In an effort to Induce the Open River Transportation company to con tinue the operation of Its boats on the t'pper Columbia resolutions were adapted yesterday by the excursionists on the Umatilla-Pasco-Kennewlck steamer trip and a steering commit tee of seven has been named to han dle the movement towards keeping water transportation going. This committee Is composed of D. C. Brow nell, Umatilla; K. H. Casteel, Pilot Rock; E. P. Dodd, Hermiston: Frank Sloan, Stanfleld; Asa H. Thomson, Echo; H. N. Dryer. Umatilla, and J. E. Keefe, Pendleton. The committee is to meet In Pendleton September 12 for Its first session. On the excursion aboard the "In land Empire'' yesterday the news that the company had ordered the discon tinuance of the boats at the close of September was as a wet blanket up on the enthusiasm of (he crowd and while it did not quell the spirits of! the boosters or mar the pleasure of the outing, It was nevertheless a! u. impeller. It was on the re' urn run to L'ma-! tilla that a meeting was held in the j cabin of the Inland Empire for the j purpose of discussing the situation. 1). j (', Rrowiicll of Umatilla, cailed the j throng to order and Judge S. A. Low- ell started the ball to rolling by the j Introduction of a resolution covering i the subject. Before the vote upon the resolution was taken the whole subject of upper liver boat service was discussed pret ty thoroughly by a dozen or more present. It was admitted generally that Inland empire people who have had most to gain by the boat service have been slothful in turning pat ronage to the steamer line. The Port land men who have been behind the steamer line for years have annually been called upon to meet n deficit and have done so. But they have not had proper support from cither consign ors or consignees of freight. The tendency has been to ship by rail and the steamer line has been neglected (iespite the fact that much freight could come Just us well by boat. As a result while the open River company has been highly Instrumental In re ducing freight rates to eastern Ore gon and Washington, It has derived little reward for Its efforts. However, speakers at the meeting (Continued on Page 8) TROUBLE IS RENEWED IN MINING DISTRICT Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 3.

Osborne had the best pitching record in the league un til he Injured his flinging finger. Pembrooke was conceded by the fans of all four towns to be the best catch er In the league, which with his abil ity as a sticker, mado him a valuable man. Rader had no peer In the league as a fielding thlrdbaseman and his stick work until the last month was keeping htm In the .300 class. Au gustus has been the most spectacular player in the league. Though his fielding average is not as hlch as some of the other shortstops, his fast work both in the field and on the path, has more than offset his short coming.

I Announcing his determination to vote for Roosevelt, Cummins f-aid:i "It must be understood that I do so protesting against the organization of i! third party, but the republicans in! this state are opposed to Taft because his administration has not done the, things the country believes should have been done." Cummins asserted that the only way ; to make sure that the system em-! ployed In Chicago would be abolished : was to make it plain that the candi- j date was the product of such a sys- ' tern and cannot be elected. "Because 1 cannct support Taft," declared Cummins, "it does not neces sarily follow that 1 am not a republi can. I consider I am a better repub lican than ever, for it is clear to me that the existence of the party de pends on quick and emphatic condem nation of the w rongs I mentioned. The i reason the lvpub.icans are so large-j ly against Taft is that they believe he ; Is not a progressive and does not be- , lieve in the proper onse that the j people should rule. I shall vote for, Roosevelt because I believe he desires to promote the common welfare.-' i ENGLAND DENIESSHE HAS MADE PROTEST London, Eng., Sept. 3 Following an announcement made yesterday that England's demand for arbitra tion of the clause providing for free tolls for American vessels engaged In coastwise trade, was on the way to Washington, It was said today that no formal protest on the Panama canal bill had been sent.
