Pendleton anil Umatilla county saw

estimated from 6000 to 8000, gather

last evening to view the relic of Rev

hind the schedule time, respite mis
delay, the crowd waited patiently and,
when the train, decorated in the na
tional colors and with the picture of
Washington on the front of the en
gine, rolled in, broke Into enthusias
tic cheering. Hells rang over the
city and the band played patriotic
airs. I
No time was lost In spotting the
gondola car bearing the bell between
the two platforms which had been
constructed. At once the crowd began
streaming up the steps and a halt
hundred special police kept them In
' lino and moving In orderly proces
sion. To escape the congestion, hun
dreds mounted to the tops of the
boxcars nearby and thus received an
unobstructed view.
Everyone was able to sec the bell
and see It closely. Some saw it from
both sides and a few, waiting until
the crowd had gone, Inspected it
from underneath. Nearly all were
surprised to find so large a bell and
to see It In such a good state of pres
ervation. The Inscription upon It
could be plainly read by all and the
historic crack, which silenced the bell
when It was being tolled for the death
of Chief Justice Marshall, was easily
seen from a distance.
Members of the common and se
lect councils of Philadelphia stood
vpnn the gondola car and passed out
cards, booklets, badges and other
souvenirs to the crowd. The Quaker
City's four largest policemen stood
at hand as a guard for the proclalmer
of liberty.
Though an hour late In Pendleton
and scheduled for a 15 minute stop
only, the special train remained in
the local yards for nearly an hour and
a half In appreciation of the reception
given the bell. It was 7:50 when the
train pulled out for Walla Walla.
Indians SeO Hell.
The delay In reaching Pendleton
was caused partly by stops made up
on the Umatilla reservation to per
mit the Indians to view the bell. A
stop was made at Cayuse where the
Indian celebration Is being held, and
It is doubtful whether the red people
were half as Interested In the bell
hb the Philadelphia were In them.
The Indians put on a war dance whilo
the moving picture machine aboard
the train recorded the scene. At
Mission another stop was made to
permit the. Indian children of the
agency school to see the boll. Mov
ing pictures were taken there also
and the crowd In Pendleton was
caught by the official camera as
well. Hundreds of cameras and ko
daks In the hands of local people
were focused upon the Liberty Bell
and snapped.
The crowd that came In from over
the county fully Justified the predic
tions made of the interest in the visit
of the bell. From Athena, Weston,
Pilot Rock, Adams, ITermlston, Echo,
Stanflcld, Umatilla and other points
came many and almost the entire pop
ulation of Pendleton turned out. The
crowd was a most orderly one and
no difficulty was encountored In
handling It.

Among local sportsmen there la
some confusion regarding the game
luws this year owing to the fact
some changes were made by the last
legislature and the' Information has
not been dessimlnated very thorough
ly
The following extracts are from the
new law relating to the eastern Ore

(k) . Game animals Deer with
horns, open season from Augus 15 to
October 31 of each year. Bag limit,
of such deer, three during any one

DRASTIC IE
T
AGREE TO USE OF
Proposal That German Ships Carry
Americans Through War Zone not
Endorsed in London.
SUGGESTION IS FROM BERLIN
Under Foreign Secretary Zimmer
man Declare That Germany
Would Agree to Such an Arrange
ment Provided No Contralmnd Was
Found on Board.
LONDON, July 13 The allies
would not consent to an arrangement
between Germany and the United
States whereby the Interned German
ships might resume their sailings un
der the Btars and tripes, providing
they carried no contraband to Eng
land. In Berlin Under Secretary Zim
merman said Germany would consent
to such arrangemeiitn. The unani
mous opinion here was the allies
would not entertain such a plan for
the transportation of Americans
through the war zone. It was point
ed out that such a scheme would be;
a violation of the declaration of Lon
oon, which both Germany and the
United States signed,
"The transfer of an enemy vessel
to a neutral flag, after the outbreak
of hostilities is void, unless It is prov
ed that such a transfer was not made
in order to evade the consequences to
which an enemy vessel, as such, Is
exposed," the declaration states.

In American terms the Liverpool
price, based on yesterday's quotations
is $1.70 per bushel, or 86 cents a
bushel more than the bid price in
Portland. An error w as made yester
day In computing the Liverpool price
and the price in American terms was
then given nt $1 82 per bushel. Even
at the correct figure. $1.70 per bushel,
there is an immense difference be
tween the Portland and Liverpool
prices. 1
The Liverpool Quotations are on 98 I

Liverpool price reduce the quotation

New Laws Tend To
Increase City Taxes
INCORPORATED TOWNS ARE
LONGER EXEMPT FROM
ROAD TAXES.
NO
Hereafter neither Pendleton nor
any other incorporated town in the
county will be exempt from the 'gen
eral road tax as in times past, a law
passed by the last legislature making
such a provision. However, ths law
requires that at least 70 per cent of
the tax collected In any one district
shall be expended In that district
This provision will make the city levy
for street purposes smaller but. as a
whole, the law will tend to increase
the taxes upon city property.
The law gives the county court
power to levy a tax, not to exceed
ten mills, upon all property in the
county for general road purposes and
this tax money Is to be kept in a sep
arate fund. The county is to be di
dived Into road districts and it is pro
vided that each Incorporated town
shall be a separate district. Hereto
fore, the court has only been required
to spent 50 per cent of the money col
lected In each district for road pur
poses within the district but hereafter
seventy per cent must be thus spent,
leaving 30 per cent to be spent where
the court sees fit.
Another law which will tend to In
crease the city taxes Is that which
reduces the valuation upon side
tracks. Under the old law, side
tracks were figured in with the main
lines in assessing the railroad com
panies but the new law provides that
they shall be valued only half as high
as the main lines. The main lin
tracks are assessed at $50,000 per mile
which means that side tracks will b
assessed at $25,000 per mile. There
about seven miles of sidtnits in Pendle
ton and thus the new law will reduce
the assessed valuation of Pendleton
property $175,000.
