ALL CHURCHES AT
FREEWATER UNITE
Presbyterian Minister is
Chosen to Fill
Pulpit.
Hereafter the church people of
Freewater will be united into one
broad, federated community church
Instead of working for a single end
through several denominational or
ganizations. This Is the result of a
meeting of the presbytery of Pendle
ton, which was held at Freewater, Or.,
yesterday with tho following mem
bers present: Dr. W. II. Bleakney,
Rev. B. F. Harper, Rev. J. F. Vernon,
Rev. T. J. Timblin. Rev. S. J. Camp
bell and Rev. J. M. Gornelison, with
Master Vernon Purdy as correspond
ing member.
Tho two organized churches, the
Presbyterian and the Congregational,
will turn over the property and the
Methodist people et al, will enter in
to the same federation, making it
certain that no other organization
will bo formed.
The federated cnurch called Dr.
V. II. Hleakney to be their pastor.
Although a strong pull has been ex
erted by many Portland brethren to
secure his services for Tillamook
church, Dr. Bleakney has decided to
remain at Freewater because the
Presbytery saw the hearty spirit of
the federation and saw it almost a
sure failure unless he remained. So
the Presbytery refused to allow Dr.
Bleakney to go since he was a pastor
of the Freewater Presbyterian church
and must be released by the Presby
tery, t
All those entering1 into the federa
tion will retain their denominational
affiliations and contribute to the be
nevolences of their own church
boards. This being looked after in
detail hy a committee ' for the pur
pose anil arranged for in the plan of
federation. Yet so far as the work
of the church and religious forces are
concerned in Freewater, there is but
one church. All church letters de
posited with the Joint committee will
he returned to any one asking when
they remove and unite with some
other church.
Tho most splendid spirit exists in
the federation largely due, as all
agree, to tho magnanimous spirit of
Dr. Bleakney, who is and has been
the sine qua non of such a get togeth
er spirit.

TRUSTS PLEA IS CAUSE
Former President Will Outline Plat
form on Which Ho Will Muko Race
for Presidency Before Constitution
al Convention.
Xew York, Feb.' 14. A serious split
bev.veen Oolonel Roosevelt and pro
gressive leaders who are grooming
him to oppose President Taft, is im
pending, according to reports from
the Outlook office, as a result of Col
onel Roosevelt's disinclination to
adopt a radical progressive stand in
Ms address to the Ohio constitutional
convenon at Columbus Wednesday.
It is reported the hitch resulted
over the endorsement of the trusts'
pleas for less business hysteria, which
Col. Roosevelt threatened to incor
porate in his speech.
The progressives told him this
would eliminate the western progres
sives and cost him the nomination.
A cor-ference is on this afternoon
trying to eliminate this phase of his
speech. '
Where Col. Roosevelt stands in the
present political mixup wlrt be defi
nitely stated by the former president
himself at Coijmbus in his. speech
Wednesday. This was positively an
nounced by progressive leaders today.
He will plainly set forth what his
definition of republican progres.iive
ness Is and elucidate the nucleus of
a platform on which he will seek the
presidency if nominated.

gered by quotations attributed to Im
migration Inspector F. Gordon, as
serting that the Textile workers' strike
at Lawernce, Mass., was called "mere

SMITH WITHDRAWS
MALONEY WILL RUN
County Judge Boomed For
Delegate to Democratic
Convention.
Dr. C. J. Smith of this city will not
enter the race to be a delegate to
the democratic national' Iconvention
to be held at Baltimore this summer
and County Judge J. W. Maloney will
take his place upon the ticket.
Some time ago friends of Dr. Smith
started a boom to bring about his
election as a delegate to the conven
tion and it met with general fayor
due to the prominent part the doctor
has had in the political life of east
ern Oregon, especially in democrat
ic circles. However the doctor never
made a final decision regarding the
matter until yesterday when he let
it be known to friends that he pre
ferred not to make the race.
Thereupon County judge Maloney
was urged to get into the race and
he has consented to do so. He will
probably seek election as a delegate
from the eastern Oregon district and
not from the state at large.
Friends of Judge Maloney declare
he is the ideal man tp go to Balti
more as one of the ten men from
Oregon and they predict his election.
The Judge is one of the most popular
lemocrats in the county and has a
very extensive acquaintance over the
rest of the state. He is particularly
strong in Eastern Oregon.
Judge Maloney is a progressive
democrat and is personally favorable
to the nomination of Governor Wood
row Wilson as the democratic stand
ard bearer.

DEATH CLAIMS FOUR

home on West Alta street, Mrs. Fran
cis Allen passed away and on the res

Jim Billy, a well known Indian, an
swered the last summons.
L. T. Link was one of the best
known characters in tho county.
Coming to this county 13 or 18 years
ago. he has resided in different local
ities about Pendleton continuously,
most of the time being engaged in
teaching school. During the past two
years he has been following his cho
sen line in Echo, but prior to his em
ployment there had been teaching at
various times in Uklah, Pilot Rock,
Gurdane, Meacham and other outly
ing districts. There was much of
mystery attached to him and none of
his friends ever learned aught of his
life before coming here or of his rel
atives. Ho was well educated, hav

branches of learning. For some time
