COUNCIL PASSES THREE ORDINANCES FOR
ROUNDUP LAND AND MORE STREET LIGHTS
Three ordinances were passed by
the city council last night, one order
ing the purchase of the lot on the cor
ner or Starr and Court street owned
by Miss Sybil Clopton, one ordering
the purchase of the triangular tract
Just back of the Clopton poperty
from W. F. Matlock and the third
authorlxlng a new contract between
the city and the Pacific Power &
Light company incorporating the pro
visions suggested at the last meeting
of the council.
The property purchased will be
added to Round-Up Park and the ac
tion last night was the result of an
urgent request from the directors of
the Round-Up association who desir
ed to enlarge the park before com
mencing upon their program of beau-
tlflcatlon and improvement. The
price paid for the Clopton lot was
$1000 and for the Matlock parcel
$350.
Contract Can Bo Terminated.
The new contract with the power
company as ordered last night, while
it Is to extend over a period of five
years, commencing May 1, 1912, con
tains a provision whereby It may be
cancelled should the city decide to
Install a municipal plant. It also
provides for 62 aro lights Instead of
42 as heretofore and at a price of
$5.60 each per year instead of $7.00
apiece which the city is paying at
present.

Mrs. C. B. Wade, California
Suffragette to Work
In City
With a-vlew to establishing eastern
Oregon headquarters in Pendleton and
organizing the club women of this
section of the state In behalf of the
equal suffrage movement, Mrs. C. B.
Wade, formerly of Pendleton, and now
a resident of Los Angeles, arrived
here yesterday and is already busy
with her work.
At present Mrs. Wade Is the guest
of Mrs. Thomas Thompson at the
latter's home on Water street. Later
on an office may be opened here for
the purpose of serving as headquar
ters for carrying on the campaign In
eastern Oregon. In either event Mrs.
Wade expects to be here most of the
time and to devote her efforts from
now until next fall to working in this
way in behalf of suffrage.
Mrs. Wade served for five years as
president of the women's clubs of
Oregon and is therefore In very close
touch with the work of those organ
izations. She was an active worker
in the recent equal suffrage campaign
in L09 Angeles and In the Los An
geles city election. She Is quite fa
miliar with the methods followed In
California and feels that similar
methods will prove effective In Ore'
gon.
It Is the hope of Mrs. Wade that
the local club women will become In
terested In the suffrage campaign and
that a club may be formed for the
purpose of enlisting the women In
the move and creating sentiment in
favor of suffrage. Plans for the or
ganization have not yet been perfect
ed as Mrs. Wade first wishes to con
sult with the Ideal ladies In regard
to a method of procedure. However,
she has been given much encourage
ment and Is optimistic over the out
look. Mrs. Wade Is working under the
National Women's Club association
which Is a separate organization from
the one under which Mrs. Erghott,
who lectures here tonight, is serving.
However, the two organizations have
a common end and work In harmony
for obtaining "Votes for Women."

BAD CHECK MAN
AGAIN FINDS VICTIM
Makes $35 Purchase at
Market and Nets $15
On Deal
Another stranger with a penchant
for easy money profited by his smooth
tongue here in Pendleton yesterday
afternoon when he successfully passed
a. forged check upon the Downey &
Marsh market on Main street. Ho
made good his getaway but the offi
cers have secured a good description
of him and are conducting a search
for him.
He appeared at the market about
4 o'clock yesterday dfternoon and,
with the announcement that he was
starting a boarding house near the
branch hospital, proceeded to select
a choice assortment of viands and
vegetables. In payment he tendered
a check made out to J. W. Chatlin
and which he endorsed with the same
name and in the same handwriting,
but the latter fact escaped the notice
of the proprietors at the time. Thi
check was on a Denver bank and
called for the payment of fifty dol
lars. The stranger"s bilk amounted
to thirty-five dollars and the balance
was given to him In cash. ' '
The fraud was discovered when the
meat' and vegetables were dispatch
ed to the address given and no such
address was found. The officers were
immediately notified and took up the
trail.
The game worked by the stranger
yesterday is the same by which sev
erai local merchants were victimized
recently and, according to reports
from Walla Walla, the same game
has been successfully worked there
several times In the last few weeks.

PARTY is run
Pinchot Takes Slap at Re
cord of President
Taft
Washington, March 28. Despite
Colonel Roosevelt's denial at St. Lou
is, that he intends to bolt the repub
lican party If he fails to secure the
nomination. Taft men here interpret
his declaration at Chicago, "Republi
cans are not oound to respect a nom
ination secured by thuggery," to mean
that he will. They say he will head
a third party if he fails to get the re
publican nomination.
Gifford Pinchot, a Roosevelt sup
porter, condemned President Taft for
signing the Payne tariff bill and try
ing through Baliinger, to destroy
Roosevelt's conservation policies and
nullifying the work of Dr. Wiley
against impure drugs and food.
Pinchot insisted that there 19 noth
ing in the statement that Roosevelt
win boit. Pinchot also answered the
allegation that Colonel Roosevelt vi
olated President Taft's friendship.
"Mr. Roosevelt believed that Mr.
Taft would stand for the people," said
Pinchot,' "so he supported him in
1908.
"President Taft's record shows that
Mr. Roosevelt was mistaken and Mr.
Taft is not to be trusted.
"So when the people called Colonel
Roosevelt, he answered so as not to
let the people suffer another four
years of Taft "

PRISONER IN JAIL
Sheriff T. D. Taylor's Coyote-dog
naa a cnance iasi mgni ueiwee.i a
night in jail or death and he chose
the former alternative, or rather Of
ficer Ira Hughes chose it for him.
Freaking loose from his chains which
have kept him a prisoner in the
sheriff's back yard for the past few
months, he came down town last
night for a frolic. It so happened
though that Dan P. Smjthe's two
hounds, trained to hunt coyotes, were
down on the street also and but for
the timely appearance of the night
officer they would have made a
corpse of the half wild animal.
The sheriff's pet is a cross between
a coyote and a Spitz dog but, so far
as appearance goes, the Spitz half
U almost a negligible quantity. When
Officer Hughes observed the animal
frisking about on the street", he Im
mediately decided that It was neces
sary for the peace and safety of the
city to effect Its capture which he
did after considerable effort. Just as
he did so the Smythe hounds caught
the scent and the lust to kill seized
them and, what with their efforts to
get at the hybrid coyote and the lat
ter's efforts to escape from his arms,
the officer had trouble enough. How
ever, he finally made his way to the
rltv hall where his prisoner was
locked up for the night. Puffing and
prespirtng he went to his office,
took out the police blotter and medi
tated for some time upon the nature
of the charge which should be booke.ltl

sentiment In favor of the move is
well night universal and also that

especially the words: "I will have
a good deal to say" if the people de
cide against him 01 a
juelin th.lp plhta T. i,

ask Is that the people read it and'
take it at Us face value. Any one who
tries to detract from the words or
reads anything into them is guilty
of faking."
Colonel Roosevelt also denied that
the auditorium had been leased in
Chicago to hold an independent con

of wealthy people residing within the
city or elsewhere in the county. It
is hoped to have the list headed with
a $10,000 subscription from some one
benevolently inclined and then to se
cure money from other subscribers
in proportion. In this way It is
hoped to secure a $50,000 fund with
out due hardship upon anyone.
The optimism of the committee was
expressed today by Chairman J. W.
Maloney, who predicted that when
the move gets well underway a fund
of $50,000 will be raised without
great difficulty. He pointed out
that the people of Union county and
La Grande are giving $80,000 for a
Y. M. C. A. In La Grande and that
the people of this city and county
are In even better position financi
ally than are those across the moun
tains. The Judge also declartl that
In the juvenile cases that come be
fore his court he sees great need
for a local institution that will not
only look out for the young men but
for girls as well, as Is proposed by
those backing the Y. M. C. A. move.
