TEAL IS VALUABLE GENERAL FOR FUTURE Local Men Made no Ef f ort to Capture Meeting and Expressed Broad Position. As a result of the open river asso ciation meeting here yesterday the advocates of the CnK.lill.'i ral'lds pro ject are. highly enthused and they have reason to be. They did not try tn ranture the convention or any thing of the sort. In fact they endeavored to keep hands off the machinery. Pendleton people felt that being hosts they should nut press the I'mutilla rapids project unduly and speakers like Judge 1 'helps, Fred Stetwcr and Judge Lowell, made it clear that local aontlment is broad nnd will be beck of any other project should a move f.'iv orobu. ou(( b f.viniie,.,, i, ...,- ., But the whole tenor of the conven tion, from J. X. Teal's address lo the final adjournment, was highly favor ably to the rapid-; project as the thins reuuirlng immediate attention. The resolutions committee, headed by Marshall Dana of Portland, incor porated this Idea in tho resolutions adopted. Therefore the open river association is officially committed to j tho project nnd that action means much. It means that a very powerful I Interstate association, with money in tho treasury, and with one of the big figures of the northwest, J. X. Teal, as leader is on the job. Mr. Teal is re- j Forded as perhaps the most valuable ally the project has. He is a "stayer" ' In such work and he has a habit of j putting things over. j Along with the Portland brigade at the meeting yesterday was Klton Wat- kins, congressman elect from Port-1 land. Mr. Watkins heard all the talks and he declared himself emphatically as beiirff the service of the association and ready to heln wherever he can.

IDEALS OF PEACE MUST SUPPL IS PLEA OF ORATOR Canadian War Hero Tells Lo cal People That Establish ing of Peace is Vital Need. To supplant the present War-llkc spirit 'that exists in all Countries In the world wilh a desire for peace that shall be exalted In the consciousness' of people through as ninny mediums us possible, even as war has hitherto been exalled.

"International Good Will." The address was given under I'.e aus pices of the Pendleton notary club. The experience of war gained by personal contact dining the four years he served Willi the Canadians In France nnd Helglum, knowledge ga'n ed by world wide travel and a finishes education contributed to Ihe conclu sions drawn by the speaker in his ad dress.

Home of the uroiucfiis tnat must be solved to realize this idea are to loam to submit to law In International af- I fairs as we do in national affairs, lo (get away from the belief that a war- like spirit Is commendable In a people, to learn how to oppose those Interests that have billions of dollars of capita.

The declaration that is oflen made I by those who say that peacn is an Im lpis ble thing because "human nature 'will be human nature" was scored by tlo. Itev. Mr. Fallls.
