to Manager Edmund Mable of the lo

"I do not think that I can better
express my views In regard to wireless
telephony than to quote the telegrnm
which I have Just sent to Mr. Carty,
the chief engineer of this company,
with reference to yesterday's wire,
less telephone talks.
'Carty; I want to congratulate you
on yesterday's climax In tho way of
achievements, the greatest In Inter
communication that the world has
ever seen. To you and the wonder
ful staff, created by you, the world
owes a debt. To throw your voice di
rectly without the aid of wires from
Washington to Hawaii nearly 5,000
miles, a greater distance from New
Nork to Paris. Berlin, Vienna or Pet

Dental Clinic to
be Conducted by
Noted Chicagoan
DR. XI: I'll! K C, SMITH 80HED-
i LED ix) hi: here FIRST
OF .NEXT WEEK.
A dental clinic, conducted by no
leas a person than Dr. Arthur C.
Smith of Chicago, one of the lead
ing dentists or the United States. Is
scheduled for Pendleton the first
three days of next week, and It will
be attended not only by the local
dentists hut by others from over
eastern Oregon. The clinic will bo
free to the public and nil patients
treated at the clinic will receive the
treatment without charge.
Dr Smith is making a tour of the
Pacific coact states, stopping a week
In the larger cities to give his course
In conductive anaesthesia and nen-fc
bkx king to the different dentists. He
Is at Spokane this week nnd he
wax induced to stop at Pendleton
through the agency of the Eastern
Oregon Dental Society. This will
lie .the only place in eastern Oregon
where he will stop and Pendleton will
be the smallest city In the west tu
receive his clinic.
He will remain In Pendleton Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday and
will conduct the clinic mornings, aft
ernoons and evenings in order to get
In his entire course. It will be held
In Room 15 of the Judd building. Lo

methods of nerve blocking are con
sidered the most modern and the
moBt successful In eliminating all
pain from dental work.

Spanish steamer Millan Carrlsco Is
reported to have perished when the
vessel foundered Thursday off Lu
arcn. was wonderful, but to send the recog
nized voice part way over wire and
part through the air was still more
wonderful and was the demonstra
te of the chiefest use that will
probably attach to the wireless as
amplifying and supplementing, not
substituting, the wire system and
bring Into conversational communi
cation ships, Islands and places which
can not otherwise be reached. Your
work has indeed brought us a long
step nearer our "Ideal'' "A" univer
sal system.
"Signed, THEODORE N. VAIL."
Sept. 30, 1916.
"As you will see from this it is clear
that wireless will never substitute or
supplant the wire systems but will
greatly amplify them and extend their
usefulness. It Is humanitarian rather
than commercial, but it Is useful In
that It makes conversation possible
between places, and between places
and moving objects that could not be
connected by wire, as with the wire
less telegraph It probably never will
be dependable enough except as out
lined above.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HERE IN
COIMON WITH FIGHT BEING
MADE ON PREDATORY ANIMALS
s. K. Piper, scientific assistant in
the bureau of biological survey, was
here yesterday In connection wi'h
the campaign which the bureau tl
Inaugurating throughout the west
against the predatory animals
The purpose ol the campaign Is lo
control the ravages on livestock and
game by coyotes, wolves, cougar and
wilil cats. The work has been un
dertaken In response to an appeal
by stockmen which resulted In the
appropriation by the last congress
of tnS.OOO. for the purpose of check
ing predatory animals on the nation
al forests and public domain outside
the forests.
The affected region has been di
vided into eight districts, in each of
which a force of reliable expert
hunters is being organised for worn
under the direction of an Inspector,
throughout the year. These hunters
are being paid JT5 per month and
are not allowed to collect bounties.
The skins and skulls of animals ta
ken by the hunters become govern
ment property.
E V. Averill of this city, is the in
spector for this district which in
WILL CANVAS PEOPLE
TO LEARN FEELIN6 AS
TO COMMISSION PLAN
That the question of adoption of
commission government In Pendleton
should be submitted to the people at
the approaching election was the con
census of opinion expressed at the
meetliis of the general committee of
1913 last evening. However some fa
vored the managerial Idea, and ad
journment was had for one week to
ascertain the state of public sentiment
upon the latter question. La Grande's
experience with a city manager has
been so satisfactory that It appeals lo
many from a business standpoint.
It seems likely, according to Judge
Lowell, that substantially the same
charter as was voted upon two years
ago will again be presented. It was
carefully drawn, nnd really embodies
the manager, he says, the duties be
ing exercised by the three commis
sioners In their respective depart,
ments.
Judge Lowell, who was chairman
of the committee two years ago. states
that when the sentiment of the pub.
lie has been ascertained during the
coming week, a new steering commit
tee will be selected, nnd an active
campaign instituted. Street speaking
in explanation of the proposed sys
tem, and upon the general situation
will be Introduced.
York Guardsmen
of Greater New York moblliied on
Saturday at Van Cortland Park it
the northern end of the city and en
gaged In the largest view of maneu
vers which has ever been held by
the New York militia. Governor
Whitman reviewed the troops and
cludes Oregon and Washington His
permanent headquarters will be in
Pendleton. All applications by
hunters for employment should be
addressed to him. The applications
should include a statement of the
applicant s age. experience in trap
ping, the locality in which he is best
acquainted, the amount of trapping
equipment in possession, and should
be accompanied by recommendations
In writing from forest supervisors,
officers of stock associations, or In
terested stockmen who know of his
work along this line.
The co-operation of stockmen is
invited in advising the inspector ot
damage recently inflicted by preda
tory animals, and in otherwise as
sisting in developing the work. Much
aid may be given especially by report
on the presence of wolves and moun
tain lions.
While the entire situation cannot
be met during the present year, It ia
thought that an organization which
will do effective work can be estab
lished throughout the range country
of the west and that many of the
destructive predatory animals can
be killed.

THREE ARRESTED FOR
OTHER CHARGES ARE FILED
AGAINST FOREIGNERS AT
SEASON'S OPENING.
Game Warden Tonkin arrested
three foreigners at Hermiston this
morning on charges of illegal shoot
ing. Two of the men are Greeks and
one is a German. Alt three are
charged with shooting on the govern
ment preserve, one is charged with
shooting without a license and one ia
charged with shooting before sun
rise. They had only secured a few
ducks as they had Just begun oper
ations when the game warden ap
peared. The three were in the game pre
serve between Hermiston and Uma
tilla and Tonkin walked out from
Hermiston early this morning, a dis
tance of about four miles to appre
hend the men. He went down to
Hermiston last night so as to je on
the scene at the opening of the duck
season this morning, anticipating that
someone would undoubtedly overstep
the law governing the shooting of
game birds. The men arrested will
have a hearing before Justice of the
Peace Dodd tomorrow.
Many hunters are in the Hermiston
district today and according to re
ports several good bags of ducks have
been made.

NEW ORLEANS, via Baton Rogue
Oct. 1. Unofficial estimates placed
the property damage in New Orleans
from the storm at near J2. 008.000
and the loss of life at seven It was
estimated that at least lit persons
were more or less injured by collapse
of buildings, falling signs or flying
glass.
Of the seven known dead, three
were drowned. Four were killed ia
the ruins of structures which col
lapsed. Two of those drowned were
blown overboard from the steamer
Creole, which left for New York but
anchored near the month of the river
to await better weather.
The body of an unidentified white
man was washed ashore at West
End. Two unidentified men met
death when a veterinary hospital was
demolished, and two unidentified ne
groes were killed In the ruins of a
building.
The Creole reported by wireless a
number of bodies were seen floating
down the Mississippi and that houses
for miles were demolished. Many
parks scattered through the city sus
tained damage to trees and shrubberj
that cannot be repaired for years.
