New Law Goes Into Effect Monday
AH Near Beer Saloons Now Closed
Stringent Ordinance to Be Modi
fled Slightly.
Without a dissenting voice and
-with but little discussion the applica
tions of licenses under tne new li
quor ordinance which were tentative
ly approved at the last meeting of
the council, were finally considered
last night and the applicants were
granted their licenses. These will be
dated January 1 but will not become
effective until the 2nd as the 1st falls
on Sunday. By the action of the
council twelve men are granted sa
loon licenses, four were granted drug
store licenses, one a restaurant li
cense and one a wholesaler's license.
The twelve chosen to serve drinks
over the bar are the same whose ap
plications were considered favorably
last week. They are as follows: Wil
liam W. Hoch. James H. Taylor, W.
G. Bogart, Alfred Schneiter, Herman
Peters, Martin Anderson. Henry La
tourelle, George Darveau, W. A.
Brown, Antone Kraft Paul Hemmel
garn and H. F. Peters Drug store
licenses were granted to the Pendle
ton Drug company, the Tallman Drug
company. F. J. Donaldson and Koep
pen Brothers, a restaurant license was
gTanted to Gus La Fontaine, proprie
tor of the Quelle, and a wholesaler's
license to Henry Kopittke for the
Pendleton Ice and Cold storage com
pany. This latter was, however,
granted with the provision that the
secretary of the company approve the
bond given.
The granting of these licenses fol
lowed the recommendation of Ot7 At
torney Raley, who reported that all of
the applications and bonds were reg
ular and in compliance with the pro
visions of the ordinance. However,
he reported further that none of the
buildings in which are now located
near beer saloons fulfilled the re
quirements that no more than one
sixth of the frontage be of opaque
substance. Some discussion follow
ed which showed plainly that it was
not the intention of the council to de
mand the entire remodelling of the
fronts, and the city attorney was fi
aally instructed to prepare an amend
ment which would secure a good open
front and at the same time be fair
to the licensees. This amendment
will be presented at the next meet
to Drinking Places Closed.

THREE YEAR CHASE
Another evidence of the preserver
ence of Sheriff Taylor as a tracker
of criminals was furnished this morn
ing when he arrived from Lebanon
with Harry Queen, wanted here for
stealing a horse three years ago from
James Baldwin of Ukiah. The crime
was committed in July, 1907, and
at that time the sheriff chased Queen
for several months but he succeeded
in covering his trail finally. It was
through the railroad company that
the recent trace of him was secured
and Taylor apprehended tiim In the
Linn county town where he was em
ployed. A broken nose and other well
defined marks of identification were
the direct cause of his capture.
It to by the goodness of Ood that
in our country we have those three
unspeakable precious things: freedom
of speech, freedom of conscience, and
the prudence never to practice either
of them.

BAKER'S DEFEAT COMPLAINTS
CONSIDERED RIDICULOUS
(Continued from Page One.)
Irnto Citizens to Protest.
Baker, Ore., Dec. 28. Determined
efforts will be made by the business
Interests of Baker to have the deci
sion of Acting Governor Bowerman's
asylum set flslde and the location de
cided strictly upon its merits. Busi
ness men here allege Bowerman has
not given them a square deal and will
demand that Governor Benson take
up the matter and see that a fair de
cision is given. If they fail In this,
the courts will be resorted to and an
effort will be made to nave an In
junction issued against locating the
asylum at Pendleton.
People here have no grudge against
Pendleton, but believe that Bower
man used power in selecting the site
to further his own interests and have
evidence pointing in this connection.
A delegation of Baker business men
visited Salem some days ago to make
a final appeal to the state board in
favor of Baker. The reports they saw
on file there of soil experts who visit
ed all thelites and secured data upon
which to make reports were In favor
of Baker, and the engineers' reports
made recommendations In favor of
this city. It Is said Governor Bower
man ordered the engineers and soil
men to withdraw the reports and
eliminate everything favorable'to Ba
ker. The reports now on file are not
the same as the ones viewed by Ba
ker men a few days ago.
The Baker Commercial club has the
matter in hand and a definite plan of
action Is expected to be outlined
Thursday. Attorneys for the club now
In Portland will arrive home tonight.
A meeting will be held tomorrow and
an appeal made to Governor Benson
and if he falls to take action the courts
will be resorted to.
The deal is said to be the rankest
that has ever been made in this part
of the state. At a banquet given in
his honor here Bowerman said he
would select a site stricity upon the
merits of the localities.
Another raw part of the deal is the
appointment of J.' D. Plamondon of
Athena, as superintendent of the asy
lum. It is said that C. A. Barrett
promised his vote to Bowerman as
leader of the senate in exchange for
this favor, as Piamondou is a relative
of Barrett. .
IU Grande Is Philosophical.
"We suppose the proper thing to
say right now is that an Insane asy
lum is an undesirable thing to have
in a county; that It repels rather than
attracts settlers in this vicinity; that
it discourages the young who get Jobs
as attendants, etc., etc.
"Yes, we might say all those things
at this time of defeat, but we are not
going to do It. It Is enough to know
that the little city of Union made a
most gallant fight for what she be
lieved she was entitled to and lost.
Her methods were fair, honest and
upright, because Tom Wright, W. J.
Townley and a half hundred more
Union citizens have done their fight
ing that way for two score years and
It Is the only way they know. They
put forth every merit Union possess
ed, and we want to say they had a gal'
axy of facts which seemed to us im
possible to overcome. These men did
not enter the contest making it a life
or death proposition, but they put up
a campaign that is a credit to their
city, even in defeat.
"And to be a good loser is better
than to be a winner, for aa N. K.
West used to remark, 'Anybody can
win occasionally.' Union Is a good
loser. There are no sore spots on her.
She feels that she made good in ev
erything asked of her by the board,
and with that she is willing to dismiss
the matter and take up something of
more Importance." La Grande Ob

Chief of Police Dean quit and with
him go 14 patrolmen, the entire

Britain's Pauperism Less.
John Burns, president of the Lon
dongovernment board, added to the
Joy of his party In the midst of the
general elections which are losing In
interest. He points out that pauper
Ism in Great Britain has greatly de
creased in amount, although It has
Increased in cost. At present the out
door pauperism Is the lowest ever re
corded for England and Wales, and
the lowest In London for seven years,
while the indoor pauperism of the me
tropolis Is the lowest in three years.
Salt Output of Turks Island.
Consul J. A. Howells reports that
the salt crop In Turks Island for the
season Just ended Is estimated at l.
076,000 bushels, about half the
amount gathered In the best years.
The price has held firmly at 6 cents
per bushel for coarse and 8 cents for

60 TO PORTLAND
OFFERED GOOD POSITION
WITH PROMINENT BANK
Cashier of First National Not Fully
Decided as to Action Notwithstand
ing Report Published in Portland
Paper Yesterday.
"G. M. Rice, who has been cashier
of the First National bank of Pendle
ton the past six years, has been ap
pointed cashier of the Lumbermen's
National bank of Portland and will
take charge of his new office soon af
ter the first of the New Tear.
"Mr. Rice has Just returned from
Portland, where he spent several days
looking over the situation before fi
nally accepting the position with the
Portland institution.
Mr. Rice learned the banking busi
ness under the tutelage of Levi An
keny, of Walla Walla. His first posi
tion of trust was at WattsDurg. Wash.,
where he served as cashier of the
Waitshurg National bank for six and
one-half years, during which time the
deposits Increased from (30,000 to
$175,000. He was then transferred
to Mr. Ankeny's bank at Dayton,
Wash. During his service there the
deposits increased from 1200,000 to
J6O0.000.
When C. B. Wade, cashier of the
First National hank of Pendleton mis
appropriated large sums In 1905, re
sulting In almost wrecking the insti
tution, Mr. Ankeny transferred Mr.
Rice from Dayton to Pendleton. The
deposits In the Pendleton bank had
dwindled from nearly $1,000,000 to
$469,000 when Mr. Rice took charge
of the institution. Under his direc
tion the bank rapidly recovered from
the effect of Wade's peculations and
it now carries deposits aggregating
$1,600,000.

Report Not Authorized.
The foregoing dispatch appeared In
the columns of the Portland Oregonlan
yesterday morning under a Pendle
ton date line but It Is probable that
it was written in that city as it waa
not authorized here.
It has been common property for
the past two months that Mr. Rica
had been offered the position of cash
ier of the Lumberman's National bank
and it has been known that he has
been strongly considering the prop
osition, but he has perslstenlty re
fused to conffVm or deny any and all
reports, stating that tho matter had
not been decided definitely.
In spite of the announcement In
the Portland paper, when seen today
Mr. Rice still maintained his non
commital attitude stating that the
change of positions was not such a
well established fact as to warrant a
public announcement to that effect.
He admitted that he was considering
such a proposition and considering it
seriously but would not say that the
matter wes decided beyond all possi
bility of a doubt.
Many of his friends believe he will
accept the proferred position, and,
while they regret very much to see
such a constructive citizen leave Pen
dleton, they recognize tho tribute
which Is paid him by the selection.
Still others of his friends refuse to
place credence in the announcement,
pointing out that his Interests are all
with the Tendleton bank and iVtt at
the last minute he will decide to re
main here.
While It is very probable that Mr.
Rice has made up his mind to accept
the position, from his reluctance to.
make any statement for publication
it is also probable that his decision ia
not beyond recall,
