building In answer to it a half dozen
stalwart sophies responded. Each
class was reinforced by two or three
more and soon the hall on the second
floor of Billings was covered with
squirming, fighting, putting mass of
humanity. The sophomores got the
better of the fracas and succeeded in
getting the colors away from four of
the under classmen. Right after
breakfast the sophomores spied lone
freshman wearing the forbidden cOlors
and bounced upon him. This brought
on general scrimmage which again
went to the more numerous and
husky sOphs.
Last night the freshmen OutWitted

MEETING OF INTERESTED PAR.
TIES WILL BE HELD IN
PENDLETON SATURDAY.,
WaIIa WaIIa Commercial Club Be
Represented by Dr.. N. G. BIaIock
and n. e. Johnson.

The government irrigation project
of Echo has not been abandoned and
of Echo and vicinity is now being ex-
perienced
The Echo Commercial club has Sc
cured the appointment of committees
from Echo, Coyote and Walla Walla
and hope to have committee ap-
pointed from Pendleton to meet in that
city on Saturday, October %. for the
purpose of selecting some capable,
efficient representative of the irr1ga-
ton interests of this district, to, con-
fer with the government engineers
and place before them the actual con-
dtions surrounding of the Echo prop
osition. and to induce them to aban-
don, if possible, the reservoir plan,
and prepare the tract for irrigation
under the canal system of winter ir-
rigation.
Echo will be represented at the meet
ing next Saturday by DR.. c. j. Smith,
H. c. Willis, Frank Van Cleve, O. D.
Teel and J. b. Saylor; Walla Walla
by H. f. Johnson and ID. \. G.. Blalock,
and Coyote by c. Nj. Warner.
1t will be the purpose of the meet
ing to select some one man to gather
statistics of the irrigated districts of
Umatilla county showing that the
amount of water which the govern
ment expects to use in storage reser
voirs is not necessary to the full rec
lamatiOn of that land. and to induce
the government to make surveys for
a system of diversion canals from the
Umatila river. through which the win
ter floods may be used to reclaim
the tract now included in the govern
ment reservation.
1t is the belief of practical irrigatOrs
that the government expects to store
more water than is necessary on that
quality of soil. and that failing to find
suitable storage facilities the engineers
will abandon the tract.
The prime object of the commission
to be appointed at this meeting is TO
Echo district.

COUNCIL TURNS DOWN PROTEST
OF PROPERTY OWNERS IN
PAVING DISTRICT,
Council Had Busy Session Last Nioht
Three Ordinances Were Read
and Passed.

The city council last night decided
by unanimous vote that the second
assessment of the property in the paw
ing district, officially known as local
Improvement district No. ,, should
stand. The matter came up when the
Judiciary committee, to whom the pro-
tests of number of property own
ers against the assessment had been
referred, made it's report The COM
not be granted and that the assessment
as made stand as the official assess
ment.
When Councilman Smith moved to
adopt the report it brought forth a
lengthy discussion. in which nearly all
the cOuncimen and J. NJ Turner took
part.
Councilman GlasfOrd was the first
speaker. He was in favor of laying
the report over until the members of
the council could investigate the mat
ter. He said it was an important ques-
ton and he was not in position to
vote intelligently on it at the present
time. He desired further informat ton
and suggested that it be made the sub
ject for special meeting of the coun-
ell
City Attorney Blandford advised the
council to do likewise
Councilman Smith said that he be-
| leved that the judiciary committee
had considered the question in a care
full manner and he favored the adop-
ton of the report.
Councilman Mexican stated that the
committee had worked five nights UNI
til after midnight, and he believed that
the committee had made a good re-
port. He said that it would be i'm
possible to have made a report that
would satisfy every property owner.
and if it was left to the council as a
committee of the whole it would take
a week to reach a conclusion.
J. NJ. Turner. one of the remonstra-
tors, then gained the floor and address
ed the council at length. He advised
the council not to act hasty in the
matter it might lead to endless and
was finally determined. He claimed
that he had expended considerable time
and money in investigating the matter
and from what legal advice he had re-
ceived, he was sure that the council
had not proceeded in the right man
ner when it had thrown aside the first
assessment and ordered the second
one made. He then had letter, writ
ten by Engineer Thomson of Seattle.
read TO the council. which covered
about the same ground that was con-
tanned in Mr.. Thomasn's report when
the paving question was first taken
up.
Councilman Martin, chairman Of the
judiciary committee, stated that the
committee had considered every phase
of the question and had particularly
went into the legality of the PROPOSE
ton. He was satisfied that the action
of the council would be sustained by
the courts.
The report was then adopted by the
council without a dissenting vote.
Two other remOnStranceS against
the assessment in the paving district
were filed by Louis Lauga and the
Jacob Betz Brewing & Mating com
pany. Both remonStranceS We're plac-
ed on file.

EASTERN OREGON, WASHINGTON
AND IDAHO EXPECTS RAIL
ROADS TO REACH OUT.
WaIIa WaIa and WaIIowa Counties
Look Toward the Stock War
for Help.

Reports from eastern Oregon and
Idaho are to the effect that railroad
pected to result in that territory from
the silent war of stocks now going on
in New York City. Years ago the o.
R. & n. Co. secured right of way
from Elgin, Or, to Lewiston, Idaho,
tapping a rich section of the Wallowa
country and opening a valuable min
eral district. About the same time
the Northern Pacific projected line
into this country. Then the agreement
between the two roads came up, and
neither road was built. There has
also been a subtle fight going on for
control of a highly productive district
surrounding Walla Walla. Develop
ments in each of these localities are
expected, says the Portland Telegram.
Right of way over the hills from
southeastern Washington into the
WallOWa country was secured by prl-
vate parties, supposedly in the inter
ests of the Northern Pacific, more than
five years ago. The thing was man.
aged by Walla Walla attorney, who
went among the farmers and range
owners of the country through which
the line would run, explained the adj
vantage a railroad would be to them
and obtained grants. The money eX-
penditure was almost nothing. In ad
ditOn to the rights of way. many val
liable power sits are included in this
virtual gift.
All maps Of Oregon show a projected
road from Elgin to Lewiston. Idaho,
which is plainly labeled as Q. r. & n.
