At a meeting marked by an un
usually largo attendance as well as
by an organized attempt by a certain

board of directors, J. F. Robinson was
last night unanimously chosen to
head the Commercial assoclaion for

No contest over on office occurred
until the order of election called for
the nomination of nine directors,
when the conflict which all expected
occurred For the past week It had
been reported that a certain faction
of the business men of the city had
been organizing to prevent the re
election of Dr. C. J. Smith to the
board and the rumor was confirmed
by developments last night. The anti-Smith
men were present in large
numbers and had circulated their
printed slato among their adherents.
Fight Is Close One.
However, the friends of Dr. Smith
had not been sleeping ' but their
counter move lacked the systematic

MAN AS MUCH HORSE
AS HE IS CHRISTIAN
"A man is no more a Christian be
cause he goes to church than he
would bo a horse If he went to a sta
ble," said Rev. Evans last night at
the revival in the Baptist church. He
was speaking about the man who lays
at the pool of Hothesda. Ho insisted
that tho thing that made a man ' a
Christian was not Joining the church
"but living seven dnys a week."
By far tho largest crowd heard him
last night that has heard him at all.
As many men as women were In tho
audience.
Rev Kvnns was at his best. IIo
spoke for an hour or more and
brought out some practical lessons
from his subject. Three made pro
fession last night.
At the close Rev. Evans said, "Well
turn to the fellow next to you and
say 'I'm glad to see you' and go
home." Everybody smiled and shook
hands and went home.
TO BE TAKEN UP
Pendleton is to take up the Men
and Religion Forward Movement
which began in the enst several years
ago and which has been spreading all
over the nation so thnt it is fast bo
coming a powerful factor in tho de
velopment of clean manhood. At the
meeting of tho local Commercial as
sociation last night, Principal A. C.
Hampton of the high school, "called
attention to a convention which Is to
be held in Walla Walla all next week
and to which the city has been asked
to send a delegation of young men.
Ho had originally intendod to ask the
association for financial aid In send
ing the representation but, owing to
the deficit which the treasurer's re
port showed, he and Superintendent
3. B. Landers felt that such a request
would be unjust and simply stated
that If any member personally felt
like contributing towards the ex
penses. their contributions would be
gratefully received.

Rock Island Near
Memphis, Dynamite
Express Car.
Alxo Rifle Mail and Mako Off With
Rug of Registered Matter Posses
Pursuing.
Memphis, Tenn., . Feb. 7. Early
this morning seven masked bandits
held up and robbed Rock Island pas
senger train No.. 33 at a point two
miles north of Hurlburt, Ark., and
it is believed that they secured $160,
000 and one sack of registered mail
and niade good their escape, with
large poshes In hot pursuit.
The men made two attempts to
blow up the express car safe with
dynamite.- The explosions were so
terrific that buildings In this city
were shaken.
While advices from the scene of
the robbery state that the robbers se
cured $160,000 from the express safe,
the officials of the express company
refuse to divulge the amount of
booty taken by the desperadoes.
The robbery was reported at Hurl
burt by Mail Clerk Beadle, who es
caped from his car while the robbers
were rifling the mall. He ran the
two miles at top speed and was ex
hausted on reaching the station.
R. R. Officials Deny Amount.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 7. Rock Island
railroad officials today deny that the
Hurlburt bandits secured anything
but one sack of registered mall. They
asert that the explosion of dynamite
set the car on fire and destroyed the
express safe and
id Its
contents.
BOULEVARD OF HARD
SURFACE FOR CITY
If a move that is now under way
is carried out f-uccossfully Pondleton
will be provided with a hard surface
boulevard extending from the Main
street bridge tj the edge of the city
limits and perhaps clear through to
the branch asylum grounds.
Counclimen ore now discussing the
proposition of ordering the paving of
Jaek.son and Raley streets and of one
and po-sibly two streets connecting
those thoroughfares. One route sug
gested is for Bush street to be paved
from Jackson to Raley so as to pro
vide a thoroughfare running along
Jackson, Bush and Raley streets to
the branch hospital. However, tho
advocates of th's plan would also
pavo Jackson street to the end of
that thoroughfare and provide an-
other street, possibly Logan or Per
kins avenue, leading down to Raley
street.
It Is contemplated to provide wide
parking on either side of the boule
vard so as to make tho hard surface
paving B9 narrow as possible. It is
suggested that Lower Jackson should
bo paved for a width of 30 to 36 feet
while Raley street and the connect
ing streets will not need such a wide
driveway as that. Those who uphold
tho hard surface plan declare that
considering durability the hard sur
face paving la not as expensive as
macadam.
It was origlnully Intended to bring
the east side pnving proposition be
fore the council tonight, but owing
to tho fact that the matter has not
been sufficiently considered by the
street committee it is probable tho
matter will go over for a week.
Mayor Matlock, who Is a heavy
property owner on Raley street, Is
quoted as advocating a hard surface
boulevard clear to tho edge of the
city.
Being defendant Is playing a new
rolo for Darrow.

FORWARD MOVEMENT
BY PENDLETON PEOPLE
As a result, a committee was ap
pointed consisting of Secretary Keefo
and the two school men, to make an
endeavor to secure such offerings and
a'ready enough money has been se
cured to send over eight boys. Dean
Tatom volunteerod to pay tho .ex
penses of five delegates and Judge
Stephen A. Lowell, A. J. McAllister
and C. P. Bishop each agreed to send
one boy. The committee desires that
any one wishing to help la the cause
tender the money to any one of the
three members.
In explaining the movoment last
evening, Superintendent Landers and
Principal Hampton declared Its pur
pose to be to secure good thinking
nnd acting among the boys to the end
that a clean manhood be dovelopcd
all over the nation. The movement
is a non-sec tar Ir. n one nnd Is domi
nated only by its one fundamental
purpose.
MACHUS DEMAND MUCH
Thojr Terms of Capitulation Woui.l
Mean No Republic.
Peking, Feb. 7. Pending the com
p'ement of negotiations between the
throne and the revolutionists, an ar
mistice has been arranged. It is ex
pected that at least two weeks will
elapse before the capitulation agree
ment is arranged.
The Manchus want perpetuation of
their titles, retention of the Imperial
family In the Peking palaces, contin
uation of the imperial guard at the
government expense and the right of
the court to exact homage from the
nation. Much of this will be refused
by the rebels.
Progressives 'Draft' Roosevelt As Candidate
Southern Delegates Already Bolting From Taft
New York, N. Y.. Feb. 7. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Ih a cniulidutc for
the republican presidential nomination and announcement of the fact will
be formally nuulv noon.
A definite statement of the candidacy of the "Third Term'' candidate, will
not eoino directly from Colonel Roosevelt hut will be Issued shortly by lead
ers of tho progresslvev wing of the republican party, who until recently have
been supiorting Senator La, Follette.
Tho formal announcement will le signed by George Rreeordj of Now
Jersey; Gifford Pinchot, former chief forester or the reclamation service,
and his brotlKT, Amos Pinchot; Former Vnltcd States Senator Hcveridsev
or Indiana: Medill McCormlek, of Chicago and very likely Governor John
sou of California.
All the progressive leaders today
held a series of conferences, during
which they were in constant communi
cation with Colonel Roosevelt. It is
understood that Mr. Roosevelt agreed
to enter the race "if drafted."
It is not yet known' what Senator
La Follette will do, but it is believed
likely that he is very angry and may
continue in the contest and make his
race alone.
While it Is understood that Colonel
Roosevelt will not personally make
the announcement of his candidacy,
he will, it Is thought, make a public
statement, outlining his principles an
Senator La Follette yesterday de
manded.
Roosevelt today added more coals
to the curiosity fire by calling news
paper reporters into his office and
showing them excerpts from certain
.speeches and letters of Abraham Lin
coln, and saying that thev neculiarlv
applied to' his own lase.
The letters said tint President Lin
coln did not intend to give out his
stand on a certain matter, as it would
simply give his enemies a chance for
misrepresentation.
"I make this explanation as a
friend," said Colonel Roosevelt, and
he gave the impression that his si
lence was to keep ammunition from
those whom he referred to as "the
enemy."
"THE BLUE BIRD"
WAS APPRECIATED
It was a de'ighted audience that
listened to the reading of Maeter
linck's "The Blue Bird" by Cora Mel
Patten at the City Hall auditorium
last evening under the patronage of
the Women's Ciubs. The charm of
tho beautiful allegorical drama, rep
resenting the quest for the Source of
Happiness, was fully realized in tho
subtle and intelligent interpretation
by Miss Patten. The naturalness of
Miss Patten's art lends itself admir
ably to the tender simplicity of Mat
terllnck's drama and the large audi
ence was impressed with the won
derful truth of the lesson contained
in "The Blue Bird." The entertain
ment was one of the things really
worth while that Pendleton people
have had the privilege of enjoying
this year.
"The Blue Bird" Is a drama by
Maurice Maeterlinck and there is a
copy of the book at the Pendleton
library. The library also contains
the following articles relating to the
wonderful play:
