
the president. These were the as
signments announced yesterday.
The following are. the appointments
made: Chairman of finance com
mittee, George Hartman, jr, assist
ant cashier of the First National
bank; chairman of grounds commit
tee. Lawrence G. Frazier of the Fra-xier-Nelson
book store; chairman of
publicity committee. Lee D. Drake,
advertising manager of the East Ore
gonian; chairman of commit'ee on
competitive events, Deputy District
Attorney Frederick Steiwer; chairman
of committee on non-competitive
events. Fred Earle of the Peoples
Warehouse; chairman of Indian com
mittee, Roy T. Bishop of the Pendle
ton mills; charman of livestock com
mittee. T. D. Taylor; chairman of ac
commodations committee. Attorney
Dan P. Smythe; chairman of trans
portation committee, Harry Gray of
the Gray Eros, grocery.
Each of these men is either by pres
ent occupation or previous experience,
especially well qualified for the par
ticular branch of work to which he
has been assigned and each will have
the right of appointing other mem
bers to serve on his committee with
him and Is allowed to use his own
Judgment as to the number of fellow
workers he needs.
Other appointments were also made
at the meeting yesterday. W. E.
Brock was named as a committee of
one to secure estimates of the cost of
a grandstand with a seating capacity
of 5000 and of bleachers of the same
capacity. L. G. Frazier was also au
thorized to secure estimates on the
cost of a track and the preparation of
grounds for stadium purposes.

a new art In this country much free
dom was allowed the local engineers
in the design of minor structures.
While this was a wise policy in the
early stage of the work. It has re
sulted In some complicated and un
necessarily expensive structures. With
the present knowledge of the com
parative merits of the different types
it is believed that standard designs
of the simplest, satisfactory type
should be adopted for all minor struc
tures. "The most uncertain feature of
nearly all the projects is the water
supply. This is under state control,
and in the prosecution of Its work the
reclamation service bears the same re
lation to the state as to a private
individual or corporation. Where the
water rights have been adjudicated,
che rights of the United States are
well defined, but elsewhere they are
uncertain and may prove to be ma
terially different from that assumed.
"it is recommended that, wherever
possible, steps be taken to secure an
' early adjudication of water rights on
all projects where such adjudications
! have not yet been made and that
pending such action, expenditures be
kept within the probable rights of the
United States.
"The actual cost of completed work
has almost invariably exceeded the
original estimates, and In the case of
some structures, has been two or
three times as larse. This Increase
in cost has been the cause of much
of the discontent among the settlers.
"It was partly due to a general in
crease in the cost of labor and ma
terials, partly to underestimates and
an Insufficient allowance for conting
encies, and partly to the necessity of
doing more work than was originally
contemplated."
A Ono Eared Rabbit-
Albert Humphrey, who lives on
Perkins avenue in this city, was ex
hibiting the mounted head of a freak
rabbit on the street yesterday. The
animal, which was one he had shot
himself had but one ear, and an ex
amination of the head shows that
there has never been another.
Suicide Is lJll to Rest.
The body of May Long, the unfor
tunate young woman who recently
committed suicide In this city and of
whose relatives no trace could be
found, was Interred today In Olney
cemetery by Coroner Folsom. One
hundred dollars were raised by sub
scription to provide for a decent burial.

Two Errors Corrected.
In the East Oregonian yesterday un
der the department of Newsy Notes
were two short items which should
have appeared In Saturday's Issue but
which were unfortunately crowded
out. The will of Madison Jones was
therefore ri fcrred to as if it were filed
on Sunday, anil the election of offi

on Sunday night. Apologies are made
for the mistake.
Thief Attacks Officer.
London, Dec. 27. Another strik
ing example of the dangers to which
unarmed policeman are exposed In
pursuing burglars was given yester
day, ' when Policeman Haytred waa
fired at four times while chasing a
burglar. None of the shots was effec
tive. When the policeman finally
grappled with the fleeing law break
er, the latter pressed the muzzle of
a revolver to the policeman's fore
head and pulled the trigger. The last
cartridge failed to explode and the
thief was taken to jail.

BOY CAUSES ARREST
OF ACCUSED MAN
Through the Instrumentality of the
young son of Henry Latourelle, C. W.
Bowers now occupies a cell In the city
jail charged with burglarizing the
Koch second hand store on Webb
street last night. He stoutly main
tains his Innocence but the officers
believe they have woven a network of
proof about him from which It will
be difficult for him to escape.
The door of the Koch store. was
broken In early In the evening and a
number of razors and knives stolen.
Later young Bowers approached the
Latourelle boy and sold him a knife
for 35 cents after which he disposed
of a safety razor to Al Richardson, the
big bootblaok at the St. George hotel.
The boy this morning gave the oficers
a clew upon which to work and with
in an hour Chief of Police Gurdano
and Officer Glen Bushee had Bowers
under arrest.
.Young Latourelle was taken to the
marshal's office and at once Identified
Bowers as the man from whom he
had purchased the knife as did Al
Richardson, and, as the razor pur
chased by, the latter bore the same
cost mark ns those left in the case at
the store, the evidence Is pretty com
plete. Mr. Kotch stated this afternoon
that Bowers came to his store yester
day afternoon and attempted to sell
him an overcoat, saying that he want

telephone message. Bowers has been
in this neighborhood for several years

TAXED TO CAPACITY
Something of the enormity of the
Christmas trade can be had from sta
tistics kept by the Penland brothers
who made the deliveries from sixteen
stores in the city. On Saturday, the
day before Christmas, they kept sev
enteen men at work with seven wag
ons throughout the entire day and 66
trips were made by these wagons for
the delivery of goods. One wagon was
kept busy picking up packages from
the different stores, making on the
average of . a round trip ever 25 min
utes. This wagon unloaded at the
Smith-Crawford building which serv
ed as a clearing house from which the
other wagons were sent out over the
town.
Claude Penland estimates that dur
ing the day 1200 packages were deliv
ered to the houses of the city and
that with the loss of only one which
contained ten cents worth of celery.
The only other loss reported Is the
breakage of four eggs. Every man
who was on the Job was through with
his work at 7 o'clock which speaks
well for the system of the Penland
Bros, when It Is remembered that In
former years the poor delivery men
could be seen still on their routes near
the midnight hour.
Of courso these 1200 packages rep
resented by a portion of one day's)
city trade and when the country trade
Is taken Into consideration, some Idea
can be had of the volume of Christ
mas business done her, Some store
also employed express wagons to
make Christmas deliveries.
Student to Protest. '
St. Petersburg, Dec. 27. A deputa
tion of students from Odessa arrived
yesterday to protest against the de
cision of the government to expel
students of the University of Odessa
because of the recent disorders there.
The students say that the official ver
sion of the affair was untruthful.
They say that the students did not
fire a shot, but merely broke win
dows. They declare also that a Judi
cial inquest Into the affair and a
search of the precincts of the univer
sity did not disclose any firearms and
that the reports of the examining doc
tors did not certify to the wounding
of any policemen.
