what they thought of the right Of the
company on Grand avenue under the
easement which descended from Col.
William Christy and Josiah Harbert,
who had dedicated the thorOughfare to
the county with the filing of the plat
of that tract through which il runs.
They said they had no information re-
garding the existence OF the easement
and declined to express an opinion.

The first shipment of North Pow
der ice for the season, was received
by the o. R. & N. this morning and
the section men are busy today stor-
ing it away in the ice houses of the
company. This shipment amounted
to six cars or $50 tons 1t will re-
quire 500 tons to fill the ice house.
While the ice is about IA inches in
thickness, the harvest is very late,
and the first shipments are of unusu-
ally thin ice for this season of the
year. The weather has been too mild
in the North Powder country for a
first-class quality of ice, and the
shipment will be delayed until a bet
ter grade is formed.
North Powder is the ice supply
point for natural ice, for all of East
ern Oregon; there being three large
ponds in use, to all of which the O.
r. & N. company has built spurs and
switches, for loading ice from the
ponds, without an extra transfer.
There are now over 100 men at
work in the ice harvest and at the
height of the harvest over 200 men
will be employed. Every freight
train that passes North Powder going
either way, during the winter season
picks up the ice cars.

PENDLETON MAY HAVE $4,000 THEATRE

That Pendleton may have new
$4,000 theater, within the next year,
is now a promising possibility.
A scheme is on foot among local
capitalists and those interested in a
theater to lease the property belong
ing to the o. r. & N. and situated at
the corner of Main and Railroad
streets, for a period of years, for the
purpose of building and operating
there. a first-class, modern, up-to-
date theater, the stage to be on the
ground level, and the auditorium to
be sunken below the ground level in
the basement that is now excavated
on the property.
This is one of the best locations in
the city, for any business, and 1t is
thought that by leasing the property
from the company for a term of
years, it would be n profitable invest
ment, as well as supplying a local
need to erect first-class, artistic
and well-fitted theater building
there.
The scheme is to build two store

RESUMPTION OF sMOOT INVESTIGATION

Washington, Jan. 17.-Judge Nc
Carly resumed his testimony in the
Smoot hearing this morning with the
statement that there was disposi-
tion among the Mormons to turn the
judiciary of the state over to the Gen
tiles, with the exception of some dis
trict judgeships. Church officials
tried to keep entirely out of politics
but were continually nagged by poll
ticians.
r. w. Young, formerly in the reg
ular army, testified he was a demo-
crat and Mormon, grandson of Brig
HON Young, and president of one of
the four stakes" into which Salt
Lake is divided by the church. Is
not a polygamist. and believed the
sentiment of Mormons is decidedly
hostile to polygamy. Since 1890 there
has been no teaching of polygamy and
the policy of the church was to dis
courage the practice.
Attorney Taylor read a dispatch
purporting to give the language OF
Bishop Connolly at Eureka, Utah,
Sunday last. The bishop is quoted as
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-17

then commissioner general of the
land office, as merely the duty of a
senator to his constituents. He de-
clared he had no suspicion of any
thing wrong with the homestead en-
tries in question; that his personal
dealings in the case were identical
with that in hundreds of others.
II have done this invariably, with
out making any charge, or accepting
compensation of any kind and so
long as i remain senator shall con-
tinue to do these things for my con-
stituents, so help me God, even at the
risk of hundred indictments"
His Enemies Have No Evidence"
Criticizing the public officers who
knowingly misconstrue the public
acts of public men, and thus seek to
distort and convert them into badges
of dishonesty" Mitchell said, in con-
clusion. Permit me to declare that
the representatives of any govern
ment who will tolerate this are un-
worthy the exalted position they oc-
cupy. As for myself, 1 defy them
here and now to produce any evidence
worth moments consideration,
which will connect me in any wrong
full manner whatever with any land
frauds in Oregon OF elsewhere"

rooms, fronting on Main street with
a 25-foot corridor between, leading
back to the main entrance of the
theater which would be back so feet
from Main street. At the back end
of this corridor could be situated the
hox offices and business offices. There
would be a system of folding doors
in the front entrance of the auditori-
um, so the entire 25-foot corridor
could be opened up for an exit, beside
having three exits on the Railroad
street side.
Local capitalists are enthusiastic
over the proposition, and all that re-
mains to prevent the consummation
of the plan will be the refusal of the
o. r. & N. Co. to lease the property
for term of sufficient duration.
Because of insufficient room in the
present theater building, the best
shows that come to the Northwest
pass Pendleton by. If new theater
were constructed on modern plans,
Pendleton would enjoy the best line
OF attractions on the road.

Crook County Levy.

The levy this year drops to 2l
mills or l "a mills less than it was
for 1908, the last year upon which
taxes were paid. The decrease is due
to the lowering of the state and coun-
ty tax both of which had l IA mills
sliced off their figure for 1903. This
makes a total of 8 1-2 mills reduc-
tion, but this was partially counter
balanced by slight increase in the

be levied upon the last roll.-Prine-

night. The state made a strong case

Thomas F. Vahoy made the opening
argument for the defense. He said

the crime, that he owns the stickpin
produced in evidence, that the per-
son who wrote the note and Morton
address" was none other than Miss
Page.
The defense admitted Tucker owned
the knife in question, that he broke
the knife after having been under
suspicion, which frightened him, and
would prove also that the knife could
not possibly inflict the wounds on
Miss Pages body.
