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."

EXAMINATION OF DOG'S
HEAD SHOWS RABIES GERM
Dr. D. J. 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.

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.

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. The mayor thought
the Indemnity should have been plac
ed at S10.000.
