His de light with the work done by the pres ent congress and expressed by Presi dent Wilson in conversation with members today at his room in the capltol while waiting for the final ad journment. He said his term of office so far was an unique experience. He missed most of his usual summer va cation, he said, but hoped that for eign and domestic affairs soon would adjust themselves so he could have a brief period of relaxation. The president confessed he was very tired. He attributed this fact to the late hours he has been compelled to keep In order to keep up with the business of his office. The president has been up late every night for three months. Issue Statement.

TWO PIONEER RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY ARE DEAD MRS, WATTS OF ATHENA AND GEARY C. JUDSON ANSWER LAST SUMMONS, "A million dollar rain" is the way the farmer, of Umatilla county are characterizing the heavy precipita tion of last night ana this morning. It was unquestionably one of the best rain, of the season, being a gentle and continuous downpour and prac tically all of the moisture sinking Into the earth. The rain began fall ing soon after midnight and contin ued until late In the morning while Indications are that more will fall this afternoon. The official Instrument of the weather observer shows that al most a half Inch. fell, the actual pre cipitation being .43 of an Inch. With the .14 of an Inch which fell on the first day of the month, the total for the month is already .57 of an inch. The rain of this morning was a snow in the mountains and a heavy one at that, according to reports com ing Into the city. Trainmen on No. 17 state that at Kamela between five and six inches had already fallen by the time they came through and that the storm was still In progress. This Insures more water for the streams much to the satisfaction of the irrl gatlonlsts so that altogether "the weather is fine." 0R6ANIZED BASEBALL HERE IS DOUBTFUL PROPOSITION YAKIMA WILL NOT BE IS AND OTHER TOWNS ARE BEGIN NLNG TO W EAKEN.

McFaut, county health of ficer, has received a report from Dr. Calvin S. White, state health officer, on the dov that ran mad at Hold man several days ago. The head of the dog was sent to Portland for inspec tion and Dr. White reports that negrl bodies are very apparent. This means the dog was affected with rabies. It Is advised by Dr. White that the doga and other animals bitten by the mad dog be securely confined for several weeks to see If they become affected. He say. It Is possible one-third of the number may develop rabies. Orders that alf the animals bitten be either killed or kept In confinement have been given by Dr. McFaul and the constable of the Holdmon precinct is endeavoring , to follow the Instruc tions. The mad dog bit several other dogs, a cow and some pigs. He tried to bite a Utile boy but the lad was saved through the shutting of a gate. jr-l .in i The ground In the eastern theater of war is frozen solid, precluding the digging of trenches In most cases.

This Is a hol low space In the ground heaped over with billots of wood and brush and stuffed full of straw. . News was received here this morn ing of the death of two long-time res idents of Umatilla county, Mrs. Liz zie Watts of Athena, and Geary C. Judson, formerly of this city. The death of the former occurred this morning at Athena, following a long Illness from cancer and the death of the latter occurred at the Will Evans ranch above Pilot Rock late last night. It was caused by consumption. Mrs. Watts was the widow of the late Thomas J. Watts, pioneer stock man and farmer whose death oc curred only about a year aso. Before her marriage she was Miss Uzzie Noylor, a native of Arkansas. To Mr Watts she was married in March. 1 S 7 1 . and to them were born five children, Flora R., deceased, Marvin L.. prominent business man of Athe no. Homer I., mayor of Athena and well known attorney, and Thomas F. and Henry W.t both deceased. Mr. Judson years aRo was employ ed as a printer on the old Pendleton Tribune and later ran a Job-printing plant. Some years ago he w-ent to Alaska and engaged In prospecting and mining, returning only a few months ago because of broken health. Since then he has been at the Evans ranch. His wife Is dead but he has a son and sister in Chicago. He Is a brother-in-law of Mrs. Evans and also of Walter Wells of this city. The body was brought In today to the Folsom undertaking parlors but funeral ar rangements will not be made until word Is received from the sister. HAWLEY IS NAMED ONE OF COMMISSION WASHINGTON, March 4 Congressman Hawley of Oregon w-as named a member of the rural credits commission au- 4 thorized to prepare a bill for the next congress. The two Oregon towns of the Western Trl-state league are the only hope of keeping life in the league thia year,, and - without the support from other towns, they can not accomplish the feat, according to R. W. Ritner, president of the league. He thinks It very doubtful whether there will be organised ball In this part of the country this year. "I have Just had a letter from President Rundstrum of the Taklm club saying that It Is out of the ques tion to consider maintaining a club In that city again this year," said Mr. Ritner today, "and while I waa at Salem I received a letter from Manager August Bade of Walla Wal la stating that sentiment there is not at all favorable toward putting a team In the field this year. Tester day I hid a letter from President ' Clifford of the Baker cluh stating i-that Baker stands ready to put a team in the field if the other three towns are favorably disposed. While there is some sentiment in Pendleton against remaining In the league, I have no doubt but that this city would rise to the occasion if neces sary." None of the four cluba made any money last year. In fact all went behind, Pendleton probably having the smallest deficit. It was a bad year for baseball all over the coun try and. In spite of the shorter sea son and the lower salaries, the clubs could not keep their heads above water. Jitney Ordinance Adopted. LOS- ANGELES, March 4. Over the veto of Mayor Rose the city coun cil unanimously adopted a Jitney bus ordinance providing that drivers ot Jitneys shall post an indemnity bond of S5000 to protect passengers In case of accident.
