YOUNG PEOPLE ORGANIZE TO PROMOTE CHRISTIAN UNITY j Pendleton religious workers, nl the younger element, are to meet this evening at the l'res- bytertan church for the initiu- tion of a movement that may in . lime prove far-reaching The idea in lew calls Tor the joint organisation of ail the young peoples religious societies into one body and eventually the cut of busin gear. Those in the party and Mrs. Itoy Alexander, Fred Hloch, Curl Perlnger and Marshall Spell. The patty was enroute to Hingham and they did not leave Pendleton until after 10 o'clock, so it was quite dark at the time of the trouble. The car had just rounded the bend on the Halt pin curve when Hoy Alexander, who was driving and had gone down the hill on intermediate, discovered the car was out of gear. He applied the foot brake and when it failed to respond ihrew on the emergency brake, which hud also been rendered Life less by the accident. Meanwhile the car had gained mo mentum and was going at terrific speed down the hill. Mr. Alexander succeeded in holding the car In the road until within 15(1 feet from the foot of the grade. There he ran Into a small log on the left side of the road and the log brought the car to a stop without damage. The people in the j cur were entirely unhurt. At the beginning of the dash down i hill Fred Bloch Jumped from the rear j seat and landed without harm other than some bruises. A moment later j Carl Perlnger jumped from the car und in falling struck his head on a rock in such manner that he was stunned fur a time, though not seri ously hurt. The car itself was not damaged and was brought in last evening under its ow n power. Had the car continued its rourse to the foot of the hill it would j have struck a tree at the bottom of fhe grade and a disasterous accident would have been certain. The members of the party were res cued by N'esmlth Ankeney who had preceded them and driven back from Hingham when news of the accident reached the resort over the phone. as II SU III .MrMwtmmM.wtwm' -jiw.B-1-irl I PRESIDENT AGAIN CALLS ROAD HEADS FOR SHORT CONFERENCE, BROTHERHOOD STAND IS FIRM In their drive against the Germans, the Hritish have discovered some things they did not know about war, and this gun is one of them.

STRIKE WOULD IMPERIL 0RE60N WHEAT NOW IN TRANSIT WHEAT HITS HIGH MARK OF SEASON NEWS SUMMARY With dealers offering from $1.10 to 11-12 for club today, wheat has reach ed the highest figure of the season. The bearish reports of the many fail ures throughout the country has boomed the price. Farmers are re luctant to sell with the rising market and are of the opinion that the price will go even mu-h higher. It is reported that several small lots sold at 11.10 Saturday although the selling was not heavy. One man sold two crops which he has been holding and has yet his 1916 crop to sell. Prac tically no wheat has been purchased by local dealers today. With such high prices prevailing while the farmers still have their wheat, there will be more money turn, ed loose in the county than for many years, according to bankers.

ORGANIZED WORK IS NEEDED TO LAND TOURIST TRAFFIC Unless Pendleton, La Grande, Ra ker, Walla Walla and other eastern Oregon and eastern Washington towns join together In a concerted move, 1 he major part of the tourist traffic lrom the east will be diverted through interior Oregon, in the opinion of A F Alexander, OJM of the publishers 1.1 the Up-to-The-Tlmes Magazine who has Just returned from a two weeks' trip through counties east of Umatilla. Ontario, Vale, Burha, Bend, Prlne vllle and other cities on the interior route are organized, he says, und are conducting an active campaign to se cure the tourist trolflc. They are ,1.1.0 trying hard to make their routu the official extension of the Columbia Highway, contending that the Blue mountains form a natural barrier and that the bad roads over them make an additional obstacle That they arc making headway In their campaign is the substance of re ports received here. The La Gande observer In a recent Issue declared thai right now two-thlrdi of the tour. 1st traffic from the east Is taking the interior route. The same paper by a count made at Union ascertained 1 hat there are about 20 ears a day, east and west bound, passing over the mountain rtnite. It estimates that each cur spends on the average of 15 In La Grande, which means that the present traffic is worth $200 a day to the city. Twice that much Is lost by the traffic being diverted (he other Way, the paper contend, The interior route leads through a long stretch of level land, many miles of which Is through sagebrush. Towns ure few and far apart and hotel ac Com modnt ioh are not the best. The mountain route is much more iconic und gives the tourl.-t opportunity to make a side trip to Wallowa Lake or 10 brunch off und go to Walla Wal la and Spokane. Mr. Alexander declares that one o1 the first things to be done to secure this trlfflc is to Improve the roads over the mountains, lie brings word that Judge Phy of Colon county Is now ready lo meet Umatilla county on any Improvement decided upon for the Pendleton-La Grande road and also for a road across the mountain by way of Toll Gate.

He said "Hundreds of cities would be reduced to a bread manent basis for arbitration where other means than those now available are supplied. (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON."
